To Unite Schools ^. \ --- l-i^ 0 !\ ' nl ^' e 1 < this section ing problem faced by both Blue Point and Bayport. First would be a grade school for Bayport , to cost about $800 , - 000. When that is completed , seventh and eighth graders in Blue Point would attend school in Bayport. Those two steps would relieve the immediate pressure on both the Bayport and the Blue Point schools. Next step would be an addition to the Blue Point school — probabl y another four classrooms. Final step in the foreseeable future would be an addition to Bayport High school. Blue Point youngsters have been attending Bayport High on a contract basis \ for many years. About 125 residents of the two districts met in the auditorium of tho Bayport school Friday night to discuss the consolidation pro - posal. James Wilson Young, president of the Bayport board , opened the meeting and introduced Dr. Ralph Singleton , chairman of a Bayport citizens ' committee which * had studied the school' s problems. Dr. Singleton explained the report his committee had drawn up and sent to the voters , a report in which the committee members unani- mously endorsed the proposal to combine the districts. He said that at its first meeting the committee had toured the Bayport school to become familiar with the available facilities , and then at a series of meetings had considered every possible solution. Finally, he said , the committee had agreed that consolidation was the only answer. Transportation Asked Mr. Young then threw the meeting open to questions , and Robert Sheffield asked why trans- portation was not being consid- ered at this time. He said that transporting children across Mon- tauk highway and the railroad tracks was just as important as providing proper school facilities. Dr. Singleton replied that he felt transportation was of second- ary importance and ought to be considered after consolidation had taken place. Henry Ostennann of the Blue Point Board of Education said that Blue Point has provided transportation for its high school students to Bayport and to Seton Hall High school in Patchogue, that Blue Point is interested in transportation , and that this is- sue might possibly sway the vote of Blue Point on the consolidation question. Mrs. Sheffield asked Mr. Young to explain how much transporta - tion would cost each taxpayer , stating that it cost her as much as $5 a week to drive her children to school. Jacob Bigeleisen then asked the number of children in the district. There are about 400 , it was ex- plained , and on that basis , if they were all transported , eight buses would be required and the cost to the district would be in thousands of dollars. Mrs. George Hester said that not all 400 would have to be transported and therefore that those residents living near the school and paying high taxes be- cause of the transportation would still have to meet children who fie being dismissed after dark. Dr. SncII Speaks Dr. Frank Snell , :i past presi- dent of the Blue Point Board of Education , spoke briefly, say ing that it is ver iymportant to realize that Blue Point would help Bay- port and Bayport help Blue Point bv consolidating. ' \Don 't cloud the issue by con- sidering Blue Point' s present debt and Bayport ' s future debt , plus the question of transporta- tion. The Blue Point board is in favor of this move. It feels it is far better to j oin with Bay- port with a joint board than to be forced to send students to a school where they will have no voice in that school' s policies. \ Mrs. Herb e rt Yates called at- tention to the fact , that a strong I ricndship has grown between the students of the two villages throtiRh the years of association and reminded the meeting of the old saying that two can live as cheaply a* one . Mr. Young then said that be- ,-ijUM- the Bayport board wished the taxpayers to arrive at their own decision the board had with- held its own decision concerning the issue. However they did com- mend the committee upon its re- port and bad Charles Bogel. clerk of the board , lead the resolution which had been presented to each member \f tr \' committee. James Ravnor. a member of the citizens committee asked why there hm! not been a member of the board present at any of the meetings of the eoinmitt' e . He stated that he had request- ed the creation of a committee and when he had brought up the subject of t ransportation it had been squashed by the rest of the committee. Dr. Singh ton corrected dim JII reference to the presence of a board member , since he said it had been the unanimous feeling that (ho committee t-lionld feel free to express its opinions in- dependently, and Paige Moore another committee member , l ose and declared that there was no l eiisoii for Mr. Ilaynor ' s attitude , since he bad agreed dining the •neetings with \II 'he decisions made there . Mrs . Kdnmrid Brown •n ose to say that tran sportation bad not boon sid< t ia< !e <i , the m ime coiiM<lciali on being whe- ther or not to consolidate , traiib- portntion being a s« t ondar\ , h.Mie . Dodge Takes Floo r Tuesday night Mr. Young eall- ( d th e lie'Ctillg '\ older .md II , - n oilm.d Lloyd P. l. '\.lgc pre. -i- dcut of thy Blue Point Bouid of Education , who said that this area is growing at such a pace that residents cannot sit back and find themselves eventually faced with an impossible situation. The problem has been under discus- sion for at least two years but actual action was begun last win- ter with a survey by the State Department of Education. In or- der to continue the best possible education standard with the low- est possible cost , he said , it ap- pears to be wise to consolidate. He stated that the proposal had the unanimous approval of the Blue Point board. Mr. Young, again referring to the 12-niember Citizens ' commit- tee , called on Paige Moore , in the absence of Dr. Singleton , the . \huirmun , to explain to those who had not been at the previ- ous meeting the report of the committee. Mr. Young then took the floor and announced that the Bayport Board was ready to state that it unanimously recommended con- solidation ip order to maintain the quality and standing of the school and said that not only the childre n but the community a. < well will benefit from the move. He then appointed Edmund Brown , Robert Sword s and James Alva rez of Bayport and Robert Brown , Albeit Berg and Mrs. Ce- celia Xickelsen of Blue Point as tellers.

Patchogue LAST PATCHOGUE — Princi- pal \ ern Cnt7. reports that school enrollment figure* here have jumpe d to 204 , the highest number of students over to attend the school. Last year the school had ro, studi-nts enrolled when the . -chi.nl year came to a close. According to Mr. Critz , the East 1 -tchogue school kindergarten i „ 'istration took a big jump this year with 12 students enrolled. I Ins repr.-sents an increase of 13 over the 11*51-52 fi gure. With only 10 students graduat- ing from the East Patchogue school in ,jn„ 0 ( t j le additional en- rollees will make 1952-53 the bi g- gest year in the school' s history. Statement Cont'd, from page 1 , this section haven and Isli p, Suffolk county, New York. ' Need for Hospital \Time and time age in , our peo- ple have given evidence of then awareness that there is a great need for a hospital in the Patch- ogue area. To lie very elementary and practical , wc ail know that hospitals just don 't happen -ant 1 , to build them costs money. There- fore, we of the Bro ikhaven Me- morial association e\ , j ' .). -ei ,he various means of raising that money most effectively. Our in- vestigation disclosed that hosp itals in our nei ghboring communities , such as the Eastern Long Island hospital , Greenport; Central Suf- folk hospital , Riverhead; South- ampton hospital , Southampton , and Southside hospital , Bay Shore , all utilized professional services in raising the required sums of money for their hospital building pro- grams. Further investigation showed most conclusively that such institutions which had en- deavored to raise funds on their own had been unsuccessful—the failure in those instances was not attributed to the fact that the leaders were not capable or that the campaign workers lacked en- thusias m and zeal, but that proper organization and experienced di- rection were absent. Need for Experience \When you consider the prepara- tion , organization , training, public- ity and clerical work that must of iiectssity bt» done to realize a cam- paign goal of ours—namely $500 , - 000—spread over an area including some 20 communities , you can eas- ily r see that no one person or group of persons in our community, no matter how well-intentioned or experienced , could take leave from his own business to devote his full time to this task for at least five months. Therefore, the only logical conclusion to be drawn was that pro fessional direc- tion was an absolute necessity for the effective conduct of such a project as ours. \Before going ahead with a campaign , the board retained , without cost, tho firm of Commun- ity Counselling service , Brooklyn , New York , to undertake a survey of the Patchogue area for the purpose of ascertaining tho ele- ments necessary for a successful campaign , namely: \1. The need for a hospital. \2. The availability of necess- ary money in the hospital service area. \ o. Leadership. Survey Taken \In the course of the survey approximatel y 50 of our leading citizens , representing a cross-sec- tion of our population were visited. Some of you here probably wore interviewed during the survey. The findings of the four week sur- vey showed facts similar to those revealed three years ago in the survey made by another fund rais- ing firm on a fee basis , with the exception that the more recent one brought forth such additional current information as was con- sistent with the growth of this community. \Prom the findings of that sur- vey, too , Community Counselling service indicated that sufficient funds could be raised in the area provided that honest and unselfish and complete cooperation was re- ceived from each and all of our citizens. After due consideration of sev- eral fund raising organizations and several meetings in connection with the negotiation of contract details , the board agreed that the financial arrangements offe red by Community Counselling service was the most reasonable and satis- factory, and there fore retained that firm. \This organization has conduct- ed building fund campaigns which were oversubscribed in such areas as Amityville , Baby lon , Bellport , Lindenhurst , Patchogue and Riv- erhead. Furthermore , tho board has on file a letter from the board of Jamaica hospital , highly recommending Community Coun- selling service , which had suc- cessfully and effectively conduct- ed their campaign for $500,000. Flat Fee Fixed \We feel that you as re p resen- tative citizens of this community, should know the correct details of the financial arrangement mad e with this organization , so that , fortified with the truthfu l facts you will know and can tell the true story. \The firm of Community Coun- selling service has been retained on a flat fixed fee basis. There are no commissions or percent- ages to be paid. This fee is $15 , - 000 and is payable over a period of five months during which pro- fessional services will he render- ed. The firm has estimated that the operational expenses will not be in excess of $11 , 000. Not one penny of this money will go to the fund raising firm . Further- more , it has been agreed tnat the operational expenses shall be spent within the hospital servbe area where practical . In addition , the contro l of this money rests entirely with the Brookhaven Memorial association and all ex- penditures must be approved by the board . \Further concrete evidence of confidence in the ultimate success of the hospital campaign is mani- fested in the fact that four mem- bers of our Board of Directors r>f the Brookhaven Memorial as- sociation have agreed to under- write both the fee and opera- tional costs in order that every dollar donated by the public will go to the Hospital Building Fund campaign. I repeat , every dollar donated by the public will go to the Hospital Fund campaign. Furman Accept* \Present with us is Hugh Fur- man , a member of one of the oldest and most respected fami- lies in the area , who has gra- ciously consented to accept the general chairmanship of our cam- paign for a minimum of $500 , 000 and will lead our citizens in this great unde rtaking.
