HFA announcedon Friday that it was sending the following letter to all Co-op City Cooperators: March 21, 1980 To AU Residents Of Co-op City: I was very sorry to see the Steering Committee HI advertisement which said: "Anyone who says the State would impose a 56 percent increase at this time is, at best, bluffing; at worst using a scare tactic ! " That is not true.

I guarantee you that if the proposed agreement is rejected I will have to demand that the Division of Housing and Community Renewal must impose such an increase.

Furthermore, if the proposed settlement is rejected there will be no guarantee of sufficient construction repair funds.

There is nothing further to negotiate.

The negotiated settlement is the best deal for Co-op City that we could possibly recommend to the Legislature, whose approval will be necessary.

I don't like to pay rent increases and I wouldlike to have a car that doesn't burn gas either.

However, living here in Co-op City where it is beautiful, spacious and roomy, has been a joy.

Many of us will have to struggle a little to continue this way of life, ü11t better to tighten our belts than to be buried by a State decision and State imposed increases for Co-opCity.

It seems that every Spring the worms come up for air and try again. Are these the same people who are holding $.50,000 of our money? Why?They are the same losers who allowed Co-opCity to go million of dollars in the red with their poor management dur-

Surely you can't believe that these same people now have the answers. I didn't hear any solutions for Co-op City from them.

Did you?

I know that the silent majority once against will understand that we on the NegotiatingTeam tried hard and honestly to get the best deal possible. 8,000 families came out to vote in the last election because you were tired of dirty politics and wanted better conditions in Co-op City and this has happened.

It seems that this has been turned into a last ditch fight by Steering CommitteeHI with their false acts and loud hysterical voices. If you vote NO, the State wins and we lose. If youvote YES for the referendum, we will keep Co-opCity alive.

The State refuses to negotiate any further. Support your Negotiating Team and your Board of Directors as you have these past two years. Good luck to all of us.

By Peter Gmd and Madelon Rosen Over one thousand residents turned out to the three community forums held last week to hear comments on the Riverbay Negotiating Team's proposed rent settlement package. Cooperators will vote on the a~eement in a non-binding referendum next Wednesday, March 26.

Attending the sessions, held on separate days at the Dreiser, Bartow and Eínsteín community centers, were members of the Negotiating Team: Riverbay President Charles Parness, Attorney Matthew Lifflander, and Board members Stuart Berman, Sol Friedman and Terri Gabrielli.

Although most gallery speakers - many of them members of community rent stabilization committees opposed the proposed settlement, President . Parness appealed to cooperators in his opening remarks to consider the alternatives to · the agreement. ''The hardest concept for one to consider is voting one's self a rent increase," Parness said.

"Every dub and organization has to talk of raising dues to remain viable. and we're no different. It's· difficult because we are tenants and landlords at the same time. But our only alternative is to have economic rent imposed on us over the next year.

With this settlement, we're talking about a 61,4 year period of stability in addition to a State promise to pay for all of our construction defects. '' He said he estimated that the State would order a 55 'percent

ate confirms rent hike threat In letters written and made public this week by HF A Executive Director Robert Steves and DHCR Acting Commissioner Jo" seph Goldman the State made it clear that they saw no possibility for further negotiations on the Co-op City Settlement.

Steves told Goldman in his letter that he wanted the DHCR to be prepared to go ahead as quickly as possible with a carrying charge increase if the RiverbayBoard should fail to ratify the Agrêément. He said that a more favorable settlement for Co-op City . would not be accepted by the Legíslature and that there was no time left for further negotiations if the package was to be ratified by the Legíslatúre in this session.

Goldman wrote Steves that he · was going ahead with the March 'l1 rent hearing and would be prepared to move promptly to institute an increase far in excess of what the Settlement offered.

Under Mitchell-Lama (M-L) law' the DHCR has the power, authority and obligation to impose any rent increase necessary.for a development to meet its operating expenses. For Co-op Qty, such an increase could raise the charges to as much as $80;()5

Dear Jay: • With respect to the scheduling of the public meeting on the carrying charge increase for Riverbay Corporation currently scheduled for March 27, 1980, my position is that you should be prepared to go forward as quickly as possible if the Riverbay Board fails to ratify the agreement.

As you know, the proposed agreement represents the best. proposal. ·. the Ag~ncy is prepared fo offer. It is my strong feeling that nofürther negotiation is feasible, since I am convinced that provisíons less favorable to the Agency would not be ratíñed by the Legislature.

Further, we must keep in mind that the amount of time available for an agreement to be ratified by the Legislature during the current session is severely limited. The needs of the Agency and of Co-op City dictate that the time for negotiation is over. Therefore, I urge you to move expeditiously if the proposed agreement is not ratíñed, Very truly yours, Robert J.

Big difference

Allen Thurgood, Consumer Affairs Marcia Bookman, Happenings

The fallowing is an open letter to Riverbay Board member Joel Dannenberg: Dear Joel, How awful of you to compare your problems of the rent increase to Hitler's quote "Final Solution". Your analogy to say the least was in extremely bad taste and reveals the truth about your questionable activities as a Board member.

When the package was presented to the Board, you withheld your vote. You said you had to "consult". With whom? (You had a week's advance notice of what was coming, so why did you have to consult before casting your opposition the next day).

Shouldn't a member of the Board of. Directors be able to cast his decision for the people of Co-op City without consultation.

Your View from the Board, with the ugly Final Solution reference, is full of misleading information. Yes - you will be paying $82 a room, four and 1/3 years from now. B14t, as you wen know, if you read Commissioner Goldman's letter to all cooperators notifying them of the hearing on rent increases, the Commissioner would have us pay that amount now if we don't have a settlement.

That's a pretty big difference.

Doris Loeb

Other ideas To the Editor, I urge all Co-op City residents to reject the terms of Summary of Settlement For Rent Increases as published in the March 8, 1980 edition.

B - Since construction defects were the fault of the state for not having proper planning and inspection, construction defect funding is not a concession from the state.

C - H a cooperator moves, according to existing lease requirements, part or the entire equity may be lost waiting for rental of apartment. AH cooperators should benefit from cost of existing equity and increase in value when moving, especially for the original Co-op residents.

A final approved plan for providing subsidies for those least able to afford rent increases should be submitted before approving any rent package increase.

Federal Reserve &ard That weak and achy feeling -· when you can barely drag your~ self around -· that's often how Ö the flu starts. This time of year Q..i there's a lot of it going around. is:i Symptoms generally include fever, cough, sore throat, a "runny" nose, and general muscle aches.

Although most patients recover completely from flu within a week, many continue to feel unusually tired for some time. Flu is nothing to be taken casually for the aged or chronically ill, flu is a life threatening illness. When flu is coupled with pneumonia, it's the fifth leading cause of death in the United States.

Influenza is caused by a virus, which, though identified by scientists as long ago as the 1930's, is still the subject of intensive research. Vaccines for flu are, of course, only preventive. Once you've got the disease, there's nothing a vaccine can do to help you. What research scientists have found is that two types of influenza viruses cause most flu epidemics.

Their make-up changes slightly each year.

These annual changes are known as "drifts". A major shift occurs about every ten years. These major changes of "new" strains can result in epidemics.

Outbreaks of flu usually occur 2!-)r,·;)tly. The rlise:ise spreads

BuyingUsed Cars: "No Promises" Means "Beware" According to Alfred Kramer, head of the Federal Trade Commission (ITC¡ Bureau of Consumer Protection, cars sold under the retail used ears regulation need not be inspected nor reveal the unrepaired defects. The car would then be labeled "No Promises".

Some ITC members disagree, because their feelings tell them that car dealers are more apt to put cars with defects under the "No Promises" heading. Cars with "No Promises" written on them should make the consumer be more aware of what he may be buying.

down with the flu? The usual advice from a physician is to g;-; to bed, drink plenty of fluids, and take aspirin to relieve some of the aches and pains of the flu.

If complications occur, such as a bacterial infection in the lower respiratory tract, usually antibiotics are used.

The basic view of the Chamber, says the report, is hardline conservative, and it almost always reflects big business attitudes, although it also is supposed to represent small business, which occasionally has different views.

It also uses deceptive and false information at times, adds the report, with rarely an attempt to correct the record when errors are pointed out.

Medical doctors may now advertise according to the .rule of the Federal Trade Commission (ITC¡. Previously, the American Medical Association (AMA¡ prohibited advertising of any kind.

Doctor's Fees and other information which would aid in the selection of a physician was not easily accessible to the consumer up until now.

Consumer groups were in favor of the decision - doctors will have to face competition just like everyone else.

The AMA stated that they had issued rules in 1977 which would allow a limited amount of advertising by coctors but the FTC has different opinions in this area. The commission stated that the· AMA was interfering with trade by restricting the advertising of professional servie-es. The rule went into effect on October 24.

* * * * * * FTC Accepts Label Rules The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has agreed to fabric ea re labels that emphasize warnings. The messages on the labels are less direct and explicit than the FTC had originally wanted.

The labels will be worded so that if a fabric should not be washed. the label will say so. Washing and ironing temperatures that would be avoided will be stated. Solvents that could cause damage in dr y cleaning will be spelled out.

Also. the fabric care labelling requirement will extend to cover suede and leather clothes,' carpets. upholstered furniture and slipcovers, dr apes and ourtains, as well as linen. ,¡:*****

House Passes Tire Safety Notice Requirement The House of Representatives has passed an additional amendment to the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Provisions of this new amendment enable the Secretary of Transportation to require tire manufacturers, in certain specific circumstances, to provide publie notices of defects in their produets.

The notice, along with mail notification to customers, is in the interest of overall motor vehicle safety. · The Secretary would confer with the manufacturer, be aware of a cost/benefit analysis, and keep in mind the magnitude of the risk involved befor e issuing the public notice.

* Fish is high in protein, low incalories and some varieities cost less per pound than many cuts of meat Frozen fish and shellfish may be even less expensive than fresh if the fresh varieties are low in supply. * Remember that the kind of meat and style of packing affect hte price of canned tuna. "Light meat" tuna costs less than "white meat" tuna. Most -expensive are packs of fancy or solid tuna: chunk, flaked or grated tuna costs less. * Wedges of cheese are generally less expensive than cheese purchased sliced, cubed or grated. Mild cheese may cost less than aged or sharp natural cheese.

Pasteurized process cheese often costs less than natural cheese but it contains less cheese. And process cheese is a better buy in food value than

* V/hen buying meats, remember that price per pound is not a good guide for judging a bargain. The amount of bone, fat and gristle on a cut determines its costs per cooked serving.

Compare costs of different cuts, grades and kinds of meats in the amounts you need to serve your family. * Stretch meat, fish or poultry by combining them in casseroles, stews, or soups with mildflavored, nutritious foods such as dried beans or peas, macaroni products, rice or potatoes.

Vandalism is once again costing Co-op City thousands of dollars. The latest target of local vandals is the standpipes located in building stairwells.

The standpipes are generally used by the fire department. In case of fire, the pipes pump water up to high floors enabling the fire department to fight highrise fires.

According to Ríverbay Treasurer Sol Friedman, the latest damage to a building standpipe amounted to approximately $1,000 in damages. In addition to the expense to the cooperative, Friedman points out that the cooperators of that particular building have their lives placed in jeopardy, since a vandalized standpipe means that in the event of a fire, the fire department would have lost a valuable means of controlling the blaze.

In the last three years, Friedman notes, the damage to standpipes has cost Ríverbay over $10,000. "People should understand that in the long run, the cooperators are the ones paying for this kind of damage; it's coming out of their pockets," Friedman says.

The Riverbay Treasurer urges cooperators to periodically check the standpipes and report any vandalized pipes to maintenance.

If anyone witnesses an act of vandalism occurring, they are -urged ~o contact Co-op City Security immediately.

al bus~ten:if§rthè>ooróugh·goes intoeffect. The New York Transit Authority (TA) announced this weekthat the new bus.routes will not start until January, 1981. The delay is the result of a number of problems that have arisen betweenthe Transit Workers Union (TWU) and the TA. Whileunion officials charge the TA with causing the delay, TA officials allege that union gríevanees will take awhile to correct.

1WU Vice President Frank McCannpoints out that the union first filed a protest concerning the routes last November, however the TA did nothing about the complaint at that time.

McCann also complains that the union saw the new routes much later than they · were supposed to. However, TA officials claim the union had ample time l'o discuss their complaints at the various public hearings that were held.

for the delay. The "picks", allQw bus drivers . to pick their vacation dates and favored routes, is a costly process.

According to Stone, Ïf the bus rou,tes program were implemented sooner, a special "pick" would have been required and wouldhave cost the TA additional money.

So once again, Bronx residents will have to wait to get relief from an antiquated bus route system.

Defending the delay, TA official spokesperson Mr. Stone claims that the Bronx bus routes proposal "is so massive, the TA wants to make sure that it is implemented right." While TA Executive Director Stephen Kaufman is disappointed about the delay in implementation, "he realizes the realities that dictate the delay."

According to Stone, the delay will provide the TA with the · necessary time to develop a strong media program to acquaint Bronxítes with the new bus routes. There will be bilingual signs developed, Stone adds.

TrumanP..A.. letter campaign to aid disabled

By Amta Singlet.on

The ups and downs of student life are difficult enough when you're a strong-bodied student.

But, what do you do if you're physically handicapped?

You ride elevators. Right?

Wrong! If you're in a N.Y. < ity school and the Board of Edi cation rescinds the budget whíeh $includes salaries for elevator operators, you're left on the ground floor.

We cannot and will not tolerate our handicapped being treated as second rate students.

We want our elevator operators back now! All parents of handicapped students write to: Dr. Jerry Gross, Executive Director, Division of Special Education, Board of Education, 110 Livingston Street, Brooklyn, N.Y.

What's up more than anything else?

Government services. S.ince 1949, New ~ York City's budget has climbed 969%.

The State's budget, over the same 31 \ years, is up 1,492%.

The price of a pound of coffee, meanwhile, has risen 441%; a subway ride, 400%;a loaf of bread, 377%.

At the same time, the average monthly electric bill of a typical Con Edison customer using 250

As government payrolls grew larger, we reduced our work force b. y 23% -from 30,000 to 23,000-and increased the amount of electrici.ty we delivered by 227%.

l Open letter to the Council ~ ~

By Sol Friedman Your "View From the Council" lÑ in last week's Co-op Times conN taíned three major errors of fact.

In your distortion of the truth ' ¡::¡:: about opposition to the Board of ~ Directors .Settlement Proposal, ~ you place yourself on very weak~ 00 ground. ~ First, you stated that Co-op ~ "receives more promises .to, ' •§,ol City get legislation topay for con-' ;;,.. structíon defects." This is abso§,ol lutely wrong.

The agreement Ô provides time for the Legislature §;l to adopt the necessary legislation ö during the current session and if O they fail to do so, the deal is off.

Wen the legislation is adopted then the State is required by law to pay for ami of the eenstrueñen defect repairs.

You also state that Co-op City "gives up all rights to sue the State of New York for the $129 míllíon in extra mortgage." This is not true.How can this be, when

you, the two top people of the Co-op Council, have your organízation involved in exactly such a lawsuit since 1973? Have you forgotten your own Nizer Case which is being pressed against the state for just htís very purpose? Yet you claim we will not be able to sue.

It is easy to go on demanding "affordable rents", but the undeniable fact is that the law allows the State Housing Commissioner to impose total economic rent now and not spread out over six years. He has said he will do .this if the referendum on the rent is turned down. This is especially true since everyone else in the State is paying higher rents and higher electric and fuel costs.

There is no reason to place any hope that either the Housing Commissioner or the Legislature will continue to subsidize anything less than what has been proposed to us here.

't get cauaht without vour clothes

By Eva Pellman Most of us are familiar with the children's story about the king's clothes. Perhaps, you at one tme told it to your hcíldren, as I did mine ', H's a story abouttsome sharpies who pretend to be master tailors. These tailors sold their services to a king who needed a new suit. These con men kept telling the king how fine the material was. Yet no one could see the doth. They kept talking and talking about how beautiful the suit was developing. Their hands made the motions of sewing with invisible thread and needle. They snipped with an ínvísíble scissors and marked with chalk that nobody could see on doth that wasn't there.

T~ese con ~rtist tailo~ kept on talking, talking to the king, "Oh how fine, how masterful, the stítchíng is." The king kept on agreemg.

One day the phony tailors said they were done, and collected a handsome price for their invisible work. Th~ ~ext day t~e ~ing had all the c1t~zens of his kingdom assembl_e m the ~own squar_e to show off his beautiful new smt of clothes. The trumpets blew and the king appeared in his bathrob~. T~e prime minis!er spoke and said and now our king wiU remove his bathrobe and show all the members of our

kingdom his most beautiful suit.

The king removed his bathrobe, and low and behold he stood naked before the members of his kingdom.

We, the people of Co-op City, are in a somewhat similar positíon to the king. Our Board of Director negotiators have come back with a 20 percent increase over 27 months. This is down from 69 percent for one year.

Yet, like those sharpy tailors in the story about the king, some individuals and groups say there is a better alternative. But like the story, nobody can see what the details are.

The state is offering us in this agreement two separate 16 percent increases covering two years each. These. same sharpy community leaders say there is a better alternative. When asked what this mysterious alternative is these con artist community leaders, like the con artist tailors, present nothing for us to consider.

The agreement offers us State paid construction defects. If we vote no, then we will be responsible for paying construction defects. I'd like to know if this is one of the better alternatives that these so-called community leaders expect you and me to accept?

It is a broad based coalition, which is currently made up of the

Co-op City Council, the Building Chairpersons' Organization, the Coalition of Community Organizations consisting of the Co-op City Black Caucus, Steering Committee III, the Cooperators for Fair Rent, and the Trade Union Forum, whose representatives come from unions such as District 65, and District Council 37. These groups have united against the rent settlement agreement.

These organizations came from the broad spectrum of people living in Co-op City. Some of these groups openly oppose each other.

It is amazing how, in Co-op City, people with different views can work together when their cause is right and just.

When voting next Wednesday the cooperators should conside; the following:

1- Can I afford an immediate 20 percent increase?

2 - wm I be able to afford to pay 61 percent more than I do now in four years?

3 - Will I be able to afford to pay more than twice as much as I do now in six years?

4 - Will someone buy my apartment at $1,000 per room and a 10 percent rent surcharge so that I won't lose my equity if I am forced to move?

5 - Will I get subsidies if I cannot afford the rent considertng the State's record of ~ot keeping its promises and the fact that less federal aid to the city will mean cuts in the Section 8 Rent Subsidy Program?

By Terri Gabriem Opponents of 'the settlement with the State have repeatedly said that if this settlement is turned down by the cooperators, we can always renegotiate a new agreement. That is simply not true. State Housing Commissioner Jay Goldman and Housing Finance Agency Chairman Robert Steves have both declared that if cooperators were to turn down this settlement they would ha ve no choice but to impose an immediate 56 percent · increase which amounts to an $80 per room carrying charge per month.

Both Goldman and Steves have said that they would have no choice since they had to report to· the trustee holding the deed.

The proposed settlement is the

.

best deal that Co-op City could have gotten considering that the 12 percent bill did not pass the State Senate. Certain individuals and groups in Co-op City have been irresponsibly suggesting that a so-called better deal could have been negotiated. The fact is that most of these people are either people who have run for the Board previously and been defeatf so they will attack anything that our Board proposes, or they come from disgruntled groups in the commvnity, like Steering Committee HI, whose terrible record in running this community and whose immoral keeping of our rent strike contributions is well documented.

Don't be misled by these groups.

This is the best agreement for

Co-op City available to us.

In fact, there are many legislators in Albany who feel that Co-op City is getting too much from this agreement. There are people who wonder how the Riverbay Board could have negotiated such a favorable agreement. The eJements in Co-op City who are attempting to mislead the people by saying that a better agreement could have been negotiated apparently do not understand reality and the hostile climate that exists towards Mitchell-Lamas, including Co-op City, in Albany.

A "YES" vote on the referendum is our only hope for. stabfü ty.

I urge an Co-op City residents to vote "YES" on Wednesday, Mai:ch 26 .

By Esther L. Smith There have been· few, if any, attempts made at analyzing, point by point, the different characteristics of the recent settlement agreement. The Co-op City Black Caucus has willinrlY studied the overall settlement package and has attempted to offer its analysis to the entire community.

It is unfortunate that, at a time when many board members have utilized unlimited space in our community newspaper (advocating their rehearsed opinion), the Black Caucus análysís has not been approved. for publication in the Co-op Times. It is fruitless to discuss the reason for this refusal here since most Black Caucus members document their censorship problem in its historical perspective. The Black Caucus feels, however, that their analysis should be heard by the community and have decided that if the Co-op City Times will not open its pages to the Caucus, then Black Caucus will open its doors to the community.

On Monday, March 24, the Co-op City Black Caucus will sponsor a pre-referendum seminar in Dreiser Room 15 at 8 p.m.

You 've been force-fed one set of opinions. You owe it to yourself to hear the other side.

I've Looked At Life From Both Sides: State to lend Co-op City between $35 million and $40 million to help cover expenses between November, 1979, and· July, 1986.

Money to be repaid between August 1, 1986, and July 31, 1996.

Co-op City to repay over $30 million in debts owed to the State prior to 1979, beginning in the Year, 2006.

ALTERNATIVE: St.at.e financing of power plant If the State is willing to lend us (Co-op City) $35 to $40 million, why not lend us the money needed to build our power plant and we can pay them back beginning the Year 2006 or 2013? This would be showing good faith and assist us out of our financial struggle at the same time. .

Robert Steves, Executive Director of the State Housing Finance Agency, said this package is "the bottom line." Do you remember hearing this from Lee Goodwin, Robert Vagt, Paul BelIíea, Victor Marrero, Jay Goldman, John Heimann and a host of relatives and others?

Nothing is the bottom line.

There is always room for improvement and renegotiation.

ALTERNATIVE: Extemid time between mc:reases Rent increases at an affordable rate, not economic rent, on a three-year period, not two-year period. Six years, maybe, but break up those years into three and three. Yes, voting an increase is a tough decision, but we must maintain this Corporation.

Governor Carey's office said on Monday that the Governor hopes to propose a $100 million Mitchell-Lama Bill, which would bail out Co-op City by the end of this week.

ALTERNATIVE: Wm we see M-L $? $100 million . . . How much is coming to Co-op City and will this not, in fact, lighten the impact of the rent rate increase? Promises, promises, promises. $1,000 a room for prospective cooperators.

ALTERNATIVE: Decrease eqmty :requests From $600 to $700 a room. An increase of $400 is too much and it puts a burden on young families, who would love to move into Co-op City. Also, eliminate the 10 percent surcharge on rent for new cooperators.

If we are to make Co-op City a place where young families want to come, then we must make rents affordable to them. We must fill up our larger apârt-. menfs and make sure that our schools are not under-utilized.

We must talk about protection for the future. Co-op City is not to become a ghost town. It must be a place where senior citizens can hear the pítter-patter of little feet, because a community without children becomes a dying community. We want a viable community, alive and well.

There are alternatives - rebuild the power plant and make it a total energy facility . . . renegotiate the package . . . we must vote "NO" on this referendum.

Ibert Einsteintaking a look at a brilliant scientist

By Morris Logan Albert Einstein March H, 1879-April 1955 As a member I would like to dedicate this article to the J. W. V. Post 500 of Co-opCity and to its newly elected commander, Mike Levinson.

Friday, March 14, 1980 the nation and the world celebrated the lOlst birthday of Albert Einstein In celebrating his birth, let . us also acknowledge and pay tribute to the greatest scientist the modern world has ever known.

-Ó.

Albert Einstein was not only

Albert Einstein

the formost, but also the humblest of scientists and scholars; and with all his attributes and geníous he did not look the part.

He was a small man with bushy hair, and his mode of dress was without pretense.

He generally wore an old polonecked sweater and one of his pleasures was relaxing in his favorite lounge chair smoking his traditional pipe. He loved to play the violin and was deeply moved by human· suffering.

Just before the outbreak of World War U, American scientists learned that in Nazi Germany progress was being made with nuclear fission, and that there was a danger of the Germans developing an atom bomb.

Einstein addressed a letter to President Roosevelt, drawing attention to this alarming possibility and urging that the United States should push forward with its own nuclear research.

This initiated consultation that led to the vast Manhattan Project and eventually to the atom bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 in order to force a Japanese surrender.

Einstein was deeply troubled by his role in this chapter. He later became chairman of an international committee of distinguished nuclear scientists that

pressed for a total ban on nuclear weapons. In general, he was horrified that scientific advances should be exploited by mankind for destructive purposes and used the example of a sharp razor being given as a toy to a three year old child in referring to this chapter of history.

Although not an observant Jew, Einstein was identified with the Jjewísh people and was keenly sensitive to their plight. When Israel came to birth in 1948, Einstein hailed the event with enthusiasm and gave generously of his time for fundraísíng, In a letter to the Jewish Labor Committee, Einstein reflected the humanitarian spirit which he retained throughout his life. He wrote in part: "The power of resistance which had enabled the Jewish people to survive for thousands of years has been based to a large extent on traditions of mutual helpfulness . . . put to an especially severe test.

May we stand this test as well as did our fathers ... We have no other means of self-defense ... " Einstein died quietly and peacefully at his home in Princeton on April 18, 1955.

Deà.r Friend:

I write to you out of a; feeling ot gra.ve, concern, which I believe ;you abare. I am conVinced that if' the present bitterness· continues to domillate 1nte?1l&tione.lrelations we rece ca.ta.strophe.

We can not count on the prestige or strength of a.ny single nation to brin« about internatioœl stability.

The power tba.t one countcy possesses to~, tomorrowWill belong also to others.

Industrial 1.netalle.tiona, however complex, can be duplicated; inventive ingenuity and economic reecueces eea be exploited under other systems of government.

So long as 1nte:mat1onal relations are. detennined by rival national sovereignties, the threat ot atomic war will rem.in.

We sa1ent1ats believe that a clear and wideepree.d understanding ot the £acte and implications of the atomic d~acoveriee is indispensable to a rea.sone.ble public stand on questions of 1nte:rnat1onal polit1Ce. Given .this understa.n.ding, men and women will recognize. that only international cocperet.Ièn through effective institutions can ensure security against hums.ni ty Is dest.ruotion.

The enclosed a~iole sets f'orth my belief's· as to the reeecue £or tbe stalemate which confronts us toéùey'in the vitally important negotia.tions on international atomic energy control.

It proposes cer-eetn actions on the part or Our people and our government which I think would be helpful in lessening the present tensions.

Because each one of us must bear hie share of the burden of this genemt1on. I ~sk you to consider these suggestions, and to dfecusë them with your neighbors.

Only through olear formul.a.tlon and fro.nlc disousalon of concrete prcpcaeâs can men ot good will in a.11 countries help to achieve a aoltition.

Now still a little thne remains tor ue to consider .different paths leading to the eatablishment of a. federation o:t nations ln which menma.y develop and uee their oree.tive o.apac1ties to serve mankind. Each one · ot us can do his part by workl.Dgto bring about responsible public action baaed on understanding of the prea ent crisis. · Through our campaign of publio education on the simple facts of atomic energy and its social 1mplica.t1one, we of the EmergencyCoa;iS 1ttee o:t A.tomleScientists have pledged our utmost effort to th1a end. Friends have already subscribed nearly $400,000.00 o1t the one million do.lle.ra we .need to carry out our minimum progrsm. I ask you to help ua in f'ulf1lling our task.

'Jesus' offers realistic look at famous religious figure

By Rev. Robert A. Gendreau

Jesus is a feature length film presentation of a G¬ nesisproduction released by Warner Brothers, Produced by John Heyman, and cordírected by Peter Sykes and John Kirsch, from a screenplay by Barnet Fishbein,

Battle scene from 'Apocalypse Now'.

Dining Out

Keeping the good name at As one of the last of perhaps a handful of Bromåtes who never had the opportunity to eat at Schwellers, I had only the reputation of the decades old establishment to go by prior to my first visit there recently.

Schweller's underwent a change in management two summers ago, but its new owners have succeeded in preserving the outstanding reputation it earned over the years. In fact, owner Scott Dragoon, at 23, one of thé city's youngest deli managers, seems quite intent on improving an already highly popular enterprise.

For one, Schweller's is . no longer just a deli - unless you know of delis which offer nearly 50 main entrees, 33 appetizers, soups and salads, 13 varieties of meat (and a countless number of meat combination offerings), 21 special kosher delicacy dishes and 16 desserts. To say there is something for everyone is putting it mildly.

Scott says he follows a policy of keeping his customers happy.

Unhappy with a dish you've ordered? Scott will exchange it.

Want your corned beef extra lean? No problem at an.

And not only are ample-sized portions prepared to your specifications, but Scott insists that all dishes be aesthetically pleasing as wen. He told us a story about a hew helper who prepared a salad dish without the proper alignment of vegetables. "I turned it upside down," explained Scott, using hand gestures for emphasis. "H's got to be done perfectly, so I told him to do it again."

Several specialties stand out among the rest. First of all, no dish should be ordered without a side order of traditional stuffed derma. It's made on premises, and is tastier than most other·

dermas we've tried; it's not greasy nor is H too dry.

There's also chopped liver garne, almost buttery in texture, which is good enough to make your mother or grandmother jealous.

Exceptional dishes are Beef Rolantíno, tender broiled choice cut slices of beef wrapped around breast of chicken. Scott's special Wellington, an unusual combination of turkey breast, chopped liver and chopped meat enveloped in puff pastry - is juicy, hot and delicious. Also, there's the e~cepti.onaUy lean Roast Duck platter which, though served with a bitter fruit sauce, is better eaten· alone; Chicken Scampi, plump pieces afloat in a mildly seasoned tomato garlic sauce and a chunky Hungarian Beef Goulash.

We were particularly impressed with the fine cut of brisket Of beef and roast beef served on a hefty sized rye sandwich.

Although we didn't specifically request portions, the meats were almost fat-free. This was true on our unannounced as wen as our scheduled visits.

Sehwelíer's offers a fine variety of desserts from chilled fruits to an adequate strawberry short cake and a very good apple strudel. AH baking is done on premises.

Scott says he was practically born with a meat cutter's knife in his hand and we're tempted to believe him. He puts in over a twelve hour day supervising not, only the food operations but the redecoration of the establishment's interior. Newly installed stained glass tiffany lamps have given Schwellers a bright new look. Along with his father Ben, brother-in-law Peter and waitresses such as Bernadette, Scott

'hweller's is intent on keeping the Schweller's name among the top in the city. So far, he's succeeding.

Sehwellers is located at 3411 J ererne Avenue and is open Mondays through Fridays 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays 9 a.m. to 9 p.m, Diner's Club, Carte Blanche and American Express cards are accepted.

Schwellers also caters parties of an sizes (among its standard deli fare, Sehweller's also offers heros with "everything included" from three to 60 feet long).

For further information, call Scott at OL 5-8649.

The dialogue, of Jesus, the newly released film, with but a few exeptíons is taken from the Synoptic Gospel of St. Luke. Beginning with the Annunciation, the film carries us through the life .of Jesus up to the point of his Aseencíon in to heaven.

The scenery in this film is spectacular, almost worth the price of admission in itself. AH the scenes were shot on location in Israel. They give the film a sense and feeling of the first century time.

The cast includes one "star" who plays the role of Jesus. British Shakesperian actor Brian Deacon. He is supported by a crew of 45 featured actors and thousands of extras. With the exception of Deacon, an the members of the cast are Israeli and unknown outside their own country. _The acting was superb; and without a number of stars in the film, you are able toconcentrate on the "personalities" of the main characters as well as the unfoldingof the stories.

I must be honest in stating that after the initial introduction of the Apostles, I delved into a bit of a game of identification as to the

originof some of the actors. I was able to detect Russian and G¬ rman accents. I wonder how many others I missed.

The makers of the film claim to be making a first century docudrama, which is realistic and dirty. Illustrations: donkey dung in the temple and garbage in the courtyard.

The scenes are realistic, as when the angel or angels appear to Mary or the shepherds or at the empty tomb. They are believable because they just appear and say their words and then recede into the background. You have no sense that they must be accompanied by an orchestra and a 450-member chorus. They appear as part of the drama and not as an intrusion or insertion.

The apostles, again maintaining a realistic plane, are a motley crew. Some tall and slim, some tall and fat, some short and thin, others short and fat. Some with beards and some without. They are a totally believable group of twelve men, Brian Deacon as Jesus gives a very strong performance. He portrays Jesus as a caring and sensitive man; one who can laugh and smile and enjoy a good story or joke. He gives us a very human quality about the man, Jesus, without losing the dignity and godlikeness of the man.

One major criticism of this film and all others I have 'seen like it, is that when you try to cover the whole life of Jesus, the (continued mn page 00)

10. Legislation Required: eNo guaranty of necessary legislative action. Entire program is dependent on enactment of State Legíslatíon (but, HFA will immediately . resume interim-financing of construction defect repair until Legislature acts or adjourns. So if bills don't pass -we lose nothing but gain some construction financing. elf Legislature fails to act - The deal is off and all parties are released from all obligations. We are no worse off than before, except we get some. construction money from HFA. eLegislature must provide funds fokr construction and deficits each year - but if they fail to do so - we can nullify the agreement.

ofHousing Community Renewal, a Division of the Executive Department of the State of New York ('~DHCR'"} and the Riverbay Corporation, a limited-prof~t housing corporation, incorporated in the State of New York ("Riverbay" ).

Perpese The purpose of this Agreement is to effectuate a long-term solution to the financial and construction problems of Co-op City through the implementation of a workout plan designed to assure the attainment of an economic rent at the end of an agreed upon · workout period, and the correction of the construction-related defects at Co-Op City, by means of a program for paying the cost of the constructionrelated repairs by HFA on behalf of the State.

It is intended that implementation of the workout plan providing for specific carryíng charge increases during the workout period will assure stability to the resident-cooperators and offers the best method of assuring the economic viability of Co-op City.

The Agreement will also permit HF A to recover already outstanding arrearages and those which will accumulate during the workout period.

However, Ri verba y will also be provided with a reasonable period of time to repay such arrearages.

Accordingly, the parties do hereby agree as follows: 1. C-Onstmction-Reiated Defects A. HF A, on behalf of the State of New York ("the State") will pay the cost of repairing all of the conditions which are the result of deficiencies in the plans, specifications, or the construction of Co-op City particularly in view of the site selected for the project ("construction-related defects").

AH such construction-related defects are encompassed in this Agreement as they become known (not merely "emergency" items, or the six areas which had previously been agreed upon for interim financing under an earlier understanding).

Riverbay's reasonable direct cost of supervision and management of construction defect repairs will also be included as an expense of repair. None of the constrtructíon defect expenditures which have been accepted for interim-financing by HFA pursuant to understandings with Riverbay, either before or after the date of this Agreement, shall be considered as mortgage arrears obligations of Riverbay.

The work involved in correcting any and all construction-related defects shall proceed upon execution of this Agreement and in accordance with the procedures established by paragraph B of this Article. Pending formal establishment and funding of the construction-related defect repair

B. The parties the method and, procedure eoncerníng construction-related defects as · set forth in the 1977 Statement of Understanding can be improved upon and the parties are mutually desirous of doing so. A new procedure for determining: (1) whether a condition that has been repaired is a condition which is wholly or partially the result of a construction-related defect· (2) the extent of the HFA's obligations under Paragraph A hereof, and (3) the appropriateness of any expense incurred as a result of such construction-related defect, will be agreed on by the parties hereto and become a part of this Agreement by attaching a description of such procedure as Exhibit A to this Agreement no later than April 1, 1980.

C. To the extent such repairs are found not to be' attributable to construction-related defects, but to deferred maintenance or other causes, the cost of such repairs shall· be included in the budget of, arid paid for

by Riverbay. It is understood thatthe required amounts shall be budgeted annually within the framework of the carrying charges set forth in Article 2 hereof, and shall not require any additional increases in such carrying charges during. the workout period.

D. DHCR agrees that funds expended for construction-related defect repairs will be considered in determining the level of reserves which will be required of Riverbay at the end of the workout period.

2. Carrying Charges A. Riverbay agrees to implement and collect increases in carrying charges as follows: (i) Effective April 1, 1980 until June 30, 1982: a per room per month increase of $10.27, bringing the average to $61.64 per . room per month (an average increase of 20%) '(ii) Effective July l, 1982 until June 30, 1984: a per room per month increase of $9.86, bringing the average to $71.50 per room per month ( an average increase of 16%). (iii) Effective July 1, 1984 until June 30, 1986: a per room per month increase of $11.44, bringing . the

average to $82.94 per . room per month (an average increase of 16%).

(iv) Effective July 1, 1986, such additional carrying charge increase as may be necessary to obtain an "economic rent" as that term is hereinafter defined and to amortize other obligations as required by Articles 6 and 7 of this Agreement.

B. If on July 1, 1986, the repair of construction-related defects has not been completed for any reason, DHCR, HFA and Riverbay shall enter

mortgage will not· be; foreclosed during the term of the workout period provided that Riverbay fulfills an of its obligations during this workout períed, ·

D.. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph A of this Article, Rivere bay will increase the carrying charges of each apartment that is sold to a new tenant-cooperator, by an amount equal to ten (10%) percent over the carrying charge ra te in existence at the time of such sale, whenever any apartment is sold for the first time after May l, 1980, except that no such increase shall be applicable to apartments that are sold to anyone who is a tenant-cooperator of Riverbay on April l, 1980 (provided, however, that no such exemption shall be so construed as to require any reduction of carrying . charges once the 10% increase has been im posed on an apartment, by virtue of a subsequent sale to a tenant-cooperator who is eligible for the benefit conferred by this provision).

eThe State has done itsown market survey to ascertain that even at the higher rate of equity contribution, the apartments arë' salable once the money is committed to repair construction defects. If they are wrong on this, they will obviously have to lower the equity contribution in order to make certain that apartments can be sold. The Agreement also contains a clause agreeing to work wíthus in order to develop a way to give existing cooperators an opportunity to share in any enhanced value of the apartments. In fact, we have already received applications at the higher rent and equity.

8. lt is a "&d Deal?" eThe opposition claims that people will not be able to afford the economic rent which will have to be paid six years from now. Even if that were true, we are better off putting it off for six years. The alternative would be to have to pay economic rent right now and they don't need an agreement with us in order to raise rents to that level. ein any case, we will be no worse off when we face economic rent six years from now than we are today.

As a matter of fact, we will be better off because construction defect repairs will have been paid for by the State and because we have arranged long-term financing of City taxes and preveous mortgage defects .

Q -· My daughter and I are about to redecorate her bedroom, and we would like your help with a problem we have encountered.

She is a teen-ager with romantic tastes and would love to have a four-poster canopy bed. However, the room is really too small.

Can. you suggest a suitable compromise? Any other ideas you have about an overall . . decorative scheme, colors, fabrics and floor covering to use would also be appreciated. -· Mrs. P.R., San Francisco A -· When space is at a premium, as in your daughter's bedroom, it is difficult to include a four poster bed, which introduces an overpowering look. However, there are a variety of alternatives. One of them is shown here, in a charming bedroom for a teen-age girl, designed by Donna Merz. The young occupant of the room also had romantic tastes, and Donna satsífed them through the use of old-fashíned fabrics, pretty colors and a romanticlooking bed.

As you can see, the dimensions of this particular room were diminutive: also the space was

Adding new plants to your garden This is a fine time of the year to add some new plants to your indoor garden and it need not be a costly adventure. Most of the orchids and bromeliads I buy for my garden room rarely cost more than $10 and many are in the range of $5. However, I don ot buy indiscriminately. I shop. And that's what I suggest you do.

Generally, I look over mailorder catlogues from various suppliers: those that specialize in, say, gesneriads or orchids are always bound to be less expensive sources than a general overall supplier I have found.

And 95 percent of my plants come from out of state -· many from Chicago. While freight may becostly, I find it less fxpensive than buying at plant shop or florists where overhead is high and you are paying part of the rent. Also, the selection is larger than in a local shop.

Many people have asked me if it is safe to ship plants long distances from mail-order suppliers and I say, empathícally, yes. First, most plant suppliers are very reputable and if something is damaged on route you generally can file daims and collect your money.

Secondly, in all but the most severe winter and hot summer weather you can have plants shipped safely. I have yyt to lose a plant from shipping periods of, say, even four to five days.

When you do get plants to your home that have been in boxes for several days don't expose them to sunlight immediately.

that turned the alcove into the perfect spot for the bed, complete with a half-crown fashioned of plywood wrapped with fabric. ~A double swag has been stapled to the crown, dispensing with the need for a headboard, and in many ways it simulates a halfcanopy, just the compromise you're looking for. Simple to execute, the corona is also a remarkably effective way to dramatize a small room lacking in character.

The fabric used for the corona and swags is a cotton with a perma glaze finish, from. Jones and Erwin. Called Whitfield's Brocade," it matches the wallcovering of the same name, here in the sky blue with trailing white leaves accented by nosegays in a lovely.combination of beiges and brown.

The same fabric is used for the dust ruffle and throw pillows, with a white coverlet of eyelettrimmed pillow. The window shade is laminated with the coordinating pattern, "Whitefield's Damas," repeated on the wall below the chair rail for a custom look throughout.

Pretrimrned, prepasted and vinyl-coated for washability, "Whitefield's Brocade" comes

them in a shady place for a few days.

Also inspect for insects -· many times these can be hidden in soil so it is smart to set plants in a sink of water for 20 minutes so any hidden quests will come to the surface and can be discarded.

There are mail-order specialists in many plant categories and you will find their ads in garden magazines. Shipping methods and costs- can be secured from local sources and there aremany ways to get plants to you including air freight, air parcel post, and so on.

In any case, 'the amount of money paid for transit can be equalized among the plants you order, six or ten, or whatever, and it is best to accumulate your order rather than sending for a plant here and there.

Happy plant hunting.

Suggestions The goldfish plant, Hypoeyrta, is a popular indoor subjject. New varieties such as Red Arrow and Campus Sunset are especially handsome ofr indoor color with their lovely orange flowers. Look for these plants at mail-order suppliers.

Moth orchids (Phalaenopsís) are being advertised in many garden magazines. These are beautiful plants but do require care and time. Don't expect them to grow on their own. They need daytime temperatures of about 78 Fahrenheit with a 5 degree drop at night. Do not allow potting medium to get soggy nor allow water to accumulate in the crown of the plant.

is romantic and tranquil. Using coordinated fabrics not only introduces that custom-designed look but also helps to expand the feeling· of space since the eye is not jarred by too many contrasts.

Here the wood floor was left bare. You can do the same, adding an area rug at one side of the bed: alternatively you can put down wall-to-wall' carpet or use carpet tiles. Plants, pictures and other accresoríes add to the decorative overtones. On the opposite wall, not shown, are a small dressing table and bookshelves fQf storage. .

Donna Merz designed a romantic and charming room for a teenager, using coordinated and matching fabrics and wallcoverings. The corona above the bed, balanced by side swags, is· a simple but effective way to dramatize a small room lacking in character.

Everybody loves potatoes, especially those on diets!

At about 100 calories apiece, potatoes are less fattening to your body than a lot of foods that might take their place: buttered rolls, for example, Potatoes have no fat, but they do provide onethird of your vitamin C requirement, plus. protein, fiber, iron, thíamin and niacin. The "bad press" potatoes .have suffered is due to the way they're often cooked or served. It takes only one tablespoon of butter or about two ounces of sour cream, approximately, to double the calorie count of a baked potato. As "french fries, " potatoes soak up twice- their calories in grease!

One of the leanest and least fattening toppings for a baked potato is cottage cheese, beaten to a creamy smoothness in a blender or food processor.

ke a closer look

By AI Abra.ms As the days come closer to the time when you must make a decision regarding your future in this development, it is important that you sift through all the flyers, ads and news artíclês.

There are those ads which tell· you to renegotiate. If you believe that to be true, then look further on in this paper. You will ñnd''a letter from Robert Steves, director of the Housing Finance Agency, in which he says that further negotiations are not feasible and that the HF A cannot wait any longer. He goes on to say that, if the settlement package is not approved, he directs the Commissioner of Housing to impose an increase.

That increase will NOT be 20 percent. H will be at least 25 percent and probably 28 percent.

That's oota scare tactic. That is a fact. If you are to be frightened of anything, then it silouldbe a 25 percent increase, with no construction defect monies.

Therefore, the problem becomes larger.

Organizations are saying they do want a strike and are not talking strike. However, one alleged leader says we are not talking strike now, You notice the word NOW? Behind the arguments, behind the personal attacks, behind the threats, lies one truth; militant action (that's the mild word).

That's the plan, you 're being told.

That's not true. You figure it out.

We did not consider a strike, and all our options were exhausted.

Strike is an alternative that is · being offered. Do you want a strike? Who wins in that kind of conflict? No one ever wins.

I live in Co-op City, and I intend to make it my home for many years to come. I would never do anything that I felt would be detrimental to the community.

These aré not easy times, and I believe with the money that the state is. going to loan us, and with the state's paying for an. our construction defects, Co-op City can remain a stable and viable community for many years to come.

Demoaatic Distrid Leader backs

Rent Stabilization Agreement The following. is Democratic District Leader Sandra Parness' statement on the proposed rent settlement.

Sandra Parness, Democratic· District Leader: "I wholeheartedly support the rent agreement negotiated by the Riverbay board because it offers Co-op City over six years of stability, something virtually no other community in the New York City metropolitan area will have. A 20 percent rent increase over · Tl months is extremely modest when compared with the current annual inflation rate of 18 percent per year. Further down the road, two 16 percent rent increases, each covering a two-year period, are better than almost any other community can hope to expect.

For the first time since we moved into Co-op City, we have a chance for stability and peace in our community. The agreement the Riverbay board negotiated with the state is far better than the pact Charles Rosen negotiated one year after a 13-month-long rent strike. The Riverbay board is to be commended for negotiating a settlement that promises state money to repair construction defects and state aid to assure that Co-op City has enough

money with which to pay its bill over the next six years.

With the inflation rate now three. times worse than it was when Rosen negotiated his settlement in 1977, we now have a much better agreement with the state. We have proven that common sense arguments with the state can do more for residents than strike and confrontation.

Without any qualms, I urge you to vote yes, to approve the rent settlement with the state, in the March 26th community referendum.

GOPieøder supports package The füHowing is Republican District Leader Helen Presser's statement of the proposed rent settlement.

I am supporting the Rent Stabilization Package proposed by the Board of Directors. I am aware of the burden that this will place on many of the families in the community, including my own, but feel that the advantages of stabilizing our rents for the next six years offsets the apartment disadvantages of the proposal.

Certain community organizations are leading the community to believe that the state · wm renegotiate the settlement package if the com· munity does not approve the settlement pact. Don't believe their distortions.

Robert Steves, the executive director of the State Housing finance Agency (HfA), stated this week that the rent settlement package which we wm vote on Wed· nesday is "the bottom Une." No matt,r what others may thh~k, the state has said that they wlll not reopen negotiations if the settlement package is not approved. ln fact, Steves has ordered the State Division of Housing to im· pose a drastic rent increase if we do not approve the settlement package.

The state has sedd that they wm order a 56 percent rent hike, and raise the average room rent to $80 per room. · FACT: If we do not approve the settlement package, the state wlll impose a massive rent increase, they wm take control of the Riverbay Corp., and wlll remove the resident board of directors.

FACT: A rent str;ike will only destroy Co·op City.

We went that path once before, and the agreement which ended the strike was less favorable than the current· rent settlement package.

If we vote no, we wm lose everying we fought for. There wm be no rent stabfüzation, no repairs of construction defects, a massive rent increase, and the deterioration of Co-op City .

a function in a group that continues to support the struggle for rent stabilization.

Accordingly, and with the pledged support of delegates of the Building Chairpersons Association and Coalition of Community Organizations, let it hereby be resolved: The Co-op City Council will now participate in a newly constituted coalition organized to defeat the proposed Riverbay-New York State agreement in the referendum to be held on March 26, 1980.

This coalition will continue to struggle for affordable housing costs. This coalition will consist of other organizations who are united in this purpose and acceptable to the coalition. The coalition shall invite those members of the Board of Directors who believe that this agreement must be defeated.

Introduced by Carl Trost.

Seconded by Ron Meyers.

By Ed Scœrienberg Prior to the last Riverbay Board election, Parness and Company bombarded this community with flyers that promised "No rent increase" and "security in every lobby". When questioned after the election, Parness said that the statements were merely "Campaign rhetoric". It would seem that Parness and Company are again ínmdulgíng in "champaign rhetoric". In the paid advertisements now being put out by CERL Board members, the statement is made that "No senior citizen will be forced to pay beyond his means - you are: "protected." Is that so? Let's look at some facts.

to because they believed in a rental community not just six years, but rather to live their ·lives out here. The truth is there is a battle of concepts to be decided on March 26. Simply put - we, the undersigned, believe in the concept of fair and affordable rents. The Board, the H.F.A. and D.H.C.R. believes in the concept of economic rent.

When the Co-op City Council, the Building Chairpersons Association and the Coalition of Community Organízations supported a 12 percent, three year program, it was based on what was felt was affordable to the cooperators of Co-op City. The fact that Governor Carey declared 12 percent dead; that Parness announced its demise; that Anderson buried it in the Senate - all this does not belie the truth - thé cooperators could not afford more. Precisely because inflation has hit our food shopping, our clothing, our childrens' education - our last bastion of defense against this onslaught on our pocketbooks is our hom e. Further, our defense of the 12 percent concept was meant to strengthen the bargaining position of our Board against the · original demands of the HF A, later escalated to the 25-16-16 and G . . . knows what added in.

Apparently, the Board and its Negotiating Team had another concept in mind, and that was "economic rent." This concept is a gross betrayal of the facts underlying the beginnings of Co-op City. How can the Board ignore the 129 million dollar cost overruns in agreeing to this settlement? How can the Board ignore the castration of the power plant by the State and UHF, allowing us to lose three to four million dollars per year in energy

Agreement or no agreement, Mr. Parness, our campaign will continue. We will win the Nizer suit! We will wage every effort on behalf of the 129 million dollar suit and the power plant! We remember the "equity" struggle which brought CERL to power, and recall this to let the Board know that Board ratification will not be the end-all of a campaign to win the rights of the cooperators.

President Roosevelt warned not to have a headline mentality.

The Board has skillfully placed the 20 percent for 'Zl months at the head of the agreement. But, if one reads the bottom line, this is a program of rent instability or runaway inflationary rent. The months and years run quickly, and year six to sixteen of this program can be catastrophic.

Vote nol A no vote is a vote for a continuing struggle rent stabilization!

Give Them to God

By Gertrude Hayes V/hen children are bom, you dedicate your life to them. What about dedicating their life to God? Many of our children are what they are because we forgot to give them to God, We, as parents, are hung up on other things . . . buying them leather coats, the latest jeans and many other matèríal things. Parents are interested in how they look than in spiritual guidance.

Start teaching. your children that God loves them. God is good.

God is concerned about every part of their lives -· there is no

need too big or too small to be included in God's program.

If you plant a good seed it will grow straight and you , will admire it. It will grow beautiful because you have given it the attention and love it needs to grow. God does the same, for all of us when we know his word.

Train up a child in the way he or she should go: and when he is old, he or she will not depart from it.

Teach your children to read the Bible. The devil is making a desperate bid for our children's souls. Beware, the time is now.

Read Deuteronomy 6:6-9.

istration now o Registration is now open for our Summer-Daz Day Camp Program. Registration hours are between 5 and 6:30 p.m, every weekday at the Church Center, located at 150 Dreiser Loop (lobby entrance).

There will be a $5 non-refundable registration fee for each child. The camp fee is as follows: $40 per week per child and lunch will be brought from home. The program, which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30, p.m., will provide afternoon snacks, arts and crafts, music, dance; swimming instructions, a five-day trip program and late nite for teens.

Camp starts on Monday, June 30, and ends on Friday, August 22. For more information call Lisa Stockham at the Center at 320-0844 every afternoon from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m.

MINIMUM· DEPOSIT $10,000 This rate is effective. March 20 through March 26, 1980.

The annual yield is based on reinvestment of principal and interest at maturity for the same rate which cannot be guaranteed beyond 26 weeks' maturity. At that time the account may be renewed at the then-current rate or withdrawn without penalty. FDIC regulations require that premature withdrawal of deposit may be made only with the consent of the Bank, and a subsæntiei penalty of up to three months' interest be forfeited on the amount withdrawn except on the depositor's death or declared incompetency.

FDIC regulations require that premature withdrawal of deposit may be made only with the consent of the Bank, and esubsuuuisi penalty of up to six months' interest be forfeited on the amount withdrawn except in the case of the depositor's death or declared incompetency.

In the past, savers didn't have much choice. To get high interest, you had to have a large minimum deposit. Or you had to leave your money on deposit for a much longer time.

N ow savers have a choice. Because Dollar Savings Bank offers high-interest term accounts to the big saver and small saver alike.

If you have $10,000, it will take only six months for your money to earn this outstanding rate.

But even if you have as little as $300, you can still qualify for high interest. All you have to do is leave it on deposit for the relatively short time of21/z years. Either way, you can't lose.

More information about both of these accounts is available at any Dollar office.

B'nai B'rith, B'nai B'rith O Women, B'nai B'rith Youth and all other volunteers will meet at 9 a.m. at Garage 2 in Dreiser Loop for the distribution of specially prepared parcels containing various foods and items for the Passover holiday. The urgency for the call for extra help this year cannot be stressed enough!

Being in need of the basic necessities for daily living and loneliness are two of the tragic experiences which many of our Jewish elderly confront daily.

Residing in changing areas, they often become forgotten shut-ins.

They live with their memories and, at this time of year, with thoughts of the happy Passover

selves and their plight. This frequently serves to compound their problems.

B'nai B'rith's project H.0.P.E. (Help Our People Everywhere) has now become a permanent undertaking, reaching out to the elderly Jewish needy in, an attempt to alleviate some of their problems and to help them carry out the traditions of the Passover holidays, which have long been a part of their lives.

The efforts of the B'naí B'rith family in the past have been outstanding and plans to service recipients bave been underway for weeks. Anyone interested in joining the Project HOPE brigade is asked to assemble Sunday, March 23, to accompany the B'nai B'rith volunteers in their commitment.

Qualified Jewish families living in Co-op City should contact the Rabbi of one of the synagogues in the area or the Co-op City Jewish Community Council at 320-1234.

Annual Spring Affair at l..emkoHall Once again a successful social event was run by Wendell Willkie Lodge 714, Knights of Pythias.

This one was our Annual Spring Affair held on Saturday, March 15, at Lemko Hall. More than 115 couples ate and danced the night away. in addition to honoring PC Dave Appelbaum for the more than 25 years of service to Wendell Willkie Lodge and to the Pythian Order.

All those interested in becoming a member, be it as' a neophyte, dual, reinstatement, transferree or social, please call our membership chairman Gil Tabakin at 671-2986.

For the past few weeks, Larry Hochfeld of University Co-op City Lodge 720 and yours truly have been writing about the Wheelchair Basketball Game that will take place at Truman H.S., right here in Co-op City.

The response to our pleas have been anything but favorable. We are supposed to be a sportsminded, intelligent, compassionate, understanding, neighborly, and interested community. It therefore seems unrealistic that our pleas have not brought in more requests for tickets. These athletes are not looking for charity or pity, but the right to perform a sports function in their way.

There are no players, be it in playground, high school, college or pros who give more of themselves when playing, than these men who race up and down the court in their wheelchairs. Two dollars will give you a courtside seat to an exciting National Wheelchair Basketball Association game between the Brooklyn Whirlaways and the New York Jets.

By Jules Wint.er On March 23, the Brotherhood Memorial J.W.V. Post 454 will hold its 35th installation of officers at the Castle Hill Jewish Community Center at 10 a.m. In joint ceremonies, the Ladies' Auxiliary will also install their new officers for the coming year.

A full house, as usual, is in the offing.

Our recent testimonial dinnerdance at the Villa Cavelli was not only an impressive tribute to Past Commanders Jules Winter and Murray Cohen, but a memorable social success. We would like to see this function become a forerunner for future testimonials.

Al Freiman, a member of Post 454 for 28 years and a former County Commander, was endorsed by both the County and the Post as a candidate for the high office of Jr. Vice Commander of the Department of New York. Al is presently Department Quartermaster, which again demonstrates that the Brotherhood has the deep roots needed for successful accomplishments.

The balance of monies for the annual weekend is now being accepted. Send your checks to Chairman Morris Tugander at 4180-14 Hutchinson River Pkw'y East, or to Sol Naptaly at 140-9 Asch Loop.

For tickets and/or information please can Larry Hochfeld at 379-4513, or Joe Horowitz at 6711321. The game will be played on Friday, April 11, plan to be there, you won't be sorry.

Also, as a special treat, former WKTU DJ Peter Allen Burkard will be spinning the disco sounds so that you can really get ínto.the latest and hottest discos. And, not only will you be able to move to the music, but we'll be giving away over 20 disco albums during the evening to many of you who attend SuperDisco II.
