GOP TOB CANDIDATES WIN Eight percent of the registered Republican voters
went to the polls on Tuesday in the Town of Oyster
Bay councilmatic contest within the party held on
Primary Day.
According to Frank Hynes, Republican Leader
in Farmingdale, although 8% appears to be a small
percentage of the voters, when compared to the
national average of 5% of either the number of
Republican or Democrat registered voters in their
usual voting pattern in Primary elections, Farm­ingdale
was far ahead.
There were no Republican or Democrat com­mitteemen's
battles in Farmingdale.
Walter Cox, a Republican Committeeman in
Massapequa Park, sought to become a Republican
candidate in the November 2 election and ran in
each election district in the Town of Oyster Bay
against any one of the three Republican designees,
Frank Hynes, Angelo Roncallo and Frank Marino.
According to political observers, Cox showed
amazing strength, even though he lost fn the Prim­aries,
( see Primaries score card), he captured
31% of the total vote in his bid for election. Cox
did not have any apparent political organization
behind him; he ran without any team mates to help
him cover the large territory of the Town of Oyster
Bay; he was an insurgent, not designated nor did
he have any support from the regular Republican
organization either Town wide or with the Repub­lican
leader of Massapequa Park. In fact, Cox
has maintained that the Republican image is being
hurt by the alleged fact that Al Zimmer, the Re­publican
Zone leader of Massapequa Park is the
Building Inspector of The Incorporated Village of
Massapequa Park and that he conducts a roofing
and home improvement business at the same time.
Cox came into politics through his friendship with
the late Robert J. Andres, who served as Repub­lican
Committeeman in Massapequa Park, as Mayor
of The Incorporated Village of Massapequa Park
and as Village Attorney. Andrews received one of
the largest Republican votes ever tallied when he
successfully ran as the Republican designated can­didate
for Trustee of the Jones Fund.
Although there were no Republican committeemen
contests in Farmingdale, Farmingdale residents
may be interested in the North Massapequa com­mitteemen's
battle which resulted in the insurgents
winning. The election or reelection of the Zone
leader will be held shortly.

Village Historian Suggests Resolutions
* Ruthie\ the elephant acts as a Republican standard bearer, for District
Court Judge Francis J. Donovan, who is seeking reelection November 2nd
in Nassau County's 4th District. Incidentally the Judge lost in horse shoes to
Clifford Williamson at last Saturday's picnic given in South Farmingdale
by Ellsworth ' Doc* Allen. The Judge plans to come back to Farmingdale to
spend the day on Monday, October 11. We're not sure whether he's bring­ing
the elephant or not, but perhaps he'll try to pitch another game of horse­shoes.
Mrs. Caroline Bunting Klesh,
Farmingdale Village Historian
offered the following resolutions
to the Mayor and the Village
Board at Monday's night meeting.
The resolutions were offered in
accordance with New York State
Law, that a Village Historian is
Village Official who should pro­pose
resolutions to the village
board in the case of historic
preservation. A resolution should
be proposed in such cases where,
for example, a change of zoning,
might mean that the historic and
aesthetic appearance of the com­munity
is being harmed; or that an
historic landmark would be de­molished
to make way for a road­way
etc.
On Monday night the following
resolutions were offered for con­sideration
for enactment by the
village board.
1. That photography of historic
value to The Incorporated
Village of Farmingdale now in the
files of any commercial business,
be made available for copy pur­poses
to the village for the files
of the village historian, for the
files of the Farmingdale- Beth-page
Historical Society and for
safekeeping at the Farmingdale
Public Library so that general
reference use may be made of
them by all residents of The In­corporated
Village of Farming-dale.
2. That the Village Historian
be authorized to undertake the
project of the compilation of an
official history of Farmingdale.
This history should initially be
in the form of an anthology of
reminiscences .. A committee
should be established with the
help of the Farmingdale- Beth-page
Historical Society, a
society, which has been perman­ently
chartered as an education­al
institution by the Board of
Regents of the State of New York.
The history should be written
by a host of individuals
who have a special interest or a
special knowledge of a limited
area of Farmingdale history. Six
typed copies should be prepared
in notebook form to be placed
in the Farmingdale Public Li­brary.
These notebooks should
be made available for reading in
the library and for borrowing
for home reading inorder that
corrections and additions may
be made on empty pages provid­ed
in the back to insure greater
historical accuracy. The note­books
should be provided with
pockets for additional remarks
by local residents. After one
year, the historical account of
Farmingdale should be reedited
with the added local comments
and additions and published by
the Village of Farmingdale. The
expense to be made up through
sale of the Farmingdale history.
The first resolution was made
by the village historian at the
suggestion of the village attorney,
Joe Stern as a proper resolution.
Mayor Joseph Zureck, and James
McKenna, the Village Clerk were
apprised prior to the meeting
that theVillage Historian wished
to offer suggested resolutions.
Permission had been granted.
Trustee Norman Krasnow
made several comments. He said
that he felt that no commercial
business should be required to
