• William O'Brien, President of the
East Rockaway Board of Trade
stated that the East Rockaway Re-port,
the monthly publication of the
Boerd of Trade would print a re-traction
of the statement, "It's being
told that one of our village officials
almost had a a-la-Mangravite ac-cording
to a land conveyance made
last September."
The decision was reached after
Mayor Charles KruU demanded a
retraction or proof of the accusation
at the Board of Trade's luncheon
meeting last Wednesday. O'Brien
appointed an investigating officer,
who reported back last Friday that
the statement was untme and un-founded.
The next issue of the East Rock-away

free to 5,000 resident, will be out
in March.

(H-W'estchester), would amend sec-tion
313 aud 3201 of the education
law. The existing law now pro-hibits
the exclusion of a child froui
"any public school in the State of
New York on account of race, color
or national origin." The ijroiioscd
amendments add the proviso that
tlie "assignment of students in pub-lic

to race, color, religion or national

clear that an overwhelming ma-jority

substantial portion of those who are
basically sympathetic to the aims
of desegregation, are opposed to
dismanteling t h e neighborhood
school system in favor of the mass
transportation of Negro children ttj
white area schools and \isa versa
where the standard of education is
found to be equal in all schools."
The purpose of this bill, accord-ing

I.()OK WHO'S FOUND: Two weeks ago, this paper ran a photo «tf
young Peter Bove with Ko Ko his lost pet cat. Many calls came into th.^
Bove household saj'ing that Ihey saw Ko Ko, but as each lead was tracked
down, it was felt that Ko Ko was gone for gooil. Last week, Mrs. Stanley Ka-ta,
242 Village Ave., Lynbrook, thought she saw Ko Ko noar her home. She
t<M)k the cat in, but couldn't find her copj' of the Ilehn-Review that carried
the story. A call into the Helm office soon had the Bove's down and sure
enough, it was Ko Ko. Pete is shown above as he was reinvited with his
"Pal." It seems as if Linda, 2(a, is sorry to see Ko Ko leave after his brief
visit to the Kata household. Patting Ko Ki) is Yvonne G, who was very
happy that Ko Ko was foimd and reunited with his master.
