Leaders Attend Petito Luncheon
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor
Michael N. Petito was a featured
speaker on Thursday, at a lunch­eon
held at the Lobsterman in
Farmingdale.
Speaking to some 60 commun­ity
and civic leaders, Petito
pointed up a need for a pro­fessionally
run town recreation
department. He said the various
communities across the town
need more year round recrea­tion
facilities, including youth
community centers.
Petito said that current anti­social
behaviour among young
people is causing delinquency and
is leading to increased use of
naicoticji by teenagers. The Su­pervisor
is chairman of the Nas­sau
County task force on
narcotics.
Petito said he favored longer
terms for town supervisors. Add­ing
in a light vein, that he hoped
the state legislature would see
its way clear to increasing that
term at a future session.
In conclusion, Petito said he
believes " home rule" will be
given an assist by approval of
the charter revision proposition
on this year's ballot. It would
increase the makeup on the county
board from its present six mem­bers.
He is also directly opposed
to the sales tax.
Mrs. Mildred DeMarco of
Bethpage Road was Chairman of
the luncheon. Among those who
attended the luncheon sponsored
by die Farmingdale Democratic
Committee were: Mayor Joseph
Zureck, Postmaster Leo Mor­gan;

Withdraws
Application
An overflow crowd of over
50 Village residents filled Farm­ingdale
Village Hall Monday
evening, October 18, to present
their opposition to the Council
regarding the application made
by E. B. T. Inc., for a franchised
bus route through the Village
of Farmingdale. The public hear­ing
was held to determine whether
or not Consent would be granted
by the Council for the franchise.
Mayor Zureck had previously
noted that die Village as a whole
would benefit from this service,
in that it would provide trans­portation
to many residents in­cluding
commuters, shoppers, and
students. At the hearing, the
application was viewed in a dif­ferent
light.
Authur Deissler of 381 Se-catogue
Avenue, Farmingdale,
delivered the case for the
opposition. A petition, based on
a survey of residents in the area
of the proposed bus route, signed
by 388 citizens, was read aloud.
It included several points which
