As a result of the Mayor'sarbitrary action, we have a sit-uation sshere the employees ofthe golf course first learned ofthis plan, which poses a vervreal threat to their hvelyhood,thru a newspaper report . TheRecreation Commission andMaster Flan Committee had nochance to comment before thisplan, with us ' apparent officialsanction, was made public. Ag-ain this is contrary to at leastthe spirit of the statutes e s -tablishing Recreation Commis-sions in New Jersey since theduties of a Recreation Board asoutlined by the state include;"Initiate and supervise studies oflocal conditions and need affect-ing recreation, initiate andsupervise the conducting of abroad program of recrea-

tion activities and services tomeet the needs and desires ofthe community." The Mayoris usurping the prerogatives ofthis board of citizen experts.

To those residents and golf-ers who spoke to us this pastwee k and to whom we had toadmit a very limited knowledgeof the background or formulationof this committee, tu the mem-bers of the Recreation Commis-sion and the numbers of theMaster lian Committee, andi-'-pec tally to those municipal em-plvwcs wlui see their futures injeopardy, we deeply regret thisunilateral action of the Mayor,

Ths? need or advisability ofholding this study may be veryreal and very necessary. It isunfortunate the study may havebeen prejudiced by the arbitrarynature- of us announcement. Thedesirability of studying the sub-ject of a municipal pool againis valid. Many of the circum-stances that lead to its rejectionyear-ago are no longer valid.Why a pool study must be tiedin with a study of the golf cour-ses however escapes us.

It is important we on Coun-cil spend time discussing pro-posals such as this before theyare put before the public so thatwe may intelligently answer yourquestions, We regret this wasnot done in this case and thatCouncil has not had an oppor-tunity to discuss this proposalat all. Therefore, we inviteany citizen who is interested in,or concerned by, the Mayor'sannouncement attend next Tues-day's Council meeting and askthe Mayor,

inIn Our Opinion

S More Info Needed

If!X---

If a person was in possession of a slurp pencil, a£iiud leaning suface, a ^thick p.iJ of p.ipor and short -hand abilities, a person mir.ht have been knowled-geable about what rh,- Ho.ird of L'ducai ion was doin.u lastThursday niphi. As the Board voted upon a lisiof major :idmiiu'Sti-LUiv(^-joLu»Jiauiies, the public, who hadbeen alerted to expect eonsiderame action ata.npeeuilmeeting of the Board, was hard put to know exactlywhat was going on.

Many changes were made last Thursday night. Itwas not too difficult to figure out Shat the Office ofInstruction will be no more, but as more and moreof the list was rattled off, some of the more subtlecutbacks were Increasingly difficult to keep track of.One needed a scorecard of one kind or another tokeep up with the action, much less to publicly expressany opinions for or against. The press was not pro-vided with the important materials and background in-formation needed to cover a story of this magni-tude.

It is our understanding that the Board of Educationdid hold a meeting with staff in advance of Thursdaynight's meeting, thereby fulfilling its obligations inthat area. However, it was svithin the public spherethat the Board "goofed" once again, in our view.In the past, our own and other local newspapershave faulted the Scotch Plains -Fanwood Board ofEducation for its failure to provide the public withinformation, This is a new Board , . . . but onceagain we find avenues for criticism. When a Boardundertakes changes of the scope made last week -changes which may eventually lead the way to new

administrative policies which will be of interest toparents and general public - we see no reasonwhy a simple list of affected job titles could nothave been provided for the public. Thatwasn't donebefore, during, or since the meeting. Short of that,even a written list on a blackboard last Thursdaynight would have filled a verv real need,

Coincidentally, last week saw the publication oflengthy tips which an Ad Hoc Committee provided asa result of a long volunteer study of better ways inwhich the Board of Eduction can communicate withthe public. It would be interesting to kno%v the impres-sion of such a Committee to last week's meeting.\Ve hope the new Board will soon act to fill thisglaring,ga^in communications, and provide the publicwith ffie tools it needs for true input to the Board,

May ^The month of May contains many memorable dates.

There's the celebration of May Day, held in manycolleges and schools, and the custom of electing MayQueens. The custom probably began in England, asa survival of the Roman festivals.

The Battle of Manila Bay was fought on May 1st,1898, That battle won ascendancy for the UnitedStates' fleet against the Spanish in the Asiatic thea-ter and is remembered for Dewey's famous order,"You may fire when ready, Gridley."

Many Americans will remember the sinking of theliner Lusitania, which occurred May 7nh, 1915,which did much to turn sentiment in the United Statesagainsr the Kaiser's Germany in World War I, WorldWar II in Europe ended May 8th, 1945.

The first transcontinental railroad was completedon May 10th, 186*5, meeting at Promontory Point,Utah,

The annual observance of Mother's Day, of course,falls on the second Sunday, and dates from 1907,Miss Anna M. Jarvis, of Philadelphia, is responsiblefor gaining national acceptance of the day, althoughMiss Marv T. Sasssen, a Kentucky school teacher,probably arranged for the first observance of theflay, in 1906.

FortTs PredictionPresident Ford recently told a Republican fund-

raising dinner in Washington he saw no "unbeatable"Democrat among those who svish to run against himin H76.

He predicted he would win next year's election witha campaign stressing "budgetary discipline , a strongnational defense and freedom," He said the fortunesof' the G.O.P, were not as low as some imagined.

Ford said decades in politics convinced him thesituation is never as bleak as pessimists feel in hardtimes, and never as muc^ of S sure ching as manybelive in good times, **

perhaps that's true'"but it also seems true thatwhether Ford is elected in 1976 will depend more onwhat he does and says between now and then than onany other factor.

He isn't hkelv to win %vith a sixty-billion dollardeficit n«xt year, even though talking about budgetarydiscipline. Nor is ha likely to win if he doesn't putbehind him the illusion South Vietnam fell because svedidn't ger enough aid to the Saigon regime, in time.Indeed, if Mr. Ford plays on the South Vietnam tragedy,blnmin^ this country (aft?r an unprecedented4 L ^ " bnh.ins wasted, and much American blood)ii.- is iif;-?lv.ju gu down to resounding defeat.

Letters to the Editor

Your Man In CongressBY MAI rurw

Dear Editor,This is a copy of a letter

sont to the Board of Ed, I'dlike others too to know ofthis fine person and someof her recent contributions,Dear Board Members,

Most often letters arewritten to you I'm sure witha complaint or problem, butI'd like to take more than amoment to make you awareof a most dedicated, lovedand truly exceptional per-son svorking in the schoolsystem. Her name i sMrs ,Joan Dugan and she is avolunteer is a special classat Park j r , H.S,

Not only does she assistthe teacherdurlngtheclassday and thus enable thechildren to get the indivi-dualized instruction theyneed, but through herefforts the class partici-pated in the Special Ol-ympics last Sat, Duringthe Spring vacation, shecontinually trained the stu-dents in order for them toperform well in the compe-tition. They truly were finerepresentatives of Park j r .H.S, winning many eventsbut even more importantgaining a sense of achieve-ment through their own ef-forts,

We want to thank Mrs.Dugan for her tremendouscontributions. The child-ren love her- we appre-ciate and need her as well.

Yours very truly,SUE AND MARTY STERN

To The Editor:The Board of Education

took action last Thursdayto reduce the administra-tive overhead in this schooldistrict, The action was

certainly painful to the per -sonnel affected, and it doesnot reflect upon their com-petency, It does reflect,however, upon a self-serving school administra-tion which had pushed theboundaries of "public edu-cation" even beyond thoseembellishments formsrlyassociated with private ed-ucation, Anyone with aminimal understanding ofmanagement, or a modicumof common sense, could seethat this district hadbecome staff-heavy. Thetaxpayers were strugglingunder the Increasing bur-den of a system more con-cerned with creating areputation for eleganceamong other educators thanwith establishing a solidacademic foundation for thechildren of the district,

Our current Board ofEducation is a truly r ep -resentative Board, thanksto the recent election. Thenew members are not glib,and they have a facility formaking procedural e r ro r s ,but they are asking prob-ing questions, they are de -manding that the adminis-tration function and, in theprocess, they are showingthemselves to be verycon-cerned human beings. Nowthat they have brought thissyste m back to -realityperhaps we can begin tore-establish the di'strlct,not as one dedicated to theprofessional glorificationof its educators but, asone dedicated to providinga sound education for itschildren,

HUGO DIAZ

ConnallyThe acquittal of John Connally, former Secretary

of the Treasury and Nixon aide, wasn't unexpected-the sole witness who claimed to have given Connallybribe money was a convicted perjurer and the judge,in charging the jury, cautioned against jurors relyingtoo heavily on his testimony.

Yet the jurors, one white, required almost six hoursto reach an acquittal verdict. That indicates a div-ision, some doubt about the verdict, (In cases ofdoubt, the American judicial system provides thatthe accused be found innocent.)

And though Connally was acquitted, the trial wasnevertheless a blow to the Texan's political ambi-tions. There's less chance now he could become amajor contender in 1976,

Like the turbulent sea, the controversy over off-shore drilling for oil and gas rises and falls with each

• new study ami hearing held by the Department ofthe Interior, There are no clear signs as yet of afinal compromise between protecting the environ-ment and rapping iho potentially hune energy resour-ce^ on the outj-rconiinental shelf some 60 miles offthe New jersey shore.

The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision simplyreaffirmed the right of the federal government tocontrol the ocean bed beyond the three mile limit ofstate territory, it did not settle the more crucialpolitical, economic and ecological questions,

First, we must remind ourselves that no one knosvswith any assurance just how much oil and gas, if any,are locked beneath the seabeds off the Atlantic Coast,Without adequate information, federal leasing couldconstitute a huge giveaway of America's resourcesto the giant oil companies.

It is my contention that we should separate ex-ploration from production in leasing these lands. TheU,S, Geological Survey should be directed to providethe Interior Department with a more precise estimateof possible oil and gas reserves.

The Interior Department is talking about leasing asmuch as 10 million seabed acres for exploration anddevelopment. How much should it be worth?

To give you some idea of the financial possibili-ties, private oil firms have paid nearly $12 billionto drill on 10,4 million acres since the federal off-

. shore leasing began in 19S4, Royalties have addedabout $2 billion more to the U.S. treasury.

With world oil prices having quadrupled in thelast year, any major oil finds off the continental shelfwould be worth billions of dollars more. Only ayear ago, an oil consortium bid 52.16 billion forrights to explore 114 tracts covering 520,275 acresin the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana, Bidding for onechoice tract svent as high as $33,772 an acre.

The present bidding system invites the formationof non-competitive partnership arrangements betweenrival oil companies. In addition, the information onpossible reserves is often sketchy, and there is noinducement to the bordering States to share in thebenefits.

Much of the dispute has been focused on the envir-onmental impact of ocean drilling. It has led me toconclude that the best possible arrangement to pro-tect marine and shore life is to have the federalleasing program carried out in conjunction %vith theimplementation of coastal management plans by thestates. These plans should be funded from the fed-eral leases,

I also would favor a suggestion that the oil com-panies that sign the leases be obliged to guaranteea $100 million trust fund to be used to clean up anyoil spills' and to compensate for any economic andenvironmental damage, The fund would be renew-able,

In addition, I am sponsoring legislation in Congressthat would compel the federal government to sharewith the" Atlantic coastal states in the billions of dol-lars in lease payments, A special fund svould beestablished to distribute grants to coastal states incompensation for the impact of production facilities onshore. New Jersey, for instance, would have to con-siderably expand its fresh water supplies for the newon-shore refitisries.

Unless we protect the coastal states, they willhave no alternative but to impede the developmentthrough endless litigation,

While we need oil and gas to keep our economyviable and to hale the drain on the dollar because ofcostly foreign imports, I believe that the goal ofleasing 10 million acres in a very short periodwould not be realijtic.

First, the oil companies do not have the capital,the equipment or the manpower to develop more than6 million acres annually, according to some oil com-pany officials.

second, a land-sale rush would depress prices onsome sites that may later turn into major producingStations.

Third, a few bonanzas in the Atlantic would misleadthe American public into believing that the UnitedStates has all the oil and gas reserves it needs, andconservation svould be discouraged. The fear ofsome critics that we %vould be pursuing a policy of"Drain America First" might prove all too ac-curate. The oil and gas reserves in the Atlanticshould be carefully managed for future generations.

We need a more reallsitc program that repre-sents a compromise between those who would go al l-out at any price, and those who are fiercely opposedto any tamDerlng with nature.

Between those two extremes is the fact that 30percent of New Jersey's energy must be imported.Until the recession, our energy needs were growingat the rate of seven percent a year. We need thejobs and the income from oil and gas. But wa alsomust manage these unreplenishable resources in afarsighted manner. Our precious oil and gas mustlast u? wall into tne next century. Hopefully, by thatti-ne we shall have developed safe nuclear powerand solar energy to sustain our economy and our en-vifonmsnt in reasonably good condition for at leastthe next 100 years.

I Can, U Can Programs4t High School

1 CAN and II CAN are t%vo programs in Scotch Plains-FanvvooclHigh School that were started :o accomodatu students wliu aro"turned off" tu school, according to IJ CAN teacher, Virginia Kurek.

I CAN hcgan in September,iy73, and due to Its success, UCAN was initiated in September,1974, According to Mrs, Kurek,I CAN represents "Introductionto Career Awareness Now,'1 andU CAN, "Understanding CareerAwareness Now."

"The purpose of the programis to introduce and investigateas many careers as possible andhelp the students reach their po-tential in a career wherethey would best succeed," Mrs,Kurek explatnerl, "In addition,"she said, "They learn Eng-lish, history, and math skills."

According to Mrs. Kurek, theprograms involve corporations inwhich the students are atock hol-ders. In June, each student earnsdividends from the corporation'sprofits. If at any time a stu-dent wants to withdraw from thecorporation, he may do so, sheadded. According to Mrs. Kurek,all money invested will thenbe returned to the student.

The academic subjects are in-tegrated with laboratory pro-jects. Topics included in theprograms are data proces-sing and computer orienta-tion, budgeting, banking, andcomparative buying, Mrs, Kurekexplained.

The major goal of I CAN andU CAN is to interest studentswho have been turned off toschool and make them want to stayin school, explained Miss MurielBurger, another teacher in theprogram. Once students finishthe program at the end of theirsophomore years, she added, theywill either go on to an academicprogram at the high school, atechnical program at UnionCounty Vocational School, or awork program,

Both Mrs. Kurek and MissBurger feel the programs aresuccessful, Mrs, Kurek attri-butes the success to the infor-mal classes, large and smallgroup instruction, individualiza-tion, and "hands-on" activitiessuch as food sales, and productconstruction and sales.

Two sophomores Involved inthe programs, Jeff Urbanski andpatty Sanguiliano, agree withtheir teachers' assertion. Theyare both happy that they chosethe program. Patty said shefelt the teachers make learningeasier.

Jeff feels the program is re-warding because it introducedhim to a pofential summer job.

Th^ drastic changes r-roughtoutcries, both posime .»nd nega-tive, f"o—• segments of the pub-lic, the staff and the Board it-self. The preici"inj;ii questionwhich WAS repeated time aicertime and was asked by citizensand teachers, was where theschool district would finddirection in the future, Sincethe Directors have been respon-sible for articulation of curricu-lum, keeping up to dace on newmaterials and curriculum ap-proaches, and teacher evalua-tions, many wanted to know svhowould provide this service f %>mhere on.

Bard said a whole new phol-osophy of education would be ev-olved in the near future, when theBoard has time to map out a nesvapproach. He said there will be,plenty of publicity as restruc-turing takes place,

Linda Alvord, departmentchairman of :he high school math-ematics department, predicted:hat it would take the dis:nctve.i-s lo recover from :he movesTi?.;, she said :he directors rep-resent the support personnel forteaching staff, and are :he keypeople, to whom teachers turnfor advice, direction, and manyforms of assistance, "There areteachers svho do not value thesupport personnel we have, butI do." she said,

William Mason commented onthe practice of hiring teacherswith a specified amount of exper-ience. He said the philosophyin the past had been to hire thebest qualified, not the teacheravailable for the least number ofdollars.

CORNERBY JOSEPH QUTUB

• I A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A VBasically and historically the Y.M.CA, is a membership organi-

zation , Since its inception, we have held that membership in theYMCA is based on the fundamental Idea of uniting one's efforts withthose of othar people of like minds and common Interests and ofaccepting responsibility for the accomplishment of common objec-t ives.

During the course of its development over the years, we haveintroduced programs of many and varied activities and serviceswhose fundamental purpose is to provide opportunity for Individualand group attainment of these objectives. We have erected buildingswith facilities to be used as tools in carrying out many of theseactivities and services,

YMCAs income comes mainly from three sources; program ser -vices, contributions and membership dues. In many cities addi-tional contributions, especially through tha United Way Campaigns,do not seem to be forthcoming in amounts adequate enough to meetthe sharply increased financial need. In addition to the need formaking membership more meaningful, it has therefore become nec-essary to seek ways of increasing membership dues.

In answer to both of the above needs, many YMCA's have returned to the original concept of YMCA membership by introducinga type of membership known as "SUSTAINING" to make it possiblefor people to become members of the YMCA because they believein its purpose and desire to be identified as members of it, have apart in accomplishing 'it 's purpose and share through member-ship dues in meeting it's financial responsibilities. These mem-berships do noc provide for program activit ies use of facilities orservice privileges a,s do the more commonly known "activity"types of membership.

OBJECTIVES OF SUSTAINING MEMUEKSHIP DRIVEJ. To interpret to members, prospect members, workers, con-

tributors, and to the general public, the purpose, methods andprugr.imh uf Lhe Y.M.C.A.

2. To interpret to members, pruspi'cuve members and workersthe rtTjuinm^ of Sustjinnis', vr active membership in tlw Y.M.CA,

3. To solicit Sustaining mcmh.rship renewals, and new members.5. To prLVioV an opportunity fur service and fellowship for Board,

5. To discover and develop leadership.6. To build cooperation and loyalty within the membership.

This year the 1; an wood-Scotch Plains YMCA will conduct aSustaining Membership Drive, The Kick Off and Orientation forworkers will bo held on Sunday, April 27th at 3:00 P.M. at theItalian American Hall on Valley Ave. in Scotch Plains, The Co-Chairmen for this years drive are; James Louden and TheodoreFrankenbach, Board Members and Trustees will serve as Cap-tains and a group of approKimately 130 workers.

introduction to a first basic les -son on a six-stringed guitar. Wil-liam Tronolone and Alice Parkerwere available to give such les-sons to all the teachers.

Guidance counselors studied abooth of books, pamphlets andfilmstrips available for possibleuse in classrooms, while GloriaAkerlund manned a display whichincluded materials on alternatestaffing and good ideas in photo-graphy and newspapers.

"Math - the Fun is That WeEat Our Math" was Helen Har-per 's contribution. She demon-strated clever ways to teachfractions using cakes, punch,cookies or candy, Phyllis Toalof McGinn had created an elab-orate display of puppets from in-expensive materials for creativewriting and oral speaking and dra-matization, and her cute pa-perbaf, fabric-scrap and sockpeople drew throngs.

The range was as diversifiedas the many Interests and ta l -ents of the children within thedistr ict . The day and the rallyidea represented somethingbrand new within the district.It was prepared by the In-Service Committee of the DistrictCurriculum Committee, whichincluded Marcla L&mbek, chair-person, Charles Blhler, BeverlyKaminetsky, Jamss Cerasa,Frank Lanla, Janet Gould, TomTiktin, Ceil Best, Joan Bauder-man and Sue Allen.

According to Mrs, Lambek,who teaches sixth grade at LaGrande, the concept was devel-oped an a means to share thebest ideas and to personalizeeducation. She pointed out that,though there are many in-serviceworkshops from time to time,last sveek's represented the mostelaborate and extensive yet un-

dertaken. For the first time,elementary and junior high teach-e r s got a chance to see what eachother are doing and to improvecommunications between thesetwo levels of education._

The PEP Rally also featured,as a second phase of thefour-hour afternoon, formal p r e -sentations which followed the d i s -play period. Here, teacherssigned up to attend workshops ofInterest to them. They chosea ninety-minute segment to a t -tend, and they again had manychoices. In one area, Ted Stan-ik of Ten-ill demonstrated theactual making of a videotape foruse in the classroom, utilizingfull television studio facilities,and all teachers actually got toparticipate.

Caroline Underkofler of CapeMay County was one of severalvisiting specialists from otherschool districts exhibiting intheir area of expertise. MissUnderkofler gave a session indeveloping learning stations, tea-ching teachers about a program ofclassroom management whichguides them in grouping studentsaccording to educational needs.

Even parents got into the Rallypicture, as mother volunteerswho are participating in a minl-grant program called "AngelsIn the Classroom'* at Park man-ned their booth, offering Ideas andtips for getting parents Involvedin the local educational process.

Enthusiasm for the PEP Rallyran high. The viewers were asenthusiastic as the exhibitors,and there were many indicationsthat this type of workshop maybecome an annual event in thefuture,

The Minute Man statue that will onee againstand in front of Harmonia Savings Bank at UnionSquare commemorates the 16-day battle in whicha small band of Continental Minute Men fought aforce of 6,000 British and Hessian troops.

Colonel ilias Dayton, in command of the Newjersey Brigade, had left a dozen Minute Men incommand of Ensign Moses Ogden, a 19-year-oldElizabeth youth, to observe end report on, and, ifpossible, cheek any British advance. They hadstationed themselves at what is now Union Squareand at daybreak on June 7, 1780, heard the tramp©fan approaching column.

The troops of the British marched in full splendorup Old Point Road, new First Avenue, unaware ofimpending opposition, and in view of the un-resisted raids which they had previously conductedduring the winter, evidently expecting none.

Young Ogden gave the command to fire, and onthe first volley General Thomas Sterling fell, with abullet wound in his right thigh, from the effects ofwhich he died, nearly a year later, the troops werethoroughly demoralized, not even attempting toreturn the fire, and in obedience to commandsgiven by Colonel Dayton, Ogden and his MinuteMen retreated up Water Sheet, now known asElizabeth Avenue. At Broad Street Colonel Daytonreceived word of the approach and numbers of theenemy, and leaving skirmishers to harass thecolumn from vantage points, retreated out WestJersey Street, old Westfield Road and Galloping HillRoad to Connecticut Farms where the battle tookplace in which young Ensign Ogden was killed.

The following morning, at a point jgst east ofthe present Union Square, General Hand, of theContinental forces, engaged in another battle, theoutcome of which was thetdislodging of the Britishfrom strongholds near the Cross Roads, and theirsubsequent falling back to their station near thesound, while Hand took up a position in WestJersey street, near the present Cherry Street in-tersection. Skirmishes on this ground continueduntil the British retreated to Staten Island June23rd.

There is little doubt among historians thaf thechecking of the British advance, first launched bythe little group at the "Cross Roads" resulted inpreventing an attack on the important strongholdof Morristown, where Washington was encamped,and caused the British officers to place a muchhigher estimate on the fighting qualities of theMinute Men and the militia. This estimate was stillfurther raised a few we«k$ later, when the bottleof Springfield was fought.

ions-hip on ABC-TV, "We feel that these women arc representa-tive of what women are really doing today," said Leonore l-lershey,editor of Journal. "We're setting up models for other women tufollow.'*

After all, she went on to lell me, men have had their superstarsand heroes for years. Why not women?

I can tell you svhy not women, I can chink of a couple of thingsthat bother ma about this. First being that the Ladi,es Home Journalis a women's magazine and should not bo exploiting women by gain-ing so much publicity from their achievements.

Second, I think the journal is placing too much emphasis on topnames, women %vho have proved themselves in politics and the arts.What about the ordinary woman?

I asked this of Lenore Hershey, "There are no ordinary women,"she told me,

How nice. Too bad you can't tell the ordinary woman that,I then asked Ms. Hershey if, among their chosen ones, there

might be a homemaker. Someone so many women could relate to.There wasn't, "These women are all wives and mothers," she

said. Marvelous, Except, how does that leave all.the wives andmothers out there who are not making ii big, feeling?

I'll tail you how. Inadequate, that's how, Falling short of themark. Irrelevant. Useless.

The other thing I object to about all this is that the men have beendoing it for years. For years the men have gauged success by svhata man does, by the figures in his paycheck, not by what he is. Ihad hopes that one of the outcomes of women's raised conscious-ness would be to knock down that bugaboo forever.

That yardstick for success did in a lot of men. It caused manyruined marriages, many cases of ulcers, it caused them to hatethe other guy, accumulate heart attacks and have nervous break-downs.

It is sad to see the women go in the same direction.If people are to be truly liberated they should be liberated from

all those social pressures that made them strive for things theyreally didn't want, that made them spend their lives In pursuit ofachievements they never svanted to achiev
