Gromarty told the audience of over six hundred peope that they had just com- pleted one of the most important steps in the functioning of a democracy, He called the desig- nating convention _ 'an integral part of the functioning of a dem- ocracy.' GOP Leader Cromarty said that the choices had been difficult \because the Republican Party has so many able and competent potential candidates.\ He contrasted the long. arduous discussion process used in selec- ting candidates with the methods of the Democrat party in New York City where the bosses sit down months betore the conven- tion - and decide who will go where, That process of boss poli- tics has no connection with dem- ocrary. I think that only through the process we have used can we foster and strengthen freedom.

BUILDING Vofers in Huntingtons Umeon Free School Distrut No. 3 will be asked :o go to the polis on July 10 to approve, the sale of the Districts administration build- ing at 209 Main St. to the Town of Huntogton as an annex to Town Hall and to authorise the construction of a new - binlding for administration and other edu- cational purposes on an already owned Spring Rd. site. Huntington - Town - Supervisor Robert J. Flynn was authorized by the Town Board in May to negotiate for the building as part of the Town Hall centrabzation program begun last year. Through sep. rite appraisals. - a talue of $50000 has been agreed - upon. The Town has asked the District for oceupamy as soon as possi- bie. The maximum cost of a new and more adequate building has been estimated at $185.000. This would be reduced by the net pro- ceeds of the $50,000 sale to the Town. The Board of Education is asking for authorization to pay the net cost out of unallocated funds so that there will be no in- crease in taxes.

BOYD Tension mounts as resdents of UFSD \ wait impatiently for the final voting of the revised school budget on Monday, June 25. Some 1100 residents have signed their names to a petition opposing the new | budget and submitted it to the School Board on Monday, June 11. The text of this petition is as follows. \Whereas it is our belief and fear that the revised school bud- get as announced in the Northport Journal and the Northport Obser- ver of May 31 will jeopardize the quality of our community's edu- cational _- program - beyond - the point of necessity and good rea- son- Therefore, we, the undersigned residents of UFSD 4 petition the Board of Education of said dis trict to: 1. Reinstate without delay the program and facilities which are deleted in the revised budget; 2. Reinstate without delay the staff _ to carry out point #1 above:; and 3. Postpone the scheduled vote on the revised budget so that an acceptable plan can be worked out.\ A spokesman for the petitioners said that the proposed budgetary cuts, especially in the areas of curriculum, were much too dras- tic and that these did not prop- erly represent the wishes of the community. It was claimed that the negative budget vote on May 2nd didmot represent an intention on part of the voters to make reductions that would be harmful to the overall - educatonal pro- gram of the school district. The petitioners | requested ac- ton - in - accordame - with - the Board of Education by daw # 9530 of March 6. 1961. which states that a petition signed by 1/4 of the registered voters to date shall be deemed sufficient for - appropriate - action - by the Board.

Candidates who have passed al portions of these examinations by Juge 27, will be placed on eligi- ble lists for future vacancies. Untul now, Civil Service has been conducting examinations on Mondays in Riverhead and Wed- nesday afternpons in Brightwaters.

An anonymous signer of ths peti- ~ tion stated that the Board ot Ed- ucation planned on seeing the voting of June 25th without any public hearings - On the other hand, the dates of these hearings were released to the public on June 7th, four days before the petition was issued to the Board of Education. Coverage of these hearings - will appear in - next week's Northport Observer, A resident of Northport, a tax- payer and a nother of a student in UFSD 4 1 1 this to say when asked her opinion: \The votng public of UFSD 4 has taken to crime again. They didnt learn their lesson the first ume they voted down - a school budget. therefore. they will have to be made aware of the enor- mity of their crime and punished accordingly, First. the budget must be re- vised.

Dont increase the uze of the classes - keep at down to 18 or 20, - (which is what it actually - is no - matter what you hear to the contrary).
