Can the Patchogue Lions Club surpass some ofthebetter July 4. parades of other years ? Well ,they'll tell you they're going to die trying;figuratively, not literally.

First of all they'll have Chet and if you were never told the lastname but were merely informed that, sorry, David couldn'tbe on hand, you would know who Chet was without making a secondguess. Chet Huntley of the well -known TV news team wlll .behonorary grand marshal and will step our and take a look at whathas been following him from the East Main Street reviewing stand.

Come the holiday morn, Chet Huntley will get dressed in hisbest bib a/id tucker and present himself to his many TV admirerswho will line the parade route to get a glimpse of "The Voice."

The parade is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. Monday from theassembly point on the avenues off of West Main Street, betweenRiver Avenue and Havens Avenue. The line af march, with LionAbe Siegel acting as grand marshal, will be easterly on West MainStreet, on through East Miin Street toCase Avenue. The reviewing

stand will be located in front of the'Elks Club on East Main Street ,Mayor Robert T. Waldbauer will be master of ceremonies.This year 23 marching bands and 75 marching units will bedropped into strategic spots to give rise to lagging feet and anynumber of floats keyed to this year's parade theme-IndustrialNuclear Development-will lend color to the event. Floats will beentered by the Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island Light-ing Co., School District 24, the Patchogue- Medford School District ,the Village of Patchogue, Brookliaven Town, Veterans Organiza-tions and other local groups that have been represented in paradesof preceding vears.

Lions Club officials have indicated that cash awards will be givenin several float categories, including: Most Patriotic , three awards;and Most Beautiful, three awards in both senior and junior divisions.Trophies also will be awarded in bands and drum md bugle corps-senior and junior divisions—competition.

This will be but a third of the entertainment the Lions C lub hasplanned for the holiday amusement of the thousands of spectatorswho will throng the area July 4. The other two-thirds will not benew, but wil! provide an excitement that has not lessened by the

passing years: Sky divings band concert bv the Patchogue VillageRec. Dept. Band, and fireworks. The band concert will be at7 p.m., the sky diving at 7:30 p.m. and the fireworks at 9 p.m.

/ Sky diving is relatively new but never ceases to draw its "oh' sand ah' s" as tiny figures come hurtling out of the sky with un-opened parachutes to pull chute cord s when only a few thousandfeet above ground , although in this case it will be the water of theGreat South Bay that will embrace the descenders. The skydiving team will be made up of many local young men inc ludingBill Busch , Bob Nystrom, Kevin Brady, Jerry Fenton, John Schaef-fer and Mike Efstration; also Tony Perna, Fred Wilde , BillMartin , Bill Morrissey, Peter Ibargren and George Braden.

The sky diving show will take place on the shorefront precedingthe after dark fireworks display.

The Lions Club of Patchogue has found sponsoring and organiz-ing of these holiday activities to be much more than the simple,routine thing it used to be. As with everything else these days,costs have continued to rise making tlie job of raising fu nds a

Suffolk County's five East End towns receivedpermission from a three-man federal court Tuesdayto carry their fight against the same court' sordered reapportionment plan for the Suffolk Boardof Supervisors to the United States SupremeCourt. In the 2-1 ruling, the East End townswere also given the green light to seek a per-manent stay from the Supreme Court of theweighted vote plan ordered into effect June 15by the federal court.

The federal court Tuesday alsopermitted the five towns to enterthe legal action as defendants ,thereby allowing them to joinwith the county in an appeal ofthe weighted vote ruling. Whiledenying an East End bid for apermanent stay of the weightedvote ruling, the court did imposea seven-day stay, effective im-mediately, which puts the Suf-folk County Board of Supervis-ors back on a one vote per eachsupervisor basis. However no

board meetings are scheduledwithin that period, a boardspokesman said. Under the courtordered plan , the five East Endtowns have but 14 votes whilethe five West End towns control120 votes.

In appealing to the court %&»stay the weighted vote order , theEast End towns, which IncludeRiverhead, Shelter Island, SouthHampton, East Hampton andSouthhold, charged that theweighted vote plan will make asplit of Suffolk County'inevitable.It was also charged that theweighted vote system had alreadymade western supervisors"vicious" and "irrational."
