The a-mmber of Commerce
of the Moriches in a recent
letter to the Brookhaven Town
Board, requested the board' s
support In efforts to secure Suffolk County funds to improve
Railroad Avenue-Wading River
Road. The request was made
with the hope that such improvement would insure an exit of
the proposed Long island Expressway at this point.
An answer to the chamber's
letter came from Town Clerk
Edwin A. Arnzen, who stated
that the chamber's requestwould
be brought to the attention of the
town board.
Mr. Arnzen also related that
tentative plans currently call for
an exit of the Expressway at
this intersectton. He added however: "I must call to your attention that from past experience,
preliminary mapsfor major state
highways are frequently changed
prior to the actual construction
taking place."
In other chamber activities,
the growing group is currently
discussing a special promotion
to be held in Center Moriches
In the near future. The chamber's primary goal of securing
at least 25 merchant members
has been met and plans are progressing toward the scheduling
of the promotion.

Teachers in School District

decide who will represent them
in discussions of school policy,
classroom size , salary adj ustments and budget preparations
with the district's school board.
At stake in the contest, the first
such election to be held in Suffolk County, is the power of
negotiation being sought by two
groups representing
rival
teachers in the district,
Opponents in the ballotingare
the Mastic Teachers Association,
and a newly chartered local of the
American Federation of Teachers. A prime question raised
by the election is that of "unionism" of school teachers. John
Miller, head at the local teachers
group, has stated that his group,
as professionals, feels that,
agreements can be reached with
the board without the help of a
union.
John Flanagan, president of the
American Federationof Teachers
