Police Launch Narcotics
Education Program
Nassau County Police Commissioner
Francis B. Looney will
launch a mobile narcotics information
and education program
on Tuesday, August 6, at
2: 30 P. M. which will tour shopping
areas and schools throughout
the County.
" Our intention," Looney said,
" is to bring to as many people
as possible information on the
dangers inherent in the abuse of
drugs."
The department's new bus has
been fitted out with displays and
posters designed to inform the
public of the dangers of illegal
drugs. Members of the department
will staff the bus and answer
questions and advise individuals
seeking additional information on
drug abuse and cure facilities.
In less than two hours, the
narcotic display vehicle can be
converted into a 45 seat bus.
As a bus, it will be used to
transport personnel, and also to
advance the department's community
relations program by
bringing persons from underprivileged
areas in the county
to Mineola for tours of police
headquarters.
Begin Cleanup On 76 Acre
Shopping Center Site
Oyster Bay Councilman Philip
B. Healey announced that work
is underway cleaning up the vacant
76- acre lot on Carmans Road and
Sunrise Highway, north of the
railroad trestle in Massapequa.
Healey said the South Bay Corporation,
owners of the property
that is scheduled to be a future
shopping center, stated that a
crew with equipment is cleaning
the debris and cars from the
property. He added that the town
will install ' t o dumping" signs
and the Nassau County Police will
increase coverage of the area.
" I am hopeful that this clean- up
and the steps planned to continue
our vigilance of the e x i s t i ng
vacant area will permanently
eliminate the nuisance that this
mess has created," said Healey.
The area has recently come
under fire by nearby residents
as a dumping site.
