Post Office Joins
' War On Waste'
' ' The Farmingdale post office
has joined the President's " War
on Waste", Postmaster Leo J.
Morgan announced this week.
" The reduction of waste in
manpower and materials is one of
the aims of this administration",
President Lyndon B. Johnson
said recently in outlining the
Safety Policy for the Federal
Service. " There is a great op­portunity
to make a significant
reduction in that most senseless
kind of waste- the loss of human
lives through accidents, and at
the same time save many millions
of dollars."
" We have pledged ourselves
to meet the goal set for the
Post Office Department by Post­master
General John A. Groun-ouski;
a 30% reduction in the
number of injuries and their cost
by 1970," Postmaster Morgan
continued. " The ' Mission Safety
70' program, as it is called,
is designed to reduce Federal
work injuries and costs. The
goals are: the saving of approx­imately
200 lives, the prevention
of approximately 45,000 disabling
work injuries, and a saving to
the Federal Government of nearly
$ 250 million in costs. Disabling
injuries cost the Post Office
Department nearly $ 22 million
last fiscal year."
" We are starting the new year
with a complete reappraisal of
our past efforts. We plan a con­tinuous
program of expanded ac­cident
prevention measures to
accomplish our goal. Each and
gvery one of our 105 employees
is being called upon to do his
or her part; first, by working

The nationally known Bishop's
Company of Bur bank, California
will appear in their adapta­tion
of Henrik Ibsen's absorb­ing
drama " An. Enemy of the
People" on Monday, September

in this area during the
coming months.
The Bishop's Company was

" An Enemy of the People"
is the story of a small Nor--
weigian village looking for -
ward to prosperity because of
the natural hot springs that it
has developed. When Thomas
Stockmann discovers pollution
has contaminated the Springs,
the play develops into the con­flict
of right and wrong for a
man and his principles versus
the current financial interests
of the town. Thomas cannot keep
quiet about the truth, " because
the truth of God demands that
I speak and speak and speak,"-
and he realizes that his duty
is to fight evil where he finds
it.
Tickets for " An Enemy of the
People" will be available at the

County Executive Eugene H. Nickerson, third from left, presents

Farmingdale which has been one of the leaders
in Nassau County in attracting new industry has
done it again.
Greater New York's most modern graphic arts
plant, now under construction at Farmingdale, is
expected to recapture a large share of the area's
printing business now going to firms in the Mid­west
and South.
According to Lincoln Graphic Arts, Inc., owner
of the $ 2,000,000 plant, much of the metropolitan
area's huge printing business has been awarded
to out- of- town companies because local printers
have been unable to offer a complete range of higfa-quality
printing services under one roof.
At Lincoln's new plant, located at 200 Finn Court
in Farmingdale, buyers will soon find facilities
capable of handling the most complex printing as­signments,
from the creation of original art work
to delivery of direct- mail projects to the Post
Office. No other plant within 100 miles of New
York City, Lincoln Graphic Arts claims, will be
so complete in its services.
The 75,000 sq. ft. structure is being built on a
five- acre tract, and can be easily expanded to take
care of the firm's rapidly growing business which
is expected to double within the next few years.
Completely windowless in the production areas,
the new building is air- conditioned and humidity
controlled, and " color- balanced" lighting insures
that colors in ink or on paper will never vary to
the sight despite the weather outside or the time of
day or night.
Among the operating features of the new plant
are newly designed Miehle web offset presses
capable of a full range of quality printing from
one through four colors. The building is also fitted
with sheet- fed presses, high- speed stitching and
binding equipment, electronically- controlled cut­ters,
automatic trimming and folding machines,
and a complete mailing operation with automatic
inserters, labelers, and imprinters. Facilities
are also available to handle fulfillment operations
of almost any size.
At capacity, Lincoln Graphic Arts will employ
at least 190 full- time workers at the new site,
and up to 200- part time workers.
When the new plant becomes operational early
in October, the company will shut down three smal­ler
production facilities— two in Freeport, Long
Island, and one in Manhattan. Lincoln will eontinue
to maintain a Manhattan sales office and expects
to link it to the Farmingdale plant by closed cir­cuit
television so that customers can see jobs in
progress without leaving the city.
