The polls held up and Mr. Reagan defeated Mr. Mondale by 18 percen- tage polls in the popular vote. In our local contest the greatest upset was the deleat ol State Senator Carol Berman, the Democrat Irom Senator Dean Skelos AssemUymai Greg Bedter Congressman R iq 'McGnith Local Folks In Silent \Flickers\ Commuters in Lynbrook, dashing through Saperstein Plaza, might give a passing glance towards the hand- some statue of a World War 1 Doughboy. The man who posed for the statue was one of Lynbrooks own: Col., \Jack\ Blesser, whom many will still remember with affection. However, he was not only a model for the World War I figure, (a war in which he served), but he was one of several local amature performers who acted in silent movies filmed' in East Rockaway. The photo shows Blesser in duck trousers, trying to induce a minister to come into the 1915 car to perforhi a marriage ceremony, after which \The Honeymoon- ers\ (the name of the film), might escape from parential objections. The minister was played by Charles Kent and the lovely Udy behind the wheel was beautiful, red haired Grace Davison of a well known East Rockaway family. The films were taken on Main Street, East Rock- away and some bathing scenes were taken at Long Beach. The studio was in a large, white house (still standing) across the Pearl Street Bridge on Rockaway Avenue, in Oceanside. Another performer in the troups, and still living on Baisley Avenue, is Clinton Donnelly. His father was at one time Mayor of the Vil- Nassau County in the New York iState Senate by former assemblyman Dean Skelos, who lost his bid 2 years ago. Mr. Skelos was helped by the coattails of President Reagan, as the Republican support given him by the Executive Committeemen, Alan McGarry in Baldwin, Martin Bernstein in Ocean- side, and Phil Christ in tast Rockaway. These areas we're vital to secure a victory lor Mr. Skelos, as they pro- duced the vote for him. The other big winners we're con- gressman Norman Lent. Congressman Ray McGrath, State Senator Norman Levy, Assemblyman Arthur \Jerry\ Kremer, Assemb- ly wo man Ba r ba ra Pa 11 o 11, Assemblyman Armand D'Amato and Assembly- man Gregory Becker of our immediate areas.
