Association Plans To Keep Ahead ot Suffolk Growth On Thursday night more than 200 Suffolk County members of the Long Island Association gathered at Friede's in Smith- town to partake of steak and hear a discussion on plans for the future. Francis B. Garvey, Babylon, Suffolk County Vice President of the Association, was toast- master. - After the invocation by the Rev. Ned Olszewiez of St. Patrick's Church, Smith- town, a welcome was extended by Raiph D Howell, chairman of the Board of Directors. During the course of his re- marks, Howel. said plans were in the works for architectural awards to encourag> improved appearance of buildings in the rapidly-growing areas. H. Lee Dennison, Suffolk Co. Executive, then spoke on the County's role in promoting ec» onomic growth and the need for eooperation between business- men and public officials. Eigar V.

Despite declining acreage, Wells said, the level of production is increasing due to more scienti- fic farming methods Windup speaker was Edward J .McGinnis, Assistant District Highway Engineer,. McGinnis talked about State plans for new highways, and came in for most of the attention during the question and answer period that followed. Another question, asked of Dennison about \high taxes\ brought forth his statement of belief that continued growth would attract new industry which would help ease the tax burden. Also discussed was the poss- ibility of a bridge connecting Orient Point with Connecticut. Such a bridge has been said to be feasible from an engineering standpoint, although the cost would be prohibitive without major federal participation. tu.

The football team finished the season with an overall record of 6-1-1, and a league record of 6-0, which is good in anyone's book. We all saw what took place on the field Sathrday after- noons and liked what we saw. But had we gone down to the practice field, say on a Tuesday afternoon, we would have ap- preciated the win on Saturday even mdre. LET'S START with Septem- j|ber 1, when prastice officially began. Of course, players had been working out long before then on their own, but on this Thursday team practice com- menced. It was hot-plenty hot and the ground seamed to give off heat waves of its own. No matter, though: these men were {Photo Francis Orlando) here to play football. As we watch, the players line up for calisthenics and enter- tain u; with pushups, situps, jumping jacks, wind sprints. Glad to be non-participants, we retreat to the sanctuary of the homestead and retire exhausted before the television set. Come the first day of school, we find the players sat it again; this time pouring over intricate charts dealing with pass pat- terns, blocking assignments and pitchouts. We scan the sheets, feigning knowledge, and with- draw to the simplicity and or- der in our Cooper nove'.

So, under our watchful eye, the team began to take shape and it was ready when the sea- son opened. T he pre-season training had narrowed the vars- ity down to only a particle of its former size. It was enough. On September 24 the Tigers tied Bayshore in a non-league contest, but outplayed the Mar- auders convincingly. In our first league game, we walked over favored Lindenhurst a nd established 'our status as a con- tender. It is worthy to note that in this game, t he line, cached by George Kelly, gave evidence of being one of North- port's best.
