It ' s so minor that it ' s hard l y worth mentioning. The anestheti c is e/oing tt> be \local \ so I'll be in a position to observe all at work. The operation is not the story. The real story will be about those who are dedicated to their every- dav tasks at Brookhaven Memorial Hospital . Thinking about the mild \ or- deal\ ahead, of course , gives me butterflies in the stomach. My fingers at present are sweating and slipping off the typewriter keys. You can imagine how I'd react if. in the future. I must go there for anything of a serious nature. I remember Brookhaven Memor- ial when it was a mass of steel girders and concrete on the way up. The girders were cold and im- personal. Befo re the doors and windows were set in p lace , a frigid wind sliced through the corridors . It was mid-Winter , and I \va> scrambling around with camera in hand to give you a pictorial report on how things were going. I came across a group of work - men on a coH' oe break. They offer- ed me some and I took it gladl y. They impressed me , at first , as b eing a rough crew. But as we batted the breeze , the place seem- ed to warm up a little. Their hands were setting the girdet- in place. Their bands were carrying the bricks ami mortar. They were warm , human hands that felt the cold as much as mine did. Their hearts we re singing, as brick bv brick , a structure of mercy arose from naked ground. When the building reached com- pletion. I covered its ceremonial opening by camera and pencil. All along, there was something ticking a-way in the back of my mind. When the ceremonies were over, and I was eutting back to the office to do the story. 1 suddenly realized what the ticking in my mind was all about. The realization flashed that someday I mig ht be a patient at this hospital. Now . as you ' re reading this. I am. Nothing serious , but it does give me the chance to meet the pro- fessional workers whose hands and minds are giving this structure of steel and mortar a soul that trans- forms it into a hospital. I'!. ' remain overnight , catch a collection of needles , scissors , knives and catgut tomorrow , and then go back to my typewriter . My heart goes out to those who are here now , those whose afflic- tions demand things little short of miracles to survive. What I intend to do is record the sights of visitors tonight, their words and the words of patients around me . I intend to describe my feelings in a hospital bed awaiting an operation in the morning. I' m going to tune in on the conversations of doctors and nur- ses. I' m going to follow their movements in the halls from the ant ' s eye view of a patient. I'll have at least one meal here . I don ' t think I'll be eligible for one tomorrow morning, because that ' s, when my big deal will take place. I should be back at my type- writer tomorrow night. Then , I' m certain , I'll have a remarkable story to tell you all. Cold type will be f ed into a big machine , great, gobs of black ink will run across the platens , paper will roll and I'll be back at the old grind again. Right now, I don 't know what you 'll he reading next Thursday At any rate . I hope you 'll be watching for it. At i FPTfNr, r.AVFT is Mrs - Le » Borkoski of Water f r r , ,,, . VJ/\V£X.

The Board of Supervisors here Monday approved the purchase of the second dredge from the?* Ellicott Machine Corporation of Baltimore , Md., for $Xir > y QQQ. Re- lated equi pment such as tenders , small boats and barges , is expect- ed to cost another $300 , 000. The \Shinnecock\ was purchased from the same company five years ago , and has been used extensivel y since that time. County Executive H. Lee Dennison said the second dredge would be delivered within six months. The board filed without com- ment a letter from Attorney George Furman of Patchogue , who represents several private dredging companies. Mr. Furman bad asked the supervisors to post- pone for six months the purchase of the dredge to g ive his clients time to submit figures which they claim will show their companies can do dredging cheaper than the county . The way was cleare d f or the pu rchase of the dredge three weeks ago when Supreme Court- Justice L. Barron Hill tossed out a motion by a private contractor who charged the county ' s action in buying one dred ge five year's ago , and the second one, were il- legal. On February f> , at the re- quest of Babylon Supervisor Ar- thur Cromarty, who is Suffolk Republican chairman , the Board of Supervisors gave the dredging companies a month to submit their cost figures. In related action Monday, the board by separate resolutions ap- proved $425 ,000 for the dred ging of the mouth of r>he Nissemuv ¦- River in Smith town, and $110 , 000 for the dred^in^ and improvement of 1 .000 feet of beach on the bav side of the Great Barrier Beach in Southampton Town , just south of East Quogue. The resolutions authorized Coun- ty Public Works Commissioner Herman Bishop to advertise for bids to private contractors and award contracts to the lowest bid- ders. Two months aco . the supervisors authorized a bond issue to finance the dr'-dging of the two wate v avces . Tha f resolution, had author- ized a tota 1 bond issue of $750,000. Smithtown Supervisor Robert Brady said a channel , (i . 000 fee long, 200 feet wide, and eight feet deep at low water, will be dredged fro m outside the mouth of the Nissequogue River , south across the swampy area to the Riviera Drive section of San Remo , with a 200-foot arm extending westward to the Kings Park boat basin. The dredging will involve the removal of more than 500 , 000 cubic yards of sand and mud , Mr. Brady said. \This will be the first time the river has bee n open for navigation in 50 years , \ he stated. Southampton Supervisor Ste- phen F. Meschutt said the other dredging resolution calls for the removal of over 175 , 000 cubic ya rd s of sand from the southern area of Tiana Bay, along the bar- rier beach. About 1, 000 feet of town-owned beach , almost two miles west of the Shinnecock Inlet , will be improved by the dredging, Mr. Meschutt told newsmen . He said 500 feet of the beach will be bulkheaded. The fill is to be placed on the barrier beach to sho ' i' e up the dunes , and to deve- lop a large parking field.

County Clerk Norman E. Kli p]. * ran into a barrage of criticism from the Democratic supervisors at the morning session when he served notice on the board that he must curtail motor vehicle and tassport services now provided at brunch o ffices in Bab ylon . Hun t- ington and Patchogue because of increased work and decreased funds. Supervisors Robert J. Kl ynn of Huntington and Robert A. Brady of Smithtown hotl y accused Mr. Klipp of using \ pressure tactics \ when the GOP o fficeholder preseut- •d a resolution providing for a $35 , 000 appropriation to cover the salaries of 10 full-time- and four part-time employes for the balance of the year. They said Mr. Kli pp should have brought his problems and proposals to the board in executive session instead of air- ing them at the open meeting. Mr. Flynn charged and Mr . Klipp conceded that some of the budgeted funds have been used to pay pait-time janitors in the branch offices , in defiance of a directive requiring all count y agencies to make use of the jani- torial service provided by the pub- lic works department. The county clerk explained that since he is responsible for the proper opera- tion of the motor vehicle bureau and the large sums of money it receives in license fees , he hired j anitors of his own selection. \You deliberately went against the wishes of the boaz-d and now you want us to bail you out , \ snap- ped the Huntington supervisor. Mr. Kli pp, who cited facts and figures to show his department has eight fewer permanent emp loyes than were on the payroll in 1!): ' -!) despite a heavier workload , was as stoutl y defended by the Republi- can supervisors. Southold Super- visor Lester M. Albertson offered to introduce his resolution , and Supervisor Step hen I' . Mescnutt recalled that he had previously asked the board to augment his depleted budget , but without re- sult. \The question is: Shall we con- tinue these service - or n ot? \ a-k- ed Babylon Supervisor Arthur M. Cromarty. '\Shall we vote the money or curtail the services ' . '\ Supervisor Evans K. Grilling of Shelter Island declared the county clerk' s office is faced with an emer - gency, not of its own m aking. \It is silly to bury our heads in ( lie sand and ignore the situation. \ lie added. By mutual consent, the super- visors deferred action until the afternoon session. Returning from lunch, they went into a huddle , and half an hour later , unanimousl y voted the .vl . 000 appropriation , to be app lied for temporary hel p. It was indicated , however , that further appropriations may be forthcoming . r l he $4 00:) wii' under- write the threatened services for another two or three weeks , Mr. Klipp told newsmen.

A K E RONKONKOMA — Over 200 persons met in DeGen- naro ' s I.a kevicw Inn February 10 for a discussion on the subject of frozen water pipes. The meet- ing- was sponsored by the Maple- crest Civic Association of Lake Ronkonkoma. Delegations from six other ci- vic associations attended, as well as representatives of the Cham- ber of Commerce of the Ronkon- komas. H r o o k h a v e n Supervi- ser August S ( out.

The last two homes without wa- ter were made serviceable early last week when the town gave permission to the water company to open tho street to reach the underground pi pes. A Maplecrest official has stated his organization intends to con- tinue to look for a permanent solution to the problem before next Winter. He said consolida- tion of the many small water companies into one larg-e district l would be a step in the rig-ht di- rection. Pie also said Assembly- man Perry B. Duryea, Jr., assur- ed representatives of the associa- tion that present laws permit such consolidation. The Farming-ville Water Coni - ne ny, which supplies water to Maplecrest , provided hose adapt- ers for the waterless homes so the owners could tap the water supply of a luckier neighbor. This _ proved unworkable and the families of stricken homes were forced ro resort to the old-fashion- ed crude system of carrying wa- ter to their homes via buckets , residents said. Also at the February 19 meet- ing, the lT- ti J slat\ o' \ Manlecros * officers was installed. They are Michael J. Connuughton , presi- dent; Albert Vassallo , first vie president: Frank VeJla , second vice president; Norbett Juenenman treasurer; Mrs. Nancy Marino , re- cording secretary, and Herman Schwenk , corresponding secretary On the hoard of directors are Harry Rahn , Anthony Quarteraro John Morris , Alan Mann and Nor- man Serafin.
