READY PARK AIRING
Miss Dolores Laserinko of Farmingdale checks one of the books featured
in an exhibit at the South Farmingdale Branch Public Library. The Main
Farmingdale Library featured a similar exhibit.
The display depicted Catholic, Protestant and Jewish treatment of the
move toward Christian unity and world brotherhood. Included in the displays
are several books on the Second Vatican Council, as well as photostats
of articles on the Council that appeared in The Long Island Catholic,
official newspaper of the Diocese of Rockville Centre.
Town Councilman A. Carl Grunewald announced
that he has called a public meeting for Wednesday,
April 14, at 8: 30 p. m., to discuss various proposals
concerning the development of a comprehensive
park for the Farmingdale area. Grunewald, Chairman
of the Town Board's Standing Committee on
Parks and Recreation, has arranged with school
authorities to make available the auditorium of the
Woodward Parkway School, South Farmingdale, for
the meeting.
He said invitations are going to all organizations
in the area and he looked for a good representation
so that all facets of the proposal can be thoroughly
aired.
" The purpose of this public meeting is to give
everyone an opportunity to express their views on
a proposal to acquire a 16- acre site in Farmingdale
for park purposes. Should this proposal be adopted
the site is large enough to be developed with a swimming
pool and allied recreational facilities. We
have similar projects now under construction in
Bethpage, Massapequa and the Syosset- Woodbury-
Locust Grove areas. The comprehensive paik now
serving the Plainview- Old Bethpage communities
was a forerunner of these park development programs.
Certainly," Grunewald continued, " the
same facility can be provided for the Farmingdale
area should the residents desire it.
" I am hopeful this April 14 public meeting will
provide a forum for all those who are interested
in this proposal to express their views," Grunewald
concluded.
Civil Rights Group
Meets At St. Thomas
The Reverend Robert C. Chapman, former
Priest- in- Charge of St. John's Church, Hempstead
was the guest speaker at the Long Island Chapter
of ESCRU's ( Episcopal Society for Cultural and
Racial Unity) annual dinner held on Sunday at St.
Thomas Episcopal Church, Farmingdale.
The Rev. Chapman, who is now
Chaplain at the University of
Pennsylvania, spoke about his
recent experiences in Selma, Alabama,
where he joined Dr. Martin
Luther King in the march for
voter - registration rights.
In his address, Father Chapman
stressed the need for a concerned
stand on the part of Ne-gros
and Whites over much of the
lip service being accorded the
Civil Rights Movement. The need
for physical involvement, he said,
surpasses all other needs. When
he left for Selma last week he
had great apprehensions of ever
returning safely. Hefeltthemain
reason for the non- violence, on
the part of the Alabama police,
during the second March was due
to the fact that countless numbers
of women and young people,
the majority white, were in the
front ranks of the march, alongside
Dr. King. The key, Fr.
Chapman said, to a united
Brotherhood of Men, is held by
the concerned white population.
