Resides the chamber's boardot d i rectors , the luncheon meetingat the Patchogue Hotel was wella t t ended by members of the Mer-c h a n t s ' division. Banker GeorgeFurman . pres ident of the chamber ,presided.

Most of the speakers emphas iz-ed the impor tance of each membera t t e n d i n g the hear ing on the con-troversial proposal , scheduled forMarch 124 at the St. Francis deSales Youth center on South Oceanavenue.

I'atchogue lawy er Robert II.Pel le t reau pointed out that theTown board wi l l be influenced ,byn u m b e r s ra ther than lawyer 's"spiel " Besides being present atthe hearing, Mr. Pelletreau urgedchamber members to g e t theirnames on the opposition recordat the hearing, and to also writeindividual letters to the T o w nhoard . Referring to petitions infavor of the vezoning reportedlybeing circulated by civic organiza-tions in North Patchogue, Mr.Pelletreau commented: "I don 'ttake much stock in petitions. Theydon 't hold that much weight be-cause anybody can sign them."

The next speaker on tactics, At-torney Lincoln Schmidt , said bewas t ry ing to begin a post cardcampaign to show the Town boardthe extent of the assessed valua-tion in Patchogue. Mr. Schmidt \srepresenting the Property Ownersassociation. The proposed shop-p ing center in North Patchoguewould "spread business too thin ,"Mr. Schmidt said , "and Patchoguewould be destroyed as a shoppingcenter."

Mr . S c h m i d t suggested theTown board deny the rezoning pe-t i t ion since the town has no com-prehensive plan for business areasw i t h i n the township. "The towndoesn 't know where it' s going,"concluded Mr . Schmidt , "and spot-zoning is no solution."

Ludwig Brai l , cha i rman of theBusiness Property Owners of Pat-chogue organization , offered fig-ures from the New York StateDepar tment of Commerce to showthe effect of shopping centers onthe established or downtown busi-ness sections. In a letter to Mr.Brai l , the Commerce departmentsaid a survey covering G r e e nAcres , Mid Island and Rooseveltfield shopp ing centers showed thatw h i l e :',:>, per cent of the peoplesaid they shopped in the establish-ed bus iness section , t h e figuredropped l. IS per cent after thes h o p p i n g center was established,a less of 15 per cent. The remain-ing percentages shopped in Jamai-ca New York or other sections.

Local businessman Sidney Langsaid t h e idea of a "comprehensivep ' an " would appeal to the reasonof t lv Town board "It is an op-p o r t u n i t y to look forward to or-der ly growth and master plans ,"he said. "More than numbers, we.shou ld offer a posi t ive approach."
