The organization, which has been an influencing factor in the city for the past 65 years, is relinquishing its claim to provin- cialism and has now joined with LeRoy in a new civic-business oriented group to be known as Gene- see County Chamber of Commerce. The iwo chambers, Batavia and LeRoy, have become a party to the modern concept, as well as practice of living. No longer can any person Or organization place a finger down and say here my influence starts or stops. Thinking and family living is being done in a broader arena. The Gene- see chambers recognizing this are erasing corpor- ate community lines and placing their stresses on a county-wide approach. We are wondering if the communities of Me- dina and Albion are adult enough to take a simi- lar step. It will take a bit more give and take than in Genesee County because the two villages are nearer in size and have stronger roots; It is a thought, as the regional approach prevails in Or- leans as well as in other counties, Some day we are all going to be big enough to recognize it, YOUTH TO PRESENT CASE The substative matter of several of the bills to be discussed when some 300 high school students meet in Albany this week-end to debate and vote upon 54 proposed measures at the 37th New York State YMCA Youth and Government Conference connotes the \age of permissiveness.\ Among the proposed bills, written and re- searched by the student legislators are. the follow- ing: make Afro-American studies mandatory in public high schools, provide for the legal distribu- tion of birth control devices to minors, legalize gambling of all forms, make New York City the Sist state, amend the election laws, legalize the 2 MEDINA JOURNAL-REGISTER WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1972) Washington Windqw Nixon Delights in Shifting Gov't Gears ing mostly the same, most significant changes will come at the sub-Cabinet level -the undersecretaries and assistant and deputy assistant secrétar- ies who are really the backbone of the government. By EUGENE V. RISHER WASHINGTON (UPI) Backstairs at the White House: President Nixon, a man with a passion for tinkering with the machinery of government, has spentthe past month reshaping the bureaucracy for his second * term in office. Its shape has been only partially discernible so far, but some characteristics are ap- parent. _ For one thing, the same team of managers who operated much of the government during Nixon's first four years in office will, with a _ few exceptions, still be around. Top Level Unchanged Many already have been tapped to move to new jobs - like Elliot L. Richardson from Health, Education and Welfare to the Defense Department, and Caspar W. Weinberger from the Office of Management and Budget in the White House to tage' over Richardson's HEW job. But the top level at the White Vietnam -- That Never By PHIL NEWSOM From the beginning, the war in Vietnam has been - a contradiction, the greatest being that officially it never was a war at all. And to call the Paris negotiations \peace talks\ is to contradict what actually is taking place. In Paris, pres- idential adviser Henry A. Kissinger is seeking a cease- fire and a way to extricate American soldiers with honor from a situation which many believe they never should have had to endure in the first place. House -HR. Haldeman as chief of staff and alter-ego to the President, John D. Ehrlich: man as the chief domestic adviser and Henry A. Kissinger as chief shaper of foreign policy -will be the same. Peter M. Flanigan will continue as the presidential aide in charge of liaison with business groups, Press Secre- tary Ronald L. Ziegler will stay on and William Timmons will continue - as Nixon's - chief liaison with Congress. Only about four new faces are expected at the top levels of the government -in the Cabinet and in the higher echelons of the White House staff. | Roy L. Ash, a California industrialist, is being brought in to take over Weinberger's old job of shaping the budget and monitoring spending programs. New York labor leader Peter Brennan has been named labor secretary and there will be a couple of others. Nixon Serves Notice But with the top-level remain- The War Was! convinced at last of U.S. determination to extricate itself from Vietnam, he also has moved to adjust to the new situation. - As to Communist intentions of observing a cease-fire, Thieu declared in a speech Oct. 24: \If the Communists use knives, we will use pistols.

The suspicion persists that the President does not want any more new concepts. He already knows what he wants to do with his next four years in office and is trying to find the people to carry out his wishes. States. Fifteen Years Ago Mrs. Henry Pollard of W.

One of the established necessities of the state legislature which is being incorporated into the four-day session of the YMCA sponsored deliber- ation program is a Press Corps. This also will be comprised of students who will work with the pro- fessional press and act as reporters for their com- munity newspapers, television and radio stations. We note that there is no reference to provision for a lobbying segment. Should the young legislators be free from the pressures of self-interest individ- uals, it will be most unlike the regular sessions of the elected legislators, but will free the young hope- fuls to vote according to their own resolves devoid of the extrancous suggestions of those with an ulterior mission. . 7 The agenda of the Youth Government Con- ference is interesting. The results of the delibera- tions will be awaited with equal issue. The Lighte Side By DICK WEST United Press International . WASHINGTON - (UPI) Granted that your Malthuses, your Keyneses and your other economic theorists make good dinner conversation.

But no more so are orders reported by American intel- ligence officers to have gone 'out to the Viet Cong and the peace could be described as an absence of fighting. . - - But even that could be a long way off for the Vietnamese people who in the last 30 years have known little of it. Circumstances Demand The Paris talks have porduced the further - contradiction | that they have made relations between President Nixon and South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu something less than friendly although circumstances demand that they continue to be allies.
