Wading River Horticulturist Footnotes to L I. History: By Thomas R. Bay les Wading River is on the Sound about 70 miles from New York and was the terminal of the Wad- ing River branch of the Long Is- land Rail Road , which was ex- tended from Port Jeff erson in 1895. Ralp h I' etcrs . president of the railroad, established a large farm here , and Hal B. Fullerton , agricultural promotor for the rail- road, started an experimental farm at this p lace. Wading River has some of the most beauti ful scenery to be found anywhere on the north side of the Island. The following account of Elihu S. Miller , a prominent, horticul- turist of the village , appeared in the Brooklyn Dail y Eag le August 15 , 1908 : \In Wading River dwells Elihu S. Miller , the man who some years ago collected the valuable and famous herbarium representing the flora of Long Island , and who has lately disposed of it to the Brooklyn Society of Arts and Sciences. \The herbarium contains about 4 , 000 species of p lant life , all of them habitues of Suffolk Count y. There are between five and six thousand specimens , from oaks, acorns, fruits, maples , down to the wild flowers and ferns. AU the specimens were collected within a radius of 15 miles of this place. They were all carefull y selected , preserved , mounted on cards , and each given the botanical name as well as the more ordinary name by which they are known in the <J>j ountry. It is the only comp lete herbarium of the Island ever pre- served , and is hi ghl y valuable. Many of the specimens in it are not now to be found on the Is- land , having been crowded oui. by the march of civilization. \Mr. Miller was born in Wading Rive r in the charming old fashion- ed house where he now resides , which was built before 1800. In his very earl y life he was an en- thusiastic amateur botanist , and as he grew older decided to take up the study of botany, and when he went to the Williston Seminary in Massachuseds , took up special studies and courses in his hobb y. Later , when he returned to Wad- ing River , he began the assemb- ling of the botanical collection we have described. He collected many more specimens than are contained in the herbarium presented to the Brookl yn Society, for he after- ward presented his alma mater with a collection of 2 , 000 speci- mens. \Mr. Miller ' s charming home savors of an honored age , and is surrounded by immense , statel y old oaks and other trees. The pi*o- prietor of this deli g htfu l country retreat is a quiet , dignified , un- assuming, yet hospitable man. He is in perfect accord with the peacefu l surroundings, and Mrs. Miller bears the same stamp of estimable and courteous affabilit y, making one at home in a way so well remembered of the old fash- ioned woman. Mr. Miller ' s estate of 50 acres contains everything to gladden the heart of the rural en- thusiast. '\Professionally he is a florist seedsman , working under contract with some of the largest seed and bulb houses. For several years he lived at Floral Park , where he was emp loyed by John Lewis Childs. \Mr. Miller loves his flowers as a man loves his child . He sees better things in them than simpl y commercial returns , and , tended by his loving hands , they do his bid- ding in a way that is almost hu- man. Here are acres of g ladioli and rare Japanese lilies and other flowers ; in another locality is an apple , pear and p lum orchard , and another large tract is devoted to grapes , melons , and other fruits which he exhibits at the count y fair at Riverhead every year and captui'es many first prizes , espec- ially for the many varieties of grapes that he always presents. Ihe highways of Wading River are a twisting, turning sort , full of delightfu l surprises as to scenic beauty, making driving conditions over very good roads , one con- tinual delight from beginning to end. The inhabitants of this vil- lage , so differen t from many other places on Long Island , have had the good sense not to destroy the town ' s quaint , rustic beauty. For this reason , if for no other , the place is getting better known each year as a delightful spot to while away a few weeks , ' right next to real nature ' the article concluded. • PLUMBING • HEATING • WELL DRILLING Letters Wenner Famil y Gives Thanks Editor , The Long Island Advance : On behalf of my husband and children and others of our famil y, I would like to express our heart- felt thanks to all who participated in the search last Tuesday, June 20 , for our little son , Matthew John. We can 't describe what a great effort was made to find our little lost boy. The woods around us are so thick that all the searchers must have suffered from sci'atches , torn clothing and near exhaustion. Enough can 't be said for the won- derful organization b y the Police department and we are justl y proud of all the organizations represented. To all these—police , firemen , sheriff' s men , state conservation men , Boy Scouts , nei g hbors and other volunteers , and those that prayed for his safe return—we ask God to bless you all. Thank you. Martha J. Wenner Middle Island , June 23 , 1961. Interesting? Actuall y Exciting ! 50 Years Ago , June 30 , 1911 NOTES FROM THE 50 YEAR AGO FILES Editor , The Long Island Advance : Eastport-The Eastport Inn and the Lakeview have a few board- ers. Both houses will use and feed you well. Life in East port 50 years ago must have been quite interesting. Mrs. George G. Parker Patchogue , June 23 , 1961 Inarticulate Editorial ? Editor , The Long Island Advance: In reference to your editorial , June 8 , \Aged Driver Problem \ : What society are you referring to ? Are there not many persons today over 65? Do they have the fri ghtful accidents ? Your article is inarticulate. You are trying to lay down laws that you had better stay clear of. Insurance com- panies are probabl y more qualified to know who the dangerous citi- zens are . Never mind the system until you are cleared in your own thoughts what it is you want to say. If you have an idea worthwhile , fine , but do not shill y shall y saying nothing but creating fear in all of us over 65. Should not your article be \The Young Driver Problem , \ for there lies the dan - ger. We have all been young and the young shall be aged someday. \C' est la vie , \ that is life and it has been going on for some time and there need not be any thing drastic done. Onl y wanted you to know what a 73 year old person feels on the matter. Before you put your- self up to be a judge get more clarit y, either be or not be for an idea. Amelia H. Dalmus Patchogue , June 17 , 1961 Scores the Sportswriters Editor , The Long Island Advance : I take offense to the opinions and remark s of our sportswriters and reporters in calling the Italian prizefighter , \Giulio ' Rinaldi\ a raw , green street fig hter and that he is a poor examp le of a Roman gladiator. This is in reference to his figh t with Archie Moore. At least he did try his best. It seems now and as in the past that this is the usual biased way of our sportswriters of reporting on an international match between an American and a fighter from outside of the U. S. I wonder if these sportswriters know what true sportsmanship is? I say they don 't. Walter Farrar New York City, June 23 , 1961. If it' s news — you 'll find it in The Advance. —Adv.

'lection in i?7\- to the Brookhaven Town Eoa ivl , I have been constantly seeking a way to talk with as many ol tli e residents as possible. It is indeed gicitify- ing, therefore. That The Long Ad- vance is affor.l'uvr me , via this column , the nppudmiky to speak to you. While I' m no giv. it hand at writing and certainly have ,ii as- pii'ations to bacome another Wal- ter Lippman , 1 shall do my best in my own fashion to comment on dems I feel arc Important to y- . -u. So , here poos : Government-wise , the T own Board meets \veekly on Tue sday with both daily session ; and even- ing hearings. This , however , is only a small phase oi a cwincu- man ' s duties. T , for example , have been assigned by Supervisor Stout to numerous eommil .te.i s which re- quire my daily supervision and at- tention . I plan to report here on the progress r.nti de ' ails of my work on these various projects. Naturally, I shall sincerely wel- come your comments , criticisms and suggestions. In thi ; regard I most earnestly solicit youi aid ; - \ or by diverse , sensible opinions , we all learn and can benefit. In this fastest g vowing area in Suffolk County, we are daily pre- sented with new and serious prob- lems. If we are to enjoy a normal and healthy growth , it will take our combined efforrs , working to- gether , to achieve this goal. In closing this, my first column , let me remind you that during the Summer months , many thou- sands of visitors come into Brook- haven to enjoy our abundant recre- ational facilities. Let us make them welcome and urge them to share our advantages. Our friend- liness will enhance the stature of the largest first class town in the United States! That' s it for a starter—again , my thanks to Captain Tuthill and the staff of the Long Island Ad- vance for their excellent public re- lations policy in making this col- umn possible , and for the couitesy and cooperation they have extend- ed to me, as a town councilman. Hilding Palmquist Save s Shetland Pony In Blue Point Swamp A Shetland pony was saved from sinking farther into a swanpy area last Thursday morning by Hilding L. Palmquist of 24 Nor- wood Drive , Blue Point , according to reports of the Fifth Precinct , Suffolk Count y Police. Patrolman Henry Brechter said Mr. Palmquist had gone into the swamp east of his home in hig h boots and pulled the three-year- old brown and white pony from the mud. The Palmquists ' were made aware of the presence of the pony by the barking of their) Ger- man shep herd dog, Lady. The pony, named Candy, was claimed the same day by the own- er , Richard Kinsey of 80 South Fairview Avenue , Bayport. He said the pony had broken away in Bay- port and apparently travelled along the railroad tracks for an approximate distance of 10 miles before becoming mired in the swampy area. County Exec Speaks By H. Lee Dennison Sufi oik County Executive Figures released recently by the State Comptroller show that Suf- folk Count y had the second hig hest per capita school district bonded indebtedness in the state for 1959. It amounts to $262 per resident. This was a percentage increase over 1949 of 709.4 per- cent , the 15th hi g hest increase in the state. These staggering costs stem out of the almost overwhelming popu- lation increases in Sufiolk throughout the past decade , and reflect all too clearl y again the failures of past administrations in adequate p lanning and zoning to meet the situ ation. The approxi- mate indebtedness of $200 million for new school buildings repre- sents only a part of the relative cost problem. New population densities re- quire p lanning not only for new school buildings but also for new hig hway patterns , public sewage disposal , fresh water supp ly, pub- lic park areas , public health , pub- lic welfare , police and many other things connected with new and rapid growth . These are some of the problems we are now burning the midnig ht oil trying to catch up with , and the cost of meeting them must also be considered along with the cost of new schools. In the meantime our County Advisory Commission on Educa- tion has been studying the matter of education costs for many months , including research for closed-circuit television teaching toward reduction of costs. Our recently-announced survey of local government operation s will also include school district data to provide an overall pattern of the situation as related to the general county economy.
