Food Center, 249 Merrick Road, Rock- ville Center, N.Y., 11570 and are tax deductible. For further information you may call 536-8708. While most of us are on vacation the food donations to the Center dwindle and during the summer months more food leaves then arrives. The shelves become drastically depleted and replacements are sorely needed. Hunger never takes a vacation. The annual \Alert For Hunger\ drive in Lynbrook and East Rockaway is sche- duled for the month of October. This drive is in behalf of the Long Island Action Taken on Marion Street Playground Last year, when Marion Street parents proposed closing the playground on Waverly Avenue because of its state of disrepair, Dr. Alfred Solomon, principal, suggested that a committee be formed to investigate the alternatives. Susan Gorecki, Chris Bozzone and Pat Firian, who headed the PTA com- mittee, had a vision of a new kind of adventure play- ground that would challenge the children physically. They contacted Jeff Olson Kremer Urges \Yes\ Vote on Road, Bridge Bond Issue Assemblyman Arthur J. Kremer is urging voters in the 20th Assembly District to vote \yes\ on the infrastructure bond issue on November 8. The bond issue will raise $1.25 billion to repair highways, bridges and port facilities through- out the state. \Right now New York has 24,000 miles of roads in bad condition and 8,200 bridges with structural deficiencies,\ says Kremer, \and we can- not postpone the task of rebuilding them any longer. If voters do not want t o pay for repairs over the 30-year life of the bonds, then there will be a dramatic increase in state taxes to pay for them right now.\ Kremer points out that more than $150 million is earmarked for highway improvements in Nassau County. This includes $33 Council of Churches Emer- gency Food Center. At the Center a 3 day supply of food is provided to those in need without racial or reli- gious discrimination.. There are many reasons why a family may find them- selves without money to buy food. It could be an unex- pected layoff from a job, or an accident that would pro- hibit someone from work- ing. Money can be lost or stolen or needed for medical care. Winter's unusually low temperatures may cost many families large sums for electricity, gas and oil. Every recipient is recom- mended by a social service agency or the clergy. So, no matter what the reason for the need, it is urgent and can't wait. We ask all resi- dents to help those less for- tunate and get behind this important food program. Please give generously through your church, syn- agogue and school and sup- port your club or organiza- tion as it works for the \Alert For Hunger\ drive. million for upgrading the Long Island Expressway,~$7 million to widen the South- ern State Parkway at Valley Strearn, $42 million for a new interchange between the Meadowbrook and Northern State Parkways, and $5.4 million for new lighting on the. Northern State: \In addition,\ says Kremer, \the bond issue contains $70 million for local highway repairs in Nassau County and $34 mil- lion to improve the county's bus system. \The Mianus River Bridge tragedy on Interstate 95 in Connecticut proves what can happen when roads and bridges are not maintained. The roads are Long Island's lifeline and we cannot afford to have them deteriorate any further.\ of Big Toy, who made the arrangements to have the necessary items delivered. Funds were supplied from the District and the Parent- Teachers Association. Late in the summer, the day of action took place and builders were Arguso, Angel, Greg, Tina and Luke Becker, Clen and Frank Becker, Bozzone, Felix, Finan, Friefeld, Giannotti, Gorecki, Leader, Macchia, McNamara, Liz and Roger Regan, Rosenbloom, Russo, Small, Solomon, Taranto, Tolle and Yosca. The group sawed, lifted, pulled, hammered, dug and connected to erect a super new playground for the youngsters to enjoy. District Director of School Facilities and Operations, Louis Per- sall, built the stone frame surrounding the equipment. The playground is located on Marion Street, outside the volley-ball court. Superintendent of Schools Bern Seiderman praised the joint effort of the PTA, school personnel and the community. Chairman of the committee, Susan Gorecki, commended the project. \Our children will benefit in years to come from the generosity of time, talent and funding from everyone involved.\ MAYOR IN THE LION'S DEN.
