wfe THEJOU Power of Words it was thoughtful of\ the Sertoma Club to dedicate its Freedom Week Dinner to the news media. Preservation of freedom and rights and individual dignity is the main role of those in this profession. The mission is to do one's utmost to assure the people's right to know and to guarantee that they are informed. It, in a sense, boils down to the \Power of Words,'' por- trayed in this manner by Leo Rosten in a special review of the 35 years covered by Look magazine. \\They sing. They hurt. They teach. They sanctify. They were man's first im- measurable feat of magic. They liberated us from ignorance and our barbarous past. For without these marvelous scribbles which build letters into words, words into sentences, sentences into systems and sciences and creeds, man would be forever confined to the self-isolated prison of the scuttiefish or the chimpaitzee. 'One picture is worth ten thousand words,' goes the time-worn Chinese maxim. 'But', one writer tartly said, 'It takes words to say that.' \'We live by words: Love, Truth, God. We fight for words: Freedom, Country, Fame. We die for words: Liberty, Glory, Honor. They bestow the priceless gift of articulacy on our minds and hearts-from 'Mama' to 'infinity.' \And the men who truly shape our destiny, the giants who teach us, inspire us, lead us to deeds of immortality, are © those who use words with clarity, grandeur and passion: Socrates, Jesus, Luther, Lincoln and Churchill\. —-BATAVIA DAILY NEWS Self-Defense Claimed in Assault Case ALBION - Opening remarks by counsel for one of two defendants charged with first degree assault against a Clarendon man last November contended yesterday in Orleans County Court the act was com- mitted in self-defense. Curtis Lyman, attorney for Sandra Nichols, 20, of Hemlock Ridge Rd., Albion, argued before the six-man, six-woman jury that his client feared for her personal safety at the time Harvey Bonk of Clarendon was seriously in- . jured by a shot-gun blast. The other defendant's counsel, Orleans County Public Defender John Russelli, maintained there was no criminal intent involved on the part of his client, Robert Roy White, 19, of Root Rd., Albion, who the district attorney alleged in opening remarks was an accessory in the shooting of Bonk. The shooting, which took place at the residence of James Reamer, of Upper Holley Rd., Holley, apparently resulted in injuries to Bonk which District - Attorney Hamilton Doherty said - yesterday constituted a per- manent handicap. The prosecution called three witnesses yesterday all of whom were near the scene of the shooting by their own accounts: James Reamer, Laura White, wife of the Defendant, and Morris Lamica, of Barker, a neighbor of the Reamers The trial will continue today before Judge J. Kenneth Serve. Protestant Extremists Threaten To Kill BELFAST, Northern Ireland (UPI)-A Protestant extremist ~ organization said today it would assassinate 10 Roman Catholics for every British soldier and policemen killed in Northern Ireland. It said each of the 10 will include a Catholic priest. The threat came as gunmen mounted a new wave of bombings in Londonderry and other cities in Northern Ireland which damaged a post office building, a pub, a tire depot and a motor firm. Snipers also traded shots with British troops during the day. The threat came from the Uister Volunteer Force (UVF) in a statement to a Belfast newspaper. A police official said security forces were taking the threat seriously. Deaths SOUTHCOTT, ALBERT VOL. 70—NO 25 Expenmental Schools May Receive Aid ALBANY, N.Y. (UPD Communities could set up small, experimental schools and still get state aid under a plan sponsored by the legislature's two education committee chair- men. Sen. Thomas Laverne, R-Ro- chester, and Assemblywoman Constance E. Cook, R - Ithaca, said Tuesday the schools would be governed by boards partially chosen by parents, to encourage classes not offered in regular schools. The bill, which is being offer- ed for study purposes this year, would let the state provide the regular school aid, provided all requirements were met. \It would be a community operated experiment, subject to control of the local school dis- trict,\ Laverne said. Mrs. Cook said the schools could be more innovative than they now are, largely for reasons of size. The experimen- tal schools also would be more controlled by parents, and might save costs by using vol- unteer teachers and avoiding large physical plants. For example, Mrs. Cook said the experunental East Hill School in Ithaca has an enroll- ment of 80 to 100 youngsters with three regular teachers. Although about 75 such schools are now operating in the state, with an estimated enroll- ment of 6,000, Mrs. Cook said the bill was needed to insure state funding for such institu- tions. L Under the plan, the schools would have to meet require- | ments including: -Not charging tuition or fees, and not discriminating by race, creed, color or sex. -Being run by a board of di- rectors, at least half of whom would be elected by parents of the pupils. -Meeting state education re- quirements and having certified teachers. -Getting the written approv- al of the local school board for operation.

No. 2 in Manhattan, is back after being missing since Feb. 16. | An involved and determined search by city detectives, all the firemen of the engine com- pany, and Massachusetts police ended Tuesday when Fire Capt. John Downs and Fireman Mi- chael Andreachie drove to Me- thuen, Mass., and returned with the dog. The 4 - year - old Avis, which accompanied firemen on routine inspection tours, stood guard at the stationhouse when alarms were being answered and holds an unusual citation from Fire Commissioner Robert O. Lowe- ry, was apparently stolen and taken to Methuen, 270 miles away. According to Andreachie, \witnesses got the license plate number of the car that picked Avis up.\ Andreachie said there are no plans to prosecute anyone. \We're just very happy about getting Avis back,\ he said. Avis won his citation after a New York resident, in a letter to the commissioner, described the dog's response when an alarm came in to the station- house. After the bells rang out, the letter said, \the doors opened and all of a sudden this very dedicated canine ran out and stood in the middle of the street barking.\ Despite trucks, cars and tax- is, \that dog stood barking and pacing back and forth in the middle of the street. 80 Applicants Seeking Albion School Post ALBION - More than 80 ap- plications for the office of super- intendent have been receiveed from throughout the United States by a school board com- mittee which expects to make an appointment by May 1.

Muskie, a tarnished frontrunner, and Sen. George S. McGovern, a re- juvenated challenger, were locked in a close race today for New Hampshire's 20 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Muskie, a well-known neigh- bor from Maine, claimed his \'third victory in a row\ by winning the New Hampshire presidential primary-but he fell slightly short of a majority in what was anticipated as a big win destined to propel him to the Democratic presidential ' nomination. McGovern, the South Dakota senator who began his active campaign more than ayear ago. and spent much more time in New Hampshire than Muskie, exceeded by a wide margin his expectations of 25 per cent of the vote. It was the kind of effort he wanted to spur his campaign in succeeding prima- ries. 7 ' Muskie's role as the front- running candidate was placed in even graver doubt in the balloting for New Hampshire's 20 delegates to the Democratic convention.

Proud of his blackness, convinced of his need to- be just, frustrated by his inability to reach hotheads of both races and distressed by the apathy of those in the middle, Cabell put the shotgun to his head in the early morning hours of Feb. 24 and pulled the trigger. First, however, he wrote two letters-one to his wife of three years, Carlitta, and the other addressed Simply \For Bee- cher.\ That letter, made public by Mrs. Cabell Tuesday, said in part: \I am a leader but I cannot march alone. To all those black students... who worked hard at bringing sense to the errant and foolish brothers and sisters at Beecher, thanks for your efforts-I appreciate them. \To the white student body, I commended you for keeping your cool as long as you did. Tolerance and patience be yours forever. \To the vast majority of black students who did not take a stand but let the words of a few hotheads ... turn your mind away from what it was all about-I say it was for you I- die.\ It was this passage, accord- ing to School Principal Robert Towns, that epitomized Cabell's plight. \He was a black man and there were those students who could not accept the fact that he was working diligently for the equality of all students,\ Towns said. - Walkley Special Guest For Firemen's Program ALBION - Assemblyman ' Frank Walkley of Castile, who now is a veteran Albany lawmaker, but who has declined to seek re-election, will be the featured speaker here Friday night at the annual dinner-dance of the Orleans County Vol. { Firemen's Assoc.

The Las Vegas explosion came at 6:45 a.m. EST, 15 minutes before the last deadline in the extortionist's threat to blow. up a TWA plane every six hours for 24 hours. The plane was positioned in a parking ramp area only yards from the terminal awaiting refueling for a flight to London. - Federal officials said the bomb apparently had been placed in a restroom in the front of the craft. Authorities immediately sealed off the airport terminal and the roadways leading to it after the blast, permitting no one to enter or leave for about an hour. TWA earlier had said the FBI was investigating the case but the federal agency only had a terse \no comment\ in re- sponse to questions by repor- ters.
