New Mass At
Sf. Raymond "is
The CYO Youth Council of St.
Raymond's Church has invited all
members of the community to
come and hear a folk-type mass
on Saturday, December 4th, at
9 a.m. There will be a rehear-sal
at 8:45 for those who would
like to join in the singing.
Rather than the more familiar
Gregorian music, the American
Mass, as sung by Father Rivers
on a popular recording, is made
up of folk-type music played on
the guitar. Knowledge of this New
American Mass is not too wide
spread.
Three students and a teaching
Brother from Chaminade - two
guitarists and two singers - will
present this Mass at St. Raymo-nd's.
The Mass has been well
received when presented at Cha-minade
and a great deal of inter-est
in hearing this form of Mass
has been shown.
County Stirs Up
Road Protests

East Rockse^My was read at the
open Board Meeting in which the
Nassau County Commissioner of
Public Works announced that en-gineers
had completed plans for
improving East Rockaway Road-known
as Main Street within the
Village. There are four danger-ous
curves throughout the road-way
and for many years it has
been known that the County would
eventually take some action, but
the big issue now is WHAT the
County is going to do.
The County expects to begin
work shortly after the first of
the year and the project should
be completed by December, 1966.

Nobody in any official capacity
had been able to get information
from the County wheth^ir this
would be a 4-Iane, 6-lane or
(and it could happen) an 8-lane
project. THE HELM contacted
Commissioner Gibbons' office
and was advised by his public re-lations
man that four driving
lanes are planned, but no definite
decision has been made whether
there will also be parking lanes.
They are beginning immediately
to put down a non-skid surface
as an interim step.
County officials have in the
past stated they would not alle-viate
any dangerous road condi-tions
imtil they were ready to wi-
