Mr. Ran- ken said that the board , backed by the Citizens ' council , recom- mended that four additional school rooms and an auditorium be built to meet present and anticipated needs .

Firemen Put In Hectic Monday in Brookh aven BROOKHAVEN—Monday nigh t was a sleepless one for Brook- haven vamps. At about 9 p. m. Monday, the fire alarm sounded, -summoning :S2 fi remen to a brush fire on Yaphank avenue , north of Mon- tauk highway here. The blaze , staited from smoldering hedge- rows which had been burnt out by contractors clearing the land , was put out without spreading, and the firemen returned to the firehouse. Just as they were putting their firefighting equipment away, ac- cording to Chief Frank Craven , the alarm sounded again , this time for a storage building be- hind the Better 'Ole restaurant. Vamps arrived and made speedy work of the building, according to proprietor Jimmy Robbiano , who said that the firemen saved the restaurant , a mere 8 to 10 feet away, from the fire. Cus- tomers smelled smoke , Mr. Rob- biano said , and he was able to notify the vamps in time. The shed contained a walkin refriger- ator for the restaurant. The fire , probably caused by a hot com- pressor motor , was partially cov- ered by insurance , Mr. Robbiano said. He was unable to estimate damages. Returning from that one , the vamps were once more called to action—this time for another brush fire behind the Mastic Hour restaurant. Similar to the first fire , this one was quickly brought under control , and the firefighters arrived home shortly before it was time for most of them to get up and go to work.
