Greene was authorized by the East Hampton Town Board, at their reg ular meeting on Monday, to purchase a new tractor, if and when necessary, at a cost not to exceed $3,000.

The bqgrrt^re-agpointed Morton H. Pennypacker **as official Town" Histor ian. Supervisor Duryea told the plans Mr. Pennypacker has for a water pa geant to be held on Long Island Sound as part of the Long Island Tercenten ary Celebration, to be held this sum mer. Mr. Duryea reported to the Board on the completion of the planting of 5,000,000 flounder fry in the waters of the Township by the United States Government Fish Hatcheries, of Woods Hole, Mass. The Board completed its session by auditing bills; accepting the regular monthly report of Miss Georgia Par ke;-, the Town Nurse; and authorizing the erection of an additional street light at the Montauk Fishing Village. According to the New York papers, the suit brought by Robert David I Lion Gardiner to break the will of his great-aunt, Miss Mary G. Thompson, was settled out of court after it came up on Monday of last week before Sur rogate Delehanty, in New York. The amount of settlement was not revealed. Six institutions inherited the major share of Miss Thompson’s fortune, said to be $15,500,000. The settlement was revealed after Surrogate Delehanty had adjourned hearing on Gardiner's suit to break the will. The court directed Max D. Steur, attorney for the plaintiff, to submit by 6 p. m., an affidavit proving the case had merit. No affidavit was submitted because the settlement had been reached by that time. Gardiner, a 20-year-old law stu- law student, of 812 Park avenue. New York, charged undue influence had been exerted upon Miss Thompson, who died at the age of 93. The greater part of the will, he contended, was drawn up befoi*£ ne was born, and he was mentioned only in a codicil giving him half the income of a trust fund of $200,000, half the family heirlooms and an outright bequest of $50,000.

Angus Fletcher Speaks At Ramblers’ Meeting The Ramblers enjoyed a talk on in- i ternational relations by Angus Flet- cher of New York and Fireplace, on Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. E. T. Dayton on Woods lane. Mrs. Henry J. Rees assisted Mrs. Dayton in entertaining; Mrs. Frederick K. Rus sell and Mrs. Leon Q. Brooks were the evening's program committee, Mrs. Russell introducing the speaker. Mr. Fletcher, who commutes daily between his home at Fireplace and his office at the British Library of Infor mation, New York, prefaced his talk by remarks on Kipling, whose fond ness for Sussex Downs Mr. Fletcher shares; and on Pickwick Papers, which, Mr. Fletcher says, he keeps in his pocket to read on the train each day after finishing the morning papers. A bit of Dickens puts him in good hu mor for the day's work, he said. The New York Times, he considers, is the best paper in the world for accurate reporting of international affairs; even better than the London Times, which has the world’s largest circulation for a daily paper. He also said some very kind things about the East Hampton Star, which he reads weekly from cover to cover. Mr. Fletcher’s talk on world af fairs was clear, very impartial, and charmingly given; everyone enjoyed it enormously. Questions were asked afterward; particularly concerning the method of administering relief in Eng land. Mr. Fletcher compared the sys tems in our country and in England. Over there, he said, expenses are cut by voluntary workers, who consider it a matter of honor to serve their coun try in that way. Roll call was answered by Irish stories, and refreshments were in green and white, in honor of St. Pat rick’s Day. The next meeting, on March* 31, will be held at the home of Mrs. Everett J. Edwards on David lane. The topic will be books; Mrs. Frank Stratton and Mrs. Edward S. Boughton are the evening’s program committee. Roll call will be answered by mentioning a new book read. Phillip S. Taber of Orient, Dies Suddenly When two gypsy women entered the Royal Scarlet Store in Amagansett on Tuesday, they were treated like cus tomers. instead of Gypsies, and per mitted to remain in the store, with the I result that Thomas Lawler, in charge | of the meat department, found that j it cost him $20 to have one of the gyp sy women “tell his fortune.” From now I on it is likely that open season on gyp sies will prevail around this section of | Long Island. I One of women walked to the gro cery counter and talked to Edward j Hoyt, while the other engaged Mr. Lawfler in conversation. Offering to tell his fortune she asked that he hold a coin in his hand. After various phases of hocus-pocus the “fortune telling" reached the point where the cash register had opened wide enough to permit the Gypsy to reach in with her hand and playfully extract a hand ful of bills. She promptly dropped the money back in the cash register and the fortune telling proceeded. When the Gypsies left the store they | entered a large black Lincoln sedan i with Pennsylvania license plates, j They started towards Montauk. Hoyt | and Lawler then commenced to won- 1der if they still had the store intact, | and when Lawler checked over his I cash drawer he found that two $10 I bills had vanished, j Believing that the Gypsies had driv- j en to Montauk a call was put in for j Corporal William Brockman of the | State Police. Town Officer Harry i Steele and Investigator John P. Jen sen of the district attorney’s office I were called in and a county-wide I alarm sent out. The Gypsy sedan had apparently cut through the back woods and gone west, for several hours later I they were apprehended at Port Jef ferson and brought to Riverhead. From there Steele and Jensen returned them to East Hampton. The Gypsy returned the $20 to Law ler, and before Justice of the Peace William H. Strong, the woman, who gave the name of Sophia Miller, was given a six m onks’ suspended jail sentence, and told to keep out of East Hampton. Railroad Fish Train Special Starts April 19 The first L.

COAST GUARD FROM BELOW HAS MANY MEN MASON-DIXON LINE By GEORGE C. KIERNAN [Continued from last week's Star] “The type of men in the Coast Guard today differs in many respects from the type of men who were in the service before the World War," re marked Chief Boatswain’s Mate War ren Barnes, officer in charge of the Amagansett Coast Guard Station, as we talked with one another in his office a week ago Sunday afternoon. “When I first entered the service.” continued Captain Barnes, who has served 26 years with the Coast Guard, “the men whiled away their leisure time in many, and varied, useful pur suits. Some made their own shoes, many devoted themselves to wood carving. Practically all of the men did their own washing. Today the married men have their laundry done at home and the single men patronize the commercial laundries. Their spare time is occupied almost entirely by writing letters, talking, listening to a radio, or reading the daily papers.” ‘‘Until after the War," Captain noon in the Moran Gallery at Guild Hall.
