Seek Volunteers Judge Hogan on
for AHRC Drive ' Forgef- Me- Mof Ball'
Committee Mrs. Willis B. Carman, Fund
Drive Chairman of the Farm­ingdale
AHRC, has put out a call
for volunteers to do their share to
help retarded boys and girls in
Farmingdale and throughout Nas­sau
County. Mrs. Carman, in call­ing
for volunteers, said " The
Association for the Help of Re­tarded
Children here in Nassau
County does much for these young­sters
and each of us should do
his part to see that AHRC can
continue to help retarded boys and
girls. The money that is collected
can help a child to lead a life that
is closer to normal, and can help
some of the burden of care from
die parents' shoulders. By helping
AHRC, " we are showing these par­ents
that we too care for the wel­fare
of their children."
Mrs. Carman pointed out mat
AHRC supports clinics at two Long
Island hospitals, provides school­ing
which allows many retarded
youngsters to attend special class­es
in public schools, and provides
a Vocational Training Center for
retarded young adults who other­wise
would never be able to find
employment. Right now the AHRC
summer day camp for more than
300 retarded youngsters is in full
swing at AHRC's Brookville head­quarters.
AHRC's Farmingdale
Auxiliary calls for volunteers to
help during the door- to- door fund
drive. For further information call
Mrs. Frank P. Mangan at Ch 9-

Districts 22 & 18 In
For Extra State Aid

24 hard pressed school districts

tax rate", it was learned by The
Observer today. Included in this
category are District # 18

Assenblyman Edwin J. Fehrenbach
of Bethpage. He had originally
asked for $ 1,000,000.
A. Terry Weathers, President
of the Board of Education of School
District # 22 said mat the amount
had not been computed as yet,
but felt that it would not affect
the lowering of the tax rate
appreciably In District # 22.

Set For St. Kilian's Event
The Morris Karp & Son Fertilizer plant was the
target again of charges by a group of residents from
Sullivan Road who have repeatedly peppered Village
Hall with petitions and requests for ' relief of condi­tions
in their neighborhood.
The Observer has reported, for the past two years,,
the Sullivan Street requests and the actions by Mayor
Joseph Brune, the Village Board and Mr. Morris Karp
in their attempts to correct the situation. _
This Monday night another peti­tion
signed by 114 residents was
received by Mayor Brune and the
Village Board of Trustees. The
latest document charged mat " in
spite of statements and claims to
the contrary, the fumes, dust and
noise emanating from the Morris
Karp and Son fertilizer plant is
still unbearable." The petition
further charges that " Available
village records indicate that at no
time did Morris Karp and Son
ever receive permission from the
village government to operate a
fertilizer factory. As a matter of
fact, the manufacturing of fertil­izer
is a PROHTOrTED USE in the
Village of Farmingdaie zoning
code." The petition signatures
were gathered by Mr. Joseph Mo-lino
of Sullivan Road, Farmingdale.
Mr. Morris Karp told THE OB­SERVER
that the charges were
absolutely false. " We have com­plied
with every Village request
over the years and have spent a
considerable sum of money for
special equipment to remove any
possible fumes out of the blend­ing
process at the plant. It is true
we do not possess a Certificate of
Occupancy for a fertilizer manu­facturing
plant, but we do not man­ufacture
fertilizer, we simply mix
various materials which are
brought to the plant. I can't see
how anyone can say we a r e in the
manufacturing business."
" In addition". Mr. Karp added,
" We have stopped our plant op­eration
at 6 p. m. at night even in
our peak seasons in order to com­ply
with the resident's requests.
We have invited members of die
group to visit the plant and in­spect
die new equipment to pre­vent
any air pollution. They have
never responded to our invitations,
and it looks like die charges r e ­peated
time and time again de­spite
our actions such as the in­stallation
of die Doyle Tubular
Scrubber to correct any situation
about which tiiey are unhappy, is an
attempt to put us completely out
of business. " All of our attempts
to be a good neighbor have been
fruitless, evidentallysincewenev-er
hear from any member of die
group. They do not make dieir
charges directly to u s . "
