Final copies of the 40-page booklet are ex- pected to be ready next week when the booklet is formally introduced to the Orleans County business community, political leaders and the general public at a reception next Tuesday, April 12 in Albion. The booklet was paid for through a combination of local advertising and a matching grant from the State Depart- ment of Commerce and its \I Love New York\ campaign. Tourism Board chairman Hugh James said that after a slow start, local merchants threw their full support behind the brochure g the goal of $11,800 set by the state in order to receive a similar amount in a matching grant. Total advertising sales in the county have reached the $15,000 mark, James said A total of 20,000 booklets will be produced for distribution throughout the county, the immediate area including Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Rochester and other areas throughout the state. James said a majority of the books will be banded out through businesses which advertised in the book while Marine Midland Bank and McDonald's Restaurants have agreed to Lacking Party in Rochester and Niagara Falls will receive some copies as will tour operators throughout the region. Additional copies of the book will also be sent to the state for the \I Love New York\ campaign while copies have been requested by - the Thousand Islands Chamber of Commerce. \The booklet is being well received locally and out the state,\ James ‘ThereTs no doubt in my mind that this booklet is a fine representation of Orleans County. It shows the amount of hard work that went into the book by the members of the committee and the support of the county's business com- munity.\ Medina Chamber of Com- merce President Margaret Krozel said she was \pleased\ with the book and called it \an improvement\ over the first tourism book which was published in April 1981. \We were able to take the first book and improve on it,\ Krozel % said. \The first book was a good start and gave us a solid base to build the second book from. I am pleased with the result, but even more pleased with the support the book recieved from the business people in the county. The economy is down, but still the business banded together to support us;\ \We had marvelous support from everyone involved from all over $3 county,\ Krozel said. ''The towns, the Cooperative Ex- tension and the' County Planning Department were all very helpful. This is truly a county-wide booklet because everybody pitched in.\ With a strong base to start from, the new booklet has several significant changes to better the attractions the county has to offer. A complete description of the Cobblestone complex and the Orieans County Courthouse square are included in the new book along with an ar- chitectural tour of Medina and a special center spread on agriculture -in the county highlighting the \U-Pick\ farms. \The wpick farms are a good way to get people to come out from the cities,\ James said. \People like fresh fruit and vegetables and we have a large number of places where people can go.\ In addition, the booklet has a sizable emphasis on fishing and tion along with a ed business directory listing all the firms who ad- vertised. James said that by having the directory, tourists will have an easier time locating business they wish to frequent. However, the tourism board's work is not yet done as a series of television com- + mercials is scheduled to begin airing on WOKR-TV in Rochester later this month. James also said work will begin soon to continue the program next year to attempt to attract tourists and possibly jobs to Orleans County. Discrimination Charges Called 'Without Merit BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPI) - Buffalo school officials are stunned and dismayed over a sex discrimination complaint brought by the U.S. Justice Department which accuses the Board of Education of dis- criminating against pregnant employees.

The pilots were encouraged by the upbeat reports from NASA officials who feared yearly Tuesday that the $100 Won tracking and data relay satellite was lost because of a misbehaving rocket tug. Robert E. Smylie, an associ- ate NASA administrator, said it appeared the satellite will be. able to move slowly to the proper orbit.

Investor Service Refuses to - Upgrade State's Credit Ratmg a ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) - The state goes to market today for $4 billion in short-term bor- rowing, but with a lower credit rating than officials had hoped. Moody's Investors Service citing continued '\'vulnerability' - in - state finances, refused Tuesday to upgrade New York's rating from the grade 2 rating it imposed in November. That could force the state to pay millions of dollars more in interest than it had hoped. Comptroller Edward Regan was scheduled today to find out the interest rate the state will pay' to borrow $4 billion so it can provide school aid and other payments early in the fiscal year. The borrowing is to be finalized April 14. When Gov. Marto Cuorno and legislative leaders announced general agreement on the $31.7 billion state budget in March, the governor said he hoped the plan would be \a rater's delight.\ Moody's had dropped the New York credit rating to grade 2 from grade 1 in November, two days after Standard and Poor's lowered the state's rating to its lowest point ever. The Standard and Poor'srating was dropped from AA-minus to A-plus as .the service criticized a number of state financial practices. In keeping the grade 2 rating PLO Urges Reagan Compromise on Mideast theFuresolxmm-zsasa mmwa Bark and Gare Sirlp. in assormtan a** Tuesday, Moody's said, \Vul- nerability remains in the narrowness of the financial plan's balance, the postpone- ment of some obligations to the following year, and the uncer- tainty of total revenue pay- ment.\ That was an apparent refer- ence to doubts raised over whether some taxes imposed under the budget - including a gross receipts tax on oil companies and a capital gains tax on major real estate transactions - will earn the state as much as projected. The state traditionally puts off the bulk of its promised education aid into the following fiscal year. Regan said although the state did not win an upgrading of the state's credit rating, he be- lieved Moody's had made some \'very positive\ statements in regard to the state's enactment of a budget by the April 1 deadline. “£1 Cuomo spokeswoman Betsy \3 Weiss echoed Régan's state- '/ ment that the. state must continue to Show fiscal disci- pline. Regan had declared the governor's proposed budget as \tightly balanced\ early in March, and Ke reiterated that view Tuesday. A Regan spokeswoman said an improvement in a state bond rating generally comes slower than a downgrading, because bond raters must be convinced of improvements in the state's fiscal condition. The state last year borrowed $3.5 billion at 8.38 percent interest, meaning it paid about $200 million in interest In January the state borrowed $500 million at 5.06 percent interest - a sharp drop due to improvements in the market Legislature Slates 1st April ALBION - The Orleans County Legisiature will con- duct its first meeting of the month Thursday, April 7 at 7-3 p.m. in the legislative chambers on the secand floor of the County Clerk's Building. One of the topics of discussion is expected to be a recent $50,000 grant from the state for development of parking facilities in the Point Breeze area. The money, which was included by Sen Jotn B. Daly (Rist Lewiston) and Assemblyman R. Stephen Hawley (R-137th Batavia) in the 1953-84 state budget, was originally thought to be targeted for the development of state-cwned lands on the western shore of Oak Orchard Creek st Post Breeze However Legisiatare chairman Dick Eddy said that recent conversations with Sen. Daly showed fhat the fonds are not for the state land, but for the H-scre tract the coorty has leased from the state under the Meeting and develop boat launching facilities along with a small marina, parking, and other items. Some county officials will tour the site tomorrow and review the proposals received and its plans for the site's development. It is said that the $50,000 in state money would be used to aid in the development by a private firm. purchase of an excavator for the county highway depart ment Eddy said at least six bids bave been received for both a new and used mackine to replace the county's carreat piece of equipment which is 7 years old.
