Rotary Club
Bicycle Project
Well Received
President Roy DeMeo of the
Malverne Rotary Club reports
that the Club's bicycle engraving
project was well received.
During the three months in which
local Rotarians conducted the
program a total of 267 bikes were
engraved. The Malverne Rotary
Club embarked on this project to
help bike owners and the Police
Department identify recovered
stolen bicycles. There are
presently about 10 bikes at Police
Headquarters which have not
been claimed. If these bikes had
been marked the Malverne
Police Department would be able
to determine the owners and
return their bikes. Other com-munities
have reported a dechne
in thefts where a significant
number of bikes were registered
and marked. The members of the
Malverne Rotary Club hope tlieir
efforts will produce the same
results in Malverne. Malverne
Rotarians thru their President
Roy DeMeo also expressed their
appreciation to those residents
who generously responded to
their recent maihng. The funds
received will be used to carry on
the many projects which directly
benefit all Malverne residents. If
you have not yet sent a con-tribution,
please do so. If your
return envelope has been
misplaced you can send your
contribution to: The Malverne
Rotary Club, P.O. Box 46,

50 Years of Giving
This year marks the 50th an-niversary
of the start of the
traditional Salvation Army "Red
Kettle" Program in Nassau
County.
The first Red Kettle made its
appearance on Main Street in
Freeport in 1923 and since that
time the familiar Kettle and Bell
Ringer has been found each
Christmas Season in every major
shopping center in Nassau
County, where funds are raised to
maintain the Army's programs of
providing food, clothing and toys
to families throughout the year.

Executive is shown above

No Sunday Gas On
LI. State Parkways
Gasoline filling stations on all
parkways under the jurisdiction
of the Long Island State Park and
Recreation Commission will be
closed from 9 p.m. Saturdays
until midnight Sundays during
the current energy crisis.
The announcement made
yesterday at the Commission's
Babylon office noted that steps
proposed by President Nixon will
be implemented speedily.
While filling stations will be
closed, the usual emergency
services will be available in
cases of accidents or break-downs.
Tow trucks will be
authorized to supply up to 2 1/2
gallons of gasoline to drivers
stranded because of empty tanks.
This will be sufficient fuel to
allow them to reach a location
where they can obtain further
assistance.
Meanwhile, the Commission
also announced that 50 mile per
hour speed limit signs have been
posted on all parkways and will
remain in effect until further
notice. All signs are plainly
visible, and the new regulation
will be enforced strictly by park-way
police.
The order to close parkway
filling stations from Saturday
nights to Sunday midnight goes
into effect this weekend
(December 1-2).
Lions Fill Charity List
The Lynbrook Lions Club was
happy to distribute the sum of
($4,000.00) Four Thousand
Dollars among many Charitable
organizations at their annual
charity disbursements meeting.
Under the fine leadership of the
past president, William Overs,
the Lynbrook Lions Club
members individually and
collectively employed their best
efforts in raising this charity
fund and making the
distributions possible.
The members of the club
recognize that more is required
than just their own willingness to
bring about such charitable
distributions. It is the un-d
e r s t a n d i n g , concern,
cooperation and additional
contributions of the residents of
our community and elsewTiere.
The Lynbrook Lions Club wishes
to thank each and every person
for their support in the endeavors
of the club.
