NYSTROM GETS "ASSIST" FROM LOCAL YOUTHS .... with
SUPER WALK '79 fast approaching, local school representatives are
feverishly helping to recruit walkers for this year's March of Dimes
annual Walk-a-thon, set for Sunday April 29th. N.Y. Islanders right-wing,
Bob Nystrom, is heading the campaign as SUPER WALK
Chairman and is confident that with his SUPER corps of volunteers,
SUPER WALK '79 will be the best ever. Nystrom urges anyone in­terested
in joining the 35-kilometer Walk, beginning and ending at
Eisenhower Park, to register today by calling 433-7000, and help out
in the fight against birth defects.
Joining Bob in promoting SUPER WALK '79 in Bethpage is Seth
Fogler (right), one of the student representative for J.F. Kennedy
Junior High School.

Meadow, N.Y. Kiwanis district chairman for citizen service, join
forces to help combat vandalism on the LIRR. Purcell proclaimed
April as "Kiwanis Vandalism Alert Month" throughout the county,
when Kiwanis members in Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties will
be circulating 10,000 posters and using radio, television and the
newspapers to alert the public of the costs and hazards of vandalism.
Helping Youth Get Jobs
The Leadership Training
Institute, a Nassau County based
national, non-profit educational
research and operations
organization is offering a Youth
Employment and Training
Program for eligible young
adults from the Towns of North
Hempstead and Oyster Bay, and
the City of Glen Cove.
Youths accepted into the
program will be paid $2.90 per
hour for twenty hours of work
experience and up to fifteen
hours of classroom training per
week. The classroom training
involves mathematics, reading,
writing, business skills,
vocational guidance and em­ployment
skills development.
High school equivalency
preparation will be included for
interested participants. The
twenty hours of work experience
will take place in a local agency
or office which has agreed to
provide training to enhance skill
development. The goal of the
program is to provide permanent
placement in unsubsidized
employment, and to promote
higher education.
The program is open to out of
school youths between the ages of
16 and 21 who reside in the Towns
of North Hempstead and Oyster
Bay and the City of Glen Cove.
Participants must meet low
economic guidelines established
by the Department of Labor or be
from a family receiving some
form of cash public assistance.
Persons interested in applying
to the program or wanting fur­ther
information should call 483-
3400 weekdays from 9 until 6 PM
Springtime comes to Old Beth-page
Restoration Village the
week of April 16-22 when visitors
can observe housewives, farm­hands
and shopkeepers
engaged in a flurry of seasonal
chores and pastimes.
The ladies of the house will
black their iron stoves, beat the
rugs, air bedding, scrub clothes
and polish brass with a time-honored
concoction of vinegar
and salt.
The 1865 Layton Store will
feature cleaning supplies, garden
and farm tools and fabric and
trim for fashioning new "Sunday
best" outfits. The village
blacksmith will be seen com­pleting
repairs of farm im­plements
as the carpenter mixes
up a fresh batch of paint for
weather-beaten houses and
barns.
Farmers will turn the sun-warmed
earth with horse-drawn
plow, set out cabbages, onions
and peas and tend the new-born
lambs. High above all this ac­tivity,
the chimney sweep will tip
his top hat to visitors as he
clambers around the rooftops
with his brushes and brooms.
Jeff Warner and Jeff Davis will
provide a light-hearted musical
touch at the crossroads Monday
and Tuesday as they fiddle and
strum tunes well-loved for
generations.
A tintypist will offer his ser­vices
to visitors all week, por­traying
them against a
background of Springtime hustle
and bustle. Checkerboards will
await players in the general store
and in several outdoor nooks.
Dominoes will be stacked^on the
bar at the Noon Inn. Children will

TOB Hearing
Oyster Bay Town Councilman
Salvatore R. Mosca announced
that the Town Board will hold a
public hearing on Tuesday, May
8, to consider the adoption of an
ordinance regulating the
manufacture, storage, handling
and use of hazardous substances
and materials.
"The proposed regulations
follow the nationally recognized
safety standards of the American
Insurance Association and are
intended to safeguard life and
property from the hazards of
explosion and fire that may arise
in the handling or storage of such
materials," Mosca said.
The proposed ordinance grew
out of the tragic death of two
Bethpage volunteer firemen
killed in 1978 battling a fire in­volving
swimming pool
chemicals. "The advice and
recommendations of fire fighters
and other experts from
throughout the county were
solicited and incorporated in the
development of this proposal,"
Mosca said.
McNew Seeks Reelection
Plainview-Old Bethpage Board
of Education President Robert A.
McNew has formally announced
that he will seek re-election to his
seat on the Board in the May 9
voting.
McNew, a graduate of
Louisiana State University and
George Washington Law School,
and a Coast Guard Reserve
Lieutenant Commander,
presently serves as the Assistant
Chief of the New York Field
Office of the Justice Depart­ment's
Antitrust Division. His
years of experience as an in­vestigator,
a trial attorney, and
the supervisor of a staff of Justice
Department lawyers have been
excellent background for his
School Board role. As one
colleague puts it, "Bob has
learned how to ask the tough
questions - and to get the an­swers
to those questions."
First elected to the School
Board in 1976, McNew broke all
precedents when he was elected
by his fellow Board members as
President of the Board in 1978,
after only two years Board
service - an unparalleled show of
confidence and respect.
As Board President, McNew
has earned a reputation for being
"tough." His no-nonsense at­titude
may have offered some
people, but he's waged an un­ceasing
battle to maintain quality
education for Plainview-Old
Bethpage students while ef­fecting
realistic economies to
protect the pocketbooks o
District taxpayers. One key reult
of McNew's efforts is that the
forthcoming 1979-1980 School
District Budget appears to be
"the first no-growth Budget in the
Plainview-Old Bethpage School
District in thirty years."
McNew, a veteran marathon
runner, also serves as President
of the Plainview-Old Bethpage
Road Runners Club. He lives with
his wife Judy and daughters Erin
and Tracy at 19 Richard Court in
Plainview.
