[Continued on page 5] Child Porn Bill Slated 'The most precious thing in this world is a child and we must do'everything possible to protect our children from the scum who would use them in pornographic films,\ Assemblyman Philip B. Healey (R-Massapequa) declared today. Healey is a co- sponsor of the bill that would make the use of children in pornographic 'film a class D felony offense. The bill has had its third reading and will be up for a vote before the Assembly during the present session. Healey added: \The care of children is a sacred trust and should not be abused by those who seek to profit through a commercial network based upon the exploitation of children. This bill covers not only the making and the distribution of por- nographic films, but the sale of any other materials depicting children in such a situation.\ The bill defines a child so used as one below 16 years of age. This is the second year in a row that the school budget has called for no increase in taxes in spite of higher inflationary costs. Two incumbent school board members, Raymond Parcels and Stanley Martyna, are running for reelection unopposed for three year terms. The proposed library budget of $540,500 is a slight increase from last year's budget of $502,000, increasing the tax rate 3.8 cents per $100 of assessed valuation or $2.28 per year for a house assessed at $6,000. Total library taxes at this rate would be $32 per year. Two library board positions are open, one for a full five year term, and the other to fill the unexpired one year term of George Fain, who resigned in March. The candidate receiving the highest number of votes will win the longer term and the second highest vote getter will win the shorter term. Three candidates have filed for the two seats: Helen Spinetta, Paul Gat to and Edward Lynch, who was appointed to fill Fain's seat. Voting will be held at the Weldon E.
