llustrious Outcast Rochester JayCees, all in the good good name of com- mon sense, have been double- bumped. Because they dared to open their membership to young women, they were expelled from the New york State JayCees at the recent Batavia convention. This means, according to our in- formant, that Rochester will be denied a chance to plead its case further with the national organization. That may not be necessary. By admitting nine women, the Rochester Chapter has captured headlines that will plead its case much better. Rochester president James Bruen observed there's a feeling of relief that it (the expulsion) is all over. There is relief, too, in getting the state JayCees' archaic, short- sighted attitude out in the open. We salute the Rochester JayCees for choosing to go it alone-with others joining-in its open membership policy. In our book they're distinguished outcasts. -ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT & CHRONICLE JServing The Lake Middleport Board Goes After Dogs MIDDLEPORT - The Mid- dleport Village Board announced today they have instructed village police to enforce a local law providing for the control of dogs within the corporate limits. In taking the action, the board said they had received numerous complaints. They said facilities to impound the dogs have recently been completed in the village garage. The local law, which is posted in the village office on Main Street, provides for a civil penalty of up to $25 for each violation. The village trustees, reading from the law, said dogs creating a - disturbance, - habitually barking, unlicensed and running at-large between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. will be picked up by the proper authorities. Meany Gives Views On Labor Strikes WASHINGTON (UPI)-AFL- ~CIO President George Meany said Tuesday he no longer believes strikes are good tools for organized labor and has appointed a committee to find an alternative weapon to the strike. \I don't believe in strikes,\ he said. \I don't believe they mean what they did years ago.!i Meany made the comments during an appearance before a Senate labor subcommittee which is considering a proposal from President Nixon to outlaw strikes in the transportation industry. Meany said he still opposes the administration's plan, favoring instead one that would allow strikes that would Police Nab Youth For Entries Police Chief Homer Phillips revealed today that the local police have apprehended and received a confession from a 15-year-old youth who made entries at the Rosenkrans Drug Store on Monday, April 10, and two at the Medina Medical Cen- ter, Ohio Street on the following day. He is being held for fam- ily court. The youth, a native of Cali- fornia, and a durg addict, was only seeking drugs in each in- stance. He took some 3000 cap- sules of drugs and bariturates at the Rosenkrans Pharmacy and only a few at the Ohio Street Medical Center. One entry was made early Tuesday at the Medina Center. His second attempt was made later that day when he was ob- served by Dr. Harvey Blanchet attempting to force entry into the building with a knife. He fled upon being discovered but Dr. Blanchet was able to give the police a good discription of the boy. A quantity of the drugs taken at Rosenkrans were still in his possession when he was appre- hended. The youth was staying with relatives in this vicinity. tie up only up to 40 per cent of a given transportation industry: But Meany said his general views on strikes have changed over the years, from the time when a striking union could afford to pay its workers only 60 cents an hour in strike benefits. Now, he said, even though the benefits may be a little better, they are not sufficient for working people who have children in college, mortgage payments and other responsibilities. He said the day when a union was willing to call a strike over the interpretation of a contract clause has almost vanished because such disputes are now settled by arbitration. That method could be used to avoid strikes he added. The panel he has formed to look for strike alternatives would be working on ways in which binding arbitration could be invoked with both labor and management voluntarily agree- ing to submit their differences to an outside third party. Meany emphasized, however, that his comments on strikes dealt with them as tools-not as rights. He would fight to the death, he added, to protect the right to strike. '\'When you take away a man's right of not working you are taking not just the man's property but the man himself- his labor is himself, his hand, his mind,\ he said. Meany, 77, said his commit-, tee was working with the American Arbitration Associa- tion to hammer out an alternative to the strike wea- Talks to Continue ALBION - Contract negotia- tions for 1972%73 between the Village of Albion and employees of the Department of Public Works and the Albion Fire De- partment will continue Sunday, April 23, at 1:30 p.m. A negotiator for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employee's Council 66, representing the two depart- ments, said today no final agree- ments were reached during a iefiion last night at the village URNAL- Plains Country-Orleans, Niagara, Genesee Rain likely tonight and Thursday.

Snowmobile Race Track Operation Criticized SHELBY - The Shelby Town Board last night heard charges that a snowmobile and mini-bike race track on Salt Works Road constitutes a nuisance to residents of the area and is in violation of the town zoning ordinance. The charges, contained in a letter which the board , made public last night, were leveled by a resident of the area who lives near the tract of land owned and operated by Medina Snowmobile Club, Inc. Leonard Smith, 4605 Salt Works Road, argued that the operation of the track has seriously interfered \with our use and enjoyment of our own residence and has seriously depreciated the value of our home and the homes of others in the area.\ Officials of the club who ap- peared at the board meeting last night, denied that their operation was in violation of the town's zoning ordinance. William Menz, Richard Fry and Carl Prawel, Jr., all residents of Medina, said they had met with the attorney for the town board last year before opening the track and had been told such an operation would not violate the town's code. * Menz, a Furness Parkway resident, said they had received the permission of landowners on adjacent property to operate the track. In the April 3 letter to the town board, Smith said the nuisance included \extreme noise and air pollution resulting from the operation of the machines.\ Smith said \paper debris and other garbage.. .are allowed to litter the area and surrounding properties.\ He said the debris came from food and beverage Apollo Mission Settles Down To Smooth Routine By AL ROSSITER Jr. UPI Space Writer SPACE CENTER, Houston (UPE) -Apollo 16's astronauts awoke an hour early, in good spirits, and sped toward moon orbit today to line up for a landing Thursday in the unex- plored lunar highlands. Their mission settled down to smooth routine and all systems were \go\ for the critical brake into orbit. That maneuver was set for 3:23 pm. EST -a little over 24 hours before the scheduled landing between Stone Moun- tain and the Smokies. The most serious problem of the flight so far -trouble in the spacecraft guidance system - was downgraded to nothing more than a phantom nuisance. Correction Canceled >- The astronauts, Navy Capt. John W. Young, Lt. Cmdr. Thomas K. Mattingly and Air Force Lt. Col. Charles M. Duke, awoke without a call from the ground about 7 a.m. EST and reported everything. was normal aboard Spaceship Casper. They ate breakfast while listening to music played by an onboard tape machine. The astronauts were told that their course was so good that flight director Philip Shaffer had canceled the last course correction scheduled before Apollo 16 reached the moon. Mattingly good naturedly reported that the spacemen had some trouble Tuesday eating from a new snaptop can of peaches, being tested for the Skylab space station. _ 'When you open that can, you get them - all Mattingly said. happy to know we shared our peaches with Casper. He ate as much as we did.\ at once,\ Busiest Day ''There's still a lot of peach - on Casper's face,\ Young said.

Menz, who said he believed \the age of the snowmobile is here,'' told the board his organization had discussed requests for changes with ad- Joining property owners and had complied. He said his organization has run the operation and its concessions in line with rules of the Orleans County Health Department. The board agreed last night to meet with the town attorney to discuss the situation. Pending is a request by the club for a zoning variance for the track. Shelby Town Supervisor Orren Roberts said the club had made a request for the variance the first of the year. He said the board would have to seek legal counsel to determine whether or not a zoning hearing would be necessary. The issue, Roberts said, centers on the zoning ordinance itself and whether or not the existence of the track complies with it. If it does, the supervisor speculated, it would seem a zoning variance would not be necessary. Renewed Drive Rolls On Despite By ARTHUR HIGBEE SAIGON (UPI)-Communist forces attacked three South Vietnamese positions around Saigon's outer defenses today and pressed a new offensive in Cambodia to open an invasion route along Highway 1 into South Vietnam. _ Heavy fighting including hand-to-hand combat was re- ported on Highway 13 barely 27 miles north of Saigon. There was a smaller attack 13 miles south of Saigon and a major assault at Dau Tieng, 40 miles northwest of Saigon. The renewed Communist of- fensive appeared to be rolling on despite enormous losses. The South Vietnamese Command reported more than 660 North Vietnamese killed in the past 24 hours with comparatively light ARVN losses. U.S. air power also was taking a heavy toll of the attackers. ' Military sources reported U.S. fighter-bombers out in strength over North Vietnam again today but there was no immediate word on the targets. Most strikes were believed directed at the Communist \ MORE GIFTS To _ _ JOURNAL-REGISTER CAMP FUND ' 1. Veterans of World War I, Orleans Co. <-- Barracks 259 %. Oak Orchard Sand & Gravel 3.

The battles on Saigon's outer defenses emphasized the threat to the capital itself. Bike-Auto Accident ALBION - An 18-year-old Kent youth was treated and released from Arnold Gregory Memorial Hospital following a bicycle-car accident yesterday afternoon on Route 18 west of the Kent Road in the Town of Carlton.. , Injured was Michael Nichols, of Route 18, who State Police Trooper K. O, Murek said was . apparently \zig-zagging\ across the road when he was struck by an auto driven by William C. Laundry, 64, of 4139 Ridge Rd. West, Rochester.

MEDINA, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1972 uclear ~ PRICE 10 CENTS Poses Acquires 700 Acres Near Barker For Project New York State Electric & Gas Corp. and two other upstate electric utilities have begun studies to determine the feasibility of jointly forming a separate generation corporation to build and operate major power plant installations. The study plan was announced jointly today by William A. Lyons, president of NYSE&G; Francis E. Drake, Jr., chairman of the board of Rochester Gas & Electric Corp., and James A. O'Neill, president of Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. The proposed program con- templates construction by the generation company of a nuclear unit in the territory of NYSE&G, a nuclear unit in the territory of Rochester Gas & Electric Corp., and two fossil-fueled and one nuclear unit in Niagara Mohawk Power' Corp. territory. |_ , Purpose of the study will be to establish whether a jointly- owned separate corporation for power production would best accommodate total new production requirements of the three utilities considering par- ticularly efficiency, economy and lower-cost financing. \Such a corporation could benefit consumers in terms of continued reliability of bulk power supplies at lower costs than might otherwise be achievable,\ Mr. Lyons said Among the facilities con- ~ templated for construction by the proposed corporation would be the nuclear unit NYSE&G previously announced plans to build for operation in 1978. The utility is now conducting studies on the environmental com- patibility oftwo sites as locations for nuclear generating stations. The sites are on Cayuga Lake in the Town of Lansing and on Lake Ontario in the Town of Somerset. The Units in Niagara Mohawk territory are planned for sites at and near Oswego. The Rochester Gas & Electric facility would be expected to be located on Lake Ontario at a site not yet deter- mined. e In July 1957, New York State Electric & Gas Corporation purchased about 330 acres of land in the Town of Somerset, Niagara County, for the eventual purpose of constructing a steam electric generating station there. Some 200 acres of land was also purchased for a transmission line and railroad right-of-way corridor extending from the corridor to existing right-of-way P in' central Erie County. In the late 1950s NYSE&G conducted preliminary tests to satisfy itself that physical conditions, geological in particular, were sufficient to meet then-accepted engineering standards for power -> plant construction. Within recent years, sweeping changes have occurred in the procedures required assessment of an electric generating station site. In 1971 NYSE&G announced it had secured the services of NUS Corporation (Nuclear Utility Services) of Rockville, Md., to prepare a report on the en- vironmental compatibility of the site for a generating station. NYSE&G is considering con- ventional commercial plant designs for the Somerset site. It favors a nuclear station for Death of IRA Leader Brings Fight Threat By COLIN BAKER BELFAST, Northern Ireland (UPI)-The Irish Republican Army threatened today to escalate its fight against British rule following the funeral of an IRA leader killed by a British patrol. \'The death of Joseph Mc- Cann has not been in vain, for it has strengthened the deter- mination of republicans to continue and escalate their political activities until all their demands are met,\ an IRA spokesman said. New violence followed the funeral of McCann Tuesday. An IRA car bomb exploded in Belfast, injuring a policeman and a pedestrian, a British army spokesman said. In the town of Newtonsteward Showboat Back on Even Keel BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPD)-The Showboat, an 1896 Mississippi River stern wheeler that was brought here as a floating res- taurant and sank at its wharf, was \back on an even keel\ to- day. A company spokesman said the popular restaurant was pumped dry and refloated over- night by workmen using two rented commercial pumps with a capacity of 3,000 gallons per minute. A reopening date was ex- pected to be announced soon. \We're back on an even keel today,'' the spokesman said, \and- the hull seems to be in good shape from stem to stern.\ The boat apparently sprang a leak and was listing precarious- ly to port before touching bot- tom in about eight feet of water Tuesday. The banquet, dining room and main lounge area of the Victorian-style boat, reminiscent of the paddle wheeler era, was unaffected. Damage was believ- ed confined to a \cellar\ area. Once known as the James Y. Lockwood, the riverboat made daily steam cruises along the Mississippi River for 20 years. Deaths KIEBALA, ARTHUR L. a 20-to 30-pound bomb planted in a car exploded, damaging 20 houses, an army spokesman said. IRA guerrillas opened fire on British patrols in Belfast and Londonderry and one gunman was hit, the spokesman said. The Roman Catholic civil rights movement joined: the IRA in condemning McCann's death as \cold-blooded mur- der.\ _ » 2 He was shot to death Saturday when he was recog- nized despite a disguise and ordered to halt. He fled and was shot. for , reasons of ecology and economy, but must also investigate aiternative fuels. The en- vironmental report will be submitted to appropriate - agencies in New York State to obtain a decision as to whether a generating station could be constructed there. If the decision is favorable, NYSE&G expects to initiate detailed engineering work to develop specific power plant designs. These exacting specifications will be required to support applications for permits and licenses that are needed before on-site construction can begin. A similar ecological report is also being prepared by NUS Corporation for another NYSE&G-owned site which is located on Cayuga Lake in the Town of Lansing. The Lansing environmental report is expected to be completed in the second half of 1972, more than a year before the Somerset site report. Since early last year, when NYSE&G announced a research rogram for the Somerset site, a number of public statements have been made about the site, the type of generating station that may be located there, the timing of such station con- struction, and similar matters. (Continued on Page 8) Adjournment Granted in Zoning Case ALABAMA - A further ad- . journment has been granted in - a citizens' group's State Su- | preme Court suit to void a . zoning ordinance adopted last - month by the town Board. | The hearing on a show cause order which the plaintiffs ob- tained, stalling the execution of the ordinance, now is set for 2 pm. Monday in Supreme Court in Buffalo. Meanwhile, the town has been served with a second show cause order in connection with the same disputed ordinance. Lan- caster Stone Co., which before the ordinance was adopted sought to establish a stone quarry in the town, obtained the second order. It directs the town to show why the firm should not intervene as a party in the action against the town and, also, why the zoning mea- : sure should not be declared in- valid. . Five citizens are petitioners , in the original suit against the . town, aimed at overturning the , zoning code. The dispute gave | rise to the formation of a group |: known as the Concerned Citizens | of the Town of Albama whose The Northern Ireland Civil president, Anthony Mudrzynski, Rights Committee said in a statement McCann was killed also is one, of the petitioners in the original action against the deliberately as part of a plot by town. elements of the British army to block British government ef- forts to find a way to end 32 months of violence in Northern Ireland. It demanded an investigation of British army activity. \Fight to the Last\ The official branch of the IRA said it would fight on until the last British soldier has left Ireland and North and South have been unified as a Socialist state. . Security officials expressed fear the death of McCann might unite the warring fac- tions of the IRA. . The IRA is split into Official and Provisional factions which have been at odds since the Roman Catholic civil rights movement began. The two factions buried their differences at least for the time being, after McCann's death. They joined together to erect barricades in Belfast's Catholic neighborhoods and in sniping at British patrols. =Have A'Chuck‘le c, A second petitioner, Mrs. Joan Hall, who also is in the group of those bringing suit against the town, said the postponement was granted the town in order that a new attorney may have time to become familiar with the case. The town had been granted a postponement a week earlier: when the attorney representing the town withdrew for reasons of possible conflict of interest. The plaintiffs are represented by a Buffalo attorney. ALBANY, N.Y.
