The extensive civic im-provement
efforts of Lynbrook,
N.Y. during the past year have
won a Distinguished
Achievement Award in the 1971
National Clean Up Contest. The
city's comprehensive scrapbook
entry was selected to receive the
award after competing with
hundreds of entries submitted by
other cities of under 25,000
population from throughout the
United States.
The National Clean Up Contest,
which is the oldest and largest
such competition in the United
States, is sponsored annually by
the National Clean Up-Paint Up-
Fix Up Bureau, a non-profit
foundation established in 1912.
This year's distinguished panel of
judges was most impressed by
the scope and variety of the city's
accomplishments and the close
cooperation shown by various
participating groups.
In recognition of the city's,
achievements, a handsomely
designed plaque will be sent to
the city's Clean Up Chairman to
be permanently displayed at
various civic functions.
"At a time when persons
everywhere are becoming in-creasingly
aware of en-vironmental
problems, it is en-couraging
to see the tremendous
results achieved by the other
people of this city who believe
that improvement can be made,
not by talking, but by actual
physical involvement on the
voluntary as well as govern-mental
level," said Patricia L.
Bishop, acting director of the
National Clean Up Bureau. "It is
our hope that other critics will
note this outstanding record of
achievement and follow the lead
of this forward-moving city."
Each city which entered the
Contest was required to submit a
scrapbook showing evidence of
all civic improvement activities
undertaken during 1971, along
with a written report outlining
the specifics involved. For
judging, the entries were divided
into three population categories
representing the total number of
people c^f)vered by their,
programs: under 25,000; between
25,000 and 250,000; and over
250,000. Using a point system, the
entries were graded by a panel of
seven judges based on the degree
of achievement and scope and
participation in such areas as
community - wide beautification,
property improvement and youth
activities. Ten trophy winners
were selected in each of the three
population categories.
with a beauty shop sink and
chair, three hair dryers, six
sewing machines, cutting tables
and a portable runway for
fashion shows.
The music mobile includes a
piano, Afro and steel drums,
electric and folk guitars, a tape
deck with an amplifying system
and an exterior stage for outside
performances.
Announce Re-Opening
Of Senate HoMine
Senator Norman J. Levy an-nounced
today the re-opening of
the Senate "hot line" through
which any citizen may call the
Senate desk and immediately be
informed of the status of any bill
introduced in.the Senate.
Senator Levy said, "A call
from anywhere in the State,
during working hours, to 800-342-
9860 would link the caller to a
computerized status retrieval
mechanism. In this way, the
caller can find out whether the
bill in which he was interested is
in a committee, has been
reported out or is awaiting final
action by the Senate."
Levy continued. The "hot line"
was inaugurated last year and
was receiving an average of
about 300 calls a day from
citizens concerned with
legislative developments."
"Callers utilizing the service
are billed for the price of a local
call," Levy concluded.
