Lynbrook Rotary Club Hears
County Clerk On Auto Licenses
- Nassau County Clerk Franklin H. Ornstein, whose office has
the responsibility of issuing license plates for the County's ap-proximately
643,000 automobiles, trucks and motorcycles on No-vember
.3rd told the Rotary Club of Lynbrook meeting at the
Ship's Inn, East Rockaway, that the new registration proceed-ures
which will be inaugurated with the issuance of the 1966
plates will put an end to the long lines and delays which have
always occured as the automobile registration period draws to a
close. "While we expect some confusion during this first years,"
Ornstein said, "re-registering your vehicle will become an auto-matic
proceedure in the future."
"Under the new system", accord-ing
to the County Clerk, "pre-print-ed
registration forms will be mailed
to vehicle owners in the Coimty on
a staggering basis beginning No-vember
8th. If the information on
the form is correct, all the owner
has to do is sign the form, send it
with a check or money order for
the registration fee and the renewal
stub from their 1965 registration
to Mr. Ornstein at tlu- Bureau of
Motor Veliicles, 400 County Seat
Drive, Mineola, New York 11501."
Mr. Ornstein noted tliat confus-ion
might arise from tiie fact tliat
since future registration will be on
a staggered basis, some people will
be ask<'d to register for ten months
or fifteen months this first time, in-stead
of the usual twelve misnths.
"No one will have to pay any
more than die correct, per month
figure", Ornstein said.
Another iiossible source of con-fiusion,
according to Ornstein, is
tliat some pre-printed cards may
bear mistakes in the .si^elling of the
owner's name, or the description oif
the oar. If tJiere is an error in the
ovvn«(r's . adtiiess; Jbe mn niakie tlie
change right on the form and pro-ceed
to use it as directed. If there
is any other error, the owner cannot
use the iire-printed form, he must
secure a new form from any of
the County Motor Vehicle offices.
If he has time, he can telephone the
main Motor Vehicle office at PI 2-
3000, extension 3173 and a blank
form will be sent to him in the
mail. This form should then be
completed and sent to Mineola just
as the pre-printed form.
The new plates will be used for
six years with a special sticker sup-plied
each year to \alidate tliem.
"Once all our computer records are
corrected, the only people who
should have to come to our Mine-ola
office are new car owners who
want their plates right away and
owners with special problems, and
they won't gang up on us in Decem-ber.
"We'll still have plenty to do",
Ornstein concluded, '^xit we'll be
able to do it more efficiently by
scheduling it throughout the year. I
tliink we'll both be a lot happier
without the crowds."

Organizations Try To
Help A Little Girl Live
On March 31, 1961, Terrance and Ann Kennedy with their
six children arrived at New York's International Airport. The
largest single family unit ever to imigrate from Ireland. They
settled in East Rockaway and on August 19, 1962, at South Nas-sau
Hospital, Winifred Kennedy was born. "Little Yank" as her
family affectionately nicknamed her, entered this world with
• little chance of survival. She was moved to Meadowbrook Hos-pital,
had an operation and was finally allowed home when sh,e
was three months old.
The doctors told the family that
Winifred could be taken from them
any day. If she were lucky she
might live to three, possibly five
years of age. This specific Fieart de-fect
had never been successfully
operated upon.
So for these past three years, Wini-fred
has gone back to Meadowbrook
Hospital every six to eight weeks for
examinations. Many learned surgeons
were told of Winifred's case at con-ferences,
but all refused to operate.
Time flew by with each day be-coming
more difficult.
One day this year, word reached
the doctors at Meadowbrook of a
Dr. William T. Mustard of The Hos-pital
For Sick Children at Toronto,
Canada. He had perfected this risky
operation and had ibeen successful.
The Kennedys were notified. They
wasted no time in arranging to have
their "Little Yank" meet with Dr.
Mustard.
On October 23rd of this year,
Terrance, Ann and Winifred 'flew to
Toronto to find out if an operation
was feasible. They flew up as taking
a train would require the attendance
of a nurse with oxygen.
The doctor arrived Tuesday,
-studied Winifred's tests and abrupt-ly
announced he would operate
Wednesday morning. The four hour
operation was a success. Thursday
morning the child turned blue—a
• clot had formed. She was rushed to
emergency and operated upon again
with more success.
" L i t t l e Yank" is home now. Her
• fingertips . are pink again and her
lips rosy red. She is w>eak but im-proving.
The family were told that
she would be all right for a few years
but more operations may be neces-sary.
Stage one has been completed.
The lo\ing care and attention given
Winifred, caused her to gain weiglit.
