SECTION OF THE BROOKLYN EAGLE SUNDAY, AUGUST 30, 1942 Dr. Brady says: Vitamin Control Essential in Diets A7 In some instances in the early days or weeks of a reduc tlon regimen, the basal metabolism rate is low, and this, together with the let-down from lack of the accustomed stimulation of overeating, may make the patient so gloomy about the outlook that he or she will break training and go rs vsxi vci vt a. jm Fire Fighters' History Replete With Thrills Reader Comes Across Old Volume Telling Of Deeds by Volunteers and Regulars Editor, Old Timers: about any big fires fought by the The article by Cecil Johnson on volunteers but docs pay them a fine on a gorge or spree of overeating, especially carbohydrates, sweets. This is a problem for the physi cian to deal with, and one way to guard against the patient breaking away from the regular regimen is by seeing to it that the patient re ceives every day from the very be ginning of restricted diet an optimal daily ration of the essential vita mins. Another and still more im portant feature in a successful re duction regimen is to maintain a normal basal metabolism.

According to a careful study made by Dr. Broda Barnes (Jour. A. M. Aug.

With the advent of the paid department the volunteers passed from existence but the memory of their efforts will live forever. Now we come to the commissioners of the paid fire department. There were "three-headed," "four-headed" and finally the "single-headed" commissioners. In 1886 John Ennis was appointed commissioner and was still in office when this book was published. With the advent of the paid department we have the introduction of the horse-drawn apparatus.

This made an epic which was to be filled with thrills. Each time there was a fire the people rushed to the windows to watch the engines go speeding past, drawn by teams of eager horses. Big Fires Listed In 1892 there were ten big fires listed in Brooklyn districts. Among the big fires mentioned by our narrator were the Pratt Oil Works, 1888, Brooklyn Theater; Planet Mills, 1889; a huge fire in a paint works at Sixth St. and Gowanus Canal during the drought caused by the break in the aqueduct at which Engine 4 stretched 4.000 feet of hose from the fireboat Seth Low at Harrison May 9, 1890; the great fire at Harbeck's stores on Furman OLD TIME CUTING Posing for the photographer is a group of Weschler Bros, department store employes in the old days.

Halstead Letters Bergen St. Dairy and Orchard Made Pleasant Summer Fun Julv 26 on the Brooklyn Fire Department in the days of the volunteers was interesting and entertaining. The article appeared almost coincidentally with my acquisition of an old book about the growth of the department from 1536 to 1892.

It was published In 1892 but I am not familiar with the name of the uthor. The introductory page pre-ients this information: 'Our the Official History of the Brooklyn Fire Department from the First Volunteer to the Latest Appointee, Compiled from the Records of the Department. Illustrated with Etched Portraits and Scenes, Brooklyn, N. 1892." Tells of Founding The author tells of the formation of the first volunteer company and it original members. This was the Washington No.

1 as related by Mr. Johnson. It deals further with the formation of other companies as the settlements grew larger. Among the new companies were Neptune Engine No. 2, Franklin No.

3, Eagle No. 4, Protector No. 6, Constitution No. 7, Columbia No. 10.

Protector Engine No. 6 was called Old Bean Soup and has a short story of its own. It was on Jay St. near St. James' Church.

After a fire the members were treated to a regal dinner by a Mrs. Boyd. Principal course In the dinner was Mrs. Boyd's delicious bean soup. Mrs.

Boyd had several sons among the members of Protector No. 6. The fame of No, 6 and the bean soup dinner story spread through the city. Hence the nickname. The story goes on to teil of the formation of hook and ladder companies and the Introduction of the Eastern District or Williamsburg.

It tells also of the subsequent strict rules and regulations by which the volunteers were to be governed. Funds were raised through fines levied on the members. Fines were collected for unclean chimneys.

Recalls First Catholic Church In Williamsburg Questions Posed by Correspondent Are Answered in Letter Editor, Old Timers: With the exception of Jack Leckie, whose "memories" have so often appeared in this Old Timers page, I know of nobody who has a more retentive memory of old landmarks, characters and incidents which occurred in the old North Side than has Dr. James S. Slavin. For years Jim had his office in "Doctors Row" on N. 6th just a few doors away from St.

Vincent de Paul's Academy of hallowed memory. A few years ago he moved to Richmond Hill, where he is now practicing, and his friends will undoubtedly be pleased to know he looks as hale and hearty as he did ten years ago. Nothing pleases him better than to sit down and chat about old times, and should the family forget to procure the Old Timers edition of the Eagle on their way home from mass on Sunday, then woe to the one so neglectful. From his vast storeroom of knowledge I was recently able to obtain information concerning the establishment of the first Catholic church in the Williamsburg section. Because of this I am given an opportunity to answer a former North Sider now lesiding at Lake Placid, N.

who asks (Aug. 9) whether or not any of us are still alive who remember the little Catholic cemetery which was located at N. 8th and 1st Sts. (now Kent. Ave Plenty Are Left Yes, Old Timer, there are plenty left, including myself.

I dare say there's hardly a State lying this side of the Mississippi that can't claim at least one Qf them as a resident. I lived at 78 N. 8th which was on the same block with the cemetery, and while more than 50 years have passed, it seems but only a short time since we youngsters went sleighriding in Winter time over its graves. Nobody ever seemed to be in charge of the place, so we were never disturbed and a happier and merrier crowd couldn't be found elsewhere. At night, however, as darkness set in, it was a different story.

Older folks passed by hurriedly. Younger lads and lassies ran like the wind. On Halloween very few would even venture near the place because of the supposedly weird noises and the "ghosts" which roamed at large. If you were a brave bucko, yod were able to boast of having hurled a rock into the cemetery at night, but you were braver still if you could "cross my heart" and swear you had yelled "raw head and bloody bones." He Dared Ghost Well sir, one night I plucked up enough courage to do that, very thing myself and. so help mc Hannah, as I lit off for home my feet never felt so heavy nor did the distance seem so far.

That night, after sleepless hours, I dreamed the house was full of all making gruesome faces at me and each holding in his bony hand a ROCK. On a signal given by the tallest fellow, the rocks came flying towards me. Not one missed its mark. I lost my bravery that night. In the corner of the cemetery there stood a little frame house in which lived the family of Paddy Burns.

I believe it was demolished the time the bodies were dug up and moved. Next, dnor tn the cemetery was Finken's flat, then came O'Grady's stables, Daly's house and Louis Troester's drug store on the corner. On the opposite corner was Bryne's I tavern, two other houses owned by Renew Memories Of This Old Timer Scenes of 90s and 80s Recalled by Account Of Flatbush Residents Editor, Old Timers: Joseph S. Halstead's Interesting description of old Flatbush brought to my heart many cherished memo-I ries of my girlhood days there. I must admit there were many in- stances that completely had passed from my memory.

I had forgotten so many names. Mr. Halstead, do you recall how closely the Randolphs and Halsteads were associated, from Charlie down? We did not know your sisters Eva and Gussie as as the younger members. Charlie, Steve, Lafe and Jesse were great pals of Fred, Ede, Ida and Lillie and myself. Do you rermember Cclie Cornel? She was quite a musician.

Lived next door to Storys. In the Hulse family there were four girls Lottie, Lizzie, Sally and Dickie. Frank Bollinger had two daughters. Katie married Fred Lake and died young. (Fred belonged to the Melrose Hose Co.) Tne younger girl was Made line.

Recalls the Fiddler I recall the old-fashioned house next to the Bergen homestead. Johnny Kate kept a tavern there. Garvin's house, I believe, came next. Ollie Garvin Mrs. Zabriskie's brother) was run over and killed by a Flatbush Ave.

horse car. I well remember the Jacksons' very lovely family and Lordy Brown. Also Stevens, who played the violin for us to dance at picnics at Phillips Grove. If we hadn't room on the small platform we danced on the dirt. You mentioned the lovely sweet corn and it was sweet; you didn't have to put sugar in the water to cook it you had from Pete Vanderveer's farm.

We also bought corn from Pop Steers on Vernon Ave. and Prospect St. The Old Drugstore I also remember the scales in front of Frank Bollinger's store. Pop Randolph had his grocery there while he was building the brick house where the bank now stands. That was before Frank Bollinger, after Pop Randolph moved from the front store into the feed store.

He rented the front store to William Douglas as a drugstore. Cutler was the chemist. I cannot recall whether Douglas died or sold out to Cutler. After Cutler's death Mrs. Cut ler ran it for a long time.

The First Baptist Church was started in Schoonmaker's Hall, upstairs. The store on the ground floor was kept for public meetings. Next door, in a one-story structure, Mr. Schoonmaker kept a grocery and lived next door with his daughter. M.

J. O. R. MISSED FATHER'S NAME Editor, Old Timers: Being an old-time Eagle reader, I was more than pleased having read about my old home town, the N. 4th Streeters in Aug.

18 paper. However, I was disappointed they hadn mentioned my father's name, B. Hamm, the tailor on 113 N. 4th between Berry St. and Bedford Ave.

He is now 85, retired for several years, but his store is still there. He has a son, Frank, who was in the first World War. I believe a good many 14th Ward men remember him, too. I was surprised no one mentioned Falbush dairy, Mike Corcoran, the Dempseys and the McFaddens, all old timers. Anna and Florence Dcmpsey and Walter, Steve and Agnes McFadden were all playmates ln our school days.

My regards to them all they remember me as LIZZIE HAMM. Editor, Old Timers: About Mr. Totten's letter of Aug. 16, I often played outside the gray walls of the old Kings County penitentiary when I was 8 years old. An old Irish contractor had his yard and trucks and horses across the way.

I cannot recall his name but there were two brothers who always wore red flannel shirts. The name might have been Connelly or Carney. To Carl J. Heyser fAug. 1611 remember the old No.

28 School but I attended St. Benedict's at Fulton St. and Ralph Ave. How well I remember the hill on St. Mark's Ave.

and Rochester. I used to climb the old wooden stairs to the colored church to hear the singing. I knew your granduncle, John Dreyer, very well. We got all our groceries and meat at his store. He had a brother at Bergen St.

and Rochester Ave, who had a dairy farm and apple orchard. I used to another Brynes, thca wwe a small candy store, Parker's house (built in the rear), wfter-ree-ior-alls were held every Saturday night, Steiner's, with their well-kept garden, the O'Grady's, Cassidy's, Gowan's, Dodenhoff's and McGee-han's saloon on the corner. First Mass Celebrated I am certain that Father James J. Reilly, pastor of St. Mary Star of the Sea Church in Brooklyn, could give even more infdftnation about this old landmark because he lived directly opposite it as a boy.

The first mass said in the village of Williamsburg, then known as the Eastern District, was celebrated in a stable on Grand west of 3d (Berry on the south side of the street, the Rev. Father Dougherty of St. Mary's Church, Grand Manhattan, officiating. At that time Brooklyn had not jet become a diocese. The date of this event has not been obtainable out undoubtedly it (occurred in 1839, because shortly after, in the year 1840, old St.

Mary's Church was erected at N. 8th and Kent Ave. It was dedicated on Sunday, June 27, 1840, by Bishop Du Bois. The cemetery was part of the church property. The pastor of this little church was the Rev.

James. O'Donnell, an Augustinian, who lived in the rectory of St. Paul's Church in downtown Brooklyn, and who traveled all that distance minister to the spiritual needs of this little group of Catholics. Population Was 10,000 At that time, the entire section of Williamsburg had a population of 10,000, of which 500 were Catholics. The parish lines covered the area of Haller's Cove on the north, Myrtle Ave.

on the south, the East River on the west, and Middle Village on the eastt In September, 1884, the Rev. Sylvester Malone, at the age of 23, arrived from Trim, County Meath, Ireland, and was immediately assigned to this parish. At this period the Eastern Dis trict began to spread out as a great manufacturing center. The sugar refineries employed hundreds. lany others were employed at the oil works, spar yards, cooperages, iron works, etc.

There were great demands for help. This caused an influx of foreigners, especially from Ireland and Germany. And so, beginning with the first mass celebrated in the humble stable on Grand there arose, over a period of 50 years, the churches of old St. Mary, Sts. Peter and Paul, Most Holy Trinity, St.

Antony of Padua, St. Mary's on Leonard and Maujer St. Vincent de Paul, Annunciation, SI. Nicholas, All Saints, St. Cecilia, St.

Louis, St. Leonard, St. Alphonsus, Transfiguration. Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Our Lady of Sorrows on Morgan Ave. JAMES J.

251 Steuben Brooklyn REMEMBERS WHEN FERRYBOAT BLEW UP Editor, Old Timers: I received a letter from a reader of the Eagle for 40 years who used to be a passenger on the Fulton Ferry morning and night. He asked about the names of the boats that used to run on Fulton Ferry in the 80s. His letter was signed J. L. Mc.

The answers: The Fulton ferryboats at that time were the Fulton. Farragut, with walking beams, and the Union and Hamilton. I used to visit all the ferries when there was an extra edition of the Eagle, so knew all the names. The Baltic, New York and Monti-cello were on the Hamilton line. On the South Ferry line were the Pacific, which had a walking beam, and the Wiona.

On the Wall St. line were the Somerset and Clinton. On the Catherine Ferry were the Peconic and Shinnecock. The Annex boats No. 2 and No.

3 were at the foot of Fulton south of Fulton Ferry. I remember the Sunday morn ing that the boiler blew up on the Staten Island ferryboat Westfield while the boat was in the slip at the foot of Whitehall St. They had four boats. Two ran to the 65th St. ferry and two to Staten Island.

They were the Westfield, North-field, Southfield and Middletown. JOHN REARDON. 1471 72d Brooklyn. GRAVESEND BEACH Editor Old Timers: I wonder if F. R.

who spoke of Gravesend Beach (Aug. 16) remembers Mrs. J. curtain refinishing place on Harway where the Bogarts, McBrides, Gilmours and myself and a num ber of women worked who lived in the neighborhood. I remember Tripp and Pfaizgraph's grocery and James Stilwell's on Harway where people came from ail over for a lobster and fish dinner.

Does F. R. S. remember Mrs. Ring's candy store on Hubbard That is where we went for our mall, which came from the city on the old GunLher line trains.

I remember Ulmer Park when there was vaudeville there and the little wooden schoolhouse on Harway Ave. where I went to school. Also Henry Bateman's tin and roofing place and Tom Joyce's blacksmith shop. I remember the E. church on Cropsey Ave.

which had been moved to Bay 35th St. for the widening of. Cropsey Ave. I am a brother to Charlie Murphy. I knew everyone on Gravesend Beach from 22d Ave.

S. WAR BONDS AND SAVINGS STAMPS TO BE WED Miss Geraldine XWS-: 'ViAH Mickey Was Tough But Had Quality Editor, Old Timers: "Mickey" Byrnes was one of the "tough babies" of the old 10th Ward. Ask any of the old timers and let them tell you what an obstreperous individual he was, especially when he had had a few under his belt. When sober there wasn't a better lad in the whole neighborhood. Let him put away a few whiskeys, however, and he was ready to fight a dozen wildcats.

On these occasions the gang would leave him to himself, not that any of them disdained a scrap, but they thought it the easiest way out of the thing. We had practically given up hope that there was anything worth while in 'Mickey" until one day a fire broke out in one of the buildings in the neighborhood. When "Mickey'' heard the call it seemed hours before the firemen got on the job, although it was only a few minutes without a moment's hesitation he rushed into the burning building and got all of the tenants out on the street. A girl hysterically cried out to him; "Mickey," "My mother is upon the top floor, please try to get her out." "Mickey" hotfooted it up the stairs two at a time through the smoke and flames, found the old lady lying in bed ill, wrapped a blanket around her so she wouldn't be scorched by the fire and carried her to the street. When the engines arrived there was nothing for the firemen to do but put out the flames "Mickey" had "taken It on the lam" from the scene, not wanting to be praised and called a hero.

But ever after "Mickey" stacked up to us old timers a little differently than previously. We were ready to forgive his weaknesses and we were not so anxious to shim him as formerly even when he was in his cups. The moral of the story is; that when you expect the best in some men you get the least; and often the best in a man is brought out under severe test. It was in "Mickey's" ca.se. He stood up well when HIS test came.

B. says Dr. Hughes shot wild ducks flying overhead. That certainly sounds like what he would do. Peter Meyer had first-class grocery at Bedford and Division Aves.

Mr. Meyer had a cat and Dr. Hughes tried to shoot the cat from across the street at 567 Bedford Ave. because the cat annoyed his dogs. Who remembers Eddie Meyer, son of Peter, a very good-natured young fellow gone to his reward a few years ago? He came in Swain's store, where I was employed twice a day for chocolate ice cream.

One day he gave me a bottle of champagne. The next day-he asked me how I liked it. I said: "Fine. Eddie; how does my hair look?" I had rinsed my hair with it. Well, the air was biue, he was so mad.

But It was grand for the hair. Years after. I met him and asked if he remembered me. "I sure do," he said, "and my champagne." KATE C. RING nee Murphy).
