| ps MB =s. . Le \ . How Wild Our Parks? There is more urgency than ever to re-emphasize this reminder, which seems fo have got lost in the mix-up of values concerning parklands. The reminder sums up an objective and penetrating study of national parks by the Conservation Foundation. Here are key questions it raised: Is the day nearing when private autos must be barred from national or even state parks? Should private exploitation be prohibited? Should there be a gradual elimination of inpark facilities run - by private - con- cessionaires? To what extent should the \forever wild\ concept be implemented? It might help to make the distinction between forest preserves and parks. Some limitations that would apply to the former would not be practicable for the latter. It would also help to remember that parks are - established for recreational and aesthetic reasons that are not necessarily served by commerciaisim. Their pur- pose is not to be urbanized or \civilized.\ In that vein the line must be drawn on excesses in autos, house - trailers, sports facilities, hotels, souvenir shops, - restaurants, - and carnival-like enterprises. In many parks there must be a moratorium on road- building, parking lots and other auto conveniences. Happily, other in-park means of transportation are being increasingly - used. - The Foundation forsees limiting autos to the park fringes. . How - much - wilderness should be preserved will always be debatable. Let's be thankful there is wilderness to squabble over and be sure there's some leff after the feuding. The whole question of degree and extent of ex- ploitation and wildness becomes a lot easier if we remember always that parks are supposed to serve people, not the almighty dollar. -ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT & CHRONICLE 2 Sue _- Homex Officers ROCHESTER, N. Y. (UPI) - Two irate stockholders Thurs- day accused officers of the Stirling-Homex. Corp. of partici- pating in a multi-million dollar fraud in the sale of stock in the nearly defunct firm which was once a leading manufacturer of modular homes. The two men, one from New Jersey and the other from Penn- sylvania, filed suit in federal court against 18 officers and stockholders, including David Stirling Jr., the former board chairman, and his brother Willi- am, the firm's former president. The class action alledges that on Feb. 19, 1970 the defendants sold 1,175,000 shares of common stock for $19,387,500. The firm's common stock now goes for 25 cents a share.

In other business last night at its regular monthly board session, town officials passed a resolution designed to \look into the possibility\ of installing a street light at the corner of Maple Ridge Road and Charles Street. The resolution followed an appearance of a group of Fur- ness Parkway residents who complained that the lack of any lighting fixture there made it difficult for motorists to \pick- up\ the turn. They said that in poor weather conditions even some long-time residents of the area ended up in private driveways when they attempted to negotiate a turn they could barely make out. The residents were supported in their plea by Shelby Highway Superintendent \Bud\ Howe who told the board that trying to find the turn in the winter especially in a snow storm was like \trying to find a needle in a haystack.\ Village officials were reluctant to give their outright approval for the light last night, although they appeared to be clearly in sympathy with the request. The Shelby board members said they would have to deter- mine how the light would be paid for ...a cost that residents and officials agreed last night would probably run anywhere from $40- $50 a year. The board also decided last night to hold a special \workshop\ session Saturday, Nov. 18 to evaluate four proposed amendments to the town zoning Driver Hospitalized After Crash Bernadette Marie Simpson, 19, of 225% South Ave. received personal injuries in a one-car accident at 2:40 a.m. this mor- ning. She was reportedly traveling north on West Ave. and started to make a left turn onto South Ave. and in doing so struck a telephone pole. She was taken to Medina Memorial Hospital suffering from pains of the right arm, head, chest and legs. Medina Police issued her a summons for being an unlicensed operator and hercar was towed away. Thursday at11:50 p.m. a car driven by Charles Petterson, 18, of 737 Church St. struck a telephone pole and fence post when his car left the road on Maple Ridge Rd. near Brown Rd. Into Pole while attempting to pass a vehicle driven by Gary L. Pratt of 130 Worthy Ave. Mr. Pratt was traveling west on Maple Ridge Rd. when a car passed at a high rate of speed, his car swayed, and the vehicle driven by Mr. Patterson was traveling along side of him off the south side of the road. Patterson stated that he started to pass another car and saw headlights coming towards him. He was tooclose to the car in frontof him to get back into his own lane so he swung to the south side and almost hit a post, swerved to avoid it andwent into a field on south side of Maple Ridge. There were no personal injuries reported and the Pat- terson car was towed away. Area Nurses Given Coronary Care Training Forty-two nurses from Orleans and nearby counties have completed a course in Basic Coronary Care and Basic Arrhythmias. _- The course was held in con- junction withthe Genesee Valley Heart Association and the Rochester Regional Medical Program. The course, consisting of 16 hours of instruction, was given at the Arnold Gregory and Medina Memorial Hospitals. \The nurses took the course on off duty time in order to increase their knowledge and to be of better service to the hospital and the community,\ said the Heart Assoc.

Waiters Walk Out NEW YORK (UPI) -Some of the best known restaurants in Manhattan were struck Thur- day by unionized waiters who walked off the job shortly before noon. Among the restaurants affect- ed were Delmonico's on Beaver Street. Miss Mary Tucci, the sister of the owner, said union officials entered the restaurant at lunchtime and ordered the waiters off the floor. , \We had to close down,\ she said. \After the waiters left, the barmen followed and then the kitchen workers.\ The walkout by members of Local 1, Hotel and Restaurant Employes Union, took place after stalemated contract talks with the New York League of Restaurants, which represents about 100 restaurants in the city. Fund Asks Week End 'Push' The $59,965 goal of the United Fund for Western Orleans is short by about $14,000, it was re-empha- sized this morning from the local headquarters. Mrs. Marian Goheen, ex- ecutive director, said, \We are going to fry a special all-out week end appeal and ask people to get all cards in by next Tuesday. This will tie in with Buf- falo's United Fund dead- line and the publicity be- ing given to it. \If they can make it by Tuesday, so can we here in Western Orleans. It means special effort by everybody, both workers and donors.\ ' She asked that week end contacts be made to clean up all pledge cards and contacts still incomplete.

Mrs. Westwood, McGovern's personal choice for chairman and the first woman to hold the job in either major party, threw down the gauntlet to her Growth of Hospital Reported to Chamber Medina Memorial Hospital will continue to grow and add to its services, but the future is like- ly to see more and more ties between city hospitals and those in smaller communities. This was one of the summation re- marks made last night as the Medina hospital board provided the program for Medina Cham- ber of Commerce. Mrs. Robert Waters, hospital board chairman, said, \There is no question fi any of our minds but that Medina Memorial will continue to grow and serve to the fullest. But don't be sur- prised in future years if a heli copter service picks up emerg- ency cases to take to city hos- pital centers. This is coming.\ She said the \satellite\ affili- ations between smaller com- munity hospitals and large city hospitals is already taking place. Medina Memorial has affiliated in this role with Millard Fill- more in Buffalo. | Local medical staff members are invited to attend meetings and seminars at Millard Fill- more and referpatientsfor spe- cialized services. Last night's Chamber of Com- merce meeting at the Apple Grove Inn provided an opportun- ity for the introduction of four new specialists added to the local hospital staff: Doctors Singson and Saludo, internists; Dr. Abbasey, surgeon, and Dr. Rho, obstetrician and gynecologist. These doctors and their wives were introduced by the chief of the medical staff, Dr. Har- vey Blanchet. John Hamilton, local hospital administrator reported on gen- eral hospital operations, saying that occupancy is now running at peak load, compared with half occupancy a year ago due to a shortage of doctors. The new - \multi-specialty\ medical group of fourdoctors is expected to move in another week to a building set up at the rear of the hospital and purchas- ed from the Northern Living- ston Health Center. It will act as a new local medical center and will free space now being utilized in the hospital for doc- tors' offices. ' Too often we take our hospi- tal for grant ters. \Newcomers to town want to know about taxes, residential areas, social life, but seldom take a tour of the hospital. They are welcome at any time.\ Elwyn Lindsay of the board traced the growth of the hospi- tal from a 9-bed institution in a remodeled private home in 1910 to a totally new 38-bed hos- pital in 1925 and today's 116-bed facility resulting from two major building additions. It was pointed out that there are over 200 employees and a budget of over $2million involv- ed inhospital operations. Mod- ern services and equipment are being added steadily, said the administrator \and we are now waiting for more new monitor- ing equipment for our coronary care unit.\ He said the need for equipment in a hospital never ceases. - In this same vein, John Zim- merman, board member in charge of memberships and gifts, appealed for people to set up endowments in wills, to use memorial gift cards available in funeral homes and at the hos- pital, and to support the mem- bership drive each year. \We dig down deep to support our ,.? said Mrs. Wa- - politicians, but are less aware of our hospital's financial needs. He said membership drives of the past two years have pro- duced about $5,000 each year and now there are 336 qualified voting members who have paid $10 or more in 1972. This will qualify them to vote at next January's annual meeting. It was also noted in the dis- cusion last night that due to week end coverage by hired medical help, the emergency room report shows over 1,000 more admissions this year than last. ' Medina Memorial Hospital, it was said, serves a hospital com- munity of 29,000 people in six townships of Western Orleans and Eastern Niagara. Water Break Repaired by Cooperation SHELBY - Election day here in the Town of Shelby turned out to be a little bit wet at the in- tersection between West Avenue and South Main Streets, the Shelby To oard was told last night. Highway Superintendent \Bud'' Howe told local officials that at about noon that day he received a visitor from the telephone company who in- formed him that a company work crew had apparently broken a town water line at the in- tersection. According to officials, it seems that the crew had been sent in to replace a telephone pole knocked down earlier in a motor vehicle accident. In the course of their effort to relocate the pole, their digging went right through a pipe in Shelby's spanking new water district system. \If it hadn't been for the cooperation of the Village of Medina, we wouldn't have gotten that break fixed anywhere near the time it took us...one hour and fifteen minutes,\\ Howe said. Howe said the break required the use of special tools and parts to repair the pipeline. Accordingly, Howe asked the town board if he could obtain permission to keep a supply of the necessary parts and tools on hand in case of any future breaks. The board gave its permission. Howe also urged the board not to bill the telephone company for anymore than the time spent working on the break by an area engineer who was apparently called in. Howe said town crews in the past had damaged telephone company lines in the course of their regular work routines -- cutting tree limbs, etc....and the . company had never billed the town. He also pointed out that highway laws apparently require the town to pay the company when it is asked to move poles back off roads for highway widening work. He said the company had never sent a bill to the town.

Buffalo: NEW YORK {(UPI) - New York State Democratic Chair- man Joseph Crangle Thursday disavowed interest in becoming national party chairman, but said that because of President Nixon's landslide re - election \we have to make some changes nationally.\ \I have no desire to be na- tional chairman,\ Crangle said in a news conference at the Democratic party's headquar- ters. But he said that he would like any new national chairman to be a New Yorker. -> Crangle has been mentioned as a possible successor to the present national chairman, Jean Albion to | Spur U.F. Effort ALBION - Around 80 per cent of the $61,761 goal of the Eastern Orleans United Fund is reported \in hand\ or on workers' pledge cards today. But the fund's office stressed that the final 20 per cent is tfining to be an \all-out difficult JO n. Mrs. Dorothy Ross, executive director, said the fund hopes to have the total goal reached by the end of November as the \absolute final\ date and earlier if possible. \But the cards still out indicate that a big effort will have to be . staged to make our goal,\ she said. It might even mean some. call-backs in hopes of increases, . she said. \We stress that everyone not yet on record should increase gifts as much as possible.\ Lack of a stable employment picture has made the U.F. drive - difficult here in the past two years, but the situation is brighter, especially with new. jobs in promise and the re- opening of the state institution. Henry Lehning is general chairman of the 1973 United Fund in the eastern Orleans area. . The $61,761 goal covers 11 agencies, Red Cross, scouting organizations, Arnold Gregory Hospital, Salvation Army, YMCA, USO, Cerebral Palsy, Assoc. for Children With Lear- ning (Disabilities, Lakeside Memorial Hospital at Brockport and the County Mental Heal Chapter. .

Roy-Hart Cafeteria Flooded MIDDLEPORT-Sewage back- ed up and flooded the Royalten- Hartland Central School cafe- teria and kitchen, Wednesday. A school spokesman, here said a large object, believed to be a towel apparently was flushed down the school drain and lodged in a main sewer line about 75 feet from the building. ~ The trouble occured about 11:45 a.m., Wednesday, & a Niagara County health depart- ment was making a routine check of school health facilities., _- Jan L. Allen, an environmental health technician, said he found the sewage backing up into the, kitchen,. He immediately order- ed the cafeteria and kitchen closed and the sewer lines clean- ed. out. Mr. Allen said crews found \something like a towel\; lodged in the sewer line. He said school janitorial crews worked the rest of the day and night cleaning up the cafeteria and kitchen with bleach and other disinfectants. Edwin Sanderson, school prin- cipal, said it was the-first time! this year that a sewage backup had occurred. He admitted that similar conditions occured \a couple of times\ last year. Mr. Sanderson said that fol- lowing the cafeteria closing - which he insisted was done on school orders and not on county health department orders, sand- wiches, apples and milk were brought in from the nearby New-! fane elementary school. School lunch was served in the gym- nasitim, he said. Mr. Sanderson said some chil- dren asked to leave school fol- lowing the backup, \and I wasn't; in any mood to argue.\ He said that the school has over 1,600 students. . Both school officials and health department officials said the' cafeteria was approved for serv- ing school lunches Thursday following the disinfecting oper- ations. Mr. Allen said he order- ed all food destroyed in the cafeteria, Wednesday. Have A Chfickle {n. SAN DIEGO; Calif. (UPI)-Lovers have been accused of wearing their hearts on their sleeves.
