PHOTO DRIVEN. Carol Ann Carney of Hicksville works at a Fotomat kiosk in the parking lot at Roosevelt Field in August 1971. At the time, there were nearly 1,600 Fotomat booths nationwide, with 44 of them on Long Island.

DRY RUN. Mrs. John Caputo of Seaford tries out the JetStream 5-Minute Dryer, a new type of hair dryer, at the Granada Beauty Salon in Massapequa on Jan. 21, 1970. The dryer brought hot air through the tubes to the rollers, cutting drying time in half.

A WINNING BID. Ed Bokina of Laurel ties crates of cauliflower onto his truck on Sept. 12, 1974, at the Long Island Cauliflower Assocation auction block on Route 58. In the 1950s, cauliflower was second only to potatoes as the Island's big money crop, but the auction's 72-year tradition ended in December 1987.

IN 'CASE' OF EMERGENCY. In advance of a possible beer shortage, Frank Rabinowitz of Hicksville stocks up on Rheingold on June 26, 1958. That month, five major breweries in the metropolitan area were on the brink of shutting down because of disputes with unions.

BREAK IN THE BARRACKS. Enlisted men spend leisure time reading and relaxing in their bunks at Roosevelt Field in 1942, when it was a miliary base. Charles Lindbergh had departed from Roosevelt Field for his 1927 trans-Atlantic flight in the Spirit of St. Louis. The airfield closed to flying in 1951.

ON BOARD FOR THE BEACH. Surfboards signal the day's activity on June 29, 1964, at Gilgo Beach. Surfing pioneer Hobie Alter gave a performance at the beach that day that included tandem surfing with his wife. Gilgo Beach hosted the first East Coast surfing competition in 1962

KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON. A sign at Jones Beach on April 14, 1962, warns of prohibited behavior. According to news reports at the time, guards with binoculars kept watch over the parking fields to catch violators of the rule against disrobing in cars.

ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE. Ecstatic crowds greet presidential candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower on Oct. 28, 1952, on Greenwich Street in Hempstead. "Everywhere along the 40-mile route," Newsday reported, "Eisenhower was met by flag-waving, banner-bearing crowds which at some points threatened to mob his car." The candidate was joined by former New York Gov. Thomas Dewey, in back, and Nassau County Executive J. Russell Sprague, in front.

WAITING A TURN. Signs at the Twin Gulf station in Lake Ronkonkoma alert drivers to gasoline rationing by license plate number on Feb. 25, 1974, during the OPEC oil embargo. While Suffolk County rationed fuel by plate number, Nassau limited the amount drivers of private cars could purchase.

AN UPHILL SLIDE. Skiers hold the tow rope on the ski lift as they go up a hill at Bethpage State Park on Jan. 8, 1958. The park offered a single rope tow on the 18th hole of the Green Course from 1948 until the early 1970s and was billed as having the first ski tow on Long Island, serving a 400-foot slope with 100-foot vertical drop.

IT MAY BE FASTER TO WALK. On July 11, 1981, all roads led to Jones Beach -- at least on the southbound Meadowbrook State Parkway, which was jammed with cars on that summer Saturday. Northbound traffic was light enough that a pedestrian could cross the roadway.

A FIRE ISLAND VISIT. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. greets well-wishers Sept. 2, 1967, on the ferry to Fire Island on his way to speak at fundraising rallies in Seaview and Ocean Bay Park to support the American Institute on Nonviolence.
