As part of its Alliance for
Progress with the incorporated
villages within its borders,

through the State Education
Department to expand its senior
citizens recreation program,
according to Hempstead Town
Presiding Supervisor Ralph G.
Caso.
Warren Shaver, the State
Education Department's chief of
special continuing education, has
agreed to contact the mayors of
Hempstead^,,22^villages „to in­form

same amounts the town receives
from the state from each senior
citizen enrolled in its 77 golden
age clubs.
"In line with my idea of part­nership
government with our
villages, it would behoove all
concerned if the villages would
apply for the aid they are entitled
to," Caso commented.
The villages could contract
with the town to run their
programs and the additional
state aid would enable us to
expand and develop these
programs." Caso pointed out.
At the present time, senior
citizens in all the villages are
participating in club activities
run by the town's office of Ser­vices
for the Aging usually in
th boards of
munity groups.
