Levy Proposes Bill
To License Camps
Senator Novnr^h J. Levy (R-Long Beach), brand-ing
conditions at some summer camps as "worse
than migrant labor camps," today introduced pro-posed
legislation which would require yearly li-censing
of licensing of children's sleepaway camps.
The proposed legislation is single exits and the screens on
being co-sponsored in the
Assembly by Milton Jonas (R-North
Merrick)and Joseph
Margiotta (R-Uniondale), Martin
G i n s b e r g ( R - P l a i n v i e w ),
Chairman of the Assembly
Health Committee, and Eugene
Levy (R-Spring Valley). Prin-cipal
co-sponsor in the Senate is
John Flynn (R-Yonkers).
Senators Levy and Flynn are
joined in Senate sponsorship by
Senate Health Committee
Chairman Tarky Lombardi (R-Syracuse),
and John R. Dunne
(R-Garden City).
Sen. Levy explained that tht
proposed legislation stemmed
from the findings of an in-vestigative
team of State officials
which he led on an inspection of
children's sleep-away camps last
summer. The investigative team
included officials of the New
York State Department of
Health; the the Division of Fire
Safety, New York State Office of
Local Government; and local
officials.
Levy said, "We found fire
escape exits that were com-pletely
blocked. Over-crowded,
wooden sleeping quarters had
their windows were nailed shut.
The few fire extinguishers we
could find were either empty or
placed outside the buildings."
Sen. Levy continued, "None of
the camps we visited conducted
fire drills. In one camp raw
sewage coated the floor of the
kitchen's basement. Fly paper,
laden with the rotting ^dies of
dead flies, hung directly over the
food which was to be served that
evening.
"It is shocking," Sen. Levy
stated, "that such flagrantly
hazardous conditions can and do
exist in overnight summer
camps, which are responsible
for the health, safety and lives of
tens of thousands of children."
The bill requires yearly
licensing by permit of sleep-away
camps and inspections by State
or local health officials prior to
licensing. At present camps may
be licensed for up to three years,
and there is no prior inspection
requirement.
The bill would make the
operation of a summer camp
without a permit a Class A
misdemeanor. It would also

Senator Edward Kennedy made a r a r e appearance on Long Island last Mon-day
night. He was the Guest Speaker atthe Winter Reception," sponsored by
the Nassau Dennbcratic Comnnittee.
The affair was held at the Salisbury Restaurant, Eisenhower Park.
The room was f i l l ed to capacity with approximately 1,000 persons, who r e -
sponded to the Senator's speech with cheers and resounding applause.
M r . Kennedy posed some questions such as. Why hadn't Republican President
Nixon ended the war in Viet Nam as he had promised? He cited the example of
Republican President Eisenhower, who had promised to end the Korean War and
kept that promise. Senator Kennedy likened President Nixon's comment on the
decline of unemployment and economic distress to a person who is ill and
running a high fever. Though the patients'temperature might drop from 104 to
102 he is not yet well. He isn't as sick as he was yesterday but he is still sick.
The Smorgasbord menu was varied and more than ample. The partisan
crowd received the Senator with great warmth and a thunderous ovation.
