Umberto lusi receives plaque of appreciation from
former Congressman Frank Becker
Becker who presented a plaque
from the Republican Club; in-cumbent
State Senator Norman
"Yesterday and Tomorrow"
were the themes of the June 5th
meeting of the Lynbrook
Republican Club as long-time
Lynbrook resident, Umberto lusi
and Louis Milone, Jr., candidate
for the New York State Assembly
shared the spotlight at the Club's
last meeting before the summer
recess.
Club President Robert G.
Becker introduced Milone, Rock-ville
Centre attorney, and
Republican candidate for the 19th
Assembly District.
Milone, sounding the
"Tomorrow" theme, called upon
the more than 150 club members
and their guests to keep on
working for the "high-calibre
Republicans who represent us
and make the voice of Lynbrook,
USA, loud and clear in the State
legislature." The 19th Assembly
District includes Lynbrook as
well as other communities for
whom, Milone said, "You've got
to work. You gotta believe! To
preserve and enhance the ideals
and values of the people of
Lynbrook."
Umberto lusi, of 206 Tottenham
Road, sounded the same note in
accepting the club's surprise
tribute to him as a devoted,
dedicated citizen and Republican
club worker since 1945. lusi, who
is moving to Mt. Kisco, N.Y. to
live near his children and
grandchildren, told the club that
he will get involved in Republican
affairs there and keep on working
for the people. His tomorrows
will be like his yesterdays, he
said, "I will continue to serve til
the day I die." Honors and
tributes were presented to lusi by
former Congressman Frank
Levy, former Lynbrook resident,
read a letter from Governor
Malcolm Wilson who expressed
his appreciation and gratitude to
lusi; and Deputy Mayor Kurt
Arndt expressed the appreciation
of the Village of Lynbrook on
behalf of Mayor Francis Becker.
Service to people and com-munity
were also the keynotes of
a brief talk by Father Mortimer
Kane, Lynbrook resident who
returns to his home town oc-casionally
from his work as a
missionary in Africa. Father
Kane described some of the
problems of the emerging "Third
World" people he tries to help in
their attempt to survive and
prosper economically as well as
spiritually. The Club voted to
present a donation to the Holy
Ghost order for which F'ather
Kane works.
Consistent with its policy of
aiding many worthy causes, the
Club also voted a $100 donation to
FISH, Inc., a non-sectarian
volunteer organization which
performs a wide range of ser-vices
to Lynbrook residents as
well as to other communities
through its chapters throughout
the County.
President Bob Becker an-nounced
that the Club would
resume its regular meeting
schedule in the F'all; the meeting
was concluded with a benediction
by F'ather Kane. The collation
following the meeting was
supervised by Max Wiesenthal of
Glenwood Avenue, and was
enjoyed by all.

An even greater need than
usual is anticipated by North
Shore University Hospital during
the summer months for its Blood
Bank.
A hospital spokesman ex-plained
that the lowest blood
inventories at the hospital are
experienced during mid-summer
and during the Christmas
holidays. Donors participating in
the hospital's Volunteer Blood
Bank Program establish
unlimited blood coverage for
their immediate family for one
year after the donation.
The entire blood-drawing
process takes only about twenty
minutes aijd is painless. Ap-proximately
ten thousand pints of
blood are used by North Shore
each year and the hospital is
barely keeping up with the
demand. Supplies of some types
TRIAL BY FIRE: Hempstead Town Supervisor A1 D'Amato and East
Rockaway Fire Chief John Baron! discuss the results of flammability
tests run on inexpensive, imported wall paneling at the Nassau County
Firemens' Traming Center in Old Bethpage: The tests were made to
buttress charges that the paneling contributed to the deaths, in fires
earlier this year, of a 9-month old boy and a 23-year-old man, both of
East Rockaway. In one dramatic test, the imported paneling was
scorched, burned through and totally engulfed in flames within two
minutes.
Blood Donors Needed At NSULT
have run critically low and
regional blood facilities have not
always been able to provide the
replenishment, particularly of
whole blood, which is needed.
A special phone number has
been set up at the hospital to
make arrangements for volun-teer
blood donor appointments.
Residents of the area are asked
to call North Shore at 562-2098 for
an appointment.
