Fashion Show Big Success
For Junior Women's Club
lVv .Joan Cablp
A living tribute was paid the
endeavors and undertaking of
Belhpage's Junior Women's
Club, as over 500 women joined
them in their annual dinner and
fashion show held at the Four
Season Country Club in Wood­bury
this past Tuesday night,
Feb. 16.
All proceeds from the program
the community are considering to
be one of the most desirable
events of the community for
women with.a "must attend"
flair.
Mrs. Weeks and the other 25
members of the Club have taken
great strides in exerting
programs within this community
that continually prove them-iiwf

To Aid Library
A steering committee of the
proposed Friends of the
Plainedge Public Library met
this week to seek to find ways and
mean& of supporting the library's
efforts to provide better service
to the community. Al Talmadge
of Massapequa acted as tem­porary
chairman.
At the meeting several
possibilities ,were discussed in­cluding
helping to publicize and
gain support for the forthcoming
budget, providing a hospitality
committee to serve refreshments
at special library programs,
recruiting volunteers to prepare
program mailings and in­vestigating
the possibility of
providing library service to shut-in
residents. i
Concerning the shut- in service,

To be one of the many women
in attendance, and to be able to
embrace the kinship and com­panionship
of so many of the
people, certainly added to the
delight of the occasion.
I am most appreciative of the
warm public introduction Club
President Mrs. Barbara Weeks
afforded me. Having worked with
many members of the Club in the
past I am quite knowledgeable of
their program and .their con­tribution
to the Bethpage Com­munity.
Reflective of their continual
achievements is the making of
this annual Fashion Show dinner-event
into what many women in
the benches by the bus stops, the
cement plantings on Broadway,
sewing contest, beautification,
scholarship funds, all sponsored
and directed by the Junior
Women's Club. .
The fashions by A. & S were a
delight, the dinner excellent, but
above all the opportunity to join
so- many women from the
Community. To be able to par­ticipate
in a program along with
the Junior Womens Club of Beth­page
in providing a scholarship
fund for the Bethpage High
School- was most rewarding.
A special "Bouquet of Roses"
to all .you Jr. Women and to all
who jojned them Tuesday

limited but comprehensive
program of expert training in the
field of athletics and the arts.
Major emphasis will also be
