The Way It Was...Twenty-Five Years Ago . . . . 1942

From The Star, Aug. 6, 1942

Mrs Howard Morris, president of

the Ladies' V illage Im provem ent

Society, and Mrs. Edw ard Ewen

Anderson, its president - elect and

general cha irm an for last F r iday '6 Fair, feel that receipts w ill be well

over $4,000. Complete reports w ill

be made later.

From Looking Them Over: In re­

ference to our recent note about the

Japanese beetles attacking a Chinese

elm on M iddle Lane, East H ampton,

Mrs. M ary M. Corney says: "Please

tell your correspondent that the

Japanese beetles m ay w ar on his

China elm tree, bu t they have not

discrim inated against our Japanese

walnut, -which they are devouring."

summonses to a ll motorists w ho do

not drive w ith d im m ed lights.

F rom Ask the Scientist: In the last

war, combatants often used v ile

sm elling chemicals such as synthetic

skunk odor which, a lthough h arm ­

less in themselves, kept the soldiers

in gas masks because they could

never tell when they would be m ixed

w ith poison gases, and a small

am oun t of them went a long way.

Amagansett: Miss Constance C o l­

lier is v isiting Miss Doris Keane, who

is occupying Miss Helen Seam an’s

cottage on M arine Boulevard. Both

M iss Collier and M iss Keane are

noted members of the theatrical

world.

The 1917 Carniva l at B ridgeham p­

ton w ill be held Aug. 7 to 11, five

big days of fun. Mazzeo's Band of

Sag H arbor has been engaged to

furnish the music for the entire five

days and they need no introduction

to the people of th is v ic in ity .

Advt: The Spaniards have a say­

ing: ‘‘He who steads near a tree finds

good shade.” O ur people also have

a saying: “He w ho has an account

at the Osborne Bank has good ser­

vice.”

S ix ty years ago he m arried Sarah

Frances Loper, daughter of Henry

Loper of Amagansett, and by her

had three sons. He served four years

in the C iv il W ar and 32 years in

the life saving service. Besides his

w ife, he is survived by his sons.

Henry Dean Lester, O rrie A . Lester

and D av id A . Lester, and five grand­

Seventy-Five Years Ago . . . . 1892From The Star. Ju ly 29. 1892

There has been a great deal of

speculation on the possible effect of

the shooting of Henry C lay Fr ick on

the m anagement of the Carnegie

Com pany as well as upon the H om e­

stead and other strikes. In th is con­

nection a gentleman, w ho knows

whereof he speaks, said this m orn­

ing:

“So long as Mr. Frick retains pos­

session of his faculties there w ill be

no necessity for a temporary cha ir­

man, or even a vice chairm an, to

assume control. Mr. Frick, on his

back today, is the same Mr. Frick

that sat in his revolving chair, in

his office Saturday morning.

“Every detail of every section of

the gigantic interests” under his care

are at his fingers’ ends, and the

corporation w ill be run from his

sick room w ith the same unerring

judgm ent, the same instantaneous

grasp of the situation, the same

autocracy tha t has always d is tin ­

guished h im .

“This was evidenced Saturday by

his p luck in insisting tha t the sur­

geons should stop probing for the

bullets in order tha t he m igh t ap ­

pend his signature to im portant

documents, as w ell as by his action

in calling a ll the head men into

h is office to give them instructions.’’

More from “Sum m ering a t A m a ­

gansett,” a poem by W alter Pelham :

“The one blot on this pretty place,

which ladies dread to view . Is the

large store where men at eve, lounge,

smoke, and sp it and chew. They

decorate w ith bounteous squirts, the

space for yards around; and woe

betide that pretty gown that haps

to touch the ground.”

The largest bung factory in the

United States is located at Elizabeth,

W . Va.

Southold: M r. Selleck, w ho was so

badly hu rt by an in furia ted cow, is

reported convalescing.

Senator H ill of N ew Y ork has left

W ashington, it is said for the re­

m ainder of the session, and there

are m any w ho believe that he w ill

never again occupy his seat in the

Senate.
