Tallamy, State Superintendent of Public Works. The connecting link will be Phy liss drive , which lies just west of ' East lake , East Patchogue. It will be brought up to a uniform ! width <if 24 feet and will be cov- j i-re d with bituminous stabilized : earth pavement. The length of the I project , which ha« an cstimuted cost of $58 , 000 , is .0 mile. That section of the new Sunrise highway, which is being built from Broadway avenue north of Hayport to Phyliss drive , is M -heduled for completion next spring. Work has not yet started on a section from Creat River to Broadway avenue.

Gloster & Sons , archit ects , it would contain 80 beds in three one-story wings off the main corridor and therapy and administration sections. It would be built on a site near East Lake deeded recently to the the Brookhaven Memorial association by the County Board of Supervisors. Repeated requests by a delegation of Suffolk county official s , meeting last Thursday in Washington with Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Bra n nan , that a new series of public hearings be held before proceeding: with construction of a $10 , 000 , 000 laboratory on Plum Island to study hoof-and- mouth disease were flatly reject- ed by Mr. Brannan , Philipp A. Hattemer of Patchogue , chair- man of the Board of Supervisors , said this week. When Mr. Brannan issued a firm \ no \ to the requests , Assis- tant County Attorney Lloyd P. Dodge advised the Secretary that he believed Suffolk county, through its Board of Supervisors , has legal grounds on which to proceed with an injunction against the Department of Agriculture. With this , Mr. Brannan told the Suffolk group to \ go ahead , \ add- ing, \ we have injunctions brought against us every day. \ Throughout the hearing, Mr. Brannan assumed the attitude , according to Mr. Hattemer , who is also Supervisor of Brookhnven town , that Suffolk county was trying to make a political issue of the Plum Island p roject. The Suffolk delegation too k sharp is- sue with the Secretary on this and pointed out that the opposi- tion to the bill authorizing the laboratory was voiced by both senators from New York , one a Republican and the other a Demo- crat , and by two U. S. Represen- tatives from Long Island , one Re- publican and one Democrat , as well as by the Board of Supervis- ors, which is composed of both Democrats and Republicans. In addition , the fact was cited that the leaders of both major political parties in Suffolk had come out in opposition to the laboratory. In opening the meeting, Super- visor Hattemer said that Suffolk objected to the project -hie 'ly on the grounds it would be a serious Continued on page 6 , this section Ag Chief Challenges Superviso rs to Sue Our Younger Set 'He Isn ' t Foolin ' Me With That Birdie Talk' Peter Joseph McK enzie . son of Mr. and Mr*.

Patchogue , Ridge ; Driver Gets Jail Term A series of serious highway accidents in the area in recent days came to a climax early yes- terday morning when a 29-year- old East Setauket woman , Jac- queline M. Wolfe , was killed in a crash in Setauket. Driving - east on Sheep Pasture road , alone , she failed to negotiate a sharp curve , police said , and crashed into an embankment a few minutes after 4 a. m. She was pronounced dead by Dr. Samuel Feinberg of Port Jef- ferson. Although a resident of Setau- ket road , Kast Setauket , she was widely known in the Lake Ron- konkoma area , where she had been employed for some years in the A & P grocery store. The body was taken to the O. B. Davis, Inc., Funeral home in Port Jefferson , but funeral arrange- ments were not available yester- day. The accident was investigated by Brookhaven Town Police Chief Edward N. Bridge, Sergeant Charles Leyes and Patrolmen George Gloucester and Anthony DeVito and by Zone Chief Inves- tigato r Juck Barry of the district attorney ' s office in Patchogue. * * * A three-car collision on Route 25 in Ridge Sunday afternoon led to a -IH-day term in the County jail for Eugene Pringler , a mi- grant worker staying at the I.

The announcements were made to Rotary yesterday afternoon and to Kiwanis Tuesday night , at the clubs ' re gular meetings in the Pat- chogue hotel. Douglas E. Brown of Bellport , Kiwanian and Patch- ogue attorney, gave the principal address to his fellow club mem- bers , and H. Alan Zwissler , Ro- tarian and also a Patchogue at- torney, did the honors at the Ro- tary session. Both men are members of the hospital association ' s board of di- rectors , and Mr. Zwissler is head of its legal staff. In making the announcement that a professional fund-raising firm will assist in the five-month campaign , both men said that the board made an intensive study of various ways of raising the money. They learned that South- side hospital in Bay Shore , Cen- tral Suffolk hospital in Riverhead , Eastern Long Island hospital in Greenport and Southampton hos- pital all made use of professional assistance. \Further investigation snowed j most conclusively, \ they Naald , | \that such institutions which had endeavored to raise f und * on their own had been unsuccessful—the failure in those instances was not attributed to the fac t that the , leaders were not capable or that the campaign workers lacked en- j thusiasm and zeal , but that prop- 1 er organization and experienced j direction were absent. \ ' After consideration of several fund raising organizations it was decided , they said , to engage the Community Counselling service of Brooklyn. That organization , they added , has conducted building fund campaigns that were over-sub- scribed in Amityville , Babylon , Bellport , Lindenhurst , Patchogue and Riverhead , as well as in oth- er communities. Fee Is $15 , 000 The fund-raising firm will re- ceive a flat fee of $15 , 000 , pay- able over the five months during which professional services will be rendered . Operational expenses ase estimated at not more than 111 , 000. \Not one penny of this (opera- tional expenses) money will go to the fund raising firm , \ both speakers emphasized. \Further- more , it has been agreed that the operational expenses shall be spent within the hospital service area where practical . In addi- tion , the control of this money rests entirely with the Brookhaven Memorial association and all ex- penditures must be approved by the board. \ U Mr. Zwissler drew spontaneous pplause wneab*he said that four members ot the hospital board have agreed to underwrite all fund-raising fees and expenses. He emphasized that \ every dollar donated by the public will go to the hospital fund campaign. \ The proposed hospita l will ba Continued on page 6 , this section Hospital Drive Facts Service Clubs Hear: - Tf— ii ' !-¦ i i ,ii...,, , T .«i T f I .. ¦¦ ——,¦„.- (Editor ' s Note : Here is the complete text of the announce- ment made on behalf of the Brookhaven Memorial Association , Inc., to two Patchogue service clubs this week , an- announcement giving full details of the campaign planned to raise $500 , 000 to build a hospital for the Patchogue area.

The grea t prog- ress Brookhaven Memorial assoc- iation has made in the past month has brought our dreams to the threshold of reality. As a member -»f the Brookhaven Memorial as- sociation , I am here to give you the facts on that progress. \As you know , this past Jan- uary, a group of men and women , interested in the area ' s general and social welfa re , met to take steps toward the realization of a hospital in the Patchogue area. They were determined that their enthusiasm would not be dimmed by a series of untoward circum- stances that the earlier groups of planners encountered. \Spurred on by a revival of community-wide interest in the projected hospital , the citizens ' group, spearheading the move- ment , revived and revitalized the non-profi t corporation known as the Brookhaven Memorial Assoc- iation, Inc. It was now a consoli- dation of all previous groups and continued to be incorporated un- der the laws of the State of New York. The purpose for which it was formed as stated in its char- ter are : \ 'To receive contributions , soli- cit and.hold funds and to contri- bute and donate the same to non- profit oiganizations organized for the following purposes , or any of them: the purchase , erection , es- tablishment , organization , equip- ment und maintenance of a non- sectarian general hospital , dis- pensary and outpatient department for the cure , nursing and _ treat- ment of peisons who are sick , in- firm or otherwise disabled or help- less , including maternity cases.

Bayporters cast 257 \ves\ votes and 22 \ no \ votes. Blue Point residents cast 147 votes in fa- vor of the proposal , and 13 against it. Walter M. Ormsby. superinten- dent of the Second Supervisory district , said yesterday he will issue an order declaring consoli- dation to be in effect as soon as he receives the necessary papers from the two school board s , but added that the clerical job involv- ed on the part of school officials may take a couple of weeks. After consolidation is in effect , he said , the voters of the enlarg- ed district will decide on the make-up of the new Board of Education , as was done a year ago after the Patchogue and Med- ford districts were consolidated. Mr. Ormsby will have to decide what number the new district will carry. He said it probably will be either District 5 Islip-Brook- haven or District 23 Brookhaven- Islip, since the district includes parts of each town. The 1 name of the new district will be . up to the voters , he said. Only the number has any official meaning.
