Third Party Formed
Plans were announced this week for the fonnation of a new,
third party in the Lynbrook Village elections. In a letter ad-dressed
to both Christopher C. MafFucci, Sr. and Luis Berjarano,
John P. Gaudiosi, titular head of the ftewly formed Suburban
Party stated that "both the Unity and Village parties represent
only small cliques and \ ested interests.'
In an exclusive HELM in-terview
Mr. Gaudiosi, a
Queen college and St. John's
Law School graduate, gave the
reason for his resignation as a
member of the Board of Di-rectors
and chairman of Pub-lic
Relations Committee of the
Village Party as the party's re-fusal
to make certain platform
t h e Village
Party, he said, "Although they
welcomed the support of my
gioup and even appointed me
to a positiop of trust in their
party, they: Jailed to fulfill
their promises to me, much as
r believe they will fail to ful-fill
their promises to the peo-ple
of Lynbrook who are now
caught between a calloused,
incompetent, do-nothing Unity
Party and the rich enterpris-ing
self-seeking realtors of the
Village Party."
Gaudiosi went on to state
that the Subin-ban Party's ma-jor
platfonn would be to in-form
the public of important
issues and bring these issues to
a separate vote.
He pointed to the village of
Malverne as an example of the
public information possible in
the area, RJalverne has been
nationally recogiiijzed for its
outstanding public informatioa
facilities.
The other major reforms the
Suburbail Party has in their
platform include the fo*iriation
of a non-partisan Board of
Zoning Appeals, and "open"
Village Board meetings.
According to Gaudiosi, the
Suburban Party has a nucleus
of 70 to 100 persons, and "is
growing every day." The
party's candidates will be se-ected
and confirmed at an
open meeting to be held to-morrow,
Februaiy 8th, at 8:30
p.m. at the party's headquart-ers.
120 Broadway.
Luis Berjarano, Chainnan of
the Board of Directors of the
Village Party, reached by tele-phone
stated that although he
was sorry to lose the support
of Gaudiosi, he felt it would
not affect the election.

fostering of that kind of spirit which has been the source of
this country's greatiiiess.
