Smith of Amity Street who were the guests of' honor at a family party given by their daughter and son-in- law , Mr. and Mrs. R. C, Thomas of Amity Street. About a dozen people were present. .The couple were mar- ried at Riverhead on November 7 , 18G3 , Mr. Smith now being 85 years old and Mrs. Smith 82. Mr. Smith js best known as one of the veteran boat builders of Long Island and his shop on the river near Bailey ' s mill has turned out some of the finest racing craft in the world. He is generally acknowl edged as an authority on Long Island boats. At the time of their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Smith were living in Good Ground where he ' had a shop, and where - he gained his first fame as a boatbuilder before they moved here 52 years ago. Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith are mem- bers of old families that played a prominent part in the earl y develop- ment of the Island. The history of the family dates back to the time when 13 settlers from Connecticut came across to Hallock' s Point at Southold and located , they being among the first white people to pop- ulate the island. Desp ite his advanced years Mr. Smith is stilt active at his yard which he opened in 1882.

Child Dies From Being Scalded by a Pot of Coffee QCALDING by a pot of boiling cof- K J fee which he accidentally upset , _ the contents running over part of his face and down his shoulder and hack yesterday afte rnoon , proved fatal for Anthony Frabizio , two years old , of Yaphank Avenue , East Patchogue. The little lad , who was the son of Mrs. Pasquale ' Frabizio, was seated in a chair near the stove while his five sisters and tia-ee brothers , all older , were eating breakfast. The cof- fee pot was near the edge of the stove. IVhile eating their breakfast the family was suddenly disturbed by the screams of the . child, who had been - amusing himself in his highchair. Loolcing^over they saw their brother helpless as the contents of the upset coffee pot were , running over him. The steaming liquid inflicted ' terri- ble burn s on his face and underneath his elothes. First aid was given the child but the combination of the burns and at- tendant shock so lowered his infant vitality that he died early in the af- ternoon. His mother is a widow. The funeral will be held tomorrow, morn- ing in the Bellport R. C. Church , the Rev. Aloysius Gillick officiating, with burial in the Catholic cemetqry here.

This will be 80 feet long, frame stucco parish hall' for the church , which is also frame. The situation was a ticklish one for the board hut in view of the ex- tenuating circumstances involved the board felt that It had no other course than to grant permission for tlie erec- tion of the building. It was not grant- ed however until every member of the board had been polled or had voluntarily agreed that the church was justified in having the permit , since it had started on its pl ans pre- vious to the enactment of the new ordinance. The Rev . Herman Zoller, pastor , in introducing the subject , stated that knowledge of the increase in Wea of the fire zone did not come until after the church plans had been drawn. He brought out that he and the archi- tect had made full inquiry of all of the existing restrictions before start- continued on page 3 , this section/ The lack of a public building that could be used for large cenvention pu rposes has lost for Patchogue the annual convention next \ summer of the New .

All the bit- terness and rancor of the most spec- tacular election campaign since Lin- coln opposed Douglas is over. Both Democrats and Republicans must now unite in support of the man who as- sumes the presidential reins on March 4. The election of Herbert Hoover is the best testimonial of the oppor- tunity offered in this country. All that its citizens require is that a man be \ honest, sincere and true to his ideals. He need have neither Width nor family. The door to the White House is open to any American born. The boy born today oi poor Jarents on a Kentucky farm bas the same opportunity as the lad raised in wealth and luxury on Park Avenue ~perhaps a better chance. For our history reveals that only a few of the Presidents of the United States y«e reared in comfortable surround- ings. Say what you will , no one can «e«y that this is the land of oppor- tunit y.

ZONING AUTHORITY TO ADDRESS THE ROUNDERS A fire in a truck of the Metropoli- tan Tobacco Company a few minutes after six o ' clock Tuesday evening caused niore than the usual amount of excitement , as an alarm brought out the, ' entire department. The truck was stored in one of the sheds of the ice company back of Baker Street, The danger of other buildings talcing fire , and the proximity to many homes on Baker Street caused a scare for a few minutes until the blaze was extinguished; The alarm came just at the time the election returns started coming in , with the princi pal streets fairly crowded ,. which added more to the general excitement that was prevailing.
