Mayor Reinhard addresses the members of the Holy Name Society. A shortage of male manikins has kept many of the Museum's men's wear costumes from being dis- played. However, that hur- dle has been overcome and the gentlemen now mingle with their female counter- parts. Jbe Fire Room is well guarded' by three firefight ers. A man in \turnout gear\ stands by the old pumper while Joseph Vito's N.Y.C. uniform is on a manikin near East Rocka- way's first fire alarm, i.e. the rim of a locomotive wheel that was struck with a hammer when fire was reported. A band uniform of the late Pete Smillie (donated by his wife) brightens another corner. On the upper floor in the Bay Exhibit, the \old man of the sea\ in a duckboat is dressed in oilskins donated by Capt. Lou Pearsall of the Lent Announces Arts Competition Congressman Norman P. Lent (R-East Rockaway) today launched an art com- petition for high school stu- dents in the Fourth Con- gressional District. The winning entry will be dis- played this coming summer, along with works of art from other congressional districts across the country, in a cor- ridor of the U.S. Capitol-an area dedicated to the artistic skills of today's young artists. According to Congress- man Lent, the contest is part of An Artistic Discovery, the fourth annual competi- tion implemented by Members of the U.S. House of Representatives to recog- nize the creative talents of young Americans. Between now and May 15, 1985, Members will conduct local competitions for high school students in order to select artwork to be displayed in the national exhibition. \Nothing is more impor- tant to the soul of America than its artistic heritage,\ said Congressman Lent. \I am happy to sponsor this competition, which allows us to encourage our young artists whose creative ener- gies are so vital to our rich cultural traditions.\ The competition, which is to be conducted at no expense to the federal government, is open to all high school students in the Fourth District. Artwork must be two dimensional and no larger than 30\ X 30\ (unframed). Eligible catego- ries are paintings, drawings, collages and prints. For further information, please contact Competition Coordinator Emma Tolm- ach at (516) 223-1616. Mother of the Year Search Several years ago the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks lodges search for the community mother who best exemplifies that appelation both inside and out of the home. The Elks thought this a fitting pursuit since the Order is family- oriented and the lodges depend heavily upon the wives of the members for support in their endeavors. Local winners are in com- petition on the district level and, finally, on the State Association level. Last year's State Association Mother of the Year was from Staten Island Lodge No. 841. She was the guest of the Association at its annual convention at the Concord Resort Hotel. Lynbrook Lodge No. 1515 is looking for a local resident, and anyone who has entered before may do so again. To qualify a mother must have excelled outside the home as well, for example, in hospital work, scouting, etc. Local mothers are invited to submit, in printed or typed form, a resume; family and friends may submit names for consideration.
