SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT
Lindsay Popular in Farmingdale, Says Poll
While residents of South Farm­ingdale
obviously cannot vote in
the upcoming New York City
Mayoralty election, they have a
vital interest in what goes on in
the big town. When asked during
the month of June for their choice
in what at that time shaped up as
a Wagner- Lindsay battle, 22.8%
voted for Mayor Wagner and
70.1% indicated their preference
for Congressman Lindsay with
07.1% who were undecided. In
announcing the results of the
Meadow Brook National Bank's
Community Opinion Poll for the
month of June, John McGrath,
manager of the South Farming-dale
office of the Bank said the
Poll would probably repeat the
mayoralty question when a new
Democratic candidate has been
selected to replace Mayor
Wagner who withdrew from the
race after the June balloting
had been launched.
In other questions asked, local
residents strongly urged the
lifting of the earnings limitations
on persons over 65 who receive
Social Security payments; they
would like to see the steering
device in automobiles made safer
and more convenient; and sum­mer
remains as the traditional
choice of a vacation time.
The vote on the question re­garding
earnings and social
security showed 78.9% in favor
of lifting all earnings restric­tions,
17.5% opposed the idea
and 03.6% were undecided. Even
at an additional cost of $ 100,
57.8% were interested in an
easier and safer auto steering
device while 35.0% were not in­terested
and 07.2% were
undecided. Finally, a summer
vacation was preferred by 74.5%
of the respondents; a winter
vacation by 16.6% and 08.9%
couldn't choose between them.
Volunteer firemen from nearby communities engaged in a mutual aid drill
this past week on the side of the old Liberty Aircraft grounds on Motor Ave­nue.
