Parent Tells of'Incident'
At Youth Council Dance
A responsible parent, whose name is being with­held
by request, wrote to the Observer concerning
a recent incident which took place at one of the Fri­day
night Farmingdale Youth Council dances.
Dear Editors: school property, and more than
On Friday, July 20th, there was that what are they doing to pre-what
might be described as a
' disturbance' at a Youth Council
Dance.
One young delinquent, who was
being removed by a teacher, took
a swing at his mentor. This sig­nalled
a general brawl and the
three teachers in attendance found
themselves besieged physically.
Fortunately the teachers were
underrated and the delinquents
were successfully removed.
As further proof of their " pack"
system and their lack of indiv­idual
fortitude, the ejected juven­iles
scoured the local pubs,
recruited the long- haired variety
of their disgusting breed, and r e ­turned
to the Youth Council Dance.
• for more mayhem. The mayhem
broke up when the delinquents fled,
shaken by an alarm that the police
had arrived.
Just what is the background and
box- score on this activity?
Item: Three teachers were
assualted by young punks.
Item: Two teachers had the
shirts ripped off their backs by
some parents' darlings.
Item: A " rumble" was or­ganized
in minutes here in Farm­ingdale.
Item: Although called twice,
the local constabulary did not ar­rive
on the scene until the second
wave departed.
Are these circumstances known
at this time to the Youth Council?
Will these happenings be denied
or minimized? Were all respon­sible
parties away on vacation.
Will this be a typical case of
' since no one heard about it of­ficially
then it never happened"?
What has the Board of Education
got to say about such events on
vent further assaults on school
personnel?
This letter, of course, will be
cited as the real source of trouble,
particularly if some people who
love positions of eminence, but
not the responsibilities of those
positions, have to crane their necks
out of the sand and blink in the
sunlight of reality.

Two Requests Made
For Apartment Units
Two requests for the construc­tion
of apartment dwellings on the
south side of Fulton Street came
to the attention of the Village Board
at the meetingthis Monday evening.
One request was turned down be­cause
of insufficient street footage,
while the other will necessitate a
public hearing.
An informational application was
also made for a non- racing Go-
Kart track on Hempstead Turn­pike.
The request was turned
over the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Swimming pool permits were
granted to Edward Carney of 24
Jerome Drive and Salvatore Mar-giotta
of 88 Jerome Drive, Farm­ingdale.
The Village Board did not take
any direct action on the petitioners
complaint of the " odor" allegedly
caused by a firm in the Sullivan
Rd. area. The matter was taken
under advisement, according to a
Village spokesman.

Massapequa rose to a powerful position in Republi­can
politics in the Town of Oyster Bay this past
Monday evening as a result of the surprise resigna­tion
of Town Leader Thomas R. Pynchon of East
Norwich, and the unanimous election of Massapequa'
Republican Leader, C. Bruce Pearsall. The unexpected
move was considered a complete surprise by political
observers since not only did it mean the recognition
of the importance of the Massapequas in Town of
Oyster Bay circles, but also the emergence to the
top position of Pearsall, who had been denied access
to the top rungs of the political ladder due to the
opposition ofLeonardW. Hall, former Republican Nat­ional
Chairman and ex- Oyster Bay Leader.
In 1959 Pearsall had ' revolted'
against Hall, along with Assembly­man
Edwin J. Fehrenbach of Beth-page
who had demanded Hall's r e s ­ignation
as TOB Republican
Leader. Hall recently blocked
Pearsall's appointment to the Nas­sau
County Court by threatening
to support Pearsall's Democratic
opponent. Pearsall withdrew, al­though
he had received the support
of Nassau County Republican Lea­der
and speaker of the State As­sembly
Joseph Carlino, because he
did not want to cause dissent ion
in Republican ranks".
he appointed Angelo Roncallo,
formerly co- executive committee­man
as the new Massapequa Re­publican
leader. The second seat
on the executive committee was
given to Bethpage. Clifford Daley,
Bethpage leader, nominated As­semblyman
Edwin J . Fehrenbach to
the new executive committee post.
This placed Fehrenbach back on
the Executive Committee for the
first time since 1959 when he
' revolted' v. ith Pearsall against
Hall,
Joseph Carlino, Nassau County
Republican Leader and Speaker
of the New York State Assembly,
remarked that it had been " a rath­er
surprising day in the political
activities of Oyster Bay and the
County of Nassau". Hepaidtribute
to Pynchon's leadership of the Re­publicans
of the Township during
an interval of tremendous growth
in population. He pledged Pearsall
the full support of the county
organization, and indicated the
township may anticipate increased
membership on the County GOF
executive committee.
C. BRUCE PEARSALL
Pynchon stated that he resigned
the top GOP due to the pressure
of his Town duties as Superinten­dent
of Highways. It was also learn­ed
that Pynchon was concerned
with his own fight against a Con­servative
opponent in the State
Committee level.
When Pearsall moved up toTown
of Oyster Bay Republican Leader,
ANGELO RONCALLO
EDWIN J. FEHRENBACH
Carlino also referred to As­semblyman
Fehrenbach as " one of
the most energetic and diligent^'
in the State Assembly and said
that thru the Bethpage legislator's
efforts the Town of Oyster Bay
had received more state financial
assistance for education than any
other section of the State or County
of Nassau.
The announcement was made by
Pynchon at a meeting of 4th As­sembly
Republican Committeemen
at the Four Seasons. Woodbury,
Tuesday evening shortly after the
action of the executive committee.
The creation of two new vice chair­man
positions in the organization
was also announced.
