Students are mem- bers of Mrs. Muriel O'Brien ' s Third Grade class. —Russell Wygand Photo A \trip \ to Hawaii was taken': by Mrs . Muriel O'Brien ' s Grade 3 class of the River Avenue school in Patchogue Tuesday. The trip was started in Septem- ber , the day that school opened. As part of the third grade citizen- shi p education progra m , which suggests the study and comparison of another community to that in which the children live , they launched into a thorough study of Hawaii. They did map work , a Hawaiian landscape mura l and through the cooperation of Mrs . Lenetta Klein and the Patchogue library, books of all sorts—even books published in Hawaii—were in the classroom library corner. Comparisons were made between Hawaii and Long Island as to industry, land formations , food, clothing, transportation and hous- ing. When they started , to these eight year olds, Hawaii was a patch of sand with a volcano and some pineapp les. Now they have acquired a great deal of know- ledge concerning the Hawaiian way of life—the old and the new. Old Hawaii , as Colonial U. S. A., had a great deal of charm which ' modern industry and modern ^ efficiency have done away with . For instance , after learning about the native Hawaiian dish , \ poi , \ the children were rather disillu- sioned to learn that \ poi\ is now sold ;n supermarkets , no longer ground by hand. Furthermore , one can buy one finger , two finger or three finger \ poi. \ One fi n ger \ poi , \ being the thickest , is a mouthful , two finger \ poi\ is thinner and three finger \ poi\ is the thinnest , needing three fingers to scoop up enough for a mouthful. This unit has provided these third graders with material for English (i. e. letterwriting, litera - ture and telep hone etiquette). It has been coordinated will) spell- ing, writing, music , arithmetic and art . The children have learned many Hawaiian songs and even have developed a hit of a Hawaiian vocabulary: Muniuu—a loose Ha- waiian dress; hum — a Hawaiian feast; poi—a food made of meal that substitutes for potatoes; aloha —hello or good-bye; lei—necklace of flowers; and many others. We have had on ' disp lay genuine coconut straw hats, mumi'us , hand carved travs and dishes , a sarong and Hawaiian jewelry. Because these eig ht year olds found it hard to believe that one could call someone thousands of miles away on the telephone , they set out on another project—check- ing with the telephone company to see if it could be done and saving money to do it. It was a long hard road that saw many waste paper baskets emptied , toy boxes cleaned and baby sisters minded , but thev finally saved 58.65. Next , a Hawaiian school was contacted at Ilona on the Island of Maui. Through the kindness of Francis Hatanaka. the princi- pal , (a distant relative of Mrs. George Buchheit of the River Ave- nue faculty ) contact was made with one of his third grades* This grade is taught by a Mrs. Alice Kivon. Since they expressed great anticipation at receiving material from Mrs. O'Brien ' s third grade , an exchange has started. So far , the Patchogue scliool has sent drawings , charts , sample papers , bibliograp hies , a mura l , many letters , Christmas cards and a i lass picture as well as a map of Patchogue , together witn some other historical and geograp hical material. The climax of this project was reached Tuesday, when the River Avenue third graders actually telephoned Hawaii. The children expressed their pleasure at having Hawaii for a new state, they asked the Hawaiian childre n to send more of their work and expressed greetings for the holiday season. It is interesting and significant to note that this project came f rom the children , from their interests , from their questions and was used to teach the require d 3 li' s p lus all the rest that is required by the stete curriculum and in addition to all that , it was fun!

Bids Continued from page 1 , this section gram for residents of Konlion- koma. Arthur Prcmni. president of the Oukdale-Iiohcmia board , said his hoard feels that its district might profit b y remaining as an independent district with its own high scliool facilities. Last week , a similar petition to the Oakdalo-liohemia School board was sent, to Mr. Allen , hut Oak- dale seat a letter opposing the merger vote. Under the law , a petition with 10 or more names on it requesting a vote on such a question must, be forwarded to Albany. The Oakdale petition had 20 unlinks . The Konkonkoma peti- tion had -10 names , with more ex- pected before the week was out. Meanwhile , the Ronkonkoma dis- trict' s ' new K-!l primary school opened Monday. Mr. Pokorny said that the district huilt the school in order to relieve classroom space in the elementary school so that .junior and senior high school pu- pils could go there. Mr. Pokorny said that the 10- classroom , Sj>!?70 , <l00 building has already saved $180 , 000 for the dis- trict. To build another elementary school building would be dup licat- ing special room areas not needed by K-;j pupils , he said , citing a large gymnasium as an example. The primary school building ac- Zoning Appeals Continued from page 1 , this section the p lanning and zoning boards to achieve more effective results in the gasoline station field. Richard DeTurk , planning con- sultant of Smithtown , indicated that the use of professional p lan- ring consultants to coordinate the work of planning boards , hoards of zoning appeals and town boards and village trustees is the excep- tion rather than the rule . He aigued for greater use of pro- fessional consultants even if only on a part-time basis. Seth A. Hubbard , chairman of (ho Suffolk County Planning board , spoke of the need for t oordina- commodates , 'iOO pupils. Thus , there are no double sessions in the dis- trict now. Mr. Pokorny said that the K-3 had first been suggested by Walter M. Ormsby, supervisor of the Second Supervisory district. Singular honors have come to the architect , Frederick Allardt , Jr., of Southamp ton , who has been invited to exhibit the building at the National Association of School Administrators convention to be held in Atlantic City in February. The Ronkonkoma K-3 has also been referred to as one of the out- standing school buildings of 1959 . lion between his county planning board and local municipalities. Charles T. Matthews , town at- torney of Huntington , cautioned the boards to follow the law as enacted by the various legislatures. He mentioned that the boards are to grant special exceptions only if the standards in the various ordinances are met in ail respects. Mr. Plonski announced liiat the next meeting will be for chair- men and clerks to further discuss applications and forms , public notice , notice to adjoining proper- ty owners , filing decisions , index- i li g decisions , meeting times , zoning maps , budget vouchers , etc. FF rC^ OFFiriAT v5siu d »'»«» '»««« ILL.rvO \J£ r t^l/AL.

Robertson , president of the Port Jefferson Board of Education , who charged the Home Builders institute had a \ vested interest in tile profit motive , \ Elbert Smith , president of the Middle Island School board , who expressed a \fear \ of \low-grade housing \ ; and Alfred G. Cuffe of Port Jefferson who said the upzoning would bene- fit taxpayers because they \ won ' t have to go to the zoning board of appeals when they want to build additions. \ Also speaking- in favor of the measure were Dr. David Alburger and Ral ph Westin , repre- s<mt ; ng the Central District 4 ( Bellport , East Patchogue and Brookhaven) Board of Education. Mr. Westin offered a petition of 1 , 500 names in favor of the pro- posal. Speaking against the proposal was William F. Clair of Bay Shore , representing Walter T. Shirley of Shirley, L. I., Inc. He told the board that \ common sense \ should make the board see they would not solve any prob- lems with upzoning. \Many land- owners in Shirley — in large part a summer colony—would be hurt, \ he said. He stated there was no comprehensive plan for upzoning no provision made in the proposed ordinance for relief and no indica- tion from the board as to the substance of a relief clause. Pres- ent , though he did not. speak , was Mr. Shirley, along with some of his staff. A speaker from the Moriches Bay a rea was Nicholas Bouhouris , a builder who is president of the Shirley L. I. Taxpayers ' associa- tion. He called upzoning an \insult to intelligence. \ \I' m not a big- shot builder and I' ve got nobody to speak lor me. But I know there ' s onl y one industry in this town worth a damn—building. Re- strict that and what do you have ' . ' Up. ' .uning means one big slum. \ Mr. Bouhouris suggested that each individual school district be al- lowed to have a re ferendum on the matter. \ Others who went on the record in favor of the measure were Albert Hodgkin , pr.side.nt of the Brookhaven Village association; John Evans of Setaiiket , and Helen Peters of Yap hank. Imp lied in many of the arguments of the upzoning proponents was the claim unit larger plot size would bring fiwer people of a different \ class '' to the town , which would alleviate the school overcrowding problem. In opposition to this view was attorney Sanford C. Davidow , re- presenting the Gordon Heights Building and Development organi- zation, who d.clai'cd; \The kills will stay in the district , only they will liv e in two-family homes. You can ' t legislate away school chil- dren, Mr. Raynor. I think we shou.d have more peop le out here to help us pay off long-term school bond issues. \ \And bring in more children , \ cut in Mr. Raynor. \If you think otherwise , Mr. Supervisor , you tell ' em , \ declared Mr. Davidow , pointing to the crowd behind him. One way to lower taxes , accord- ing to Mr. Davidow , is to have people without children in the town. Summer residents and re- tired persons would be \ chased out\ by the upzoning, he said. In- dustry too , would be scared off , the attorney said. John Gallagher , president of the North Shirley Civic association , said the upzoning was akin to making all men of the township wear only one size suit. \People won 't be able to build houses , so the government will have to build for them. Let the people in Stony Brook live in mansions , we want to live within our means. \ Mr. Gallagher was roundl y applauded. Otlur opposition voices main- tained the proposed action of the town board was \ confiscatorial\ and a violation of the United States constitution. They main- tained that persons buying pro- perty in the town have a right to expect the zoning of their land will stay the same. In a light.r moment , one peti- tioner to.d the board: \Nobodj knows how many square feet are necessary to conceive a child. Gentlemen- not only the poor but the rich have children. \ Later in the afternoon , Mr. Ray- nor asked for a show of hands to indicate who was for and against the proposal. There were ' .W pvo- upzoning and 75 against. Mr. Ray- nor commented that he believed most of those for the upzoning are Jrookhaven town residents. \How do you know ' . '\ came back a protesting voice. \What difference does it make?\ shouted another . Then it was pointed out that many of the pro-upzoning forces had ' left after they had had their chance to speak. \Then they don ' t count if they don 't care enough to stick around. \ shouted an angry opponent of up- zoning. Minimum building lot sizes in D and C residence zones are now 75 by 125 fret. B residence mini- mum ' s are 100 by 150 feet. D and C. differ in that two-famil y homes are allowed in D residence am! construction in C residence ia limited to one-famil y homes. <g:ie!€*e!gieietgi£<ei£iS!€!«!si€<s!e>e'e««isiate««fa!efeta«s'2' -ei€<e;'€ic!3'€'s'€ , -eict£'ei«!€te^ | JOIN OUR g% | I ChristmasJa Club FOR | * _ ^ r**~ n - ' >$ ^™® % m ^ \fl C b^3f^ f | \ 1^Emmam *mmS3SSSm *Bm\ Save steadil y j; S Drponll Weekly Receive in 50 Wee In f ot tll C HappI- a g $ .50 $ 25.00 * n • } « 5 l.oo so.oo est Christmas a g 2 .00 100.00 t VOur % g 3.oo 150.00 ever at your g g s-oo 25o.oo house.
