share of the interest to an unusual program now underway at
the public library.
Bay Shore — John Patrick Fay
recently appointed Chief of the
Racket Bureau and head of indictments for , the District Attor-,
ney's office brings to his job the
wisdom and experience gained
through private practice, fourteen
years with the F.B.I, and eight
years with the Suffolk County
prosecutor 's office.
Mr. Fay , a native New Yorker, received his early training in
St. Francis Xavier High School,
Fordham College and St. Johns
Law School. After a few years
as a practicing attorney he joined the ranks of the Federal Bureau of Investigation , with which
he served through the years of
World War II. During that time
he was with the special espionage
squad, and on at least one occa sion was responsible for breaking
up a major spy ring operating
out of New York City.
He was senior resident agent
for the F.B.I, in the Suffolk area
for more than eight years, when
he worked on many famous cases here on Long Island , and in
the New York district. In 1954, he

CENTRAL ISLIP MAN
GETS PRISON TERM
FOR W. ISLIP FIRE
Riverhead — A case history of
arrests on arson charges was
climaxed in Suffolk County Court
last Friday when a Central Islip
man was sentenced to 1-1/2 to
3 years in Sing Sing prison after
admitting starting a fire in a
West Islip bowling alley almost
a year ago.
Angelo Adamo, 35, of 140 Applegate Drive received the sentence from Judge Henry Tasker
as the result of a fire which
took place on October 18, 1961.
Adamo, who police said was
once court-martialed while in the
Army for setting fire to a barracks, was indicted in January
for starting a fire in the men's
room of the Captree Bowling
Alleys on Union Avenue, West
Islip in 1961. He pleaded guilty
to the charge and underwent
psychiatric examination to determine his sanity.

John P. Fay
pointment is the culmination of
years of hard, painstaking study
and self discipline. His respect
for the work and problems of his
colleagues has become as much
of a legend with John Fay as his
happy marriage to the former
Colette Delaney , whom he met
at a beach party on Long Island 's
north shore almost a quarter of
a century ago and married four
years later in 1941.
The Fays have been living in
their Bay Shore home on Penataquit Avenue with their four
children for nearly ten years.
The children , Patrick , John , Colette and Linda are naturally,
Fay's greatest source of pride,
along with his work .
His spare time, of which there
isn't too much, is devoted to add
jobs around the house, where
he can always be found , painting,
repairing or generally "puttering. "
At present, he's doing a major
paint job with his father as helper and sidewalk superintendent.
He is an inveterate reader ,
books, magazines and eight to
ten newspapers a day
are
thoroughly consumed . For relaxation; he enjoys a game of bridge
with neighbors, but most of all he
loves the dying art of conversation , and deplores the fact that
too many people spend too little
time indulging in this "lost art".
An ardent civic worker, he is
currently an active member of
the "Music For Long Island"
group, which plans to bring concert and opera to Long Island's
South Shore. He is also legal advisor for the newly formed Art
Center at Awixa Pond. He is also president of the Bay ShoreBrightwaters Republican Club.
W. I. Attorney
Opens Office
West Islip — Attorney John G.
Ehrlich has announced that he
has opened a law office at 15
Deer Park Avenue, Babylon. Mr.
to Suffolk
Ehrlich , assistant
County Republican leader Arthur
M. Cromary is a former newspaper man and is the author of
several books.
Mr. Ehrlich , 32, resides at 63
Gladstone Avenue with his wife
and two children. He is an Air
Force veteran and former trade
magazine editor for the Electric
Institute of New York.
He expects to continue as Mr.
Cromarty's assistant, a post he
has held since 1959.
All of the pictures are suitably framed and range in size
from 8 x 11 to 24 x 30 inches .
The larger pictures are loaned
out , just like books on the Union Street library shelves on
members' regular cards. There
is a charge of 25 cents a month , for a minimum of two mon ths
for the larger pictures and 15
cents a month for the smaller
mctures.
Mrs. Joy Meisels, librarian at
Vest Islip explained this week
that "the main purpose of the
collection is to give people an
opportunity to live with art."
She said that the picture-lending
program was established as part
of the library 's expanding community service and the importance of these color reproductions lies in their instructive as
well as their decorative value".
Mrs. Meisels pointed out that
it is only in recent years that
the perfection of special cameras, film and methods of developing have made possible "precise reproduction of the color and
texture of a painting." Accordingly, she said duplication of the
world's most famous paintings is
now possible with "the greatest
possible fidelity."
Included in the West Islip collection are examples of the work
of the best known European and
American painters ranging from
Breugel and Homer through Roualt and Remington , as well as
some reproductions of the oriental artists Ganku. Goshun, and
Toyo
Prints may be borrowed which
are .suitable for modern and contemporary as well as traditional
decor. There are also pictures
with special appeal for children.
A complete list is posted in
the. library on Union Street and
reservations are taken while pictures are out on loan.
Mrs. Meisels is confident that
"the borrowing of pictures will
extend into learning more about
art through taking home art
books, biographies of artists, etc.
and she plans to encourage this
interest in art appreciation by
having information about each
picture and its painter pasted to
the ; back of each item.
To introduce its expanded art
collection to West Islip, the library will display a "picture of
the month" near the library 's entrance together with pertinent
data on the picture.
CENTURY-OLD EPISCOPAL MISSION
CHURCH FACES TEST OF TIMES
Brentwood — Christ Episcopal Church , the oldest house of worship in this community, having been
built in 1872, is now experiencing an expansion
little dreamed of when the tiny congregation was
formed on July 23, 1861.
For almost a century the small but attractive
house of worship performed its role as a house of
worship for a typical country community on a parttime basis. For many decades its congregation
found it necessary to share their Vicar with other
Episcopal churches in surrounding communities.
In recent years, however, the tremendous expansion of Brentwood and its rapid growth in population made it necessary for the church officials to
secure the services of a Vicar on a full-time basis
and the Rev. E. R. Van Buren was invited to take
over the congregation.
The results of the expanded activity in the Third
Avenue church were demonstrated on Sunday.
With an attendance of over four hundred people
the Rev. Van Buren , presented to the Right Rev.
James P. DeWolfe, Episcopal Bishop of Long Isand , sixty persons to receive the "Laying on of
Hands," in the service of Confirmation , an Episcopal Sacrament.
The Confirmation Class assembled in the Church building,
and just about filled it to capacity, as Christ Church's seating
capacity is under one hundred. At
eleven o'clock , under sunny skies,
to the
the group proceeded
grounds in front of the church,
where a portable altar had been
erected , folding chairs for several
hundred had been placed, along
with the Lowry organ which had
been moved from the church. A
high fidelity public address system was provided by Councilman
Gordon Taylor, a member of the
congregation. It was in this sunny,
out-of-doors setting, under magnificent pine trees that Bishop
DeWolfe received what is probably the largest Confirmation
Class presented by a mission
church in the L. I. diocese thus
far this year. Bishop DeWolfe
spoke at length on the duties of
being a Christian.
The sixty persons confirmed
and received into the Episcopal
Church by the Bishop included the
following:
Juliann Allen , Steven Lawrence
Barning, Carol Lynn Bartgis,
Barbara Jane Bartgis, Dale Lydia
