But District Engineer Austin M. Sarr of the N. Y. State Public Works Department Tuesday called the opposition '' premature. \ \Preliminary p lans will not be available until late in 1963 , \ said the district engineer in his Baby- lon office. \No public hearing will be held until early 1961. Not be- fore 1965 would any extension of the highway be made. \ Alternative routes would take the highway south of the railroad tracks or north of the Suffolk Air Forc e Base. Mayor Paul V. W. Waldo of Westhampton Beach expressed o p*- position to any proposed exten- sion that would cut between the Westhampton Beach station and the village. He said routing of the hi ghway south of the railroad tracks would necessitate the re- moval of nine or 10 homes and an asphalt p lant and lumber yard. \It would be shorter to run the extension north of the Air Force base , \ said Mr. Waldo , \ rather than looping it south of the rail- road tracks. \ Mayor Harvey E. Cooley of Quogue , called the meeting at the elementary school . Mayor Waldo said he would not be able to at- tend because of a village board meeting. Expected to send delega- tions are the communities of Rem- senburg, Westhampton , East Quo- gue , Westhampton Beach and Quogue. Assembl yman Perry B. Duryea , Jr., and spokesman for the Air Force base and the State Conservation Department are scheduled to speak at the meet- ing.

Bay Area Scholars Satisfied readers with nice things to say about The Long Island Advance continue to appear at our Main Street office in Center Moriches. Frank K. Baldwin of Neville Street , Center Moriches, stop- ped by last Thursday. The ad- vertisements , he sa 'd , bring the same quick results , and the expanded news coverage , especiall y of business , rates high praise. Expanded Coverage Earns Hi gh Prais e Amazing Results From Advertising Mr. Joseph Gomez , The Long Island Advance , Center Moriches , L. I. Dear Joe : I want to congratulate you on the pulling power of your new Long Island Advance. As you know , we placed an ad with you in the May 11 edition and from this one ad alone , we received over $500 worth of business OUTSIDE of this area , namely from Patchogue and Medford. We receive our share of busi- ness from this area , of course , but because of the 10 , 000 circulation that your paper now has , we are getting amazing results from com- munities we never drew from be- fore. This should boost our econ- omic situation down here conside- rably. We ran another ad with you May 25 and a man and his wife who live in Sayville drove down here to inspect our line of awn- ings. We hope to receive their order also. Best of luck. Yours very truly, QUEENS SCREEN COMPANY William Walker and Sons Moriches , June 6 , 1961. Mastic Beach Monument Editor , The Long Island Advance : It has been brought to my at- tention by several people , that the monument erected by the Ameri- can Legion of Mastic Beach honor- ing our war dead , shows disre- spect to the Still monument be- cause it was erected approxima- tely seven feet in front of the Still monument. I, as chairman of the memorial committee , chose this location. I did not intend to offend anyone by my actions. My thoug hts were that the men and women this monument represents should be facing the flag of their country. Any other location would have meant facing the back of this monument to the flag, which in my opinion would show greater disrespect to the men and women we honored by the dedication of this memorial.
