Section II
Mayor Geier is pleased to
announce that the first phase
of the Village's Road
Improvement Project has
been awarded to Bi-County
Construction Corp., and
construction should begin
around early July. The
streets included in Section 1
and II of the Road Improve-ment
Project are indicated
on the adjacent (or wherever
it is placed in paper) map.
Mayor Geier Advises resi-dents
that while the project
during the construction
pijiase will cause some incon-veniences,
the objective of
the overall project is one that
is for the betterment of the
entire Village. Mayor Geier
further advises that if any
residents have any problems
or questions regarding the
Road Improvement Project,
to call either his office (599-
8784) or Village Hall (599-
830.0).
The injuries were not too
serious, for the "victim" was
one of the Grist Mill Muse-um's
manikins that had
already suffered a fractured
skull, a broken arm, and the
loss of a hand! However, it
is an antique stretcher from
the Main Street Firehouse
that she has been placed
upon. WARNING: "graphic
details of injuries are shown,
children should be warned,"
as they say on TV.
The influx of fifefighting
material into the Museum's
"Fire Room" started when
committee member Mary
Gipson was able to obtain
a large showcase for the
room. Also fireihan Jim
Duncan started going over
some all-but-forgotten fire
memorabilia. To date, he
has filled the case and there
is more to come.
Work has begun on the
TOM REDDY's TOOL
SHOP exhibit; and, hope-fully,
it should be completed
by the end of August.
Experts from the Town of
Hempstead are in charge
and have been quite
impressed with our collec-tion
of old tools. As the work
goes on they suggested that
I ask local residents if they
have any 19th century tools
that they might be willing to
donate to the exhibit to
contact the Village Hall.
While searching for other
articles for the toolroom,
one of the men came across
a small, old handplow suit-able
for a four-year old
child.
"It might be a toy plow
or one made by a farmer for
his son when he accompan-ied
his father."
Not being knowledgable
about tools, and not even
being able to hammer a nail
without bending it, ye his-torian
was delighted with the
small child's plow. This
would make an attractive
addition to the farming
exhibit setup showing the
farmer using a seeder owned
by Floyd Johnson. If anyone
should have a small boy
manikin or doll that could
be dressed in overalls, it
would be more than
welcome.
Once more we are trying
to keep the Grist Mill
Museum, mostly if not all,
of and from "We the PEO-PLE"
of East Rockaway.
A panel of color photos
given by the OBSERVER
are on display in the
Museum. Come and find
yourself!
