Hardscrabble Contestants Voting Begins
Rules Changed
For Contest
The Master and Miss Hard­scrabble
Contest entered its third
week with a total of 29 con­testants
signed up and the votes
beginning to roll in at the Far­mingdale
Library ballot boxes.
One important rule change has
been made in the contest to allow
more contestants to participate.
The composition, which was to
be written by the finalists, has
been eliminated. Master and
Miss Hardscrabble and the two-runners-
up will be selected by
popular vote only. Thus, the boy
with the highest vote tally will be
Master Hardscrabble and the boy
with the second highest among
boys will be his runner- up. Miss
Hardscrabble and her runner- up
will be selected in the same
manor.
Contestants may still register
for the contest competition by
contacting the Farmingdale
Post, The Farmingdale Library
or any participating merchant.
Contestants may also register at
the time they have their official
contest pictures taken at Claire
Courtesy Month
Draws To Close
Studios, 237 Main Street, Far­mingdale.
Contest photos are
taken free of charge every
Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 5
p. m.
Relatives and friends of the
contestants are urged to ask for
the ballots while shopp^ g.- in the
stores of the participating
Farmingdale merchants. The
complete list of stores is listed in
the centerfold of this week's
edition of the Post.

Contest Leaders
At the first collection of ballots
from the ballot boxes, located in
the two Farmingdale Library
branches, the first set of Master
and Miss Hardscrabble leading
contestants was formed.
Leading at the end of the first
week of balloting were: Robert
Meagher ... 510, Nicholas
Anastasiadis ... 339.
Six other contestants received
I under the 100 vote minimum for
contest leaders, so there is still
time for new contestants to catch
up to the frontrunners.
As the Farmingdale Rotary
Club's Courtesy Month program
drew to its conclusion, four more
recommendations arrived at the
Farmingdale Post citing in­cidents
of good will.
Mrs. Irene, Creamer wrote,
" While I was in the hospital for
ten days my wonderful neigh­bors,
Mr. & Mrs. S. Katz and Mrs.
P. Phelan of 12 Lyons Avenue,
and Mrs. Thelma Fusaro and her
son, Tommy, of 17 Lyons Avenue,
S. Farmingdale, had my husband
and children to their homes for
supper."
Upon my return home, they
continued their neighborly help,
not only by their encouraging
visits, but by taking turns in
preparing delicious meals and
bringing them to my house."
Paul J. Gofdfarb, general
manager of Bell Arbor Novelty
Co. wrote, '' Having known
William Purcell, Postmaster of
the Farmingdale Post Office for
many years, I present his name
as one of the kindest, most
considerate individuals I have
known. His pleasantness and
easy going disposition is a
pleasure to be experienced."
Mrs. A. C. MacMillan of
Central Islip wrote, " As a former
resident of Farmingdale I still
return to the village to do some
shopping. Our big reason is Lou
Cohen of J.& J. Shoes on Main
Street."
" Having small children,
buying shoes can become a
chore, except at J.& J. Lou
always has a smile, a pleasant
word and non- stop humor for the
kids."
" While having experienced
crying and fighting to fit feet, I
have never left J. & J. with such a
child. The kids now enjoy the trip
