The Yaphank Presbyterian Church Footnotes to L I. History: By Thomas lt. Ba\k*s Yaphank was called Millville in the early years on account of sev- eial milis located on the Connecti- cut River , or Carman ' s River , as it is now- known. The Ind'an name Yaphank , was given to the local- ity in 1 845. when a post office was first established here with Robert H. Geiard as postmaster. The peop le in this settlement at- tended church at the Middle Island Presb y tenan church , which was built in 1 7(5(1 under the leadership of tho Rev. David Rose. wilt was pastor of the South Haven church. He continued as pastor of the two churches unnl his death in 1799 and Millville , or Yaphank , was known as the \River District\ of the pansh of the Middle Island church. \Priest Rose , \ as he was call- ed , was an interesting* figure as he covered his large parishes on hoisebaek , and combin e d the three most prized functions of that day, pieacher . doctor and teacher. He also conducted a farm at Ins home in South Haven , and the ear marks of his cattle are recorded in the town clerk' s office at Patchogue. He was also active in the revo- lution and served in the army un- dei Col. Johiah Smith, and foug-ht in the battle of Long Island in Brooklvn in August 1776. A \ monthly concert\ was held in the \River District\ (Yap hank , in 1841) and as the settlement grew the need for a church nearer than Middle Island was felt , so in 1851 , two subscri ption lists were circulated and $1 , 100 raised to- wards a building fund. Six trus- tees were elected and one acre of ground was purchased for $50 from James H. Weeks on March 31 , 1851. Soon after , a contract was executed with Charles Wood- hull of Sayville to build the church building for $1 , 066 and this chuich is still in use. The new church was dedicated on Christmas day 1851 by the Rev. Ezra King, a former pastor of the Middle Island and South Haven churches from 1810 to 1844 and the Rev. Winthrop Bailey, pas- tor of the Middle Island church at that time. The new church was governed by the session of the Middle Island church , with a separate board of trustees. Services were held every other Sunday afternoon by the minister from Middle Island. In the early part of 1871 a movement was started to have the Yaphank church organized as a separate church , and this was done on October 18 , 1871 , by the Long* Island Presb ytery. Sixt y nn mbers of the Middj l e Island church formed the newl y organized Yaphank church. The two churches have been ser- ved by the same pastors fci much of the time throug h the years , al- though the Yaphank churc h has had a separate pastor some of the time. An item of interest during the Civil War is a letter dated Au- gust 5 , 1863 , to Mrs. William Sidney Smith of Longwood , (north of Yap hank) from the Woman ' s Relief Association , a branch of the U.S. Sanitary Comimission , which was the forerunner of the Ameri- YAPHANK CHURCH — Yaphank Presbyterian Church , shown above , was dedicated Christmas day in 1851 by the Rev . Ezra King, former pastor of Middle Island and South Haven Churches from 1810 to 1844 and the Rev. Winthrop Bailey, pastor of Middle Island Church at the time. In 1871 , Yap hank Church was organized as separate church by Long Island Presbytery. can Red Cross. This letter thanked the ladies of Yaphank and Middle Island for supplies sent , and we quote a part. \The fruit jellies etc. will be particularly accept- able now that the severe heat of the weather must so greatly au- gment the suffering of our wound- ed soldiers , who truly claim all the aid and sympath y we can g ive them while they pay the penalty of their bravery in our behalf. \ The 100 anniversary service of the building of the church was held in the churc h on December 23 , 1951 , and among those pre- sent was the mother of the writer , Mrs. Richard M. Bayles , who was a grandaughter of the Rev. Ezra King, w r ho conducted the dedica- tion service 100 years before. Many improvements hav e been made in the church during recent years and the adjoining manse has been completely remodeled inside. At the present time the church is active and growing under tho leadership of the Rev . Ricard Ploth , the pastor. For your best source of infor- mation locally, read The Advance each week. — Adv.

New York Telephone f£% Part of the nationwide Bell Telephone System x^j^ Farmers Back Nat 'l Marketing Quota Program Potato growers from 14 Eastern Seaboard states , meeting Tuesday j i ia~l weeK .n Har.ioburg . Pa, registered unanimous approval of a national marketing quota pro- gram desifned to bring produc- t.on in line with consumption and v ert the guit condit.ons w hich this year have driven farm prices aown to tne dollar-a-hundred weight level. Advanced by North Carolina producers through their state ag- ricultural commissioner, L. Y. Bal- iantine , the plan was approved in broad outline , it was reported by Long Island growers attending the meeting. The job of drafting a program acceptable to the grow- ers of the nation , the U.S. De- partment of Agriculture and prob- ably to Congress was left witn a special study committee of 21 members , one of whom is Nathan- iel A. Talmage of Riverhead. The 113 spudmen present ruled out price supports and subsidies in calling for government-power- ed machinery to hold production within reasonable bounds. If de- clared by the Secretary of Agri- culture prior to September 1 and approved by two-thirds of the growers voting in a referendum , the quota would apply to the next year' s production. It would be ap- portioned among states , counties and individual farms on the basis of past marketings , production , acreage , storage capacity, labor and other factors. It is probable farm marketing quotas would be converted into acreage allotments. Production on acreage planted in excess of an allotment would be subject to sev- ere monetary penalties unless dis- posed of outside normal trade channels under the supervision of the secretary. Should the crop be small , the quotas could be increas- ed or even terminated. The committee , headed by John Broome , executive secretary of the North Carolina Potato Growers Association , is expected to have a bill ready for review by the mem- bership of the National Potato Council at its annual meeting in Washing ton November 13-15. If it meets with the approval of this nation-wide organization of pota- to growers , it will then go to the Department of Agriculture and may land in the hopper at the next session of Congress. The National Potato Council is also scheduled to review a numb- er of other schemes to prevent re- current surpluses and ruinous pri- ces. These include national and re- gional marketing agreements. Long Island was accorded the status of a state at the Harris- burg conference , as \was upstate New York. Other states represent- ed were Maine , New Hampshire , Connecticut , Rhode Island , Massa- chusetts , New Jersey, Pennsyl- vania , Mary land , Virginia , Dela- ware , Florida and North Carolina. The third largest group attend- ing the Island delegration was made up of the following : N. A. Talmage , Herbert Smith. William Nowaski , Edwin Kopcienski , Wil- liam Zen , Fedris Talmage , John Neylon , Jay Hulse , Cyril Wolfor- st , Kenneth Tuthill , Elmer Math- er , A. C. Carpenter , Sr., A. C. Carpenter , Jr., Leon Atkinson , Kenneth Wells and Daniel Fricke.
