Jesse Mertel, an eighth grade - English feacher who has been with the school for two years, said her resignation, which takes effect June 30, 1972, was sub- *mitted Feb. 8. Her resignation followed an altercation she had on Feb 4 with an 18 year old student at the school who has been charged with third degree assault. The student, Mary Ann Tillman, of Carlton, was released on $200 bail Friday night after ' appearing before Albion Village Justice Harmon Ries. She is scheduled to appear againFeb. 28. . Montreal Strike MONTREAL (UPI) - Res- - *idents of this city, faced with * 9.5 inches of snow and a' strike by snow-removal crews, moved * over and through waist-deep drifts today by means of skis, snowshoes, snowmobiles and even home-drawn sleighs. Lacking Mrs. Mertel said the incident earlier this month was fin example of the failure of the school admrmstratlon to support its teaching staff i m disciplinary matters. She said her resignation was the culmination of a long series of incidents dating back to the 1971 school year. \Part of the problem,\. Mrs. Mertel told the Journal-Register, \is that the teachers are not being backed up by. those responsible for disciplinary enforcement.\ The student disciplinary code was put into effect for this school year, Mrs. Mertel said, and spelled out the specific grounds for suspension from the school. She said it had also been well publicized. Several times during the year, however, disciplinary reports had been made out by teachers but the administration had not enforced the penalties, she said. The end result, she said, was that students were doing pretty much as they pleased. Mrs. Mertel said she would appear before the Board of Education March 13 to air her grievances. \I just- want to let them know what's really know,\ she said. © JO Servmg The Lake Plains Country—Orleans.

'Option' Program Aimed At Senior Citizens ALBION - Volunteers by the score will be needed when a new program aimed at catering to the - needs of senior citizens in ~ Orleans County gets underway here April 1. Gary Breuilly, administrator of the county infirmary, said the . new program known as \OP- ~ bankers to TION\ is' designed initially to provide senior citizens with an information and counseling -center. . Later, Breuilly said, the program may expand its operation into other areas in order to provide senior citizens with services not otherwise. available. | - OPTION, which stands for Other People Taking an Interest in Older Neighbors, will be a purely voluntary effort when it first gets started, Breuilly said. \The program,\ Breuilly stated, \will deal with any problems or questions senior citizens have about social security, about making ends meet on a small budget, how to evaluate savings, how to live on a fixed income. *Senior citizens will be able to find out what the options are in institutional care,\ Breuilly said, \about whether or not they qualify for Medicaid. We'll be able to set up appointments for them' with the Social Services Department. ~- \At the same time,\ Breuilly said, \senior citizens who are just plam lonely will be able to call up and talk to some of our volunteers or get the names of people who can be called. \This will be a broad-based * volunteer organization,\ Breuilly continued. \We want to see if we can get merchants to give senior citizens a discount on their purchases, if we can get ive one night of their time each month to staff our organization, if we can get the Jaycees to paint a porch every now and then. \The one thing we're not going to do,\ Breuilly said, \is to Deaths BRASKY, MRS. BEATRICE HERBERT MORGAN, RAYMOND C. cramp anybody's style, This is something we want to be com- fortable for everyone involved -- senior citizens and volunteers alike.\ The ..other aspect to the program, Breuilly said, is to find out just what senior citizens really need in the way of ser- vices. _. 20 , \This program,\ Breuilly said, 'will act as a base from which we will actually be able to find out what senior citizens feel they need -- not what we think they need. \'We'll be able to find out through this program, for example, whether there really is a need for a 'meal-on-wheels' program,\ Breuilly said. \We'll only go as far. as we are needed,\ Breuilly said. \If we find that referral services are really all that senior citizens need in the county, then we'll stop right there. But if we determine there are other needs, the program will branch out.\ Breuilly said that as the program expands, if indeed that is what happens, it will even- tually begin to fit or qualify within various state and federal criteria for assrstance to needy persons. Funds could be obtamed for example, through provisions in the federal Social Services Law (Sec. 370 and 207) for information referral services. Under state law, funds could be obtained for a program which provides counseling services and, after the first year, expands to group activities and hot meals. Breuilly, in a pfiogram which has gotten to this stage in its development, would, amount to about 12.5 p.c. of the cost, with the rest being picked up by the state and federal agencies. \But the important point to remember,\ Breuilly stressed, \is that OPTION is not going to cost anybody any money -- not one red cent, not a dime. It will be a volunteer effort and it's something which is badly needed.\ Breuilly also sees the program 1s a long range solution to rising Medicaid costs in the county. Just last week he and Social Services Commissioner Arthur The county share, according to Nenni returned from Albany where they, found that a provision in the Medicaid law allowing \free choice\ of facility by a recipient of care cannot be eliminated. Nenni argued recently before the Board of Supervisors that this provision means that the county foots a higher expense for medical care than when recipients are at the county facility. Breuilly said OPTION mlght offer a program to attack rising costs through preventative care. ''People can get ill from things like depression and poor nutrition and we'll help keep costs down by stopping such things before they begin,\ he said. Breuilly said there are four basic levels of health care, acute care in hospitals, extended care in the county facility (96 beds) or each village hospital (30 beds each), health related care, for which the county has 37 beds at its facility, and finally, adult boarding homes. Breuilly said, \compare the number of beds with these figures: over the last ten-year period, the death rate in the county facility on an average was 39 per year. Meanwhile, the occupancy rate averaged at 100 patients. \In 1971,\ Breuilly said, \the oecupancy 'rate was 111. In July of 1971, we had 117, in August, 124, in September, 126, in Oc- tober, 129, in November, 129 and 'in December, 129. ' \Now instead of having 39 deaths in 1971, we had 29,\ Breuilly said, \So here we are with a situation where the census has gone up by about one-third, and yet the death rate has gone down by about one-third. I think you can see we've got a - problem \ \OPTION may not be able to solve some of our problems,\ Breuilly said. \I'm hopeful that if we can get enough people in- terested in the program-as a purely, voluntary effort, we can really do something worflxwhfle, something that will not only help senior citizens, but will help the county solve one of its biggest financial burdens.\ | Storm's Fury Beco -(J-R Pho| 0s) eS Snow-Country Beauty Medina and vicinity, along with most of W.N.Y. saw icy fury Saturday night turn into a frigid winter wonderland on a sunny Sunday. Most people spent the day digging out from eight to 12 inches of highly drift- ed snow, piled up by 30 to 50 mph winds during the previous night. Snowplow crews worked long - and hard, but Sunday the snow subsided and winds gradually reduced their intensity. Because of the lack of unnecessary driv- ing, there were few accidents in the village. Today streets started out very, slick, but sun during the morning and milder temperatures tended to melt some of the highway accumula- tion. Medina police reported no ser- ious vehicular trouble. They did report that about a dozen Water- port boy scouts were camping near Medina Conservation Club on Bates Rd. and were strand- ed by the blizzard. Stephen Champlin of the Conservation Club opened the clubhouse and brought food so that they could stay there until able to return home. 'It was a \big blast\ in what has been an extremely mild win- ter her. All manner of snowmo- bile equipment, plus plows and snowblowers were in full usage yesterday, and children joyed in climbing the high banks of white stuff. The Orleans County Highway Department reported that road conditions were good as of this noon in most parts of the county with more sanding expected to continue this afternoon. Winds are down to around two miles per hour, although they were expected to increase this afternoon to around 10 mph out of the southwest.

Snowmobile Mishap - A 19 year old Lyndonville man and a 28 year old Shelby woman were injured Saturday night in a snowmobile accident one quarter mile west of Morrison Rd. on the Lake Shore Rd. in the Town of Yates. The Orleans County Sheriff's Department said Audrey Brigham, 5086 Hellert Rd. Shelby, sustained an injury to her right knee and was taken to Medina Memorial Hospitpl. ' She was a passenger on a snowmobile driven by Dean Brrgliam 31, also of Hellert Rd. in Shelby, was injured when they collided with a 'snowmobile, driven by Randy Heideman, 23 Railroad Rd., Lyndonville. Heideman was treated at Medina Memorial for injuries to his left arm, leg and side. _ Sheriff's deputies said the Brigham snowmobile was traveling east on the Lake Shore Rd. when it collided with the Heideman snowmobile which had 'been traveling. west. Both operators turned to avoid the collision in the same direction. The Sheriff's Department also reported a fire in a 12x50 foot trailer completely destroyed the home of Mark S. Moody, County Line Trailer Park, 52 Newport Drive, Brockport in Orleans County. Sheriff's deputies said the Holley, Hulberton and Fancher fire departments responded to the blaze of unknown origin. The occupants of the trailer were not at home at the time of the blaze. No estimate on damage was reported. Two one car accidents Saturday with no personal injuries reported took place in the Town of Gaines and the Town of Murray. Vincent J. Stucko, Jr., 214 Catherine St., Medina, lost control ofhis car due to poor road conditions on Route 31, west of Hulberton Rd., Murray, went over the right side of an em- bankment as he was traveling east, and rolled over.

Calls for Peace Goal \By HELEN THOMAS PEKING (UPI) - President Nixon in a whirlwind first day in- China today met for the first time with Chairman Mao Tse- tung and talked three times with Premier Chou En-lai who publicly declared willingness to seek normalization of relations' between the United States and China. - | Nixon's first day in the ancient city of Peking was climaxed by a gala banquet at which the President and his wife deftly wielded chopsticks. An ensemble of Chinese musi- cians struck up for them the old-fashioned American tunes in the Straw\ and 'Home on the Range\ as well as more serious pieces. In a welcoming toast to Nixon before the 500 banquet guests in Peking's Great Hall of the People, Chou said the Pres- ident's visit meant that \the gate to friendly contacts has been opened.\ \And it has become a strong desire of the Chinese and American peoples,\ the Chinese leader said, \to move to promote normahzatlon of rela- tions between the two countries and work for the relaxation of tensions.\ | Formal Toasts In response, Nixon told the audience that included baggage handlers as well as dignitaries: Let us, in these next five days, start a long 'march together, not in lock: step, different roads leading to the same goal-the goal of building a world structure of peace and justice in which all may stand together with equal dignity and - in which each nation, large or small, has a right to determine its own form of government see of outsrde interference or omination.\ (The \normalization of rela- tions'' of which Chou spoke would usually be expected to mean establishment of full _ diplomatic relations. It was not - clear whether Chou really hoped to go that far now.) The formal toasts marked the first public statements by the President and the premier since Nixon's arrival at Peking - airport at 11:28 a.m. on a sunny but winter chill morning. The greeting ceremony at the airport, led by Chou, «was courteous but low-keyed. There were no throngs assembled either on the 18-mile route into Peking nor on the streets of the city as Nixon was driven to his living quarters. Private Meetmg His motorcade went almost unnoticed by passers-by and cyclists pedaling on the broad avenues. Nixon's one-hour private meeting with Mao, the 78-year- old chief of the Communist Party in China, also was attended by Chou. It was a surprise, at least to American It had been expected the two would meet Tuesday. But without advance notice, Nixon.and his foreign affairs adviser, Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, were driven to Mao's home to confer with the power- ful chairman, and Chou. No details of the talks were forthcoming. An American spokesman merely said they had a \frank discussion.\ - 'Nixon also talked with Chou for 25 minutes after the 18-mile drive from the airport, then: held another formal discussion at the massive Great Hall of the People before the banquet. Peking Duck The personal atmosphere between the Americans and Chinese noticeably thawed at the banquet which featured 30 items of elassic Chinese cui- sine, including Peking duck. Chou, wearing a black Mao jacket and matching slacks, conducted a smiling, affable conversation with Nixon and his wife before going to the rostrum to deliver his toast. * He declared that differences of ideology between the two countries \could hinder China and the United States on establishing normal state rela- tions on the basis of the five principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial inte- grity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other interal affairs, equality | and but on > , mutual benefits and peaceful coexistence.\ il} less should they lead to prepared text as did Chou, also ackno ledged dlfferences of the. other.

He posed for: ctures - with - visiting American newsmen and mem- bers of the White. House staff before the dinner began. When the band turned from its traditional Chinese music to play \Turkey in the Straw\ and \Home on 'the Range,\ he- jantily (began tapping his foot in time t th} Western airs. = 'Spirit of Frankness' Elgh hours after his arrival in Peking for the historic talks, Nixon summarized his hopes of the m ss1on in these words of \In the spirit. of frankness which I hope will characterize our talks this week, let us recognize -at the outset these points: We have at times in 'the past been enemies. We have great . differences today. What brings us together is that we have common interests which transcend those differences. \As. we discuss those differ- ences, néither of 'us . will compromxse our principles. But while we cannot close the gulf - between us, we can try to bridge it so that we may be ° able to talk across it.\ Nixon said: peoples to rise to the heights of greatness which can build a new and better world. And in that spirit, :I ask all of you present to join me in raising your glasses to Chairman Mac, Prime Minster Chou and to friendship of the Chinese and American people which - can lead to friendship of all the people in the world.\ In lighter vein, the President- praised the music played by a large Chinese ensemble which at one point rendered \Home on the Range\ and struck up \America the Beautiful\ follow- ing Nixon's statement. Nixon was met by a 360-man military contingent and went down the line shaking hands. A- band played \The Star Span- gled Banner\ and China's anthem, \March of the Volun- teers.\ Airport is Quiet The huge Peking airport was eerily quiet during the brief greetings between the two leaders. No large crowd greeted the Presidertt at the start of his one-week visit which may revise the. power bloc politics that have shaped the world's course since World War II and since China, the world's most populo'us nation, embraced communism.
