EASTER - THE RESURRECTION
Luke 23:50, 55-56 & Luke,24:1-9
From The Living Bible
1 hen' a man named Joseph, a member of
the Jewish Supreme Court, from the city of
Arimathea in Judea, went to Pilate and asked for
the body of Jesus. As the body was taken away, the
women from Galilee followed and saw it carried
into the tomb. Then they went home and prepared
spices and ointments to embalm him; but by the
time they were finished it was the Sabbath, so they
rested all that day as required by the Jewish law.
But very early on Sunday morning they took the
ointments to the* tomb - and found that the huge
stone covering the entrance had been rolled aside.
So they went in - but the Lord Jesus' body was
gone. They stood there puzzled, trying to think
j,what could have happened to it. Suddenly two
men appeared before them, clothed in shining
robes so bright their eyes were dazzled. The
women were terrified and bowed low before them.
Then the men asked, "Why are you looking in a
tomb for someone who is alive? He isn't here! He
has come back to life again! Don't you remember
what he told you back in Galilee - that the
Messiah must be betrayed into the power of evil
men and be crucified and that he would rise again
the third day?" Then they remembered, and
rushed back to Jerusalem to tell his eleven disciples
- and everyone else - what had happened.

Oyster Bay Town Councilman
Joseph J. Saladino has asked
parents to consider the purchase
of stuffed animals or some other ...
toy, rather than live animals, for
-•V^t&St&mmfaster time. »
"When families tire of cleanjinjjv^
up after small rabbits or
ducklings--and this doesn't take
too long--the animals are
generally taken to some open
area, pond or woodland and
dumped with the explanation that
'it wants to be with its friends.'"
said Saladino. "This is a
thoughtless act which presents a
serious threat to the wild animals
of the area as well as to the local
environment. .Ultimately, the
domestic animal is sure to die to
Starvation or by the predation of
other animals.
Oyster BayV°Environmental
C<.w,t.>^jl Commission issued a
report fasf 'year stating that
domestic animals may carry
foreign diseases .that infect
native animals and foul pond
waters. Also, the "leavings of
domestic animals, containing
large numbers of bacteria
essentially the same as those in
human waste, have an injurious
effect on water quality.
Senior Execs SCORE for '74
Got a yen to open a Japanese
restaurant?
Your popcorn sales are great,
but the chewing gum bubble has
burst?
You say your dirt and water
divisions are going fine, but the
combination has you bogged
down?
Mrs. Would-Be Merchant and
•Mr. Businessman you can get
advice and guidance on problems
from highly-qualified prof-fessionals
right here in Nassau
County free of charge.
The person who needs words of
wisdom on whether to enter a
business, or counseling con­ferences
on how to get his
business out of the red.need only
call on SCORE to get aid.
SCORE translates to Service
Corps of Retired Executives, a
group now numbering about 20
men and women who work
through Nassau County's
Department oL Commerce and
Industry"and serve the federal
government's Small Business
Administration.
"Their service and the wisdom
they dispense is all voluntary and
all valuable," stated County
Executive Ralph G. Caso "They
are ready, willing and able to
help anyone in the county with a
business problem. In fact, these
vigorous business veterans want
more to do." .
George Eichert of Garden City,
chairman of SCORE,outlined for
Caso a new setup the group has
established to be of greater
service.
"In the first seven years we
were in operation," Eichert said,
"the Commerce and Industry
staff received calls for us. We'd
pick them up once a week, send
out a form, and when we got it
back,we'd assign a counselor to
the problem.
"We found out there was a
great drop off between calls for
information and aid and the
filled-out forms. We realized
people wanted immediate action,
so the first of this year with the
help of Caso and (Commerce and
Industry) Commissioner James
R. Wells, we changed the SCORE
system."
-Eichert explained that a
SCORE volunteer now is on duty
from 10 AM to 1PM each
Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday in Room 233 of the
County Executive Building at 1
West Street, Minebla,' to give
advice,answer questions or plan
major counseling with
businessman or would-be mer­chant.
"People can just come in. and
talk to us," Alfred hevison of
Garden Cite*,«M?..of the SCORE
counselors said.
"We'd also like to fewivssgw
more retired businessmen and
women join us," said Eichert.
"In 1973 we handled about 400
inquiries and we certainly expect
far more this year."
Any retired person who has had
.experience in business or com'
"mercial fields can join.
"I was in foreign trade -
By Herb McCann
mostly metals," Eichert said.
"I'm 62 and I've been retired five
years. I'm only a youngster
compared to Al Levinson here.
He's 73, has been mostly retired
for 20 years. He was in wearing
apparel and textiles.
"Our other problem in Nassau
SCORE is seasonal. A lot of our
people winter in Florida or some
other warm place. It leaves us
short-handed. Anyone wants to
join up or ask a question can call
535-2284."
What kind of problems do
Eichert, Levinson and company
handle? Big ones and little ones,
they say.
"A man called the other day
with one I think may be complex
and take a couple of our older
heads to work out," Eichert said.
"It seems he and a partner
deliver dietary foods.to some 900
homes. No matter how they try,
they can't do more than meet
expenses. There must be a
profitable way and I'm sure we'll
find a cure for their problem."
"A lady whose husband is
about to retire asked our advice
on whether to go into a franchise
business which they could run
from their home," Levinson said.
"When I learned they had no
business experience, would have
to invest more than $13,000 in
savings and deal with an out-of-state
contractor, I urged them
not to proceed."
