Board Acts To Curb Vandals Community Has Good Record ; Central Islip — The Board of Education has appealed to tax- payers of Central Islip to join with them \in combating the re- cent wave of vandalism to the Central Islip Schools \ According to a Board spokesman the Ceen- tral Islip community has done \ a good job in controlling juvenile problems \ in the past. The claim is supported by records-maintain- ed by the Suffolk County Police Department it was pointed out. According to school officials police authorities have reported that Cen- tral Isli p has fewer incidents of juvenile disturbances than many other communities. It is the Board' s plan to com- bat the community problem by asking parents to report instan- ces of window breaking or gen- eral mischief to school property to the authorities. Charles A. Mulligan , President of the Central Islip Board of Ed- ucation pointed out that this pro- gram of cooperation will not on- l y be for the benefit of each in- dividual taxpayer but also the child who may commit an act .of misichief and if not coorrected could be the start of a serious problem for that child. He also stated that the Board of Educa- tion will ask restitution for dam- age done to the school from par- ents of children committing such mischief. The Board has taken positive steps to correct the problem by assigning men to watchmen posi- tions in all of the Central Islip Public Schools. It is felt that this move will eliminate most of the difficulty. However the Board still feels the schools belong \to tlie peop le \ and they should have an active part in protecting their property.

Mr. Cromarty said \I have been asked by the executive committee of Suffolk County, by Governor Rockefeller personall y, and b y almost all of the State ' s political leaders as well as by hundreds of Republi- cans throughout Suffolk County to stay on as chairman and continue my leadership of the Republican party in Suffolk County. ARTHUR M. CROMARTY \After all the discussion and the many restless nights of weighing this question , 1 have come to my decision. \I have decided to stay on. \ The G. 0. P. leader culled on the delegates and all Suffolk County Republicans to work to- gether for an overwhelming Re- publican victory in November and p ledged that he would do everything in his power to assure a Republican landslide in Suffolk County for every Republican candidate .

Swinging gracefully from the rafters of her garage was a foot tall rhesus monkey. After letting out a shriek of womanl y fright Mrs. O'Neill called to her neigh- bors \There ' s a monkey in the garage \ and the chase was on. The garage door was slammed shut , police and dog wardens were summoned and every kid for blocks around soon converged to stare through the garage windows. Then Mr. O'Neill , a supervisor for Trans-World Airlines at Idle- wild Airport recalled that the pre- vious a fternoon a crate of some 20 Peruvian monkeys had arriv- ed at'the airport. The crate had broken and the little squirrel monkeys had quickly scurried all over the vast field. Eventual- ly nineteen of the animals had been recovered. Apparently, the twentieth was either smarter , or related to a simian hobo for he managed to hang on to the underside of the O'Neill car on its 45 mile trip from the airport to Brentwood. Town Dog Warden Wm. Krou- per , assisted by police who re- sponded in three patrol cars soon had the little monkey safel y cap- tured in an animal carrier. Neigh- borhood kids then visited the un- vited guest , many bringing bana- nas for the sharp-eyed little mon- key. Continued on Page 2
