School Bd. Sets Sept. Vote
The Farmingdale Board of
Education has scheduled a
special election for September 20
to seek voter approval of a
federal grant to install new roof
improvement on the senior high
school and new window im­provements
on the Woodward
Parkway Elementary School.
The maximum cost of the
projects would be $ 113,000 and
would be funded by the U. S.
Economic Development Ad­ministration.
The proposed
improvements to the buildings
would be to increase energy
conservation.
Although the projects would be
funded by the federal govern­ment,
voter approval is required.
The proposition will authorize the
board to contract with an ar­chitect
or engineer to prepare
final plans, specifications and
working drawings and to expend
and borrow interim funding
pending receipt of the federal
funds.
The voting will take place at
the Weldon E. Howitt Junior High
School on Tuesday, September
20, from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. A
special registration day will be
held on Saturday, September 10,
from noon to 10 p. m. Voters

The Pre- School Group from

Candy Hunt Tricia Nientczyk and
Scott Pearlman were the win­ners.

Colby Asks
Garage Sale
Sign Removal
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor
Joseph Colby appealed to all
Town residents this week to help
stop visual pollution by removing
" garage sale" signs at the
conclusion of the sale.
" In recent months, there has
been a proliferation of ' garage
sale' signs on utility poles and
trees," Colby explained. " Many
of these are never removed,
causing unsightly conditions
about which the Town has
received frequent complaints.
" In addition," he continued,
" nails used to post signs on trees
penetrate the tree's outer sheath
leaving it open for a parasitic
invasion which will ultimately
kill the tree."
Colby asked those nailing signs
to trees to treat the ttree with an
appropriate spray or dressing
upon removal of the sign to
eliminate a source of future
damage to the tree.
, the Supervisor expressed his
hope that residents would
cooperate in this matter " out of a
sense of community pride." He
noted that the Town currently has
no restrictions on the posting of
" garage sale" signs, but if
abuses continued, the Town
Board would be impelled to take
action to prevent such visual
pollution and destruction of trees
in the future.
Sam Zeibaq, one of the four
brother partners, told the Post
that they get possession of the
store within the week and begin
restocking and setting up the
store's operation. " We will have
the store open in no more than
four weeks," he said.
Zeibaq Food Enterprises now
operate two other Associated
Markets, in Old Bethpage and
Uniondale. Zeibaq told the Post
the market will offer strong
popular supermarket prices, that
will be competative with
Waldbaum's or even lower.
" We have our own buyers,"
Ziebaq said, " and we pick out
only the top quality meats and
fresh produce. We plan to come
into Farmingdale full blast."
He also feels Associated will
offer Farmingdale shoppers
more than just a good price
structure. They want to establish
a local community attitude with
personal courteous service, but
with all the benefits of the large
chain markets.
Customer check cashing will
reflect one of these personal
services. Associated wiH use one
of the standard computerized
card services to clear check
cashing at first. " But, once the
customer becomes known to us,"
Ziebaq stated, " we will cash the
checks without a card or showing
identification." It will be a
personal relationship.
Bohacks are supplying
Associated with a list of their
former employees at the Far­mingdale
store and these will be
screened and the qualified em­ployed
in the new Associated
store. Associated will use their
own management level per­sonnel,
however.
Gospel Sing Successful
Reminiscent of the early-
American tunebooks where the
rambling title told everything,
the Farmingdale Baptist Church
celebrated its first " Annual Long
Island New York Summer Fifth
Sunday All Day Shaped Note
Gospel Music Singing And Dinner
On The Ground." The occasion
was one of vigorous group singing
interspersed with special music
provided by various vocal and
instrumental ensembles.
Among the special groups
performing ( each limited to two
songs and encores), were the
Psalms Of David ( B'nai Yeshua
Ministry), the Jericho Singers -
( Lake Grove, N. Y.), Julie
Martell and Cathy Maerhofer
( Holy Trinity Lutheran, Rock-
