Moriches Taxpayers OK Purchase of School Land EAST MORICHES—One hundred and ten voters of Union Free School District 34 (East Moriches ) voted Monday nig ht b y a 65-45 marg in to purchase approxi- mately 300 b y 262 feet of land directly south of the school building on Adelaide Avenue . Cost of the land, $7500 , is expected to be paid for in three yearly installments with a resultant increase of 12 and one-half cents per $ 1 00 of assessed valuation , according to Conrad Alden , school board member. Monday nig ht' s approval of the proposition reverses a negative vote registeied in Jul y of 1960 by 37 taxpayers of tne district when they voted 19-18 not to pur- chase the tract of land belonging to Paul Warner of Ea~t ivloricnes. Approval came on the heels of open discuss.on by the taxpayers. Among the points broug ht-out , according to Princi pal Harry W. Huson , was tn< > nee>i ior luture expansion of the school facility in the face of increasing school- age population. Mr. Huson also said that the Newport Beach de- velopment in East Moriches could be expected to y ield \hundreds of children which the East Moriches School Board will be responsible for. \ The expansion , he said , would be undertaken \ within a few years. \ Another reason advanced in favor of purchasing the land was that an enlarged facility would enable East Moriches to be con- sidered as the focal point when and if a reorganization of the school district comes about. Commenting on the large in- crease in taxpayer interest in this proposition , one of just under 200 per cent , Mr. Huson said that taxpayers had been notified by postal card of the second vote on the proposition. Dead Horse Presents One Weighty Problem CENTER MORICHES — That the 1960' s are seeing increases in almost every service imaginable is a fact of scant comfort to Charles Hedges and his niece , Elizabeth Kochlin of Center Moriches. Even though they can take water skiing lessons , learn to p lay the bongo drums or how to do the \twist \ they 'll tell you of a big — *$ gap left unfilled in the booming service industries. Their trouble began the nigh t of November 17 , when Miss Kochlin discovered that her 12 year old mare , \Tribble , \ had died. For the next anxiety-filled several hours , their cry was \A horse , a horse , my king dom for a place to bury a dead horse. \ First they consulted the p hone directory, but found no one of- fering a horse removal service. Next , they turned to local jacks of all trades only to find that horse removal was their only are of unfamiliarity. A phone call to the police drew pretty much of a blank , says Mr. Hedges . Meanwhile , his despera- tion , blood pressure and p hone bill were mounting. Finally, he prevailed upon the town ' s highest office , and author- ization was soon secured for him to bury the horse at the town dump off Railroad Avenue in Center Moriches. Commenting on a situation he described \ as unprecedented to my knowledge \ , August Stout , Jr., said that despite a town ordinance prohibiting the depositing of dead animals in the town dumps , he had given permission to Mr. Hedges because the health de- partment said that burial of ani- mals could take place on the town dumps providing that it was done at least three feet down. Accord- ing to both Mr. Hedges and Mr. Stout , this l-uling was more than complied with . The supervisor concluded with a fair question: \What is a man with a dead horse on his hands to do?\ Moriches Woman ' s Club Plans Luncheon-Bridge CENTER MORICHES—A lunch- eon bridge will be g iven b y the Moriches Woman ' s Club at the club house on Lake Avenue December 6 , for the benefit of Camp Paquatuck.

Mastic Resident Suffers Broken Leg When Hit b y Auto MAtone—A 30-year-old Mastic man is convalescing at his home with a broken left leg after being- struck by a car Friday at about 6:55 p. m. as he walked east on the south side of Montauk Highway near Lambert Street . Fift h Precinct Patrolman Gerald Q. Garrett , who investigated the accident , reported that the driver of the car is unknown , but that it was not a hit-and-run such as oc- curred November 20 in Shirley. Capt. Irving Weeks of the Fifth Precinct said that police are still searching for the driver of the automobile which struck down Phi- li p DeMarco of 5 Stuart Road , Shirley, as he was walking north on the east side of William Floyd Parkway with a campanion. He is presently at Bayview Hospital. Mastic Beach. According to police , tne injured man , Robert Sabatelli of George Drive told them the driver of the 1959 vehicle stopped and offered him assistance. Mr. Sabatelli said the driver took him in his car to a nearby restaurant and bought him a cup of coffee , police said. When Mr. Sabatelli got ready to leave the restaurant , he told police , he could not walk and was later taken to a doctor ' s office. Reached at his home b y tele- phone , Mr. Sabatelli , a carpenter, said he was on his way to a busi- ness appointment when the acci- dent occurred. He declined to discuss further the circumstances of the aci-ident. The 'Messiah/ Season Favorite , To Be Presented CENTER MORICHES—The Choral Society of the Moriches , under the direction of Josef Lem- men , will sing Handel' s \Messiah\ on December 10, at 3:30 p. m. The presentation , featuring singers fiom Sayville to Westhampton Beach , will take p lace at the Center Moriches Hi gh School All-Purpose room. The concert , this year , will mark the twenty-fourth annual presenta- tion by the society. Admission to the concert is free , although per- sons wishing to support this program may contribute to the society in return for a program listing and two reserved seats at the performance. Patron subscrip- tions may be obtained from any member of the chora l group. In 1741 , Geore Frederic Handel composed the entire \Messiah \ in just 24 days. This oratorio has become his best known. Though regarded as an \Angerman \ com- poser , he lived most of his life in Eng land. The \Messiah\ was com- posed entirely in English , which accounts for its remarkable clarit y of meaning, a point often lost in translations. The composer , on August 22 , 17- 41 , sat at his desk in a littl e room of his home in London , and began rapidl y putting notes on paper. He did not leave his house or room. His food was brought in to him by a servant. After 24 days , he shut his manuscrip t , snuffed out his candle and retired. As he comp let- ed his \Hallelujah\ chorus , a ser- vant found him with tears stream- ing from his eyes. He said , broken- ly, \I did think 1 did see all heaven before me and the great God him- self. \ Mrs. Edna Kaler Gracey, who founded the organization , directed the singers of the society for many years. After she moved to Ten- nessee , George Harrup took over. The choral group discontinued for a few years unti l Josef Lemmen , present conductor re-organized it in 1959 at which time 30 singers participated. Each year a new chorus is added to the program . This year the public will hear \And He Shall Purify \ , in ad- dition to about eight other choruses. CENTER MORICHES NEWS Mrs. Alfred K.

Blackmer , Jr., of Tuthill Avenue , East- port , reenhsted in the United States Army on November 20 for a period of three years. Charles , who has three years of prior Arm v service , enlisted through the local Army Recruiting Station , Countv Center . River- head , for duty with his former? unit , the 7th Special Forces , now located at Fort Bragg, N. C. Enlistment in the Special For- ces is highl y selective , and for men only. To begin with , Special Forces troopers are \Double Vol- nuteers \ , trained to be rough , tough , and cunning. They must be volunteer paratroopers , and they must have volunteered for the critical , demanding guerrilla oper- ations which are the special forces , reason for being. Troopers of the dauntless organization are daring young men who would \hit the silk\ behind the enemy ' s front. They would join native guerrilla outfits and help fight tyranny from within. The concept of the Airborne Special Forces was born in Korea. Behind the Communist lines were South and North Koreans who might have fought effectivel y if they had been oi ganized. Such a program was improvised and later flowered into today ' s hard-hitting Special Forces. The Special For- ces would go into action thorough- ly trained to organize and direct guerrilla bands behind enemy li- nes. Special Forces , troopers receive the toughest , most diversified training of any soldiers in the en- tire history of warfare. They ' re trained to surpass the most daring deeds of the United States Rang- ers and the British Commandos of World War II fame. It begins when they enter \Jump School\ after comp leting combat training. After becoming qualified paratroopers , trainees take a six-month course in subjects such as communications , tactics , medical aid , weapons , and special Airborne training at Fort Bragg. Then the troopers test their new skills in the field. They get pre- liminary training at the Pisga Na- tional Forest , and amp hibious and servival tra-ning at Camp Lejeune , both in North Carolina. Qualified swimmers and demolitionists get rugged training in costal swamps nearby. Every trooper lives off the land for a week during this train- ing phase. When the steel-hard h oopers of special forces complete this training, they have the fierce , surging pride that comes with knowing they are the best soldiers in the world ! His wife , Mrs. Charles Black- mer, formerly Miss Sherily Travis , of Tuthill Avenue , Eastport , and their daughter. Debra Ann , will remain in Eastport until after the holidays , then move to Fort Bragg.
