C 6C hor Pl”. © Soviet Farms Lag -_ The Soviet Union's traditional economic albatross - agriculture - is in trouble again. The severity of the problem is indicated by the special meeting on agriculture called recently by Party Chief Brezhnev. At stake is the recent pledge made by Premier Kosygin that \the total industrial and agricultural output of the USSR in 1975 will exceed that of the United States at present.\ , The immediate concern is the cold and relatively snowless winter that has resulted in possibly one-third of the winter wheat crop being - damaged. Winter crops make up about 40 per cent of wheat output. But the, problem goes deeper than that. It was Soviet agriculture that paid for Russian industrialization. The price was lack of agricultural incentives and production. Even today, with agriculture belately getting high priority, return on investment is lower than in any other economic sector...... If the Russians are glum, there should be smiles on U.S. farmers' faces. The Soviets almost surely will have to go outside their borders to make up the grain deficits if they want to hoid to the five year plan goals. American granaries are buiging with surplus stores of the feed crops the Soviets want. As a result of the general thaw in U.S. - Soviet relations, the $190 million grain agreement with Moscow last fall could be the start of something big. -MILWAUKEE JOURNAL Taxpayers - Map Plans In Murray - FANCHER - A delegation of irate taxpayers of the Holley Central School District assem- bled in the Murray Town Hall here last night and took steps to continue their opposition to the $4.6 million bond issues pass- ed by a narrow margin last year to construct a new high school in Holley. One of the prime movers in the drive is Leland C. Hurd of the Hurd Road, whose petition to the State Department of Edu- cation alleging that the vote was illegal becauseseveral students attending SUNY at Brockport voted, claiming that they were not legal residents of the district. Two courses of action were agreed upon. One was to form a taxpayers' committee to con- fer with the Board of Education and effect a compromise build- ing plan \on a basis the district can afford.\ The other was to find and elect candidates for the two upcom- - ing vacancies on the school board, \who will carry out an economical building plan that the taxpayers will be able to pay for.\ Hurd presided and outlined the details: of his recent unsuccess- ful appeal to the State Commis- sioner of Education. ° TH OURNAL \ Serving The Lake Plains Co untry-Orleans, Niagara, Genesee - Clear tonight, low 40 to 45.

York State Supreme Court judge and attorneys for a taxpayers' group to comply with the U.S. Supreme Court's one-man, one- vote edict. 3 County Attorney Sanford L. Church said today the proposals are variations on two major reapportionment plans: (1) multi-member districting combined with computerized weighted voting and (2) single- Albion Discusses Adding Patrolman ALBION - Village trustees, reviewing the amount of over- time police are working here, are considering the possibility of hiring another full-time patrolman. . ~ Wednesday night at a regular village board session, Mayor William Monacelli, expressed. concern af the use of regular, salaried, full-time police to fill-in empty time slots in the depart- ment. Monacelli indicated the village preferred using , part-time patrolmen to work any available over-time because it saved the village money. Pay for part- timers is not comparable to over- time scales for full-time patrolmen. _ Monacelli, looking over ex- penditures for the past year, said . the village had paid enough out in overtime to full-time and part- time employees to hire another man if the village wished. Full-time patrolmen put in for almost 1500 hours this past year Deaths BRUNDISH,. JAMES SAUERS, HARRY F. _ _. GREGORY, EDMUND V. j] in overtime while part-timers recorded approximately 2,000 hours. The standard working year in hours is 2,080. \So with an extra man,\ the mayor said, \we would still need part-time help.\ | The village is currently short one full-time man with the resignation earlier this month of patrolman Wallace Mapes. Another full-time position is being held by a patrolman who has not obtained permanent status on the force yet. _ When Mapes resigned, the police - department - began working some patrolmen on double shifts, other on twelve- hour shifts to fill-in. Monacelli told Police Chief Francis McCabe Wednesday night to use . part-timers whenever possible and to avoid putting full-timers on double \tricks\ because of the strain it could put on an officer. |_ - Also pending before the village is action on a vacancy for a sergeant in the department. . The department carries a normal roster of eight men in- cluding two sergfiants. At this time, there is only one on duty, the other having resigned earlier this year after a one-year leave of absence from F force. l + t member districting combined with computerized weighted voting. Church said the county and counsel for the taxpayers' group were told to appear again in Buffalo June 22. Church said he expected formal testimony on the proposals might be taken at that time. \We just got hold of the plans yesterday,\ Church said this © morning, \and we really haven't had much of a chance to look them over.\ He said the delay from now until June 22 will give all the interested parties an opportunity to review the package. \I also intend to present the plan to the next regular meeting of the Board, of Supervisors,\ Church added. The document, prepared by a New York City computer analyst, runs 43 pages. In essence, the proposals are all based on a legislative reap portionment format because they require redistricting. Such a move would superimpose districts on the county's © territory. The Orleans County Board of Rocky Heckled PORTLAND, Ore.

(UPD)-- Buffalo - area banks Thursday raised the premium on the Canadian dollar to two per cent, the highest level in nearly 12 years. The increase means it costs $1.02 in U.S. money to buy one Canadian dollar Supervisors - is _ currently operating according to a weighted voting system based on townships. Some legal analysts have said that redistricting leads to a divorcing of the bond between town and county government and feel that the move tends to strip the towns of their power base. The last meeting between the eounty and taxpayers' counsels in Supreme Court was on Jan. 21 during which a computerized weighted voting plan was in- form ally submitted. Discrepancies on critical voting factors, however, led the county to consider other alternatives. No deadline has been set for final resolve of the issue. . Minimum Wage Bill - WASHINGTON - (UPD)-The House voted Thursday to raise the $1.60 an hour minimum wage to $2.00, accepting an administration-backed measure that would spread the increase over a longer time than the Democrats wanted. A coalition of Republicans and - southern teamed up on a key 218 to 192 vote Thursday .to pass a Republican substitute to a bill drafted by the House Education and Labor Committee. The measure, as sent to the Senate on a final roll call vote of 330 to 78, would raise the minimum, to $1.80 within two months of enactment and to $2 one year later for the estimated 34 million workers covered by the act prior to 1966. Most, if not all of them, already are making more than $2 an hour. The increase for the estimat- ed 11 million workers brought under the act for the first time by Congress after 1966 would go 'to $1.70 an hour within two months after enactment, then to $1.80 one year later and finally $2 two years after enactment. e Democrats -(J-R Photos) Knights Campaign William Knights Jr., of Know- lesville, who is involved in a 2-way race with Joseph Mancuso of Batavia for the Republican nomination for State Assembly in the June 20 primary, an- nounced last night that John E.

Mailbox Week Coming Up ._ \Mailbox Improvement Week,\ a traditional observance which contributes nationally to environmental quality, will be observed May 15-20, it was an- nounced today by Postmaster Franklin Kader. \For many years, the start of Mailbox Improvement Week has served as a signal for special community efforts to encourage repairing, painting and other im- provements in the security and appearance of about 18.5 million rural and suburban curbline-type boxes. , \The observance helps in pro- moting the security of mail as well as in contributing to the ap- pearance of the boxes, which may often be damaged by the previous winter's weather,\ states Postmaster Kaderli. \Mailbox Improvement Week has been observed for genera- tions, particularly in rural areas and smaller communities. The effort is still especially impart- ant for rural delivery areas be- | cause more Americans received their mail today on rural routes than ever before,\ concludes Kaderli, - - - Postmaster Kaderli said afiout ' 4700 individuals are served by the three rural carriers from his office.

(UPID-State workers will get a $66 million pay raise under a bill approved by the legislature Thursday, de- spite attempts to knock out $1 million in pay hikes for \fat cats.\ P The package, easily approved in both houses, provides the 4 per cent pay raises negotiated with the Civil Service Employ- ees Association and the Senate Professional Association. Between them, the two unions . represent 150,000 state workers ranging from office workers to mental hospital attendants to State University professors. Leaders of both parties -agreed to the package after two changes to meet CSEA ob- jections. But several rank- and- file lawmakers objected to the \piggyback\ method by which similar raises were included for top state administrators. Sen. Walter B.

Hungerford, vice president, reported that the Genesee Regional Health Planning Agency has given approval to the health center establishment. This was granted at a meeting held near Canandaigua and attended by the two local board officials. The proposal must now go to . the State Health Planning Council, 'but that . agency generally follows the regional agency's recommendation. It means that the local hospital board can move ahead to buy, move .and erect two used modular buildings on a spot directly in the rear of the hospital on Ohio St. These buildings have been in use for two years by the new Northern Livingston Health Center, which has now advanced to the stage of building per- manent quarters. - ' The two modular structures will serve the intended Medina group medical practice until such time as permanent quarters may be feasible.
