Mayor Geier urged all in attendance to write their leg- islators to request that tTie State provide an increase in per capita aid to municipal- ities. The next meeting of the Lynbrook Village Board will be held on Monday, March 5. Members of the Grist Mill Committee have felt them- selves fortunate by not only having organizations partic- ipate in the Huckleberry Frolic but individuals who have volunteered their tal- ents and skills, especially in the fields of photography and entertainment for the afternoon. The entertain- ment includes music, skits and dance performed in the Town of Hempstead showmobile. Arnold Koch, amateur photographer whose color photo of the sailing ship Unicorn that visited our shores is well known, has for many years covered the parade, opening ceremonies and home booths, but it's more than a one person job. Added Talent Needed for Huckleberry Frolic Help is needed there. Also, \shutter bugs\ may help out with the polaroid picture- taking of visitors who wish to have a comic portrait of themselves, with their heads poked through the opening in wooden cut-out stands fashioned by the High School students. During the afternoon of the Frolic, visitors have been treated to talented groups of persons who execute the double duty of entertaining and keeping people in the park to patronize sa'les at the various booths. Ellie Suss- man has always brought her Centre Avenue school chil- dren to sing. Other school or church singing groups are hoped for. Dancers from the LeRoy school in Lynbrook and \Lois\ pupils have been seen from time to time. Guitarists, other instrumen- talists, and vocalist are always welcome. There is a rumor that there might even be a talent show this year. Who knows what \scout\ might be present? Those interested in any of the above categories may- drop a note to James Groark, Frolic Chairman, at 30 Maiden Avenue, Lyn- brook, 11563 or stop in at the Frolic meeting being held i-a the Village Hall basement, March 28 at 8 p.m. More next week and weeks to come on the back- ground of the various organ- izations who have booths and games at the Frolic.
