Town Lists Job Openings
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor
Joseph Colby announced that a
list developed by the Town
Division of Commerce, Industry
and Labor showing job. op­portunities
in private industries
within the Town will be posted at
Town facilities.
" In contacting some 800
businesses within the Town to
obtain various information about
their needs, Colby said, " The
division was able to put together
a list of more than 25 companies
within our Town which have.
immediate employment
openings."
While the Town has been able
to relieve some of the unem­ployment
problems through
development of programs
allowing for County hiring of the
unemployment problems through
development of programs
allowing for County Wring of the
unemployed through a federally
funded program, Colby noted
that employment through private
industry better assists the Town
and the unemployed.
" There is no doubt that the
taxpayer who supports various
levels of government cannot
afford to solve the unemployment
problems of the nation through
government hiring," Colby said.
" In addition to providing
revenue, rather than
representing a government
expenditure/ jobs in private in­dustry
can offer the individual a
far greater opportunity for ad­vancement
than the federally
funded job opportunities."
The list offering immediate
opportunities and soon- to- be-available
positions, is expected to.
be posted at the Town Clerk's
offices in Town Hall, Oyster Bay,
and at the Town Hall Annexes in
Hicksville and Massapequa. The
public will be able to inspect it
from 9 a. m. to 4: 45 p. m., Monday
through Friday.
" The list shows a need for a
great variety of talents," Colby
said. " There are openings for
trainees and managers, sales
personnel and assemblers. The
businesses include printers,
brokerage firms, clothing
manufacturers, distributors and
many more."
All the businesses are located
within the Town but some
positions may require an em­ployee
to work from an office or
plant outside the Town. " There
are a great number of op­portunities
being offered and I
hope those who have been looking
for employment will take ad­vantage
of the information
compiled by our Division of
Commerce, Industry and
Labor," Colby added.
Free Trade Zone
Would Boost Jobs
A longstanding program
. sponsored by Assemblyman
Philip B. Healey to produce
expanded economic and em­ployment
opportunity in Nassau
County through creation of a
Free Trade Zone has been passed
by the Assembly.
Assemblyman Healey said . hat
the measure passed in the Senate
under the sponsorship of Senator
Ralph J. Marino and has been
sent to the Governor for enact­ment
into law.
" Under this bill, Nassau
County would be empowered to
set up a Free Trade Zone to in­crease

In cooperation with Farmingdale Village Mayor John
T. Hallahan and the Board of Trustees, Green & White
Taxi announced a five for one senior citizen fare
program. The taxi will transport up to five senior
citizens from any one location in the incorporated
village to any other single location within the village
between the hours of 9: 30 a. m. and 3 p. m. for only one
dollar per trip.
MTA Rills
Wait Carey's
Signature
Two bills introduced by State
Senator Owen H. Johnson ( R- 4),
Lewis Yevoli ( 10th A. D.), and
Philip R. Healey ( llth AD.) of
special interest to taxpayers in
the Farmingdale School District
are now before the Governor.
- Both bills relate to Republic
Airport and the land it has taken
off the tax rolls, in the district.
The first bill, S 2866- A, provides
that the Farmingdale district will
receive payment of 50 percent of
the gross rent proceeds for leases
at Republic Airport, this could
mean up to $ 180,000 more in
revenue to the district.
The second Johnson bill ( S 3073-
B) authorizes the MTA to enter

This means if five seniors
share the taxi the cost to each
would be twenty cents per trip. If
four people ride, then the cost
would be 25 cents per person per
trip, etc. The trip must start at
ring tviint ajjH gJld S* OHC OOint
without pick- up or drop- off stops
in between- Under this plan, a
group of five senior citizens could
meet at one central location in
their neighborhood and ride the
taxi to any store in the village,
including the last remaining
supermarket, Waldbaums, and
the trip would cost $ 1.
Arrangements for the return trip
can be made with the driver or a
call made to the Green & White
office. The return trip would also
cost only $ 1. Total cost to each of
the five seniors sharing the taxi
would be only 40 cents for the
round trip.
The senior citizen tickets will
not be used in this program,
however, they do remain in effect
for individual rides as in the past.
Under this program, with a book

tivity," said Healey. " Essen­tially,
a large area of land could
be set aside for the storage of
imported goods. This would in­volve
the construction of
warehouses which would provide
countless new jobs for the con­struction
industry. This, in turn,
would create employment op­portunity
and many hundreds of
other jobs could be opened up in
numerous other related services
and industries.

government since this en­courages
