Beaver Moon Tonight (Nov. 20) brings the Beaver Moon, the full moon of November. The naming goes back to the Indians and frontiersmen, and it has a double meaning. One was that by now the beaver pelts were prime for the trapper ; and the other was that the beaver now sets an example for the provident man to follow. By late November, any outdoorsman - knew, - the beavers in any pond had made sure their dams were sound, their houses snug and their supply of birch and poplar billets were safely anchored where they could reach it under the ice for winter food. And any countryman with sense enough to watch a beaver, had his own house snugged and provisioned by now. Winter didn't wait for late December and the solstice, and the provident man knew he wouldn't have much chance after Thanksgiving to prepare for what December, January and usually February as well would 'bring. Even March wasn't what you would call a carefree month for the countryman. The weather has somewhat changed over the years, but the Beaver Moon of late November hasn't really lost its meaning. By now the mellow days of autumn are behind us. The cold rains of this November-which would have buried us had they been snow-will - soon - enough become the drifts of winter. Indian Summer intervals have passed. Ahead lie the Cold Full Moon of December and the Wolf Moon of January. That is what fonight's Full Beaver Moon has to tell those who are listening. -NEW YORK TIMES Fund: Slowly Rises \This is Thanksgiving week and we ask that everybody give thanks for a fine com- munity and support the United Fund.\ So stated Campaign Director William Bellavia to- day as the local U.F. dragged slowly and painfully to the 90 p.c. mark. The deadline for completion is now one week late, but strenuous efforts are being put into an extension of the drive. | \We have reached the point of $53,500, or about 90 p.c. of the $59,965 goal,\ said the chairman. \This means that the final 10 p.c. is going to be a matter of hard, tough dig- ging. The workers are doing a good job; we hope the pub- lic will respond.\ He said about $3,000 more is expected from the Indus- trial Division under John L. Thompson. \He has promised to get us $3,000 more, but that still leaves a good gap before we reach a victory,\ said Bellavia. He pointed out that not only do scouting organizations, Red Cross, and some national health groups benefit, but lo- cal mini league baseball pro- grams, youth groups and the ambulance replacement fund are part of U.F. \Success in our drive is ab- solutely a must,\ he conclud- ed.

Farmer's Leg Removed A 33-year-old Medina farmer whose leg was amputated yesterday after it was mangled by a power takeoff mechanism on a tractor he was using to pick corn was in satisfactory con- dition this morning at Medina Memorial Hospital. George Wolter, 12459 W. Lee Rd., Medina, was taken to Medina Memorial where Dr. Harvey Blanchet removed the right leg at the knee. A spokesman for the Orleans County Sheriff's Department reported that Wolter was working on the Karl Moden farm at 3828 Yates Nuclear Site App NEW YORK - The New York State Atomic and Space Development Authority today issued the following summary of the progress of its State-wide power plant siting program, including the announcement of three major actions. These actions, which cover a wide geographic area, are: -Designation of a new site on Western Lake Ontario as suitable for nuclear power development. -The undertaking of broad- based environmental studies of the mid-Hudson region. -The undertaking of marine environmental studies looking to the desirability of offshore nuclear power plant siting. Under the State Power Program, the Authority a non- profit public berefit corporation created by the State, is assigned responsibilities in connection with the - selection _ and development of sites for future nuclear generation facilities with special emphasis on serving such vital public interests as health, conservation, recreation and sound community development. The Authority has determined that a site on the shore of Lake Ontario in the Town of Yates in Orleans County is suitable to serve as a location for future nuclear power development. The selection follows State- wide analysis to determine the areas in the State most suited to future power development as well as a year of on-site studies by the Authority. Evaluations were made of the site's geology, seismology and aquatic biology and preliminary plans for the site's - development - were prepared with benefit of con- sultation - with - concerned Federal, State and local agen- cies, meetings with local of- ficials, conservation and civic groups as well as discussion with general public at a well attended public meeting held at Lyn- donville, N.Y., a short distance from the site. The site comprises ap- proximately 1000 acres of which it is anticipated that ap- proximately 100-300 acres would be directly utilized for power facilities and the remainder would be devoted to conservation and recreational activities of the type described in the Site Development Plan which the Authority has prepared and distributed. _ The Authority is initiating action leading to the develop- ment and preparation of the site . to assure the availability of this highly suited location to meet Fruit Ave. about 5 p.m. when the tractor rig he was using became stuck. With help from Moden using another tractor, the vehicle was pulled out. Wolter then repor- tedly climbed to the back of the tractor to remove the chain used in pulling. His trouser leg was apparently caught in the power takeoff, a belt mechanism used to supply power to the corn picker. Authorities said the victim's right leg was pulled into the machinery at that point and mangled severely enough to require that it be removed. future power needs and to fur- ther the development of con- servation and recreational op- portunities which the Authority's planning indicates the site can provide. In furtherance of this ob- jective, the Authority has directed - Bristol, - Leaver, Litynski, Tarbox and Moore, a firm of ecological analysts, landscape - architects - and planners, to prepare - a recreational - and - natural resources management plan for the site and is making provision for the continuation of the aquatic environmental research work which the Lake Ontario Environmental - Laboratory initiated there over a year ago for the Authority. This is the second site deter- mined to be suitable for nuclear power plant development under the Authority's program. The first, located in the Town of Sterling in Cayuga County, was German party for the first time since World War II. The largest voter turnout-90 per cent of the electorate-in the 23-year history of the West German republic returned Brandt and his coalition to office Sunday with a new, increased majority. It was a personal triumph and a ringing endorsement of his policies of peace and good neighbor relationships in Eu- rope. \Our country's voice has won increased weight in the world,\ Brandt said after the results showed he scored his greatest political triumph. His voice cracked with emotion and tears filled his eyes. The official final results showed the Social Democrats gaining 17,166,952 votes, or 45.9 per cent, an increase of 3.4 per cent over the Brandt-led party showing in 196. The main opposition Christian Democrats - finished - with 16,794,407 votes or 44.8 per cent while the Free Democrats, allies of Brandt in parliament, finished with 3,128,621 votes or 8.4 per cent. It meant 230 seats in the Bundestag for the Social Democrats, 224 for the Chris- tian Democrats and 42 for the Free Democrats No other party won a seat. The Communists, the right- wing National Democratic par- ty and other splinter groups managed to attract only one per cent of the vote among them. so identified earlier this year and similar - natural - resources development - and - aquatic biological studies were initiated there. On Nov. 6, 1972 the Authority and the Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation reached agreement whereby the utility will assume responsibility for land acquisition and site development for a proposed power plant to be built by RG&E at Sterling. The Authority also announced the undertaking of studies in the mid-Hudson region. Evaluations of a broad range of potential locations are being performed by the Authority staff as well as by the Authority's consulting agronomist, Mr. Wallace E. Washbon, Special Assistant to the Commissioner of the State Department of Agriculture and Markets and an authority on agricultural land use and by the applied earth sciences consulting fi of Students Say 'Massacre' BATON ROUGE, La. (UPI) -Southern University students who have protested school policies for three weeks said Sunday they overheard sheriff's officers say they were going to \put an end to this mess\ the day two students were killed in a confrontation with police. Gov. Edwin Edwards, East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Al Amiss and school President G. Leon Netterville have denied there was any plan to force a showdown with the demonstrat- ing students. The charges Sunday were in a statement prepared by the Southern University-New Or- leans Student Government As- sociation. The demonstrations had been most severe on the New Orleans campus, but shifted to the Baton Rouge campus Thursday when students took over the adminis- tration building. When officers began lobbing tear gas into the crowd of students, several of the young persons ran. Two died and one was wounded « \The entire massacre was premeditated,\ the student government statement said. \Students who were at the jail house attempting to get the student leaders out of - jail Planned overheard the sheriff specifical- ly state: 'I am getting tired of those niggers. We are going to put an end to this mess today !'\ Lefkowitz Wants Organic Food Study ALBANY, N. Y. (UPTD) -Attor- ney General Louis J. Lefkowitz said Sunday night his office plans a public hearing next month to study the content and pricing of so - called \organic foods.\ Lefkowitz said his office would also attempt to determine wheth- er there is fraudulent activity involved in the sale and promo- tion of such foods. The hearing will be held Dec. 1 in New York City. Testimony during the hearing will include the views of nutri- tion experts, food inspectors from the New York City area and officials of the State De- partment of Agriculture and Markets. Lefkowitz said the hearing will discuss whether such foods are pesticide free, whether natural food is free of additives as some claim, wheth- er it is overpriced and whether there is particular nutritional value in organic foodstuffs.

Kissinger Pledges to Stay Long as Needed _ By GEORGE SIBERA PARIS (UPI) -Presidential adviser Henry A.. Kissinger and North Vietnam's Le Duc Tho resumed their secret peace talks today with expressions of optimism that they would reach early agreement to end the Vietnam War soon. But there were signs of discontent from Saigon and an angry outburst from the Viet Cong. Saigon dispatches indicated Driver Charged With Striking Four Gars A 30-year-old local man, David Beaver, 131 W. Oak Orchard St., has been charged with several counts of leaving the scene of accidents and also with driving while intoxicated. The charges result from a series of related incidents which police are in- vestigating and which reportedly happened between 6:30 and 7 p.m. Friday evening. Mr. Beaver, a teacher in local schools, was arrested by Medina Police Dept. very shortly after the alleged hit-run incidents and was reportedly given a \breathalyzer\ test at police headquarters after consulting with an attorney. No injuries, but assorted property damage resulted from the series of crashes. Police said the first took place around 6:45 on West Center St. near Dames & Moore which has prepared preliminary geological assessments of potentially suitable locations and is is now initiating a geological boring program in furtherance of its geologic and seismo-tectonic analysis. Concurrently, the en- vironmental engineering firm of Quirk, Lawler and Matusky has prepared for the Authority an analysis of existing and planned thermal discharges to the Hudson River indicating that there is only limited additional opportunity for flow-through cooling in connection with new power facilities in the Hudson River area. The firm is engaged in studies for the Authority of the environmental aspects of with- drawing water from the River to meet the makeup requirements of evaporative power plant cooling systems, and in evaluations of other en- vironmental aspects of the operation of such systems. Catherine St. as Beaver was heading east and passing a car driven by Janet Stein, 201 Park Ave. He allegedly struck the Stein car, then hit an oncoming car in the other lane, driven by Carey English of 59 Main St., Middleport. Continuing - on, - Beaver allegedly then struck a parked car owned by John L. Thompson of 316 W. Center St., and finally is said to have driven to Orient St. and hit a parked car in front of 730 Orient, and owned by Gwendolyn Hibbard of 702 Orient. Considerable damage was reported to all cars. _ The defendant was arrested at his home, police reported. After booking and questioning, he was released without bail to appear in court here on Nov.25. roved As is the Authority's policy, no decision with respect to the suitability of any location will be made until the Authority and its advisory Siting Committee have had benefit of the results of the extensive environmental, site development and community planning information now being developed as part of the foregoing work and other studies now being initiated. The work will be performed in conjunction with continued and intensive consultation with Federal, State, regional and local planning organizations and concerned environmental, - civic - and community groups. The results of all of the foregoing work will be published and widely distributed and discussed at a public meeting held near any site shown to merit serious consideration. Only after this process has been completed, will the Authority reach a decision as to the suitability of such a site. Driver Stops for a Train But ALBION - An 18-year-old Med! youth, riding as a passenger in a car struck .in the rear by a Niagara Falls driver Saturday night here, was taken to Arnold Gregory Memorial Hospital for \minor whiplash\ authorities reported. Leroy Brady, Church Street, Medina, was riding in a car driven by Lonnie L. Taylor, 28, of 118 Starr St., Medina, as it ap- proached a railroad crossing on the Gaines Basin Road, one- quarter mile north of Rt. 31. As the car stopped for an ap- proaching train, an auto driven by Joseph Posey, 27, of 616 Fifteenth St., Niagara Falls, apparently struck the vehicle in the rear. No other injuries were reported. Earlier that day, a car driven by a 45-year-old Holley woman, Stella Palmer, of Glidden Road, skidded 18 feet as it attempted to miss another vehicle turning into a driveway off Rt. 237 in the Town of Clarendon, one-half mile south of the Hinds Road. A spokesman for the Orleans County Sheriff's Department said the Palmer car struck a vehicle drimen by William R. Causyn, 20, of 803 Lake Rd., South, Brockport. No injuries were reported. Early Sunday morning, a 19- Gets Hit year-old Holley driver, Randall J. Quarantello, Bennett's Cor- ners Rd., apparently fell asleep at the wheel of his car in the Town of Clarendon, hit a snow bank, and flipped over. Authorities said the driver, traveling north on the Upper Holley Road, three-quarters of a mile south of Rt. 31A, escaped injury, however. Friday afternoon, a Medina man received a facial laceration when he lost control of his vehicle as he was turning onto Fruit Avenue off Rt. 31E in the Town of Shelby. ' Authorities said Martin R. Smith, 10364 Ridge Rd., Medina hit a canal bridge near the in- tersection between Fruit Avenue and Rt. 31E. Authorities said he was taken to Medina Memorial Hospital. Friday evening, Antoinette Payne, 36, of 9767 Haight Rd., Barker, was charged with unsafe backing after the car she was negotiating out of the parking lot of the Half Moon Restaurant in Ridgeway struck another vehicle. Authorities said the other car, parked on the south side of Rt. 104, 200 feet west of Rt. 63, was owned by Glenn L. Walter, E. Shelby Rd., Medina. No injuries were reported. President Nguyen Van Thieu was not budging from his previous views, and the Viet Cong delegation in Paris issued what it called an official statement accusing President Nixon of bluffing about peace, demanding the resignation of Thieu and no changes in the draft cease-fire agreement. It said U.S. arms shipments to Indochina also endangered peace. |_ _ . The start of the talks was announced by the North Vietna- mese delegation, the first time it has done so while the talks actually were going on. The U.S. delegation to the regular peace talks would not comment and said any announcement would have to come from the White House. Kissinger and Hanoi negotia- tors Tho and Xuan Thuy issued optimistic statements on the outcome of what is expected to be the last negotiating session. Kissinger said he would stay in Paris as long as necessary to work out a settlement with Hanoi. ° I \If our North Vietnamese interlocutors have come here in the same spirit of understand- ing and flexibility which cha- racterized our meetings in October, a rapid settlement of the war is probable,\ Kissinger said upon his arrival Sunday from Washington. \ Tho said if there was good will on both sides the new talks could result in an early peace. Tho arrived Friday from Hanoi via Peking and Moscow, and Communist diplomats in Paris said the Soviets and possibly the Chinese had urged him to use moderation. There were indications the talks would last several days. Kissinger's special U.S. -Air Force plane flew to a U.S. base in West Germany, ready to return to Paris when he asks for it. Kissinger has kept it at Orly Field during brief negoti- ating. sessions. In Saigon, the newspaper Tin Song, which frequently reflects the views of President Nguyen Van Thieu, reported today U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker briefed the South Vietnamese president Sunday on the Ameri- can proposals for the latest Paris talks. Tin Song (Live News) is financially backed by Thieu's nephew 'and closest adviser, Hoang Duc Nha. . The newspaper did not report details of the allied plan but added: \The position of the Republic of Vietnam with regard to the negotiations remains the same -it is just and logical. \Thus all peace treaties must follow the principles put forth by the Republic of Vietnam. Any change in view to break the deadlock must come first from the Communists.\ Tin Song also said its source reported the South Vietnamese government continues to de- mand direct negotiations. Ride Through Trees Injures Three People ALBION - A bruising ride off the highway through an area of trees was the unhappy adven- ture of a carload of young peo- ple in the Town of Albion west of the village last night. State Police have charged the driver, Jerry S. Brower, 20, of 4547 E. Shelby Rd., Medina, with \driving while intoxicated and . at speed not reasonable and prudent.\ He is expected to be arraigned here today before Justice Paganelli. Troopers of the local substa- tion said Brower was \going at an apparent high rate of speed\ on Route 31 about a quarter mile west of Allen Bridge Rd. at about 10:15 last night. He apparently lost control on the snow-covered road, skidded off and traveled about 200 feet through trees, striking one of them. He suffered possible leg injuries and was taken to Arn- old Gregory Hospital. A passenger, John Herring, RD 4, Albion, reportedly had a broken leg and possible injuries to the other leg. Another passenger, Norman Farewell, 9986 Ridge Rd., Mid- dleport, had cuts of the face, head and hands. 6 Lockport Developer Has Downtown Renewal Plan LOE€KPORT - Friday a loca, developer, Elmer A. Granchelli, made known his plans to place a huge 187-unit, 12-story apartment building on the north side of Main St. where a row of old sub- standard stores have been torn. down under urban renewal. The spot is between the Bewley Bldg. on the east end and the M&T Bank building on the west. These two were the only struc- tures left standing in the entire block. Most of the retailers had moved out long ago when demolition was first planned. Developer Granchelli, who has completed other projects in the city under renewal, calls for both - public and private financing. The ultra-modern apartment building would be set back along the canal and fronted by a park Have _. 1nis park would have an overlook with a view of the historic canal. Beneath the ground level would be a 4-level parking garage for 750 cars. The: land parcel which Granchelli hopes to use for the project measures 90,000 square feet. The Urban Renewal Agency has not taken any action yet on the proposal. There may be talks with the Lockport Housing Authority on the matter. Also, a different proposal for the land may come from Charles Bewley, . it was revealed. Granchelli said \down-town > Lockport\ must be building for 50 to 100 years ahead and parking 'is still an important factor, along with open space. A Chuckle . .. MOSCOW (UPI) - A computer just wouldn't give a straight answer to a woman. The Tass news agency said today the machine at the Novosibirsk computing center unfailingly gave cor- rect answers to male mathematicians. As soon as a wo- man approached it, the computer \began to give wrong or absurd answers,\ Tass said. It turned-out to be women's clothes that did the trick. Tass said, \Synthetic fibers produced an electric field which affected the computer's performance.\ «cov mre mnibessnna meas aman BRISBANE, Calif. (UPI)-A duck used to rip shingles- off roofs, chew them and drop the pieces all over. \people don't like that kind of thing,\ said policeman Steven Stanton. So, during the weekend, the duck had its wings clipped. If that doesn't solve the problem, said Stanton, \We're hoping for duck season.\
