ides By Mary Parker The following prayer was offered by Father Clay of St. James Episcopal Church at Memorial Day services in South Park, Pulaski, 1986. \From the Printer's son in Boston, who carried a rusty musket at Lexington, to the Virginia fanner, whose feet bled while he froze at \ alley Forge; From the stowaway on Jean Lafitte's Clipper Ship, who perished in New Orleans, to the Kentucky sharp shooter who didn't make it back from Vicksburg. From the frontier boys at the Alamo who held off the entire Mexican army, for awhile, to the Roughriders of Teddy Roosevelt on the island of Cuba; From the Illinois doughboy, who was bayoneted on the Maginot Line, to a Colorado Lieutenant, who didn't know what hit him on December 7,1941 at Pearl Harbor; From the boys who took Normandy Beach on the backs of their comrades, to the valiant captains of the carriers off the Philippines during the Japanese Slot Plan; From the guys who covered the retreat to the sea in Korea, to the MIAS and POWS facing a living death even now in the jungles of Vietnam; O Lord, we give you thanks. We thank you for the freedom in which they believed, and for which they died. We thank you that they gave their all. Help us so to live as to have made it all worth-while for them. Help us to become living memorials to them and the freedom for which they relinquished everything they could ever hope to be; May our Land reflect their courage, their sacrifice, their love today and always. May we continue their dreams. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

MEMBER NEW YORK STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION Flow and temperature studies aimed at protecting and enhancing recreational fisheries on the Salmon River and other waterways where hydroelectric power is generated have been an- nounced by Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., host utility in the jointly sponsored two- year research program. \This scientific venture promises a wealth of new information and data as future tools to predict and improve salmon and trout habitat in areas below hydro stations on the Salmon River and elsewhere in the U.S.,\ said John M. Endries, Niagara Mohawk senior vice president in charge of en- vironmental affairs and research and development. \A number of U.S. utilities involved in licensing and operation of hydro generating plants have ex- pressed interest in the results expected from this research,\ Endries noted. \The Salmon River, where Niagara Mohawk operates hydro stations at Lighthouse Hill and Bennetts Bridge,\ Endries continued, \is a resource treasured for its abundant sports fisheries. The Salmon also makes a substantial contribution to upstate tourism, the economy of Oswego County and the Village of Pulaski, where many millions of dollars are spent by the thousands of anglers who enjoy their sport there the year 'round.\ Co-sponsoring the $250,000 program with NM are the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. N.Y. State Department of Environ- mental Conservation and Empire State Electrical Energy Research Corp. A special advisory com- mittee comprised of representatives of govern- ment agencies, academic institutions and consulting groups has been formed to assist in quality control and 'peer review' in the state-of- the-art study, according to Endries. The immediate goal of the research is to develop and test two computer models. The first will apply fish-habitat concepts to flow hydraulics and stream fluctuations at hydro plants similar to those on the Salmon River, while the second study will focus upon river water-temerpature variations. Teams of specialists will conduct ex- tensive field tests and monitoring, employing various measuring devices and equipment at different points along the river daily through the summer season, Endries explained. \When this information is collected and processed by computers, we anticipate that it will serve as a useful tool for efficient and cost- effective fisheries management on hydroelectric waterways,\ Endries added. The joint project is the latest addition to many ongoing programs and activities by Niagara Mohawk to preserve the Salmon River's famed fisheries and promote angler safety while producing renewable, low-cost hydro power for consumers* Farm Labor Coverage Explained This is the time of year when Oswego farmers are hiring summer workers, and they should know the rules concerning Social Security coverage, Robert J. Smith, Social Security manager in Oswego, said recently. It is important that farm employers keep the proper records and report their employees' earnings for Social Security purposes. Employers should record their employee's name, address, Social Security number, wages paid, and their own employer iden- tification number. This information is needed so that if reports are required they can be made promptly and accurately. If the workers' wages are covered, then Social Security taxes must be withheld.. Agricultural wages are covered if the employee is paid $150 or more in cash wages during the year. Also, if an employee is paid on a time basis by the hour, day, week, or month-all of his or her wages are covered when the employee works on 20 or more days during the year. Should the employer withhold Social Security taxes from an employee's wages and then finds out that the wages are not covered because neither test is met, the Social Security tax should be refunded to the employee. Wages covered by Social Security should be reported by the farm employer after the end of the year in which they are paid. More information about coverage of agriculutral labor can be obtained at the Oswego Social Security Office, located at 120 East First Street, Oswego, N.Y. The telephone number is 343- 6430. Course Offered The Safety Council of Central New York will sponsor a six-hour defensive driving course July 26 at the State Office Building (first floor) 317 Washington St., Watertown, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. A two-part course will be offered July 9 and 16, from 6 to 9 p.m., at the Oswego County Building, corner of Bridge Street and Second Avenue, in Oswego. A fee of $28 will be collected at registration at door of class. Festival Set A bluegrass festival, featuring Alice Clemens, Norma Sweet and Company, and Bristol Mountain, will be held, rain or shine, July 4 from 2-7 p.m. The free event will be held at Breitbeck Park, Lake Street, Oswego. Appointed To Commission Senator John M. McHugh (R-C), 46th Senatorial District has announced his appointment to the New York State Legislative Commission on Dairy Industry Development. The appointment was made by Senate Majority Leader Warren M. Anderson (R- Q.Binghamton. \I am extremely pleased with my recent appointment to the Dairy Commission,\ Senator McHugh stated. He continued, \The goal of this bipartisan commission will be to conduct a thorough examination of the dairy industry, assessing factors such as changing technology, that will have far-reaching effects on dairv farming.\ According to Senator McHugh, the concept of a Dairy Commission was first proposed by the Senate Republican Majority in 1984. Although the Senate ap- proved this legislation in 1985, the Assembly Democratic Majority failed to act on this measure. The Commission became reality earlier this year when negotiations resulted in its inclusion within the 1986-87 New York State Budget. Senator Anderson has also appointed Senator Steve Riford (R-Auburn), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, as Chairman of the new Legislative Commission. \Technological advances, such as the increased use of isoacids, ultrafiltration, and the bovine growth hormone are changing many aspects of dairy farming. These changes will eventually affect prices and profits, production, the quality and prices of dairy products to the consumers and the overall financial health of the dairy farmer. The dairy industry must keep pace with these changes and New York State laws and regulations governing the industry will have to be adjusted accordingly,\ McHugh commented. The Senator went on to note that all major dairy and farm organizations have publicly voiced their support for the new Commission. \Farmers will be able to use the in- formation that the Com- mission provides for future planning and development. I am delighted that New York State now has a Commission which will address the needs of the dairy industry,\ Senator McHugh concluded. The Legislative Commission on Dairy Industry Development will complete its study and present its findings to the Legislature by March 31,1987. Consumer Victory Consumers who have fought for and won refunds from auto manufacturers may now also obtain a refund of the sales tax on the purchase price of defective new cars thanks to a \Lemon Law\ amendment enacted by the New York State Legislature and signed into law by Governor Cuomo on June 9, 1986. Consumers were previously trapped in a \catch 22\ situation where, despite the fact that they had been found to be justified in their complaints and had been refunded the purchase price of the vehicle, they were unable to get their sales tax refunded from either the manufactuerer or the State Department of Taxation and Finance. The new law provides, effective September 1, 1983, that anyone who has been refunded the price of a car under the Lemon Law may apply for a refund of sales tax from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance by filing an Application for Credit or Refund of State or Local Sales or Use Tax (Au 11). About 100 taxpayers are estimated to be affected. Those parties wishing to obtain information on the refund application process may contact the Depart- ment's Division of Taxpayer Services at W.A. Harriman Campus, Albany, New York 12227, or they may phone Taxpayer Services at 1-800- 342-3536. Out-of-state taxpayers may phone 1-518- 438-8581 for information. Said Commissioner Chu of the new legislation, \We're very pleased that at long last we can correct this problem and give taxpayers back the money rightfully due them.\ The law also provides that the Department pay interest on any pi*oeessable refund application which has not been paid within 90 days of its receipt.
