Brookhaven Has Stars in its Eyes as Movie Cameras Grin d Away Kansas Oilfield Sprouts In Brookhaven Hamlet It ' s Movie Make-Believe: By Mary Alburger Like Jack' s beanstalk, an " oilfield" has sprouted overn i gh t in the hamlet of Brookhaven on the property of Sulliva n Gallo of East Patchogue, formerly the site of the Tiger Nurseries. Lest any Brookhaven resident should rush out to start drill- ing 1 on his property, it must be admitted that the "oilfield" is an ingenious set for the film , "Splendor in the Grass , " now being produced by the American playwright, William Inge, and inter- nationally recognized directo r and producer , Elia Kazan , by New- town Productions, Inc. Formerly some 200 acres of nursery stock , most of which had been removed by last spring, the oilfield is a scene of deliberate disrepair, with vines , man-wound about drilling equip- ment , rundown buildings to convey the general atmosphere of the depression that followed the hoy-days of the 1920' s. For those puzzled about the title— The title , "Splendor in the Grass ," comes directly from Wordsworth' s "Ode on Intimations of I m m o r t a l i ty ": "Though nothing can bring back the hour Of the splendor in the grass , Glory in the flower . We will grieve not , rather find Strength in what remains behind. " Mr. Inge , the author , who made his Broadway debut with "Come Back Little Sheba , " has among his cred i ts , "Picnic , " and "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs." For this outstanding American dramatist, "Splendor in the Grass ," is a first screen- play. He is associate producer and plays his first part as an actor in the picture . Brookhaven residents will be interested to learn - that the site on Beaver Dam Road was selected because of its resem- blance to Kansas. Its being found at all seems almost uncanny until one learn s that Charles II. Magu i re, assistant producer and unit manager , lives in West Islip and cruised all over Long Island searching for a house with acreage that could serve as a Kansas ranch. Looking out over the acres behind the handsome red brick house , on Beaver Dam l?oad , last occupied by Mrs. Walter E. Corrigan , the flatness of the land certainly suggests Kansas to those so minded. Some (55 persons , working inobstrusively, and in various capacities , are completing the week's work in Brookhaven tomorrow , and also finishing 13 weeks of production on the film, which will be released about December through Warner Brothers. During their production work here , the entire cast and crew have been staying at the Patchogue Motel. Starring in the. picture is Natalie Wood , who had leading roles in "Marjorie Morningstar," and "Cash McCall ," and has been a screen actress since she was a child. Co-star is Walter Beatty, for whom it is a first screen appearance although he has appeared on television and on the stage in Mr. Inge 's "A Loss of Roses. " Pat Hingle , one of Broadway ' s best-known character actors , is cast as Beait y ' s father. Mr. Hingle has worked with both Mr. Kazan and Mr. Inge , and played (he starring title role in the Pulitzer Prize-winning "J. B." Surmounting an almost fatal accident , he returned to the stage in "The Deadly Game. " Playing Miss Wood' s mother is Audrey Christie , who has a Broadway history that goes back to such famous musicals of the Twenties as "Good News " and "Follow Thru. " Cast as Stonewall Jackson in "Sailor Beware ," she then plaved Olive Lashbrook in "Voice of the Turtle, " both in New York and London. Other members of the hand-picked cast include Fre d Stewart , Joanna Roos , Barbara Loden, Zohra Lamport, Jan Norn ' s, Gary Lockwood and Charles Robinson. Boris Kaufman is director of photography, Donald Krauze and Joe Manduke , assistant directors , Richard Sylbert, art director , and Gene Callahan , set decorator. "Splendor in the Grass ," set in Kansas , is the story of a hoy and girl , who in losing each other , find themselves. The time is about. 1P-2R-1M2.

Called the achievement level team tech- nique , some teachers in River and Bay Avenue Elementary Schools will organize their teaching according to this new plan to determine its potential as a more efficient system of elementary instruction. The idea has been formu ated as a result of several months of dis- cussion by a group of teachers and administrators in the Patchogue system. Hours of p lanning have resuited in setting up an organi- zation for a limited e x p e r i m en t in the two schools. In River Avenue, one grade each in grades. , one throug h six will be assigned to this achievement level-team plan. The other grades in the school will continue on the traditional p lan of instruction with one teach- er teaching the single grade throughout the entire day. In Bay Avenue , one fifth and one. sixth grade will operate on the achievement level-team p lan. All other grades in Hay Avenue will continue on the traditional plan of instruction. No other schools in the system will he involved with this achievement level-team plan. The details of the p lan involve both the teachers and the class- rooms. Two teachers will be asso- ciated instructionally with two grade groups. Each teacher will be assigned his or her own class- room. The first difference in the achievement level-team plan is that each teacher will teach a more limited subject area but to each of the two grades. One of the two teachers will handle the English-social studies subject mat- ter while the second teacher will instruct in the science , mathema- tics, health subject matter. Each teacher will instruct one group in his or her subject area for one-half day and will then change to the other grade group the second half of the day. In other words , each toacher will in- struct in a more limited subject matter area hut will teach this subject matter to two grades ra- ther than one. The grade groups will spend the day in the two classrooms. Furthermore , each tea- cher will be associated with each student for a period of two rather than one year.

Barraud to continue to maintain Waverl y Avenue in return for Is- lip Town ' s handling of Eatondalc Avenue and Pond Road. The ar- rangement has been in operation for years because town lines run down the middle of the thorough- fares and it is more efficient for a highway department to clear and repair an entire street rather than half of one , Members of the board had contended that, a resolution was not necessary because the ar- rangement was well known , but Mr. Barraud, a Republican , said he did not wish to p lace himself in a position where the all-Demo- cratic Town Hoard might accuse him of misusing town funds . The resolution called the two- town arrangement "an amicable solution of said problem " and pointed out that "An act of the state legislature is required to fix jurisdiction. " Town officials have said that they would ask the state legislature to move the boundaries of the two towns to make road maintenance more efficient. Supervisor August Stout , Jr ., said: "This board has taken the initiative to correct a situation which has existed for many years . Previous administrations had left the highway superintendent on a limb by requiring him to do illegal maintenance work.

Lee Dennison , the board of trustees of the college and Herman W. Beebe, president of the Cen- tral School District 5 Board of Education. f For its first year of operation the college will offer _ full-time two-year programs leading- to the degrees of associate in a rts and associate in applied science. Sep- tember freshmen will be able to choose from among four areas of academic specialization , two in the area of business and the remain- ing two in libera! arts areas. Pro- grams will be offered which will prepare students for later transfe r to four year colleges or which can be considered as terminal pro- grams. Accommodations for 250 full time students are p lanned for the opening term at the temporary campus. Plans are Hearing com- p letion for offering part time study at Sachem and at River- l\i ad High School for those who are not in a position to devote full time to college. The basic re- quirement for admission to the college is a high school di ploma and a general background which indicates an ability to profit from college level study. In the case of adults , a high school equivalency diploma will be considered as -meeting the basic educational re- ((uirement for admission.

Mr. Barraud had called the deci- sion to abandon snow fencing " a big mistake. You are taking peo- p le 's lives into your own hands ," he had charged. "You ' re saving money in the wrong way. " The highway superintendent ap- peared before the board yesterday and presented a detailed request for funds for snow- fencing, suit , sand and other materials needed to control snowfall.
