IT\8 1888 but Eugene and Dorothy Collins, legs than 50 miles from Buf- falo, live like the pioneers who settled Western New York during the early 1800s. Their life lacks the glamour and the adventure described in dime store novels about pioneer living. But like the early settlers, the Col- lins' have no {ndoor ruaning water, no sewer, no Water lines and no gas lines They use asmall, wood- stove to best their deteriorating home, covered with a tarpaper roof and riddled with holes. The prob of the Collins family are extremg not unlike the living conditions of many families through- out rural Western New York, accord- ing to a qurvey by the Courier Express In a cloge Jook at Chautauqua, Cat- taraugus gnd ADegany Counties, the Courier-Eigpress found deteriorating housing. sewer and water lines, eco- nomic stagnation and the flight of young people. AB these conditions ap- pear to be threatening the clean and peaceful life of rural Western New York.

A study by the U.S. General Ac- counting Office (GAO), the investiga- tive arm of Congress, showed that ru- ral areas nationally have one-half of all substandard housing, although they contained only one-third of the population. Despite these problems, rural areas received anly one-fifth of federal housing assistance, the GAO report showed. The Collins family is a good exam- ple of problems confronting rural areas throughout the country and especially Western New York. The Collins' begin their day by hauling water in buckets from a well several miles away. Some of it goes immediately to the tollet, which Dushes only with a pail or two poured down its throat. Then with a loud swoosh, the toliet empties. THERE ARE NO sanitary sewer mains along Bebee Road, the site of the Collins home, in an unincorporat- ed area just outside Silver Creek. N6 matter. The Collins' can't use their bathroom year-round anyway. It freezes up in winter. Not that the Col- lins don't have heat. They Just lose much of it through a tarpaper roof, missing walls and boles in their wood- en-frame house Nonetheless, the Colling' try hard to keep their house warm. There are no gas lines put on Bebee Road but the bouse has a small, wood-burning stove in the living room.

RUBAL SLUMS APPEAR Continued on Page B6 \ Arne on wwfi smmuB Easy Readmg Sunday, August 31, 1980 penname Senate Candldates _ Wed to Image, for Better or Worse By RAYHERMAN press Political Weiter Cpuriacdx; 'The six New quk State candidates for a U.S. Senate seat - four Democrats and two Republicans - can't shed their campaign images ' anymore than one'can shed a birthmark. This was strikingly apparent here last week during two Courler- sponsored televised debates. The one last Wednesday involved the Demo- crat - cons er activist Beas Myer- son, Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, former New York Mayor John V. Lindsay and Queens District Attorney John J Santucel. Saturday's debate pitted Sen. Jacob K. Javits and Alfonse M. D'Amato, the presiding supervisor of * the Town of Hempstead, Lorg Island. In their bids for their respective party nominations in the Sept. 9 pri- magglegm glx have been leave~nostoue~unturued cam- paigns for go long that they have be- come prisoners of their own images. Traveling on the tlm&honored as- sumption that folks are more Inclined \'to vote against\ a candidate rather . than \for\ a candidate, it might be ' useful to examine some of the per- ceived negatives attending the image of each Senate candidate. 4 Terms in House HOLTZMAN - The 38-year-old, four-term congresswoman from Brooklyn has apparently been caught up in the post-Watergate zealotry. She rightly pointed out both here and else- where that she hammered Richard Nixon as a member of the House Judl- clary Committeg, threw high, hard ones at Gerald Ford over the Nixon radon. land exposed fraud In summer ood programs for children which led. to 17 criminal convictions. However, by wrapping herself in nobility, Miss Holtzman, a hard-work- ing political independent, occasional ly comes across as self righteous -- an abrasive loner who is {declogically rigid, a public figure who demands a high degree of liberal ideological pu- rity. Indeed, ber. t intraparty ri- val, Miss son, continually im- puss that fiercely Independent ltzman is Incapable of cutting w ae oF ber home & R Trying Too Hard ERSON -- The former MI\ America, who is 55. ll mu & IV handsome, has a bi most of the Important endorsements - Gav. Hugh L. Carey, Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan and New York Mayor Ed; ward Koch. At times, however, sho seerga to try too hard to bury her beauty queen past. As if to demonstrate that shg'g intelligent too, she recites great pral- ries of figures to show that New York is being gypped in federal ald for- mulas. Accordingly, her speeches are inclined to be bloodless. Although she is a person of accom plishment in several fields, she fre- quently comes across like a packaged candidate who doesn't want to rock any boats in the apparent belief she's ahead. Miss Myerson's official campaign GD unulvsis biography notes \her ability to ad- vance her beliefs and build coalitions within groups with such wide-ranging thterest in one or Bess Myerson's greatest assets . For all her beauty and charm, ho- wever, Miss Myerson's fence-mending rhetoric at times produces a candi- date who is as bland as a mashed potato sandwich. Is His Time Past? LINDSAY - The former mayor and congressman, who is 58, used the same phrase at least a half - dozen times during the Courier-Express de- bate -- ''I've been there.\ While the other candidates talk about federal revenue sharing, crime in the streets and various Russian in- terventions, Lindsay says \I've been there.\ This is to underscore his wid- er and longer governmental service. However, every time Lindsay in- vokes his mayoral days, he reminds voters that he was frequently por- trayed in the late '60s and early 'T0s as a man who could not deal with the hard substance of government. The \I've been there\ bit also has a sort'ol tired, world-weary ring to it. And when the liberal Lindsay, a former Republican, said here that the \Republican Party moved away from Jack Javits as it did me years ago,\ it had an almost wistful, nostalgic quality as if Lindsay were living in an earlier political age. In many ways, the Lindsay image suggests that the parade may have already passed him by. SANTUCCI - The 42-year-old DA is the candidate of the hard-pressed middle classes. However, in making hig points, Santucci is inclined to be sweeping and unselective in his assaults, \A large-portion of the population is being written off by government - the middle class,\ he asserted here. In his pitch for the blue-collar vote, Santuce!, in street-hardened tones, simplifies everything which may, in part, result from the time constraints of television debates. Much of his rhetoric, however, does not seem to hold up well under close examination. D'AMATO -- The presiding super- visor, 43, has a real instinct for the jugular. As the result of his aggres- sive behavior, however, some voters may view him as simply a sassy bun- dle of ambition. Additionally, When he raises the is- sues of Javite' age (76) and Javits' nerve disease (motor neuron), there are some who feel be is indulging in CANDIDATES Continued on Page B-3 courer ress rw on' an Pro-abertion group protests Senate candidate's acceptance of 'Right to Life Party' endorsement .. prior to debate by candidates at Courier-Express Pro-Abortionists Picket at C-E About 20 members of the Coalition for Aborticn flights and Against Ste riization Abuse (CARASA) picketed in frout of the main entrance of the Courler-Express building on Main Street Saturday morning spokeswoman Lagra Grobe. was Repoblican senate rial bopeful AHoose M D'Amato, who has accepted the endorsement of the mhflwmufim He is also the Conser Party candi date.
