BEST WISHES- l t ' s year­book signing time a g a i n . And with the month of June e a c h y e a r c o m e s t h e flock of high s c h o o l stu­dents clutch­i n g t h e i r friends close in alphabeti­c a l o r d e r w i t h i n the covers of the annual y e a r ­book.

The last few days of school are alive with pencil sharpening and pen filling. Everyone, from the lowliest underclassman to the football hero to the class brain, has the oppor­tunity to sign his John Hancock.

And what do they write? Immortal words, my friends, immortal words. An ex-

. ample: "Roses are red, vio­lets are blue . . . Oh, heck!" (A stronger synonym of the word was used.)

* # . * GOOD LUCK —Glancing

through yearbooks of days gone by, and a few recent ones, I came upon several words of wisdom scratched, scribbled and scrawled on the pages.

From one student, appar­ently short of change, came this bit of flattery—"Have fun at college. I know you'll be—a-TSttcee-sSr—RSr^Iay-^-have 20 QCnts?"

Another friend h a v i n g been unjustly accused, he says, by the yearbook owner of unethical tactics wrote:

"It's been fun being in your algebra class. But, I never cheated!"

The same likeable fella must have written:

"I didn't mind those re­marks. I know you meant, it in fun."

Can he be certain of that? * • *

SWELL GUY—Some com­ments hurriedly written in a yearbook aren't always just something to write. One sinister hand seemed "to predict the future when it wrote:

"Best of luck always . . . you'll need it where you're going."

And to the yearbook own­er who doesn't seem to win friends or influence people goes this greeting:

"To a swell guy who al­ways bothers me in the hall, then gets in trouble with his girl friend."

From the pages of a class officer's yearbook came the following:

"You were a great vice president, but a b e t t e r friend."

Officer-holders, watch out! , A friend with a* St. Ber­nard quality about h i m [wrote: ' ' I 'm a l w a y s available .when you need help. Never •hesitate to call."

* * • CUTE KID—To a "really

sharp girl" these words were dedicated: "I wouldn't be the same if I'd never met you."

And from the same "dif­ferent" person might have come:

"To a real cute kid, I don't reaJly think you're crazy."

The "cute kid" also was the recipient of these best wishes from a writer who suddenly was at a loss for words and didn't finish what

.he had started. "Best of everything to a real cute kid who deserves . . ." That's all there was.

A big writer with a limit­ed amount of space and sen­timent wrote:

"To a real sharp kid whose got it made and I am running out of room."

Another breathless writer with not much to say signed h i sname to "I have enjoyed knowing you so m u c h — I don't know what to say."

THE MOST — A compli­ment (?) was paid to a friend* (?) when this was

' written: "To the most insulting,

. most unreserved, most com­pletely uninhibited friend I've ever had . . . " At this writing, the "friends" still haven't made up.

And from a yearbook that has seen better days came this short but provocative note:

\ i "Best w i s h e s for MY ' future."

Reading between the lines ; one would learn that the • boy who signed his name to . those few wor.'s is now re­

ceiving an allowance from I Jhc yearbook owner. They're ; married.

Way down at the bottom ! of a page was this refresh-f Ing bit of honesty. "Best of ' )u6k (not very original)."

Cayuga Dr. Paving Job To Start

The $'".000 resurfacing of Cayuga f£hive bet|«£en 91stj Street and Tuscarort. Road! will start Monday, Frank M.| Massaro, superintendent of! street construction and main-l tenance, said today., \

Board Debates Hiring Expert To Evaluate County Pay Roll

By BOB KOSTOFF Gazette Lockport BVwau

LOCKPORT — The possibility of hiring outside help to determine whether Niagara County departments are overstaffed drew both support and criticism at the Board of Supervisors meeting Friday.

The proposal, submitted by Niag­ara Falls Supervisor Louis Caggiano, was referred to the supervisors Sal­aries and Finance committees for study.

Supervisor Caggiano, a Democrat,-

said he felt members of committees could not adequately determine em­ployment needs of departments and had to rely upon requests of depar t ment heads. He said an outside expert could survey county offices and deter­mine whether or not they were over­staffed.

Democratic Floor Leader Norton Aurigema, North Tonawanda, said the committees do adequate jobs and an outside expert is not needed. He said:

"If this is the case, we should hire professional people for every com­mittee."

Mr. Aurigema said a salary survey was made two years ago and employes' salares have been kept up to date. Lockport Supervisors C. C l a r e n c e Groff and Roy S. Gugliuzza also said they t h o u g h t outside professionals were not needed.

Niagara Falls Supervisors Joseph Polka and Joseph DiSalvo said the re-

quest was to seek^rofessional help to determine whether offices wereNover-staffed and not to make any deter­mination about salaries.

Board Chairman J. Paul Hewitt then stopped discussion on the sub- • jeet because he said the matter would be brought up again when the Finance and Salaries committees make their , recommendation.

The board also heard a report from Walter Schulmeister, director of the Industrial Development and Planning Commission, on the work of his de­partment. He. said that, since Jan. 1, 1961, there have been expansions by 17 firms in the county plus establish­ment of two major firms and. five smaller firms.

Mr. Schulmeister said his office is encouraging towns to develop local planning programs to implement the Erie-Niagara regional plan. He also noted the county has an advertising program in various publications em­phasizing assets and resources of the county for location of industry. .

He said the goal of his department is to promote 10 major expansions by industry here, bring in two new major firms to employ 500 persons each and 10 new smaller firms to employ at least 50 persons each.

In other business, the board: 1. Held one roll call for county

attorney which produced 19 votes for Republican James P. Degnan and 18 votes for Democrat Peter Paonessa. Twentv-two votes are needed to elect.

Mr. Degn^Trs^ serving i<i the position" on a holdover basis. ^

2. Heard Chairman Hewitt an­nounce appointment of Leo Fermoile, Niagara Falls, and John Garaczkow-ski, North Tonawanda, both Demo­crats, to the board's Water Committee.

3. Referred to the treasurer's com--mittee a request of Supervisor Caggi-ano to study the possibility of allow­ing county taxes to be paid at banks as a convenience to taxpayers. He said the Niagara Falls School Board allows school taxes to be paid this way.

.4. Referred to the Community Col­lege C o m m i t t e e a communication from the Youngstown Village Board, urging creation of a community col­lege in Niagara County.

5. Approved a request of the Ol-cott Businessmen's Association to hold a fireworks display at the old hotel pier at Krull Park the evening of July 4.

6. Awarded low bids of $10,425 to Armco Drainage and Metal Products Inc. for 5.000 square feet of piling, S6.900 to Stimm Associates for install­ing the piling and $3,670 to Ernst Steel Corp. for sheet piling and accessories. The contracts are for constructing the marina at the West Canal Park site in Pendleton.

7. Heard County Fire Coordinator Ste-phen Cannaby name three .deputy fire coordinators, Clinton Hermanson, of Sanborn. Robert Smith of Wright's Corners and Kimball Johnson of Lockport.

City Manager Edward J. Connell has recommend­ed that the city-run Veterans Service Agency be dis­continued next year, the director of the agency said Friday.

Philip A. Case, director of the agency, told the Gazette that he has been informed the manager will recommend elimination of the agency in the 1963.

v

budget. The new budget is not yet available. It has been

distributed to members of the City Council but will not be made public until Sunday. Mr. Connell could not be reached for comment.

City Hall sources said it was expected that the new budget, including the manager's recommended tax rate for 1963, would be available for full coverage in the Sunday Gazette.

Mr. Case conceded that if his office is closed the state will "probably establish another veterans' office somewhere in the city or area."

The state already furnishes one counselor and a stenographer to serve with Mr. Case in the present agency.

Mr. Case, angry at the deletion of the agency from the new budget, said:

"It should be up to the veterans themselves to determine whether they want this service. I don't want to see the agency terminated."

He declared that his office has given "splendid service" to veterans and predicted local veterans would protest its closing. The agency has been in existence for 32 years, and was given its present form in 1944, shortly before the end of World War II.

Mr. Case is due to retire next April 30. Mr. Case predicted that the saving achieved by

the deletion of his agency will be less than $4,000, though the.agency has a current budget of $12,894.

He said the state pays $5,000 of the cost of operat­ing the agency, which would bring the actual cost to the city down to $7,894. In addition, Mr. Case said, both he and Elaine Komar, senior stenographer in the unit, are veterans and the city will be required by law to assign them to equivalent positions. T h e i r salaries are $7,154 and $4,570, for a total of $11,724.

(If the two are reassigned to other positions in the city, presumably less senior civil service employes will have to be laid off to make room for them.)

(If this were done, the city would save the equiva­lent of their total salaries, less the $5,000 from the state.)

The agency also has $1,100 allotted fo it for various contractual services and purchases of supplies and equipment.

Father Lardie said the out-iwaisl when the cruiser sank.

The State Power Authority and two of its contractors have been sum­moned to appear in Supreme Court here by July 12 to answer a complaint by thc city that construction of the Niagara power project conduits caus­ed $300,000 damage to the 60 inch Hyde Park sewer.

The summonses were served Fri­day by thc city law department on William H. Latham, SPA resident en­gineer; Richard Burnett, Uhl, Hall and Rich project manager; and Frank Foster, Merritt - Chapman & Scott project engineer.

The complaint accompanying the summonses alleges that thc sewer was damaged by "movements or deflec­tions" of subsurface r o c k resulting from excavations for thc Niagara power project conduits.

It also alleges that Mcrritt-Chap-man used "unnecessary and unreason­able quantities of explosives" in blast­ing for the conduit excavation*.

Uhl. Hall and Rich designed the project, including the conduits, for the SPA. Mcrritt-Chapman was p r i m e contractor on conduit construction from the river to a point 1.250 feet north of Pine Avenue.

The complaint, signed by Corpora­tion Counsel Clarence W, Grccnwald, describes the rock strata t h r o u g h which thc conduit excavations were made. It charges that the rock in this area "has long been known to be in horizontal stress" and when excava­tions of the size of thc open cuts for the conduits are made, the rocks arc made to move. It concludes that the movements caused "a shear stress" between overburden and bedrock,

"putting abnormal stresses on the Hyde Park sewer."

The complaint also char-T^ that the "continual, practically daily blast­ing" loosened rock which "was under horizontal stress . . . and caused move­ments and deflections of rock in the area immediately surro'unding the plaintiff's sewer line."

The SPA. Uhl. Hall and Rich, and Mcrritt-Chapman are all charged with negligence, thc former two in the de­sign of the project, and Mcrritt-Chap­man in the construction.

Thc complaint holds that "damages lo thc plaintiff's property were reason­ably to be anticipated and likely to occur" as a result of the work. , It concludes that damage to thc sewer has been caused and that fu­ture damage will also result from thc conduit' construction.
