Hie eonumiiiAy fiewapaper • the glP* Hwl htipa hoU » eomwiinllif togithmi •ndthfparU ttthtipakm p H m m tlnghnm rd, Hometown boosters Not so long ago, it seemed alniost everyone from Small* town, USA, dreamed of relocating to the Big Apple. There, where no one remembered their awkward youth, they . would be sophisticated denizens of the city that never sleeps. Now, all of a sudden. New York has a “hometown news paper” and plenty more neighiioThood w e ^ e s . Neighbor hood assodations and ndghborhood groceries are popular again. People want to find thdr own httle comers o f one of . the worlds biggest cities, to hunutniu th w surr^ndings. The same bolds true out here in the suburban sprawl of Nassau County, where sometimes one belongs to one school district and another post office district, and a newcomer often isn't realty sure of the identity of hb hometown. . Here in the Town of Hempstead, we have many other snuiller “towns” and villages, each a hometown to 30,000 or more. Each has a school, library and fire district, service organizations, relipous groups and a chamber of commerce.; Each has its own group of boostem, whom you’ll often meet | ■ a ^ n and again, if you make the rounds of local organizations. ■. These hometown boosters come froin almost any back ground, line of work or persuasion. They' share a love of thdr ' community and a pride in h. They don't know the meaning of \ “9 to S” but put in long hours after their regular working hours, as their gift to a place about which they care a great deal Often, the results come back to their businesses or organi- < zations in the form of good will and standing in the community. ■, Tins mci be a very nebulous tlung. The street fair may not bring in any business tp a store, for example. In fact, it might even hurt sales that day. But it may help create a warm feeling about downtown that brinjp the coinmunity’s . shoppers back on many more occasions. The listing of a business’ name on a scholarship program may be over in a second, but it remains in the memories of the . stnilents and thdr fam^es who benefit from it. Good will is part of that special feeling about one’s home town that so many who move here are seeking. But it bn*t something that is just automatically tbde. It takes work to create and dedication to keep. Your community newspaper works bard also to promote good will and a seoM of identity here. It serves as a commun ity forum for testing out ideas in its letters to the editor column. It is a community bulletin board, listing events both big and small It shares the news about people and reports on what government is doing.: Its editorials offer a penpectiVe on local and sometimes broader issues, but always concern for this community, its needs and hs possibilities. YOO'LU HAVE T O F l U - t h a t ONE YOiRSELveS. HO.'HO! Roundabout Freeport DUE to the increased number of KpoiU of food borne fllness involving pr^ pared turkeys, the Nassau.

There b no need apparently to turn to jogpng or other discomfiting exercise in order to bum up calories. One can do it at I oneh desk, but a certain commitment b required-a commitment to , fidget.

In other words, you don't have to be fat to be, gluttonous. ANDREA TINKLER’S Bayview Avenue School Spedal Education class held a F pst Thanksgivittg Dinner on November 21.
