Massapequa Schdols Get
Short Oil Deliveries
Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon
has announced the filing of charges against the
Morgan Coal and Oil Corporation for short
deliveries of oil to several schools in the Massape­qua
school district. Morgan Coal and Oil, Inc. of
200 Morgan Avenue in Brooklyn is charged with
Grand Larceny in the Third Degree. In addition,
the District Attorney's Office has seized the oil
deliveries truck used in the short deliveries.
According to Dillon, "Morgan Coal and Oil,
Inc. had a contract to deliver fuel oil to the ten
schools in the Massapequa school district. Last
week, maintenance employees from the district
became suspicious that they were receiving short
deliveries of oil. They contacted the District
Attorney's Commercial Frauds Bureau and the
Consumer Affair's Weights and Measures
Department. The two offices monitored two
deliveries last week and found that the deliveries
were short 600 gallons. "Yesterday," Dillon said,
"we monitored three deliveries and were short
more than a thousand gallons."
The District Attorney said the oil truck was
seized and is now being examined by experts.

Bethpage Commemorates
Armenian Genocide
Armenians from throughout Long Island will participate
in the Commemoration of the 71st Anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide when they gather in Times Square at
43rd Street and Broadway on Sunday, April 20, from 1:30 to
3:30 P. M. They will be joined by legislators, civic leaders and
Armenians from throughout the New York/New Jersey/-
Long Island metropolitan area, and from as far away as
Washington, DC and Boston.
They will come together on April 20 to commemorate the
1.5 million Armenian meri, women and children who were
killed by the Turkish Ottoman Empire in a genocide that
began in 1915. They will also honor the "survivors" of this
tragic event, many of whom live on Long Island.
Thomas Grigorian, 89, of Bethpage, was born in Diar-bekir,
Turkey, in 1897. Forty-seven members of his family,
including his parents, were murdered by the Turks in their
rampage to destroy the entire Armenian community in this
first Genocide in the 20th century. He was the only member
of his family to survive this tragic event. He survived the long
and terrible forced march through the desert, without food
or water. During this time, Armenians were dragged from
their homes, slaughtered by the thousands, with thousands
of others forced to endure the long marches across the
desert, most dying along the way. Grigorian came to the
United States in 1972 after living in Iran and in Lebanon.^
