Bndhmg Time _ Early spring or late, there is a natural clock that not only summons the hepatica, the saxifrage and the arbutus to blossom now but says that it is almost half-past birthing time. Most gray squirrels have borne their young, naked and toothless and blind, which won't leave the nest till June. Baby chipmunks are born now, too, and they will stay in the parental nest another six weeks or so. Young muskrats are April babies and won't be out and foraging till the end of May, In a hollow tree at the edge of the woods a mother raccoon bears her young, four in an average litter. But they, ' too will stay in the den at least another six weeks. Nearby, in an <uvnderground nest, a mother skunk will soon give birth to four or five young ones that will be nurselings until June. And back in the deeper woods, usually in a grassy glade, a whute-tatled doe will bear her fawns any day, twins Servzng The Lake Plains Country— Orleans Nzagara, Genesee Clear and cool tonight.

The fawns will lie hidden in the woodland shadows, rousing only to feed until June before they trail their mothers and learn the taste of grass and leaves. The weather has little to do with such vital statistics. That mysterious clock tells the squirrel, the raccoon, the white-tail doe, that April leads to May and May to June, when this world should be full of young life, and that June is summer with autumn and the ripeness of the whole year ahead. -NEW YORK TIMES Medina Youth Charged-DWI An 18-year-old Medina youth, John O. Wagner of Mill Road, was charged Saturday with driving while intoxicated after the car he was driving became involved in an accident with a patrol car of the Niagara County Sheriff's Department. Scheduled to appear in Lock- port Town Court today, Wagner was charged by Sgt. Jerome Kreutzer who said Wagner told , him he was driving north on Transit Road and did not see a red light at the intersection with Robinson Road. Deputy Wayne M. Powless said he was headed north on Transit Road and was stopped for a traffic light when the car was struck in the rear by the Wagner vehicle. The same patrol car was reported to have been involved in another accident the previous Saturday and sustained rear-end damage. Protests Subside . By United Press International Antiwar protests appeared to be subsiding today despite a - 'promise by peace and student groups that massive demonstra- tions would continue across the country until all U.S. involve- ment in Indochina has ended. There were only a handful of demonstrations Monday and the only two-at Salt Lake City, Utah and the University of Wisconsin at Madison-attract- ed mere than 1,000 persons. #.

This involves aid to sewage treatment plant projects and all four villages either have plants planned under construction or in operation. The upshot of last night's meeting was this opinion: A bond issue proposal of $650 million strictly for \pure waters\ aid would be passed by voters in November; but the $1.1 billion environmental bond issue as now proposed will fail because Apollo Speeds To Earth SPACE CENTER, Houston (UPI) - Apollo 16's grimy, bearded astronauts showed the moon receding behind them during an impromptu telecast today and buoyed scientists' hopes that their treasure trove may include long-sought pieces of the primitive lunar crust. John W. Young, Thomas K. Mattingly and Charles M.Duke, reporting their morale is \up a couple of hundred per cent, rocketed out of moon orblt Monday night toward a Pacific splashdown Thursday after- noon. \I'll tell you, we can hardly wait,\ said Young, veteran commander of the mission that went from near-failure to success during the past five days. _ Command module pilot Tho- mas K. Mattingly, who soloed in moon orbit while Young and Duke spent three days explor- ing the highlands, was to get his moment late today with a walk in space to retrieve 6,500 . I M64; HONORED - Vernon \Bud\ feet of film from two mapping cameras in the spaceship's moon observatory. The spacewalk was to begin at 3:03 p.m. EST and last about one hour. Ascent Section Cast Off Before leaving lunar orbit, the astronauts cast off the ascent section of their lunar module Orion. But they failed to set a critical switch and the ' spacecraft tumbled out of control, ruining a chance to crash it near the Apollo 16 landing site. The impact was to have created an artificial moonquake to be recorded ' by the seismometer Young - and Duke left behind. But the astronauts successful- ly deployed a little satellite. designed to measure radiation and magnetic forces around the moon. Dr. David W. Stangway, chief geophysicist at the Manned Spacecraft Center, said an identical satellite left behind by Apollo 15 \has told us a lot of very exciting things'\ about the pecularities of the moon. Tet Gov. Rockefeller, it is too all-inclusive. Mayor Monacelli said he learned from the Conference of Mayors that a survey shows the full bond issue will fail, but the governor's office is pressing for it. All that has been cut to make the proposal more palatable, said Monacelli, is $100,000 worth of ski lifts, fish hatcheries, and the like. \I think it is important that we State Senate Majority Leader Earl Brydges and Assembly Speaker © Perry Duryea know that we feel the full bond issue will fail,\ emphasized Monacelli. \By the same token,\ he ad- ded, \we feel sure a $650 million bond issue strictly for pure waters prOJects would easily pass.\ The mayors know that Orleans County has a vital and even \desperate\ need for such support. - Lyndonville and Alblon have sewage treatment plants on the drawing board awaltmg final approval. Holley is building a million dollar plant due to open late this summer. Medina has had a modern primary treatment plant for some years, but is being pressed by state agencies to expand it to secondary treat- ment. - And in all cases, the state pays a portion of the yearly operating : - costs of modern sewage plants. ''In Orleans County we desperately need both federal and state aid to carry through required sewage projects,\ said the mayors last night. They said they are worried about the chances of the full $1.1 billion environmental bond proposal, but would work hard to see passage of a $650 bond package for pure waters programs. Billy Graham Rapped ATLANTA {(UPI) - United Methodist Church delegates have refused to erase from the record an attack on evangelist Billy Graham as \a sort of high ° priest of a kind of new American folk religion.\ The remarks were made Monday by Dr. Richard D. Tittinger of Huron, S.D., during a session of the two-weeks-long general conference of the 11 million member denomination. Graham is a Baptist. Tittinger described Grahani as '\one who wields vast influence with people in high' places, who has become a sort of high priest of a kmd of new P American folk religion.\ He said the evangelist has \on at least two occasions, in my hearing made this comment on pending legislation relating to rat control in the ghetto: 'We had rats when I was a boy and we didn't ask the federal government to get rid of them for us. We got rid of those rats ourselves. . | \I submit the United Metho- dist Church must . somehow publically disavow this kind of radical insensitivity.\ Primaries Today Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and George S. McGovern today were favored, respectively, to win the Pennsylvama and Massachusetts primaries with Sen. Edmund S. Muskie hoping for a sizable share of delegates to keep his badly floundering campaign alive until the Democratic National Conven- tion same-day presidential primaries in the two large eastern states hold a treasure of 239 delegate votes . But the outcome could also break so many ways that the three candidates might go into next week's Ohio and Indiana primaries, each claiming a share of the spoils and leaving the presidential sweepstakes every bit as confused as before the voting began.

Barry, who joined the Lyn- donville Fire Department in 1933, was elected assistant chief in 1947 and served in that capacity until 1954 when he was elected chief of the department. In 1961, he became Orleans County Fire Coordinator and a year later the Orleans County Fire Chiefs Assoc. was formed. In 1964, he organized the County Mutual Aid Program which was later adopted by the State of New York. He left the fire coor- dinator's position in 1971. When the fire was all over, men began filtering back into the hall to finish up what was left of their dinners. They returned just in time to see Medina Fire Chief Dell Stork present Barry with a commemorative plaque for his years of service. Others attending the dinner include Barre Fire Chief Merle Hazel, who's also president of the Orleans County Assoc. of Fire Chiefs, David Green, director of Natural Disaster and Civil Defense in the county, Percy Bryan, first vice president of the Fire Coordinators Assoc. of the State of New York, and Fletcher Ward, of the Division of Fire Safety Representatives of fire departments from around the county also were present.

Mortar rounds hit the Kontum airfield today, wounding three children and damaging an Air Vietnam airliner and a U.S. C130 supply plane. Field dispatches said the Communist drive so far had overrun at least nine govern- ment support bases in the highlands region and bypassed at least five despite hundreds of tons of bombs dropped there by B52s and strikes by fighter- bombers and helicopter gun- ships. Field dispatches earlier re- ported the fall of Dak To, another major town 25 miles north of Kontum, but later dispatches today said a \Black Thai,\ Lt. Col Lo Van Bao, commander of a 650-man regional battalion there, refused orders to abandon Dak To & radioed that he would fight to the death though hopelessly surrounded and outnumbered. Bao, whose troops are largely Area Parks To Stretch Lakeside Beach State Park in Orleans County will be open to campers this summer for ap proximately the same nine or ten week period as in 1971, it was revealed by the Genesee State Park Commission. .A resolution prepared - and submitted by the Orleans County Board of Supervisors asking for a longer season for campers will be discussed by the Park Commission within a few days, but prospects at this point are for the-same type of season as last summer. It had been feared during the height of the Albany \budget crisis'\ that the Genesee State Park Commission would be stripped of money to a point where Lakeside and Darien camping areas, plus one beach at Hamlin and one swim pool at Letchworth would not be opened this summer. Funds provided in the sup- plemental budget gave the area commission enough \fiscal fuel\ to keep up its schedule of last year, even though the problem of operating one link of the Lake. Ontario Parkway is still \touch and go\ in the money depart- ment. Data on parks and camping was released as follows: There are five areas at Let- chworth State Park where cabins are located, but Areas A and B already are reserved for July and August. Some dates are available at the other areas, beginning a week from Saturday and ending Oct. 24. Rates range from $5.50 to $14.50 daily and $22 to $58 weekly. Camping at High Banks grounds in Letchworth begins May 18 and ends Oct. 24 at $3 per da y. The two pools at Letchworth will be open from June 24 until Sept. 5. Glen Iris Inn at the park offers overnight ac- commodations and is open for dining from 12:30 until 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 until 9 p.m. daily. Silver Lake State Park at Silver Lake near Perry in Wyoming County offers cabins from June 10 to Sept. 5 at $67 to $137 per week, but it has no camping facilities. Hamlin Beach State Park 25 miles west of Rochester on Lake Ontario can accommodate Deaths RIDER, JOHN F. local militiamen, is called a \Black Thai\ because that ethnic group has dark complex- ions and wears black pajamas favored by the North Vietna- mese. U.S. fighter-bombers today knocked out a bridge on Highway 14 five miles south of Dak To, but military sources expressed doubt one blown bridge would halt the North Vietnamese drive that a Pentagon spokesman described Monday as the opening of a long-expected general offensive in the highlands. _ UPI reporter Matt Franjola flew today over the area by helicopter and reported the South Vietnamese troops ap- peared fo be regrouping at Artillery Base Bravo, which blocks the highway just north of the village of Vo Dinh, 12 miles north of Kontum. Franjola said a Communist force of 4,000 men, including artillery and tanks, was about six miles north of Bravo at sundown - today. There were unconfirmed reports that four tanks had advanced to within two miles to the east of Bravo in an apparent flanking move- ment. Defending Bravo were infan- trymen of the 22nd South Vietnamese Division who were able to make their way south when the forward defenses 25 miles north of Kontum erum- bled Monday. They . were reinforced by paratroopers who evacuated Rocket Ridge, an artillery base west of Kontum, which was to have defended an Set Plans Budgets campers from May 18 to Oct. 24 at $3 per day, and its cottages will be open from May 26 to Sept. 5 at $57 to $90 per week.

Capt. Raymond H. Dobbins, 35, of Marietta, Ga., one of those who made it to allied lines today after hiding out all night inside the captured base said six Americans and four helicopter crewmen were killed when their rescue chopper was shot down over Dak To. _ Only Dobbins and four others were known to be still alive. A critical situation also was reported in Cambodia where the High Command said 12 Communist tanks were reported moving in on the besieged capital of Svay Rieng, 78 miles | - southeast of Phnom Penh on nghway 1 leading to Saigon. Fall of Svay Rieng would give the Communists control of another 25-mile stretch of the hlghway in the Parrots Beak Middpt. Man Sentenced In Drug Case ALBION - A Middleport man, Roy L.
