. . . and thoughts of a new Mini-Park in Scotch Plains Center may help get through the February "blahs." The site plan shownabove indicates the general type of design under consideration by the Scotch Plains Township Council, Some changes may be, forthcoming as final design and construction work progresses.

Sr. citizen housingdecision nears in SP

The Senior CitizenHousing Corporation ofScotch Plains has asked theScotch Plains TownshipCouncil for an interim loanwhich would facilitateflnalization of plans for ahousing complex here,Ultimately, all funding wouldcome from federal sources,

' but the Corporation requirestownship support in the formof a Si 10,000 loan, to sup-plement the 570,000 com-mitment of CommunityDevelopment for a six^monthto one-year period. The loanwould be HUD funds alreadyreceived to cover land pur-chase.

The Housing Corporation,under Chairman ThomasDeLuea, has been studyingneed and location of a seniorcitizen complex for twoyears, and is nearing finaldecision. As envisioned bythe Housing Corporation, a130-unit housing complexwould be built on land nowoccupied by Old School Oneon Park Avenue. The town-ship government of ScotchPlains has initiated condem-nation proceedings — anecessary move to acquire theproperty, being sold by theScotch Plains-FanwoodBoard of Education, Theland is evaluated at $180,000,NJHFA Is Financing Agency

As explained by WilliamBahrey, vice chairman of theCorporation, the Now JerseyHousing Finance Agency isthe decision-maker regardingthe overall site plan for the

housing, but input will besought on design and stylefrom all interested parties,including the town fathers,interested citizens and localorganizations. The NJHFAhas already approved ten-tative plans. All land pur-chases and construction costsare paid for by state fundsand HUD subsidies, In ad-dition, the township wouldreceive tax abatement whichis sufficient to pay for thenecessary township services:police, fire department, etc.

The tax abatement goesdirectly to the township cof-fers, and is not shared by anyother agencies. After 40years, at which time the mor-tgage would be paid, thefacility is turned over to thetownship as owners.

Need Is OutlinedThe Corporation has

studied estimated need forsome time, nnd envisions acomplex fully occupied byeligible citizens. The 1970census indicated a totalpopulation of 1390 citizensover 65 years of age. Of thesecitizens, 135 people werebelow the poverty level. Ofcitizens 60 years and over,166 svere below the povertylevel. Presently, 126 two-person households of whichthe head of the household is65 or over rusMiyc annual in-comes below $9,999, In the1975 tax year, 334 householdswith heads 65 or overreceived partial tax deduc-tions Continued On Page 2

Skeets sets recordin Millrose Games

Eightecn-year old"Skeets" Nehemiah of Scot-ch Plains topped the very bestthat the U.S. has to offer inthe way of hurdlers lastweekend, running for arecord in the 60-yard hurdlesat the Millrose Games inMadison Square Garden,

His effort fulfilled all theprophecies made for the trackstar during his successfulyears at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High, andestablished him as a sure con-tender for a spot on the 1980Olympic team, He graduatedfrom Scotch Plains-FanwoodHigh last June and is now astudent at U. of Maryland.

Before last weekend, therecord for the 60-meter hur-dles had been 7.11 minutes,set by Larry Shipp two yearsago. Last week, Shipp hadregistered a 7,13 in the race."Skeets" was timed elec-

C'l abandonsschool effort

TheFanwood BoroughCouncil, on a 4-3 vote, aban-doned plans to take legal ac-tion to retain LaGrandeSchool. The school is theonly one in the regional Scot-ch Plains-Fanwood districtwhich is within Fanwoodborders. It will be closed nextSeptember, following a votefor such action on the part ofthe Board of Education. Apetition had been submittedto the Borough Council, with500 signatures, asking Coun-cil to attempt legal means tofight the forthcomingclosing.

Patrick Dunne, a FanwoodCouncilman, introduced amotion, following over anhour of council discussion.His motion acknowledgedreceipt of the petitionprotesting the closing. "Afterconsidering all facets we feelit is in Fanwood1 s best in-terest in maintaining qualityeducation at a reasonablecost, to take no action."Seconded by CouncilmanLoren Hollembaek, themotion was approved byCouncilwoman Carol Whit-tington and CouncilmanFrank Boyle. CouncilmanWilliam Winey and RobertMcCarthy were in thenegative.

Earlier, the Council hadwritten to Board PresidentAugust Ruggiero, seeking ameeting of Fanwood andScotch Plains Council mem-bers and Planning Boardrepresentatives and Boardmembers, to discuss long-range school closings.Ruggiero and district ad-ministrators have suggestedthere may be further schoolclosings in years ahead, dueto declining enrollment pat-terns here. The FanwoodCouncil letter had suggestedthat the decision on LaGran-de might be studied along withother school closings.

In response, Ruggiero hadsuggested several possibledates for such a meeting, buthad very strongly indicatedthat it be understood beforesuch a meeting is held, thatwhile the Board wouldwelcome suggestions andrecommendations from bothCouncils on closings andpotential future uses Forschool sites no longer needed,"the majority of the fullBoard reaffirmed that thedecision to close LaGrande isfinal. Subsequently, in thefinal adoption of the budget,we removed staff positionsand expenditures totaling$209,000, as a result of theclosing of LaGrande,"

Mayor Ted Trumpp's letterhad also suggested calling inexpertise from the state andother sources. "Does thisstatement mean you and/orthe Fanwood Council as a•whole do not accept theBoard's decision as final?"Ruggiero asked. The Boardhas legal authority and suf-ficient reasons for such adecision and would ap-preciate a reply from Fan-wood Council on its positionon the LaGrande closingdecision.

Fanwood Councilmen andMayor Ted Trumppdiscussed at length the poten-tial legal fees which might en-sue from the undertaking ofa legal effort in behalf of theschool. Borough AttorneyFrank Blatz was not presentat the Council session andtherefore Council had no in-formation on costs.

Dunne asked how Councilcould put a dollar limit on alegal effort. The reaction tothe petition is an emotionlone, and "sometimes we haveto face hard realities," hesaid. The budget which hadbeen formulated before in-corporating savings on

The vacancyrate for rental housing alonedecreased slightly fiom 1.6 to1.5 percent, despite the factthat this type of housing ac-counted for 11.3 percent ofall housing uniis in 1970.

The final appearance of thefacade is undecided. DonNiNiuio. a member of theHousing Corporation, ex-pressed a view that he'd liketo see a more Colonial reelingthan that shown in the ten.tative design, and it is thisarea that community inputwill besought.

One Scotch Plains Coun-eimnn, Noel Musial, hassuggested a study retentionand restoration of theexisting school, Bnhrey, whilenot ruling this concept outaltogether, indicated thatonly 30 units could beprovided in the old school it-self, necessitating a large newaddition.

4. • .THE TIMES. FEBRUARY 2, 1978

Reminder on school budget voteIn recent years, despite ex-

tensive campaigns, publicrelations efforts, flyers, etc.to inform the public onschool budgets, a very smallpercentage of voters hasmade the final decision on theexpenditure which representsthe quality of education here.Next Tuesday, the ScotchPlalns-Fanwood electorateagain goes to the polls to casta vote on next year's schoolbudget and on candidates forthe Board of Education.

We think it is imperativethat people vote...but moreimportant, we strongly urgeevery voter to be completelyinformed on what he will

continue to enjoy if he votes

"yes" and what he could losein the way of educational ad-vantages if he votes "no."Every parent should listencarefully to the positions ofthe candidates running forthe Board of Education, todetermine where each can-dldate stands on priorities,for If the budget is defeatedagain, from all appearancesthis year, some areas which

parents strongly favor fortheir children could indeedfall by the wayside in theparing process.

During original budgetdiscussions, everything fromband to athletics, media cen-ters to supplementalteaching, class size tobuilding maintenance wasunder the gun, and one mustassume close scrutiny.

It is easy to vote "no," forit forestalls tax increase.However, a word must besaid for the deep impact ofinflation. Just as the averagetaxpayer tries to cope withever-soaring costs, so theschool district is faced withspiraling Inflation, too. Itdoes take more tax dollars tosupport continuation of moreof the same. An awareness ofexactly why the budget is in-creased is a prerequisite to avisit to the polls.

We suggest that each tax-payer exercise his right tovote...and make his vote awell-founded, informed one.

Opposes Budget

Dear Madam Editor:The school budget and

coming school board electionpresent the best proof yetthat the taxpayers of ourcommunities are in for afinancial shock, The Leagueof Women Voters lulled usinto believing that the incep-tion of the state income taxwould somehow magicallystem the outrageous propertytax increases of past years.Yet the local school board,what has and will have amajority of administration"rubber stampers" isproposing that you and I pay$400 more each year inproperty for so-called"economy" reasons! Con-servatives have told thecommunities for years thatadministration controlledschool boards blindly votelarge budget increases in theface of declining enrollments.

Look at the hypocrisy ofthe .current situation.. .theschool enrollments have

decreased by thousands since1970, yet the budgets have in-creased by millions! To addinsult to injury, the quality ofinstruction has not improvedalthough administratorssalaries have!

The current "crop" ofcandidates for the schoolboard is equally disappoin-ting. Three of the four arealready professing the oftenheard tired platitudes of"dignity and respect","spending as much as we canafford", "cooperation withthe professional staff".These are nothing more thansvords for doing what theadministration recommendswith little or no thought tothe besieged taxpayer.

The worst part of thiswhole affair is that we votersonly have ourselves to blame.Each year 1200 or so voterscontrol the school electionsand vote for "attractive"candidates who fall right intoline, 4000 or so voters stayhome, don't vote and thencomplain that taxes are toohigh and the kids talk likeilliterates!!

"End Negative-

To the Editor;The voters of Fanwood

and Scotch Plains have aunique opportunity in thisyear's Board of Educationelection on Tuesday. Theycan put an end to the type ofnegative attitude that hasplagued our towns' schooldistrict.

The time has come to stopbeating about the bush. Wehave a good school system. Itcould and should be a betterschool system with ninereasonable Board members todirect its policies. With ob-structionist members svhosesole purpose in life is to carryout personal vendettas regar-dless of the damage done tothe reputation of ScotchPlains-Fanwood, our schoo!system can only deteriorate.Students' and teachers'morales have been lowered,key administrative positionshave remained unfilled formonths; tensions haveheightened in our schools andour communities. Under-standably, this has resulted ina lessening of our propertjvalues.

What we need are in-telligent, mature andreasoning people who havethe children at heart, and cansit down as thinking humanbeings to help resolve com-plex school problems withoutmaking a circus of the Boardof Education.

Very truly yours,Dorothy D. Ericsson

So all the budget details we have been hearing and readingabout during the past week should not be taken as an inflexibleaccount of spending levels and policies to be followed in fiscal1979. A broad outline has been drawn, but significant detailsare open to revision.

In particular, I want Congress to increase the tax cutsbeyond the $25 billion level recommended by the President. Inaddition, I want a formula established ensuring thatmeaningful tax cuts go to middle-income families.

Statistics show that middle-income Americans bear thebrunt of tax burdens. Yet they receive little benefit under theAdministration tax program. This is a gross inequity that mustbe corrected.

The omission of federal funding for a third VA hospital inNew Jersey must be remedied.

Construction of a 480-bed VA hospital in the Camden areato serve South Jersey — and to take the pressure off VAhospitals in Lyons and E. Orange which primarily serve UnionCounty and other parts of Central and North Jersey — wasapproved more than a year ago as an essential part of expan-sion plans for VA medical services.

As a presidential candidate. Carter gave wholeheartedbacking to this expansion. But now that he has the ability todeliver, he's holding back. Because of it, many of New Jer-sey's 1,3 million veterans face the prospect of increasing dif,ficulty securing adequate medical care.

There also are inconsistencies in the budget that need to beironed out.

For example, President Carter has earmarked S30 millionfor an anti-smoking campaign with the aim of improvingpublic health. But in another part of the budget, he providesS33 million in subsidies for tobacco growers.

These subsidies, pushed through year after year with thehelp of a Southern voting bloc, simply squander tax dollars. Inthe spirit of achieving what he regards as a "tight and lean"budget. President Carter should have scrapped the outmodedtobacco subsidy program.

The professed leanness of his spending program comes intoquestion, too, with a sharp 23 percent increase being proposedin budget authority for foreign aid.

While favoring an increasing flow of dollars and tax-supported aid to other countries. President Carter proposespegging the highly successful public works program at the 1977level. It's a case of lavishly aiding foreigners while holdingback on badly needed job-producing programs for out-of-work Americans.

Funds have been included to reimburse private Industry fortraining unskilled youths and to start job demonstrationprojects as part of the welfare program. The goal of thisproposed spending is sound, but it could be achieved far more.effectively through tax incentives encouraging business to ex-pand and in so doing to create permanent new jobs.

Of course, many aspects of the President's budget deservepraise. For example, that he has apparently decided not to em-bark on costly major new programs in the next fiscal year.And he is expanding the federal college scholarship programsto make more middle-income students eligible.

In dollar distribution, the budget as submitted has essen-tially the same look as in recent years. Nearly one-fourth of thetotal spending is earmarked for defense; one-fifth for SocialSecurity, and one tenty for interest on government borrowing.

Four major programs — Medicare, Medicaid, unem-ployment compensation and pension checks — take the spen-ding to two-thirds of the total. All other government servicesand programs account for the balance.

Congress will be taking a close look at every line of thebudget in the weeks ahead. The final fiscal blueprint willprobably not please everyone, and may well remain above the$500 million level. But it will, I hope, represent a significantimprovement on the budget offered by President Carter.

Mayor Griffin submitting Proclamation to William Bahrey ofthe Ukrainian Congress Committte of America, Mr. GeorgeDreybich on Mayor's right.

On January 17 ScotchPlains Mayor Robert E. Grif-fin signed a Proclamationdeclaring January 22, 1978 asUkrainian IndependenceDay, in commemoration ofUkraine's January 22, 1918Declaration of Independencethat restored the UkrainianNational Republic. Therepublic did not long endure,for Immediately communistRussia attacked and within afew years incorporated thecountry as one of • therepublics of the Soviet Unionunder Moscow's completecontrol.

Since that time the SovietUnion has practiced culturaland physical genocide ofUkrainians through forced

Russification, massexecutions of politicalprisoners, and mass depor-tation of Ukrainians to con-centration camps. In morerecent years this deliberateand forced Russification hasintensified and so has theresistance of the Ukrainianpeople

The commemoration ofUkraine's Declaration of In-dependence is a fitting oppor-tunity to focus public atten-tion to Moscow's deliberateand continuous violations ofhuman and national rights,and to help the Ukrainians,suffering under Moscow, tocontinue their struggle forthose very rights until theyshall have been won.

IN MY OPINION

I rarely get involved or take sides in political con-troversy within the community, but the time has comefor me to speak up.

I speak as a Realtor with a very good feel for Fan-wood-Scotch Plains real estate values, and as a con-cerned school parent and life long resident,

I believe we have an excellent school system, but thepublicity we have received out of-Board of Educationmeetings over the past several years has done a greatdeal of harm to our reputation. The bickering andshouting and walking out of meetings, the blowing outof all proportion of the cheerleader incident and theleaking of confidential information to the Courier Newsis starting to destroy confidence and erode our propertyvalues. House hunting families reading of this raucousbehaviour by school board members, and who are notfamiliar with our fine schools, will seek to buyelsewhere.

Westfield is a prime example of a town whereDroblems are discussed by ladies and gentlemen andincidents are dealt with calmly by those in authoritywithout using the press to state one's position.

This election next Tuesday will give us a chance tochange the direction our image has been going andprovide good support for property values, and direct allof our energies to our children's education.

I therefore deem it important that totally new peoplebe elected to the board next Tuesday: people whorecognize the situation I have mentioned, and areanx IOUS to correct it. These people are Andy Pastor andKathy Meyer in Scotch Plains, and Lou Jung in Fan-wood I believe they are of the quality I speak, and I urgetheir election, for the sake of our property values, ourpublic image, and our children.

Council ok's parkingon Slocum property

FEBRUARY 2, 1978, THETIMES. , .7

The Fanwood BoroughCouncil gave unanimous ap-proval last week to a recom-mendation from its Buildingand Zoning Committee forprovision of a 40 x 65 footparking space on the Slocumproperty. The additionalparking vvould be located in acleared space directly acrossfrom the Borough Hall onWatson Road,

It is a temporary move,designed to accommodatecars of public safety volun-teers who report to man fireand rescue equipment. Therehave been problems for thesevolunteers in parking,especially since "NoParking" signs went up onthe north side of WatsonRoad, Committee ChairmanCarol Whittington reported.

The space would require asmall amount of leveling ofland, and elimination of acouple of trees. They are notvaluable specimen shadetrees, but hemlocks, whichare "no great loss," in the

view of Councilman RobertMcCarthy,

When the volunteers parkin the parking lot at the rearof Borough Hall, they losevaluable response time,Councilman Patrick Dunneindicated.

There will be no asphalt orblacktopping, but a gravelbase would be put in, whichcould be covered over andsodded later, when theproperty is developed for anew municipal facility. Thearea will be reserved for thevolunteer personnel, and thelot will include signs to thateffect.

The Environmental Com-mission and Shade TreeCommission will be asked toprovide opinions on theparking lot and tree removal.

In other actions, MayorTrumpp named Ruth Cof-fman to tne KecreanonCommission, for a term ex-piring in December of 1982,Norman O. Geuder was ap-pointed as Borough ZoningOfficer.

The , bride-elect wasgraduated from ScotchPlains-Fanwood High Schooland is attending the Univer-

sity of South Florida,graduating in June with adegree in Psychology and willpursue a masters degree inGuidance and Counseling.

Her fiance was graduatedfrom Miami Springs HighSchool and is attending theUniversity of South Florida,graduating in June with adegree in Biology andEducation and will pursue amasters degree in Education.

The couple will be marriedin August, 1971.

LaGrande closing hasresulted in cuts in guidancecounselors and media ex-change for keeping abuilding, he said. Superin-tendent Reigh Carpenter'sstudies and those of an AdHoc Committee showed thatthe least impact on childrenwould be made by closingLaGrande. "I'd rather seemoney go Into education. Isay close another — ParkJunior High. We're wastingtime trying to keep the schoolopen."

Mayor Trumpp agreedwith the fact that there aretoo many schools for thenumber of children, butdisagreed that dollarsnecessarily denote quality. "Icould say something aboutthe Guidance Depar-tment. . . " he retorted.

McCarthy was strongly infavor of fighting to keep theschool. " I do not want a con-frontation, but 1 feel a strongobligation to honor thepetition. It represent? areasonable cross section ofresidents."

Boyle questioned theemotions of petition signers.He was unsure whether allsigned not only becauseof the LaGrande issue,feeling that some may haveused the petition as a vehicleto express general dissatisfac-tion with total operations ofthe Board of Education, withwhich he also has "alegitimate concern."

Boyle predicted that a legaleffort, in the face of the factthat the Board has totalautonomy, as resulting in alose-lose situation for Coun-cil. He suggested there aremany other citizens whowould be as concerned withCouncil expending tax dollarsin such an effort.

Real estate values werediscussed, Dunne argued thatno child would have to bebused in a re-districting, and

therefore there would be noadverse effect.

Only two citizens spoke tothe issue, Len Rubin pointedout that young childrenwould have to walk close to amile to a new school. He alsochallenged that the board ofEducation has been stallingthe Council in settingmeetings and/or providinginformation. "My concern ishaving a school in my town,"he said.

In contrast, Mrs, JoanneWilliams cited the fact thather child could "fall out thedoor" into School One, andwould be closer in a redistric-ting, eliminating somewalking. It is all a personal,emotional consideration, shesaid, whereas the educationallosses in the budget by main-taining the school would behighly detrimental.

"I will fight to the deathfor media^eenters. They arenot merely libraries. They areessential," Mrs. Williamssaid. She cited the value togifted children, and the usefor remedial work, sup-plemental work, etc.

Some LaGrande parentswent to realtors a year ago,and found that large cor-porations with potentialhome buyers rate the districtas good. She urged retentionof the positive aspects ofeducation here. "It is nice tohave neighborhood schools,but the decision has beenmade. Inflation is with us,and enrollments are down,"she stated. "I don't want in-ferior education to maintaina structure,"

Williams said she has beenin touch with Fanwoodparents with children atMcGinn and Brunner, andthey would not want theirchildren redistrieted back toLaGrande, in the event it-were kept open, i

first met Hubert when he was Vice-f n i Huberi Humphrey escn though 1

had learnvd of this remarkable man severalyears prior 10 iliat lime. We campaignedinueilu'r in Youngsiown. Ohio, just a few-luin days before ihe 1968 Presidential elec-linn. As was true of Hubert on all occasions,hi- Npirii of joy and happiness and his en-ihusiasm electrified the iremendous crowd of2(1,(XX) strong who had gathered on thai coldduy \o hear the many who should've becomePresident,

He spoke steadfastly of his beliefin fundamental human rights and his visionsim ihe fuuiie uf the country. And he spokeoi his belief in ihe hard-working laborers asihe hack bo lie of this great country. He e\-pie^scd the irue concerns he shared aboutAmerica's people and of his belief in theC'oiwiunion of ihe United Stales and thepromise it holds for all of its people who are

g to work to contribute to its ongoing

Tribute to a friendgreatness. And he spoke of his concerns forthe farmers of the Great Plains and theelderh and of hi» concerns for America'scities. But Hubert did more than speak of hisconcerns. In the Senate his legislative accom-plishments remain unequalled.

Those of us v>ho were privileged to knowHubert personally lened him. But even more.we knew that lie genuinely loved us too. Wecan never forget his honesty and his couragein steadfastly expressing his true beliefs. Andwe can never forget hovs much he seemed tocare for the handicapped children, espec-ially the mentally retarded, and for theelderly, and how he fought for programs toaid those who are less- fortunate. Yes.. Hubertlosed life and cared for others. And herefused to change his beliefs merely toachieve higher political office. Even thoughhe never did become the President, perhapshe achieved what realK matters in any event,/or as Senator Brooke mentioned, Hubertrealh held a position above the Presidencj

with his legislative freedom and ability in theSenate.

As for me, ihe; last of my heroes has k-ttthe American scene. There is no one left whoso embodies the qualities so many hold sodear — the true belief in the magnificence ofthis country and its ability, combined withthe lov e of life and for people everywhere, a;>well as the concern for others and the abilityto share his spirit, joy and enthusiasm withothers and to spark their imaginationb withcreativity and a zest to continue with the pur-suit of hanniness. Hubert will be sorelymissed • even by those who disagreed with hisideas, 1 don't believe that there will beanyone in out lifetime who will be able to fillihe void he's left. There doesn't seem to heanyone who possesses such a combination ofthese qualities. Never have I seen such aphenomenon — a man filled with such joyeven in the midst of heartache each time thePresidency e luded him — a man with anability to bring joy to his saddened suppor-

ters in the midst of defeat, and a man whocontinued to comfort others saddened overthe very fact that he was dying of cantereven though he knew it himself. Here was aman who really knew no self-pity. That spiritis gone, and no matter what your politicalbeliefs, you'll miss it.

Those of us who were privileged enough toknow Hubert will miss him. We loved* himand that spirit is gone forever. But perhapshis greatest tribute is the fact that millions ofpeople who never met him or talked with himyet still loved him, will miss him also. Let uspray thai the country will continue stead-fastly to proclaim its belief in its con-stitutional promises. Let is pray also that wewill continue to proclaim our faith in ourcountry's blessed virtue. Hubert would'u*wanted it that way.

His use of resourcepeople from the laboratoriesof outstanding museums suchas the Museum of NaturalHistory in New York, hisstrong emphasis on librariesand books as treasures ofknowledge, and hisimaginative use of theatre asa device make THE GREATDINOSAURS a suberblesson taught by a masterteacher.

Mrs. Krowe sa>s that con-trary to general thinking,camp followers during theRevolutionary War were notjust the undesirables ofsociety.

Most of them werewidows and children ofsoldiers whose homes hadbeen burned and sacked andwho literally had no place toao.

They would follow amember of their family ser-sing in the army and serve ascooks, do the laundry andnurse the wounded and sick.At first Gen. Washingtonconsidered camp follosvers anuisance but as the svarprogresbed, he realized theirvalue to the troops. Beforethe war was over,Washington gave orders thatthe camp followers who ser-ved as cooks and nurses, begiven half pay and halfrations.

Mrs, Krov,e will have adisplay of early Americancookv.are including cast ironpots and pans, wooden wareand tin ware. She will talkabout the food prepared bycamp follow ers on open logfires and she will explain howto care for antique coolingutensil.'i ab well as the moremodern cast iron adaptationsof today.

Mrs, Krosve will bake somel.aPayctie gingerbread cakefor visitors, to taste. Thisrecipe of MarthaWashington's is ordinarilybaked in a cast iron oven overan open fire. Antique utensilsun display will include aniron spider ( a large cast ironfrying pan with three feet)and a trencher, a rectangularwooden bowl from whichmany people were served.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUTSENIOR CITIZEN HOUSINGFrom SPSr. Citizen Housing Corp,

1. Why are suburban communities building SeniorCitizen Housing?

Communities across the nation are beginning torecognize the hardships faced by senior citizens,especially with regard to housing. Living on fixed in-comes, senior citizens are finding it difficult to meet therising cost of basic necessities such as food, clothing andutilities and still maintain a home or rent an apartmentin the suburbs. Many people have been forced to pull uptheir roots and move away from their families and friendsin search of areas where the cost of living is lower.Local governments and charitable organizations are ap-plying in increasing numbers for funds to help buildsenior citizen housing, so that those who wish to remainin their communities, can afford to do so.

2, Is there a need for Senior Citizen Housing in ScotchPlains?

Census data and several surveys show that there is aneed for subsidized housing for the senior citizens inScotch Plains. The proportion of senior citizens in ourpopulation is" increasing because people are livinglonger, so that by 980, it is estimated, this age group willaccount for nearly 15% of the total population of thetownship. A local survey and county studies of censustracts 385 and 386 which encompass Scotch Plains, in-dicate that a considerable number of those seniorcitizens will be in need of subsidized housing.

The Agape Fellowship, an adjunct of the CommunityChristian Fellowship of Scotch Flains-Fanwood-Plainfield willsponsor their sixth prayer and praise breakfast on Saturday,February llth at 8 am at the Westwood on North Avenue inGarwood.

The speaker will be Rev. William Scott, missionary of theAmerican Baptist Foreign Mission Society to South India.

A native of Ireland, Mr. Scott was educated in the BritishIsles. He originally went to India as a Missionary in 1950 wherehe met and married his wife, Joyce Yost. After two terms, theyreturned to the United States. They went back to India In 1961and he served at Karmnager as business manager of thehospital there under the church of South India.

In 1965 Mr, and Mrs. Scott were appointed as missionariesof the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. Since then,Mr. Scott has served in various capacities such as hospital ad-ministrator for three hospitals, supervisor of a Relief Commit-tee in India. He is chairman and advisor for Socio-Economlc

Projects of the Samavesam of Telugu Baptist Churches, whichhas rebuilt total villages which have been destroyed bytyphoons. Mr. Scott supervised the construction of the newcolony as well as helping plan the village. H e is directly in-volved in "food for work" projects, such a s drinking andirrigation wells. Literature distribution, director of correspon-dence courses and book clubs comprise another phase of Mr,Scott's busy life as a missionary.

We would like to invite everyone to this prayer and praisebreakfast which features special music a n d outstandingspeakers of various denominations tri-monthly. For ticket in-formation, call Mrs, Ted Elias at.889.2319.

Later on Saturday at 7;30 pm, Mr. Scott will meet with theYouth Fellowship Bible Study Class at the Scotch Plains Bap-tist Church on Park Avenue in Scotch Plains — All Youth In-vited. On Sunday, Mr. Scott will deliver the message at their10:30 Worship Service — Again, Everyone is invited.

, . .the firing of HanKStram as head coach of thrNew Orleans Saints points upa general weakness thatprofessional teams appear tohave. They seem to rush intolong term contracts sviih bothplayers and coaches withoutfully studying to see if the up-side potential is equal to orbetter than the dosvnside risk.

Now we all know thatHank Stram was a fine andsuccessful coach with theKansas City Chiefs, directingthem to a Super Bowl cham-pionship by thoroughlymanhandling the MinnesotaVikings. But when Stram washired by John Meeom tocome in and take completecharge of the Saints he wastaking on a different type ofteam.

In their strong desire to getStram the Saints gave him a

ten year contract right fromthe start. As it turns outStram appeared unable torelate to his veteran playersand it was reported he usuallyignored most of his youngerones. His record was a dismal7-21 for his two year tenure,and since the woeful Saintshave never won more than,five games in any one season'since their creationmanagement decided todump Stram and get someonewho could change thatsituation immediately.

But now they are stuckwith Strain's contract witheight years still remaining onIt. According to people inNew Orleans, the Saints willpay Stram one million dollars

t o tear up the contract. Sothere goes a bundle of cashdown the drain. A needlessoutlay of money that can

AS I SEE IT...i Y DICK CHILTON

only eventually be made up atthe fans expense.

Professional sports today,as everyone knows, is big, bigmoney. But I just don't seethe wanton squandering ofone million dollars when witha little more foresight such asituation could have beenprevented. The Saintsepisode with Hank Stram isnot new or unique. It hashappened many times in thepast to many teams and nodoubt will happen again. Butit just galls me to see "funnymoney" being passed aroundlike a Saturday night

monopoly game with theaverage'fan being the banker.For you can be sure it will bethe fan who will make up thatdeficit.

• • •

Don't be too sure thatGeorge Allen is heading west.The rumor that he will be thenext coach of the LosAngeles Rams (for the secondtime) may be blown a littleout of proportion. Allenwants complete control of theteam, something that theRams* front office is unlikely

• to concede. Allen might havea better chance at NewOrleans where the powersetup would be more to hisliking.

i

The current favorite for theRams j o b is Dan Reeves, theold Cowboy running back,who has spent the years sincehis retirement learning fromthe master, Tom Landry,

Talking about "funnymoney", Carroll Rosenblum,owner o f the Los AngelesRams, tmist have it to burn.He might just as well havetossed a bundle of it in thefire as t o pay Joe Namath$350,000 for his contributionto the Rams this past season.Namath made more thantwice as much as Craig Mor-

ton who only led his team in-to the Super Bowl.

Namath's salary is a merebag of beans though whenyou hear the report that O.J.Simpson took home $733,358for this past season's work.

1 was happy to see LouHoltz do so well at Arkansasthis season after that horribleexperience with the Jets lastyear. Some men are just moresuccessful coaching in thecollege ranks. His suspensionof three players just beforethe Orange Bowl tookcourage. He was blasted frommany sides but stuck to hisguns and won. Now thosethree have requested Holtztake them back on the team.They have paid for breakingthe rules and should comeback.

Schola Cantorumto premiere

The New Jersey Schola Cantorum will present the premiers.1

performance of the complete Sabbath Service at TempleShok"<m. Plainfield. on Friday. February 10, 8:15 pm. Thechoir, which is conducted by Louis Hooker, will be accom-panied by a brass ensemble.

Sabbath Service, composed by Dr. Louis Gordon, aprofessor of music at Fairleigh Dickinson University, had itsorigins in a service commissioned for the dedication of a Tern-plein 1971. Additional sections have been added to make theService complete, and it will be integrated into the regularFriday night service %vhen sung at Temple Sholom.

Dr. Gordon says that Sabbath Service was meant to be a"positive-sounding, dynamic, accessible work, modern inharmony and rhythm svithout being dissonant," Certainmodal scales suggest past Hebraic practice, while some rhyth-ms sound like modern Israeli folk music.

Mrs. Lucille Taub, Chairperson of the Adult EducationDepartment which is sponsoring the program, said that therewill be no fee for the evening. A snow date of Friday, February17 was set.

Once again, the citizens and taxpayers of Scotch Plains andFanwood are being asked to support on February 7th theproposed School District Budget and Its tax needs for the 1978-79 School Year.

The proposed increase in total tax dollars ($908,900) is mostmisleadingi and should be analyzed thoroughly before influen-cing any decision on the validity of the Budget or its tax needs.

More than half of the increase was not caused by requestsfor additional expenditures, not by Board action in finalizingthe proposed Budget. Rather, $487,000 of the increase is theresult of a decrease in State Aid for the current budget. Thisaid was "awarded" to the District last year and has now been"taken back"! Therefore, only $421,000 of the total $908,900is a new request by the Board to support the educationalprograms in your School District and the normal expected in-creases.

In essence, the basic Budget proposes a tax increase of only$421,000 to cover all contractual salary agreements, increasedcosts for supplies, materials, utilities, transportation and ser-vices; new State mandates; and increased needs for SpecialEducation.

And yet, the total Budget has only increased by $388,000, orby 2,7%!

In preparing the Budget over the past nine months, theBoard has had to wrestle with a potential of SI.8 million taxincrease — an impossible task! The loss of current State Aid($487,000) compounded the problem and threatened toeliminate or reduce on-going programs; suggested a largenumber of staff reductions; promised a dramatic increase inclass size; and generated turmoil within the school community.How %vere these concerns met?.. .What avenues were exploredto reduce this tax impact and to continue to provide qualityeducation within the means of the School District?

The pending decline in enrollment enabled the Board toreduce staff by (25) and the Budget by $350,000, Salary ac-counts were zero-based and an additional $216,000 was

Educationally Speakingby DR. REIGH W. CARPENTER

removed from budgetary needs. A surplus from 1976-77($202,000) and an anticipated surplus from the current budgetprovided $436,000 for reduction in new tax needs. Finally, theclosing of an elementary school made available another$209,900 for further potential tax relief.

When one realizes that the total Budget increase is only5388,422, or only an increase of 2.7%, it is difficult to com-prehend any massive criticism of the budget proposal. Indeed,the Board's final decision was a very thin line between main-taining an excellent on-going school system, or, perhaps,denying our young people adequate educational opportunities.

I believe that this Budget does consider the plight of ourlocal taxpayers and the continued value of their property andhomes. I believe that the proposed Budget is the "bottomline" for the needs of our children and the stability of our totalschool community.

There are forces which have always strongly advocated a" 0 " increase in all taxes and point to the school system to setsuch an example. Yet, these same forces fail to realize that noother governmental agency has been able to maintain a "notax" increase budget, or, if so, that vital and expected serviceshave been eliminated. What industry or business — whatMunicipal, County, State or Federal agency continues to exist•without providing for inflation, employee salaries, mandates,etc.?? Why should a school system be expected to be different?And what other governmental body proposes to maintain itsprograms with only a 2.7% increase in operating costs?.. .Notlocal or County budgets, which will undoubtedly raise their

FEBRUARY 2, 1978, THE TIMES.. ,21budgets a full 5% — their allowable "CAP Ceiling"!...!" ---Iyear your School District was the only governmental age: :ywhich lowered Its portion of your tax bill. Without the loss ofthe $487,000 from current State Aid, the tax impact for theschool's would have been minimal — just as the proposed$388,000 increase in a $14,000,000 budget is minimal. TheHomestead Tax Refund, which homeowners will receive inJuly, will also compensate for this increase and the essentialvalues received in return,

For almost three years I have worked and lived within anarena of drastic and sudden change; of conflictingphilosophies and of dramatic, hasty actions. I have watchedthe School System reduce its services, becloud its once fineimage as an education leader in the field, and generatedivisions within the school community that will require yearsto mend. I must support that in which I believe. As a concer-ned professional, I cannot assume any other position, and stillbe true to your children and young people — or be honest withthe parents and citizens of your school community. The accep-tance of this Budget is essential!

This Superintendent will be leaving your District at the endof this School Year — and I have been asked many times why1, as a "lame duck" Superintendent, continue to take such astrong, positive position on this proposed Budget — and theabsolute need for public approval. There are many reasons,but foremost is my deep understanding of the educationalneeds of your young people — and the "cutbacks" svhich haveoccurred over the past four years.

It would be most rewarding to leave your School Districtand my many friends and kno%v that sve are on the "roadback". The Budget is a sound one — no frills, no hiddenmonies — just the basic essentials for the youth of our schools.My support is honest and sincere. I have no reason to beotherwise, and you should expect no less from your ChiefSchool •Administrator,

Pro BudgetDear Editor:

Again the citizens of Scot-en Plains and Fanwood arefaced with the choice of ac-cepting or rejecting theschool budget. I feel that it istime more people came torealize the importance ofPassing the budget. Ourschool district is losing thegood reputation it once hadbecause of repeated negativesupport from the communitythrough rejected budgets.Each year more and moreitems have been trimmedfrom the budget andsomehow the schools''manage", so the voters feelthey haven't been hurt.

However, there are no more"frills" to be cut — next willbe teachers and essentialprograms.

It comes down to whetheror not we are willing to sup-port a school system that wecan be proud of or if we wantour schools to struggle alongand cut corners here andthere until our once proudsystem is no longerrecognizable. Where wouldwe be today if our forefathershad not been willing to dowithout a few things in orderto build our present schools.

Show your support for ourschools by voting Yes onFebruary 7.

Sincerely,Jo Ann DunnFanwood

BOARD CANDIDATES SPEAK OUTMeyer Favors Strong Board Policies Vote is Important, Shannl says

Kathy Meyer, Scotch Plains candidate lorthe Board of Education, prepared a finalstatement prior to the election which ssill beheld on February 7th from 2:00 to 9:00 p.m.

"As a candidate for the Board ofEducation, I'm often asked what things I'dlike to see done in our district. The nature ofpublic education dictates that %ve recognizeindividual differences in intelligence, poten-tial apptitude and interest. Many of ourstudents will have no formal educationbeyond high school. We therefore, mustprovide the most comprehensive program ofstudy possible to meet the educational needsof all our students. Individual candidates, ofcourse, cannot make absolute promises, butthey can enumerate priorities. There areseveral items that need immediate attention:sve must develop a district-wide discipline

policy that \s firm, fair and consistent for allstudents: sound budget-building must em-phasize early staff and community input" wemust rebuild staff and student morale, com-munity confidence and restore our schools'once-excellent reputation by keeping our-selves out of the headlines, solving omproblems reasonably and returning treducational leadership; we must providecoordination and continuous evaluation ofcurricula and methods to yield improvementsin the total district program; high schoolgraduation requirements should beupgraded; programs should be developeddistrict-wide for our academically giftedchildren.

In order to effect these goals I need thesupport of the community and would urgeeveryone to cast an informed vote onFebruary 7th.

Bips urges positive changeWith the school Board election just a few-

days away, the Committee to Elect GeorgeA. Bips would like to urge all voters to usetheir votes to make a positive change for thedistrict.

George A. Bips, candidate from ScotchPlains, cites his major concerns for thedistrict as:

• Return the Scotch Plaiiis-Fanwooddistrict to the top standing it held in [he1960's and very early 1970's.

• Immediate research to develop a 10 yearMaster Plan for ihe school district.

• Obtain and maintain a" full staff ofdedicated and qualified administrative per-sonnel in the central office to have soundbusiness operations.

• Return respect 10 the Board of Educationso that the Community, Students and Staffcan all work together with the Board for thebenefit of education in this district.

George is committed to provide the besteducation possible by carefully using thefunds allocated by the taxpayers, for eachand every student in this district.

With over 12,000 hours of "first Hand"education in the Scotch Plains-Fanwood

district, Bips knows the districts' good andbad points. "I am very aware of disciplineproblems which occur in our high school,

and it is a shame that a handful of studentshave limited the use of that super structure to[he hundreds of students who could makegreai educational progress with an "open"structure," stated Bips. "Because of the fewrule violators, however. 1 feel the school is inmuch better control and order in its present"closed" state, which allows students toleave the grounds only after their last class. Iwould strive to retain the present "closed"status that exists at the high school, as it isclearly more effective than the open campuswas when I was a senior in the school," Hipsconcluded, Bips attended SPFHS in bothclosed and open arrangements.

Bips feels that the Board of Educationshould be a Policy Making body, and act ac-cordingly. There is too much personal,emotional, and political decision making on[he Board, according to Bips. "The Hoardshould set policy, and it is the job of the ad-ministration to implement that policy,"commented Bips.

Arlene Shanni, candidate for the ScotchPlains-Fanwood Board of Education, wouldlike to tell you why it l s s o important for you,on Tuesday, February 7th, to go to the pollsand vote.

During every past campaign, as in this one,we hear Administration-bred candidates,earnestly and with all sincerity, promising theparents that they will w o r k for the childrenand the taxpayer. Y e t , as soon as they areelected, their promises evaporate into emptyrhetoric. For instance, whatever happened tothe remedial programs one of the last year'scampaigners promised you? He has never at-tempted to institute even one. Whatever hap-pened to the evaluation programs one presentBoard Majority member foresaw the terribleneed for during his campaign two years ago,and then voted against, at every given oppor-tunity? Why was it t h a t when an attempt wasbeing made to bring back five periods a dayof English, Math, History and Science to ourchildren at the High School, that it was thatgroup of education-minded board membersthat fought against it so vigorously? Duringhis campaign, another present Board Mem-ber said he was for spending, so long as themoney went to the kids. Yet right now,teachers are negotiating a 10% plus increasein salaries for next ye»r . Last year, he voted"YES" fora more t h a n substantial increase.Will he do it again th is year? Mrs. Meyerstells us we must make every penny count forthe kids because mort«y is tight. Yet, at thisvery point in time, the Board Membersbehind her campaign a r e "Adjusting-up" thesalaries of certain Administrators. Mr.Pastore, Mr. Bips and Mrs. Meyers wouldhave us go back to w h a t we had some yearsago. Is that why they are advocating puttingS40.000 -Just as a beginning- back into theBudget, for a Directors program? Threeyears ago, the Board of Education ter-minated this same program that had wound

Jung comments on his platformLou Jung, Fanwood candidate for the

Scotch Plains-Fanwood Board of Education,released the following in support of statedplatform positions-

One of the first tasks of the new Board willbe to restore the reputation of the ScotchPlains-Fanwood district as an attractive placeto svork. Our district operates with a 14million dollar budget, 6 thousand students, 4hundred teachers, a school plant worth in ex-cess of 20 million dollars, and it cannot fun-ction effectively and productively when keypositions in the central administration go un-filled for long periods of time. I perceive therole of the Board as the lay, part time policy-makers. 1 see the role of the Administrationas the full time professional managers whomust implement the policies and be accoun-table to the Board. Board members mustguard against undermining the authority ofthe Administrators by involving themsohesin the day-to-day operating details of theeducational process. Highly qualified, com-pel em Administrators are attracted to those

districts where the Board concentrates itspolicies and priorities on educational valuesand relates accountability and reward to higheducational standards.

The Board and the Administration mustwork in an atmosphere of mutual trust andrespect if ihey are to maintain our essentialprograms while coping with the mountingpressures of declining enrollment, decliningstate aid, and shrinking financial resources.Public education must provide for the needsof all of our children: the college bound, thenon-college bound, the handicapped, and thegifted. For teachers, who are the vital link inthe education chain, we must preserve andpromote a climate wherein we value, inspire,and acknowledge teaching excellence.

The task of educating our children towards,the goals of .self-fulfillment, productivecareers, and responsible citizenship is toodemanding to allow our energies and time tobe drained away in bickering and distrust.We must get down to the essential business ofeducation.

In i lie pasi, l h;i\e watched soniciiiummic-nial Kink's in pri\ate session and

then watched the public vote taken in a"civilized, proper" atmosphere. What hasmoved ihe arena from private to public view?The answer is ihe "Sunshine Law" whichopens the decision-making process to thepublic — as it should. When 9 people are ex-pending 14 million plus of public funds, andmaking decisions affecting the lives of almost6,000 students, the process should be open topublic scrutiny.

1 have often been asked why 1 bother torun for such a demanding post. That answercomes easily: I am deeply committed to boththe Board function and to the Community. 1understand the problems and the needs ofboth the Community and the staff and I havetried to make decisions thai blend the two.

I learned lung ago that some of us mustmarch to a different drummer. If re-elected, Iwill continue to question, to probe, to bodemanding in the public interest, and to tryto provide leadership! If this process issometimes abrasive on some, I apologize, butI believe that is what gets results for you, thepublic.

up costing the District S2S0.000 plus per year,because they could not find any evidence thateven one Official Program Evaluation existedin any of the records. And, because theDirectors Program itself had never even beenevaluated. Why haven't all these BoardMembers, who, during their campaign,backed Zero-Based Budgeting, made this anactuality during their term ot ottice? As tax-payers, candidates or even as Certified PublicAccountants, we still find it impossible toread and understand our budget. Whateverhappened to the strong. Athletic Programthey promised us? We don' t even have a full-time Athletic Director.

In the position of Board Majority, thesepeople have not fulfilled any of their cam-paign promises, other than that they would"Spend". And spend they did, to the tune ofa 6.3% increase which amounts to a Budgetof $14,800 plus.

Why shouldn't we then assume that thecandidates, Bips, Meyers, and Pastor, whomthe Board Majority is backing, will notquietly forget all their promises, if they areelected?

Arlene Shanni is concerned with the factthat Bips, Pastor and Meyers have found thisdistrict and its activities unquestionable. It isbecause the Union teachers and ad-ministrators who are backing them, requirebenign statements and non-objectivepositions in their campaign, in return fortheir vote support?

As a parent, and not for campaign pur-poses, Arlene Shannt has for many years,been working — not promising to work —for the fulfillment of Better EducationalNeeds and Evaluations for our kids. If elec-ted, she will continue to do this.

We therefore urge you to vote for ArleneShanni, for the Scotch Plains-FanwoodBoard of Education, on Tuesday, February7th.

Pastor goal: Reasonable budgetAndy Pastor, Scotch

Plains Candidate Tor theBoard of Education, releasedhis final statement t o TheTimes,

"Throughout the cam-paign," said Andy, * *l havestressed the necessity fortaking into consideration azero-based approach io thebudget, constantly increasingcosts and decliningenrollment when preparingthe school budget."

"Because 1 m u s t actresponsibly in my work, Ihave learned to be accoun-table for all expendiiu res andto get as much mileage from adollar as is possibl-e. Mycommitment is," statedPastor, " to meet t h a i same

challenge and responsibilitywith the school budget."Andy's goal is to make everyeducational dollar count forthe children of Scotch Plainsand Fanwood.

"My expertise in fiscalplanning does not in any waydiminish my interest in otherdecisions a" member of theBoard must make," Andysaid, "For instance, there arevacancies in the Business andPersonnel offices and we areseeking a new Superintendentof Schools. Textbooks areneeded, supplies andmat-erials must be accountedfor and band uniforms(which are seven years old)

will have to be replaced* intwo years. Some of ourathletic equipment needs tobe updated and buildingmaintenance which has beenneglected in the past threeyears must be given a highpriority,**

"Every decision has an ef-fect on each of us," said An-dy. "It is important thatBoard Members be electedwho will seek an intelligentand balanced approach to thedecision-making process."

Andy Pastor urges allregistered voters to supporthim in his goal of fiscal andeducational responsibility byvoting on February 7th.

DIRECTORDIVISION OF CONSUMIR

Of all decisions made by the average consumer, probablythe most important is picking a moving company. At no othertime do you p u t all of your possessions in someone else's han-ds.

Public movers that operate within the state lines of New jer-sey are regulated by the State Board of Public Utilities,Interstate movers are regulated by the Interstate CommerceCommission.

So the first thing you should look for is a license. Realizethat having a licensed mover is more than just following theletter of the law — it is your guarantee that the mover isproperly insured and that ho is charging only the approvedtariff rate.

Anytime y o u deal with an unlicensed mover, you are en-tirely on your own. Should any problems arise once you havechosen a licensed mover, you should be aware of what he canand cannot d o for you.

He cannot tell you exactly what the move will cost until allyour goods a r e packed, loaded and weighed (if you are payingon a weight-mileage basis) or until moving time is completed(if you are paying by the hour).

Besides the basic costs such as the hourly rate or the rateper pound, tariffs filed with the Board also provide for "ac-cessorial charges"; picking up goods at more than onelocation; any packing, unpacking or marking done by themover; furnishing containers; or carrying items like pianos upand down stairs.

Until moving day, the mover can only estimate the ap-proximate c o s t of your move. To get the best estimate, showthe mover everything you will be moving.

But be aware that choosing the mover with the lowestestimate may not ultimately give you the lowest total cost.

In fact, under BPU regulations, the total moving cost can beas much as 2 5 per cent higher than the estimate. However, anyhigher than tha t , the mover must file a detailed explanationwith the Board.

You may d o your own packing, but the public mover is notresponsible f o r damage resulting from any faulty packing.

Though movers are willing to unpack containers they pack,they svill not unpack any you have packed.

Major appliances such as stoves, refrigerators and washingmachines mus t be disconnected and usually they requirespecial servicing to protect their mechanisms duringmovement. Th i s is your responsibility, not the mover's.

You are also responsible for taking down all blinds,draperies, window cornices, mirrors or any other items at-tached to walls, and to take up carpets which are tacked down.If the mover has to perform any of these services, he willcharge you extra — by the hour.

And remember, that under no circumstances should youpack jewelry, money, or valuable documents with yourbelongings, Matches, inflammable or other dangerous articles,should also b e excluded.

You may request exclusive use of the moving vehicle if youdo not wish someone else's goods to be transported with yourbelongings, Jus t be willing to pay an extra charge.

Before t h e truck leaves for your new home, get a bill oflading (a receipt listing your goods) signed by both you and themover. M a k e sure it also lists the following: address andtelephone number where you can be reached with anymessages regarding the shipment; the location from and towhich your goods are moving; date of loading; preferred dateof delivery- storage instructions if any; and the declaredvaluation o f the goods,

Regarding the value of your property: public movers are notrequired to carry insurance that will cover the full value ofyour property. The only amount they are liable for is 30 centsper pound.

To be co-vered for up to 30 to 70 cents per pound, you willhave to p a y an additional charge of 10 per cent. Make that20% of the base rate if you want your things covered in theamount of 7 5 cents to $1.50 per pound.

To cover everything for the full amount, you must declare alump sum value for the entire shipment and pay an additionalcharge, depending on the full value. To insure a special item —a work of a n or an antique, you can cover it for a dollar perS100 value.

If you wish to pay for your own insurance, compare the rateto that available through the public mover.

Check al l of your goods when they are delivered, It you needto file a claim, the earlier the better, but you have up to sixmonths a f te r the move.

if the mover does not accept liability for the claim, you cancontact t h e Board of Public Utilities, 101 Commerce St.,Newark, fOr the name of the insurance company covering thatparticularmover.
