Y.—W*dw*y, Autwt M, \71 Good News Camp County Times Photo The Sanders family is pictured above. Left to right are Harry, with Magic, Mrs. Ruth Sanders; H. Edward Sanders, Mary Alice, with Shadow. In the foreground are Button Nose, the rabbit and Poky, the turtle Animals are used in horsemanship and nature courses. Good News Camp, located on Genesee Road just North of Arcade, has had one of its most successful years. Six-hundred and nine children, who might otherwise never have had the fun and advantages of summer camping, were hosted by the camp between July 5 and August 21. Merit badges in carpentry, music, horsemanship, archery, swimming, nature study, crafts and other subjects are given to children between the ages of six and 14 Boys and girls of all races, colors and creeds are welcomed. After age 14 many of the former campers return as counsellors-in-training, counsellors and camp workers - all on a volunteer basis. The Variety Club of Buffalo sponsors retarded children, through the Rehabilitation Center, Catholic Charities has paid for a numher of the campers and one Bul'ialonian, who wishes to remain anonymous sponsored 25 children from the inner-city The camp is located on property formerly owned by Fran Striker, author of \The Lone Ranger.\ Warning To the hooligans who greased sections of the track on the Arcade and Attica R.R. right-of-way last Sunday, think of the number of kids whose pleasure you spoiled. If you don't care about that, remember that your action is illegal and punishable by law. Ed Lewis, general manager of the Arcade and Attica says that in previous years similar practical jokers have been apprehended and, in at least one case, jailed and then put on probation. We wish to extend our congratulations to the Rev. H. Edward Sanders and his all-volunteer staff for a most worthy job very well done. Steer Damages Car And Vice Versa Ellis G. Kiethmflier, 55, of 15 Maple Ave., Franklinville, escaped injury when his car struck a Black Angus steer on Route 16 just south of Machias early last Friday morning. The accident occurred in front of the farm of Wallace Lund, owner of the animal, which was one of 15 beef cattle which had escaped from a pasture State Troopers stated that the steer was struck broadside, knocking both headlights out of commission. Mr Riethmiller said that, jolted and confused by the impact, he continued driving without lights for about a fifth of a mile The cattle reached the highway from their pasture through two open barn doors Mr. Riethmiller said he noticed several animals on and next to the road, but failed to see the Black Angus among several white-faced Herefords. The animal was too badly injured to be saved. Delevan Fanner Loses Cows During Storm Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Fisher of Worden Road, Delevan had the misfortune to have five cows struck and killed by lightning during a severe thunder storm about 4 pjn. last Wednesday. Mr. Fisher discovered the dead animaU when he went to the pasture to bring the herd in for milking. Pioneer Elementary Buildings Receive Capacity Ratings The September, 1970 enrollment at Pioneer Central is expected to exceed the new capacity ratings of the district's buildings. The magic number is 3357 for capacity, yet 3425 are expected. When the Arcade and Delevan buildings became K-6, new capacities had to be determined The Division of Educational Facilities Planning of the State Education Department rated the three elementary buildings July 21. The ratings are Delevan, 742 (expected-750), Arcade, 843 (expected-940), Sardinia, 55 (expected-135). The Yorkshire building has a capacity rating of 1717 students (1600 expected) Comments by Frank McCue of the State Education Department on the elementary buildings follow \Delevan Built in 1957-58 is in generally excellent condition Maintenance and upkeep are very good. \Arcade Built in 1927 with additions in 1939 and 1953, needs some rehabilitation, including enlargement of the cafeteria Maintenance and housekeeping are excellent for a building this age \Sardinia.

Banks and loan agencies having to make a full disclosure of all charges being made on loans was a real benefit to the borrower Because you were backing these laws, it was a great shock when I read Public Law 91-258 91st Congress H.R. 14465 dated May 21, 1970. Section 7275 of this law deals with airline ticketing and it states, in essence, that \A\ The amount charged for transportation and \B\ The taxes theron (in the amount of 8% of the total transportation charged) must not be shown separately but Suffers Broken Back Marshall H. Berger of 309 Warwick St., Buffalo lost control of his late model Chevrolet about 6 pjn. on the 22nd. The car skidded over 100 feet on the right shoulder of Route 70 near Bennington, then veered across the road, skidding 400 feet on the left shoulder and coming to rest against a State owned building beside the highway. He was taken to St Jerome's Hospital in Batavia in critical condition with a broken back and internal injuries. The accident was investigated by Deputy Spink of the Wyoming County Sheriffs Department. must be shown as a total of the two only To show the tax separately is a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine of up to S100 per occurrence Mr President, this is so obviously an attempt to hide the tax and thus mislead the public that I believe it cheapens the image of our government. It makes it seem that it is afraid to let us know how much we are being taxed and for what purposes. If the tax is a fair one, and the government needs the money for legitimate purposes, it should be willing to let us see the amounts we are paying. Won't you please take action to have this law amended? Thank you. Very sincerely, H Leibee Wheeler Publisher Tri-County Times Note to our readers. If you feel as I do, write Mr Nixon or your Senator or Congressman and let them know how you feel Removes Tree And Pole About 4 a.m. Saturday Mayor Bob Thomas and his neighbors on Water St. were awakened by a tremendous crash. A car driven by Donna Patke, 21, of 37 Water St., Arcade, had skidded 616 feet, jumped the curb, knocked down a tree in the mayor's front lawn and ended up by severing an electric pole, knocking out electric service to the area By a miracle, Miss Patke and her three passengers, David Dunmeyer of Midwav Trailer (Continued on jiagr luo/ Avoids Head-On Nelson Shisler, Arcade Highway Superintendent and his family had a close call with death about 1*10 a.m. on the 21st.
