Industrial Home For The Blind
Mrs. John Badey of Lynbrook,
President of the Rockville
Centre-Oceanside League for The
Industrial Home for the Blind,
suggests a recipe to dispel the
dreary and gloomy days of this
winter: "Make reservations
($5.85 a person) to attend the
League's gala luncheon and rip-off,
Wednesday, February 28, to
be held at Carl Hoppl's
restaurant on Sunrise Highway,
opposite the Long Island railroad
station in Baldwin." The en-tertainment
is under the direc-tion
of Mrs. Wilbur Belcher with
the "Music for Fun Group of the
Fortnightly Club of Rockville
Centre".
The "Music for Fun Group"
will take the audience for a
whirlwind tour of old-time radio
programs, and, for contrast,
bring new light on the latest in the
Women's Liberation movement.
Reservations for cocktails at
noon and/or luncheon at 1 P.M.,
may be made by calling Mrs.
Evelyn Hartman at the IHB
Nassau Service Center, IVanhoe

Personalities Annette Ling
Edward J. Martin, one of the
most promising young men in
Lynbrook is the son of Edward
and Marie Martin, 22 Lenox Ave.,
Lynbrook. He has one brother,
John, a student in his Freshmen
year at Lynbrook High School.
Ed's father is a New York City
Fireman and his mother is a
teacher at West Hempstead High
School. Ed's paternal grand-parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Martin are residents of Medford,
Long Island.
Ed was born in Bro(^lyn like so
many other local people, but his
family moved to East Rockaway
and then to Lynbrook for their
permanent home and Ed entered
kindergarten. He graduated from
St. Raymond's School and later,
Lynbrook High School and is now
a Political Science major at St.
John's University in Jamaica,
N.Y.
The interesting and rather
unusual thing about young Ed is
his great interest in national
issues and his desire to help and
get ir'volved which far too many
people of die:-. would rather
not do. After all, it wc live in a
democracy there will have lo bn
well informed and experienced
leaders to take the place of the
elected representatives we are
fortunate to have now. Ed is
hoping for a career in Law and
also continues to gain experience
and knowledge in what makes
our democratic processes tick.
Ed firmly believes that not only
the average young voter but all
voters should carefully evaluate
important issues in our country
and not "depend upon the New
York Times" and T.V. Political
Commentators to make our
decisions for us.
He is a large-boned and athletic
6 ft. 2 inc. and loves playing
baseball and football and
practically all sports. He has
brown hair and blue eyes and is
very alert and knowledgeable. He
is a fine natural speaker and is
excellent in his power to think on
his feet and to make telling points
if there is a powerful debate upon
some controversial subject. He
also likes to play the piano and
leads a very full and busy life
what with his college studies and
his active interests and work
outside of school hours.
He decided to become a
Political Science major because
of his interest in politics and
hopes to enter Law School and
obtain further experience and
