Tobay To Expand
Activities For
Senior Citizens
The 1971 recreation program
run by the Tobay Senior Citizens
Division will include overall
expansion of pre-existing
programs as well as additional
services, according to a
statement issued last week by
Town Supervisor John W. Burke.
Burke cited the Volunteer
Program as an example.
"Heretofore, this program has
been aiming basically at
assisting the handicapped
patients at the Suffolk State
Hospital in Melville," he said.
"But we expect to expand this
volunteer program to utilize
some senior citizens as teacher's
aides and use others to work on
more service projects such as
Phone-a Friend.
"One of the goals we have set
for the year ahead is to reach the
-Toner/-* among^the elderly: -
.those who. do not make friends
easily and who do not participate
in our present programs", Burke
declared.
Burke reported the Town also
plans to get involved in the health
aspect—providing a service by
making senior citizens more
aware of the need for and ways to
. obtain medical advice and
assistance.
"Continuing efforts will, be
made to get local bus and cab
companies to provide reduced
rates for the elderly", he added.
Burke said the Town was
pleased with the progress in the
development of a Senior Action
Council. Bi-partisan in approach,
the Council is composed of
seniors who are presently
working for "Senior Power" by
. trying to get school boards to
match the Town's new law on tax
exemptions for the elderly, he
explained.

Commission To Study
Pollution Of Sound
"GRUMMAN EXECUTIVE HONORED": At a ceremony held, at
the Grumman Aerospace Corp., Bethpage, Richard Bolton was
presented with a certificate of appreciation by the commanding of­ficer
of the New York recruiting area, for outstanding service to the
United States Navy. Bolton helped put together a "Navy Day"
display for the U.S. NAVY'S 195th birthday. It was visited by about
1M.9M Long Islanders.

Franklin Bear, Chairman of
the Nassau County Planning
Commission, announced Monday
that the Commission's Nov. 18
Public , Hearing, concerning
pollution in the waters
surrounding Nassau County,
would examine in full depth all
sources of pollutants and . . ."not.
just that which emanates from
our own County."
Bear emphasized that the Long
Island Sound was a drainage
basin for rivers and streams
throughout the New England
••'States.;-
*?!• "Industrial wastes, sewage,
silt are; eventually washed into
our northern waters. We cannot
obtain a clear picture of the
causes of pollution to our bays,
and harbors, indeed the whole
Sound, if we ignore the prime
sources. -It is -only—after
examining all the facts that we
will be in a position to recom­mend
corrective action", he
stated.
Bear explained that the Public
Hearing was designed to im­plement
a comprehensive study
of Nassau's salt water pollution
problems. He said the study
would also take into con­sideration
the many previous
reports made on pollution of the
South Shore waters as well as the
Long Island Sound.
Bear said that the Commission
would hear testimony from
qualified representatives of state
and local governments; colleges
and universities, and from
private conservationists.

to open at 10 a.m. and close at-4
p.m. and will take place in the
Nassau County Board of
Supervisors Hearing Room, Fifth
Floor, Executive Building, One
West Street, Mineola, New York.
Bear declared the Commission
was also vitally concerned with
other sources of pollution, such as
the tons of sediment that are
dumped into Long Island Sound
as the result of dredging;
discarded demolition materials; '
and the untreated sewage that
enters the western portion of the
Sound from New York City.
"Each day 350 million gallons
of untreated sewage flows into
the Hudson and East Rivers from
the City," Bear pointed out. "It is
imperative that we know just how
much of this sewage enters the
Sound so that legal and financial
preventative measures can be
taken."
The Commission "does not
intend to merely come up with
another report", stated Bear. He
said that after the findings of the
study were completed, the
Commission would strongly press
for whatever action was deemed
necessary.

Long island are subjects for
