Presidency Not Too Much For
One Man, Bank Poll Shows
The job of the United States
Presidency is not too much for
one man. This was the feeling
of most South Farmingdale participants
in the recent Meadow
Brook National Bank's Community
Opinion Poll, according to
results announced by John Mc-
Grath, manager of the Bank's
South Farmingdale office.
The tally on the question of
whether the duties and responsibilities
of the U. S. Presidency
have become too much of a burden
for one man: 53.9% said no.
42.4% answered yes and 3.7%
weren't sure.
The majority of local voters
in the Poll rejected the idea of
a lottery draft instead of the
present Selective Service System,
with 54.8% against the lottery
idea, 41.5% in favor, and
3.7% who apparently couldnt
make up their minds.
On other questions, 50,4% of
voters in the South Farmingdale
area indicated a willingness to
have another com mere ialjet a i r port
on Long Island, 48.6% turned
thumbs down on the proposal,
and 1.0% were undecided. The
United Fund concept won firm
acceptance from voters, 59.2%
preferring that system in place
of making donations to many individual
charities, 35.3% in favor
of the latter system, and 5.5%
who apparently could live contentedly
with either system.
Opposed To Narcotics Treatment
Center In Old Bethpage
Councilman Ralph J. Marino
this week voiced strong opposition
to the location of a narcotics
treatment center in Old
Bethpage at the Nassau County
Hospital for Pulmonary Diseases.
Marino called the proposed site
" most inappropriate for the
treatment of drug addicts." He
pointed out that five public
schools and at least one parochial
school are within a short
distance of the Hospital, in addition
to the nearby Boy Scout and
Girl Scout recreational areas.
" This could create a dangerous
situation," Marino said, " possibly
exposing the youngster to
dope pushers and addicts who
are seeking to convert others
to their miseries."
Marino said he supported the
suggestion of Assemblyman Martin
Ginsberg to locate the treatment
center at the Short Beach
Coast Guard Station near Jones
Beach.
Marino again called on Supervisor
Petito, as Chairman of the
Nassau County Task Force on
Narcotics Addiction, to join with
him and support his proposal
to establish a Narcotics Education
Coordinator in the Town of
Oyster Bay, " so that we can

begin the vital task of educating
everyone to the evils of drug
addiction, with the full support
of all Town officials.
" This is where the real battle
must be fought and won. We
must begin a sustaining education
program in the schools and in every
other organization in the community
so that the evils of narcotics
addiction will be dramatically
brought to the attention
of every parent and every
youngster. It is obvious that the
present occasional flurry of activity
is not accomplishing much
to bring to the attention of every
parent the dangers of drug
addiction. The establishment of a
Narcotics Education Coordinator
is a preventive measure which
should receive your full and complete
support,' Marino told Petito.
" This concept is entirely
compatible with the proposed
Nassau County Commission on
Narcotics and I expect to present
this recommendation to the
Town Board in the very near
future."

Easier To Mail
Packages Under
New P. O. Plan
Use of ZIP CODE will make it
easier to mail packages after
January 15, Postmaster Leo.
J. Morgan of Farmingdale said
this week.
New rates and a new system
for identifying post zones will
go into effect on that date as
provided in legislation signed
into law on September 20, 1966,
the Postmaster pointed out.
The rate increases will average
about 10 cents a parcel, Morgan
said. Starting July 1, the law
provides for a series of size and
weight increases on packages
mailed between first- class offices.
Farmingdale is a first-class
office. The size and weight
increases will be in five annual
steps, the last coming on July 1, .
1971.
Use of ZIP CODE in the r e cipient's
address will enable the
sender or a mail clerk to quickly
determine the proper zone, and
the rate for the package. The
zones will be based on the distance
a parcel travels between the
552 sectional centers in the country,
Morgan said.
By consulting a chart, which is f
available at all post offices, the
zone can be readily identified because
the first three numbers of
the ZIP CODE represent the sectional
center. This replaces a
method in which a directory often
had to be consulted to locate the
proper zone for each of the nation's
33,000 post offices.
The new rate will range from
40 cents for a three- pound parcel
destined for local delivery to
60 cents for the same parcel to
zone 3 ( 150 to 300 miles) to $ 1.05
to zone 8 ( over 1,800 miles). The
new zoning method will also apply
to air parcel post, catalogs,
and to publishers who pay zone
rates on the advertising portion
of their periodicals.
Morgan noted that all parcels
mailed between post offices within
the Hicksville sectional center
will be charged at the first zone
rate. There are 78 post offices
within the Hicksville sectional
center.
The new rates are expected to
provide an additional $ 74 million
a year for the Post Office
Department. The later size and
weight increases will add another
$ 32 million a year . The additional
revenue is to help keep the
Department within 4 percent of
costs on parcel post as the law
requires.
