LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity
to thank you for your
kind editorial endorsing the reelection
of •' Mr', Weathers and
myself.
Through your paper I would
also like to express appreciation
to all those who assisted in the
campaign and to those who case
their Vote for me.
I shall enjoy working with Mr.
Weathers again and shall make
every effort to serve the community
in a most conscientious
manner.

Dear Editors:
" Two wrongs don't make a
right," your editorial last week
was one that Peter Zenger
wouldn't have written any differently.
This country has it's share
of radicals, but foremost we
have millions of tolerant Americans,
I am sure they are the
majority, who stand smack in
the middle of things.
These people tolerate extremists
due to their firm belief in
our American heritage, in the
firm belief that democracy
works!
Democracy! — That is the real
issue here.
Therefore, I feel that the editorial
titled " Two Wrongs"
helped to bring to the attention
the basic issue - which was not
whether Mr. Gorton was wrong
or right, but rather whether he
was entitled to a fair hearing or
not.
That alone was the purpose
of the editorial, as I understood
it.
H. Hoffman
P. S. This past Sunday afternoon
I had the opportunity of speaking
with a group of youngsters at the
Farmingdale Public Library a-bout
this incident:
Let me say this:
It was a refreshing experience
to hear them discuss this matter
in a calm, objective and intelligent
way.
Clean- cut, level headed teen
agers, giving up a Sunday after-
Page 12
noon movie to perform their
civic duty in our Democracy.
Their parents can be proud of
them and our country has nothing
to worry about if we adults encourage
them to be fair, objective
and above all - tolerant!
I cannot quite agree with them
on the comparison of some passages
from the Bible with
page 144 of the " Paris Review."
Yes, they had different opinions
on this subject among themselves.
No, these youngsters were not
" out of order as some of the
adults were" at Tuesday night's
board meeting.
H. H.
Gentlemen:
It is obvious, by the point of
his attack, that Carl Gorton is
interested in driving a Bircher
Wedge into our community. I
deplore the fact that he has done
so with the support of even a
small part of this community.
The support given Carl Groton
i s a negation of the fine job our
library has done for this community.
Carl Gorton says that he is an
American. It seems to me that
one particular quality that characterizes
an American is a respect
for titie law and its processes.
By his action, Carl
Gorton has shown his contempt
for a system we, as a community,
endorse and support with
our tax dollars.
I attended the meeting you
describe as a " KangarooCourt,"
and feel that if anything, great
patience and forebea ranee was
shown on the part of the board.
Dr. Meyer stein made it a point
to offer the hand of friendship if
the confiscated property were
returned. Carl Gorton was condemned
only for having removed
illegally a book from one library
shelf, and not, as you stated in
your editorial, for his membership
in the John Birch Society.
I can only wish that you had
seen' fit to editorialize so emotionally
when this illegal action
took place. A stand on your part
for law and order might have pre-

vented what has occurred; the intervention
in our community affairs
of a self- styled vigilante.
Anneke Sakellariou
To the Editor:
It is evident that your editorial
juggling attempts to place Carl
Gorton in a favorable light.
Rather than clearly defending
his position, you chose to condemn
the library board and its
actions along with the spectators
present at last weeks board meeting.
The analogies you use to describe
the scene in the library
last Tue sday night a re outrageous
and indefensible. So much so
in fact, that it is ridiculous to
assume that you could even attempt
to influence the thinking
people of this community with
such nonsense.
Mrs. G. Hall
Dear Sir,
I attended the Library Board
meeting last week. After reading
the many letters, including
your editorial, I began to wonder
if I was actually there.
The issue and the decision
that the trustees had to make
were not, how Mr. Gorton would
act, nor how the library board
would deal with the question of
pornography. The letters - you
received mentioned obscenities
in the library, discussions of the
evil of censorship, the fact that
parents rightfully do not want
their children to read smut.
The question at issue wasn't
was the article vulgar or pornographic.
The question facing the
trustees was what action should
be taken against Mr. Gorton for
stealing a book from the library.
This was the only issue that had
to be resolved. If the residents
at this meeting shouted and pointed
fingers our library board
should not have to bear the responsibility
of the emotional air
that existed.
They did not censure Mr. Gorton
because he felt the Paris
Review was pornographic. They
censured him because he
" stole" a book and given the opportunity
to return it had refused.
After die record number of
K, idget defeats during school voting
in Suffolk and Nassau Counties
this month, it appears obvious
that die taxpayer's back is bending,
if not already broken. When
43 school budgets are defeated,
you've got a taxpayer's revolt.
Of course, school taxes aren't
the only levy, although diey're
the heaviest. What with town and
county taxes, village taxes,
special district costs, state incomes
taxes and sales tax, me
burden looms larger every year.
But as your Congressman, let me
tell you that nowhere do New
Yorkers face a more inequitable
situation man in their federal
taxes. Residents of New York
State are paying mightily to subsidize
60 per cent of me nation.
How can anything that sounds
as good as " federal aid" turn
out so bad for New York State?
The picture of benign federal officials
pouring funds into New
York State should bring a slight
mist to every taxpayer's eye. In
fact, it should bring tears. Because
New Yorkers pay $ 1.40 to
the federal government for every
dollar returned.
According to figures for fiscal
1966, me federal government distributed
$ 12.45- billion in " aid"
last year. Thirty- one states drew
more in aid than they paid in
taxes, two broke even and 17
states were on die short end.
Alaska paid only 12 c, ent in taxes
for every dollar in aid. Some of
The Farmingdale Baptist
Church, Carman Road, South
Farmingdale gave a Pie Social
last Friday evening when members
and guests participated in
various games including ' Texas
Dominos' and were treated to
a variety of beautifully baked
homemade pies. One of the most
memorable was a Strawberry
and another was an Orange Chiffon.
Observer readers may now
try die recipes tiiat were obtained
through me offices of
Chairman Mrs. Betty Umbelland
die Rev. Larry Walker.
Strawberry Marshmallow Pie-
Chill overnight or for several
hours before serving.
1 10 oz. package large marsh-mallows
1 small can Carnation milk
1 large package sliced frozen
strawberries
Melt marshmallows in a double
boiler, stirring until fluffy. Remove
from heat and add defrosted
strawberries. Fold in milk which
has been whipped. Pour into a
baked pie shell and chill.
Orange Pie
1 package orange gelatin dessert
1 cup hot water
1 8 oz. package cream cheese
1/ 4 cup sugar
1/ 4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup cream whipped
grated orange rind
Dissolve gelatin in hot water.
Cream cream cheese until soft
and smooth. Slowly blend sugar,
orange juice and lemon juice into
it. Gradually blend dissolved gelatin
into cheese mixture. Chill
until slightly diickened. Fold mix
in die whipped cream. Pour into
a chilled crust. Garnish with
grated orange rind. Chill until
firm. Put into Oatmeal crust or
Graham Cracker crust.
Oatmeal Crust
1/ 2 cup butter or margarine
1/ 4 cup sugar
1/ 2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sifted flour
the " poor" Southern and Western
states paid less dian 50 cents
in taxes for every dollar received
from Washington. New Jersey was
hardest hit, paying $ 1.83 in taxes
for every dollar received. The
theory that the " rich" states
should help the " poor" states is
being stretched to the limit.
One of die reasons diat New
York State finds it increasingly
difficult to raise revenues for
operating die state is diis preemption
of revenue sources by
the federal government. The more
than $ 12- bill ion in aid from Washington
during 1966 is 50 per cent
higher dian die federal aid program
in 1963. And it's estimated
mat this Washington give- away
will soar past $ l7- billion for
fiscal 1968.
One answer to diis problem
is a Republican proposal for federal
grants to die states, with no
strings attached. Much of this aid
now requires matching spending
by die states, which means diat
states often have to spend money
in one area to get diis federal aid
and ignore another problem which
might be more pressing. I wonder
whether die Long Island school
vote will be properly interpreted
in Washington. More likely, die
administration's Robin Hoods will
continue tibeir mad pace of taking
from die rich and giving to die
poor. But I don't think diat too
many New Yorkers are feeling
very rich diese days.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The only fault I found with the
action taken for " stealing" was
that it was not strong enough.
How do we as parents explain
to our children who do read the
papers the ( act diat a resident
stole a book and the only punishment
he received was a slap
on the wrist Even diis fault
does not lie at the feet of die
library trustees. It is the duty
of die director of the library to
take action against this man.
I feel that the trustees did the
job facing Uiem and did it well.
