Summer Time in Rhyme

Great Neck has a rife club; Bellport
plays golf. a sport at which, really, no
Town will scott. For yachting, Sag
Harbor and Patchogue do pine; to
tennis, Smithtown and Long Beach in
cline. Sea Clif, Port Washington, on
the north shore, are busy at service
work, going in for things that help
Uncle Sam in time of need, while ia
maica and Flushing do great work in
deed. At Hampstead, there's polo; the
flying machine on Mineola's field is
daily seen. Amityville has rifle club
too. The Hamptons considerable gar
dening do. Then Syosset, Westbury,
Locust Valley, around Red Cross head
quarters generally rally; while HICKS
ville's the cook of Long Island to-day,
and shows how 70 can in most per-
feet way. Way down in the corner,
where the Rockaways are, sea bathing,
of all outdoor sports, is the star.
Northport, Roslyn and Manhasset
thrill whenever they see the home
guard at drill. At Bayside, Jericho and
other towns near, ITO arms with the
hoe is the call that you hear. Long
Islands at play, but no one will shlrk
giving time and service for war relief
work.
The cottage life at the various
places on the north shore and Great
Neck and South Bay shows a greater
activity than during the last month. AT
Bellport most of the houses are open
for the season Mrs. Frederick Edey,
whose activities add so much 10 the So
cial life of that attractive seashore
town. is occupying her home there.
Among the Bellport devotees who ex-
pect TO join the summer colony this
month are Judge and Mrs. L. H. Gar
win, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Martin Dor
sey and Mrs. Horatio Gray and family.
Mrs. Gray is one Of the older residents
of Bellport who think that war condi-
tions will not interfere with the sum-
mer season, and that there, as else
where. much interest will centre around
work FOR Uncle Sam.
Bellport's New Golf Course
COZ course. the new golf course is
the centre Of interest at present Mrs.
Gray remarked when speaking of Bell
port. con my several trips there this
spring ! noticed that the work on 1t
was progressing rapidly. When COM
pleted IL will be a much-needed ad-
dition TO the town, for the present
links, located in the heart OF Bell
port, has been inadequate in size
for some years past. Our new
course will be regulation size, eighteen
holes, but only nine will be COM
pleted for use this summer. To my
mina, the season promises to be one
OF greater activity than usual. ! think
the residents Of Bellport will enjoy the
usual informal social life. and the
sound Of battle will be a very dim one
excepting in the time devoted 10 war
relief work
West Hampton and Long Beach are
two other popular resorts which will
have new golf links this summer. The
Long Beach Defence Guards is a new
organization, which is being literally
supported by the residents. The mem
beers of the guard will wear the regu-
lation uniform and will have lessons
in the use Of firearms from expert in
structors.
From north 70 south and east TO west
on Long Island Red Cross chapters are
being formed. When motoring in the
out-of-the-way places a district school
- often passed, and over the door IS
the emblem Of service 20 the country.
Long Islanders have rallied TO the col
