The Oyster Bay Town Board
has released details on action it
took earlier (last week) in which
it approved a change of zone from
Residence D to E-l Apartment

The condonimium complex of
137 units will be constructed on a
11.39 acre site located on the
south side of Old Country Road,
Plainview., approximately i,'i*

"Innovative restrictive con-venants

property owners will insure the
orderly development of the site
while- — proteeting'- -adjat:ent;
properties," according to Town

ir Blasts Planning Board's "PR"
Jim. Weir, coordinator of the
Citizens Committee Against
Multiple Dwellings in Bethpage
has charged that the "non­partisan
Town Planning Ad­visory
Board is using the GOP
Public Relations Department to
put out misleading information
oh the proposed building of
apartments in Bethpage. Weir
was referring to an article that
appeared in the Bethpage
Tribune on August 17 Said Weir:
"Mr. Ravich is fibbing when he
states the public meeting to be
held in Bethpage was brought
about by Councilman Mosca.
Everyone who ever spoke to the
councilman came away with the
clear impression that Mosca was
very annoyed at the idea of a
public meeting in Bethpage on
the proposed Master Plan.
"Herman Slavin, school board
president, wanted the meeting at
the full Board's request. Mr.
Slavin and his Board did not
"merely" offer the school
building meeting place as a
courtesy, as was reported.in the
Tribune on August 17. The board
felt very strongly that the people
should have a meeting", added
Weir. i
"I deeply resent, the pretense
of the Planning Advisory Board
that it is free of politics when it
permits its name to be used in
misleading propoganda releases.
A public meeting in Bethpage to
discuss master plan effect on the
community. does not require
courtesy for Mr. Mosca or Mr.
Ravich, It is a fundamental
birthright in a free society to
speak and listen on matters ef­fecting
their families and their
lives", he charged.
Finally, Weir urges all
residents to attend the Oyster
Bay Planning Advisory Meeting
at the Senior High School, Cherry
Avenue, this Monday at 8 p.m.
"Maybe, just maybe, we can win
this one on a permanent basis and
keep this community with a
suburban character," he con­cluded.

Levine Scores New Heroin Routes
' Stuart R. Levine, Republican
candidate for the Assembly in the
10th Assembly District, warned*
this week that the illegal im­portation
of heroin and other
dangerous drugs poses a major
threat to this country.
• Levine said it is now evident
that international drug traf­fickers
are opening new routes to
supply heroin in the United
States. He said the heroin is being
, sent through/, Burma, Thailand,
Laos, .Chip^ and Central and
South America among others to
offset a crackdown on drug
factories us1 the Marsaiiles aMa
by the French, government.
Levine credited such
organizations as the L.I.
Restaurant and Caterers
Association, which boycotted
French wines, with pressuring
the French government to move
against the narcotics factories.,
"The boycott is less than a year
old and already has reduced the
import of French wines ap­proximately
30 per cent," he
noted. "This illustrates to me
that the American people are
willing to cooperate in any effort
to stop the flow of drugs into their
communities.
"An all-out effort must be
made by our government, using
every available means, to see
that the heroin menace that was
originally French oriented does
not develop m other areas.,!'
Levine stated.
Levine is a charter member of
DEANS (Deputy Educators
Against Narcotics) and a
member of the Nassau County
Youth Board.
Displaying outstanding
balance in both the Junior and
Senior Divisions, the Plainview

'(Levittown Swim Assn.) in the
league, Plainview pulled away in
the relay events to win easily 206-
152. This win puts Plainview in

Nassau County Swim Con­ference.
