Enjoy fins food, yes, but other things. WJL I WMERl The board has already denied one application by Dr. Anthony Virgo to build the "Community Center" but a revised plan was submitted last night. Dr. Virgo's group, the Irond Realty eliminated one of two proposed medical buildings and arranged a new layout of property.

Dr. Virgo said last night a 300-foot strip of land adjacent to the project would be do- nated to the town for dedication as a road. The move would eliminate the dead end in Thorndyke. The proposed project site is at 441 Titus Ave. on the former Graff rath Farm.

One objector, Mrs. Mitchell Bandura of 259 Thorndyke Road, said the proposed opening would make her street "an expressway to Titus Avenue." She also objected to plans to connect the apartment to the Thorndyke Road sewer too. Things to help make Her Day one to treasure. Things like Superb service and gracious decor. Plus the pleasure of enjoying the cosmopolitan atmosphere of airport activity.

He added that neigh borhood children are used to AT ThC AIRPORT dead-end traffic conditions and that increased traffic the Subway, the Bumper Cars and the Tilt-A-Whirl. Kirby acquired the rides about 1945, and before that he simply managed them, starting out with the Jack Rabbit in 1922.

Born on a farm in Saginaw, 68 years ago, Kirby drifted into the amusement park business because of his taste for engine grease. "I like to monkey around with "would make it hazardous in there." The board reserved decision on the appeal. The board also heard an by Carl Proia of 81 engines," he says, "ana every nae nas one." Rogers Pkwy. for approval of an apartment project at 580 By DON KNORR Living under a roller-coaster for 30 years was reason enough for an interview yesterday with John Kirby of Dreamland Park, Irondequoit. But the salty carnival man operator of five rides In the park would go us one better.

He spends his winters making toys in a maintenance building under the roller-coaster, a sort of Santa's Workshop on a lower altitude. For unlike the fabled gentleman, Kirby's handiwork-most of it equipped with motors of one sort or another has been solely for his children and granddaughter, Kim. But it'll be some time before 7-month-old Kim, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Kirby of 1363 Dewey appreciates the miniature amusement park powered by an electric motor, no less which her grandfather spent all last winter constructing.

Kirby, a man with a penchant for tools, started making toys for his family in 1944 when the war made such items scarce. Among others, he has made a cart for Paula's pony (Paula is now a senior at Our Lady of Mercy High School) and a midget racer for David and his twin brother. Donald, now both 24. The toy shop, however, occupies only a small part of the maintenance building under the roller-coaster called the Jack Rabbit and also only a small part of Kirby and Don's winter routine. On the walls are hung about every hand tool invented by man since the Stone Age and just about every nut and bolt also seems to be represented.

Besides the roller-coaster, the Kirbys and their staff of nine or 10 men operate and maintain the Flying Scooters, Ridge Road E. Proia plans to build 14 buildings with 10 units in each with a total assessed valuation of $400,000. The site is 230 by 905 feet. There was no objection to the plan.
