DISTRICT 22
Ttie District 22 Board of Education
passed a resolution at
Monday's Board meeting to sign
a new five year contract with
Superintendent of Schools William
A. Kinzler. The new contract,
will supercede the former contract,
which still had one year
left, and is standard procedure
for both parties, it was pointed
out.
Trustee Bernard Lang commended
Kinzler, his work and his
growth within the school district.,
Board president Mrs. Lucille
Goulding made a plaque presentation
to the two outgoing trustees
Mrs. Josephine Jones and Bernard
Lang. She said she was
proud to have worked with them
and was sorry that they couldn't
continue because the district was
losing two great board members.
' Unfortunately, that's politics,'
she said. Lang said that at the beginning
of the school year he
had hoped for increased attendance
at school meetings. His wish
came true as was evidenced in
recent months over several
major controversies. He concluded
by saying he would work
for ' the equality of all peoples.'
Mrs. Goulding paid special tribute
to his years of dedicated work as
curriculum chairman.
Considerable discussion ensued
on the use of a supplementary
textbook for 1968- 69 entitled
• From Left ro Right.' See story

Mc Closkey Applauds
Senate Long Weekend Bill
Assemblyman Francis P. Mc-
Closkey mis week applauded the
United States Senate's action approving
a bill providing for five
three- day weekends for Federal
employees and promised to resubmit
his bill to the State Legislature
creating the same longer
weekends in New York State.
McCloskey's bill, which passed
the Assembly in the last session
of the Legislature provided for
the creation of three- day holidays
that would include Columbus
Day, Washington's Birthday,
Memorial Day and Veteran's
Day for observance on Mondays.
Labor Day currently falls on
the first Monday of September
according to McCloskey's bill
which conforms with the Federal
bill awaiting the President's signature.
Washington's Birthday
would be observed on the third
Monday of February, Memorial
Day on the last Monday of May,
Columbus Day on the second
Monday of October and Veteran's
Day on the fourth Monday
in October.
A significant feature of this
bill is that it keeps the movement
alive to make Columbus
Day a national holiday.
There will be no change in
observance of New Year's Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
McCloskey, whose bill was
passed by the Assembly but did
not come up for a vote on the
floor of the Senate, maintained
that the increased Monday holidays
would enable families to
enjoy greater range of recreation
and permit more time together
and for travel. He added
that he would push for approval
by the Senate and Assembly next
year.
The Democratic candidate for
Assembly from the 8th Assembly
District, Lewis J. Yevoli charged
that incumbent Republican Assemblyman,
Martin Ginsberg,
switched a key vote on Governor
Rockefeller's controversial
urban redevelopment proposal-in
an agreement which found the
Governor subsequently approving
a pension bill as a reward for
the legislature's cooperation.
Yevoli pointed out that Ginsberg
had originally voted against the
Urban Bill and then changed his
vote to " yes" the second time
the bill came up. The bill passed
the second time by a close margin,
the crucial second vote was
apparently part of a " deal" which
saw certain legislators change
their votes in return for Rockefeller's
approval of a high-priced
pension plan for the lawmakers.
The bill in question calls for
the formation of the Urban Redevelopment
Cooperation, which
consists of a nine member board
appointed by the Governor which
has the authority to condemn
land anywhere in New York State
for the purpose of constructing
low and middle - income housing.
Yevoli went on to say that
Ginsberg's action would threaten
areas in his own Assembly District
including Plainview, Hicks-ville,
Bethpage, Syosset and
Farmingdale, by giving the State
the authority to condemn land
for the purpose of constructing
low and/ or middle- income high-rise
apartments. " And the residents
of these areas have absolutely
no recourse if such action
is taken," the Democratic
candidate added.
Yevoli pointed out that less
than 24 hours after the Urban
Redevelopment Bill was passed,
the Governor cleared the way
for the pension plan which gives
the legislators a guaranteed income
of at least $ 9,000 annually
after 20 years in Albany; he added,
" it is this type of self-serving
political horse trading
that causes the voter to lose faith
in their elected officials.
Of the Urban Renewal Bill,
Yevoli said, " it is an addition
of yet another cumbersome cog
in the already burdened wheel
of political bureaucracy!"
He also added that, " it is a
sad commentary on strained
times when programs as important
as urban renewal are
subordinated to political deals."
Yevoli went on to say mat, " the
original concept of urban renewal
was aimed at rebuilding the ghet-toes
and eliminating the slum
conditions foistered upon die oppressed
and downtrodden. This
particular bill appears to be
ITALIAN
FOOD
aimed at bringing ctty- bred problems
directly into die suburbs:
and you can't cure an infection
such as this by attacking
the symptoms, you've got
to get at die root causes."
In closing, Yevoli renewed his
pledge to seek a repeal of the
bill if elected, adding, " An alternate
plan to the Urban Redevelopment
proposal must involve
greater emphasis on r e building
poverty- stricken cities,
and incorporate programs that
include greater educational and
employment opportunities."

Today, our waterways aro much
like roads. In boating travel, too,
we must obey traffic rules for the
safety of ourselves and others.
Beyond the prescribed rules laid
down, we must exercise courtesy
and judgment at a l l times when
operating boats.
A few basic rules for better
boating:
1. In head- on meetings, both boats
steer to starboard ( the right) so
that each pa ses the other to the
port ( l e f t ) side.
2 When overtaking, the faster
boat must keep clear of the boat
being overtaken.
3. A motorboat burdened with another
boat in its danger zone

( from dead ahead to two points
abaft of the starboard beam) must
give way by altering course*
slowing, or stopping if necessar,-,
4, Boats under sail have the
right of way over powerboats,
except if they should be overtaking.
Buoys are the road signs of the
waterways. When a boat enters a
channel from open water, the
buoys on its port side ( left) a r e
black with odd numbers. Buoys on
the right are red with even numbers.
Steer a course between
them, keeping to the right. Mid-channel
buoys are vertical stripe
marked. Buoys marking obstructions
are horizontally red
and black striped with the top
band indicating the best channel
side.
ALHAMBBA M A R , ^
Do's and Don'ts of Boating:
Don't tie up to buoys or channel
markers.
Don't appropriate pier or dock
by tying up and leaving your
boat, thereby depriving others
of the only space available.
Don't anchor so close'to other
boats that fouling can occur.
Don't anchor in channels or
fairways, thus interfering
with traffic through the channel.

Don't desecrate the waterways
by dumping refuse overboard
to collect in harbors or
on the shoreline.
DO get familiar with your
local buoyage system. Charts
governing your own waters
should be obtained and
studied.
DO exercise courtesy when
passing other boats, especially
small craft with anchored
fishermen.
DO avoid staring at the occupants
of other boats it's an
invasion of privacy!
DO render help to another
boat in trouble. It is unsea-manlikc
to ignore a distress
call.
DO be considerate of others
whenever and wherever you
boat.
