ISUKND DISPATCH Page 2 JANUARYZI, 11965 property without waiting for cit- izen -request if the board deems such rezoning to be in the in- terest of the town? Could ‘be, according to town attorney Rich- ard’ J. Couch, if a public hear- ing precedes such action. But what if citizens loudly protest said rezoning at the public hear- ing? Certainly voters will want their opinions considered insuch a decision rather than be pushed aside» and forced to abide by the ruling of ‘five elected officials and one property owner. Some- how it just doesn’t sound kosher. by ‘Mary Heydené 773 - 4648 Miss Laura Ellsworth of ‘La- Salle fcourt broke ‘both wrists a while‘ back toboganning. She's coming along nicely now and is anxious to get back to tobogan- ning and rejoining Teddy K1inge1’s twirling classes. How did you like -Lynn Smith's column last -week?‘ We enjoy everything Lynn writes. She’*s.a former member of'our broken- -down writer's club here on the Island and does someof the best light verse we've ever read. Junior Chamber This is National Junior Chamber of Commerce Week, a good time to salute our local Jaycees who have been actively engaged in _community service ‘ever since they were chartered -in 1953. Projects sponsored or aided by the Junior Chamber here in- clude the teenage rodeo, Road Knights, Easter egg hunt, Little League, recognition of outstanding accomplishments, Christmas decoration and lighting contests, area skating rink, Junior achieve- ment, fluoridation, get-out-the-vote, youth welfare, Civil Defense», safe driving Americanism, children’s Halloween parties and the -Blood Bank. Twelve year old Paulie Linen- felser -found a skinny lost dog around Christmas time and ‘kept it, feeding and pampering it, while ‘looking for the owner. Paulie named him Nanook from a story he’d read and the two had some fine times. Then Nan- ook was claimed by his owner who rewarded Paulie by giving him a puppy. Paulie has decided this is almost as good as having Nanook and is now carefully selecting a name for his newpal. His dad says, “You can bet it’11 be something unusual.” Mr. and -Mrs. Ernest Gibbons have had as their guests Mrs. Gibbons’ parents, \Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smith of Fort Wayne, In- diana. They came here a month ago for a week, spent two weeks with another daughter in Stony Creek, Ontario, then came baek to the Island for a- week. Mr. and Mrs. Gibbons drove them back to Fort Wayne over the weekend. Speaking of rezoning, the tri- angular plot on Grand Island Blvd, Staley and Stony Point Roads, often the subject of zoning ‘hear- ings, just may become the site for the new town hall. Locating the -building there was proposed by Peace Justice F. Donald Haw- ley at Monday’s meeting. Plans for the new hall call for its construction at the same lo- cation as present town head- quarters. The town paid about $4500 (your tax dollars and mine) for those plans when the Baseline location was approved by the board by a 4 to 1 vote. Jacob Fruechtbaum is the architect. About the 8 acre site on Grand Island Blvd. and Staley, let’s_ not forget that the Blvd. at that point is one-wa.y.Travellng south on the Blvd. would mean turning left at staley and riding around the block to reach a town hall front enterance if it is located on-Grand Island Blvd. The Chamber’s latest project, a community attitudes survey, promises to be one of its greatest achievements. A summary ofi some of the interesting results of the survey are reported in this , week’s Island Dispatch. Some of the objectives of the Junior Chamber are to develop leadership among members and to give them a voice in the affairs of their community, state and nation. These are indeed fine am- bitions and the town stands to profit from such aims. To learn more about the Junior Chamber of Commerce and its accomplishments in the United States, read “Young Men Can Change the World”. How our own Grand Island group helped a fellow Jaycee and his family in time of disaster is part of the worthwhile story. ‘ Bob Smith of 3416 Greenway Road ‘is home and «recuperating after surgery in Kenmore Mercy Hospital. It'll be another three weeks before he can go back to work. Phyliss Lutwack came to our rescue in several ways. Mostly getting us off the hook on the old silk stockings which havebeen accumulating, but also giving us a place to send old Christmas cards and all kinds of material scraps. Mrs. Marlon Amedlck, Griswald Road, Darien Center, Also recuperating is Miss Carol Kohlhagen who underwent emergency ‘surgery last week. Miss Catherine Stack is also home after surgery. Hope they’re all in good shape again soon. PROCLAM ATION When Erie County Sheriff B. John Tutuska spoke here last week he mentioned that food for prisoners at the jail is prepared in the department kitchens and no menu is repeated once in thirty days. He also invited any interested groups to tour the jail and said it takes about 45 min- utes; evenings are the best time. so what I think we should do is get down there into the kitchens and find out how they work that menu business. Alice and Adam 0’Sada have a three year old German short haired pointer named Spike who New York makes stuffed toys and scrap books for hospitalized children. She welcomes anything and everything in this line, but you have to mail it or deliver it, which isn’t bad. Mrs. Ame- dick doesn’t have a sewing ma.- chine and does all her work by hand. Now if I can only find out why we're saving all these purses. It seems to me it had something to do with women patients at the State Hospital. The cancelled stamps are rolling in and thank goodness I remember who gets them. we also fell heir to about three pounds of broken rosaries which Isabel Taylor is going to take over to Bishop Duffy in Niagara Falls. WI-1EREAS,the civic bodies and service organizations of our com- munity and the departments of the local government recognize the great service rendered to this community by the Grand Island Junior Chamber of Commerce, and True, the site is near the south Grand Island Bridge, easily seen from the Thruway and has other advantages If the State will allow a change in traffic pattern there. But what about its accessibility to taxpayers in other parts of the Island. . .and the purchase price which has been estimated at about $100,000 or roughly $12,500 per acre? WHEREAS, the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce and its affiliated state and local organizations have set aside the week of January 17 - 23, 1965 to observe the founding of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and WHEREAS, this organization of young men has contributed material- ly to the betterment of this community throughout the year. THEREFORE, I, \J:‘)'vn.u-/\ \° I) 1- 4 .. , Supervisor of the Town of Grand Island, do hereby proclaféx the week of January 17 - 23, 1-965 as JAYCEE WEEK and urge all citizens of our community to give full consideration to the future services of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The town board appoi ert C. Bates to replace Horace J. French on the planning Board. Mr. French resigned after many years of service. Mr. Bates will serve the one year remaining of his 5-year term. Still to be appointed are: a recreation director two mem- bers to the recreation commis- sion, a docket clerk and a dog warden. Dog warden William Kantenwein and docket clerk Mrs. Frank Rodriguez were given 30- day interim appointments at the Jan. 4th meeting of the board. The recreation director ap- pointment will go to Frank Rod- riguez if the vote is swungparty- wise. Mr. Rodriguez is a Re- publican. James (Mike) Niland, present director, is a Democrat. Whatever the outcome. may it be for the good of the town and its residents. The appointment will be made Feb. 1st, It would seem that replace- ment of a water meter in our Love Road residence should es- tablish some kind of a record in the water department. The me- tei‘ had seen continuous service since 1942. It was replaced when it developed a leak which ap- parently was beyond repair. Water Supt. Kenneth G. Win- ters announced Monday that James Hawley has resignedfrom his department and a position of laborer is now open. Appli- cants should contact Mr. Win- Contd. on Page 6 x_' I‘ 7‘?

Town Clerk Mrs. Elsiestamler also reminds us that motel, taxi and pedcllelts licenses should be renewed now for 1965. Failure to do so may result in fines for violators. Typewriters, calculators.tlres batteries and even cars may be purchased from the State at con,-, siderable savings. according to information received by the town board. For instance thelist price on a calculator for the asses- sors’ department was noted as $635 whereas the State price is $560 less an allowance of $100 for a trade-in. It was also said that a saving of $543 could be effected if two cars wanted by special districts departments were purchased from the State. “This survey express the feelings of the citizens of this A Traffic Bureau, voted into being‘ by the town board back in September 1958. may be put into effect. according to discus- sion at Monday's board meeting.
