education and his
personal attitude in relation
to the public trust. The men
fo the Lynbrook Police

only choice for the position

Rock Rivalry
Tickets On Sale
by Mildred Roemer
Now that the snowdrops
are about to push through
the ground, the Grist Mill
Committee is beginning to
think about improving and
changing exhibits in the
Museum. A meeting was
held last week at ye histori-an's
home and tentative
assignments were given each
member to take charge of
the various exhibits. In this
way each person has the
responsibility of taking care
of a certain area and takes
pride in it. One improve-ment
discussed was moving
the large carousel of clip-pings
on the upper floor to a
space near the schoolroom.
This would give more room
for the ever-popular scrap
books. Old newspaper clip-pings
and books keep com-ing
in to add to the collec-tion.
Recently a pile of
yellowing papers was given
pertaining to George
Washington, the battle of
L.I. and his opinion of L.l.
These had been published in
"Review-Star" a Lynbrook
newspaper.
Not just clippings but
other valuable donations
have been enlarging the
growing collection of uni-forms
and battle memorabi-lia.
Dr. Herbert C. Mayer of
Scranton Avenue, who is
moving to Florida, gave his
Navy medics jackets, uni-form,
overcoats, helmets,
gas mask, searchlight, and
other articles from WWIL
Probably when the Museum
doors open on Memorial
day, the members in charge
of the costume corner, Mary
Gipson and Che Bell, wi41
have them on display along
with World War 1, Spanish
American War, and Civil-
War uniforms.
A new sound system to
explain exhibits to visitors is
being explored. That would
be most helpful, but expert
opinions will have to be
sought. Have any? The
committee is also looking
forward to the general gath-ering
at the first Huckle-berry
Frolic meeting that
chairman John D. Krull has
scheduled for March 12 in
the Village Hall.
