Board to reduce bus service for high school, road hazards
By David Thaler MATAWAN
The Board of Education has decided to eliminate bus service for students who travel hazardous routes to school, The Independent learned this week.
The board will also increase—to 2Vi> miles—the minimum distance it will bus high school students. It presently provides transportation to all students who live within two miles of the high school.
In a~ statement issued yesterday, Board Secretary Edward J. Scullion said the “reduction of free transportation service to Matawan Regional School District pupils will be on the agenda for the regular public meeting scheduled for June 24 (Monday) at Strathmore Elementary School.” , _
But the Independent learned that a majority of the board members have indicated they will vote to curtail bus service.
The new policy, to be implemented in September, would make pedestrians of at least 335 students who now ride to school.
The district presently buses 135 high school students who live between two and i xk miles from the school. It also buses 200 students who must walk officially designated hazardous routes to four schools—St. Josephs, St. Benedict’s, Matawan Avenue, and the high school.
In addition, according to
Lorraine Hartnett, assistant business administrator, 134 students are bused to St. John Vianney High School. It is not known how many of the St. John’s students live more than two miles frcd? the school.
The board estimates it will save $12,370 next year by increasing the minimum distance it will bus high school students, Ms. Hartnett said.
The hazardous-route busing was provided this year
under a policy which will expire June 30. No funds for hazardous-route busing are in the 1974-75 budget, Ms. Hartnett said.
“The projected cost of providing that service,” she said, “is $17,600.”
The state reimburses the school district for 75 percent of the cost of busing elementary students who live within two miles of a school and high school students who live within 2 '2 miles.
“The revised policy,”
Scullion said in his statement, “is in accord with state regulations.”
In a related matter, the board plans to change the opening and closing times for district schools.
“The problem of pupils traveling in the darkness due to daylight savings time will be solved,” Scullion said, “by moving the time schedule ahead one hour for all elementary schools. The

Residents will go to the
polls Tuesday to vote on a
$7.4 million middle school bond referendum.
If approved, construction will begin next year on the
township-donated, 47-acre
site at Wyncrest Road and
Route 520.
Target plans call for
student occupancy by September, 1976.

Council to consider other sites for municipal center
Matawan may not buy M&T complexBy David Thaler
MATAWAN TOWNSHIP Although the Township
Council appears to have won the legal battle for the right to acquire the 22-acre M&T Chemical Co. complex, it apparently has not decided whether it will actually buy the property for use as a municipal center.
“ We have not agreed among ourselves that the M&T site is the one we want,” said Councilman Richard Wolfe. “ We’ve agreed that it’s one of a number of sites.”
The council has informally
agreed to retain an architect to conduct a feasibility study, Wolfe said. In the first phase of the study, the
architect will consider other potential sites, according to
Township Manager Donald Galuzzy.
Councilman Peter Lumia, a strong supporter of the M&T proposal, apparently did not know that the study would include other sites.
“As far as I know,” Lumia said, “the architect’s responsibility is to develop detailed plans and cost estimates for the renovation of the M&T plant. Nothing was said about other sites at the meeting I attended.”
Wolfe said the study was authorized at a caucus May 31, and will be completed “within thie next two Months.” The council has not ''.rmally approved the aeon. The study will cost
approximately $3,000 to $4,000, Galuzzy said.
The architect will deter
mine the amount of space needed for a municipal center, Galuzzy said, and then analyze sites on which an appropriate building could be constructed.
“He’s going to answer questions such as how much land do we need, what do we really need to make ourselves comfortable,” Wolfe said.
Wolfe and two other councilmen who were elected in November—Ernest Edwards and George Haus- mann—contended in their campaign that the cost of the proposed M&T project should be determined before the property was acquired.
“We did not agree with the previous council that this was the best site,” Wolfe
said. “Nothing has changed since January.”
Wolfe said that the three new councilmen “were never shown any figures or facts after we were elected.”
Asked about a feasibility study which the council said had been conducted last year by M&T Associates, the township’s consulting engineer, Wolfe said, “You know what that study was. It said that the buildings would stand 100 years. It wasn’t a feasibility study.”
Wolfe criticized the comments made last week by Mayor Philip Gumbs, Lumia, and Councilman Hans Froehlich. Gumbs was quoted as stating that the courts would start with M&T’s assessed value, $752,000, in determining what the town
ship should pay South River Metal Products Co., the present owner, for the prop
erty.Lumia and Froehlich ar
gued that the mayor should not have commented on the case while it is in the courts. Lumia added that the proper starting point in determining South River’s compensation was $393,000—the price the company paid for the prop
erty last year.“I don’t think any utter
ances are appropriate while the study is being conducted,” Wolfe said. “ I assume that the seven councilmen are reasonable enough to wait for the feasibility study to be finished.”

Council okays bond issue after raucous public hearing
By Maureen Daly MARLBORO
After, a boisterous three- hour tpublic hearing, the Township Council approved—by a 3-2 vote— a $759,000 twnd ordinance to finance^ a municipal building. *
Councilmen Howard Klau and Richard Kaplan dissented.
At the suggestion of Mayor Morton Salkind, who said the ordinance merely set aside funds, Council President Lawrence Grossman named a committee of the whole to study alternatives for a municipal building before advertising for bids.
To issue bonds, Salkind said, requires four votes by
the council.Arthur Krasinsky, 3 Ver
non Rd., presented a petition signed by 788 residents opposing the bond authorization and demanding that plans for six township parks be implemented. The council has appropriated $1.2 million for parks construction.
Parks Committee member Neal Burkholz maintained that plans were submitted to the administration more than four months ago and have not been acted upon.
Mayor Morton Salkind said he received the plans only a month ago from Deputy Mayor Arthur Gold- zweig, who had them one week prior. Many of the park plans, Salkind said, must be
„ revised.During the hearing, many
residents acknowledged the need for a new municipal building, but called for a. “re-ordering of priorities.”
“The problem,” said Martin Gitten, 33 Millay Rd., a Republican council candidate in 1973, “is we do have a municipal building, inadequate as it may be. We do have police facilities, inadequate as they may be. But we don’t have recreation facilities. That is not even inadequate.” '
“We have a problem with children,” said Jay Schwim- ert, 19 Ottawa Rd. North. “We are going to have a tremendous influx of teenagers in five years that might roam all over the
Merton Salkindstreets. What you are talking about is a structural improvement (the municipal building) and I think that your priorities should be re-ordered and geared for children.”
Republican Club leader Sidney Leveson charged, “I did not see anything about a municipal building at the top of your campaign priorities.”
Burkholz and Zoning Board member Herbert Gold, who campaigned actively for Salkind and several councilmen, charged them with being “unresponsive” to the issues of the people.
“Everyone was so concerned in 1971. Where are the parks?” , Gold said. “Where are the children going to play? We need a municipal building, we need police facilities, but our priorities have been set. I don’t see how you can deny children in this town recreation they have been promised for five years.”
Burkholz said he was a R e c re a tio n C om m ittee member with a three-year term, but added, “Mort found a way to get me off that.”
“Like that,” Salkind replied, snapping his fingers.
In the 1971 campaign, Burkholz said, “the biggest issue was that the government was not responsive. And you are not responsive.
This is not 198-1. You do what we want."
When Kaplan objected to voting on the bond ordinance before building or site plans were reviewed, Salkind said he would present details before the hearing ended.
“ I don’t want to see those plans at 3 in the morning,” said Mrs. Sue Klau, wife of the councilman.
The hearing had been continued March 28 when Kaplan and several residents protested the unavailability of plans. The Division of Local Finance, which last month extended the township debt lim it for the ordinance, was said to have been studying the plans.
Grossman temporarily closed the hearing as Salkind unveiled blueprints for the building, proposed for a 17-acre site on Wyncrest Road, across from the municipal library now under construction.
Councilman John Croddick said he did not “think this town warrants a $700,000 municipal building.” Other buildings in the township, Croddick said, could be purchased or leased. One site, across Route 79 from the present building, Croddick said, could serve the town for 20 years. At that time, he added, the council could re-evaluate township needs.
The present building has neither plumbing nor heating, Grossman said.
“If you think facilities must be good for our children,” Grossman said, “what about facilities for our municipal employees, who work day in and day out?”
• Many residents, Councilman Richard Vuola said, do not want or need recreation facilities.
“Before I agree to anything else,” Vuola said, “there is going to be a housing code. If we are going to. talk about priorities, I think we should talk about human priorities.”
Last month, Vuola urged the entire council to make a personal examination of substandard homes within the township before revising the code.
A DREAM COME TRUEWe all have a vague picture in our mind of how we would like our yard to look.
We may think of it as an English garden or possibly something with an Oriental feeling. The difficulty comes in trying to focus the various elements into a plan of action. There are so many things to consider that it almost overwhelms us and too often we may settle for something far short of our dream.
Our experience and ability enables us to see your picture and make it come alive. We can also suggest features that you may have overlooked or merely set aside because they seemed too complex. Before you discard your dream, come over and tell us about it.

" I am very curious as to when the mayor and council will visit,” (the homes) Vuola said. "If we do not face it now, it is going to hit
us."Vuola, Grossman, and
Croddick voted for the ordinance.
“Every one of us,” Kaplan told the council,” was elected to represent the people and the priorities were built in. Recreation was a big forerunner in the campaign, and a municipal building
was an issue, but not a ballyhoo.”
Accusing the administration of inaction on the park proposals, Klau said, “The administration had these plans months ago. I am sure if this municipal building was approved, bulldozers would be out tomorrow.”

says he is still waiting for an answer from Mayor Morton Salkind.
In response to complaints from residents, Klau said Thursday that he had begun an inquiry concerning a
Coundl drops shuttle bus line for commutersMARLBORO
Citing a lack of riders, the Township Council Thursday unanimously canceled a free commuter shuttle bus
service.Begun for a 90-day trial
period in mid-March, the bus carried residents from Monmouth Heights to Transport of New Jersey bus stops along Route 79.
Last month, Mayor Morton Salkind told the council that average daily use did not “meet the minimum originally estimated.”
Created during the energy
crisis as a means of fuel conservation, the service was designed to handle 40 or 45 riders a day. If it had been successful, Business Administrator Mary Denton said, more routes and stops would have been added for resi
dents.However, Salkind had said
an additional $1,000 would be needed to continue the program.
The resolution ending the service was read by Councilman John Croddick; there was no discussion.
Last month, the Holmdel Township Committee discontinued its plans for an intratownship shuttle bus route because of inadequate response to a survey from residents.
Seniors welcome new membersKEYPORT
Margaret Benedict and Morris Schainman were welcomed as new members by the Keyport Senior Citizens at a meeting held June 3 at the VFW Hall, Third and Waverly streets.
The club is planning a trip to see the ice show at Convention Hall, Atlantic City.
full-time township employee who was attending Brook- dale Community College.
Klau maintains that he wrote both the mayor and Township Attorney Herbert Bierman May 16 requesting an explanation, but has not received a reply.
"I think a simple response would have answered my question,” Klau said.
Deputy Mayor Arthur Goldzweig, also head Of the Dept, of Finances, told Klau the employee was receiving full-time wages. When Klau asked for an explanation, Goldzweig “advised me to go to the mayor for that answer,” Klau said.
The inquiry concerned Mrs. Sheila Gross, administrative assistant to the mayor, and wife of Planning Board member Leonard Gross.
Salkind, who said he never received Klau’s letter, claimed, “ I have been with Klau six or seven times and he has never brought it up.”
“Matters like this are only brought up in writing,” Klau said Sunday.
The councilman’s remarks were precipitated Thursday by an outburst involving his wife and Mrs. Gross during an often stormy public hearing on a municipal building bond ordinance.
Mrs. Klau requested recognition to speak, but Council President Lawrence Grossman indicated Salkind would present details for the proposed facility.
Walking up to the council table, Mrs. Klau again asked to speak.
When Grossman told her she was out of order, Mrs. Gross, who was sitting in the front row, applauded.
“That’s it, the prosecutor' tomorrow,” Mrs. Klau told her.
As Klau urged his wife to leave the meeting room,
Mrs. Gross laughed and shouted, “Go, baby go.”
Many in the audience also left the room to join Klau, Salkind, and Mrs. Klau in the hallway of the Marlboro Elementary School.
While friends subdued his wife at the opposite end of the hallway, Klau told reporters about his inquiry and the lack of response.

As Salkind approached. Klau told him it was a private press conference.
“This is a public building,” Salkind replied, “and I can hear what you say.”
Later, Salkind said, "Mrs. Klau has hated Mrs. Gross ever since Mrs. Gross was elected a McGovern Democratic national delegate in November 1972. Mrs. Gross has been working for the town an average 50 to 60 hours a week, with many nights and weekends.”
In addition, Salkind said, Mrs. Gross has “been taking two work related courses (political science and journalism) at Brookdale.”
“I did not say there was any wrongdoing,” Klau said, “just an impediment of an investigation.”
“I would like an answer to my question, as due me as a councilman representing people that have inquired," Klau said. “When leaders of the community fail to answer these questions, it becomes a credibility gap as in Washington.”
Salkind said later he did not “appreciate references
to Washington. Watergate or other matters, because we are the most open of 567 municipal governments (in the state)."
Klau said he is sending Salkind another letter, re turn receipt requested.
"Councilmen are ignored in various matters," Klau said. "The good that could come out of this is that when a councilman asks a question, he receives an answer. The council still has some powers, and one of those is investigation, and"if we take that away, you might as well just have a mayor.”
Despite the incident Thursday, Klau said, his investigation is proceeding as planned.
“ I am turning all records over to the council president for him and the council to act upon,” Klau said. He added that only Councilman Richard Kaplan has called him about the investigation.
“ I don’t see why the others aren't inquiring,” he said. ‘ What I am looking for is a response in the same manner as I requested, in writing.

Marlboro school bond referendum endorsedVirtually everyone in Marlboro agrees that the
township needs a middle school, but there is opposition
to the proposed bond issue to finance the building.
Opponents of the referendum which will be
submitted to voters Tuesday contend that the Board of Education should wait for the Legislature to determine
how it will satisfy a court requirement to establish a
new system for financing public schools.
The Legislature’s new tax structure, according to the ■argument, may relieve local school districts of the
burden of capital improvements. If Marlboro proceeds with plans for the middle school, it may miss an opportunity to obtain state aid for the construction.
The argument has merit, but there are several
problems with it. The need for the school is urgent, and
waiting for the state may result in overcrowing for
several years.
The Legislature has until Dec. :il to approve an
alternate method of financing education. Judging by
the response to Gov. Brendan Byrne’s tax proposal,
legislators may go to the deadline before agreeing on a
plan.
The Legislature then has a year in which to
implement the new tax structure. If the approved plan
includes a provision to assume capital costs, local school districts undoubtedly would have to obtain the approval of the state Dept, of Education for any proposed construction. That, too. would take time.
There is little doubt that the cost of the proposed school would increase tremendously while wating for
Editorial Opinion
the state to act. The escalation of cost which occurred
when the Robertsville II project was delayed last year provides convincing testimony to the price of
procrastination. . •
The Board of Education this year, has done a
commendable job in preparing plans for the school and
publicizing them. It has also explained the financial
impact of the bond issue on homeowners’ tax bills.
That impact would be diminished, of course, if the
Legislature comes up with a plan which would bring some tax relief to property owners.
The interests of Marlboro and its schools would best be served by approval of the referendum Tuesday.
Delaying construction of the middle school would increase costs and have an adverse affect on the
quality of education available to Marlboro’s children.
Keyport Youth Athletic League’s new fieldThe Keyport Youth Athletic League marked a
milestone in its history—and the borough’s—when it
dedicated a new baseball field Saturday at Cedar
Street.
The baseball diamond is the first official Little
League field in the borough, and it was constructed
with volunteer help and the combined financial support
of the league and the Borough Council.
During the spring, the field will be used by the
KYAL’s major league teams and the high school’s girls
softball team. During the summer, it will be used in the
Recreation Commission’s seven-week program for borough youths.
The facility was sorely needed and its construction
was made possible by the KYAL officials who not only donated their labor, but also signed a bank note to
finance part of the cost.
The Borough Council also contributed funds to the
project and, according to Councilman Richard Volpe,
is considering adding other recreation facilities to the site.
Recreation is one area in which the borough has
made significant pragress in the past few years, and
hopefully construction of the KYAL field and the park
at the West Keyport School will provide new
momentum to the council and the Recreation
Commission.
Meanwhile, residents can do their part by helping the
KYAL pay off its noi:e. Contributions can be sent to the
league at 126 Chingarora Ave.

Sir:Why should the five members of the Matawan
Borough Democratic Club take offense at having the truth come out in the open? Unless, of course, as they say, “The truth hurts.” What have they got to hide?
Don’t you think you are criticizing the wrong man? After all, you campaigned for Ralph Dolan, the whole man, and that included his honesty. Isn’t that why you want Ralph Dolan elected as coun'cilman?
Isn’t it a fact that Elliot Schnabel took it upon himself to send letters throughout the borough asking the public to vote for Richard Schwartz, and he signed this letter as president of the Matawan Borough Democratic Club, when in fact the club knew nothing about the letter before it was circulated.
I don’t recall Tom O’Hara’s name ever being mentioned. Since the club endorsed two candidates, the letter should also have mentioned two candidates, or it should never have been sent out with the club’s name on it. If this was Elliot Schnabel’s personal endorsement, then that should have been made clear. Therefore, I cannot blame Ralph Dolan and Walter Blaine for being upset with the distorted campaign being run by the followers of Richard Schwartz. Messrs. Blaine and Dolan never said that Mr. Schwartz campaigned against Mr. O’Hara and Theodore Phelan. Yet if this type of campaign was not being run, why did Mr. Schwartz and his supporters find it necessary to set up their own, separate headquarters on election day?
To the people who wrote the letter criticizing Ralph Dolan and Walter Blaine—it is time that many things came out in the open about the so-called split in the Democratic party. You are the ones who chose to make a major issue of it! You are the ones who used campaign tactics not worthy of the Democratic Party or of Richard Schwartz himself! No one is denying the fact that Richie is extremely capable of handling a position as councilman and certainly Blaine and Dolan have stated that. It was the fact that they refused to support the sneaky tactics of his followers that I believe you are taking offense at. I don’t feel it was wrong for Mr. Dolan to object to unfair campaigning for as municipal leader. Isn’t it his job to make sure all the rules are being followed?
A candidate or elected official takes on many responsibilities, but the job he does is only as good as the help he gets from his supporters. It is they who make up the majority—not one lone man. So I feel it is time for you people to take a good look at yourselves and your values. It is you who can make or break a party and it is you who are causing the strain. Nothing can be accomplished by being sneaky. Maybe it is time the public reviewed your actions and saw both sides of the story; namely, that some of the grievances are based on personal clashes and should not interfere with the political issues. ’ •’ " ‘ • - • ......................

Sir:Gov. Brendan Byrne has done that which was
predictable. He has called for an income tax! Newly elected governors of either party seem to have this propensity. They no sooner assume the office than they apparently become awed by the vast amount of money the state churns through each year and immediately call for additional taxes to meet the budget. From where we ordinary citizens sit, it appears that no effort is ever directed to cutting the budget down to size where it can be met with existing taxes.
We must know by now that the state is no longer as docile as it once was when it was indeed content to make do with whatever revenue it could garner from nuisance taxes. It used to be said that if one had no vices, like smoking and drinking and betting on horses, one paid no state taxes at all!
Those were the days! It wasn’t very fair but no one really minded very much. The total take was so small, such inequities went largely unnoticed. But now the critter has grown too large. Its appetite is insatiable. It will want more and more unless we deny it this last revenue source—the income tax—and thus force it back into its cage. Politicians and bureaucrats need to be frequently reminded that the state is still, as all good governments should be—limited.. The governor has said the Botter decision leaves no choice. Nonsense! The court decision doesn’t say we must have an income tax. It merely says that all schools should spend the same money per pupil. This too is a debatable point but there is no reason for the governor to use it as an excuse for an added tax. There is only one reason for the governor to act as he does—he wishes the power to tax and spend to pass from the borough halls and county courthouses to that far away place known as Trenton where the distance will make it more difficult for us ordinary citizens to keep our eye on the three walnut shells!
The school system as we now know it (and unfortunately have so far accepted) is bad enough with local control. What will it be when the tune is called from Trenton? Anyone who thinks a dollar spent for an income tax will be one saved from the property tax is
"naive. We shall be lucky if every buck saved locally doesn’t cost us two for the state and that will just be for openers.' From then on when the urge to get a little more comes over our unknown “friends” in Trenton, they’ll simply turn the screw on their new gizmo a little
tighter—without so much as a by-your-leave.When the first sales tax was put on in Gov. Hughes’
time, it was expected to reduce property taxes. It did—about 10 percent and lasted about 6 months, after which it seemed to have no effect whatever. And wasn’t it slick the way Gov. Cahill jacked it up from 3 percent to 5 percent? We never even felt a ripple of relief from the property tax that time. Nor did they ask our permission. They just said it was necessary to “meet the needs” etc, etc. We must convince our legislators to forget these so-called “needs”, and deny the new tax and thus make the bureaucrats squirm under the ceiling. It will soon be apparent then which needs are real and which are imaginary.Stevenson M. Enterline 8 Church St.Matawan

Sir:At the May meeting of the Marlboro Township
Republican Club, Superintendent of Schools Albert Caferio and members of the Board of Education presented the plans, for the proposed middle school.
Through a slide presentation, the proposed site was viewed. Also the floor plan of the structure and the building as it would appear on the site.
It became apparent from the estimated school enrollment charts that Marlboro does need a school or shortly we are again going to have overcrowded schools With the threat of double sessions. It should be noted that the estimated school enrollment is accurate (within one percent), only if our present zoning laws remain the same, i^ny influx of homes would put an extra burden on our schools. -

Beers Street made one-wayIIOIMDKI.
As soon as signs are installed, all traffic will travel south on North Beers Street, from Bethany Road to Bayshore Community Hospital.
In an emergency resolution adopted Monday night, the Township Committee also banned parking on both sides of the street to allow emergency vehicles to move easily. One-way traffic, the resolution said, will facilitate the increased traffic flow to the hospital.
In addition, Township Attorney S. Thomas Gagliano said, plans have been completed for the widening and realignment of the street, and the installation of sewer lines. Construction will begin
and end next year, Gagliano said.
The resolution is effective for 90 days. When the state Dept, of Transportation ap-. proves the traffic change, Gagliano said, both a noparking and a one-way traffic ordinance will be introduced.
In other action, Ptl. Thomas Drudack, of South Holmdel Rd., was unanimously promoted to sergeant. Dur- dack, a six-year veteran, was sworn in by Township Clerk John Wadington, as relatives and friends watched. The third sergeant on the force, Durdack will

After the swearing-in ceremony, more than 25 persons left the meeting, prompting Mayor George Boggio to remark that the Durdack appointment “emptied the room.”
Only eight people stayed for the remainder of the meeting.
Construction at the intersection of Holland and Telegraph Hill roads has revealed that a 16-inch water main must be relocated, Gagliano told the committee.
West Keansburg Water Co., which owns the main, and the township will each pay $9,990, or 50 percent of
the relocation cost, whichever is less
The cost includes extensive work on the main, Township Engineer Leon S. Avakian said. The main serves the northern end of the township.
A $5,231 bid was awarded to Circle Chevrolet for the purchase of a crew cab pick-up truck.
Former Planning Board Chairman Larrabbee Smith and J. Paul Januzzo and board member John Sipress were appointed by Boggio as an advisory committee to the board. The committee will study land south of the New York-Long Branch R .R ., currently zoned 1-10. Boggio
said the parcel has been under discussion since the adoption of the open spaces provision.
Jeanette Januzzo and Dennis Collins were appointed to the Swimming Pool and Tennis Committee.
The Township Committee also renewed seven Alcoholic Beverage Control licenses.
Tax Assessor Mrs. Shirley Cox was commended by Boggio for the successful completion of an advanced tax collections course at Rutgers University Course instructor Francis X. Kenny wrote the committee that Mrs. Cox achieved a grade of 97, the highest in the class.

Marlboro tot still in coma
MARLBORO
In an effort to avert accidents in private swimming pools, the Township Council will consider a revision of its zoning ordinance.
The council declared a 45-day moratorium on pool permits early Friday morning at the urging of a resident who demanded a review of the ordinance.
Business Administrator Mary Denton will speak with the township engineer, building inspector and police officials to study possible revisions.
“We have seen a tragedy in this town which affects me very terribly,” said the resident, who asked not to be identified. “Jonathan Myers is in a coma after being
.fished out of a swimming pool in his backyard.”
Jonathan, the 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Myers, 4 Norwood Ct., is in Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital, New York City. A neighbor found him June 10 floating in his backyard pool.
“ Anybody who contemplates use of a swimming pool, contemplates risks,” the resident said. “Those of us who are not willing J;o take

Crackdown on pool safety considereddoing with tragic results.”
Currently, the zoning ordinance requires pools to be fenced. The fence must have a gate and lock.
According to Mrs. Denton, a pool workman inadvertently left the Myers’ gate open.
“It was human error,” she said, “there is no way you can control it.”
However, Mrs. Denton said she is investigating several protective measures.
One possibility, she said, would be to install an alarm on the gate which would sound if the gate was left open.
“It is a problem, the legal question as to what you can and cannot do,” she added.
Marlboro’s zoning ordinance for swimming pools is as restrictive, if not more, than other municipalities’,
Mrs. Denton said.Mrs. Denton will report
her findings and recom
mendations to the council at its June 27 meeting.

The upright combines suction with a brushing anchor beating action to clean both surface and deep down dirt from your rugs. The canister is more versatile and can be used for most every kind of household cleaning. It is a compact box, tank, or round unit used with a hose and attachments to clean rugs and carpets, bare floors, tables, walls, blinds, and more. Supplemental cleaners you could own are a lightw eight upright ■cleaner, a portable hand Vacuum cleaner, a heavy-duty cleaner or Un~ electric broom. Be sure to ask for a demonstration to see which one does what you want, best.

Monmouth monument will conclude the festivities.
Perhaps the most famous participant in the Battle of Monmouth on June 28, 1778, was Mary Ludwig Hays, also known as Molly Pitcher.
General George Washington commissioned her as an American army sergeant after her heroic action during the battle.
Molly brought pitchers of cool spring water to her husband, a cannoneer, throughout the engagement. Upon seeing her husband wounded and topple to the ground, she dropped her water bucket, seized the cannon’s rammer, and declared that she would avenge her husband’s death by firing the cannon herself.
Called “Captain Molly” , the red-headed, frecklefaced woman wore an artilleryman’s coat and a cocked hat. While passing a line of French soldiers who had admired her bravery, Molly’s cocked hat was filled with gold pieces they had
tossed as presents.Molly’s courageous ac
tions were not limited to the Battle of Monmouth.
During the autumn of 1777, when the American army was attacked by the Brithish at Ft. □inton, a Hudson River fortification, Molly’s
husband failed to light his cannon and fled in the face of the oncoming foe.
Molly picked up his drop
ped match, ignited the cannon, and then ran off. Her first lesson in cannon firing was a brief rehearsal for the Battle of Monmouth, which occurred shortly afterwards.
The Mid-Monmouth-Greater Freehold Area Chamber of Commerce has invited the public to attend the parade, which will march east from Brinckerhoff Avenue down Main Street.
The parade has been designated as the official Monmouth . County B iCentennial Celebration for the national festivities in 1976, and the county’s commemoration in 1978.

By Don Hardie FREEHOLD BOROUGH
Councilman Roger J. Kane said Monday that the police will try to enlist the aid of parents whose children are allegedly harassing Kiaweh Avenue residents.
William H. Biddle of Kiaweh Avenue reported that his wife was recently threatened by a student from the Park Lane Intermediate School. The school is located on Route 33, across from the predominately black Center Street neighborhood
Biddle complained that students block Kiaweh Avenue traffic, swear at residents, throw rocks and bricks through windows, and display knives.
“You can’t even drive a car down that street when school is out without running someone over,” Biddle said. He suggested that the police keep the students on the sidewalks instead of in the street.
“What we will have to do is bring these kids in (to the police station) and bring their parents in,” Kane said. “ In the past, we used a police car to chaperone the kids. Unfortunately, we can’t afford the luxury of having the police there every day.” The council will ask the Board of Education to assign the truant officer to work with police to identify the instigators, Kane said
Mayor J. William Boyle noted that, “Once they (the students) step off school property they become a municipal problem,” rather than the responsibility of the school board.

special policemen be assigned to the school at dismissal. The patrolmen could learn to identify troublemakers, which is the first step in solving the problem, according to Boyle.
Boyle also said that the borough should rely on the Municipal Juvenile Conference rather than the county Juvenile Court because of a six-month backlog in the court.
The borough’s problem stems from a “ lack of education,” said Freehold Township Police Sgt. Warren Spencer who initiated a “rap session” program to deal with a similar problem in the township.
“Try other alternatives besides jumping on the kids and taking them to court,”
said Spencer. He believes that talking to young black students can eliminate their “anamosity toward white people.”
Chronic juvenile offenders often receive six-month probation, because Jamesburg and Annandale (juvenile detention centers) are filled up, according to Spencer. “The courts aren’t the answer, mayor, it’s up to the community itself,” he concluded.

Council urged to clean park, crack down on vandalismMATAWAN TOWNSHIP
A group of Myrtle Street residents demanded Monday that the Township Council take action against out-oftown youths wRo they said have made their neighborhood “a Woodstock” .
The youths come to the neighborhood to play baseball at Giusti Park, said McKinley Cabbagestalk, spokesman for the group.
“These guys are standing in the middle of the street, guzzling gin, cheap wine.
and anything they can get for a cheap high," Cabbagestalk told the council. “The bums double-park and triple
park and won’t move when you tell them to. People are afraid to come out of their homes.”
Cabbagestalk read a series of steps the group wants the council to take against the youths, including the banning of parking on both sides of Myrtle Street, posting signs setting the speed limit to 20 miles per hour, restricting use of the park to township residents, and erecting a fence 15 feet high around the park.
The group also wants the council jo provide daily maintenance of the park, place more garbage cans around the field, move the baseball backstop and parking area away from the street, and build a tennis court on the site.
“We pay the highest taxes in the area,” Cabbagestalk said, “and' we have the lousiest park in the area.”
Windows in several homes on the street have been broken, he added, and one
neighbor was robbed.The problem is not con
fined to Myrtle Street, he said. "All of Cliffwood is getting bad,” he told the council, “because they feel we're easy pickings.”
One of his neighbors is moving because of the problem, Cabbagestalk said, urging the council to take immediate action.
“I don’t want to lose another neighbor,” he said.
Commented Vincent Walker of Cliffwood Avenue: “We’re trying to make the neighborhood a better place, but it’s only a fool who will allow himself to stay there and watch his investment go down.” -
The residents also objected to a proposal to erect storage tanks for alcohol at the intersection of Grove and Locust streets. The Devon Chemical Co. plans to submit the proposal for the tanks and a manufacturing plant to the Planning Board, according to James Connelly, a fire commissioner.
The fire commissioners “are opposed to any such operation,” Connelly said.

The borough and township councils two years ago agreed to eliminate the hazards if the board would provide the extra bus service for one year. The hazards have not been eliminated, although both municipalities are planning projects which would remove some of the
problems.The board did not provide
hazardous-route busing at the beginning of the 1973-74 school year but modified its policy several months ago.

Council balks at Byrne's plan to run tracksFREEHOLD BOROUGH
The Borough Council passed a resolution Monday urging Gov. Brendan T. Byrne to abandon plans for state racetrack takeover.
The council said it opposes state operation of racetracks because it would interfere with free enterprise.
“The state eventually would probably end up losing money,” said Councilman Roger J. Kane, “and it would be a detriment rather than a help to the state.”
The council also passed a resolution supporting Assembly Bill A-1488, which calls for additional allocations to local health centers. Borough Attorney Richard O’Conner said that if the bill passes, Freehold’s share of state health aid would increase from approximately $6,000 to $12,600.
Carl Potensky, 12 Brinker- hoff Ave., was appointed to the Borough Housing Authority. Potensky will replace Dorothy Walling, who resigned “due to other commitments.”
Foley Machine Co. of Piscataway was awarded a $22,890 contract for a tractor with a front loader. Lower bids were rejected because they did not conform to specifications.

Assemblyman Richard Van Wagner, a teacher at Matawan Regional High School, gave his American history students lessons in practical politics this year
by taking them to Trenton to observe the State Legislature in session. Students also conducted a mock legislature.
S t u d e n t s l e a r n w h y t e a c h e r ’s w o r d

By Maureen Daly
MATAWAN
“History is past politics,”
a 19th century English noble
man once said, “and politics,
present history.”
That saying rings true for
Matawan Regional High
School students of Richard
Van Wagner, who are learn
ing American history
through contemporary legis
lative affairs at the Trenton
statehouse. "
Van Wagner, a teacher
and a freshman Assembly
man (D-Mon), has infused
his United States history
classes with personal obser
vations of the legislative process.
One class, comprised of
seniors, and jointly taught by Van. Wagner and Harriet
Primack, social studies dept,
head, made its own political
observations by attending
legislative sessions and com
mittee meetings with Van Wagner.
Attempting to comprehend
all the facets of a govern
m ent dec is ion-m ak ing
process, the seniors also
formed a mock legislature to
discuss, propose, debate,
and vote on bills, resolutions,
and other legislative action.
“ We legalized everything,” Barb Jones said,
“from prostitution to mari
juana.”
“If we knew something
was going to come -up in
Trenton,” Lynn Ash said,
“we would debate it first
among ourselves. We always
finished before they (the Legislature) did.”
Although students agreed
P angakos finishes
M a r in e b o o t c am p
Peter Panagakos, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Panagakos of 96 Idlebrook Lane, Matawan, has been graduated from recruit training at the Marine Corps Recruit
•Depot*'Parris Island, S'.C."'
there was a need to form temporary political alliances
for a bill’s passage, they
criticized many of the tactics
they saw in Trenton.
“There was an awful lot of
garbage,” one student said.
“Legislators would spend ^n
hour on trivial matters.”
“That was not so stupid,”
Van Wagner said. “They did
that because they were
trying to delay action on the
floor.”
Some bills were more
volatile than others, students
said, but all of them seemed
to be handled the same way.
For example, one said,
there was considerable dis
cussion of a bill which would
have placed municipal
sewage authority employees
under Civil Service.
“It seemed that they were talking much nicer than they
would have normally,” the
student said.
Several students who were
present at the floor debate on voter registration by post
card criticized the lack of
candor among many of the
speakers.
“You could just tell they
weren’t really coming out
and saying what they felt,” a
student said.
That might be true, Lou
Rainone replied, but “during
our mock session, we talked
too much. We would go on
and on.”
“Yeah, but we always
voted the way we talked,”
Lynn Ash argued.
Explaining that many
legislators unknowingly talk
circles around themselves, Van Wagner said that the
state Legilature does not
hold caucus meetings. Unless a legislator is a member
of the committee which
studied the bill, he said, its
introduction is usually the
first opportunity for exami
nation. .Van Wagner added that
many legislators want to go on record indicating support
for one position, although
they may vote differently.
For the students who
served as legislative aides to
Van Wagner, the action was
“fast and furious” .
One MRHS senior who sat
in the gallery while legis
lators debated the issue of
allowing girls to play in Little Leagues exchanged
animated words with a Little
League lobbyist.
“I was for it (girl play
ers),” Barb Jones said, “and
he was against it. Before long, the argument got
pretty intense.”
Other than that incident,
students said they generally
remained aloof from any
discussion.
“ I was just so amazed to
see all the hundreds of
people that came up to him
(Van Wagner),” one student
said. “Everybody wanted
something, wanted to say.
something.”In addition, facilities are
crowded, Van Wagner said,
and there are no offices for
Assemblymen. Committees
meet simultaneously with
the Assembly, he said, so a
“legislator is constantly run
ning between his floor seat
and the committee room.”
This new educational ap
proach to American politics
was not a simple one for
students, the Assemblyman
said.
“The research some of
these kids have done is
phenomenal,” he said.
One ambitious student,
Ms. Primack said, did a
thorough investigation “of
the state property tax
structure for the last 30
years, and this ws s all on his
own time.”
All in all, students claim
ed, they understood bureau
cracy and politics far great
er than if they had merely
read about it.Students also acknowledg
ed that they had a better
appreciation of Van Wag
ner’s legislative role.
“You can tell, in his eyes,
what he has gone through,” a
student remarked.

Police recover items stolen from MRHSMATAWAN TOWNSHIP
An investigation continues into the theft of almost $4,000 worth of musical instruments from the Matawan Avenue Middle School Thursday night.
The instruments were found in a wooded area behind the school early Friday morning.
While on patrol, Ptl. John Wagner discovered the school’s windows were broken at 2 a.m. Friday.
School Superintendent Dr. John E. Regan, who examined the damage, said bookcases were knocked over and debris was strewn around the halls. Four glass panels, worth about $300, were smashed, he said.
School employees found the 40 instruments in the woods, Regan said, “ all neatly piled up, waiting to be taken.”
It seems, Regan said, that the thieves hid the instruments, intending to retrieve them later.
“We were lucky to recover all of them,” Regan said. “Evidently, there is a ready market for these things.”
The burglary, Regan said, was the third break-in at the school last week. Two musical instruments were stolen.
Driver killed as car strikes R t 35 barrierKEYPORT
A Leonardo man was killed early Friday morning when the car he was driving hit a wood road barrier along a stretch of Route 35 that was under repair.
Police say Raymond E. Soemer, 20, of 13 Belleville Ave., was fatally injured when a 2x10 piece of wood from the barrier went through the side of the car and struck him in the head. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Bayshore Community Hospital, Holmdel.
The only other passenger, Robert DesBines, 18, of 454
Surf Ave., Belford, was uninjured.
According to police, Soemer was traveling southbound on Route 35 when he leveled 198 feet of barrier.
Ptl James Wilson investigated.

Marlboro to voteon middle school(Continued from Page I )
of Rutgers, found that
present facilities for middle
school students at Central
School, Route 79, are inade
quate “by every standard.”
With a built-in contingency
of 6 percent, the Board of
Education considers the total cost of the middle
school at $7,422,000 to be conservative; building con
struction costs are estimated at $5,396,000 and other miscellaneous costs, such as site work, professional fees, utilities, and furniture and equipment are calculated at
$1,966,000.
Interest only will be paid
on the school’s bonds in 1975
and 1976. The first payment
of principal will be made in1977.

Although the Planning Board and township Council
have not endorsed the mid
dle school proposal, the
Division of Local Finance
last month approved an
Extension of the township's
debt limit to finance con
struction.
Architect Jules Gregory
said he has designed the facility to permit the use of
trad itiona l educational methods while providing the
opportunity for modern con
cepts such as team teaching, independent study, and indi
vidualized instruction.
Two base units will each
house three grades and
maintain their own entrance,
parking area and playfield.
Each unit will contain a
commons and a dining area;
a small auxiliary gym, nurse
and guidance offices; typing,
music, art and shop rooms;
and a small administration
area.
The units will share a
language arts and media
center, a main gymnasium,
and kitchen and mainte
nance facilities.
A telephone hot line,
780-1203, has been set up to
answer questions concerning
the middle school proposal
and other board matters.
Letters to the EditorContinued from Page 4 j
cleared up misinformation and rumors which have circulated throughout our town.
On June 25, the residents of Marlboro will be asked to vote on this referendum. It is your responsibility to vote at the polls or vote by absentee ballot.
Before voting we urge you to hear the facts from the Board of Education or superintendent of schools, the experts.
The members of the Board of Education and the superintendent of schools should be praised for the time and energy they have spent on this proposal. They should be given the opportunity to present their case to you and answer your questions. Before you vote, you owe it to yourself and your children to get the facts!
