Teachers The Northport teachers have been offered encouragement and assistance by a top officer of the New York State Teachers Assou- ation in their efforts _ to reach better working relations with the Board of Education. The N.T.A. is urging formulation of a policy whereby the Board will meet di- rectly with representatives of the professional teaching staff to dis- cuss problems of mutual concern. The teachers are basing their ef- forts upon the philosophy ex- pressed in a recent NEA. re- solution. which includes the fol- lowing: \Since Boards - of Education and the teaching profession have the same ultimate aim of provid- ing the best possible educational opportunity | for children _ and youth, relationships must be es- tablished which are based upon this community of interest and upon the concept of education as both a public trust and a profes- sional calling. Recognizing the legal authority of Boards of Ed- ucation and the educational com- petencies of the teaching profes- Sion, the two groups should view the consideration of matters of mutual concern as a foint respon- sibility,\ At a recent meeting of the NIA, Dr. Nathan E.

The Board has threatened the developer with cutting off his bond and com- pleting the work with village labor and equipment. 'The cut- off date was supposedly June 1, this cecasioning some activity on the developer's part. Due to the Village Attorney's absence from the meeting. the Board could not state positively what would be done. or when. but promised to look into the mat- ter, and to have the Engineer at the next Board meeting. TRUSTEE Blydenburgh said there were some 20 drainage problems in different areas of the Village, and thought the Board should consider a bond - issue. Trustee Nolan requested that letters be written to the Town Board and the Army En- gineers about protection for Northport Harbor by dredging - and refilling West Beach at Sand City, The Mayor report- ed that the Town Trustees had mot yet completed the dock leases and that a special meet- ing of the Village Board would be called for Thursday to com- plete _ whatever | requirements the Town Trustees might ask for their meeting on Friday.

Gram to Parents of Teens in Toils A Huntington housewife has come up with an idea that promises to affect teenage traf- fic violators in the County Police District - Suffolk County Pol- ice said Monday that they will begin sending out \Letters of the Law\ to every parent whose child is charged with a traffic violation. Fhe new letter, to be for- warded to parents from each precinct where a teenager is charged with violating trat- fic laws, is designed to make parents aware of what their children are doing, and the seriousness of thein acts. Police Commissioner Charles R. Thom said: \The traffic toll < in Suffolk as well as through- out the nation is vising every day. Too often young poeple are involved in accidents and most accidents are the result of a violation of one of our traffic laws. Our aim is to make the public aware of the dangers. If letters of this type can save one life prevent one person from being injured, it will be well worth the effort,\ COMMISSIONER Thom cered- ited Mrs. A. A. Maisch of 41 Hildreth Avenue, Huntington, with providing police with the «idea for the \Letter of the Law\. Mrs, Maisch suggested the letter and noted that a sim- illar campaign had been con- ducted over a one week period in the Boston area. Instead of a one-week period, however, Thom said Suffolk Police plan to use a special letter through- out the year. ° .
