, $411» Irresponsible . . . Editor, THE OBSERVER: Congressman William Carney's strong sup- port for nuclear power, in the aftermath of the Three Mile Island accident, is irresponsible. He recently has opposed a bil} which would bave banned the licensing of any nuclear plant in a state that didn't havea plan for emergency evacuation. ® A check of Mr. Carney's campaign contribu- tions indicates that a majority of his financial support Comes from large corporations and special interests outside of Suffolk County. Oil and utility companies as well as the manufac- turers and engineers for the Shoreham and Jamesport Nuclear Reactors (Westinghouse, General Electric and Stone & Webster) are all contributors to his campaign. Such conduct on the part of the man who now holds Otis Pike's seat is a disgrace. We urge all citizens concerned about the dangers of nuc- lear power to express their dissatisfaction directly to Mr. Carney at: Congressman William Carney, House of Representatives, Washington, DC, 20515. Al Kirby, President Suffolk For Safe Energy Dedicated . . . Editor, THE OBERVER: Here is something that I would like to share with all of your readers. Sandy Kornfeld will be on the ballot in the November general election. Although she narrowly missed winning the Democratic nomination in that \too-close for the Dem party's organization comfort\ primary, she . did receive the bid of the Liberal Party and will be on Row E running for Huntington Town Councilwoman. I was very disappointed not to have been able to vote for Sandy Kornfeld in the primary. I am not a registered Democrat. She was my number one choice, in fact my only choice. But now all of us, regardless of political affiliation, can vote for Sandy Kornfeld on November 6. And, if more people are made aware that they don't have to vote for two people just because the ballot says vote for any two,\ we can elect the people we really want. The only candidate really dedicated to representing all the people of Huntington without worrying about political obligations is Sandy Kornfeld. The line she runs on is merely that, a line. It's the candidate that counts! Susan Pardue Servants . . . Editor, THE OBSERVER: Surprise, surprise. Or did you expect, as I did, the bad behavior of the Supervisor of Huntington Highwaysin his act of non-cooper- ' ation of his team of elected public servants? I never believed in women in politics. Since they got the vote, as a patriot, it became my duty to participate. Finding that Independent registrants lacked a voice in government, I shopped about for a party beforeregistering as - a Repupublican over 50 years ago. I've be- longed to practically every Republican club in Huntington, held office in them and made money for them. I was offered a position as secretary to one of our very fine supervisors, offered County Committeewoman many times but remained just a soldier in the regiment. I assure you I never beheld such deliberate troublemaking as I have beheld by the Councilwoman and now - the Superintendent of our Town Highways. Their behavior is a disgrace for either party, especially the party on whose ballot they became public servants - elected to serve the people, not just a given party. I do not know the gentleman who has won a victory to return as a trustee to the Vanderbilt Museum. I do agree with him that a man in business for construction of roadways surely PAGE 10 DEVELOPMENTAL FUNDS: Through the efforts of the Huntington Village YDA, a check for $500 was presented to Supervisor Kenneth Butterfield.

As for leader- ship, for how many years the so-called leader of the Huntington Township Republican Party, for how many years, for how many losses? That's not leadership in my book. Is it true that this so-called leader replaces outgoing county committee persons with his own appointees thus enabling him to keep being elected as Republican Town leader? Or loser? Check out county committee men or women and have a count done as to what taxpayer public positions they hold. | { Once we had Republicans who were Repub- licans, not troublemakers We, with good reason, split our county machinery once and elected our own slate of independent Repub- licans and won a victory. We did it because we worked together under a real leader and a real cause to save a good man's name and honor who had been \framed'\ from within the ranks. Huntingtonians are akin to one of our flags with a snake on it stating, \Don't Tread on Me.\ Huntingtonians have great spirit when the need arises. Let not Republican elected public servants become just plain common. There is a right way of victory and a wrong way. Republicans once used- dignity which is badly needed in today's chaotic world of plenty of money but lack of culture. a Elected officials are in public office to serve, we, the people,'' not any given party. The Hon. Kenneth C. Butterfield has done just that all during his terms of office. He is a cultured gentleman with dignity in his office. Hunting- - tonians deserve that dignity,. The Simpson High School, rehabilitated into our Town 12311, was an excellent move to save rentals and a move for better efficiency. My late cousin, Gilbert Scudder, could have died alone, in the East Northport Town hideaway for town highway gagglexgment had someone not found him in a diabetic coma years ago. It, too, is on a hidden side street. Clara J. Scudder Stillwell - Northport ,Thank$.. . Editor, THE OBSERVER: The Huntington Choral Society is very grateful for the coverage you gave us both THIE OESERVER + aren Von Winbush, Leslie Sutherland, and Mike before and after our July production in Heck- scher Park. We feel that the feature story you did (July 12) was greatly responsible for the record attendance at that performance. The review which followed (July 26) was also well appreciated. * We have just begun our new season, and we are hoping that The Observer will continue to send a reviewer to ourperformances this year. Our first concert will be on Saturday, Decem- ber 8, at Huntington High School and will feature Vivaldi's \Gloria\ along with several short works by Mozart, Britten, Vaughan Wil- liams and others. The Melville Brass Ensem- ble will also perform at that concert. Our spring production will be the Verdi \Requi- em'\ on March 22nd, also at Huntington High School. It will be performed with full orchestra and outstanding guest soloists. A concert of lighter music to be performed in conjunction withthe Huntington Township Arts -Festivalis also planned for sometime in July. We hope there is someone on your staff who would be able to review these concerts. ge. 20. Argere Loizides Huntington Choral Society, Inc. ° Unfair . . . Editor, THE OBSERVER: It is most unfair of Mayor Peter Nolan to single out one village restaurant to bear the rrunt of Cow Harobr Day's late-night ® 'prob- ems.\ The Northport Feed and Grain is a very well managed restaurant whose owners were very careful to check the ages of customers both inside and outside. If anything, the music in back of Feed and Grain kept many young people off the street. Many stores and other restaurants and bars were selling alcoholic .s. Other estab- lishments cause many problems on weekend nights throughout the year. Ann Sullivan Brian Sullivan Northport Thank you again for your excellent covera- naw
