Wave Editorials and Special Features The Memorial Day Week-end

Tomorrow will be celebrated ais Memo­rial Day. The holiday hasjipuble signifi­cance for the Rockaways. I t is a day set aside feme^nory of the nation's war dead. Also it is the traditional start of the sum­mer season in the Rockaways.

The tisaal parades and memorial ob-servaaees^will be held tomorrow mbrnine;. As has fceen .the case in recent years, everyone will be aware that the names of more localboys have been^ added to the roll of honored war dead. That aware­ness will bring into sharp focus the reali­zation that our country has not yet dis­charged its duty to our men Who sacri­ficed their lives on the altar of liberty and freedom.

^At present we are becoming cautiously optimistic that we are moving toward the end of the conflict in Vietnam, but we also are aware that there are in the world other trouble spots which could suddenly unleash new holocaust. Many, people will view tomorrow's parades as something more than merely spectacular.

Threat To Jamaica Bay In Albany?

They will join the community's vetej^te m hallowing the memory of those ^roS have died for our country. They will also join them in the prayer tha t the present conflict may soon end and tha t our men may never again know the horrors of battle.

According to the calendar, the Rock­away summer season opens tomorrow. I t should be a big week-end holiday and everybody hopes that the weather will lay aside i ts recent eaprieiousness and co­operate with the fun seekers and the local business places which help to provide it and are now ready to eater to the crowds.

Summer weather still is the all-impor­tant factor in determining the success of the season in the Rockaways. Last sum­mer's weather was the most favorable for the Rockaways that we have enjoyed in some years. Can we expect the same kind of weather this year? The law of averages is against it, but phenomenal things do happen these days and we can still hope.

^Assemblyman Herbert A. Posner, who represents this district, is suspicious of "•package" legislation as it might apply to Jamaica Bay. He has indicated that he intends to read carefully between the lines of any bill tha t is ̂ introduced in the State Assembly -which .might in any way affect Jamaica Bay. ]

Specifically, Posner believes than an at­tempt may be made, in spite of repeated denials by Federal Aviafion Authority spokesmen, to sneak through some kind of legislation which would permit addi­tional filling in the bay to provide for the expansion of Kennedy International Airport. That will be constantly in his nnn^Ftis Yte examines proposed new legis­lation. He wants to guard, against any possible attempt to make such legisla­tion part of a "package"~~6n-the theory that it might be tied in with some other measare which could pass through the legislative- mill unnoticed. . .Naturally, because his district is so vitally affected by the operation of the big airport. Posner can be expected to oppose any legislation which would add to the annoyance his^ constituents already

suffer from the noise of aircraft flying in and out of Kennedy.

Meanwhile he believes progress is being made in his attempt to bring a Jamaica Bay Commission into being. Such a com­mission would have authority over the protection of Jamaica Bay and its future development which also affects the in­terest of large parts of Kings and Nas­sau counties. Legislators in those areas are likewise interested in a Jamaica Bay Commission. Their colleagues in other parts of the state also are becoming in­terested, says Posner, who believes this is real progress in the campaign to set up the commission.

In the face of persistent rumors of further development of the airport which might include filling in the entire bay east of the Cross Bay road, the creation of a Jamaica Bay Commission takes on new urgency. With s o much being said about the need for additional recreation areas, the development of Jamaica Bay along these lines is most important. Perhaps even more important that the up the commission for which he i s work­ing so hard.

0'Connell Rest's First 5ft Years American Legion dignitaries were on

hand last Saturday night when a crowd of 400 persons assembled for Daniel M. O'Connell Post 's celebration of its 50tt anniversary. Speech-making was not s part of the evening's program, but a rather generous sprinkling of men who have been members of the post since its earliest days was present to comment oi the changes that have taken place in the post and the community during the past half-century. The intervening years have seen the post develop into one of tha largest and strongest American Legion posts in the state, one that several times has been recorded as the post making the greatest membership gain among the posts in Queens.

O'Connell Post's fine c l u b h o u s e on Beach 92nd street has become a veritable town hall, serving a wide range of com-, munity interests. I t seems a long way back to the days when the post met in rented quarters heated by a stove in which a fire had to be built well ahead of time so a meeting could be held.

Throughout its history, Daniel M. O'­Connell Post has been unselfish in its service. The efforts of its members have been exerted unstintingly to help the needy and the post's influence for good in this community is unquestioned. This is why local residents have been always ready to support the efforts of O'Con­nell Post.

Someone mentioned Saturday night that the post has completed its first 50 years and is beginning its second 50 years of existence. The virility which was ap­parent among the younger veterans a t the celebration is a good indication that the post will do much more than exist during the years ahead. These are men and women of action who are picking up the torch from older hands to carry it .brightly into the future. "

The post's turning point was reached just prior to World War II when it ac­quired the former home of the Dalcassian Club on Beach 92nd street. That added new zest to the post which began to as­sume leadership in community affairs.
