Not the Silence Hard frost comes and on a still, star-shot night the countryman wakes at two in the morning and listens and wonders what happened. The quiet is so deep the only sound he hears is the throb of his own @pulse against the pillow. No cricket chirps, no. katydid or any other insect scratches the darkness. He lies there, tense, until he hears the rustling of crisp leaves, the far-off hooting of a barred owl. Next day he walks down the road to close a barway left open by trespassing hunters and picks up an acorn under an oak, admires the orange berries of a bittersweet vine, pauses to watch the last few tufts of floss float from an open milkweed pod. The pod is shaped like cupped hands, now open, a silk-lined womb where life has matured its seeds. He touches the lining, smooth as the floss itself, and \'he knows this empty pod is a memory of summer's biossom, fragrance and bee- hum, of rain, dew and sunlight, of the potency of polien, the readiness of the egg, their fertile union. This milkweed pod, like the acorn and the bittersweet berry, is summer _ matured into autumn, life risen from root to bud, fo blossom, to Seed that will sprout and grow again from root to seed, over and over again. That night he wakens and listens again, and still no cricket chirps. But even before he hears the rustling leaves and the hooting ow! in \the distance, he remembers the acorn and the bittersweet berry and the milkweed pod. He has seen the evidence, known the reassurance. It is the quiet of autumn that he hears in the night, not The Silence.

(UPI)-About - 100 inmates at the Attica State Correctional Facility remained in a prison yard, chanted and refused to return to their cells for a time Wednesday, but the situation was quiet today, a prison spokesman said. The spokesman said \about A 45-50 of the prisoners'' were responsible for the incident. He said guards put on riot gear and went up on the catwalks, but the prisoners gave in and were put in a vacant cell block. The spokesman said there was \\absolutely no trouble, no shout- ing and no injuries.\ |»: The prisoners were being processed back into their cells | today.

MEDINA, 1 [EW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1972 PRICE 10 CENTS Harrison Schmitt, left, Command Module Pilot Ron Evans, OFFICIAL PORTRAIT of the Apollo 17 cre UW Albion Plans Water Sale To Carlton Housing Site ALBION-This village gave the go-ahead last night for the sale of water to a multi-million dollar housing project in the Town of Carlton that has been billed as a major experiment in rural - low-income - housing development. The go-ahead came in the form of an authorization to- Acting Village Mayor Jacob Glassner for the execution of an agr- eement between the Village of Albion, the Town of Carlton and an expected Carlton water district for the sale and purchase of water to CarlKen Manor. Village Attorney Sanford Church remained cautious this morning in predicting when the agreement would finally be signed between the parties. He said the agreement has not yet been seen by Carlton or Urban Development Corporation of- fictals. | UDC is the state-backed agency which has provided the major financial impetus for CarlKen Manor, a huge multi- dwelling complex nearing completion on land once the scene of a major confrontation between its owners and predominately black residents of the area. A portion of the land had been the site of the Coloney migrant labor camp years ago until a local activist group aided by sympathizers from Rochester and Orleans: County. fought the . owners to a standstill and per- suaded them to sell them the acreage. The Village of Albion currently sells water to a section of the Town of Gaines and to the Lakeside and Oak Orchard areas. Water charges, according to officials, are running ap- proximately 87 cents per thousand gallons. . A water line designed to ser- vice CarlKen was finished earlier this year and runs from Route 98 all the way to its in- tersection with Baker Road. Once completed, the housing development is expected to provide homes for a majority of the low-income, predominately black dwellers who are now living in former migrant quar- Final Votes Tallied Knights Sets Eye On Albany Orleans - County - voters defeated the three state con- stitutional amendments on Tuesday's ballot by a Z-to-1 margin, while at the same time they passed the $1.15 billion environmental bond issue proposal by a margin of about 3,000 to 2,500. Fiscal caution made the bond issue vote close and un- familiarity probably made for the negative vote on the amend- ments dealing with terms of district attorneys, an added judicial} district, and a state constitutional convention. President Richard Nixon led the Orleans ticket with his healthy vote of nearly 11,000. Republican Domenick Gabrielli polled the high county total of 8,959 for associate judge of the Court of Appeals, followed by Hugh R. Jones with 8,679 and Sol Wachtler with 7,675. Democrats Bernard Meyer had 4,256; Nanette Dembitz, 4,271 and Lawrence H. Cooke, 5,157. Reid S. Moule had no opposition for justice of Supreme Court, in the 8th Judicial District. Three major district officials will now have their \thank you\ messages and outlines of ob- jectives to offer voters who put them in. They include Congressman Henry Smith III of N. Tonawanda; State Senator Lloyd Paterson of Niagara Falls, and Orleans County native son William Knights Jr. as the new assemblyman. Knights said this morning: \I'm certainly not frightened Approach about going down there and I value very much the close friendship of Jim Emery. (Emery is assembly minority leader in a post of power and is from the neighboring district to the east.) \Jim has a very strong af- fection for Genesee, Wyoming and Orleans Counties and I'm especially glad of that,\ said Knights. Speaking from his office at an early hour and still taking congratulations after beating Batavian Paul Weiss by about a 3,000 vote margin, Knights said: \I'm going to Albany with the intention of guarding my con- science. I don't intend to vote yes or no on anything I can't justify. \I think my agricultural background will help me in the job and that the men in state government will value it and respect me for it. I might give me a special 'in' which some others don't possess. \The 137th district should be easy for me to represent since it is compatible with my own personal nature. I had a hell of a hard working opponent in Mr. Weiss who was up at 6 a.m. Monday hanging cards on car doors. But I've been used to hard work and will continue that way.\ He said he expects wounds to heal and the fact that Batavia has a city character and defeated him in total voting will gradually cease to be a negative factor. \I'll give every part of the district my full consideration,\ he concluded. \wk a w with their Moon Rover at Cape Kennedy: Lunar Module Pilot right, and Mission Commander Eugene Cernan, ters on the Sawyer Road in Carlton. A tentative target date for the opening of the development has been set at sometime around the first of the year. S. Services, County Confer ALBION-Wages, work hours, overtime, health insurance and equalization of male and female employee wage rates are the major issues facing continued contract negotiations between the county and employees of the Orleans County Department of Social Services. A state-appoint the talks, which were declared at an impasse Oct. |19, told the Journal-Register this morning he prefers not to release the specific content of union demands and with the New York State Public Employment Relations Board, said he felt such a release \would have an adverse effect\ on the negotiations. The county and the American Federation of State, Municipal and County Employees, AFL- CIO Council 66, Local 1436-- representing the Social Services Department employees- have already met once with the mediator in joint session. Franke said today another session has been scheduled for tomorrow, Nov. 10 at 10:30 a.m. in the Court House to continue working on the dispute. The mediator characterized the dispute as involving \honest differences of opinion on cost.\ He said he did not detect any rigid stands by either party on any one particular area of the negotiations. | \I think we've made some progress,\ Franke said. Albion Man - Is Held on Drug Count ALBION - A 22-year-old Al- bion man, Lynn A. Gardner, of Old Coach Inn, has been charged by State Police with third de- gree criminal possession of dan- gerous drugs. It was reported that 2% ounces of marijuana were found in his car during a routine traffic check. The man is in jail today in lieu of $1,000 awaiting action of the grand jury. He was arraign- ed before Justice Clare Jones of Gaines, mediator in. -Sidari lixon _ Second Major White House Staff Shuffle Seen By STEVE GERSTEL WASHINGTON (UPI) -Pres- ident Nixon let it be known today that he envisions his second term as a period of reform -'\reform using money more effectively\ -but ruled out any \massive new social programs.\ The President was engaged at the Florida White House in what was described as intensive second term planning, with little time taken to celebrate his avalanche victory Tuesday over George S. McGovern, while Democrats looked ahead to reshaping their leadership. McGovern flew off this morning to the Virgin Islands to rest - while - Democratic National - Committee officials quickened plans for a reorgani- zational meeting one month from today in Washington. Nixon told Cabinet members and other top aides Wednesday, k Conflict Steps Held Off ALBION - It will be at least another month before village officials here publicly decide if any action is required on \a possible\\ conflict of interest between Frank Sidari's jobs as both building code enforcement officer and a private remodeling subcontractor. Last night, as the Albion Village Board finished up a five- and-a-half hour regular monthly meeting and closed their doors for an executive session, Acting Mayor Jacob Glassner told the Journal-Register the board planned to \bring the matter up\ . for discussion but not in public. \We're going to talk about it right now,\ Glassner said, \and we may have something for the next meeting.\ The next regular board meeting is scheduled for Dec. 13. . The conflict of interest issue surfaced at a board meeting last Aug. 9 when an officer of a local federally subsidized housing development charged that Sidari could not hold both jobs legally. Richard Dunmire, Newport Plaza, Inc. secretary-treasurer, argued then that Sidari was discriminating against their project in his enforcement of the New York State Building Code. Sidari denied the charge. During the meeting, Albion Village Attorney Sanford Church said he had asked for an advisory opinion from the State Depart- ment of Audit and Control. On Sept. 22, he acknowledged he had received the finding but said he would notrelease it to the public until it could be presented to the village board. Earlier yesterday evening, Dunmire appeared at the board meeting, as did Sidari but because Church had not shown up, Dunmire left. He said he had come to the meeting because \We have some new construction to start and we'd like an an- swer',. In other business last night, the board: -held two public hearings and approved no parking on the west side of South Main Street from the Penn Central railroad tracks to Park Street so that three lanes of traffic can be set up. -sought legal opinion on the status of the Albion Housing Authority after Deacon Leonard Davis, chairman of the \Con- cerned Citizens of Orleans County\ requested information from the boardon the possibility or reactivating the organization which officials believe has been dormant for several years. Davis said he is interested in the authority taking a leadership role to spark a low-income housing development drive in Albion. - ... -met with representatives of the Chamber of Commerce to : inform them of plans the village has to install permanent metal \sleeves\ at the four corners and one other location to facilitate the femporary installation during the holiday season of pole attachments for the village's artificial - Christmas - tree decorations. The village pegged the cost of the project at about $800 and agreed with the chamber spokesmen that an effort should also be made to decorate Court House Square for the holiday season. -heard their village attorney explain he believes an ordinance amendment would be required to allow the addition of so-called \Florida Rooms\ on mobile homes located at Oak Orchard Estates, a mobile home park locatedwithin the village limits. Village Attorney Church also advised the board thatcontrol of these additions could probably be maintained by applying the housing and building code regulations to the structures. The board earlier had been asked about the additions by Francis Shepard, a vice president with the park, Oak Orchard's attorney Robert Smolka and the park's manager, Douglas Long, on whose mobile home the addition would have gone. The village code now ap- parently prohibits an addition to a trailer other than an awning open on three sides. -heard Albion Village Trustee Francis Neidert report that a personal investigation at the behest oflocal resident John Eibl into quantitiesof oil and gasoline he said were flowing from a local oil company and the Town of Albion's highway building into a nearby storm sewer were in fact substantially correct. Neidert said he met with of- ficials of both the oil company and the highway department and they agreed to clear the problem up immediately. Local People Report 'Home Fixers' Busy \Somebody is going to get hooked real good,\ said one of two home owners who calledthe Journal-Register this week about door to door \fix-up\ salesmen. It appears that the season for traveling \fixers\ is open and while some are reputable, many are not and local police have for years issued warnings to people about checking their backgound thoroughly. Maurice O'Brien of West Ave. said yesterday, \I'll bet there have been 30 salesmen in town offering to fix everything from the roof to the furnace and if there isn't caution, somebody's going to get hooked.\ + Reputable firms do not like the \bad publicity\ caused by the fly-by-night home fixer, and constantly have to overcome it. However, there is the salesman who offers to \inspect\ a roof, heating plant or some other part of the house and gradually finds expensive repairs to suggest which may not be needed. | just after his 49-state election sweep, that significant changes would be made not only in personnel but structure of the executive branch in his new term. . Spelis Out Reforms He outlined his reform plans in considerable detail, two days before the election, in an interview with Garnett: D. Horner, White House correspon- dent for the Washington Star- News, published today. He said he had seen speculation - that - after - re-. election, - since he - cannot succeed himself, \I will now be free to advocate some massive new social programs.\ © He then declared: \Nothing could be further from the mark.\ The reforms he said he had in mind were \reform of existing institutions and not the destruction of our tried values in this country -... reform, not just adding more dollars. Bank on Peace Reform using money effec- tively will be the mark of this administration rather than sim- ply coming up with huge new bundles of money to throw at the problems.\ Nixon made clear he never had any doubt that he would win. - Of McGovern he said bluntly, \He was defeated the day he was nominated. The: issue in this election was his views.\ ‘ In the interview, Nixon said, ~\When I tell you I am completely confident that we are going to have a settlement '(in Vietnam), Ybu‘can\' bank on- it.\ . He pledged anew that some U.S. economic. aid would be available for North Vietnam Term when the fighting is over. And while he is expected to concentrate heavily on foreign policy in his second term as he did the first, he doubted \the next four years will be as spectacular as the year 1972\ which featured Peking and Moscow summits and major international monetary moves. Record Rains Batter New York City NEW YORK (UPI) -High winds carrying record rains battered segments of the East Coast - Wednesday, - dumping more than 5 inches of rain on the New York metropolitan area, downing utility lines, turning parks into quagmires and highways into lakes. Flooding conditions and stalled cars early today forced police to close large sections of major arteries in and out of the city. Tow trucks attempted to clear the roads, but a police spokesman estimated it might be well into mid-morning before problems were cleared up. \There's flooding all over,\ a traffic patrolman said. \It's going to be an interesting rush hour.\ _ Residents attempting to get to their jobs Wednesday trotted out a variety of foul weather gear-boots, - galoshes, - rain- coats, umbrellas and parkas. Some made it-soaked to the bone and battered by winds that reached gusts of near hurricane force. Others, disgusted by the penetrating dampness and slow progress, took whatever trans- portation <was available and © returned home. Disenchanted Dems Plan Party WASHINGTON (UPD) Disenchanted Democrats whis- pered or shouted today of a counter-revolution against both the movement which led to a landslide loss in Tuesday's presidential election and the catame McGovern drive to overhaul the national party. They did not talk of reversing the irreversible reform cam- paign set in motion by the disorder of the 1968 convention and the left-wing triumph at the 1972 convention. . But they did speak of taking a new look at the reforms, of moving the party back toward the middle-of-the-road and of displacing Mrs. Jean Westwood, presidential nominee George S. McGovern's choice for the national party chairmanship. This talk coincided with a warning from an old pro, Lawrence F.: O'Brien, that the party must avoid blood-letting and Monday morn- ing quarterbacking\ arising .from President Nixon's crush ing defeat of McGovern. \We mustn't fall into that trap,\ he said. - ' Among the first to call for the - replacement _ of ° Mrs. Westwood were Sen. Lloyd Bentsen of Texas and Govs. David Hall of Oklahoma and Wendell H. Ford of Kentucky. Without naming anyone; Gov. Marvin Mandel of Maryland said some party. leaders should be thinking about stepping down. | - Joseph F. Crangle, New York state chairman who would be available to head the national party, refused to speculate about the possibility of unseat- ing Mrs. Westwood but said, \rancor . Showdown \We don't have to reform, we have to revive.\ {, Oklahoman Hall said he already had talked with a number of governors and senators and felt sure that \'there will be-a move to bring a centrist in to replace Mrs. ' Westwood in the next two . weeks.\ He predicted that the Nixon administration would lose popu- larity during its final two years and that, while Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts would figure as a potential candidate in 1976, senators no longer would monopolize com- petition - for the: presidential nomination. O'Brien called Nixon's land- slide \an aberration, an occur- rence of the moment'\ and not \a final irrevocable develop- ment on the part of Democrats to commit their lives and their children's lives to the Republi- can party.\ His comments were made in an interview with UPI reporter George J. Marder. The national committee meet- ing here Dec. 9 perhaps may bring a showdown over replac- ing Mrs. Westwood, who is reported ready to fight to hold her job.: Her survival would depend much on McGovern's attitude, and her retention probably would bring a party blood-letting.. . Besides Crangle, one party source said Robert Strauss, former party treasurer, and retiring Gov. Warren E. Hearnes of Missouri are being discussed for the chairmanship. The selection of either of those two could push McGovern's left-wing backers toward for- mation of a new liberal party. Have A thuck'le e ' u ' 4 VALENCE, France. (UPI) - Detectives pondered a sticky one today. ~ Police said someone sto le a trailer-truck containing 3,535 pounds of chewing gum -- about 2 million sticks. SANDWICH BAY, England (UPI) - The River Stour Society said today it will investigate why some holiday= makers complained that the tan they took home from Sandwich Bay this summer washed off in the bath. \We think it may be dye from a new form of indus- trial effluent getting into the sea from the River Stour,\ said Society secretary Doune Gerber. .
