New Dredging of Moriches Inlet Is Planned in Fall County and State Will Share Cost Set at $780 , 000 RIVERHEA D — Mor- iches Inlet , recentl y closed b y the Coast Guard , is to be dred ged again, this Fall , with the co unty and the state sharing in the esti- mated $780 , 000 required to open the inlet . The Board of Supervisors here Monday, by unanimous resolution , approved p lans completed by the State Department of P :blic Works for the protection of the Moriches Inlet , and obligated the county to pay half of the total cost. The inlet was closed officially Jul y 12 b y the Coast Guard , but the ruling is not being enforced. The inlet was last dredged in 1957 , but the shifting tides and storms have almost completel y closed the inlet to navigation. Count y Executive H. Lee Den- nison said the dredging, to be comp leted b y private contractors , will probably not beg in for two months , after engineering surveys are comp leted and the contract is let to bidders. Mr. Dennison said the plan to open the inlet will fit in with the Federal Government' s $11 , 000 , 000 project to permanently stabilize Moriches Inlet with jetties and groins. About 750 , 000 yards of fill are to be removed , and placed along the inlet banks. Then some 30 , 000 tons of stone are to be laid along both banks to hold them back , Mr. Dennison said. A total of $15 , 000 is to be expended for the p l anting of grass to hold the sand down. Mr. Dennison said that if the federal plan is ever finally approv- ed , Suffolk may get its share of the $780 , 000 expense back from the government. In related action , the board , by a 9-to-l vote , authorized a sur- vey of six miles of Fire Island beach , to determine the work need- ed and cost estimates to restore the dune areas , severely damaged by storm s and winds during the past year. Southampton Supervisor Step h- en F. Meschutt voted against the resolution , stating he didn 't think Continued on page 5 , this section Unemployment Claims Off by 2 , 500 Since Feb Labor Up in Appare ls: Claims filed for unemployment insurance had dropped 60 per cent from a peak of approximately 4 , 100 in mid-February to approx- imatel y 1 , 600 in mid-June , according to John V. Lloyd , manager of the New York State Employment Service office in Patchogue. The labor force serviced by the Patchogue office is p laced at about 50 , 000. Increasing activity in consumer industries such as re- tail tradp , sei vices , wholesale trade and construction were primarily lesponsible for the precipitate drop in unemployment in the area. Manufacturing gams also were made due to the \ move-in \ of sev- eral new industrial plants within the area of the Patchogue office. While the present industrial con- troversy in the construction indus- try has halted temporal il y the overall drop in unemp loyment , it is anticipated that the upward trend in employment will continue over the Summer and Fall months. Mr. Lloyd said. Mr. Lloyd pointed out that pre- sently job openings are increasing and that unemployed persons not already registered with his office should do so. There is a chronic demand for women to work in the apparel industry. Those with some power machine experience are preferred , but trainees in many cases are acceptable. It is anticipated that interviews will be held this week at night to help recruit workers for a new employer to be located in this area. A need for additional res- taurant and service establishment help is also indicated.

The board also approved the re- quest of the Parent-Teacher Asso- ciations of the district and the Citizens ' Council for a third bud- get vote to be held between 2 and 10 p. m. September 26. Registra- tion will be held September 15 and 18. The amount of the thnd budget will be determined at a future board meeting. On May 2 , school district vo- ters defeated the proposed budget of $2 , 358, 610 by a vote of 224 to 227. It would have called for a tax rate increase from $8.88 per $100 of assessed valuation to $10.57. It was the first budget de- feat in the district ' s history.

There ' s no such thing as magic!\ These are the words of Harry Ferrier , professional mag ician for more than 50 years. But there was a twinkle in his eye when he said this. And his li ps were set in a mysterious grin as he inserted a ball in a small wooden vase. He p laced a cap on the vase , muttered a few \ magic \ words and removed the cap. Lo , the ball had disappeared! A searc h of Mr. Ferrier ' s Ma- gic Workshop, situated just be- hind his home on South Howell' s Point Roa d , Bellport , failed to lo- cate the ball. Then , it developed , the ball was in th's reporter ' s pocket. Magic ? What is magic, really ? Magic , Mr. Ferrier insists , is only a state of mind. Then he sat this reporter down in hi&> work- shop to weave , in a few short hours , a tale that transcribed more than half a century. Yes , he ' s seen magic. He has seen it in the awe and wonder- ment expressed by the thousands of people in countless audiences before whom he has performed ; he has seen it in the eyes oi children whose little worlds were made happier and more exciting b y the deftness of his hands. Pure Deception \Magic is pure deception \ Mr. Ferrier declared. \But peop le love to be d°ceived. They like to watch a magician at work because they 'd like to prove the hand isn 't quick- er than the eye. \ Mr. Ferrier. at the age of 68 , looks back on many fine years as a showman. He ' s a professor of magic and belongs to the International Brotherhood of Magicians.

B'haven Board Says That Strike Has Hit Project s Among the m any matters brought before the Brookhaven Town Board at Tuesday ' s meeting was that of the, shut-down of work on the parking lot being constructed for use of town resi- dents at the Port Jefferson launch- ing ramp. This parking area is one of the projects involved in the town ' s 10-point piog ram of mi- piovements initiated this year. Notice was served on the board by the contractor that operations could not be continued for lack of materials , due to the current strike of the sand and gravel tmek drivers. The new date for completion of this project will de- pend on the outcome of the strike negotiations.

Dominy to head its November slate of candidates , which includes three incumbents and five newcomers. Doubling a* Brookhaven Town' Republican loader , Mr. Dominy nas bet n pegged as the party ' s strongest hope to retu rn town control to the GOP , which was ost to thj Democrats by a narrow margin in 1959. The comp ' ete slate is as follows: Incumbent Char.es W. BarrauU ot Mt. Sinai for highway superin- tendent ; Clarence L. Hough of Selden , George Fuchs of Stony Brook and Da\id Weissbergj r of Patchogue for councilmen; Edwin A. Arnzen of Center Moriches foi town clerk ; incumbents Erling I arsen of Mastic Beach and Leon Giuffreda of Centereach for jus- tices of the peace; and Alex Proios of Lake Ronkonkoma for tax re- ceiver. Close to 300 GOP committeemen . -weltered through the rap id ses- sion which got under way at 8:30 p. m. Monday at Suffo 'k Count y Republican Head quarters , Blue Point , with a spiiited kick-off speech by Count y Leader Arthur M. Cromarty. Percj Raynor , a former tow n ^uper\i- ,oi who lost to tne i rest nt incumbent , Augurt Stout , Jr., in 1959 , and a membei of th<> nomi- nating committee , announced the slate. The reason for the unusually eail y announcement , accoiumg to Mr. Raynoi , was to give the hope- fuls a chance to adequately covei the town, which is the largest in the state , prioi to election. The report b y the nominating committee was pi evented to the full committee in less than an hour and the choice of Mr . Dc miny who for many yeais has been ac- tive in count y GOP politics , did not com e a- , a surprise. Although the l ecommendations by the nominating committee do not moan these men will be official party candidates , it is generally conceded that the slate will be the same come November.
