SEND YOUR DUES TODAY TO: Ed Blaise, Treasurer 29 Pebble Lane “RANCHER” POLICY TO BE CLARIFII by Walter Wild Strong views both pro and con concerning the status of the Roslyn Country Club were expressed at the. regular monthly meeting of the Civic Association at the Northside School, April 25th, ‘ Country Club Committee Chairman‘ Al Chester, made an interesting report on a per® sonal survey he undertook to compare the op- eration of neighboring country clubs with ours. One in particular, he: said, had a mem- bership limited to residents of its own com- munity, maintained a testaurant that served simple, popular-priced meals, offered tennis courts and ‘a swimming pool, and had an an- aval membership fee of $60 per year. He expressed disappointment that he could not transmit a conclusive report on the results of the recent questionnaire circulated to obtain Country Clubbers’ views on the Club, as just 79 sheets were received by the committee. However, Al stated that a special meeting of the association would be held in June at which time a complete compilation would be ren- dered’ and appropriate measures would be de- cided upon in keeping with tie results of the survey. Chairman’ Preston” David, opened ‘the: floor for extended discussion following Al Chester's report. Edward Messmer expressed the opinion that the universal support of the club by the com- munity would achieve any improvements that might be desired, “If at that special’ meeting in June we de- cided some changes in the Club were in order, what could we do about it?”, Don Ostrower asked. Anne Messing suggested that the Country Club Chairman prepare a complete report of Tast year's club activities for the benefit of newcomers to the community, so that prospec- tive’ members might know more about the club.

David, Pres. + Roslyn Country Club Civie Assoc. When the new school opens, the com- munity will be faced with a new problem in public safery. Elsewhere on these pages, the difficulty is outlined in an exchange of corre- spondence with the Levitt organization. ‘We seem to be caught in a no man’s Jand where the responsibility for installing side- walks on LU. Willets’ Road belongs to neither the builder not the county, and where the cost of installation—a community problem— would: rest unfairly on those home owners fronting on the roadway, If all of the youngsters could approach the schoo! from interior streets, as suggested in the response from the Levitt organization, the danger of traffic accidents might be reduced. From many parts of the community, however, LU. Willets Road is the most direct route t0 the school, and we can anticipare incteased foot traffic without adequate safeguards. Constructive suggestions on handling the problem are-rhost welcome and should be addressed to Carl Lundquist, Chairman of the Public Safety Committee. On the train the other day, one of the new residents decided it was time to stop using the term—"new residents", thae is, “Wile an article about it, Pres,” he said, “saying that We ate grateful to the carly settlers for atten- tion to our special headaches, but we think that by now we belong in the. same boat.” J agree with the idea:and:go on to say that the “49ers are grateful as weil for many con- tributions from the 1950 arrivals, including the recommendation above which was stated so precisely that it saved me the trouble of writing the suggested article.

Dear Mr. Levitt: ‘This is written in part as President of the Roslyn Country Club Civic Association; in part, and in larger measure, as a parent of school age children, As you know, the new school south of I. U. Willets Rd. ‘will open in September, and as Country Club residents we are becoming in- creasingly concerned about the traffic dangers our children will face: 1. At that point the roadway is open and cats move along at relatively high speeds; 2. We do not know whether a traffic signal will be installed or whether we will be - afforded police protection; 3. And of greatest danger, the road is with- our sidewalks. ‘We have, in sum, a situation ia which some of our children may be killed in traffic acci- dents. On traffic conditions we have gotten very little response when we have communicated with the proper officials. And on the side- walks, we understand thar they can be installed only at the individual cost of the home owners fronting on the road. We know that these things are not your obligation, but we wonder whether we might have your guidance and the weight of your influence in finding answers to our problems. For all of our complaints, and the many times we have come to you, most of us know that we have beautiful homes and an outstanding community through your efforts.

Next Month — Building Codes, Contracts, 1 Heating Your Antic. in order to ‘determine the community's thes as regards sewers, the following resoli- a will be presented at the May meeting of Civic Association: “Resolved: It is the desire of the Roslyn untry Club Civic Association, representing majority of the residents in this com- nity, that Nassau County furnish lateral vers in this area and that the Building and ounds Committee be authorized to prepare necessary letters and petitions to the proper icials in order to insure the installation of se lateral sewers.” The cost of these sewers is appreciable’ and 1 be born by every resident in the districe ardless of how he votes on this matter of ether or not he plans to use the sewer. Jn ‘et that there be no misunderstandings or abss, the full facts are being preseoted here order that an intelligent decision can be de by ail. WHY HAS THIS SEWER QUESTION DDENLY ARISEN? This choice of whether not we want. sewers has arisen as a result the construction of a County Sewerage Dis- al Plant and tusk lines. One of ‘these 33 will begin at Roslyn Road and Barnyard ie. Heretofore there has been no oppor- ity for us to have sewers in this area: In :, at present only a small portion of Naséau any is equipped with sewers. These sections in incorporated ateas- which possess their JOHNS - MANVILLE INSULATION Don't Gamble — It Takes Experts To Insulate Your Home Efficiently H. V. WILLIAMS CO., Inc. 208-22 Jamaica Ave. Hollis, L. 1. ident City 7-2270 JAmsica 68777 own systems. With the arrival of the County System ‘a huge boom in sewer construction is anticipated. Now the Roslyn Country Club can, if the residents so desire, have sewers in our streets. WILL SEWERS BE RUN INTO THE COUNTRY CLUB REGARDLESS OF OUR DESIRES? No! Sewers will not be run into our streets unless we request them. Is IT TRUE THAT WE MUST PAY AN ASSESSMENT WHETHER OR NOT SEW- ERS ARE INSTALLED IN QUR STREETS? ‘Yes! ‘The cost of the Treatment Plant and trunk lines is born by everyoue in the Sewage District. This assessment will probably be $20 a year for the next 30 years, or @ total of approxima:ely $600. This particular assessment is paid by all property owners, whether or not they are using,the Sewage System. HOW CAN WE GET LATERAL SEWERS IN OUR STREETS TO ENABLE US TO CONNECT INTO THE SEWER SYSTEM? We must request them from the County. The County will not install them unless we ask for it. HOW MUCH WILL. LATERAL SEWERS cost. ‘The estimated cost to each property owner in the Roslyn Country Club is approximately $350. HOW WOULD THIS BE PAID? This cost would be spread over a number of years. Ie might be spread over @ period from 5 to 20 years. HOW WOULD THE CONNECTION FROM THE HOUSE TO THE LATERAL SEWER IN ‘THE STREET BE MADE? WHO WOULD DO THIS AND HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST? Once the County installed Lateral Sewers in the streets it would be up to the individual homeowner to make the connection from his system to the street, if he so desires. This ‘might cost approximately $100. IF WE DON'T ASK FOR SEWERS NOW, CAN WE GET THEM AT SOME FUTURE DATE? Yes. ARE SEWERS NECESSARY? No. Cesspools have proven sanitary and adequate for many years in this area, How- ever they will in time fill up and have to be emptied out, It may eventually be neces- Continued on next page‘THE RANCHER sary to dig another cesspool if the exiting facilities become clogged up. However, if you are careful of what goes down the drain, your cesspool should give no trouble for at least 5-8 years, The cost of cleaning the cesspool and even digging another one is much less than the cost of installing sewers, however. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SEWERS? Sewers will of course, increase the value of your property. If you are equipped with sewers you need not be fearful of dumping grease down the kitchen sink, You can install a garbage disposal unit without danger of load- ing your cesspool up. You also ate assured that you will never be bothered with a full cesspool. DOES EVERYONE IN THE COMMUN- ITY LIVE IN THE SEWER DISTRICT? No, Approximately 35% of the residents of the RCC do not live insiae Sewer District No. 2. The riorthernmost and eastern fringes of the community are excluded. These areas can be placed within the disttict if the residents there so request. There would be no point in including these areas in the district unless the residents want sewers as once they become part of the district, they must pay the annual assessment, However, if the community as a whole requested sewers, it is possible that the area nox now in the Sewer District might be incorporaced therein without their specifically requesting it. WHAT IS THE OPINION OF THE BUILD- INGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE? The B & G Committee feels that although sewers are not necessary or vital they are nevertheless desirable. Since we will eventually pay about $600 for the right to be in the distcice without getting any direct benefits, it would be wise to pay an additional $400-$500 to enjoy the benefits of sewers, Furthermore, the Committee feels that we will eventually want sewers and that ic would be wise to get them as soon as possible in order to get the fullest use therefrom. GARDEN TRASH COLLECTION SCHEDULE This year, as last, the Donsio Company will remove gardening trash on the afternoons of the regular garbage removal days for your street. Residents are advised to use bushel baskets or small cardboard boxes, rather than, metal cans for this type of waste, and only to fill containers partially if you are discarding rocks. Twigs and branches resulting. from your pruning should be tied cogether so that they can be tossed more easily into the truck. PRES SAYS Continued from page 2 Since the Association has been ofganized, the question has been raised frequently as t0 whether we are engaging in “political” activity. In a few paragraphs it is moc posible to dis. cuss such a complex question, but it seems to me that we should understand what the words mean, We have problems of transportation, traffic regulations, the education of our young: sters and similar issues which are of “public concern, These are community-wide matters requiring contact with government officials, public service commissions and related bodies of public servants. Once the Association has takem a stand on one of these problems, some follow through is necessary and we might de- bate at length whether this constitutes "“politi- cal” activity or “civic” activity, ‘What should be perfectly clear, however, is that whatever the Association’ does on broad issues, it does not—as an organization—sup- port individual candidates for élective office. As individuals and private citizens, many of us engage in electoral activity; the Civic Asso- ciation, however, takes io position on these matters, and endorses no one for public office.

Herb Rosenthal “Rancher Educational Editor BRYANT EXTOLS COMMUNITY COOPERATION “The greatest force in local democracy is cooperative action by community groups,” said George E, Bryant, Roslyn’s Superintendent of Schools, This keynoted the speech he delivered t0 a large audience at Northside School on Monday night, April 16—Lecture 6 in a series sponsoréd by the Civic Association’s School ‘Commitee. “Healthy schoot-community relations depend on this cooperative action. Board of Education, parents, administrative staff, teachers, pupils— each has something to conttibute,” said Me, Bryant, He mentioned a number of techniques through which parents can make theit contri- butions: 1. Area Committees—on such subjects as tuansportation and safety. 2. Unmet Needs Committee—to see what's missing in the school picture. 3. Cooperative Research Committee — to study the ptob’ems coming up, such as school salaries, building needs, etc. Sunday - 8 am. - 4 pam 4. Community” Resource File—to survey all people in the community who have abili- ties and background to put at the dis- posal of the school youngsters. 3. Adult Bducation Committee—o promote courses for parents and other adults. However, Mr. Bryant waraed against expect- jing that the system used ia one community could be transfefred exactly to suother. “A sound program of school-commranity relations must be indigenous—grow out of the aceds of the community."" Mr. Bryant also pointed out that the rapid increase in the county's postwar population hhad put a severe strain on the education system and all the groups in it. Jn the brisk question périod that followed, ‘Mr, Bryant was asked what method should be used to find out the needs of a rapidly grow- ing community. He advised that first the urgent physical needs be met. ‘Then parent- teacher study groups should be set up to sift the longer range problems. A professional re- view could be made, too. Mr. Bryant counseled wai ing until the population picture had jelled before deciding whether a full dress survey could be of value, Continued on page 13 GARDEN CITY 7-4636 AT OUR * FREE PROMPT DELIVERY FAMOUS IN ALL DEPARTMEN’ en DRUGS -PRESCRIPTIONS -COSM! ‘i BREAKFAST | cr aTIONERY - TOYS - GREETING a LUN fea LATE EVENING | «NEWSPAPERS - MAGAZINES SNA COUNTRY CLUB SUPER DRUGS baiy Stam Hy bm AT THE ALBERTSON STATIONwipoy ‘oma Some 9 2 -prvog pops 40 voIUREKT vO 20h ee eset casos 2096 ¢ Au 205 wpe 30 ZUR I05 30, PM AO spaipng loops YO 0A HL AW soe wom2eya, ows “VDDD H “Ammqusogs PIO UI S8AFT “300 “JoENSIEIMPY WYO.

Yer under the new policy of the Rancher and the Associa tion board of directors, the editor would be powerless to prevent its publication, (Of more immediate concern is the fact that in a community where there is an honest divisiog of sentiment on many issues, your editor whom you elected through democratic processes, is hamstrung to present any views point but so-called majority opinion.

Steif, Chairman Legal Committee It is always more interesting when you know the rules. And that's just as true of our Civic Association meetings as it is of baseball and canasta, Our Civic Association meeting rules of parliamentary procedure are contained in Robert's Rules of Order. Parliamentary law is simply a collection of rules designed to facilitate the work of a meet- ing; they protect against an arbitrary chairman as well as captious members, ‘The brief outline of the most important rules of parliamentary procedure which follow should help and encourage all our members to take an active part in our association: meetings. Business is brought before a meeting by motion. It must be seconded before it can be considered by the meeting. This is called the main motion, Then the fun starts, Or, as it is ‘more formally stared in Robert's Rules Of Order, the subject of the motion is open to debate, ‘There are many motions which can alter the course of the main motion. It can be ameacled by a motion to amend and then the amendment is discussed and voted on before the main motion. Action on motions can be deferred by a motion “to postpone consideration of the ‘motion to a certain time or by a motion “to table the main motion.” A tabled motion can be taken up at any time by a majority vote. If there has been enough talk on any motion it can be brought to a quick vote by a motion “to move the previous question.” This motion requires a twothirds (2/3) vote for its adoption and if carried, an immediate vore must be taken on the motion; if not carried, one should fortify against a lot more oratory Ac any point in the meeting information can be gotten by rising and saying: “I rise for information.” At any time before the question is moved, a motion can be withdrawn by its maker If a ruling by the chairman does not meet with approval, it can be appealed from by saying: “I appeal from the decision of the chair.” If seconded, it must be voted on. At any time a mocion to adjourn is in order. Some motions are not debatable: to adjourn, to lay on the table, to limit debate, to move the question. Some motions requite a tworthirds (2/3) vote: to limit or close debate, to move the question.

The natural follow-up seems to be what to put on it by way of decoration. If your fireplace is. painted, especially in white; it just “crys” for something, Tn 2 modern home you would probably want something dramatic—a bold, stark look. if sour budget can stand it, a sculprured piece is magnificent. There is such an enormous selection of various coloted grains to choose from, especially in marble, that the right coloring can be found to suit almost any color scheme. The kind of thing I'm particulatly referring co. would be fairly. flat and large enough to cover a good portion of the wall, However, if you'te like me-and your greenbacks aren't exactly elastic, you can choose « like effect in: plaster of Patis, believe it or not, for very little expense. A very authentic mablized effect can be painted on too., Wrought iton or ribbed steel can also be gotten in interesting-shapes and figures. ‘or the contemporary home I've seen a pair of call figures placed: on an inconspicuous Shelf, used effectively, usually with something Jow and round to balance it. Figures are made to fit in with every kind of decor and at every price. The truth, of course, is sa-do it well for Jitele money. This may sound improbable but I've seen figuses in paper mache and they are stunning. The cost is little enough so that you needn't fear breakage and the like. A handsome collection of cetamics is colorful and interesting. Or how about framing a wallpaper mural? ‘One of the cleverest, most practical ideas I've seen is that of Hlsie Freeman's of Horseshoe Lane. On the side of the fireplace closest 10 the kitchen door is a rather large wooden frame with a wooden back into which she plans a picture of some sort. ‘The sides of the frame snap down to become a handsome buffet table.

If you haven't already worked and prepared a veartble bed yet, skip a large garden this year and concentrate on the few varieties you particularly like. The same goes for perennial flowers and buibs, too. You probably won't even get a sickly bloom unless you've given some thought to what kind of soil. conditions and locations the perennials want, Delphinium lovers, by the way, are out of luck. Even nmurserymen in this azea have touble growing them, So substitute larkspur, if yon want some high growing blue in your garden. If you haven't been able to get around to planning ‘and preparing a flower garden on a permanent basis, go heavy on annuls. They'll obviously do beter with care, but you will get some return for a small investment of effort and ‘money. For first time vegetable gardeners, Mr. Mou quia has given us a list of varieties of some of the vegetables that do well around here. AS far as we can see it doesn’t matter too much, Dut, if you have no favorites of your own, you might as well grow these: beets, Crosby or Farly Wonder; carrots, Nantes or Danver lee tuce, Simpson or Prizehead; onions, Ebenezer or Yellow Globe; radishes, Globe, Cherry Bell for Scarlet Globe; tomazoes, Farliania or Valiant for early maturing plants, Bonny Best or Ford- hook’ for later picking.

Ga INCHER VAN» nora wan Laurels and rhododendrons have been high on casualty lists of Countey Clubbers, Ondo- narily, they aren't pruned as are deciduous shrubs, since most of their leaves are at the ends of the stalks and branches. They can, be thinned however, and should be if they're sickly. To thin laurels, cut to the ground the really poor stalks, On’ the remainder, cut off one, ot if seems necessary two, of the flower heads where they branch off near the top of each stalk. Many rhododendcons send a few tall, stalks above a lower mass of stalks. Cutting, the taller ones to a few inches above the round will put strength into the lower stalks If the shape of the plant won't permit the above remedy, you'll just have to grit your teeth and sactifice appearance (if you don’t you won't even have to worty about a shorn looking plant) and cut down the sickest stalks. “NOW YOU WANT IT OVER THERI PARR & HANSON, Inc.

Ie is crue that the children will have to cross LU. Willets Road but the installation of sidewalls would be of no benefit for such a purpose.
