IS THAT MY CAR? That's probably the question tliat the owner asked when he returned to pick up his
car after having it sei-viced at the Esso Service Station located at the comer of Sunrise and Vincent, last
Thm-sday. A mechanic working on the car, accidentally broke a drop light. Sparks from the light ignited
gasoline on the fuel pump and within seconds the car was a blazing mass. Lynbrook Vamps were able to keep
the damage to the building at a minimum by pulling the "inferno" from inside the garage. Damage to the car
and gai-adge was estimated at over $3,000.

Malverne Routs V,S.
South In Division Opener
By Larry Hirschenbaum
In a game highlighted by the near abscence of officiating,
the Malverne Mules led by Wandy Williams and Richie Sana-bria
ran Valley Stieam South off the court. South was outclassed
by the taller Mules from the start but South had a one point edge
at the end of the first quarter because of excessive Malverne foul-ing.
Wandy, an all-Long Island selec-tion
of the New York News, had
only thre(^ points in the first quar-ter
but picked up eight more froni
the outside in the second quarter.
Hichie Sanabria did a tremendous
job for the Mules mider the boards.
Malvcrne's cool ])all liandler, Curt
Fisher, ran into foul trouble in tlie
first ([iiarter as the referees called
three unprecedented m i s e r a b le
charging fouls. In the second period,
junior Andy Travis jilayed up to the
occasion as Cloacli Hay Nerrie sub-stituted
him for Cnrt Fisher.
'I'he final score was Malverne 73
and V.S. South 49. The Mules were
led by Wandy Williams who had
23 i)oints and Hichie Sanabria witli
2 J . Kichard I.obell led South with
21 points but he seemed to have the
reis in the palm of his hand as
got them to call at least 10 charging
fouls in las fav(n-.
In the fourth (juarter Wandy
brought the ball up the court with
three and four )nen fouling him but
the refs supposedly saw nothing ex-cept
fall-down Lobell.
School Board Initiates
Reciprocal Exchange To
Improve Racial Balance
As a further step to reduce the concentration of Negro
pupils at the Woodfield Road School in the Union Free School
District No. 12, the Board of Education announced last Tuesday,
March 10, a plan for the reciprocal exchange of students among
the three elementary schools beginning in September of this year.
In tlie absence of Dr. H. J.
DeNoie, Board President, who Avas
absent because of a professional con-ference,
the announcement was made
by Luis E. Bejarano, First Vice
Presitlent of the Board and Chair-man
of the public meeting held at
the Malverne Junior High School
auditoriiun.
The plan encourages residents
whose children now attend the ca-pacity-
filled schools in the predomi-nantly
white area.s of the djstrij:! J o
join the initiative taken by the
Board to continue to help improve
the racial balance of all three ele-mentary
schools within prescribed
legal bounds.
The plan is directed to all grades
from kindergarten through Grade 5.
All pupils of the district in Grades
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, n , and 12, are already
in optimum balance since they are
attending common facilities, the
Junior High School and the Senior
High School buildings in the geo-graphical
center of the district. This
is the third major stej) taken by the
Board in its eflorts to resolve ?'chool
problems created by the racial resi-dential
pattenis of the irea.
Students Reassigned
In 1960 about 170 pupils mostly
Negro, previously attending the
Woodfield Road School and living
nearest to the Davison Avenue and
Lindner Place Schools, were a'^slgn-ed
to the latter schools as vaca'-icics

TAP Issues
Statement On
Board Proposal Wlien asked what he thought of
the Malverne School Board proposal
that would allow parents to send
children to the .schot)! of their choice,
Charles' Rear(loii, CTiairman of TAP
issued the following statement:
"TAP congratulates our school
board on its offer to permit parents
to transfer white and Negro chil-dren
among our three prhnary
schools. We salute any move which
increases the privileges of parents to
choose the school of their desire for
their child. Such a move is an in-t-
rease in oin' liberty and is as wel-comed
to us as the odious Princeton
Plan, which curtailed everyones lib-erty,
was repugnant to us. If this
is to be called a compromise, it 'is
the best kind of compromise since
it leaves Neighborhood Schools for
those Negro and white parents who
pn^fer Neighborhood Schools to
racial balance, and gives opportu-nity
for gr(uiter racial balance to
those who prefer racial balance to
Neighborhood Schools.
"TAP has never fought for Neigh-borhood
Schools alone, but only for
