F. W. Woolworth, Co. By Annette Ling
The F.W. Woolworth Company
will open its newest U,S. store
at 31 Atlantic Ave., Lynbrook
beautifully remodeled since the
store closed due to a bad fire
in 1967.
A Grand Opening ceremony
is planned for 9:15 a.m., April
4, 1968 with Honorable Francis
X, Becker, the Mayor of Lyn-brook
and members of the Lyn-brook
Board of Tirustees on hand
for the formal ribbon cutting-ceremony
to open the store for
business,
Woolworth executives on hand
for the occasion from the North
East Regional Office will be Mr,
R. Brillinger and Mr. A J . Dut-ton.
More than a year was spent
in planning and constructing this
new store in order to incor-porate
the latest developments
in store design and retailing
techniques, according to popular
Mr. Charles Linnemeyer, the
store manager.
The store represents another
step in Woolworth's moderoiza-tion
and expansion program at
home and abroad to meet the
changing needs of customers.
The company's extensive con-sumer
research shows that to-day's
customers like "one-stop"
shopping which requires that new
lines of merchandise, inciudine;
fashion apparel and the extension
of traditional lines to provide
a wider selection,
Mr, Linnemeyer reports that
the 15,000 ft. new store will
feature over 15,000 new items
arranged and displayed for con-venient
selection. Convenience
to the shopper has been the
paramount feature in the bright
and sparkling-new decor, includ-ing
parking facilities adjacent to
it.
Soft lighting, air-conditioning,
and many surprising features
are all incorporated in the largest
chain store in the central busi-ness
district of Lynbrook,
A convenient part of the new
store will be the new luncheonette
which will seat 61 people and
is equipped with the latest in
food service equipment to in-sure
prompt service.
Store hours will be from 9:15
a,m. until 5:30 p,m, except F r i -
day when Woolworth's will be
open until 8:45 p.m.
A special feature of the opening
day sale will be the chance to
win, either a color T.V. or a
collie puppy with the lucky win-ners
to announced at a later
date. Once again, the main chain
• store on Atlantic Ave, will be open
with everyone in the area very
happy to see it opened again.
Salary Pact
The Lynbrook Teachers As-sociation
voted Monday, March
18th, to accept the salary and
welfare contract presented to
them by the Board of Education
of the Lynbrook Public Schools.
The starting salaries range from
$6,800. for a teacher with a
Bachelor's degree to $7,888.
for teachers with a Master's de-gree.
Included in the contract is
a revision of the sabbatical leave
options for teachers who have
been employed in the district
for a minimum of 7 years.
Franklin Z. Gatland, President
of the Board of Education, stated
that the Board's action in adopting
the contract was an attempt to
seek a reasonable agreement with
the teachers while considering
the best interests of the residents
of the district.
Mr. Donald H. Cosgrove,
Superintendent of Schools, and
Mr. Jay Broad, President of the
Lynbrook Teachers Association,
were both pleased that the ne-gotiation
sessions were con-ducted
on an amicable and pro-fessional
level, and that the a-greement
entered into by the
parties will enable the Lynbrook
Public Schools to continue to
provide the quality education long
associated with the district.
Transportation
to and From Work
Congressman John W. Wydler
(R-Nassau County) announced to-day
that he has filed a Bill in
Congress which would amend the
Internal Revenue Code to allow
a deduction for income tax pur-poses
for expenses incurred by
individuals for transportation to
and from work.
"This Bill is in the form of
a Commuters's Bill of Rights",
Wydler stated, "as the recent
increases in commutation fare
on the Long Island Rail Road
reemphasize the crushing costs
being imposed on commuters in
our nation."
"My Bill would allow up to
$500.00 as an income tax de-duction
for expenses incurredfor
transportation to and from
work," Wydler said. This ef-fort
is coordinated with the Bills
introduced in the New York State
Legislature by State Senators
John D. Caemmerer of East
Williston, Henry M. Cur ran of
Oyster Bay and Norman F. Lent
of East Rockaway
Books for
Servicemen
By S.L. BOVE
In concurrence with Memorial
Day, the "Books for Servicemen"
drive is again being sponsored
by The Friends of the Malverne
Public Library. Last year, in
lieu of placing memorial wreaths,
several local organizations con-tributed
funds for the drive.
These efforts did not go unre-warded.
. .last fall the Friends
received a letter from the Di-rector
of the U.S.O. in Manila,
gratefully acknowledging receipt
of the books. This is one way
in which members of the com-munity
can show their support
of our men and women in the
armed forces. Any amount you
can afford will be appreciated.

Friends of the Malverne Public

Crime Rate Dawn In Malverne By S.L. BOVE
Statistics gathered by Lieuten-ant
Howard J. Rose and revealed
in the Malverne Police Depart-ment's
annual repost for 1967
to the Village Board of Trustees,
show that the crime in the na-tion,
state and local county has
risen about twenty percent dur-ing
the year, while in Malverne
the rate has decreased twenty-four
percent. As an example,
Freeport had a forty percent
increase, Rockville Centre re-ported
a twenty-five percent in-crease,
and crime in Hempstead
went up thirty percent.
In the report. Acting Chief of
Police, Walter W, Kerzner,
states that for this terrible blight
on our society, the Courts and
the law-makers must accept their
major share of responsibility.
It is they who have mled that
the criminal's rights are para-mount.
They have steadily sapped
the power of police until it has
become nearly impossible to en-force
the law without the police
violating the same set of laws

decrease in the number of traf-fic
