(UPD)- Two local department stores have filed a suit challenging the constitutionality of the state's \Blue Laws'\ banning Sunday sales. The suit appears to be based, at least in part, on arguments already considered by the state's highest court in a de- cision - earlier this - year upholding the legality of the con- -. troversial laws. The stores, White's Depart- ment Store and the Playtogs Factory Outlet, Inc., are seek- ing an order restraining the Orange County District Attorney from enforcing the laws so that they can remain open on the Sabbath. A show cause order is return- able Thursday in State Supreme Court in White Plains. The attorney for the stores said the blue laws violate the AM/FM Stereo Tuning Meter A.F.C. F.E.T.

Property now sold on Sundays in violation of the law may be confiscated by authorities. The suit contends that the pro- perty confiscation was \cruel and unusualpunishment,\ also banned by the Constitution, and that inequal enforcement of the laws violated the \equal pro- tection\ clause of the Constitu- tion. The suit said several stores in nearby Sullivan County remain open on Sundays with- out prosecution. The two stores have not been open on Sundays since late in 1971 when the county legislature passed a resolution urgint district attorney to enforce the laws.

ALBANY - In a study of statewide public authorities made public this week by State Comptroller Arthur Levitt shows the Genesee Valley Regional Market Authority at Henrietta has not paid any of the $2.2 million owed the State and the prospects for the repayment are doubtful. . The Genesee Valley Regional Marketing - Authority - was created by a special act of the legislature in 1951 to serve a nine- county area of Central-Western New York. The counties within the authority's sphere of operation are: Monroé, Ontario, Livingston, Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming, Steuben, Yates 'and parts of Wayne County. The original provisions of the Authority were increased in 1963 so that in addition to officiating as a marketing vehicle for far- mers in the prescribed area it might lease its properties for business, commercial or in- dustrial uses. The report states \In effect this amendment changed the concept of the Authority's operations from a farmers market to a multi- purpose rental operation.\ The Authority has, over the years, received various first instance appropriation authorizations. - Appropriations totaling $1,038,700 were made available in 1951 under the Agriculture and Markets Law. These appropriations, which were for construction and im- provements of market facilities have been fully expended, or lapsed. In addition the Authority has received first instance money to meet its annual deficits, the last appropriation was made in 1968 and was for $1,154,337. The Authority had no unexpended appropriation authorizations, and owes the state $2,231,234. (First instance money is so-called because it is advanced to a state created body and the state holds a prior claim against the agency or authority sx '270°° SUPPLY | | LIMITED \135 E.

The Levitt Report makes the following statement relative to the earnings of the Authority: \Over the past five years the Authority has increased its net revenues (before depreciation), In 1967 the Authority showed a loss of $3,534. By 1971 the Authority reported a profit of $87,421. This was caused, in part, by a 76 p.c. increase in gross revenues. After considering depreciation the Authority ex- perienced losses from 1967 through 1970, but showed a profit Original Debt Unpaid - in 197t. However, the 1971 profit reflects a change in accounting principles by which the Authority no longer depreciates its major assets. The Genesee Valley Regional Marketing Authority is one of 31 authorities whose business and financial standings are sum- marized in the study many of whom are earning considerable profits but who have not repaid the state the first instance monies that were advanced them when they were created. The report shows that of all statewide public authorities that aggregate Changed Our Life 25th Anniversary of The Miracle-Transistor NEW YORK (UPI) - Two days before Christmas 25 years ago a team of scientists at the Bell Laboratories announced a discovery that was to shake up the world's industries more than any invention since James Watt's steam engine. It was the transistor, the man -made crystal that amplifies and switches electronic current. Because it is so small that thousands of them can be put in an integrated circuit chip as tiny as a matchhead, the transistor has almost done away with weight and space problems for most industry. - The electronic computer might have remained a labora- tory toy except for the transistor. - The - Russians couldn't have put their Sputniks in orbit nor could the Ameri- cans have put men on the moon without the transistor. The transistor and the inte- grated circuit thus are the backbone of industries . with global sales approaching $15 billion a year. The United States alone turns out $9 billion of such products, including $2 billion worth of transistors and integrated circuits. The world's military and aerospace estab- lishments use at least $5 billion worth of devices dependent on these semiconductors as they are known in the trade. The transistor was invented by a team -composed of William - Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain. They were rewarded nine years later with a Nobel prize in physics. What they actually accomplished was to recognize the significance of the existence in semiconductive mineral erystals of two in- teracting energy levels. One energy carrier concentration held the crystal together while the other was free to do useful work. ' Semiconductors such as ger- ' manium and galena had been known for decades. Heinrich \ Hertz used them in the 19th century to prove physically the existence of radio waves. But no one realized they could be made to amplify current, thus _ doing useful work. So all early progress in electronics depended on the bulky vacuum tube invented in 1906 by Dr. Lee DeForest. Once the significance of the Shockley team's discovery was grasped, a huge semiconductor industry sprang up in the. United States. It was a rugged job scientifically speaking. Nevertheless, progress was UNITED NATIONS Se- curity C o un cil Président Mrs: Jeanne Martin Cisse wears peace symbol ear- rings and a pensive expres- sion as she presides over a session in New York.

The transistor and inte- grated circuit rapidly miniatur- ized the computer - and increased its capacity so that it could take over much of the detailed work in the world's industry, commerce, military logistics, scientific and medical research and education. It changed the businesses, occupa- tions and living habits of hundreds of millions. The pocket radio was the first consumer product based on the transistor.

The financial statement for the year 1971 of the Genesee Valley Regional Market Authority shows total assets of $4,829,000, outstanding bonds and notes, $1,917,000, excess of assets over - liabilities and reserves, $230,000, gross revenues, $517,000. graphs - and struments, recording - in- small video recorders, hearing aids, radar, sonar and loran navigation aids for boats, transistorized ignition that enables an automobile engine to go 50,000 miles between electrical tuneups, the new pocket calculating ma- chines and electronic watches, for example.

Hobby Trade Not A Penny-Ante Matter NEW YORK (UPI) -Mention the word \hobby\ and you may think of something enjoyable but not too significant. Business gets involved in hobbies because they seem to help employes be healthier, more efficient and happier- ...hence more productive. They act as escape valves for executive pressures. They even help compulsive eaters and drinkers stay away from tables and bars. . ~ Dr. Seymour Isenberg of Northvale, N.J. tries to help overweight people reduce through his Stained Glass Club which has 2,000 members across the country.
