Let The Other Guy Do It (Continued from Page 2) community projects? These are very profitable corporations and it would be to their future and present benefit to pump some of the profits back into the communities instead of taking all of the profits out. Along with the local merchant community donations, we can accomplish any community effort we sponsor with their support and cooperation. This malaise does not stop with merchant groups only. The local service clubs are also hurting. Membership is down and new members are difficult to come by. Communities that do not support service clubs such as Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions suffer in the long run. All of their efforts are directed towards funding worthwhile projects in their immediate communities. My eleven years as a Kiwanian has certainly been an enriching experience for me and it gave me another dimension of community service. Seek out the organizations of your STEUBEN SOCIETY OF AMERICA.

But Do We Need NEW Schools? (Continued from Page 2) of renovation, the Board has taken away from the resident who truly cares about the educa- tion his child receives a viable alternate to the yes / no proposition that we are currently faced with. Renovation would alleviate the current problems and do so at a lesser cost. Renova- tion would be aided by state funds and would be payable over a period of years. And reno- vation would be more acceptable to the resi- dents of East Rockaway than two brand new schools. By placing the voter in the position of opt- ing for two brand new buildings or nothing, I am afraid that the majority of the electorate will reject the proposal. This accomplishes nothing. It should be up to the people of the community to decide whether the schools should be renovated or replaced. There are many in the community who feel that what the school district needs is major renovation, not replacement. And those people will find no way to express their opinion on December 13. I believe that the Board should reconsider its position and allow the community to vote the (1) Replacement or (2) Renovation or (3) Neither. Only in this way may all opinions on the issue be expressed. Without the third alternative that I have outlined, the bond issue will probably be defeated. And a rejection by the voters will not solve the crisis that currently faces us. Yes, our school buildings present problems that must be addressed, and yes, we are willing to address thfem. We have the option of renovat- ing the schools and correcting the problems. But do we need new schools? The inability of the electorate to vote on this question will doom the bond issjue from the start.
