Re-Election in
District 12
Fred A. Hook, 121 Rider Avenue,
Malveme has announced his can-didacy
for re-election to the Union
Free School District 12 Board of
Etlucation. Mr. Hook, a graduate of
the University of Illinois, is a Certi-fied
Public Accountant and is an ex-ecutive
with StandardOil Company
(New Jersey).
He lias served on tlie Board of
Education since May 15, 1959 when

elected in 1960 for tlie balance of
tlie term and to a full three year

The above words were spoken by
Anthony DeMaio, owner of l.yn-brook
Engraving Co. whenasked
why he re-located a thriving busi-ness,
moving it from New York City
to Lynbrook.
Mr. DeMaio has spent 40 years in
the engraving business, 19 of tliese
years he has had his own business.
He moved his family to Lynbrook in
1955, btit still maintained the flour-ishing
business in New York. In July
of 1963, he decided to move the
business to Lynbrook also, because
he thought there was a need for
quality workmanship in the area and
that tlie area would support such a
venture.
Mr. DeMaio loves the engraving
business and is proud of the high
standards of quality he has main-tained
over the many years he has
been in business. Although he does
work for large concerns on a volume
basis, no job is too small, and the
consmner coming in for engraved
cards or stationery gets the same
workmanship and quality.
At present, his son helps fn the
business but he plans to leave soon
to study electrical engineering. His
oldest boy graduated from Lynbrook
High School and his oldest daughter
will graduate this year. Two other
children attend Our Lady of Peace
School in Lynbrook.
Mr. IX'Maio is a member of the
Elks, Brooklyn Lodge #22, and is
active in local civic affairs.
If you need quality, engraving visit
the shop at 181 Sunrise Highway
Anyone who has as much faith in
the community as Mr. DeMaio de-sei-
ves the support of the whole area.
Not only will you get the highest
quality engraving but you will be
showing your support for enteipris-ing
businessmen who are building
up the village and surrounding areas.

Lynbrook Budget
Approved ^ -
At the Village Board meeting Mon-day
night the budget for the next
fiscal year was approved. This bud-get
calls for an increase in tlie tax
rate from $2.42 per $100 assessed
valuation to $2.68. This increase is
almost wholly due to increases in
salaries for all village personnel. All
employees of the village will receive
a 5% salary increase.
Although this budget calls for an
increase in the tax rate of 26<-, the
cost of all services and commodities
is rising and the budget must in-crease
accordingly.

taxpayers to supply free off

workers to remedy hazzards to lives
of our children and conjestion crea-ted
by the present administration's
stupidity.
"The Mayor admitted. that his
statement made two week's ago that
'one dollar a year would be the only
cost to the taxpayers of Lynbrook
for this fiekr was a fivlsehood.
"He said at last Monday night's
Board meeting 'the Village would
be responsible for snow removal,
policing, and maintenance of the
field.' This would cost the taxpayer
way beyond the dolllar per year.
"He further accused the Village
Party for being responsible for the
removal of parking meters from the
Forest Ave. Parking field. He claimed
that people from Massapequa, Mer-rick,
& iPatchogue were getting free
parking in the Forest Ave. field. If
