Vacation Loan Now In Effect at Public Library Mill Lane Held first Honor Society Induction
Patrons of the Farmingdale Pub­lic
Library may now borrow books
on " Vacation Loan," according to
Library Director, Orrin B. Dow.
The extended loan policy, the Lib­rarian
said, permits the borrowing
of books which are not in great
demand for a period longer than
the regular three week period.
To keep the records straight,
borrowers are requested to indi­cate
whenever books are to be
checked out as vacation loan. The
extended loan privilege will con­tinue
through September 18.
Said Dow:
" Family vacations are fun and
nothing adds more to their enjoy­ment
than being profitably and
happily absorbed in good books.
Take along a supply of them
something to fit the hobbies and
interests of each member of the
family, and some to read aloud to­gether
in the evenings or on rainy
days. Summer is a good time to
catch up on the books you've always
meant to read."
Favorite types of books forvaca-tion
borrowing, according to Dow
are classics, popular novels of
recent years, travel books, and
books about summer sports. He
said readers may also make use
of the long- term vacation priv lege
to develop new leisure- time pur­suits,
to broaden knowledge of
their chosen fields, keep abreast
of cultural activities and world
affairs, or to prepare for next
semester's reading assignments.
Summer hours of opening will go
into effect this Saturday, June 16.
This schedule change calls for a
9: 00 A. M. to 1 P. M. schedule at
both the Main Library and the
Branch.

In a record new registration on
Tuesday^ 1679 was added to the
already registered figure of 2922
giving a present total of 4,601,
voters in District # 22. According
to Board Trustee A. Terry Weath­ers,
this was most encouraging,
and he expected a record registra­tion
of over 6000 total after Sat
At a special Board meeting held
this past Monday, District # 22
the Board of Education restored
$ 14,850 for the cafeteria service
rather than raising the cost of
lunches 5 cents which had been
the subject of much tax payer
discussion and criticism atthepu-lic
hearings.
The Board adopted a final re­vised
budget of $ 9,851,980 of which
$ 5,151,473 is to be raised by
taxes which was a reduction of
$ 173,700 from the amount of $ 5,-
325, 173 to be raised by taxes
which was defeated on May 2.
The District # 22 Board of Edu­cation
moved mat a leter be writ­ten
to advise the Commission of
Education mat " in view of our
district's $ 21.86 full value tax
rate for 1962- 63, we be­lieve
strongly that this district is
entitled to be included on a pro­portionate
basis in the distribution
of the $ 500,000 authorized by the
1962 Legislature for apportion­ment
to districts experienceing
" Unusual and excessive financial
hardship caused by relatively high
tax rates, or relatively high op­erating
expense or by other fac­tors,"
such financial hardship for
our local taxpayers having been
underlined by the district's re­jection,
on May 2nd, of the 1962-
63 budget by a vote of 1929 to
1295.
The Board also moved and pas­sed
unanimously that it " reaffirm
the basic educational program as
it now exists; that an evaluation
be submitted next spring, at which
time the Board will assess each
part of the school program
and make any changes that are
necessary; that the Board of Edu­cation
commend the Superintendent
for the education program which he
is implementing."
