William Watt , 44 , Dies Suddenly; On School Board William R. Watt , 44 , of 282 Greeley Avenue, a member of the Sayville Board of Educa- tion ar-d i ^ 'tivc in Boy Scout- Jig, \died * suddenly at bis home late Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Watt , who had been in good health, evidently was seized with a heart attack shortly after re- turning home from work. His death came as a great shock to his many friends and associates who considered him one of Say- ville ' s finest citizens. He was an active member of the local school board for the past (Continued on Page 0) Jeep Fund Crowing Sayville Priest Needs Car The campaign to purchase a jeep for Father Joe Kelly ' s African mission gained momentum this week Readers of The Suffolk County News are asked to spark the drive by sending contributions to the Francis Hoag Memorial Fund in -care of this newspaper. When sufficient money has been obtained , the \ Hoag Fund will acquire the vehicle and ship it to the Say- ville priest' s mission in East Africa . . . in t h e shadow of famed Mount Kilimanjaro. Father Kell y needs the jeep to haul supplies along rutted mountain trails to and from his church , school and hospital. To date , the fund drive has been conducted modestly and quietl y and readers have mailed in nearl y $150. But much more will be needed. Several local people have volunteered to serve on a committee (o raise additional funds , if needed. Walter Gcoghan has shown a keen interest in the project , as has Peter J. Grad y. Organizations wishing to sponsor benefit programs are asked to contact The Suffolk County News. Riverhead — Suffolk Coun- ty will soon create an ordin- ance to regulate powerboat operations in near-by waters . The action is the result of a series of boating accidents in Suffolk waters. All 10 -townships and many of the county ' s 28 incorporated vil- lages have waterfront areas , but only five towns have adopted local laws to regulate boating. New York State navigation laws are not ap- plicable to Long Island waters. A fisherman drowned in Mori- ches Bay three weeks ago after a cabin cruiser and his rowboat collided. Two days later , a nine- year-old boy was critically injured when he was run down by a speed- boat towing a water skiier in the shallow waters of Peconic Bay off Southampton. In both these accidents local po- lice were unable to prosecute be- cause of the lack or weakness of an ordinance. District Attorney John P . Cohalan , Jr. said \the an- swer to the problem seems to be the creation of an ordinance which would regulate speed and operation of motorboats in county waterways. \ The new ordinance which would have to be adopted separately by- each town and village fronting on the water , will give them control (Continued on Page 8) County Ordinance To Control Boat Ooerations Seen LATE AFTERNOON shadows provide backdrop for snapp er fishermen on West Street dock in West Sayville in this fine picture by staff photographer Carl Rozycki.

Jiij iired m Fall After U krw * Woman Sues Fire Department The West Sayville Fire Department is being sued for $10 , 000 in a legal action that has aroused the interest of volunteer firemen and insurance companies throughout New York State. It is the outgrowth of injuries sustained by a woman several hours after the West Savville vamps left a dwelling * - - r --- — which had been severely dam- aged bv lire on Chrictmas (jpve , 1956. The negligence action was filed by Mrs. Harold Quick who claims serious back and hip injuries as a result of a plunge through a hole in the floor of a gutted two story frame dwelling on the north side of Montauk Highway in West Say- ville . Mrs. Quick was visiting friends in Babylon when fire was discover- e d in the build ing. West Sayville \ amps fought the blaze for two hours in rain and fog before bring- ing it under control. Jacob Beebe . chairman of (he Board of Fire Commissioners, said that two fire- men were assigned to stand by at the scene for several hours longer in the event the fire broke out anew . Apparently Mrs. Quick returned home in the early morning hours of ('hrislrrui s Day without realiz- ing that, the building had been on fire and fell through the damaged floor. What makes the case unusu- al is that the district was not in- sured for injuries sustained at the scene of a fire after the firemen left—and apparently no fire dis- trict in the state curries such in- surance coverage. Mr. Heche said that Ihe com- missioners have not been notified as lo any trial date. He said that testimony might concern itself with the question of whether fire- men or police are responsible — if indeed any public body is—for a dwelling alter a fire has been fought , declared to be out. and the firemen have been returned to headquarters. Edwin Boogertman was chief of the department at the lime of the incident. ROWBOAT CAPSIZES , 3 MEH RESCUED Three men were rescued Sunday after spending an hour floating ir the Great South Bay off West Say- ville. They were William Barton 42 . of 222 Sunrise Avenue , Say- ville , Michael Bavaro , 45 , of 225-OG 145th Avenue. Springfield Gardens and Robert Kittredge , 25 , of 438 Uonee Drive , Bayport. The three had gone for a ride in Barton ' s son ' s boat , a 12-foot rowboat with an outboard motor , named the \Barry B. 1 ' It ' capsized in heavy swells about 12:30 p.m. a mile off West Sayville. The men, all strong swimmers , used boat cushions to keep afloat until they were spotted by other boats about an hour later. Mr. Barton and Mr. Kittredge were spotted clinging to their overturned craft b y Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Brooks , of Oakdale , aboard their \Tradewind. \ Mr. Bavaro had by then begun to swim to- wards shore. Mr. Brooks signalled the \Ollic- olt\ of East Moriches , a cruiser approaching his stern and then maneuvered the \Tradewind\ into position to take aboard the two men. AH three were landed , unin- jured , at the Land' s End dock.

The Southwest Corner Di d you know that onl y female niosqui- tos bite? And that onl y male lightning bugs tier lit? There * is no particular si gnificance to this but we thought we 'd men- »ion it. •ma Sapp knows an Oakdale 9irl , for whom men have climbed mountains , leaped in- *o rivers and jumped over fences—while she was learning *o drive , that is. Anyone Here Seen Daisy ? im Mow is Our Advice Daisy, Daisy, give us your answer , do We ' re half crazy waiting around for you It won 't be a real disaster , If you don 't blow any faster — Yet you 'll look smart upon the chart If you wind up in Timbucloo. Storm-conscious Long Is- landers had their eyes on Dai- sy yesterday as the season ' s second hurricane pursued a slow , erratic course along the Atlantic seaboard. Daisy is the name provided by the U. S. Weather Bureau to describe a storm whose 85- mile-an-hour-plus winds posed no serious threat to the south- eastern states but could take a solid swipe at Long Island within the next few clays. Tuesday night Daisy was following a course paralleling the Florida Coast. She was whirling about some 300 miles east of Vero Beach , Florida , and moving nor! h-north west with a strong possibility that she might swing more to the northward . Heavy swells were reported from several points along the coast from Florida to Cape Hatteras , N. C. Of more inter- est to Long Islanders was the sloppy weather here Sunday and all day Monday and Tues- day. The wind was in the east , it rained almost continuously, and there was every indication of heavy swells along the surf by the week end unless Daisy suddenly moves out to sea or strikes inland. Long Island weather this week has been somewhat reminiscent of prc- hurricane weather in past years. This area has been hit by several hurricanes in recent years, starting with the fa- mous blow of . 1933. In 1944 , during World War II , Long Is- land was battered by a second severe hurricane and since then there have been some of minor league calibre , some which posed a threat but pass- ed us by entirely, and Carol which walloped this area for a farc-thec-well in September , 1954. Edna came along in October of the same year but it skirt- ed Long Island' s flank like a broken field runner. Local areas were hit by strong winds and a torrential rain but it wasn 't a big league punch. Nearly every year since then hurricanes ranging up and down the name alphabet have headed this way without arriv- ing. Yesterday Daisy seemed to be uncertain as to her p lans. She appeared to- be hovering 2Q0 miles off Daytona Beach , Fla., with winds up to 100 miles an hour. Weathermen said she appeared to be drift - ing away from the coastline in a north-northeast direction at the rate of five miles an hour. If she holds such a course for another day or two , she will pass out to sea long before she reaches Long Is- land. On the other hand . .
