r A New Store in Town
Two hundred varieties of domestic and imported cheeses are
featured in the new Cheese Emporium ( above) located at 164
Hicksville Road, Bethpage, just north of the intersection of
Hempstead Turnpike and Hicksville Road. Owners Ron
Castiglione and Ralph Fatturuse indicate the store offers a full
line of gift packages of cheeses as well as many varieties of
salami. Plans for a wine cabaret offering wine, cheese and
fondues in the evening will complete the facility and be ready in
approximately two months. Ron and Ralph have named the
addition to the store " Back Barn". If you stop in the Cheese
Emporium, cheese connoisseur Doris Ludwig, will serve you.
Hours for the store are 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. daily including Sunday.

he decided it was too big for his folks' table.

Banquet Set for
Number 1 Team
To have a first rate football
team is quite an honor for a
school. To have a nationally
recognized team two years in a
row is an unusual distinction.
A host of dignataries will be on
hand Thursday, February l, at a
banquet in honor of Farmingdale
High Schools football team,
which won the Nassau County
Football Championship, was
voted number one in the New
York State, and number six in the
nation.
Newly elected Third
C o n g r e s s i o n a l District
Representative Angelo Roncallo
will serve as chairman of the
Banquet Committee, an­nounced1
Hugh Clinton, president
of the Farmingdale Dad's Club,
sponsor of the banquet. Also
expected to attend is Neil Kerr,
president of the New York State
Sports Writers Association and
Joe Pater no, head coach of Penn
State. Paterno recently sent his
personal congratulations to
Farmingdale coach Don Snyder
. p^ a the team's success.
Jim Keats, of Farmingdale, is
accepting banquet reservations.
They are $ 10 for adults and $ 5 for
students. His phone number is

Village Got Next Installment of
Federal Revenue Sharing Program
For the village of Farmingdale
the new year got off to a good
start. Sooner than anticipated
the second payment of the federal
revenue sharing program
arrived at village hall. At
Monday night's meeting of the
Board of Trustees village clerk
James McKenna read off the
figure: $ 19,407.00.
This was the second check of
possibly 20 over the next five
years. Possibly - because
although Congress passed the
federal revenue sharing act
which specifies four quarterly
payments each over five years
the program is not fully funded.
From the first check the village
received in December in the
amount of $ 20,240.00, the U. S.
Treasury withheld one per cent,
and from the payment just
received five percent of the
computed sum.
Not only is the formula used to
figure out each community's
share highly complicated and
thus susceptible to error, but the
population count may also not be
correct in every instance.
In this connection village
trustee Norman Krasnow pointed
out that this year's federal in­come
tax return, the famous-iulainous
form 1040, is utilized for
head counting On the reverse
side of form 104U, almost at the
lop, is a box carrying ( sideways)
the identification • Federal
Revenue Sharing." Every in­dividual
returning this tax form
is asked here lo clearly speed;
the locality in which lie or she
lives. In the case of Farmingdale
this would require knowledge of
the village boundaries, since not
everyone who considers Far­mingdale
his home may actually
live within the village of Far­mingdale.
Property owners should have
no problem in this regard. If they
receive their tax bill from village
hall in Farmingdale, they live in
Farmingdale proper, that is in
the village of Farmingdale,
Renters, however, who do not pay
real estate taxes, may not be so
sure. If they call Farmingdale
village hall and ask for the
clerk's office, they can make
sure.
If the term Farmingdale is
used loosely, Farmingdalers may
live in the village of Farmingdale
or either the Town of Oyster Bay
or the Town of Babylon. And in
the matter of revenue sharing,
each local government would like
to be sure that it gets credit for all
its residents from Washington.
The head tax has returned in
modern garb.
Five Farmingdalers Reach
Service Academy's " Finais"
In one of his very last functions
as representative for the Far­mingdale
area, Congressman
James R. Grover has nominated
five local boys to compete for two
Naval Academy vacancies and
one vacancy each at the Military,
Air Force and Merchant Marine
Academies. Grover was
Congressman for the old Second
Congressional District, which
took in Farmingdale. This area is
nowrepresented by newly elected
Angelo Roncallo in the newly
created third Congressional
District.
Abbey Marc Cross, of 10 Lyons
Avenue, Farmingdale and
Robert Thomas McGuire of ill
Lawrence Street. Farniingdale
were nominated for the United
States Military Academy, as well
as John Edwin Stoll. of 101 In
tervale Avenue. South Far
mingdale. Paul O. Brown, of 112
Fairview Road, Farmingdale.
was nominated for the United
States Naval Academy, while
Donald Francis DeVeux, of 59
Mill Road, Farmingdale, is in the
running for appointment to ( he
United States Air Force
Academy.
The nominees underwent a
competitive examination,
background investigation and
interviews by an impartial board.
Grover said: " These 49 can
dulates for the class entering 1973
are among the finest of our young
people. Their records are out­standing,
both academically, in
extra- curricular activities and in
service to the community 1 am
confident that this latest class
will match the fine records
compiled by the young men who
have preceded them at our
academies from the Second
Congressional District."
