Library Director Resigns
Farmingdale Library Director
Orrin B. Dow has submitted his
letter of resignation to the
Library Board of Trustees ef­fective
December 1. He will
accept a similar position in the
City of White Plains in West­chester
County.
According to William Pinns,
library board president, he
received Dow's letter in the
board's mail box Monday,
November 1. Pinns told the Post
that he felt that one month notice
is not much time to consider
replacing a man in such an im­portant
post as director of the
library system.
Pinns said that the director is
presently engaged in contract
negotiations with library em­ployees.
The library has also
recently been involved with a
proposal to rejuvenate the plan
for a new central library on the
site of the Main Street School to
be paid for by federal funds under
a new pubic works law.
However, Pinns said the issue
is probably a dead one now, since
the school board rejected the
initial proposal and there are now
far too many municipal ap­plications
filed for the federal
funds available to New York
State.

With the exception of a new Democratic President and
a new Democratic U. S. Senator from New York State,
Farmingdale voters will not have any problem
remembering their representatives are. All the in­cumbents
won re- election bids in Tuesday's election.
The only change being made in
the Town of Oyster Bay will be
the appointment of a new Town
Supervisor. John W. Burke won a
seat on the New York State
Supreme Court. Burke and
Nassau County Judge Bernard
Tomson won the only two con­tested
seats in the high court
race, defeating Eli Wagner and
Alfred F. Samenga.
Congressman Jerome A.
Ambrb ( D) retained, his third
congressional district seat by
defeating Town Councilman
Howard T. Hogan. Jr. ( R- C).
Ambro's strong showing in his
home Huntington area overcame
Hogan's strength in the Town of
Oyster Bay. Ambro polled 91,843
votes to Hogan's combined total
of 83,899. Liberal Hy York was
out of the running with 2,422.
State Senator Owen H. Johnson
( R- C) turned back the second
challenge of Democrat Hillard
Boss to win re- election in the 4th
Senate District that includes
Farmingdale. Johnson polled
50,477 votes to 43,802 for Boss.
Assemblyman Philip B. Healey
( R- C) cruised to an easy victory
in the 11th Assembly District
with a 13 thousand vote edge.
Healey polled 28,820 votes to
Roberta Miller's ( D) 15,550 and
Mary F. Roche's ( L) 695.
Assemblyman Louis Yevoli
( D) again defeated Stuart R.
Levine ( R) in the 10th Assembly
District that includes the Village
of Farmingdale. Yevoli received
23,894 votes to Levine's 15,686.
Joseph L. Connelly ( C) 2,589 and
Joel M. Meyers ( L) 591, also ran.

November 11,1965 - 5: 20 p. m. A
little whatsit in a huge Canadian
generating plant goes blotto, and
the entire eastern seaboard of the
United States is plunged into
darkness. Millions of hapless
citizens are trapped on electric
trains, in elevators subways and
traffic jams. In New York City,
ten not- too- smart people spend
an uncomfortable night on a dead
escalator. Tons of frozen food
turns into mush. Thousands
trudge up countless flights of
stairs by matchlight to their high-rise
apartments. Flashlight and
candle sales skyrocket. Light
bulbs become dark bulbs and
neon becomes neoff. It was a
night of confusion, havoc and
surprisingly, a great deal of fun.
It was the night of the great
Blackout. There has never been a
night like it since - but there will
be.
On Saturday, November 27, the
Farmingdale High School Dads'
Club will re- create the night the
lights went out with a dinner
dance at the American Legion
Hall on Eastern Parkway, from 9
