Tickets can be still obtained at the Town hal l or at drug- stores throughout the town , as well as at the door. The tercentenary committee has urged all citizens to fly the American flag today throughout Brookhaven town to mark the be- ginning of its 300th anniversary. The new Town flag will be dis- played at the ceremonies here tonight. A gala July 4th weekend is scheduled , with a Boy Scout jam- boree , band concert , ball game , aquacade , bathing beauty con- test , motorboat races. There will also be special church i services and a mammoth parade with floats depicting events in the town ' s history. A fireworks dis- play will close the four-day cele- bration. Tercentenary Reward Is Offered To Finder of $150 • A Patchogue woman is hoping somebody realizes that honesty is the best policy. The woman lost S150 in the business district between last Thursday and Saturday while she was shopping. She had a $100 bill , two $20 bills and a $10 bill folded up in her wallet , but they dropped The money is urgently needed to pay bills , and a re- ward will be offered to the finder. The finder of the money is asked to contact Patchogue police, who will get in touch with the loser. PT AYTMr TWP %>M? T °f earlv Brookhaven towns rL«H.IirNVJ l OlJ JP^JVJ.

An Elks service was held there Tues- day night and services were held yeste rday afternoon at the church , with the . Rev. Carl G. Gernannt officiating. Interment was at Ce- dar Grove cemetery in Patchogue. C. W. Ruland and Sons , Inc., were in charge of arrangements. He leaves his parents , Mr. and Mrs. Michael Stiriz; a brother , Donald , and two sisters , Joyce and Patricia , all of East Patch- ogue. Young Severns was born in Sag Harbor and had lived in Patch- ogue for 20 years. A \Korean vet- eran , he attained the rank of corporal in the U. S. Army. He is survived by his mother , Mrs. Blanche Severns Briscoe of Patchogue; a b rother , Richard Severns, of Patchogu e , and his stepfather , John Briscoe of Pat- chogue. Funeral services will be held at 2 p. rri. today at the Pettit Funeral home , Patchogue , with the Rev. Mr. Gernannt officiating. Interment will follow in Wash- ington Memorial park , Coram. Other Mishaps Two other accidents , both of them involving serious damage to the vehicles and slight injury to drivers , were listed in the area during the week. Mrs. Charles Baumgartner of Giant Oak road , Ridge , survived a hair-raising mishap last Wed- nesday, when her car turned over on Route 25 while she ' was on her way to choir practice at St. Frances Cabrini R. C. church. Brookhaven town police attributed the mishap to a wet pavement and loosening of cement sections of the , road by winter weathering. A wheel or wheels of the car were evidently caught between sections and the car began spinn- ning when Mrs. Baumgartner tried to get out. The car was a complete wreck , but Mrs. Baum- gartner who suffered body bruises was able to climb out and con- tinue on her way to practice. A Mastic Beach man will ap- pear before Justice of the Peace Henry Ostermann tomorrow for a-hearing on a charge of driving while • intoxicated after being in- volved » ' ¦ in a head-on crash on Route -27 near Bellcvue avenue in East Moriches Sunday morn- ing. George Peppard of Lynbrook drive , Mastic Beach , and Joan McCluskey of Weeks avenue/ Mo- riches , were the two drivers - 'in- volved in the collision. Both suf- fered injuries and were treated at* Bayview hospita l , Mastic Bnach—Miss McCluskey for con- tusions - of both kn e es and shock and Peppard for lacerations of the forehead. Miss McCluskey charged that Peppard had been d riving while intoxicated and the Mastic Beach man was arraigned before Judge Os termann and released in $100 bail for tomorrow ' s hearing. Sergeant Robert Hoyt and Pa- trolman Frederick Zittel , who in- vestigated the accident , said the McCluskey car had been , tipped over , had had its hood twisted by the impact of the crackup and its bumper guard ripped loose. The Peppard vehicle had a com- pletely smashed front end and a bashed in side.

Parker Teamwork Wa tchword For Projects at BNL A-Lab Reports: (Editor ' s Note—This is the first of four articles which will be run in The Advance on projects at Brookhaven National laboratory.) I—Big Machines UPTON—Teamwork in atomic energy research played a lead- ing role in progress made during 1953-54 by 300 scientists of the Atomic Energy commission ' s Brookhaven National laboratory here and 111 others from collaborating institutions , according to the annual report of the laboratory which was just published. An example of large-scale co- operative effort is the giant , cube- shaped research reactor , or atomic pile. The reactor program ranges all the way fro m producing radio- active materials for use at Brookhaven and elsewhere , to supplying nuclear particles for treatment of brain tumor. From mid-1953 to mid-1954 , the reactor supplied radioisotopes to 122 manufacturers , educational institutions , government agencies and hospitals , as well as td, vir- tually every Brookhaven scientific department . At the reactor it- sell neutrons were used to ad- vance knowledge in many fields , such as chemistry, physics , engi- neering, biology and medicine. Experiments using neutrons were conducted by 30 teams of Brook- haven scientists and by others from 43 educational institutions and government agencies. . In the same .period , 39 govern- ment experiment stations and uni- versities sent plant seeds to Brookhaven for exposure to neu- trons in the reactor. At these in- stitutions , the seeds are planted to determine effects of neutron s in altering plant genetics or breeding. Still another reactor function is to produce high in- tensity sources of gamma rays. These rays are beginning to be used for many jobs , such as pre- serving food or producing chemi- cal reactions of commercial inter- est. Ten manufacturers , three government agencies and one uni- versity sent material to Brook- haven for exposure to gamma sources. Ultimately, it is hoped that these sources can be made fro m reactor waste products. The average research team at B rookhaven is composed of sev- eral scientists and technicians. One endeavor , however , involves two physicians from a collabor- ating hospital and the part-time participation of about 150 Brook- haven employes , all specialists in their respective fields—physicians , nurses , physicists , reactor opera- tors , chemists, electronics special- ists and laboratory technicians. Neutrons are used in attempting a new attack on brain cancer in human patients . The feasibility of the method as a routine treat- ment has not yet been proved. Six different Brookhaven groups are testing metallurgical and chemical engineering systems which show promise for the eco- nomica l production of nuclear power. The reactor is useful in , many of these tests. Representa- tives ¦ of seven power companies and related industries hold weekly study meetings on -electric and nuclear power technology. Another center of cooperative activity is the cosmotron , a mas- sive iron \doughnut\ 75 feet in diameter. This synchrotron ac- celerates nuclear particles (pro- tons) to energies comparable to those of cosmic rays in the outer atmosphere. When such particles shatter target atoms, resulting fragments detected in research equipment can provide clues on the mysterious universe inside the atom. Six teams of Brookhaven phy- sicists and 11 teams from nine eastern universities have set up cloud chambers or scintillation counters to work with cosmoiron- produced particles. A large Brookhaven group and units at nine unive rsities or colleges use film emulsions which they study after exposure to the particles. . One group of Brookhaven chem- ists analyzes target materials bombarded by particles, to deter- mine nuclear properties of tar- get atoms . \Super-Cosmotron \' A new Brookhaven group is designing a \ super-cosmotron \ which will be about 800 feet in diameter. In the past , small uni- versity cyclotrons have been built by a professor and a few gradu- ate students , but some 80 Brook- haven employes are now involved in the new synchrontron project. Also collaborating is Stone & Webster , an outside engineering firm which -will plan and build tunnel-shaped housing and other buildings , utilities and equipment to support the Brobkhaven-built machine. A center of collaboration not involving machines is a nine-acre agricultural field. Here , in the summer of 1954 , five teams of Brookhaven biologists and rep- resentatives of 14 educational in- stitutions and five agricultural experiment stations exposed vari- ous plants to gamma rays given off by radioactive cobalt metal. Many of the radiation effects are damaging, but a few show signs of so alterin g the heredity of plants that useful changes take place. Radiation produces many more mutations, or . changes , ' than occur normally in nature. ,Thus it increases . the opportunity 'to improve future plant generations. Chronic irradiation also can cause changes in growth patterns of plants. An example is a form of tumor produced in one type of tobacco plant. Changes in growth pattern are probably due to dis- turbances which radiation causes in the life process , rather than in the heredity, of a plant. : . Typical results of team re- search at Brookhaven are de- scribed in the three following ar- ticles: \The World Inside the Atom , \ \Radiation Pro 'duees \Use- } ful Changes \ and '^Radiation I Seeks Out Inf ormation. \ - ¦ ' Coram s Civic s Seek 'Cleanup ' Of Disposal Pit Out to rid their community of conditions which they term \de- plorable , \ members of the Coram Civic association have called on the Broo\khaven Town ' board to clean up the -Coram disposal pit. In a letter received by the board Tuesday, the civics asked that a four-point cleanup program be instituted. Suggestions outlined in the letter include regular clean- ing and policing of roads leading to the p it , cleaning of the prop-> erty and fencing of the disposal areas , prohibition of the disposal of stripped down cars , and the in- stitution of regular hour for dumping, which would be done only under the supervision of a> town employe. Justice of the Peace Lester Davis voiced approval ot ibd civics ' suggestions ; \There is a terrible situation up there and we should do something -about it ,\ he. said. At . his request , the - matter was referred to ' Town 'Highway Superintendent Charles 'Barraud for investigation. - Mr. Barraud will report to the board with a recommendation for lietion to he taken to clean up and police the dumping area. OBfTUARY RICHARD O. RIDGEWAY, 66 , of Route 25 and Medford road , Ridge , died Tuesday in the Mid- dle Island Fire department am- bulance en route to Mather Me- morial hospital. He had suffered a heart attack in his home. He was born in Maryland and' had lived in Ridge since 1939. Hd was the owner of the ; R£dgewayj Motor Parts business ' in .

Cont'd fro m page 1 , this section by and other school officials will be presen t Monday night for the open meeting which is designed \ to clear up any misunderstand- ings or doubts in the minds of district voters. \ The meeting, which will begin at 8 p. m., will take the form of a question-and- answer session which should \ clear the air on any pertinent questions , \ according to Mr. Pe- disich. Taxpayers will also receive committee brochure s on the cen- tralization issue before the Thursday vote , Mr. . Pedisich said. Voting on centralization next Thursday will be held during the afternoon. Should centralization pass , a vote on a board of edu- cation f or the centralized district will be conducted that same ni ght. The meeting will begin at 1:45 p. m. , with election of tem- porary officials for the balloting. Votes on the issue will be counted and the board vote , if there is to be one , will begin at 8:30 p. m. A candidate ' s name will be placed on the ballot when he has been nominated and seconded. No petitions are needed. As the voting shapes up now , the 15 candidates who have al- ready thrown their hats into the ring include nine board members and six taxpayers running on a platform of opposition to action taken by the Holbrook and Holts- ville-Farmingville boards. Only in Lake Ronkonkoma do board candidates appear to have a clear field. In Holbrook , Mr. Napoli , who is treasurer of The Patchogue Bank and .treasurer of the Hol- brook Civic association , joins an anti-board slate which includes Robert J. Williams and Philip R. Cruz. Ex-board members who plan to run for the Holbrook posts on the nine-man centralized board include Vice President Al- fred Steiger , Herman W. Beebe and Mrs. Mary Bedell. In the Holtsvilie-Farmingville area , Erich W. Dallmer , Edward C. Benjamin and William Cry- er are opposing former board President Harry Fields ' , and members Richard Phitpitt and Arthur S. Bahnmuller. ' Former members of the Lake Ronkonkoma boa rd , who have no announced opposition , are Presi- dent Phili p L. Hans , Charles Seibert and Clerk Francis C. Hugelmeyer . The Lake Ronkon- koma board has been conducting business for the district pending the election of either a consoli- dated or centralized body which would take office Jul y 1.
