Award
The Lynbrook Chapter of the
Nassau County Homemakers
Council will receive a national
award for its "outstanding con-tribution
to the recreation and
park movement" during the
Lynbrook Village Board meet-ing
at the Municipal Build-ing
on Monday, Sept. 25, at
8:30 P.M.
The certificate of appreci-ation
will be presented by the
Honorable Francis X. Bec-
1 ker, Mayor for the Inc.
"•^lif^^lUage of Lynbrook.
Granted by the Board of Trus-tees
of the National Recreation
and Park Association, the cer-tificates
are given to individ-uals
and groups throughout the
nation who have made major
voluntary contributions toward
improving their community's
park and recreation programs.
The Chapter won the award
for its work with children since
1961. The Recreation Commis-sion
nomination particularly
mentioned the many millinery,
sewing, textile painting, baking
and crafts projects the Chapter
has conducted.
In summarizing the Chapter's
voluntary efforts, the Commis-sion
said that the Chapter mem-bers
" expressed a great in-terest
in children with whom
they worked and were always
ready to give of their time
and energies when called upon
to do so over and above the
scheduled project times."
Hits At
Niekerson
Supervisor' Sol Wachtler,
the Republican candidate for
County Executive, again today
blasted County Executive Nic-ker
son's support for the plan
to have the State take over
welfare.
"the plan would mean an ad-ditional
$40 tax burden for ev-ery
man, woman and child in
Nassau County," Wachtler said.
He added, "Mr. Niekerson is
saying to the average family
of four, 'I can show you how
to save $32 a year in real
estate taxes. All it will cost
you is $160 extra in State Tax-es
"
'that's the kind of thinking
that would put most Nassau wage
earners in Mr. Niekerson's
state-run poor house before
long. It's cruel and deceitful,
Wachtler said.
Wachtler arrived at the $40
figure by computing what the

Assails
Cigarette
Bootlegging
Rep. Herbert Tenzer, the or-iginal
author of legislation to
stamp out the interstate smugg-ling
of untaxed cigarettes, this
week called on the taxing au-thorities
of sixteen states to
support his bill as "the only
practical and feasible way to
defeat the growing menace of
bootlegging." Tenzer was a pan-elist
at Governor RockefeUer
Cigarette Tax Enforcement
Conference held at the New York
Hilton Hotel.
Tenzer's bill would bring
Federal enforcement agencies
into interstate cigarette smugg-ling
by making it a Federal
Crime. It would also require
anyone selling or transporting
more than 25 carons of cigar-ettes
to file a report with the
taxing authorities of the state
into which the cigarettes are
being shipped. The Long Is-land
Congressman said the Jen-kins
Act which made the inter-state
mail-order sale of tax-free
cigarettes a FederalCrime
killed mail order smuggling
and predicted that his biU would
do the same to the current
practice of smuggling by truck-load
and carload.
Tanzer's bill already has the
