Heart of A Problem When the Genesee Valley Heart Association gives a luncheon as it did on Feb. 17 it cannot '\'opt\ for the usual \rubber chicken\ fare...not with cardiac experts calling for tow risk diéts sparse in animal fats and cholesterol and moderate on caloric in- take. The association, which has won state recognition as a show-case chapter, served a luncheon that hewed to the line-a garden salad, veal cooked in wine, baked stuffed tomato, mixed sherbets, and skimmed milk, or coffee. This was a nutritious yet enjoyable meal. More people should try the association's diet recipes. There is still much to be learned on how to prevent heart attacks. But enough is known to demonstrate that eating with restraint is an important part of it. The association counsels (1) reducing if one is overweight, (2) controlling high blood pressure, (3) refraining from smoking, (4) exercising amply and regularly and (5) 'having regular medical checkups. Even these steps for minimizing the risk of a heart attack won't guarantee it won't happen. Psychological factors such as stress, worry, and working at an excessive pace come into play. But there is consierable medical evidence that such precautions heighten a per- son's chances against the leading cause of death. It should be pointed out that the disciplines we refer to aren't the kind that a potential victim, seared and late in life, €an seize upon with full assurance they will protect him. Better late than never, of course. If is vital that the citizen who wants to stay healthy, adopt a reasonable regimen of diet and exercise early in life, especially if he's glued to a sedentary oc- cupation. Too often the tragedy of a heart attack is too little too late. . -ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT & CHRONICLE Gray Gets Year Term ALBION - A 20-year-old Me- dina man who pleaded guilty Feb. 15 in Orleans County Court to second degree assault and unlawful possession of a firearm, received one year concurrent sentences in the county jail on each of the two charges yester- day. Bobby James Gray, 552 Mahar St., was reported by Medina Po- lice to have been sitting in a car on Main Street May 8, 1970 when Dorothy Patterson, 8675 Dew- hurt Rd., Gasport, was shot in the throat. Second degree man- slaughter charges were brought against Gray after the woman died some time later. Vote Machine . Custodians ALBION - Gerald F. Lynch, member of the Orleans County Board of Elections, has an- nounced the appointment of two voting machine custodians, M. George Johnson of Albion and Maurice O. Belson of Kent. These two men will act as rep- resentatives of the Republican Party, and will replace Wallace Forder, who resigned after many years of service. Custodians receive a small fee from the towns involved. This is a new procedure of having two rather than one cus- todian, said Lynch. \Greater efficiency and flexibility will thus be gained at no increase in costs to the towns involved.\ Mr. Johnson will be respon- sible for the towns of Albion, Barre, Clarendon, Ridgeway and Shelby. Mr. Belson will have the towns of Carlton, Gaines, Kendall, Murray and Yates. However, if either is unable to act on some election the other will be trained to serve. \At present due to resigna- tions there are no trained custo- dians. Training three rather than two we lengthen the odds that we will not find ourselves in this unfortunate situation again. Phillip J. Ciarico's ap- pointment was previously an- nounced as the Democratic cus- todian,\ Lynch continued. Custodians will be trained by experts in Jamestown. The school is conducted by AVM Cor- poration and there is no tuition charged for the three-day school. Jo Serving The Lake VOL 70—NO 30 NYS No | Longer Triple-A By RICHARD CHADY ALBANY, N. Y. (UPD -State Comptroller Arthur - Levitt promised today to reject any state borrowing which he con- siders too costly, as a result of a lower bond rating given the Empire State. The state's top fiscal officer said it was \outrageous and unjustified\ for Standard and Poor's to downgrade the state from a Triple-A to a Double-A status-a move that will most likely mean New York taxpay- ers will foot higher interest bills on heavy state borrowing in the months to come. \If the bids (on bonds) are not consonant with the state's high credit position, I will reject them,\ Levitt said Tuesday. Meanwhile, Senate Republica- an Leader Earl W. Brydges plans to name a bipartisan committee to see if additional controls are needed for the major bond rating agencies. ''Perhaps we can figure a way to regulate these organiza- tions who set themselves up as God ahmghty to make these ratings,\ the\ Niagara Falls leader said in a floor speech Tuesday: \'Maybe we can rid ourselves of some of these determinations they make.\ For the man in the street, bond ratings rank in interest somewhat below Joe Pepitone's batting average. Nevertheless, an estimated $313 million of the proposed state budget will go to pay for past borrowing for such things as highways, state office buildings, and anti - pollution projects. Both Levitt and Brydges were surprised over the lower rating, because the bonds are guaranteed by the state consti- tution. The new ratings get their first test today as Levitt offers $39.2 million in housing bonds in New York City. Fiscal experts predicted if the market ran close to normal, the . higher interest could cost tax- payers another $2 million in interest by the time the bonds are paid off. Ironically, Levitt has been a persistent critic of the heavy borrowing polcies of the Rocke- feller administration, saying the debt '\'approaches a public burden.\ In dropping its ratings, Standard and Poor's said it was concerned with the state's \heavy debt and tax burdens, and the deterioration in the over-all financial situation.\ It noted the. state is post- poning $400 million in aid to localities to squeak through this fiscal year, and is counting on a \doubtful'\' $400 million in federal revenue sharing to balance next year's budget. The other major rating service, Moody's, dropped New York from AAA to AA in 1964. io wall sre nan c wee e ne vo ils an sep n e ne re ucc seme we s e Plains Country- Orleans.

Hundreds of active girls from Brownie age upward munched on goodies to produce that super-active energy of the teen crowd. It was emphasized last night that Orleans County Girl Scouts are not part of a centralization under the Genesee Valley Girl Scout Council of Rochester. This council controls a vast network of near- ly 1,100 scout troops. dissolved. The former Tonnewonta Council office in Batavia has been -(J-R Photos) Trustees Urge School Tax-Vote Review A unarimous resolution passed, by the Medina Village Board last night has urged the Medina Central School District to \reconsider\ its action taken earlier in the week in turning down a 50 p.c. property tax exemption (for low-income elderly persons. By a split vote of 5-3 the local school board rejected the request i from senior citizens that home- > owners with a total family in- come of less than $3,000 be given the 50 p.c. tax exemption. Data on the cost to the district of such exemptions was not presented in the school's report which said the \tax impact\ was the reason for the decision. Village Trustee Edward Jablonski opened last night's discussion in the council chamber. \I think I'm right in recalling that we (Village of Medina) were one of the first to grant this exemption and I just can't see the thinking of the school district. \'These people with income of under $3,000 are at a poverty level and they are people we have depended on over the years to keep our community going, to keep up their homes, and pay their taxes. I think they need help.\ Following his motion, the local board passed its resolution to be sent to the Board of Education. Mail Car 'Lost' 25 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI)- Everyone was red-faced. A postal inspector walking down a railroad siding found a missing mail car that Penn Central's sophisticated compu- ters had overlooked for 35 months. The U.S. Postal Service blamed Penn Central. The railroad blamed the Birming- ham Post Office. The car containing 319 sacks of mail was found by the inspector March 6, officials said Tuesday. \He just walked up to it on an obscure side track at Perryville, Md., near a bridge over the Susquehanna River,\ said Leroy Greene, director of communications for the servi- ce's southern region. Mostly Parcel Post The mail-mostly parcel post. from mail order firms or third class items such as books, library film and. avertisements -was bound for Birmingham and distribution in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. Greene said that delivery would begin today. He said each package will be accompa- nied by a letter of apology from H. W. Egerton, officer in charge of the Birmingham Post Office. Deaths WwIRTH, MRS. NINA BRADY, MRS. LOIS Sidetrack But Greene said the postal service is blaming the troubled Penn Central Railroad for the snafu. \'They will be fined substnati- ally, you can be assured of that,\ he said. \This was delayed through no fault of the U.S. Postal Service. There was nothing we could do about it.\ However, a Penn Central spokesman in Philadelphia con- tended that the postal service failed to notify the railroad that the car was missing. No Notification Received \Under rules and regulations in effect at that time, railroads depended on postal authorities at destination to advise when a car did not reach its destina- tion,\ the spokesman said. \No such notification was received from postal officials in Bir- mingham by Penn Central. \In fact, discovery of the loaded car by Penn Central . was reported to the post office by Penn Central last week,\ he said. \I've never heard of anything like this,\ Greene said, \and frankly, some of the old timers in the department are chuckling up their sleeves at this happening in the computer age. 'Penn Central's computers were supposed to be able to tell at any given minute where any car in its system was, but they couédn’t find this one,\ Greene said. County Tax Director Arnold Basinait told the Journal- Register today that all 10 townships in the county have given the 50 p.c. tax relief to the low-income elderly, but only Medina as far as villages are concerned. He said no school districts have yet given this relief, \but some are looking into t 99 In other business last mght The trustees approved an amendment to the parking or- dinance which will now make Erie St. between Park Ave. and West Center St. a restricted area. There will be noparking at all on the east side and no parking 70 feet north from Park Ave. on the west side. This street is a point where traffic exits from the Fisher-Price Co. parking lot. Richard Becker, a resident of that area, spoke at a public hearing at 7:30 and urged that parking on both sides be retained as a measure to keep traffic slower as cars come out at the factory's change of shifts. He cited instances of fast moving cars at these heavy traffic periods and said small children could be endangered. Mr. Becker said he felt full parking on both sides would tend to slow the traffic. . In another matter, the resignation of Miss Margaret Shannon was received from her position as chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals. She indicated that she will be residing outside the corporate limits of Medina in the future. A replacement on the appeals board will be made soon. Mayor John Cobb issued regular and advanced first aid cards to persons who have been studying under Robert Wood- worth of Clarendon. This is in connection with the volunteer emergency ambulance corps. The group will now begin an intensive course in medical emergency techniques. Given Red Cross first aid cards (advanced) last night were Marcia Stornelli, Sandino Stornelli, John J. Walsh, Keith Wells, William Hopkins, David Neischel, Sanuel Santillo, Kenneth Schaal and Glenn Stalker. \'This is a lot of hard work and takes study and effort. People who are willing to do this for the community are the highest type of citizen,\ said Mayor Cobb in his presentation. The volunteer ambulance squad has been his personal project during the past year and he cited the fact that many had volunteered, but the group narrowed down eventually to only those who were willing to put forth the long, hard effort required in training. Discussion was given to the water line. which will be laid by Albert Suppa, developer of a new mobile home- park across Salt Works Rd. at the end of Park Ave. Trustees agreed that some stipulation must be put in writing about the diameter of the line, type of construction, and operation of sewer lift pumps. Supt. of Public Works Wayne Ward indicated thare was some vagueness about the diameter of the line the developer intended to install. A 12-inch line was put in original specifications. Also discussed last night was the need for some regulation to- insure that a \fire lane\ is kept open in the large parking lot of * the Maple Ridge Plaza. Plaza owners are to be notified by the village attorney. Ridgeway Positions Affected In an action Monday night, the Ridgeway Town Board approved an amendment to its town \Code of Ethics\ which will bar any elected or appointed town official from being an officer of a political party. The immediate effect of this amendment, which has previously been enacted in Kendall and Gaines, according to reports, will be the restrictions placed on Fred Roth Jr. and Arthur Winters. _ Mr. Roth has long been the Republican town chairman in Ridgeway as well as being superintendent of highways in the town and thus a member of the town board. While he recently resigned a post 'as vice chairman of the County GOP Committee, it will now be necessary for tum to step down as town chairman as well. Mr. Winters serves as a member of the town planning board in Ridgeway and is also a GOP district committeeman in that township. He will be precluded from keepmg both positions. This section of the town ethics code is new. The code as previously in force in Ridgeway followed the guidelines of the state ethics code in general. It concerned itself with conduct of public officers, restriction on receiving gifts, entertainment, loans, or other favors when in- fluence is intended; also matters of confidential information, conflicts of business interest, legislation, fees, prlvate em- ployment etc. In other Ridgeway board matters: An insurance committee consisting of Lorne McMurray Jr., David Becking, Fred Ben- son, Charles Slack and Henry Pollard is reviewing the town- ship insurance coverage. Bids will be solicited on replacement of the roof of the town hall which was described in '\'very-bad and deteriorating\ condition. couse ea oo nene eps o mec nn n mem n n e > - iffy/lea th er- Clouding up tonight, a chance of showers de- veloping before dawn.

Perhaps the winner was a 'man whose name was not on the ballot and will be on no primary election ballot-Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace won here withnearly a three-to-one edge over his closest rival. But no one-not even Wallace-is ready to believe that Wallace will be the Democratic candidate to suc- ceed President Nixon in November. All Wallace's victory did was assure him of a stage at the convention and assure the nation of a roundhouse fight- what Senate Democratic Lead- er Mike Mansfield likes to call a \brouhaha.\ HHH Finishes Second Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey finished second, with a vote of one Florida Democrat out of five. He said his second-place showing restored him as the leader of \what I call the regular Democrats.\ Humphrey didwell in his old constituency -among the blacks, labor, Jews. But he lost heavily in precinct dominated by college students. The professionals know that there will be 25 million potential first voters in November and must ponder whether the old, familiar Humphrey can appeal to the young. Three Bruised In Mishaps ALBION-Three persons were bruised in a two-car collision near Albion last evening about 6:25, according to State Police. It was reported that a car oper- ated by Darryl Horzempa, 17, of State St. Rd., Batavia, was parked on Route 31 near Allen Rd., west of Albion, as an auto driven by Alan L. Thompson, 21, of 12633 Presbyterian St., Know- lesville, approached. The Thomp- son car hit the rear of the other despite application of brakes. Bruised were the Batavia driv- er and two passengers in the Thompson machine, Linda Thompson, 16, and Cindy John- son, 21, both of Knowlesville. At 7 :45 yesterday morning a skid caused a collision at the intersection of Ridge Rd. and Rt. 279 in Gaines. Timothy Searles, 24, of 2504 Murdock Rd., Medma, was traveling on Rldge Rd., troopers said, and Mona S, Sllverman, 21, of Holley St., Brockport, was driving north on Rt. 279. She attempted to halt, but skidded into the path of the other car. No injuries were list- ed except some bruises to the legs of the Brockport woman. Spring Storm By United Press International With Spring less than a week away, many New Yorkers to- day found themselves cleaning up one of Winter's messiest storms. - A combination of rain, snow, sleet and hail hit widespread areas of the state Tuesday, causing glazed roads, minor flooding and brief power out- ages. The storm, coming only six days before Spring officially checks in at 7:22 a.m. Monday, was spawned by a mix of systems off the Atlantic coast and west of the state. The National Weather Service said it would taper off overnight. Earlier predictions of heavy snow in the New York City area failed to materialize and rain fell instead. Snow was the order of the day Upstate, with more than five inches at Albany, which was particulary hard hit. Estimates of up to 1,000 cars and trucks were tied up by at least three major accidents on Interstate Route 87, a six-lane superhighway which funnels thousands of commuters into the Albany area from Saratoga County. State police said they might never know how many vehicles were actually mvolved Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington, with a 13 per cent total, showed strength in competing for Wallace voters. But. would be liberal wing of the Democratic party stand still for the nomination .of the author of a constitutional amendment to restore \free- dom of choice'' in schools? Jackson says he is the party's \centrist.\ He bears the label \hawk.\ Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine was considered his party's front-runner from the day after his calm election eve 1970 speech. That was the label the press gave him. But now that he has been tested in two primaries-a weak win in New Hampshire, a weak fourth-place showing here with 9 per cent of the vote-he still must prove his appeal. He goes into the April 4 Wisconsin primary limping. © ' McGovern Shares Votes |_. Sen. George S. McGovern of South Dakota, the first candi- date in the race, would have done well here but he had fo share the votes of the young; the black and the dispossessed with Mayor John V. Lindsay of New York - City and Rep. Shirley Chisholm of Brooklyn. Together they polled 15 per - cent. McGovern remains un- known to most voters and is hard-pressed for funds. Labor leaders are cool to his candidacy. But there sits Kennedy, with a name and a verbal inflection known to all. If the Democrats cannot agree at Miami Beach, will they send out for Dr. Kennedy? lnZel MIAML lUPI) -Here, at a a glance, is how the candidates fnnshed and what the Florida pnmary means to their cam- paigns for the presidential nomination : -Wallace (42 per cent)—An exceptionally strong showing even in a Southern, conserva- tive state. Northern primaries may bring him down but he will go to the convention with a sizable number of votes. -Humphrey (18 per cent)- Among < what he calls the \regular'' Democrats, Hum- phrey ran. the best. It establishes him as a candidate . who has retained his voter appeal - especially among Lyndonian Injured - A Lyndonville man driving north on Route 63 south of Route 104 in the Town of Ridgeway yesterday morning reported knee and forehead injuries after he swerved to avoid collision with another car and hit a cement culvert. | William J. Hyndman IH, 42, of 29 Eagle St., said he went into a skid and left the west shoulder of the highway when his car almost came into contact with another vehicle, the Orleans County Sheriff's Department reported. He was not taken to a hospital. Yesterday afternoon, two vehicles were involved in an. accident at the intersection between Peter Smith Rd. and Route 104 in the Town of Murray, but no- personal injuries were reported. . Sheriff's deputies said a car driven by Ronald Woodcock, 23, of East Kent Rd., Kent, was attempting to make a right hand turn onto Peter Smith Rd. from Route 104 when it slid into a truck driven by Raymond C. Webster, 47, RD 3, Phipps Rd., Alblon, who was stopped for a stop sign at Peter Smith Rd. -. Have A Ch uckle ole blacks, Jews, and labor-but he, must break through in other primaries to convince the - voters he should get another shot at Nixon. -Jackson (14 per cent)- 'Would have doneeven better if © he did not have to share Florida's heavy conservative vote with Wallace. Like Hum- phrey, he must establish in future primaries that he has broad appeal and can run better than third. - -Muskie (9 per cent)- Deeply hurt by Florida prima- ry. He must lead former Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy by a large margin in the Illinois prefer- ence test next week and then finish at or near the top in Wisconsin to keep his candidacy viable. -Lindsay (7 per cent)-He campaigned long and hard in Florida and spent money but just barely beat out McGovern for fifth place. Wisconsin will . be a criticaltest for him. -McGovern (6 per cent)- Florida was not a setback. He banked on New Hampshire, where he had 37 per cent, and ~ looked forward to Wisconsin, virtually ignoring the Sunshme State. But he, too, needs a good showing in Wisconsin to keep rolling and keep badly needed money coming in. Danish Jetliner Down _ MANAMA, Bahrein (UPD)-A Danish Caravelle charter jetli- ner flying holidaymakers home from Ceylon crashed Tuesday night near Dubei in the Persian Gulf, killing all of ° the 106 passengers and six crewmembers, officials said today. . A report that one man had - survived the crash in the mountains some 40 miles east - of Dubei airport was not confirmed. Sterling Airways, the Danish charter airline which owned the plane, and the Tajereborg Travel Agency in Copenhagen, which had chartered it, said there appeared to be no , survivors. GOP Petition Dates OK'd ALBANY, N. Y. (UPI)-Re- publicans have drafted an elec- tion calendar which lets candi- dates start c1rculat1ng petitions for the June 20 primary on April 4, it was announced today. Assemblyman Peter Biondo, R-Ossining, chairman of the special committee on elections, said he expected the: calendar to be approved later in the day ''with bipartisan support.\ \We've allowed virtually the same intervals as in 1968 and 1970,\ Biondo said. \We don't antlmpate any problems with this.\ 'There had been some question whether later - than - expected dates for circulating and chal- lenging petitions would hinder court challenges to candidates. Under the plan, petitions to get on the primary ballot may be cireulated on April 4, com- «pared to March 31 in 1970, - when the primary was June 23, and April 2 in 1968, when the primary was June 18. - This year's plan has petitions being filed between May 8-11, vacancies filled by May 19, and certification by the seeretary of state June 5. Independent petltlons for the November ballot can be circu- lated, starting July 20, with ‘certlficatlon by the secretary of state Sept. 27. Judicial District nommatmg conventions will be July 21-22 in New York City and Sept 6-7 elsewhere. GUETERSLOH Germany (UP!)-The abdommal pains which had been bothering Mrs. Gisela Dangberg for eight months and which her doctor said were gallstones ended Monday when she gave birth to a six- pound boy.
