A. CORNERSTONE LAID BY DR. Dl POLING 500 Attend Exercises at Central Queens Structure Cost $700,000. East Hampton and already many homeless kittens and cats are straggling around the village looking for seme one who will take them in. Twenty-odd years ago the late Mrs.

Mary Dayton, widow of Dr. Charles Dayton, was a particular guardian angel for the stray and deserted summer cats. Each year, at the close of tile summer season, more cats would b3 taken in at the Dayton home and at one time Mrs. Dayton provided a home for approximately 100 cats. Season by season the cats discovered that a home walled them In the large white house on Main where Mrs.

Dayton lived, and cats from all parts of the village instinctively made their way to this cat refuge. In later years this kind woman was nearly crowded out of her home by the cats and a second house on the Dayton property used for the "overflow." But now there is no "big white house" on Main st. where the cats may go after they are deserted and the members of the Ladles' Village Improvement Society are attempting to have this inhumane practice stopped. Mrs. Alfred Post Hlnton of New York is taking a leading part In this work and has appealed to summer residents who are closing their homes here to show the family cat some consideration before they leave.

She asks that they either find a home for the cat or else "take It to a veterinary who will mercifully destroy It for the small 'sum of 60 cents."

On the following day plans include a visit to the Board of Estimate where the protestors will make a formal argument against the proposed assessments. Residents declare the widening of i uit; inorougniare would De ot greater benefit to Manhattan, the Rock-aways and other districts, and for this reason they say tho city should bear the burden of the cast, which is likely to exceed $1,000,000. Joseph Young, president of tha Homestead Civic Association, who will preside at Tuesday's meeting, says the original plan was to widen the boulevard to 100 feet, while now the city is arranging to add 60 feet more.

rad Lang, past president of the Woodhaven Boulevard Improvement Association, declases that the taxpayers are more determined than ever to spike the plan to heap the expenses on them. However, he does not deny the feasibility ot improving the boulevard. Woodhaven civic leaders say, la considered a "bottle because of its present narrowness, which causes traffic jams.

are to ask the. Rockaway Board of Trade at its next meeting to appoint a committee to work for an improved lighting sys tem along the street, which is the only business thoroughfare in the Rockaway lieach section. Last year the movement was started by the Rockaway Beach Business Men's As sociation, which is now out of existence. The business men took the matter A3 far as Deputy Commissioner John Hassett of the Department of Water Kupply, Gas and Kleclricity in Queens, Alderman John J. Lenihan and Assemblyman William F.

Urun- ner. The Alderman and Assemblyman were in favor of improving the lighting system. Commissioner Hassett reserved his decision. At the request of the business men survey of the present lights along the boulevard from Beach 75th to Beach 95th sts. was made.

The survey showed some 30 of them, each of 200 candlepower, all on the south aide. The business men's plan was to add about 15 new lights of the type that have been installed in the villages long the Rockaway Branch in Nassau County by the Queens Borough Gas Electric Company. The lights are of an ornamental design and are AnninnnH with a mnHlm Ktvle Of rfi- flector that gives more light with the use of the same amount of current. The installation of the lights would Involve no expense to the city or to tho business men. The city would, however, be required to spend a little more money each year for street lighting current because of the additional lamps.

According to several members of the old association who were familiar with the situation at that time, tho lamps would be placed so that both sides of the street would receive the same light and the entire aspect of the boulevard would be enhanced, inasmuch as the lights give of what Is known as a "boulevard llhtlnc-" effect. Last year only 20 blocks of the boulevard were considered because that was the area over which the Rockaway Beach Business Men's Association was active. This year the plan could easily be extended to take In the entire boulevard and there Is nnnstbilitv that the Far Rockaway business men could also be Interested In the plan and thus induce the city to approve to new styse lamps for the entire length of the boulevard. Several of the business men have declared their Intention of attending the next meeting of tho KocKaway Board of Trade and ask that a special committee be appointed to revive the matter at Long Island City.

Each year, when summer residents hate closed their homes and hotel guests have departed for their homes in New York, Brooklyn and other cities, stray cats, mostly of the alley variety, appear at front doors, back doors and even in garages.

Cats are popular pets here during the summer season; each family has one. Cute little kittens are taken by little boys and girls for summer pels, but, after two or three months, the kittens arc turned loose and at an age when they are hardly old enough to know the ways of the cat world. But, although the family with Its car and servants are taken back to winter homes, the little feline friend is left behind. "Leaving the cat behind" is a regular part of the summer.

Sept, 24. A general protest against the practice of so-called double parking on Schoo.l and Glen the city's main business avenues, has been started by storekeepers and autoists desiring to make purchases In the city. The double parking practice consists in parking cars alongside automobiles already parked at the curbs. The practice reaches its worst moments when, in addition to a row of cars parked end to end along each curb, two other rows begin to make their appearance alongside each of the curb line of cars, leaving but a narrow lane through which can pass but one car at a time. Many storekeepers are facing loss of business because of thg situation, they claim, but some of them find caustic remarks to make about other merchants, store clerks and business men who park their cars in front of or near their places of business from morning until night.

Public garages In Glen Cove are few, and the public has not yet taken readily to such 26-cent parking lots as have been opened since the open ing of the new Cove Theatre several weeks ago. RESORT. Atlantic City. X. t.

Northacker, has actively nrrea uis cuurca sigai years This year has marked important anniversaries of a number of famous Long Island and Queens churcjies whose places of worship and early members and pastors have left deep impressions on the history of the community which they served generations ago.

Among the churches of Queens, and that borough has a number of edifices with colorful backgrounds and historical settings, the First Presbyterian, of Newtown, which celebrates Its 275th anniversary during the last week of October, ranks high, historically and in service' and one of the most colorful of any ecclesiastical body on Long Island. Church Links I'p Town To one who reads the history of Newtown, or is at all familiar with Its history. It is evident that a history of the old town of Newtown and that of the First Presbyterian Church on Queens blvd. are one and the same. The llev.

John Moore, the first minister, was one of the original settlers, coming from Hempstead with others who settled at Newtown. Out of this original ecclesiastical body grew the church that will celebrate its 276th anniversary next month. One of the first acts of the settlers was to set aside a piece of land on which to erect a town house. This house was to be used as a church and home for the minister, as a day school and for the town meetings. This first public building stood within a block of the handsome edifice now used by the church for divine worship.

It is opposite the old church now used as a Sunday school and parish hall. On December IS, 1670, the inhabitants of the town voted that a meeting house should be built and a tax of 40 pounds be made on the citizens of Newtown, to be paid one half in corn and the other half in cattle, says the town records. A prominent citizen. Ralph Hunt, who held the position of magistrate, town overseer and surveyor under the Dutch regime, gave "a small gore of land on which to build the edifice."

They had no place of worship but set bravely about to erect another church building. The foundation stones of this church were laid hoi ana on tnem may be deciphered the Initials of prominent members of the church at the time of its erection. This building, shown Jn the photograph above, was enlarged in 1SS6 and is now used as a 'boo' -nd parish house.

Thy comerstono of tho brick structure opposite, now used for all regular aervioea, was laid with appropriate ceremonies in U.S. Two years later the edifice was dedicated and farewell services held in the historic old church that had for so many generations served the people of the parish. No history or mention of this famous church or its founders however brief would be complete without mention of its first minister, the Rev. John Moore. He was an Englishman who migrated to New England when about 21 years of age.

He settled in Southampton in 1644. He was engaged in collecting funds for the education of students in Harvard University, where in 1646, he completed his studies. During 1646 he obtained a license to preach but was not authorized to administer the sacraments. He was not a regularly ordained minister. During the Indian troubles, he moved to Hempstead, here he continued to preach the gospel as in Southampton.

In 1652 he located in Newtown and became the first minister in the village. He returned to England in 1656 for the purpose, it Is believed, of receiving his ordination. He returned the next year and died In September, a comparatively young man. He was buried In the old Town Burying Ground on Court st. that Is now used as a playground.

No stone marked his grave and searchers In transferring graves of a number of old parishioners to the church burial ground were unable to locate It. The church treasurer. James L. M. Hathaway, of Jl Grand Is the only direct lineal descendant of Pastor Moore among the members of the church.

He has been associated with the work of the Hunday school for more than half a century. In the early days following the death of the first minister It was extremely difficult' to obtain the services of a pastor and for nearly five years the church was without a minister. The Rev. William Leverich was settled in the Town House, as pastor in 1662, after it has undergone extensive repairs. It was during the pastorate of Mr.

Leverich. that the first church building was erected and he died in the midst of his useful labors in the spring of 1677. Build Second Town House In July, 1677, it was voted by the citizens of the town at a public meeting, to build a second Town House and call another minister. It was not until 16 SO that the vacant pulpit was filled, when the Rev. Morgan Jones was called by the town to be its minister.

He was one of about 2,000 ministers who had refused to agree to the act of conformity passed In 1662 and was ejected from a parish in Wales. He came to America in 1669. While officiating as chaplain to Major Gen. Bennett, he was captured by Tuc-clow Indians in South Caroline who decided to put him to death. His life was saved by a Sachem of tho Doeg Indians, who, taking a fancy to him, ransomed him and took him to the settlement of his tribe.

The minister remained with the Indians four months, preaching to them three times a week. He was treated kindly and the Indians frequently went to htm for advice and counsel. Mr. Jones came to Newton in 1677 and took up his residence in the Town House erected that year. The town also agreed to give him "fifty pounds sterling for his services." At the end or tne year consiaerame air flculty was experienced In collect' Ing Mr.

Jones' salary, a soma ob Jected to the law that compelled them to pay a portion of the minis ter's salary, whether they agreed with his doctrines or not. Others could not understand English and objected to suportlng a man they could not understand. Probably on this account the minister left Newtown and accepted a call to fitaten Island. He made complaint to the Court of Sessions about the non payment of his salary and the Court ordered the enforcement of the law against those who had not paid, Similar trouble arising in Staten Island, he returned to Newtown agree ing to accept a "free will" offering for his services, which were to in elude the duties of schoolmaster as well as preaching. After the resignation and removal of Mr.

Jones the town was for a time without another minister but chose his successor at town meeting May lo. ie7. Since its earliest preacher, tho First Presbyterian Church Jum been pott on laml and sea, in bay and stream for it tummertime until November.
