Brutality and various forms of violence including shootings, rapes and beatings is on the increase, especially in elementary and secondary schools in large urban areas. The Senate Subcommittee To Investigate Ju- venile Delinquency released a report in 1970 based on a study of 110 large city school districts. It showed pupil assaults on teachers rose 612 percent over a four-year period, from 253 in 1964 to 1,801 in 1968. The study also revealed increases in other types of crimes as follows: robberies, up 281 per- cent; narcotics offenses, eness, up 180 percent. up 1,070 percent; drunk- Another study was conducted in mid-1970 by the Policy Institute of Syracuse University's Re- search Corporation. It un covered some rather alarming statistics on teacher-student physical dis- ruptions. A questionnaire from the Institute 'was sent to 2,000 high schools throughout the nation, mostly in large city districts. Respondents reported incidents of student- teacher confrontations that added up to a message that something is drastically wrong. Of the approximately 700 districts that re- sponded, 29 percent reported incidents of physical confrontation between teachers and students , according to Edward D. the past three years. Interestingly enough 'over Brady, director of personnel security in the Chicago public schools, the greatest number of incidents of violence in the massive Chicago system occur in integrated neighborhoods. | Among what the Syracuse study refers to as societal causes for student violence are black and white racism, the new permissiveness, disputes which occur when large numbers of young people and adults from different neighborhoods and dif- ferent racial and ethnic strains mix, and increasing politicalization of the schools. ‘ It is time to review programs introduced by the social \engineers\ into the public schools, particu- . larly the black, brown, and Asian studies programs; the ethnic studies programs; sensitivity training; sex education; and drug studies programs.

To fuel our vehicles, heat and light our homes, drive our machines and power our innumerable \labor-saving\ gadgets and appliances, we use each year vast quantities of irreplaceable oil, gas and coal. Much of it is converted, very wastefully, into electricity. Last year we consumed 1.6 trillion kilowatt-hours of electric pow- er. Contrary to popular belief, only a tiny portion -about 5 per cent -came from hydroe- lectric or nuclear power plants. The rest came from generating plants whose boilers were fired by coal, fuel oil or natural gas. A Federal Power Commission spokesman says that a \profli- gate\ waste of potential energy ' takes place when fossil fuels are converted into electricity. It takes about 14 quadrillion British thermal units (BTU's) of coal, gas or. oil energy to produce about 4.3 quadrillion BTU's of electrical energy. Allowing for additional losses in transmission, the FPC figures only 16 to 18 per cent of the potential energy stored in fossil fuels is actually put to work when they are burned to generate electric power. This low efficiency might be overlooked if the nation were blessed with unlimited supplies of fossil fuels. But it isn't. Already there is a shortage of natural gas. The situation has become acute in some places, with companies refusing to supply new homes and facto- ries. Even by the most optimistic projections of new discoveries, the FPC says, in less than 20 years domestic supplies of natural gas will be sufficient to meet only 60 per cent of expected demand. Fuel oil, gasoline and liquified petroleum gas are in somewhat better supply, but demand for them is rising so sharply it puts PEOPLE'S FORUM (Free expression is the mark of a progressive com- munity. This column be- longs to Journal - Register readers to set forth their views. Letters should be as brief as possible and must be signed in the writers' own hand). To The Editor: A few days ago my attention was called to a letter published in your paper March 7 and written by William C. Knights Jr., in whichhe called me a few choice names in reaction to my report to the Board of Supervisors in defense of statements made by Gerald Lynch, Republican election commissioner. ' Apparently Mr. Knights is the self-appointed defender- protector-spokesman for Republican leaders, because, I recall, this same Mr. Knights made choice remarks about me last fall when I spoke up in defense of statements made in your paper by another Republican leader from the Medina area. I am somewhat amused at the noble Knights' name calling. He called me a \little man,\ (Now, really, Mr. Knights, we can't all be blessed with your magnificent physique, can we?). Then he goes on to call me a \Leader?\ with \power madness,\ \lack of stature\ and \misplaced ego;\ then likened me to a \dictator'' and \cruel despot,\ and finally \a pied piper\ headed down \a rat hole.\ Now, that's a mess of language to throw at me in one torrent. So, let's look at the record. One thing Mr. Knights didn't like was a comment I made with reference to the proposal that Malcolm G. Johnson be ap- pointed an instructor of voting machine custodians, when I said he didn't know the difference between a voting machine and an adding machine. Mr. Johnson has been, or reportedly is to be, appointed as a voting machine custodian, and as such must be trained and schooled in the use and maintenance of voting machines.. How could he then also be ' appointed as an in- structor for custodians? Mr. Knights accused me of ''irresponsible attacks with regard to Gerald Lynch's actions and character.\ _- Let me put Mr. Knights straight on Mr. Lynch. This is the same Mr. Lynch who testified under oath in Supreme Court in Buffalo last December that a particular voting machine in a Ridgeway district was causing trouble all day long last election day, only to have all four election inspectors later testify, also under oath, that they had had no trouble with that machine at all on election day. I state that this is the same Mr. Lynch who fraudently falsified a Board of Elections payroll last November to pay a Republican election inspector from Clarendon with Orleans County taxpayers' money for a number of hours of work on the official canvass of voting machines last Nov. 6; and the same Mr. Lynch who put in a claim for mileage for that canvass when, in truth, neither he or she showed up for that canvass, although the law requires that he make the canvass or appoint someone to do so. And this is the same Mr. Lynch who signed a payroll last fall to give a Gaines Republican élection inspector a full day's pay for work in the Board of Elections office when, in truth, she spent most of the day at his side in court. This is the same Mr. Lynch who put in a claim for mileage last election day for delivering absentee ballots to various election districts when, in truth, he delivered no such ballots. This is the same Mr. Lynch who reportedly went to Florida for a two-month period on or about Dec. 1 and didn't return until on or about Feb. 1, so that even his county paychecks had to be mailed to him for forwarding from his Waterport address because even his election clerk and his Republican chairman had no other way of contacting him. The fraudulent payroll matters have been turned over to the Board of Supervisors and district attorney, and I herewith call upon the district attorney publicly to take the legal action necessary to protect the tax- payers of Orleans County from these acts of fraud. And while we're discussing irregularities in the Board of Elections office, I might point out to you, as I did to the Board of Supervisors last year, that I had to call upon the Department of State in Albany several times to investigate illegalities and irregularities in that office -- such as an illegal registration of a voter on June 29, 1970, by a substitute Republican election clerk, in the presence only of the Republican election com- missioner, on a day when such registration was NOT permitted by law, and the apparent forgery of that voter's signature to an enrollment blank, since he himself claimed in the presence of the Board of Supervisors chairman and the county at- torney that the signature was not written by him. After I made a personal appeal to Secretary of State John Lomenzo for an investigation of these and other irregularities, including a list of such irregularities sent on Feb. 21, 1971, I received a letter March 3 from Deputy Secretary of State John J. Ghezzi stating that Secretary Lomenzo had requested that Thomas Wallace, director of that department's Election and Law Bureau \look into the matter and make ap- propriate suggestions for the improvement of the operations of the Board of Elections in Orleans County\. The following day the Republican election com- missioner resigned. So, Mr. Knights, I call upon the district attorney to investigate these claims of fraudulent payroll records, and I would call upon Mr. Lynch to resign as election commissioner in the light of these actions. Actually, as county Democratic chairman, I would say the longer Mr. Lynch continues as Republican election commissioner the better it is for the Democratic party.

First, he says, it also is dependent on a resource limited in quantity - uranium. No way has yet been found to dispose safely of the radioactive wastes that will pile up if nuclear power plants spring up all over the landscape. Muir thinks America should be pouring vast efforts into harnessing solar energy -the heat radiated from the sun. But he admits there is one great problem: how can it be stored once produced? - Pending a technological breakthrough on that or some other front, many fuel experts believe the government should take steps to curb the steeply rising demand for electric power, the least efficient form in which our remaining supply of fossil fuels can be utilized. -File Features Interesting Bits Taken From Files of The Medina Daily Journal Medina Register Fifteen Years Ago Vandals do hundreds of dollars damage to the lawns of four public schools by driving car over soft turf.
