NATIONAL NEWSPAPER Nok lA'sgacfinys a EMPLO¥MENT PROBLEMS \The Employment Service Act of 1967\ would ex- pand the functions of the United States Employment Service and give it additional control over state-operated employment agencies. t _ The act would establish a Federal-State employment service which would also create an expanded employ- ment and manpower program to be administered in ac- cordance with standards approved by the Secretary of Labor. It is important that the public employment servic- es remain within the jurisdiction of the states. Volun- tary cooperation between the states and the Federal governmsnt in the operation of the employment service is justifiable if the degree of initiative is retained by the states. ‘ This proposed expansion would give the Federal government increased authority over employment and job classification requirements within individual states, and in some cases make it difficult for independent busi- ness to recruit and retain competent personnel.

THE BIRTH OF OGDEN The history of Ogden begins with a battle .. .a political one! The early history of Parma and Ogden is intermingled, and to understand it, one must com- prehend some of the history of early New York State. In the beginning, there were no little townships. None were needed. There were only a very few people-hardly any roads, only a few doughty pioneers, and a few friendly Indians. Nobody needed a town hall, then! 'The territory of New York originally consisted of 12 coun- ties, including land areas which are presently part of the states of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont The English claimed it, the Dutch, the French, and the Indians. In 1683 after the English 'had succeeded the Dutch and the Duke of York assumed the reins of government, the colony of New York was divided into 42 counties. Maps of the state in . subsequent years showed redi- vision after redivision, until , -- like pieces in a crazy quilt, the state became a mass of smaller townships. In the year 1790, the Legisla- county known as Ontario, but often called The Genesee Coun- iry. It ran from the lake to Pennsylvania and from the Ni- agra River east to Tioga and Onondaga counties. On April 4, 1797, the portion west of the Genesee was organ- ied into the town of North- ampton. An old county history said of it\ Like the miseratde worm, which, in the everlaxting circuit of nature, dies and loees its form in giving birth to the butterfly, it daid the groundwork of all the county and town organ- irtions now dotting its surface, whose growth was matured by the decay of the original struct m}: The first town meeting of old Northampton was held in Seotts- ville, and several Parma men were elected as officers. The inhabitants were so few that one man held three offices, It was voted to raise $50 to pay the necessary expenses of the town. And, $35.64 was allotted for the support of schools in the town., In the eighteenth century, all of the territory of New York State from the Genesee fiver to Lake Erie was included in this sprawling, giant town of North- ampton. But, frontier | rivalries sprang up, each locality seeking favors for its own area, and, bit by bit, the downsbhip was sub- divided into separate munécipel ities, Leicester, Batavia and South- ampton townships were created 'from Northampton in 1603 .and on December 8, 1807, the re- mainder of Northampton was a- gain divided into Pultency, Bay- ard, Fairfield and Northampton. On April 8, 1806, what was left of Northampfon was again redivided into Riga, Murray, Parma and Northampton, What was left of Northampton eventually became today's Gates and Greece. # # * Parma had three geographical areas which were designated on the land stirvey maps as: Fair- field {today's Ogden area), the Gore (today's south end of Par- ma), and Braddock's Bay, Many early histories would refer to the various parts of Parma as: \Braddock's Bay township\ or: \Fairfield in the town of Parma\ etc., to designate an area of the town, as we would today refer to \the Hilton area\\, or, \the Parma Corners arta\. The name of the town of Fairfield was immediately after the division of Northampton in 1807, changed to that of Parma. But, the rivalries persisted. Very soon after the separation of Par- ma from Northampton, a fierce rivalry sprang wp between the people in the northern end and the southern portions of the town, an antagonism which was BY SHIRLEY C, HUSTED never allayed until it culminated in a permanent separation. At every town meeting, it manifested in the pew'n- acity with which each party supported its local interests, and by every strategy possible, each labored to promote the success of its candidates. Their nearly balanced strength only increased the intensity of the conflict, and akernate defeat and victory called into exercise every pos- sible strategy ,and every avail- able resource. The same inconvendence was - felt that existed under the old organization -- the want of com- potent men who could legally hold office, as none but free- holders (propenty owners) could run, and many pioneers were thus not qualified, as they did not yet own the land on which they resided, Since none but freeholders were qualified and popularity was also an essential elemert in such a controversy, the best candidates were often unqualified, To obviate this, temporary deeds were occasion- ally executed, good until after election -- which supplied the requirements of the Jaw, and bridged over a difficulty which might otherwise have neutraliz- ed a victory, or, still worse, led to defeat. The play for power, for roads, bridges, schools, etc. in each ar- ea, continued unabated until the year 1817, when, dissatisfied be- cause not enough of its local candidates were elected, the south end aplk away, and, by vote of the fresholders in that area, the town of Ogden was boro. Ten years of rapid in- creass in settlements and im- provements had brought a riv- ary so fierce that a division was «desired - the northern division On December 8, 1807, when the great town of Northampton was divided, today's Ogden and the present town of Parma were set apart from the former terri- tory of Northampton, designated as one organization known a the as one organization known as the town of Parma, After nearly ten years of rapid increase in its settlements and improvements, a fierce local contest had sprung up between the northern and southern sections for the town officers. So fierce was the riv= alry that, by the votes of the fresholders, a division was fected - the northern division to retain the old name, and the southern division to be organ- ized as the town of Ogden, in honor of William Ogden, son-in- law of John Murray, The dividing line was first established in the center of the Rkige Road, but soon after i was changed to the Hine be- tween the townsiip and the Gore at its present position (Ogden- Parma Town Line Road), since which time it has remained uft- changed. The division was s- fecied at a special meeting on January 27, 1817, and the organ- iration of the new town at a- regular town meeting held on the first day of April following, at the house of George Huntley, where the votes were taken by John P. Patterson, Esq., which resulted in the election of the following-named officers, viz Supervisor, John P. Patterson; Town Clerk, Abraham Colby; Collector and Constable, Ben- jamin Simons; ~Pound-master, George W. Willey; Assessors, George W. Willey, John D. Web- ster, William B.
