residents are not apprehensive OF pos

resident of Neponset remarked:
"U-boatsl Why worry? ! can only
die once" If the crowds on Memorial
Day are an example of the prospect OF
the season, the hotel managers need
fear no i'll effects from the present
situation. In fact. II seems that, as q
playground and resident section, Long
Island grows more popular each year.
This season is not an exception 10 the
rule. for it has been selected as the
site of the new Engineers Country
Club. which will be formally opened on
the Fourth of July. Located on the
north shore between Roslyn and Glen
Head, the new club will be one OF the
finest of the many adjacent to IT.
Engineers Country Club
The birth Of the Engineers Country
Club was due to necessity. knowing
the popularity of the various clubs on
Long Island and the consequent waiting
list of each one, and the need that the
resident and visiting engineers or New
York City had for a recreation centre,
group Of the members OF the IN
gineers' Golf Club conceived the idea
Of having a place of their own, the
membership list being composed OF men
Of the profession from which the club
derives its name. The thought was
father 20 the action. In consequence,
one Of the most unusual clubs on Long
Island was organized. After due con-
sideration, the committee selected the
north shore as an ideal location, full
filing the object Of country life within
hailing distance of the city's busy mart.
The clubhouse and grounds com
prise the Willetts manor house and
the Duryea and Powell farms. The
manor house fronts on Hampstead Har-
Dor, and will be used as the main
building. When speaking Of the OBJ
ject Of the Engineers Country Club,
