When, through tir fresh-awakened land, The thrilling cry of freedom rung And to the work of welfare strung The yeoman's Iron hand I Then marched the brave from rocky steep. From mountaln-rlver swift and cold; The borders of the stormy deep.

The vales where gathered waters sleep, Bent up the' strong and bold As If the very earth again Grew quick with God's creating breath. And, from the sods of grove and glen, Rose ranks of lion-hearted men To battle to the death. Already had lbs strife begun; Already, blood, on Concord's plain, Along the springing grass bad run, And blood had flowed at Lexington, Like brooks of April rain. i 'That death-stain on the 'vernal sward Hallowed to freedom all the shore; In fragments fell the yoke abhorred The footstep, of a foreign lord Profaned the soil no more. Closing Meeting Of the 17th A.

D. Women Republicans The closing meeting of the Women's Organization of the 17th Assembly District Republican Club held at the clubhouse, 78 Herkimer street, on June 20, was a very pleasant affair. The speaker of the evening, Mojor Walter E. Corwin, the new leader of the Invincible Club, made an interesting address, stressing harmonious relationships. He was introduced by Mrs.

Maude A. Neale, the cc-leader, who thanked the women members for their loyalty and ability. Talk of the past brought out the fact that there is a plan on foot to bring into the organization the Hoover Club with a membership of 2,200. Miss Julia Jenkins, the president of the Women's Organization, welcomed the large crowd of women present and presented Mrs. Neale with a beautiful bouquet of roses.

Miss Frances Pouch, soprano soloist, sang a group of charming songs. Mrs. Walter Corwin was introduced to the members and made a short speech of appreciation. The evening ended with a social hour, during which refreshments were served by Miss Elizabeth Y. VanDoren, Mrs.

Nettle Pond and Miss. Alice Wilson. Gty to Take Over Gerrittsen Beach Supply The alleged menace of a possible failure in the water supply of a large fire threatened Gerrittsen Beach will be dispelled within the next month by 'the city's taking over the Beach Water Supply It was announced Monday evening at a meeting of the Gerrittsen Park Protective Association held at P. S. 194, Allen avenue and Bevy court.

Clvlo workers of the section have urged the city for more than five years to annex the local water company. James H. Moran, president of the organization, talked entertainingly of the history of their struggle. Attacks have made made during these five 'years not only upon the frequent paucity of supply, but also upon the quality of the water. Samples of the water furnished to the beach from two artesian wells, both understood to be 100 feet deep, were sent to the Department of Health recently with complaints of a disagreeable order and lead color.

A high content of hydrogen sulphide was described as the cause of the unpleasantness, but the water was given a clean bill by the city authorities, Mr. Moran admitted. Aside from Gerrittsen avenue, the entire beach is supplied by the local water company. The 12-lnch main running the length of Gerrltsen avenue was supposed to have been connected to the lines of the district to be used in case of serious shortage or in case of a catastrophe, Mr. Moran said.

No hook-up was ever made, however, he The Gerrittsen Beach Volunteer Fire Department recently circulated a petition urging the city to take over the Gerrittsen Water Co. They pointed out the danger of continuing to use the local system now that 2,000 frame dwellings and almost 15,000 residents needed to be supplied Gerrittsen has frankly outgrown Its local water system. The city Is now inspecting the pipe lines of the beach to determine whether or not they are strong enough to stand the standard water pressure. Mr. Moran later announced that the association will hold a bus ride to Blue Point, July 21.

While residents and property owners of the Klngslawn section of Flat-lands are delighted over the authorization by the city of the widening and paving of Avenue as a 100 foot boulevard from East 68th street to Bergen avenue, they maintain most vigorously that the assessment for the cost, approximately 8117,000 should be made a borough wide assessment rather than a local one. At the monthly meeting of the Klngslawn Civic Association held on Tuesday evening at headquarters, 1420 Ralph avenue, the final meeting before the summer recess, President William 3. Fltzpatrlck and his followers made a protest against such a local assessment on the grounds that the new boulevard will be of great use to motorists generally throughout the city and of benefit to them. It was further contended that Avenue will shortly be continued through Canarsle to link up with the Rocka-way boulevard as an important traffic artery and that It would be grossly unfair tot burden the huge' cost of the Improvement upon the local property owners who would only partially benefit from It. It was decided to lay this matter Immediately before the proper authorities.

The association also went on record as urging the Board of Education to establish portable schools on the site recently acquired by It on Avenue between East 63rd and East 64th streets so that when the fall term starts there will be accommodations for the children of the neighborhood. There was great rejoicing over the word that eventually a fine modern school building will be erected there, but It w.as further poltned out that Immediate facilities are absolutely necessary. The association also went on record as favoring greatly the proposed Utlca avenue subway plans and while preferring subway construction throughout feel that transit facilities are so sorely needed that they are not particular what method Is employed. Ralph K. Jacobs chairman of the Courts Committee of the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities was the guest and speaker of the evening and seriously Impressed the clvlo workers with his appeal for some steps to curb the lawlessness among the youths.

He told of his proposal for the establishment of a Boys Court under the Jurisdiction of the Magistrates to take over the work of boy defendants between the ages of 16 and 18. "A very Tecent report of the State Commissioner of Correction shows that from May 1 until May 29, there were 129 boys under the age of 21 received at the Raymond Street Jail. On' Mayi fll; the day the survey was made there were 43 boys detained there, or .17. 8-10 per cent of the total male roster there awaiting trial," he declared. "This Is a serious proposition and one the community must take cognizance of.

We must create character building agencies to compete for the attention of these young folks against the character destroying agencies that entrap them," he went on. "Not all the blame is on the parent. Things have changed. We have to get at it In a wholesale way Instead of a retail way as heretofore," he concluded. Stirred by the large number of accidents that have taken place, the Flatbush Chamber of Commerce will head a drive to change the physical make-up of Ocean avenue from Flatbush avenue and Empire boulevard to Parkslde avenue, and Parkslde avenue from Ocean avenue "to the Park Circle at Coney Island avenue.

This will include the elimination of the obsolete "cycle path" which occupies half of the roadway and which is the Indirect cause of many of the accidents. The Chamber, with the co-operation of many other civic and business organizations will ask that the cycle path be removed and Ocean avenue and Parkslde avenue widened to that extent, or as an alternative that one way traffic rules be Instituted to temporarily remove the hazard. A survey made by the Chamber shows that many automobiles "riding the trolley rails" as they must when traveling south along Ocean avenue and west along Parkslde avenue have been struck by trolleys or squeezed In the small space allowed them for passage and hurled onto the cycle path which stands In ominous silence and disuse alongside. More than twenty-five years ago, when the cycle path was laid out alongside of the park, hundreds passed over it on bicycles. It was quite the thing In those days.

But the day of the bicycle pre-eminence has long passed, and the cycle path remains, a reminder of the days gone by but as a detriment to the modern motorist. Inland Waterways Not to be Barred To Navigation Residents of Gerrittsen Beach Friday night rejoiced over assurance given to them at a hearing before Ool. William J. Barden, of the War Department, Friday afternoon, that the inland waterways of the section would not be barred to navigation. Col.

Barden promised a delegation of oivlo workers who attended the War Department Building, at 89 Whitehall street, Manhattan, that no permits would be granted for the construction of any abridge which would interfere with the passage of boats, it was said a the meeting' of the Gerrittsen Beach Property Owners Association held Friday evening at Seba avenue and Eaton court. Joseph Ruane, president of the organization, said that although he and his fellow memebrs are all strongly opposed to the proposed abolition of the bulkhead line In the vicinity of Sheepshead Bay and Plumb Beach, Daniel Russo, 42, of 560 Greene avenue, sustained a fracture of the left leg, and Jojjn Pecore, 32, of 120 Verona street, received a fracture, or thl nose, when Russo's car collided with a taxi driven by Aaron Schles-telnf, 1144 Lenox road, at Church and Ocean avenues, early Saturday. With the trolley tracks of the Franklin avenue Una crowded against the curbing of the cycle path, there is no way for the autolsts to travel south and west but on the rail. Only a few Inches separate the wheels of the machines from the curbing and with Trolleys whizzing past the steering wheel must be held firm or an accident occurs. Several serious smash -ups during the past few weeks have accentuated the danger.

The Chamber directors feel that the Ideal thing would be to remove the cycle path entirely and to asphalt the roadway, thereby bringing the trolley tracks In the center of the roadway. This would still allow a good sized sidewalk space next to the park for pedestrians. If this is found impossible, or even as a temporary measure to allay the "death avenue" propensities that lurk there, the Chamber will ask that this be made a one-way street, with traffic moving in an opposite direction to that on the roadway inside the park. It is pointed out that during the rush hours In the morning, motorists travel on the East Drive through the park, but in the evening, with the necessity, through the one-way system in the park, of traveling all the way around, they dash into Flatbush avenue and swing into Ocean avenue at Empire boulevard. The traffic Jam is terrific as a result.

In view of the fact that motorists from all parts of the city are Interested In this Improvement, the Flatbush Chamber of Commerce will attempt to secure borough wide co-operation in its drive. which Is favored by the city, that rsidents of the section realize that some alteration must be made in ahe lines for the construction jot Marine Park. Daily Vacation Bible School at Janes M. E. Church Janes Methodist Episcopal Church Is providing Its fourth annual Vacation school, to begin Monday, July 1, at 9:30 a.

m. This school will continue fof -nre successive weeks; closing on August the third. The teaching faculty this year Includes Miss Hapgood and Miss Alex-son, both of whom have served in school in past years. A third teacher will be secured, likely In th abilities of Miss Lelnlng, who has for four years beena teacher In Dally Vacation Schools. Mr.

Looker will be a fourth teacher. This Vacation School will be Janes greatest. Parents, encourage children to come regularly. Children, enroll early, and bring friends not much later. in this latter sector, the vast portion of the property to the east Is marshy land where a very low assessed valuation la placed.

Despite the fact that In theaheart of Square there has been a very considerable growth In building and population, this entire area Is In a class where the city officials will refuse to vote any sewer appropriations, he said. "The law precludes the posslbllllty of providing Improvements that will entail an assessment of more than fifty per cent of the assessed property valuation. Such la the unfortunate conditions existing there. Our department has laid out all the plans tor sewers In this section but It will not be possible at this time, especially to get the Board of Estimate to seriously consider any such sewer Improvements. It may be true that the assessed valuation of the property is too low, but that Is the state of affairs, I am sorry to state," the engineer declared.

Just what sieps can be taken to overcome this difficulty. President George E. Wehyrauch and his followers have not determined upon. The association took a recess In Its membership meetings until the fall, but Its officers and committee will continue to study the problem so that a new drive may be started In the fall. Old records that told of the days when the church was started in an open field, fifty-four years ago, the deed and many other interesting documents are to-day once again in the cornerstone of the Second Reformed Church, now In its new foundation at Bedford avenue and Martense street.

Work on the revamping of the exterior of the building and the construction ct the new parish house and parsonage costing in the neighborhood of 890,000 will be rushed to completion. The corner-stone, which bears the double inscription, "1875" on one side and "192B" on the other, was relald in place on Sunday afternoon at elaborate, impressive and largely attended exercises. It forms the keystone of the brick veneer, wall casing that will surround the 'exterior of the old frame church edifice, modernizing It in keeping with the other new buildings to be erected alongside, but retaining the old interior, which the, congregation has come, to love. It was an Impressive corner-stone laying and a significant one, in that it marked the change that a half-oentdry has wrought In Flatbush. When the church was built and the corner-stone originally laid, Bedford avenue termiriated at that point.

Today with the modern church plant epitomizing the progress of Flatbush, thousands of motorists, pass along Bedford avenue, with Its ultra mod ern traffic light direction to the seashore. Borough President James JJByrne was to have been one of the speakers at the corner-stone laying, but was called to Peeksklll to the 106th Infantry camp. In his place, hbwever, Assistant District Attorney Frederick L. Kopfl extended the congratulations of the borough. He said that the corner-stone Is the foundation of the church, so is the church the cornerstone of society.

"Would that the day come when the Bible may be substituted for the criminal code," he declared. Port Appraiser Frederick J. H. Kracke, Magistrate Alfred E. Steers, ex-Munlclpal Court Justice Edgar M.

Doughty and the Rev. Dr. Samuel S. Daughtry, pastor of the Old First Reformed Church, were the other speakers of the afternoon at the outdoor exercises. Paul Radenhausen, chairman of building committee, acted as master of ceremonies and aided the pastor, the Rev.

Dr. Henry J. -Wahl in the relaying of the corner-stone. Prior to the outdoor exercises, religious services were held In church auditorium. The Rev.

A. E. Roraback, of the Church of the Evangel; Rev. Lester Conrow, of the Grace Reformed Church and Dr. Daughtry participated.

There was special music by Mr. Jessie Bowdlsh, organist; the Temple Quartet, comprising Minna Fllsow, Robertlna Robertson, William Shoenmann, Fred H. Taggart and by the Instrumental quartet from the Ottilia Orphan Home. Appraiser Kracke in his talk paid a high tribute of respect and esteem to 88-year-old Gottholt Oberglock, oldest member of the congregation In point of years, and a charter member, who sat upon the platform. He spoke of the wonders of the age that have transpired since the church was first organized.

Judge Doughty In his splendid talk declared that the corner-stone is "not an Inert mass, but a living root," while Judge Steers spoke of the advance of Flatbush along religious lines. The Rev. Herman W. Schulz, pastor of Christ Evangelical Church, pronounced the benediction. Mrs.

He saw the designs of the four gates during a visit to the Botar.lc Garden and offered to provide funds for one of them. It is the policy of the Garden to have designs for ell Its projected Improvements always ready for possible use. The practicability of this policy was demonstrated last year, when Mr. and Mrs. Walter Cranford, who had seen a design of the proposed Rose Garden, offered to provide the funds for its erection.

Other needs of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden are only waiting the kindness of Brooklyn residents Among these are the other three gates to the garden, one at Washington avenue, one at South Washington avenue and one at Eastern -parkway. Also a fountain for the conservatory plaza and garden seats, all of these have been designed and are awaiting funds for their comple tion. It was largely owing to Mr. Young that the area comprising the Botanic Garden was saved during his ad ministration from being occupied by buildings. Dr.

Gager explained. At that time the Botanic Garden which was first laid out as Institute Park, was thrown open and there was a public celebration. During Mr. Young's sdmlnlstra tlon as Park Commissioner, the beautiful archway at the Lincoln road entrance to Prospect Park and the Greek pergola In the park situated at the approach to the parade grounds were designed and constructed. Dr.

Gager said. Knickerbocker Field Club Annual Rose Dance Annual rose dance of Knickerbocker Field Club was held on Wednesday evening of last week on the wide tennis court on the side of the house on Tennis court. The lawn was covered with canvass, and the band was stationed on the porch, so that dancing could be carried on inside as well as outside of the house. The rose bushes all around the court were In full bloom, and gave forth their choicest fragrance, while the moon was kind enough to shed a little light on the scene. And, In addition to the moonlight and the stars, myriads of electric lights were stretched from one side of the court to the other, making the effect a gay one.

Over 800 people were present, and the pastel colored crepe de chene, and flowered chiffons of the women were a picturesque feature. The men equally wore white flannel or duck while the porch was crowded with elderly people, who looted on at the pretty scene. The night was cool, the shower of the afternoon taking away the fierceness of the heat, and many of those present felt that It was the farewell of the season and a most delightful occasion. Juston Lawrle gave several vocal solos, singing from the porch, and the dancing was kept up until a late hour. The entertainment committee, headed by Mr.

and Mrs. Fred M. Lambert, consisted of Mr. and Mrs. R.

Doughty Was named as candidate for Municipal Court in the new Sixth Municipal Court District; George W. university teacher of government; for Assembly, and David L. Klein, lawyer, was named for Aldermanlo honors. A strong sentiment in favor of Supreme Court Justice Harry E. Lewis, as the Republican or Fusion candidate for Mayor, was manifested.

As it has not been definitely decided upon as to the ratio of district representation iii'the unofficial city-wide convention to be called to select the city ticket, no delegates could be elected at the meeting.

Stories Baby Escapes Death What doctors consider a miracle was the escape from death of An-gollne DIMattla, 3 year old daughter of Mr. and DIMattla of 414 South 4th street, who June 18 fell five stories and escaped Injury except for a few scratches and a slight contusion.

Little Angellne had been left In the custody of the family domestic at 138 8choles street. She was playing In the kitchen with her toys when the domestic went downstairs to the street, to purchase something. The child toddled over to the closed window and slowly opened It. She climbed upon the sill while several people In the street below were motioning her to go back. Several ran upstairs, but before they could reach the fifth floor, Angellne plunged down the five stories.

Luckily the baby's dress caught on a sign on the first floor, breaking the fall. She was quickly rescued and rushed to St. Catherine's Hospital, suffering from several scratches. Tuesday Angellne returned home to her parents. The child, Dr.

Jennings says, will suffer no permanent Injury and that It Is really miraculous she escaped mortal injury.

Flatbush-Canarsie Bus Line Proposed New Ornamental Gate For Botanic Garden Flatbush Square section of Flat-lands faces a rather peculiar difficulty in regard to its sewage problem, according to the rather discouraging word brought to the officers and members of the Flatbush Square Clvlo Association at their monthly meeting held In the auditorium of Public School 203, Avenue and East 61st street, on Wednesday eve ning. Engineer John C.

Rledel of the Bureau of Sewers brought the news. Although the situation Is by no means Insurmountable in the minds of the property owners. It Is con sidered somewhat unfair and further steps will be taken to bring about a solution. It appears that part of Flatlands is located In three entirely different sewer areas. The section to the north of Avenue and East -of Utlca avenue la favorably located for sewer Improvements and much is and wllj, be done there.

In the sector to the south, a period of at least three years will elapse before any great amount of sewage relief will be forthcoming, while In that territory lying to the east of Utlca avenue, where the vat majority of the men and women property owners present at Wednesday's meeting reside and own their homes, little can be promised. Engineer Rledel pointed out that 3 NEW PARISH HOUSE FOR CENTRAL CHURCH A congregational meeting was held on Wednesday night, June 26, In the parlor of Central Presbyterian Church and was voted to build a new modern parish building with all recreational and educational facilities not to cost over 8100,000.
