Slow Me Down, Lord! Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind. Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time. Give me, amid the confusion of the day, the calmness of the everlasting hills. Break the tension of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of the singing streams that live in my memory. Help me to know the magical, restoring power of sleep. j Teach me the art of taking . minute vacations-of slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog, to read a few lines from a good book. Slow me down, Lord, and inspire. me to send my roots deep into the soil of life's enduring values that | may grow toward the stars of my greater destiny. -ANONYMOUS HE JO Serving The Lake Plains Country—Orleans.

ALBANY, (UPI)-State Sen. James H Donovan R- Chadwicks, Thursday proposed legislation requiring all state lawmakers to serve full time, giving up other professional and business interests. '\New York State needs and demands a full time serving legislature to deal with these full time problems,\ Donovan said. \The scope of the prob- lems which confront this state is superceded only by that of the federal government.\ Donovan said he suspended all his outside business activi- ties two years ago to devote - \full time service\ to his legis- lative duties. Donovan has served in the legislature since 1965, and was the manager of a private con- tracting business prior to giv- ing up his job two years ago. Sat. Banking To Concern C It is understood that a resolu- tion will be presented to the Me- dina Chamber of Commerce at their meeting on Thursday, March 9, requesting that the Marine Midland Bank-Western branch in Medina extend the same services that it is now granting at Albion to remain open on Saturday mornings. Presently the Marine Midland Bank-Western has adopted a pol- icy of opening several of their branches in the Buffalo area on Saturday morning as most of the other commercial banks do. The advent of the Liberty Na- tional Bank in Albion which es- tablished a policy of Saturday morning 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. apparently sparked the Albion Branch of Marine Western to adopt the same Saturday hours. A member of the Chamber of Commerce today noted that in Medina the Marine should it not want to open its Main Street branch, could well observe Sat- urday morning hours at its drive-in station on East Center Street. At the March meeting the chamber will also be making _ nomination of directors and offi- cers to be elected at the annual No Injuries In 2 Car Pile Up - At approximately 8:50 p.m. last night a two car accident occurred on East Center St. involving a vehicle driven by Richard P. Fox, 21, of 1120 S. Main ° St. and one driven by William L. Olinger, 19, of Howell Parkway, Medina. Both parties refused to give statements, -but © witnesses claimed that the pickup truck driven by Mr. Olinger was parked facing east on the north side of the street and that he pulled out directly in front of the car driven by Mr. Fox, which was travelling east on East Center St. There were no injuries, but considerable damage to the vehicle driven by Mr. Fox and only slight damage to the pickup truck. hamber meeting in March. President Jack Botsford also asserts that the, enrollment for Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans is still open through the Chamber group. Presently there are 40 who have applied for this medi- eal service. Those who wish to join must have their applicants with the Chamber by March 15 for benefits which will start on May 1, 1972. Speaker for the March meet- ing will be Richard Kennedy of HUD who will talk on the Me- dina urban renewal project. Prisoner Wrecks Cell ALBION-A cell in the Albion Village Police Station was ex- tensively damaged early yesterday morning after an Albion man who police say earlier cornered them with a gun was locked up. Police said that Richard Grimm, 36, of 128 South Clinton St., wrecked the interior of one jail cell when he tore off plum- bing fixtures and, using heavy wooden bunk supports, bent a bar in the cell. According to the police, Of- ficers Ronald Gilbert and An- drew Eibl had been called to the S. Clinton St. address to in- vestigate a report that a Barbara Strebbs had been \beaten up'' by Grimm. When they went outside the house to look for Grimm, police said, he allegedly cornered them with a semi-automatic 22 calibre rifle and told them to get off the property. In the report filed by the of- ficers, police were able to subdue him after a brief scuffle. They said they subsequently found that an ammunition clip in the rifle was in backwards. Police said Grimm was taken to the State Hospital in Rochester for observation after he had been locked up. No charges have been pressed against him as yet, police said. MEDINA NEW YORK FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1972 | Probe Into Settlemen Mitchell Testifying: Before Senate Comm. ICE COUNTRY - For the second straight day freezing rains have covered the area under a blanket of ice. The weatherman has predicted snow and colder weather for the weekend. More snow pictures are on the back page of today's edition. —(J-R Photo) 911 System Bemg Studied ALBION - If the opinion of the supervisor for the Town of Albion can be taken as any indication of sentiment on the Orleans County Board of Supervisors, it doesn't look as though this county will be in for a \911\ emergency telephone number. During the board's morning session yesterday, Supy. Maynard Reed commented on a report submitted by the County Planning Board concerning the feasibility of installing such an emergency system in the county. Referring to asection of the report on costs, Supv. Reed said, \I'd be completely against it -- at $50,000 to $60,000 extra. Today, when you start talking $50,000 to $60,000. .., well, it's pretty tight right now.\ The report, submitted by Raymond Pahura of the planning board and a planning technician, Steve Miller, was referred to the Public Safety Committee of the board. Pahura wanted it made clear the planning board was not making any strong recom- mendation either for or against the \911\ number. He em- phasized the report was made so the board would have something upon which to base a decision. The Town of Albion was also involved in two other matters yesterday, which came up on the board's agenda. A final agreement between the county and the town will be 'drawn up by the county attorney in order to allow Albion to use the Orleans County Highway Dept. garage on West Academy Street for the consolidation of its six voting booths. The board also agreed to refund $266.96 to Arthur Waterstreet of Albion as its share in a total $449.32 refund in ac- cordance with a decision handed down Feb. 10, 1972 by the New York State Supreme Court on the man's assessment for the past year which the court said had been incorrect. Waterstreet, who will receive $202.15 from the Town of Albion as their share, had contended his wholesale and retail production of tomatoes and other plants constituted a \farm\ business, while the assessor classified it as DuVall, Bellavia Head United Fund Activities Harold F. DuVall was elected president of the Western Orleans United Fund at the organization meeting of its board of directors. Dr. William Bellavia, a local dentist, has been previously announced - as - campaign chairman for the 1973 U.F. drive to be held in the fall of this year. Mr. DuVall, who is employed with Abex Corp here in an engineering capacity, will 'be assisted in administrative work by Donald Scheu as vice president; Mrs. Joe R. Brun- dage, secretary, and Kenneth Sylvester, treasurer. Committees named by DuVall include the following: An executive committee made up of the officers, the campaign director and Robert Kennedy. A budget and admissions committee headed by Norris L. Webster and including Dr. Bellavia, Charles Slack, Donald Scheu and Kenneth Sylvester». This group will give their report May 25 on agencies to be served by the 1973 U.F. and the goal to be set. Also, a finance committee with Michael Murray as chairman, aided by Mrs. Brundage and Joseph Szczechowiak. During the 1972 campaign the goal was $57,000 to support 11 agencies and Paul Parsons was campaign director,. The local gifts and pledges totaled $53,387 and the \turn-back\ money from other united funds in cities where local people work amounted to $6,180. This made the drive a success. The Western Orleans U.F., in turn, sent $1,410 to other area united funds representing money withheld at places of em- ployment here for people living elsewhere. Campaign directors over the years and their goals since the beginning of the Western Orleans U.F. have been: Sanford Brinsmaid in 1964, $40,469; Allen Perrez Jr. in 1965, $44,885; Harrison Haag in 1966, $47,793; Donald Clark in 1967, $48,983; John Thompson in 1968, $43,995; Henry Pawlak in 1969, $46,985; Thurston Dale in 1970, $48,836; Delwyn Kegley in 1971, $51,000, and Paul Parsons in 1972, $57,000. A drop in the level of the goal occurred when Medina Memorial Hospital held its building campaign and dropped out as a United Fund member agency. During the 1972 campaign just ended a few months ago, the cor rate division raised $9,190 er John Thompson, the speclal advance division raised $14,655 under Van Hungerford and Sanford Brinsmaid, the. industrial division raised $17,373 under Donald Scheu, the public service division raised $5,938 under William Leo, the com- mercial division raised $4,813 under Mrs. Leona Muchow, and the residential division raised $1,407 under Dr. Bellavia and conducted by youth groups. The Rochester and Monroe County U.F. send $6,180 to the local united appeal for money from payroll deduction. The analysis of the Western Orleans United Fund for 1972 shows the average per capita contribution based on total area population to be only $3.64. « a \greenhouse\ business, with a higher assessment. The board also heard a report from Sheriff John Williams who predicted <the new county jail would be completed by June 1. Williams said the only major remaining p1ece of equipment to be installed in the jail is a huge, communications console which can not be moved in until the other building is completed. Williams said the new jail has a total of 56 cells, with 14 in each of the four cell blocks. He said speculation the county might be able to accept prisioners from other regions was unjustified, as the number of different classifications for inmates required by law prohibits jailing them all in cell after cell. The Sheriff said, for example, there are 14 different segregations: men and women, under 21 and over 21 men and women, sentenced and un- sentenced over and under 21 men and women etc. The result, he said, is that the prisoners can not always be placed in near proximity. The board authorized County Highway Superintendent Henry Hannon to advertise for a heavy duty truck tandem cab and chassis which may replace one of the department's trucks involved in an accident on Feb. 22. A revised contract for county office space in the Albion In- dustrial Center on Platt Street was approved, increased the amount of floor space from the former 9,000 square feet to 9,902 sq. ft., and upping the rental from $24,750 per year for the first five years to $27,230.50. If the county renews the lease for the next five years, the rental per year will go to $7,426.50 (it was at $6,750). An additional psychiatrist, Dr. Kashinath B. Patil of Rochester, will be hired at $25 an hour one day a week as a follow to the appointment recently of another psychiatrist to temporarily replace Dr. Guy Walters of the Mental Health Dept. who was injured some time ago in an automobile accident. The other psychiatrist notified the board he would only be able to work one day a week instead of two as originally anticipated. The board also approved the purchase of a collator in the office of the election com- missioner which has been in use on a trial basis for several weeks. In: other business, Kendall Supervisor Michael 'Paduchak proposed a resolution urging the Genesee Park Commission to open its 'Lakeside Park for campers earlier than June 27 which Paduchak said was the date he understood the park would be opened. Paduchak argued the financial benefits to the area would far outweigh possible savings to the state. Paduchak said a Memorial Day opening would be better. Another supervisor, Thomas DePalma from Murray, proposed a resolution which, like the other, was approved by the board, to be sent to the State Public Service Commission demanding the Penn Central Railroad clean all their railroad crossings of accumulated snow and ice. DePalma cited several per- sonal instances in which he said near fatalities had occurred because the corssings had not been cleaned. The board's election com- mittee received a proposal for the appointment of Malcolm G. Johnson to be an instructor of voting machine custodians to join an earlier appointment of Edwin Foster at a yearly salary of $1,200. During the session which was attended by Orleans County Democratic Chairman William Monacelli in his capacity as an election commissioner, the board heard him say the request for Johnson's appointment was unjustified. ''Maleolm Monacelli alleged, \doesn't know a voting machine from an adding machine. I don't know how he could instruct anyone.\ IRA Wing Declares 4-Day Cease Fire By COLIN BAKER BELFAST, Northern Ireland (UPI) -The militant \provi- sional\ wing of the outlawed Irish Republican Army (IRA) declared a four-day cease-fire today in a Roman Catholic section of Londonderry often torn by sectarian violence. Ahandbill posted on lamp posts and walls in the Bogside area said there were to be \no incidents or riots until March 6 by order of the provisional IRA, Derry - (Londonderry) - com- mand.\ A British army spokesman said Thursday \has indeed been the quietest day we've had here in Derry for months.\ He said army demolition experts de- fused a “hxghly sophisticated bomb\ earlier in the evening. But Bogside residents said the bomb may have been the work of the IRA's other wing, the politically oriented \offi- cials,\ or even of Protestant extremists. \But everyone will obey, you can bet on that,\ one Bogsider said. The order gave no reason. British government may come within the next week. One account, in the London Daily Mail, said the govern- ment of Prime Minister Ed- ward Heath has been consider- ing a plan involving a form of direct rule from London and. suspension of the Protestant- dominated government in Northern Ireland. The alleged plan also called for introduction of a proportion- al representation system for majority Protestants and min- ority Roman Catholics. If implemented, it would settle one of the Catholic communi- ty's basic grievances -alleged discrimination in civil rights. Many suspected IRA mem- bers now being held in internment camps would be released under - the plan. Internment, imposed. by the government last August, has proved a catalyst for intensified violence throughout the British province. Earlier, a police sergeant wounded Tuesday night died in Political observers in London- a Belfast hospital. The death of derry and Belfast said the Sgt. Thomas Morrow, 28, move may have been linked brought to 258 the fatality toll with reports in British newspa- since violence erupted in pers Thursday that a decision Northern Ireland in August, on Northern Ireland by the 1969. By ROY McGHEE WASHINGTON (UPI) -For- mer Attorney General John N. Mitchell was called to testify today in a Senate investigation of whether there was -any link between an out-of-court settle- ment of a billion dollar antitrust suit and a contribution to the Republican National Convention. Columnist Jack Anderson has charged that both Mitchell and his deputy, Richard G. Klein- dienst-nominated to succeed Mitchell-were implicated the settlement. Kleindienst Thursday denied under oath that he influenced in any way the decision of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division to drop a law suit against the company involved and settle with a consent decree. Kleindienst said, however, he arranged a meeting between government antitrust lawyers and representatives of the in - International Telephone & Tele- graph Co. Subsequently, ITT was permitted to hold on to the Hartford Insurance Co. but was required to divest itself of several other properties in a consent decree. - Pledge Disclosed Shortly after the settlement, it was disclosed that an ITT . subsidiary, the Sheraton Corp:, had pledged $400,000 to help defray costs of the GOP National Convention in San Diego this summer. ITT subsequently said this figure was in error, and that actually only $100,000 had been promised, with the promise of another $100,000 later. Mitchell, . who's reign as attorney general ended Tues-. day, issued this statement: \I was not involved in any way with the Republican National Committee convention negotiations and had no know- ledge of anyone from the committee or elsewhere dealing Deferred Tuition Plan Proposed By ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) -Sen- ate Majority Leader Earl W. Brydges today proposed a \de- ferred tuition' plan which will expand the state's student loan program for college students. The plan permits students to obtain loans for the difference between board and tuition costs and any scholarship or scholar incentive awards they receive. For the first time under the plan, loans would be made available to students from fam- ilies with an income above $15,000 a year. \Unless we assure the avail- ability of low costs loans, which in effect, defer the payment of tuition until a student can translate his learning into in- come, we are abdicating our responsibility,'' Brydges said. Major provisions of the Brydges bill include: -Thé Higher Education As- sistance Corporation (HEAC) will make loans available to students whose net taxable fam- ily income exceeds $15,000. Présently only family with an income below that level are eligible. -All loans would be made Brydges available at an interest rate not in excess of seven per cent. An ordinary bank loan obtained for. such purposes now costs as much as 13 per cent. -The rate of repayment of the loan would correspond to the income of the borrower after he finishes college. This could mean no payments until a certain income is reached, or payments could be suspended or reduced if income decreased. -No tax money would be in- volved since the necessary costs would be absorbed from the sale of bonds and a built in profit in the program. The fed- eral government would pay the interest costs while the student is in college, the same as is presently done under the exist- ing loan program. -Under the proposal, the present limits for loans of 11,500 a year, with a total of $7,500 during college, would remain. However, a clause in the bill would permit an increase to an annual ceiling of $2,500 and a total loan of $10,000 if such an increase is approved by Con- gress as ant1c1pated R Probe of Buffalo Firm Underway WASHINGTON (UPI) - An investigation of a Buffalo, N.Y. concessionaire firm and a num- ber of persons who allegedly have links with organized crime has been ordered by the House Crime Committee. It was reported Thursday that the committee voted unan- imously in executive session to investigate the income tax re- turns and Internal Revenue Service reports for Emprise Corp. of Buffalo and several individuals. 7 Chairman Claude Pepper, D- Fla., confirmed an investigation is underway but declined to give details. Pepper pointed out, however, that his committee plans hear- ings in late March or in April on organized crime's use of legitimate businesses as a place to invest money it has obtained Hlegally. The legitimate businesses are believed to be used by organ- ized crime also as a place to make phony \loans\ as a means of accounting for its in- come for tax purposes. The committee was reported to have directed Pepper to \obtain and examine tax re- turns, investigative reports and other related documents of the Internal Revenue Service\ dat- ing back to 1965 for the indi- viduals. The committee refused to make the names of the individu- als public. The Buffalo Evening News reported it learned the list includes the following names: -Emprise President Jeremy Jacobs and his brother, vice president Max Jacobs. -Anthony J. Zerilli, of Grosse Point, Mich., president of the Hazel Park Race Track. Em- prise is reported to have invest- ments in the track. -Giacomo Tocco, executive vice president of Hazel Park Race Track. - -Gerald Catena of N. Jersey. -Carlos Marcello, reputed -New Orleans Cosa Nostra head. -Dominick Corado of Detroit, former head of Hazel Park. * -Raymond Patriarca, report- ed head of the Boston Cosa Nostra, now serving time on a murder conspiracy charge. -Joseph Colombo, reputed New York City crime figure. The News said Emprise, Zer- illi, and several other persons are. now on trial before a fed- eral court in Los Angeles on a - charge of conspiring to conceal their. former ownership of the Frontier Hotel and gambling casino in Las Vegas, now owned by Howard R. Hughes. The Justice Department's Anti-Trust Division is known to be seeking to determine whether Emprise used its lending power improperly to gain concessxon franchises. Have A Chuckle . . water, lost visibility and said. A passenger PRICE 10 CENTS with ITT. In fact, I do not know as of this date what arrange- ments, if any, exist between the Republican National Commlttee and ITT.\ ; ITT also denied there was any. connection between the contribution and settlement of . the antitrust case. New Charges Anderson made new charges in a column today. He accused ITT and the Department . of Justice of trying to \lie their way out of a scandal.\ The column cited as proof a statement by Ed Gillenwaters, an aide to California Lt. Gov. Ed Reinecke. Gillenwaters, according to Anderson, said. he talked to Mitchell in Washmg- ton last May and informed h1m of the ITT offer. A bigger mystery, however, was the whereabouts of an IIT lobbyist, Mrs. Dita Beard.; Anderson first published a memorandum from Mrs. Beard to W.' R. Merriam, head of the ITT Washington office ‘ Memo Cites Link | The memorandum linked: the outcome of the antitrust case to I . the political contribution. Mitchell acknowledged; he spoke with Mrs. Beard at the party, but said he told her he . was not familiar with the case. The Senaté Judiciary Com- mittee issued subpoenas | for Mrs. Beard, but as of late Thursday had been unable to serve them because she had disappeared. The revelations have held up Kleindienst's confirmation: as Mitchell's successor. Mitchell resigned to run President Nixon's re-election campaign.
