Oyster Bay Town Supervisor
John W. Burke announced that
the Town Board will hold a public
hearing on Tuesday, August 24, to
consider adoption of a local law
permitting certain games of
chance to be conducted by
qualified organizations as a
means of raising funds for pur­poses
in the general public in­terest.
" The proposed local law, to be
considered as a result of
legislation passed during the
latest session of the legislature
and signed into law by the
Governor, would permit what are
commonly referred to as ' Las
Vegas Nights'," Burke stated.
The proposal incorporates
strict regulations to protect
against infringement by non-charitable
persons or
organizations and as assurance
for the proper conduct of the
games and authorized disposition
of net profit.
Major provisions of the
proposed local law, patterned
after the State's model include:

e d u c a t i o n a l , service
organizations and volunteer fire
companies chartered for a period
of at least three years prior to the
time of application to conduct
games of chance. The Town's
proposal specifically prohibits
political organizations from
making application.
• Adoption of a games of
chance definition permitting
games in which prizes are
awarded on the basis of
designated numbers, colors or
symbols, but specifically ex­cluding
the operation of slot
machines, bookmaking, policy or.
numbers games.
• Prohibition against the direct
wagering of money between
players. No single prize is to
exceed the sum or value of $ 100.
No series of prizes during any one
licensed occasion is to exceed
$ 1,000. The maximum amount of
a single wager is to be $ 10.
• Entire net proceeds are to be
devoted to the purposes for which
license application was made to
the Town Clerk.
• A licensing fee to conduct
games during specified periods of
not more than 14 consecutive
hours each and a fee permitting

Housewife Attacked,
Stabbed In Home
Eighth precinct police are
searching for a teenage boy for
the critical stabbing of a South
Farmingdale woman in her
home.
Detective William Schultz of
the eighth squad reported Mrs.
Audrey Bauer, 36, of 145 Plitt
Ave., was awakened at 1: 45 a. m.
by a person she described as
about 18, five feet nine inches tall,
with frizzy shoulder length hair
tied with a polkadot bandana
around his head and wearing a
light colored jacket.
Mrs. Bauer told police the
intruder said, " I just want your
body" and she screamed. The
youth, police said, then stabbed
Mrs. Bauer three times in the
cheat and once in the left
shoulder.
Mrs. Bauer's 14 year old son,
Timothy, who was sleeping in a
bedroom adjoining the family
room where the attack took
place, heard his mother's scream
and rushed to a neighbor's home
to call police and seek help.
Mrs. Bauer's husband, Stanley,
was not at home at the time of the
attack and three other children
were asleep in upstairs
bedrooms.
Police believe the intruder
entered the home through an
unlocked basement window and
escaped out the kitchen door.
The victim was taken to Mid-island
Hospital, bethpage, where
she underwent surgery for her
wounds and was placed in the
intensive care unit in critical
condition.
