Dow has submitted his letter of resignation to the Library Board of Trustees ef- fective December 1. He will accept a similar position in the City of White Plains in West- chester County. According to William Pinns, library board president, he received Dow's letter in the board's mail box Monday, November 1. Pinns told the Post that he felt that one month notice is not much time to consider replacing a man in such an im- portant post as director of the library system. Pinns said that the director is presently engaged in contract negotiations with library em- ployees. The library has also recently been involved with a proposal to rejuvenate the plan for a new central library on the site of the Main Street School to be paid for by federal funds under a new pubic works law. However, Pinns said the issue is probably a dead one now, since the school board rejected the initial proposal and there are now far too many municipal ap- plications filed for the federal funds available to New York State. [Continued on page 12] With the exception of a new Democratic President and a new Democratic U.S. Senator from New York State, Farmingdale voters will not have any problem remembering their representatives are. All the in- cumbents won re-election bids in Tuesday's election. The only change being made in the Town of Oyster Bay will be the appointment of a new Town Supervisor. John W. Burke won a seat on the New York State Supreme Court. Burke and Nassau County Judge Bernard Tomson won the only two con- tested seats in the high court race, defeating Eli Wagner and Alfred F. Samenga. Congressman Jerome A. Ambrb (D) retained, his third congressional district seat by defeating Town Councilman Howard T. Hogan. Jr. (R-C). Ambro's strong showing in his home Huntington area overcame Hogan's strength in the Town of Oyster Bay. Ambro polled 91,843 votes to Hogan's combined total of 83,899. Liberal Hy York was out of the running with 2,422. State Senator Owen H. Johnson (R-C) turned back the second challenge of Democrat Hillard Boss to win re-election in the 4th Senate District that includes Farmingdale. Johnson polled 50,477 votes to 43,802 for Boss. Assemblyman Philip B. Healey (R-C) cruised to an easy victory in the 11th Assembly District with a 13 thousand vote edge. Healey polled 28,820 votes to Roberta Miller's (D) 15,550 and Mary F. Roche's (L) 695. Assemblyman Louis Yevoli (D) again defeated Stuart R. Levine (R) in the 10th Assembly District that includes the Village of Farmingdale. Yevoli received 23,894 votes to Levine's 15,686. Joseph L. Connelly (C) 2,589 and Joel M. Meyers (L) 591, also ran.

NORTH WANTAGH Rosemary Kennedy Center, 2850 [Continued on page 5] November 11,1965 - 5:20 p.m. A little whatsit in a huge Canadian generating plant goes blotto, and the entire eastern seaboard of the United States is plunged into darkness. Millions of hapless citizens are trapped on electric trains, in elevators subways and traffic jams. In New York City, ten not-too-smart people spend an uncomfortable night on a dead escalator. Tons of frozen food turns into mush. Thousands trudge up countless flights of stairs by matchlight to their high- rise apartments. Flashlight and candle sales skyrocket. Light bulbs become dark bulbs and neon becomes neoff. It was a night of confusion, havoc and surprisingly, a great deal of fun. It was the night of the great Blackout. There has never been a night like it since - but there will be. On Saturday, November 27, the Farmingdale High School Dads' Club will re-create the night the lights went out with a dinner dance at the American Legion Hall on Eastern Parkway, from 9 [Continued on page 12]
