VOL. 9 NO. 52 i U i t ' f t ^ f • Second-Class Matter
Post Office, Lvnbrook. N. Y. LY 3-1300 THE FAMILY NEWSPAPER Thursday, May 28,1970
New 5th C .D.
STATE SENATOR NORMAN F. LENT, Republican candidate for
Congress, holds aloft the new court-approved 5th Congressional
District map. Contrary to Rep. Allard K. Lowenstein's charges
of Republican "gerrymandering," the new 5th C.D. gives Mr. Lowen-stein
a registration edge more favorable than he had in his last
election.
At bottom, Lent shows what he considers a hatchet job of the
district—Liberal party gerrymandering of the 5th CD, drawn to
favor their candidate Lowenstein. This map, rejected by the U.S.
Supreme Court, cuts across village and county lines, wandering
well into Queens County to pick up heavily-Democratic areas.

and is now preparing to enter New York University Dental School,
The judge favors all shades of blue like 99% of American males
and is a slim, compact 5 ft, 7 in, in height. He definitely has the
look of authority that sometimes comes to those who are in his
position but with an innate kindliness and understanding that is very
rare in this day and age. He has a great compassion for the youth
of America and has high hopes for greater understanding between
many of them and the older generations.
During the term of the late Lynbrook Mayor Ross he was appointed
in Oct, 1947 to fill out the term of the late Charles Schweitzer, He
ran for election in 1948 and has been re-elected ever since.
The Judge has a deep love for the community of Lynbrook and its
residents and pointed out that 90% of our people usually go to local
vUlage courts during dieir lives and the contact that they receive
there with the law is extremely important in our democracy. Judge
Zelby is a member of the American Bar Assoc,, the New York Bar
Assoc., a member of the New York State Executive Committee of
the N.Y, State Magistrates Assoc., a member of the Nas-sau
Magistrates Assoc., a member of the Lawyers Club
of New York, a member of Modin Lodge, Masonic Temple, a Noble
Member of the Kismet Temple of the Shriners and a Vice-President
of Congregation Beth David. His court has won two awards from the
American Bar Assoc, The first award was the only one given in the
state of New York and the second in the U.S. He is also a former
Trustee of the Y.M.H.A. of Central Nassau,
In 1964, Judge Zelby was awarded the highly prized and coveted
"Justitia" award from the American Bar Assoc, for his outstanding
achievements in community relations, public information, corrective
penal objectives and educational practices. This is such a great
honor conferred on Judge Zelby, that he certainly must be a remark-able
judge and a fine man in every sense of the word. He prays that
there be more "understanding hearts" on the part of both the younger
and older generations and that both seek greater compassion and
patience in working out differences of opinion. If the old saw is
true, that to really know what a man is like, ask either his wife
or his secretary. Judge Zelby is the most admired and respected
gentleman in town with a built in loyal fan club right in his own office
and home.
He plays golf, but particularly enjoys photography and the fine
outdoor sport of swimming. Judge Zelby loves Sarasota, Florida,
