Some action on the Contento property between Route 11 and Interstate 81 in the Town of Cort-landville. just outside Homer, a proposed site for a county refuse shredder operation, is expected this afternoon. The county's option to purchase the property expires this month.

The local law supporting the establishment of a refuse shredder specified that the Legislature's solid waste committee further investigate and recommend the equipment

The law was passed bv a weighted vote of 412 to 48. The only Legislators voting against were Mrs. Ruth Schaub of District 19 (the city's 8th Ward^ and Mrs. Elizabeth Brevett of District 17 (the city's 6th Ward).

The proposed refuse shredder has been the topic of serval studies over the past three to four years and, in spite of the fact that the measure was proposed two weeks ago, several Legislators still seemed to be in the dark about the whole thing.

Mrs. Ariie Braman Succumbs Tuesday

Mrs. Arlie Braman, 89, for­merly of Front Street, Marathon, died yesterday in James Square Nursing Home, Syracuse. She was the widow of Vernon Braman.

For the past four years Mrs. Braman had lived with her son, Roland Braman. at 225 Warner Ave., Syracuse.

She was born Oct. 23, 1884 in Marathon, the daughter of D. Barnard and Phoebe Adams Wilson.

In addition to her son, she is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Louise Robinson of Binghamton: two grandchildren, Gary Robinson of Marathon and Donald Barnes of Canandaigua; a sister, Mrs. Louise Jones of Phoenix, Ariz.: and two brothers, Walter Wilson of Davisburg. Mich, and Harland Wilson of Endwell.

Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Friday at the Baker Funeral Home, Marathon, with the Rev. Lowell Bailinger. pastor of the Marathon United Presbyterian Church, of­ficiating. Interment will be in Marathon Cemetery.

There are no calling hours. Contributions in Mrs.

Braman's memory may be made to the Marathon Emergency Squad.

diesel fuel and the inability to gas up on Sundays have many truck drivers complaining bit­terly about the energy crisis. But, according to a Cornell University engineer, the truckers may be driving safer vehicles as a direct result of the fuel shortage.

Allan I. Krauter, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering in Cor-ell's College of Engineering, said that low fuel supplies are forcing truck operators to seek more economical ways of shipping goods.

"One way," he said, "is to go to larger and longer trucks — tractors with two or three trailers in tow. Many truckers feel that these coupled vehicles — 'doubles' and 'triples' — are actually safer to drive because they respond better during braking."

Krauter has been investigating numerous areas of truck dynamics since 1969. Much of his research has been funded by grants from the Eaton Corp. of Cleveland, a manufacturer of truck components, and by the U.S. Department of t ran­sportation (DOT).

Because a single truck may cost $50,000 to purchase and $5-10,000 to run for a single ex­periment, Krauter has con­centrated on constructing computer models for simulating highway situations. Until recently, an entire set of equations had to be created and fed into the computer for each type of truck to be considered. Now, work on a "modular model," Krauter said, may make it possible for manufac­turers and researchers to utilize a single computer model for all kinds of vehicles under almost any circumstances.

"The creation of this model is

State Police Investigating 3 Burglaries

State police are currently investigating a burglary which occurred to the apartment of Carol Ann Amidon, located at the Sherbrook Apartments in Cort-landville. The break-in took place sometime between 2:30 Tuesday afternoon and mid­night.

Entry to the basement apartment was gained by forcing the living room window. A color television was taken but was found just outside the apart­ment. Two coin banks and 20 coin books were also taken. The two banks were found approximately 200 yards from the scene smashed open.

In addition, 12 silver cer­tificates were taken as well as a picture frame with an Apollo stamp and coins surrounding it. Total value taken is estimated at over $300.

Trooper T.C. Habel is the investigating officer.

State police are also in­vestigating two other break-ins which were reported recently

The residence of Dr. Ben Turner of 390 Tompkins St.. was entered sometime between Feb. 22 and 24. Polo equipment valued at S388 was taken in the break.

Two English bikes were taken from the apartment of Gloria Crosby sometime this week. Value of the two bikes was set at S300. The Crosby residence is located at the Sherbrook Apartments.

Trooper G.A. Barnes con­ducted the initial investigations. They have now been turned over to the BCI men.

said, "but it should, when completed, obviate man-years of setting up isolated sets of equations for the computer." This modular model will probably be used widely in considering the question of "double" and "triple" safety, Krauter said.

Krauter is also researching the idea of physical modeling — building scale models of trucks

different test studies. "Aerodynamic engineers have

long used the technique of trying new ideas on little planes in wind tunnels before settling on designs for life-size planes," Krauter said. "I would like to see the technique applied to trucks, although I'm not sure that the little model tires can be built."

Since he began his study.

Conference on Death, Dying Will Be March 7-8 at College

Donald H. Beard

Dr. Judson K. Albaugh, Commissioner of Mental Health in Cortland County, and Donald Beard, a licensed mortician associated with Wright Beard Funeral Home on Lincoln Avenue, will be among the guest speakers at the Conference on Death and Dying March 7-8 at State University College at Cort­land.

Experts in areas related to death and dying will gather on

Dr. Judson K. Albaugh

University College at New Paltz; John Sadwith of Ithaca, developer and teacher of a course on death and dying at Ithaca College; and Dr. Avery Weisman, pioneer in thanatology and a member of the Depart­ment of Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Other participants from the Cortland area related to the field will be Dr. John Lombardo of the

the SUCC campus for a two-day SUCC Psychology Depart-program geared to enlighten ment and the Rev. Edward professionals who deal with mortality on a daily basis.

Dr. Albaugh received a B.A. degree from Oberlin College and his M.D. from State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center. He completed residencies at Upstate Medical Center and is certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He has also served as consultant psychiatrist on several occasions in neigh­boring communities.

Beard's family has been associated with the Beard Funeral Home for three generations. He is an alumnus of Ithaca public schools; Bieler Preparatory School in Chat­tanooga. Tenn.; Central City Business Institute in Syracuse: and Indiana College of Embalming.

The two Cortland residents will participate in panel discussions which will look at death and dying from a professional view point.

Pastalan. director of research at the Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University in Michigan.

Also. Vanderlyn R. Pine of the Sociology Department at State

O'Heron, Catholic chaplain of the Newman Center.

The conference events will take place in Corey Union Building and are being coor­dinated by the Health Education Department. Planning the program are Edward J. Hart and Michael Haro, SUCC faculty members.

George R. Case, Veteran of World War II, Succumbs

George R. Case. 52, of 38 E. Court St. died Tuesday afternoon in the Veterans Administration Hospital, Syracuse.

He was born Feb. 21, 1922 in Cuyler. the son of Clay and Mable Grahanf Case.

Mr. Case was employed as a heavy equipment operator in construction work in this area for many years. He served with the U.S. Army in World War 2.

Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Rosemary Miller Case of Truxton; three sons, George R. Case Jr. of Groton, RD 2, and Vincent and Michael Case, both of Truxton; a daughter. Mrs. Floyd (Patricia) Crandall of Truxton; two brothers, Donald Case of Cortland and Harry E. Case of Rochester: nine grand­children; and several nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be at 1:30 p,m. Friday at the Wright-Beard Funeral Home with the Rev. DarreU J. Westlake officiating. Interment will be ia. Truxton Cemetery.

Friends may call from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the funeral home.

Krauter, with the help of graduate students in the Engineering College, has determined that, in theory at least, jackknifing can be automatically prevented. He also provided information on the advantages of anti-skid braking devices.

"This is a very sophisticated form of brake pumping," Krauter explained. 'The danger during hard braking is that the wheels will stop turning and the vehicle will go into a skid. An anti-skid braking device senses when the wheel rotation is stopping and automatically releases the pressure on the brakes. As the rotation picks up, the device reapplies the pressure."

Krauter said that most of the braking effort comes at the moment just before the wheels stop turning. At that moment the vehicle is also more stable and less likely to fishtail or jackknife. Since anti-skid braking keeps the wheels tur­ning, it can improve both braking and stability.

By Sept. 1, 1974, anti-skid braking devices will be required by the DOT as standard equipment on all new trucks.

Other areas of Krauter's in­vestigation include tire characterization, computer determination of wind loading (how winds act on the vehicle) and optimum braking (how to steer and brake through turns so as to maximize the vehicle's stability and braking per­formance).

Government studies show that more than 4,000 drivers die each year in accidents involving commercial vehicles, yet relatively little research on truck safety has appeared in the engineering literature, Krauter said.

"An articulated truck is a more complicated animal than an automobile because it con­sists #f at least two things coupled together," Krauter said. "And no truck manufacturer makes both the tractor and the trailer. There are no 'stock trucks.' Each one is unique."

Barn Burns In Willet Last Night

Willet firefighters battled a barn fire just after 8 last night, which completely destroyed the barn and its contents. The loss has been set at $14,000.

The barn, which is owned by William Scales of Maine, N.Y., was being used by a church youth group as a camp. The cause of the fire is unknown and is still under investigation.

There was no report of injuries at the scene. The call was received at 8:12 Tuesday night.

Cortland fire units went to the Rotary Service Station at the intersection of Port Watson and Pendleton Streets for an in­vestigation just after noon.

Reportedly, someone had turned on two water spigots and left them running and it flooded the basement with 2!

2 feet of water.

The water department was called to pump out the cellar. Utility companies were also notified'to check out their equipment.

Douglas Homer was told by the fire department to have an electrician inspect the equip­ment before attempting to turn them back on.

The building is owned by Southern Oil Company.

At 2:34, Cortland units went to the Joseph McMahon residence at 205; 2 Central Ave. A faulty light cord was the cause of the alarm.

Schools Resume Old Schedule On March 4th

Both the Cortland and Homer school districts will return to the old schedule for opening and closing school on Monday, March 4, it was reported today by Dr. Arthur Shedd. superin­tendent of schools for the Cort­land Englarged City School District.

Because of the return to the old schedule, both school districts will open and close schools one half hour earlier than is presently the case, beginning on Monday.

The schedule had been altered a short time ago due to the In­stitution of Daylight Saving Time and the safety concerns for youngsters going to school in the darkness of the early morning hours.

Sufficient daylight will be present by Monday, March 4, to permit a resumption of the norma! school schedule, it was reported.

Ward M. Stanley, 41, of Cook Hill Road, Marathon, RD 1, died this morning at the Cortland Memorial Hospital following a three-month illness.

He was born Sept. 16, 1932 in Solon, the son of Harris and Edith Stanley, who survive. He was an employee of the Grumman Boat Company and was a life resident of the Marathon area.

He attended the First Baptist Church of Killawog and was a veteran of the U. S. Army, having served from 1949-53.

In addition to his parents, now of Marathon, RD, he is survived by- his widow, Mary Smith Stanley; three sons. Ward and John, at home, and Ronald, of Virgil; two daughters, Sheryl and Michelle, both at home; one brother, Charles Stanley of Granville: two sisters, Mrs. Evelyn Harrington of Homer and Mrs. Donna Fox of Texas Valley: several nieces and nephews.

Motorists Reminded Of Auto Inspection Deadline on Thursday

Albany — Motor Vehicle Commissioner Arnold R. Fisher, citing a special £tati Police survey, today emphasized the need for prompt vehicle inspection to meet Thursday's deadline for February registration renewals.

He said a State Police survey of some 11,000 vehicle inspection stations licensed by New York State showed that many of them, especially in New York City, had reduced their normal business hours because of the gasoline shortage.

"Since a vehicle registration cannot be renewed without proof of safety inspection within the past 12 months, the reduced hours of these stations make it advisable to schedule a prompt appointment," Commissioner Fisher said.

Reporting that the State Police had found only moderate problems among Upstate in­spection stations, the Com­missioner said the limited availability of service in New-York City could create in­convenience for motorists who wait until Thursday to seek in­spections.

The more than 1.7 million vehicles currently registered in New York City represent nearly a fourth of the state's total registration of 7.5 million.

Airman Cute is a 1972 graduate of Cortland Senior High School.

Millions Being Wasted Through Welfare Office

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - The New York City Welfare Depart­ment is wasting $100 million an­nually in not proceeding with an interview program quickly enough, according to the state comptroller.

The face-to-face re-certifica­tion (FFR) program requires an interview with welfare recipients to establish their eligibility.

An audit released by state Comptroller Arthur Levitt Tuesday charges that the city's

Human Resources Adminis­tration has not implemented the program as efficiently as possible since it was started in June, 1973.

All recipients were supposed to be interviewed within one year, the audit said, but at its rate last September, the inter­viewing would take seven years to complete.

"Since the FFR program is an effective device for screen­ing ineligible cases and er­roneous payments, the cost of this delay to the city, state and f e d e r a l governments is enormoush—running into $100 million a year." Levitt said.

MORAVIA PRODUCTION - "The Yankee Doodle," a full length musical written by Tim Kelly, with music by George M. Cohan, will open at 8 p.m. Thursday in the Moravia High School auditorium. A matinee ^performance is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday and another evening performance will be presented at 8 p.m. Sunday. The Moravia Central School Drama Club is staging the musical to raise money for the Moravia Scholarship Fund. The cast is pictured rehearsing "Give My Regards to Broadway," one of the musical numbers in the show which involves the problems of a young rock star, Duke Norton, who must decide bet­ween a career in music and a career in the

military. Baritone Neil Freeman will play the male lead and sopranoMarlene Neville will play the female lead. Other important musical roles include JoAnee VanWarner as a New York talent agent and Cathy Foti as an over-zealous rock music fan. A chorus of 22 Moravia students will sing and dance in the production.

Gas Problems Still Plague Some Areas

NEW YORK fAP) - The first day of the state's man­datory gasoline sales system has shortened long lines here but spot shortages continued to plague some areas.

A large number of closed sta­tions in Lower Manhattan, parts of Brooklyn and in Rock­land County caused long lines at the stations which were open. In Rockland County, the first New York county to have a mandatory system, only 16 of 58 stations surveyed were open, and lines were several blocks long.

The new system was a suc­cess elsewhere, however.

"It's been so good, we can even check the oil again," said one station operator in the Grant City section of Staten Island.

Road in the Bronx, John McGrath, of 3339 Hull Avenue, the Bronx, said, "I've been waiting only 15 minutes. They should have made it mandatory a long time ago."

The Automobile Club of New York reported: "Lines through­out the day have been consider­ably shorter," adding that the plan appeared to be cutting down on "the aggravation and hardship caused by long waits."

Compliance with the system was generally good and police reported issuing only one sum­mons after a check of 373 sta­tions.

The violation occurred at an East Side service station where a driver with an odd-numbered plate was reported to have bought gasoline.

About a dozen warnings were issued to motorists.

With the apparent success of the state's mandatory program. Mayor Abraham D. Beame abandoned his program for mandatory sales legislation in the city.

Library Notes Cost Savings

As Use of Energy is Reduced Cortland Free Library today

became the latest local concern to release a tabulation documenting reduced energy consumption during recent months.

According to Warren S. Eddy, library director, immediately following President Richard M. Nixon's Nov. 7 request to citizens to "makesacrifices by using less heat, less electricity, less gasoline". Cortland Free Library lowered thermostats to 68 degrees, replaced eight in­candescent lights with bulbs of lower wattage and instituted a policy of curtailed usage of fluorescent lighting during daylight hours. The library also contacted a local electrical concern which agreed to change the front entrance light from manual to electric eye operation

These energy conserving measures were instrumental in reducing library consumption of electricity, for usage during the three months that began Oct. 29. 1973 totalled 14,004 kilowatts, 10.92 per cent under consumption from Oct. 27. 1972 through Jan. 28. 1973.

Natural gas consumption also decreased. Cortland's library director pointed out. for usage between Oct. 19. 1973. and Jan. 22, 1974 totalled 839.400 cu. ft. of 13.54 per cent below that for the same days of 1972 and 1973.

"While energy consumption has been reduced by more than ten per cent." Eddy added, "-the cost savings are much lower". To date, these savings are $53.55 (5.05 per cen!) and $22.05 (4.89 per cent) for natural gas and electricity, respectively.

RARE BREED

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -Cathernine French is manager of New Jersey Symphony, one of a few women orchestra managers in the United States.

At 27, Miss French is also one of the youngest. As to the disadvantages or advantages of being a woman, she said with a laugh, "I'm too busy to think about such tilings."

The New York Philharmonic also had a woman manager, Helen Thompson, but she retired recently.

In conclusion. Eddy noted. "It would be an injustice to end this report without a word of thanks to library users and staff members, for both have been occasionally inconvenienced by reduced illumination and lower temperatures".

He could have danced all night

instead, he's in thewrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong tools and the wrong clothes. He should have called his local "Roto-Rooter"* Sewer Service Company. The Roto-Rooter man "Raior-Kleens" * any drain in the house, in the kitchen, laundry, bathroom or basement — quickly and thoroughly.
