How he is going to make it happen is anybody's But come Oct. 4, Dr. Stanley is "pretty certain find a way. Maybe some kind of walkie-talkie device held by each of the marching units and the command coming from a central point may work." The 1 graying Chester gynecologist and obstetrician -makes no about the fact that he's busily engrossed in this year's plans nor does he deny that he loves a parade, especially city's tribute to Gen.

Casimir Putaski, the Polish for American Independence during the Revolu- 1 tionary War. Explaining there are about 36 Pulaski Parades around the country, Dr. Stanley said he's attended parades in New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia and that "none can compare with Chester's from a spectator standpoint. "Ours is geared towards being' a parade for entertainment," he says. "The Pulaski.

parade in Chester has become the biggest parade in Delaware Valley with more -and. more interested every year." Boasting that last year's parade drew, about 75,000 spectators, he said pretty. good considering the competition we have with football 'games and other televised Sunday athletic events." Last year's parade was awarded the George Washington Honor Medal by the Freedoms Foundation in Valley Forge. And this year the grand marshal of the parade will be the president of the Freedoms Foundation. Noting he doesn't yet know how many units will be included in the line of march, he said it will probably be more than last year's 3,500 participants, "which included 29 bands plus comedy acts, drum and bugle 'corps, equestrians routines and floats.

"I've calls since May from various' groups that want to participate and I'm still getting calls so I haven't made a final count yet."

About $2,500 worth of prizes garnered through various donations will be awarded to winning units in each of thc- categories. Also awarded will be the 22- inch Pulaski Banner, each of which, Dr. Stanley said, is worth about $100. The embroidered banner, gold on crimson silk, was presented to descendants of the Moravian women who created it for Count Pulaski in 1778.

Dr. Stanley said the parade this year is being called the Pulaski Banner Parade and that participating units who have won a first prize banner in previous years "will lose points if they, don't display it" while marching. He said that if one of the units wins a first prize again this year, instead of giving them another banner they will be awarded a ribbon and an extra $100. Participants will assemble at 2 p.m. at 3rd and Market proceed north on Market, and north on Edgmont to the disassembly point at the judges' stand in Chester Park.

Democratic Senate, said Wednesday that a Southeastern Pennsylvania is a 'critical problem" area against U. S. Sen. Hugh Scott he has found "substantial anti-Scott" sentiment here. Sesler, an Erie Democrat, in an interview with the Daily Times, said a major campaign problem in the Delaware County area is that he is not widely known.

He said he would return to Delaware County on Oct. 15. and possibly would return later this month. Sesler said 'about three of every four" persons he has met during his two-day handshaking, speech making tour of county shopping centers and major industries has been "turned off" by Scott. Sesler criticized Scott for voting in favor of.

the Supreme Court nomination of G. Han-old Carswell. He termed Scott's later apology for that vote "vintage Scott." "He was afraid he may have lost some of the black (and) liberal vote," Sesler said. differed "21 times on major ypte.s.,!L^: Vv 1 in, Washington, would, have voted right along with Schweiker," he said. Sesler said inflation is the most significant issue in his campaign.

He criticized the President's policy of "curbing inflation with unemployment" and said he supports the Reuther plan, under which 25 per cent of all defense contract profits must be set aside for reconversion of the economy from wartime to peace time. His feelings on other issues: Guaranteed income: He supports the "essential concept" of a guaranteed annual income program, but the one proposed by the Nixon, administration "wouldn't be of great help- in Pennsylvania because our minimum is higher" than the one set forth in the plan. Gun Control: He is opposed to it because such laws "serve no real purpose, especially outside urban area. The fact that you register a gun doesn't mean will not use it for crime. We should eliminate the causes for crime through better law enforcement, administration of justice.

Assistant DA tuts already Black GOP council to honor 3 women By JOE SULLIVAN Daily Times Staff Writer Robert A. Wright. Delaware County's only black assistant district attorney, isn't among the persons to be "officially" honored Friday when the Republican Council of Delaware County has its 19th annual banquet in Media. But, then, the black GOP Council doesn't find it necessary to officially Wright, 51, of Chester Township. He is a member of the council which holds him in such high esteem that "honoring" him i automatic.

Wright, who has been an assistant district attorney for years and' is regarded as one of the most capable trial of several attorneys being considered for a possible vacancy on the county bench. The vacancy would occur if Judge James H. Gorbey, a former Chester mayor, is appointed to the U.S. District Court in Philadelphia. U.S.

Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa.) has recommended Judge Gorbey for the federal bench. At the GOP council's banquet a year ago, attended by some 300 black and white Republican leaders, their wives and special guests, several a referred to Wright's having been bypassed for the bench the past. Wright said nothing, but smiled appreciably at the kind remarks about him. Like other Delaware County attorneys.

lawyers in the county, is one however, he has said he would be happy to accept a county judgeship should there be a vacancy. Wright has already been "endorsed" for the possible bench seat by the GOP Council, in a i i to other organizations and individuals. Joseph A. Palazzo, Chester Township's Republican leader and the county's chief deputy clerk of courts, is among those who praise Wright and who is working for him with "muscle and dedication." Tlie county's i a Board of Supervisors (War Board) reportedly is prepared to give Wright serious i a i for the endorsement for the post this time if Judge Gorbey leaves. But there are other top contenders.

Many of the county's GOP eaders are expected to attend the banquet at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Media Motor Lodge, Jaltimore Pike and Providence load, Media. The three Chester women who will be honored at the banquet are Elizabeth Watson, Travilla Logan and Lillian Collins. Mrs. Venera Rice of Chester, council's recording secretary and an employe at the Media courthouse, said that men were guests of honor in past years and the council decided it was "high time" to honor women.

Mrs. Rice said the three lonored guests this year are "beautiful people who have worked for their community and Republican party for years. "Then, too, one might say this is part of the women's liberation movement," she said. Chester County Commissioner Louis F. Waldmann, was nominated as.

Democratic congressional candidate last May in. the primary election, announced his opposition to the airport sometime ago. Ware made his declaration in a letter to Del-Ches-Co Regional Council President Frederick P. Glazier. The council is an organization of officials in the counties' who are against the airport idea.

In his letter, Ware covered five main points. He said the airport "will adversely affect many while benefiting only a few." He added that government "should never impose something distasteful and unwanted on a large segment of the-citizenry unless it can prove the benefits will help an even larger segment." Ware said the claim that the airport would attract industry has never been substantiated. He said two industries indicating an interest in the area said they would not want to locate there if an airport existed. He expressed doubt that the need for another airport in the region has been established. He said exisiting aiports "within reasonable distance" are not being operated to full potential.

Finally Ware said he believes the location of an airport "anywhere in western Delaware County" would impose an economic and safety hardship on residents of the area now or in the future.
