HOLDING STILL for his first haircut is five-week-old Andrew Mashkow , son of Mr. and Mrs. George Mash kow of Fanni ng Landing Road , Moriches , while barber Robert Lentini of Shirley, applies the electric clippers. Joining Andy under the draped cloth , and holding him up for the occasion , is his sister, Jean. Andy had developed the habit of pulling his ample stock of hair , and screaming. His do cto r prescribed the haircut as a sol ut ion to the pr oblem. - Advance Photos by Lou Grasso Bsfore Aftif _____ BE FORE , top photo - Andy is held by his father , Gsorge., just prior to the first of many haircuts he will receive during his lifetime.

Andy is being held during the protest by siste r Jean, B y Lou Grasso Andrew Martin Mash- kow had his hair cut Monday. Ordinaril y this is not a matter of much news importance - but this was And y ' s first hair- cut. Still not too much news value , for everyone has their first haircut sooner or later. Rut Andy ie only five weeks old l That' s news . Andy, you see , was born No- vember 24 at St, Charles Hos- pital in Port Jefferson with a wry healthy and hea r/ crop of h&Jr. In fact , Mrs, George Mash- kow of Fanning Landing Road , Moriches recalled yesterday, \AH I could see when be was born was a little face , a deep dimple , and a lot of heir . \ ' I was shocked ,\ she added. So was Mr. Mashkow. So were the nurses. And so were the visitors to the maternity wing who would line the window to ad- mire the hairy-topped youngster. Is there a history of heavy crops of hair ln the menfolk side of the family, we wondered? \Not really, \ Mrs. Mashkow said, \My father had a re- ceding hairline. \ \Me too , \ said Mr. Mashkow , smiling. How about the other Mashkow young- sters , we asked. We learned: George , three-and-a-half years of age , was bom with little hair. Jean, now 15 , also born with little hair. Samy with Debby, now 12. Helen , 13 , however , was different. She had lots of hair , which as a matter of fact , was all fixed up with pretty ribbons when she was first brought to her mother. But that was different—she ' s a girl. Andy ' s first haircut is news- worthy for one 6ther reascs. It was performed on the advice of his doctor. Andy had a habit as do most babies , said a murse at Brookhaven Memorial Hos- pital , of raising his hands to his head. With most other babies, however , they had nothing to grab while their hands were up there. Andy had hair , however , and lots of it. So , he would grab his hair. And wouldn ' t let go. And scream. \Only one solution to a pro- gram of that sort , \ said the doctor when advised of the sit- uation by Mrs. Mashkow. \Have his hair cut. \ And so It was that Robert Lentini , whose father operates Joe ' s Barber Shop ln Shirley, was celled to the Mashkow home. Bob set but his tools carefully, while Andy was held by sister Jean, And the haircuolng be- gan. \Oh , \ moaned Mrs. Mash- kow as the electric dippers be- gan shearing AtuVs locks. Andy yawned. \ Oh , \ moaned Mrs. (Continued on Page 3 J Andy ' s first Haircut Eliminates His if®@cl for Grtasf 'Kid' Staff Comparison Of Sysfoms Is Revealing Much discusslonls beingwaged concerning the proposed start of a district-owned busing system in School District 32. Those who oppose the plan charge that lt will prove to be more costly- those who favor It say it Is more economical. In an effort to pro- vide facts to these discussions , The Advance has obtained sur- veys and cost analysis Informa- tion for both district-owned and private bus systems. This in- formation follows: The district Is currently using 17 full-time buses and five part- time buses , contracted from Fuoco Bus Company of East Patchogue. The district cost for a full time bus under the present contract with the bus firm is $7 , 800 per bus per year. A costly analysis received from a private bus company re- veals how this contract price Is obtained The analysis reports that the fixed costs per bus for a year ' s operation ¦ total $2 , 419.69. Thi s amount includes registration per bus , depreci- ation , interest , insurance , and garage rentaL It was pointed out that the Insurance costs in this total might be somewhat higher than those Included In the cost analysis figures , re- leased to District 32 residents via a brochure , because of high- er Insurance coverage. The estimated operating cost of a privately owned bus , with Included gasoline , oil , replace- ment parts , and its share of public utilities costs , totals ,$958.50. In addition , labor costs , which include salaries and bene- fits , total $4 , 842.40 , the analy- sis states. The total of these amounts Is $8 , 22Q.68 , which Is $42 0 higher than the price per unit under the district ' s contract with the Fuoco firm. The private company which prepared this analysis reported that the figures were average amounts found to be accurate over a period of years. . If this is average cost , how could a company do business fr less , where is the profit? The analysis reports: While the total cost to operate each unit may be over the bid price that a company may make to a school district , the returns and savings on part-time buses make it about a break even point , the profits to come from extra cur- riculum field trips and community charter trips.

CM Civic Association Asks Tn. for Sidewalks Little time was lost in the new -year before the recurring problem of whether Brookhaven Town should Install sidewalk s was presented to the new Town Board at Its organizational meet- ing Tuesday in Town Hall , Pat- chogue. Alex Sabosta of the Center Moriches Civic Association ap- peared to ask the board to au- thorize construction of 2 , 000 feet of sidewalk in the hamlet of Can- ter Moriches. Observing that lt was not the first such request made to the town board , Mr. Dominy said that It would be necessary for property owners along the proposed side- walks to form a sidewalk district to finanance their Installation. Mr. Sabosta contended that tha lack cf sidewalks on various streets creates a \hazard to chil- dren. \ He argued that the 1965 highway budget provided funds for such walk s . Superintendent of Highways Charles W. Barraud disagreed with him , soyingthere was \ no Item In the highway budget for that purpose \ and that it had been \ transferred to the Town General Fund. \ Mr. Do- miny explained that the term \ walks \ refers to the wooden walks maintained by the town on Fire Island. These walks have the same status as town high- ways. Mr. Dominy appointed Councilman William Rogers to work with Mr. Barraud on the question raised by tho CM as- sociation. Thomas M. Neppell & Son of 76 Neighborhood Road , Mastic Beach , was reappointed as the town ' s insurance agency. The firm of Malcolm S. Spel - man of Rockville Centre , was continued as consultant on mat- ters involving the Brookhaven Airport in Shirley. Franci s P. Rooney of Belle- view Avei-ii* . Center Moriches was appointed deputy town as- sessor. The town board will conduct a public hearing February 16 at 10 a.m. on the application of Joseph Cooper of the Bronx , for zone change from B residential to J-5 business ln order to con- struct a gas station In Mastic on William Floyd Parkway at Victory Avenue. Resident s of School District 32 (Mastic- Shirley-Moriches) will go to the polls Wednesday to. vote on the proposed pur- chase of 26 scho ol buses to initiate a di strict- owne d busing system. The polls , located at b oth the Nathani el Woodhull Ele- mentary and William Flo y d Schools , will be opened from 2 to 9 p. m. Registration for the vote was held at both schools yesterday, while an infor- mational meeting is scheduled onthe proposal at 8 p. m. Tuesday at the William Floyd S chool. In a brochure sent to area residents this week . thedistricf s board of education commented , ' \Because of the steadily rising cost of contract transportation of students in District 32, your Board of Education has investi- gated the possibility of district owned buses. A complete sur- vey of the district has been made in cooperation with Dr. William F. Phelan , district superinten- dent , and the office of Maurice G. Osborne, director of the di- vision of School Business Ma nagement , State Education Department. \ The brochure noted also? \Other district , having district owned transportation were visited by board members for additional Information. These districts in- dicated many advantages of dis- trict owned buses. \ Board members maintained at a meeting Monday that the pro- posed purchase of the 26 buses , at an estimated cost of $182, 000 , and the construction of a $75 , 000 maintenance facility, would add nothing to the district ' s current tax rate. \We can go into the district- owned busing system at this time at the same price as It would cost us to go to contract bus- ing again next year , \ a board member stated, ln stating their position as to why the board has proposed the establishment of a district-owned bus system a board spokesman stated; \It ls the duty of the Board of Edu- cation to the attention of the tax- payer any saving that is possible.

Hope Raised For Dredging Of Old Neck Hopes that the dredging of Old Neck Creek , originally In- cluded in the Forge Riverdredg- ing project for which bids and contracts have been negotiated , will be accomplished were raised this week with a statement by Brookhaven Town Supervisor Charles R . Dominy that he would make every effort to have Old Neck Creek dredged . Mr. Dominy told The Advance that he would ask the Suffolk County Board of Supervisors for . additional funds to accomplish this dredging. The Old Creek portion of the project was dropped because the lack of suf- ficient spoil area for the dredg- ing spoils raised the cost of the Forge River portion of the project. S poils will be deposited upon the Fire Island barrier beac h to bolster the sand dunes in areas where needed , but the added cost of pumping across the bay has raised the project ' s cost. Meanwhile , The Advance also learned , the Holiday Beach Prop- erty Owner ' s Association has withdrawn their request for spoils from the project follow- ing a meeting with officials from the Suffolk County Department of Public Works. \'We have come to the conclusion that the silt from the dredging project is not the kind of material we were looking for to bolster our beachfront , \ said a spokesman for the group this week. Just when the dredging opera- tions , in Forge River will begin depends entirely on the weather , a spokesman for the South Shore Dredging Company of Patchogue said this week. The firm was awarded the contract to perform the work ss a result of their low bid of $233 , 750. \We would love to get started tomorrow so that we could get our men back to work , \ said a firm spokesman this week. \But before we can do any dredg- ing we must build dikes to hold the dredging spoils. And we can ' t build dikes until we can move the ground , which is frozen at the present time. If the weather gives us a break we could start sometime in February, barring snowstorms or cold snaps. Just as soon as we can we 'll be in there. \ he added.
