Farmingdale Man
Stabbed in Bar
A 31 year old Farmingdale man was
assaulted last Friday and then his
assailant left the scene to burglarize a
nearby bar. According to police in­formation,
Gerard Hannon of Cornelius
Street, Farmingdale, was in a bar at
about 2 a. m. when he asked James
Enderling, of Locust Avenue, Far­mingdale,
for a ride home.
When Enderling refused, Hannon
stabbed him three times with a knife.
While the victim was being taken to the
hospital, Hannon, a 23 year old gas
station attendant, went to a second bar
and burglarized it. Three bottles of
whiskey and coins were stolen.
Patrolman Goller picked Hannon up at
the second bar. He was charged with
assault first degree and burglary third
degree.
Property valued at $ 1360 was stolen
from a Hillside residence last Friday.
Entry was apparently made through a
rear door between 10: 30 a. m. and 1 p. m.
Rings, money, and jewelry was taken.
A second burglary was reported by
police, this one occuring at a home on
Roxbury Street. On October 17, 3: 30- 7: 40
p. m., a television, tape deck, and liquor
was stolen.
Hospital by Pielloch and rescueman Dan
Turner.
This is the first time equipment like
this has been used to save a life in this
area and also marks the first time that
the local volunteers have injected anyone
to save a life.
The South Farmingdale residents can
thank Dr. Oscar Cunanan, a noted
Cardio Pulmonary Respiratory
physican and a resident of this com­munity
for their new Cardio Mobile
Telemetry equipment and the training of'
paramedics qualified by Nassau County
Medical Center and certified by the
Heart Association to assist patients
striken with a heart attack. The patients
chances of recovery have been made
more positive with this new equipment
which transmits cardiograms from the
home to the hospital. Results are tran­smitted
back to these volunteer
paramedics for immediate action.
Dr. Cunanan spent many months
training these paramedics, conducted on
a class room basis in the South Far­mingdale
Fire House and clinical ex­perience
at Nassau County Medical
Center and other accredited hospitals in
Nassau County. Much of his valuable
time was also used for devising training
procedures, reports and making all
necessary appointments for conferences
with other M. D.' s who specialize in this
field for actual clinical practice at the
various hospitals.
Dr. Cunanan was chairman for a Luau-
DilUier- Dance held on October 13 at Sons
of Italy Hall in South Farmingdae, which
was enjoyed by 750 people. The
necessary funds were raised for the
immediate purchase of this equipment. It
is now in use, the paramedics are
available at all times and with sincere
appreciation and a secure feeling of
protection, the South Farmingdale
community has every reason to be
grateful for all the work and effort Dr.
Cunanan has devoted to a most wor­thwhile
cause.

Heart Attack Victim Saved by
Rescue Squad Paramedics
October 31 will be more than
Halloween to many Farmingdale
youngsters. Through proclamation of
Farmingdale Village Mayor John T.
Hallahan Wednesday, October 31 has
been declared " UNICEF Day".
The mayor urges " every citizen, old
and young alike, to participate in trick or
treat for UNICEF and to welcome
properly identified collectors at the
door- those whose orange and black
containers carry the official printed
UNICEF message with the UNICEF
symbol of a mother and child, and who"
are accompanied by a responsible adult
or teenager."
Any child wishing to take part in this
cause which aids the children of the
world can pick up containers at their
schools or the public libraries. The
" Trick or Treat for UNICEF" collection
is being sponsored by the Women's In-terfaith
Committee of Farmingdale.
Children throughout District No. 22 will
solicit for small change from Far­mingdale
and Massapequan residents.
Contributions this year will be given to
the needy children of West Africa, area of
the Sahelian Zone. A severe drought has
caused hunger and sickness to run
rampant in six countries. UNICEF is
providing relief with medicine and
supplies and manpower to dig wells.
As part of the UNICEF program, films
will be shown at the South Farmingdale
Public Library on Saturday, October 27.
The libraries will also collect containers
from youngsters after they have com­pleted
their soliciting. Likewise, each
religious school can be given the money.
Sunday, November 4, has been set as
the major collection day. Children can
bring their containers to St. Luke's
Lutheran Church, Sunday School
Building, between 2 and 4 p. m. Films will
also be shown at this time.
American Education Week
Supported By PTA Council
Each Year during American
Education Week PTA joins the schools
in welcoming parental visits to the
schools so that they might sit in the
classroom to observe children and
teachers in action. Education Week has
been designated for October 21- 27 and the
PTA theme is " Get Involved- Stay In­volved."
The local PTA follows this advice all
year. It constantly endeavors to aid
parents, children and administrators
alike in the responsibilities and part­nership
in American Education. Much
ground work is laid for their efforts at the
district's semi- annual conference.
Farmingdale Elementary and Second-dary
PTA units were well represented
among the more than 600 delegates to the
Nassau District Fall Conference which
was held at Baldwin Senior High School
on October 16.
Leadership workshops were conducted
in numerous areas of PTA concerns
including the emerging area of Human
Relations. Voices were raised concerning
prejudices on the part of students,
parents, teachers, administrators and
school boards. Achievements in Far­mingdale
school administration, board
policy implementions, community
organization, cooperation, and specific
groups such as the Concerned Parents
were complimented. They were cited as
moving in the right direction toward
achieving the goals declared by the
Commission on Individual Development
of the National PTA.
The goals aim to have all PTA mem­bers
become leaders in human relations
by increasing their awareness and
sensitivity to human needs. Members
should try to implement National PTA's
resolutions that seek to promote equality
of opportunity for everyone regardless of
sex, race, religion, age, national origin, or
economic status, regardless of where the
person lives.
PTA memberships represent all the
groups most concerned with a common
cause- the education of American youth.
" Get Involved- Stay Involved" is sound
advice for all in Farmingdale.
