Town Weighs ' Vegas 9 Law Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John W. Burke announced that the Town Board will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, August 24, to consider adoption of a local law permitting certain games of chance to be conducted by qualified organizations as a means of raising funds for pur- poses in the general public in- terest. \The proposed local law, to be considered as a result of legislation passed during the latest session of the legislature and signed into law by the Governor, would permit what are commonly referred to as 'Las Vegas Nights',\ Burke stated. The proposal incorporates strict regulations to protect against infringement by non- charitable persons or organizations and as assurance for the proper conduct of the games and authorized disposition of net profit. Major provisions of the proposed local law, patterned after the State's model include: • The licensing of religious, charitable, veterans, educational, service organizations and volunteer fire companies chartered for a period of at least three years prior to the time of application to conduct games of chance. The Town's proposal specifically prohibits political organizations from making application. • Adoption of a games of chance definition permitting games in which prizes are awarded on the basis of designated numbers, colors or symbols, but specifically ex- cluding the operation of slot machines, bookmaking, policy or. numbers games. • Prohibition against the direct wagering of money between players. No single prize is to exceed the sum or value of $100. No series of prizes during any one licensed occasion is to exceed $1,000. The maximum amount of a single wager is to be $10. • Entire net proceeds are to be devoted to the purposes for which license application was made to the Town Clerk. • A licensing fee to conduct games during specified periods of not more than 14 consecutive hours each and a fee permitting the leasing of a premises to a bona fide organization for the purpose of conducting games. • The Nassau County Police Department is to make on-site inspection during each licensed period; the Commissioner of Police and the State Racing and [Continued on page 12] Village Sets Hearing For Fire Dispatch The Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of Far- mingdale has scheduled a public hearing for Friday night on their proposal to use Nassau County Fire Comm. dispatching. The trustees have scheduled the hearing for 8 p.m. Friday, August 20, to hear the public views on whether or not the village should avail itself of the facilities of the Nassau County Fire Commission. The conversion from local dispatching of fire calls to the Nassau County Fire Comm. system is opposed by local village volunteers, who urged to public to petition the trustees for a hearing. The conversion to Fire Comm. dispatching will result in the lay- off of three local dispatchers. [Continued on page 12] The firemen's parade is sched- uled for 7 p.m. Saturday and will form at Midwood Avenue and South Main Street. The parade route will follow South Main Street to Carmens Road, turn on Carmens Rd and continue south to the rear of the Inter-County Shopping Center. A band competition of all bands in the line of march will follow the parade.. Refreshments and seating will be available. On Sunday, August 29, the drill teams of the 9th Battalion will engage in an old fashioned Firemen's Drill Competition starting at 1 p.m. The drill events will also take place at the Inter- County Shopping Center on Carmen's Road, behind the F.W. Woolworth store. The competition will include events'such as; running ladder, hose efficiency, two-into-one hose, dummy carry, bucket brigade and motorized events.

Housewife Attacked, Stabbed In Home Eighth precinct police are searching for a teenage boy for the critical stabbing of a South Farmingdale woman in her home. Detective William Schultz of the eighth squad reported Mrs. Audrey Bauer, 36, of 145 Plitt Ave., was awakened at 1:45 a.m. by a person she described as about 18, five feet nine inches tall, with frizzy shoulder length hair tied with a polkadot bandana around his head and wearing a light colored jacket. Mrs. Bauer told police the intruder said, \I just want your body\ and she screamed. The youth, police said, then stabbed Mrs. Bauer three times in the cheat and once in the left shoulder. Mrs. Bauer's 14 year old son, Timothy, who was sleeping in a bedroom adjoining the family room where the attack took place, heard his mother's scream and rushed to a neighbor's home to call police and seek help. Mrs. Bauer's husband, Stanley, was not at home at the time of the attack and three other children were asleep in upstairs bedrooms. Police believe the intruder entered the home through an unlocked basement window and escaped out the kitchen door. The victim was taken to Mid- island Hospital, bethpage, where she underwent surgery for her wounds and was placed in the intensive care unit in critical condition. ^•'-•'••W ?: f?
