Mrs. Jones Opposes
Busing Plan
Mrs. Josephine Jones of 111
Hillside Road, Farmingdale, in­cumbent
District 22 Board of
Education Trustee who is up
for election Wednesday, May 8
issued the following statement
to The Observer.
" For the last three years, I
have had the honor to represent
my fellow citizens on the school
board. I take pride in the quality
of education which our children
are receiving, and even my op­ponents
admit that we have been
able to maintain this level of
quality at a cost per child which
was below the county" average.
I did not come to the board as
a newcomer to the community
affairs, but with a well estab­lished
record of service. But
who is my opponent? Whom does
he represent, a small special
interest group or all of die voters
and taxpayers? There is little
doubt that the busing issue con­cerns
us all deeply. On the one
hand, the need to improve race
relations in our country is of
the essence. On the other hand,
it is my position that this worthy
objective can not and must not
be achieved at the cost of de­stroying
the very basis on which
our school system has always
functioned, namely the neighbor­hood
school concept. I have,
therefore, reached the conclusion
that I must firmly oppose any
busing plan."
" My opponent has had the
strong support of a group of
anonymous people, who call
themselves DEBT. They have
distributed many unsigned state­ments,
containing the most flag­rant
distortions of truth. I do
not know who these people are.
You do not know who these people
are. I feel the voter has a right
to wonder about a candidate whose
backing comes from people who
refuse to sign meir literature.

THE WASHINGTON
WATCH
By Congressman
The frustrating fight to protect
the nation's young people from
the growing volume of porno­graphy
has received aid from
a surprising but vital source.
The United States Supreme
Court has ruled that a State
has the power to impose restrict­ions
on material that can be sold
to a person under 17 years of
age. Finally and at last, law
enforcement authority has the
means to cut off the filthmoney
from those who would cash- in
at the expense of our country's
youth.
The test case came from Long
Island and New York law was
involved. The decision paves
the way for a crackdown by
law enforcement authorities on
those purveyors of filth who
feed off the young of our com­munities.
I know the District
Attorney, William Cahn, of Nas­sau
County will crack down
harder than ever on these people.
I shall urge him to make every
effort to enforce this law.
It is time to expose in the
pequa.

" slimelight" those who think
more of dollar profit than the
corruption they sell.
More important, the logic
of this decision can be applied
at the federal level. Rules can
be made into federal law pro­hibiting
the use of the mails for
such purposes. In fact, I am
drafting a law to achieve this.
In the near future it will be
introduced in the Congress to
act on the promise that the Su­preme
Court decision has given
us.
By adopting the New York
statutory language in my Bill
the constitutionality issue can
be overcome and prompt and
vigorous enforcement begun. The
postal inspectors who today are
nearly powerless can be given
the means to protect the public.
Please support my Bill. I
would like to hear from you con­cerning
it. I urge all news
media and editorial writers to
give their support to this attack
on the vilest section of our so­ciety-
the purveyors of filth to
our children
