I * Wednesday, Jan. 5, 1972 Single Copy 15c $4.50 Per Year ‘ PRODUCTIVE’ BEST REVAMPED BUS DESCRIBES YEAR 1971 SCHEDULE STARTS IN WEST WAYNE While most citizens were making resolutions for the new year, the staff of the Courier Journal was busily engaged reviewing the headlined stories presented in the just completed year. Before the month-by-month review is given, several noteworthy facts need to be presented in order that the year 1971 fall into proper perspective. The amount and importance of the year’s headlines demands that two reviews be prepared- one for the first six months of 1971-which appears in this issue- and a second half-year report, which will appear in the Jan. 12 issue of the Courier Journal. The big picture-the towns of Palmyra, Macedon, Walworth and Marion--looks like this: Health-during 1971 came a brand new hospital in Canan daigua, a nearly-completed new hospital in Clifton Springs andtgn underway acUUuuu *«al NfeStairk- Wayne Community Hospital.

AND IN MACEDON A survey of local governments and industry in the Macedon area reveals a stable employment picture and growth and development at a rather rapid pace in some areas. Even with all the construction taking place, m a n a g e rs counsel that we shouldn’t look for any dramatic increase in employment levels. Hal Arney, spokesm an for Mobil Chemical Plastics Division, states “ our em ployment picture is stable with an approximate increase of 5 percent per year. We employ about 1500 people in the Macedon area and that figure is expected to remain fairly stable in 1972.4 The Plastics Division in troduced several new products during 1971. These products are manufactured both in Macedon and Canandaigua. Bicor, an oriented polypropylene film, used as an overwrap sim ilar to cellophane, is* Macedon. This fOHl 'is produced by a new process Jartd has' ex- ceptionally high clarity and strength.

As explained by Carroll Hutt, superintendent, “The rearranged bussing schedule elim inates several dual bus runs; reduces, wherever possible, the amount of time that pupils spend on a bus run and shortens the bus run in many cases.” “Additionally, this improved efficiency in our bus schedule will improve our scheduling of the buses for dism issal at the elementary schools and enable us to inaugurate ‘moved u p ’ opening and closing times at the Middle School.” Effective Jan. 10th the at tendance will be taken at the Middle School at 8:00 a.m. in stead of the former 8:15 (doors will open at 7:50 a.m .); dismissal time will be moved up at the For Our.

On Page Two of this issue, two opposite views of the state’s problems a re presented. The best opinion is possibly the one that arrived in today’s mail from Arthur Levitt, Comptroller of the State of New York. Among many other remarks he makes in a letter addressed to two assemblymen, he states : “There is no good solution for this year or next year...in the sense of public acceptance. The options are all bad--defTcit financing, a severe reduction in services, a slashing of state aid4 a postponement of obligations, a major tax increase.” “Any combination of these options may carry us through with enough a c a sh--but, the solution will be painful for the Legislature, _hard on local governments and worse for the taxpayers.” Morrison Elected Asst.
