m its entirety beginning at 8:00

the Boys award to Al Langton, Plainview
High School at Commack Arena.
The highlight of Boys and school students not members of
Girls work for the Kiwanis Long
Island North Division was a foul
shooting contest at Commack
Arena,
Fifteen high schools in the
division participated in the con­test
which was open to all high
a varsity team. ,
Following the playoffs in the
respective high schools, the win­ners
participated in a division
play off at the Commack Arena.
Division winners were Denise

Al Langton of Plainview High.
time. The conference is being
jointly sponsored by the
Metropolitan Regional Council
and the Regional Plan
Association.
"Bringing these meetings,
which would otherwise be limited
to only hundreds of people, right
into the homes of the Bethpage
area and all of Long Island is a
major function of Channel 21 as a
community station," said
General Manager William J.
Pea'rce. "The information
available in these and similar
meetings can be vital to us all in
reaching decisions that will af­fect
ourmode of life on Long
Island. We intend," he continued,
"to broadcast as majnyaf^&rese
'instant documenlg||||lKJras
possible." ^f
Channel 21's ability t<
such programs regularly,
however, wilt be determined in
good part by financial means.
Renting the mobile units needed
to televise the Governor's town
meeting and the Conference on
the Future of Nassau County will
cost in excess of $3,000.
According to Pearce, Channel
21 is now seeking funds that will
let the station purchase its own
mobile unit. "We hope that we
can interest Long Island business
and industry, as well as private
citizens, in contributing to such a
fund," he said. "Private foun­dations
have already expressed
interest in financing specific
program ideas involving Long
Island. But without a mobile unit
we will be hard pressed to get
them under way."
The questions to come under
discussion at the Nassau County
Conference at Hofstra will in­volve
employment, housing,
transportation, school taxes, and
the arts. Speakers will include
the Conference co-chairman,
Nassau County Executive
Eugene Nickerson and Arthur
Roth, chairman of the board of
Franklin National Bank; John
Calbreath Burdis, planning

Mrs. Frank Hynes On Visiting Nurse Board
When nursing service such as this
is available, patients may often
leave the hospital earlier, cutting
down on the high cost of care and
releasing badly needed beds in
the hospital.
The nurses give bedside care,
instruction, treatments,
dressings and injections on an
hourly basis under a Odor's
written orders. The present fee
for service is the same as that of
the Health Department, $9.00 pec
visit. Fees are adjusted ac-
