It is not our aim to tell our readers what to think but to p rovide them with
food for thought and to make interpretive editorial comment on the news.
The inauguration of a new administration in Brookhaven Town has given
new life to a proposal that the Town of
Brookhaven acquire the Patchogue
Hotel on East Main Stieet.
Way back on August 20, 1959, this
newspaper gave editorial support to the
idea of using the Patchogue Hotel as
a town hall. We reiterated this support
on Jul y 13, 1961.
We pointed out the hotel's advantageous location , situated as it is in the
heart of the business district , ri ght
across the street from the postoffice . . .
easil y accessible by car, bus and foot
traffic . . . and its parking facilities.
We believe, of cou rse, that a survey must first be made by the town
as to the hotel's adaptability, structurall y and otherwise, for town office use
anil as lo whether the whole proj ect,
including alterations, etc., would be
f i n a n c i a l l y feasible from the town 's
stand point.
The latest development is that the
new Republican-controlled Brookhaven
Town Board has retained an architectural firm to survey the hotel as to its
p otential with regard to the possibility
of alterations, structural soundness, etc.
Supervisor Charles It. Dominy supported such a survey even before he
was supervisor. One thing is certain:
More town office space is needed. Tlie
aforementioned survey and another
survey being made of the present town
hall should hel p town officials decide
whether purchase of the hotel would
best meet the need or whether some
other proposition is more feasible.
Last week Patchogue Village Mayor
Robert T. Waldbauer asked the new
town board to consider the purchase
and renovation of the hotel. And at the
June 27 town board meeting last year ,
Harry T. Weeks, executive vice president of the Patchogue Chamber of
Commerce, and Edward Mitchell , executive director of the Merchants
Div ision of the Chamber, endorseel an
offer of the hotel to the town by Tedd y
Blau , real estate broker. However, the
fornier all-Democratic town board turneel down the offer.
We understand that Mr. Blau has
offered to waive his usual broker 's fee
which would amount to some $10,000.
While we believe alternative proposals for expanding town facilities
should be full y explored , we hope the
aforementioned survey produces facts
which will lend support to those who
believ e the hotel would make a town
hall of which Brookhaven Town could
be proud.
be surprised if you f i n d that y our home
or your p lace of business has been
robbed as former Brookhaven Town
Councilman John A. Young of 316 Zi pp
Avenue, East Patchogue , was recentl y
when nearly $698 worth of office equ i pment disappeared from under his nose.
And the same week that these thefts
occurred, The Long Island Advance
reported eight more burglaries in Patchogue , Bell port, Brookhaven , Shirley,
Mastic Beach , Yap hank and Center
Moiiches. Included in these thefts was
no less a sum of money than $2,800,
stolen from a safe in the Long Island
Rail Road station in Patchogue.
Wh y not discuss this matter at once
with Supervisor Dominy ? As former
sheriff of the county he is well aware
of the danger of the growing crime
wave in this area.
A Right To Compare
Dining the Christmas vacation , a
group of Center Moriches High School
students had the opportunity, uni que to
a free society 's school system, that of
exposure to a conflicting ideology.
Accompanied by teachers William
O'Brien and Alfred Debler, 23 members of the hi gh school's history club
visited tlie Soviet legation off Park
Avenue in New York City. There, they
had a chance to observe first hand the
men and the ideology that threaten our
way of life , to ask questions and to
form opinions. They have emerged a
bit wiser for their experience.
At a panel discussion held last week
in the school they compared impressions. And if one prevalent attitude
could be detected from the group 's reaction , it would be: "How could they
think that we could be so gullible?"
Many of their questions, especiall y ones
embarrassing to the Soviet cause , were
brushed off or found "unanswerabl e"
in translation. The effect this had on
students accustomed to receiving straight
answers was predictable.
We congratulate Center Moriches
Hi gh School for taking the students to
a source of world dissension and unrest.
Seeing i.s believing, and these students
have had an excellent opportunity to
evaluate the blind , seemingly unquestioning dedication of men to a theory
that has failed repeatedl y the test of
practice.

The R. R. Station
Patchogue 's railroad station is used
b y thousands of peop le in the course
of a year, and of this number ,
a
significant
represents
proportion
incoming passengers who have never
seen the town before. The first
disemsee as
obj ect
they
they
bark from the train is the station. Many
peop le form their image of a community
by tlie first thing they see, and that
being tht case, the dep lorable condition one finds the station to be in
would obviousl y lead one to assume that
many erroneous first impressions are
being made by these peop le.
An excellent proj ect on the part of
Patchogue 's Chamber of Commerce,
with the possible assistance of one or
more of the local serv ice organizations ,
would be to get permission from - the
Long Island Rail Road to dress up the
station , and not merel y the exterior
but the interior as well. Let 's make one
of Patchogue's front doors au attractive
place to enter.
Patchogue Needs :

I feel I would be doing an injustice if 1 failed to tell you of an
experience we had last Friday.
It was a bitter cold ni ght and
as we returnee) to our car in the
Oak Street parking lot at :•
o'clock the ignition key snapped
in the lock. We could neither start
the car nor call home. We tried
several methods but we- were unsuccessful . The hour grew late
and all the other shoppers came
for their cars. Many looked hue
none offered to hel p. Then one of
those things happ ened that restores one 's faith in h u m a n nature.
A young couple coming from tinmovies stopped , turned their car
lights to offer better working conditions for my husband and offered to help. They even gave my
young son a candy bar. Soon another young man stopped and offered to help.
When all else failed the first
young man took us and our packages home and ref used a token of
thanks we offered.
W e wish to express our sincere
thanks to both these young propk
and to say that if there were more

young adults do , it would overshadow the bad public ity they always seem to attract.

Fog and a Phantom B-17
Here 's a story about a ride I'll
.lever foiget—and something I'll
never be able to exp lain , either.
While stationed at Grand Central Air Terminal in Glendale ,
'Caiii '., during World War II , 1
was with an air-sea rescue outfit.
One .of our jobs was to pick up
Marines who occasionally were injured during landing barge practice at St. Nicholas Island and
fly them back to the California
mainland for hospitalization.
On one such call , n Marine had
been overl y-enthusiastic and had
jumped off a barge before it had
come to a full stop. The medics
said he might have a broken back.
He was put aboard on a stretcher next to where I was on radio.
Capt . George H. Carpenter was
pilot. Merie Shunimo was the
flight engineer.
Almost as quickly as we took
off we saw trouble aVu-.ul. A etense
bank of fog bad rolled across the
mainland.
Carp took us above the stuff
and as soon as we figured we
were in the vicinity of Grand Centni! I chi cked with the tower for
landin g instructions.
In tl, use days, letting down in(o heavv fog w i t h mountains on
both sloes of a runway wasn 't a
sport a c c o m p a n i e d by hearty
laughter among the participants..
It was a garni- rigged in favor of
the guy w i t h the scythe.
Tlii- to- v er rei-ommended we look
for a hole.
A hove *he fog. the sun was
s h i n i n g brightly.
("arn ri-cled , tried figure eights ,
went into the stuff for a few mom e n t s and tln ' ii pulled up.
We made for Metropolitan at
Van Nuys . but that was socked
in. too.
The fields along the coast where
Navy p ilot trainees shot practice
carrier landings were complete
blanks .
We headed back to Glendale and
the towe> - advised us to try for
March Field in Riverside or , if
that , was out, to go on to Muroc
Field ( now Edwards Air Force
Has ") in the desert.
Fuel became a question . Carp
said we were r u n n i n g on fumes.
It would have to he Grand Central , and he was going to let
down.
He told me on the intercom to
secure the stretcher so it wouldn 't
bounce around if he bad to bank
or come up sharp l y.
The .Marine, full of morphine ,
took a hazv interest when I began
securing the stretcher. Then his
eyes cleared and he propped himsel f on an elbow. "Are we- in a
j a m ? " he shouted over the eng ine
noise. "So ." I answered. "We 're
going
m now.
Carp told Merle and me we could
j u m p and walk borne if we had
the inclination , but we turned it
down. The Marine couldn 't, jum p .
What with the fuel we had left .
Carp was needed full time at the
controls and Merle knew he 'd have
to operate the gear , flaps, and
gamble on the tanks to see which
one had the most fumes if "Monkey Doodle " started coug hing.
Carp puileel back on tne throttles and Merle let the gear down
to create air resistance. W'e wanted to pull Monkey in as slowl y as
possible, but Merle kept a hand
on the gear lever in case the
wheels had to come up if Carp
gunned for extra power.
The- gravel chunker undid the
straps that bound h im to the
stretcher just as we were skimming the fog bank. He wasn 't on
intercom , but he knew what was
going on. I was too busy on radio to stop him because the tower
was try ing to talk us in.
Then we noticed the flash of
silver. An unpainte d B-17!
All bombers were painted olive
drab during World War II. Was
it fres h from the p lant ? Carp
tried to contact it. No answer.
He got on its tail as it stood
on a wing and went into the fog
like a P-38.
Monkey sputtered once and
Merle tried another tank.
The jagged peaks of the Chatsworth range loomed and Carp
gunned Monkey over them. A prop
started pinwheeling and oil y black
smoke began coming out.
I grabbed the mike and called
Grand Central. "We are Mayday, "
I said. "Repeat , Mayday. " Then I
jammed the transmitter key on
continuous signal so they could
determine our point of impact.
Carp hung onto the B-17's tailstream and " suddenl y the green
Verdugos came out of the vast
expanse of fog.
Telephone poles started rushing by and there was Grand Centra l runway.
Full flaps , gear down , we touched once, twice and then Monkey
settled. She shivered a little as her
valiant engines absorbed the residue of fuel.
One Air Force ambulance and
several civilian ambulances came
by. A crash truck bearing a couple
of men wearing hot papa suits
pulled under a wing. I guess this
was the result of my Mayday (distress ) call.
I darn near choked. The Marine
was sitting up looking out one
of the waist gun windows.
He was still sitting up as medics
lifted the stretcher out. I remember saying to myself. "Thank
goodness the poor guy 's back
wasn 't broken after all. "
As they carted him away, he
was grinning. He yelled hack at
us , "You Air Force guys are
nuts!"
We checked on the B-17 at Base
Operations. There had been no
B-17 in the area that day. Much
less one that had not been painted
olive drab . So what had we followed in?
The fog lifted and the moon
came out bright that night .
1 couldn 't sleep anyway, so I
left the barracks and walked
among the revetments to where
we'd parked Monkey Doodle .
