Voters in the Frontier Central School District next Wednesday will make no mistake in approving the proposed $14.47 million budget for the Frontier Central Schools for the upcoming school year. It simply maintains current educational and program standards. The prudent budget reflects about a seven percent increase over last year, slightly less than area costs of living hikes.

Yet it still rrwiwrtnnTt the quality of education traditional to the demands of the district and deemed essential to training the students far their competitive futures. While some decry the overall increase of $997,328 over the current spending plan, $548,813 or 55 of that figure is traceable to mandated increases in pension plans, social security and other increments over which the board had no control. Interestingly each of the five candidates for the two school board vacancies at stake, incumbents and challengers alike, urge the budget's adoption with no reservations. Were its demands flagrant certainly it would have become a campaign issue with one or more of the challengers. Voters wS do well next Wednesday to give the budget their resounding approval on its merit and frill-free provisions.

of the year by the 't. cealing his movements from the British. Cornwallis, badly outmanned and outma-neuvered, was caught on a small peninsula between the French fleet and the Continental army. A brilliant military strategy, aided by good fortune, made York-town, Va. the last major battle of the Revolution.

Washington himself fired the battle's first shot October 9, 1781, a scene portrayed by Clyde O. DeLand in a painting owned by The Continental Insurance Companies. According to an eyewitness, the general's cannonball crashed through a house "where many of the officers were at discomposing the dishes, and either killed or wounded the one at the head of the table." Cornwallis surrendered on October 19. Although a peace treaty was not signed until two years later, the increasing cost of the war, political opposition at home to Britain's colonial policy, and the growing military cooperation of France and the United States convinced the British government that recognizing the independence of her American colonies was necessary. RECYCLING HELD ECONOMY MEASURE Editor; Hamburg Sun Although our Village recycling center has been reasonably successful, the cost of waste is rising.

Especially costly are the nonbiodegradable objects like beverage containers. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 25 of consumer waste could be recycled for use. The following results of their study should influence Congress to pass a mandatory beverage deposit law; 5.2 million tons of glass a year could be saved by 1980. 7.2 million tons a year (containers) would be eliminated from roadside litter. Minicipal waste would be reduced by 5 Aluminum cans recycling saves 78 in energy needed to make them from raw materials.

Savings in aluminum would be 500,000 tons per year and for steel cans, 1.5 million tons per year. A net increase in jobs of 85,000 is projected by 1980. Labor (buying power) would increase by $400 million by 1980. Consumer savings $2.5 billion by 1980 and $3.2 billion by 1985. EPA surveys in Oregon and Vermont have shown that the feared loss of jobs has not happened.

The mandatory beverage container deposit legislation needs to be supported by all citizens. Kate Riddlesberger Colvin Smith Co-Chairman Hamburg Village Environment Board GRANGE THANKS SUN Editor; Hamburg Sun In behalf of Hamburg Grange I want to thank you for publicity given the Grange, especially during the week of April 23-29. As publicity chairman, I also extend my personal thanks. Mrs. Wendell Rice irrv Vwr- By Joan Russo After the battle of Saratoga, Great Britain's war policy in the colonies became less ambitious.

Instead of bold strategies calling for Urge army movements, British soldiers occupied coastal cities and other easily fortified areas which were not far from the protection of the British fleet. Cornwall is' expedition through the Carolinas was one of their occasional forays out of these areas. Having sustained heavy losses in a march northward to Virginia, Cornwall is withdrew toward the sea coast with the expectation of taking up fortified positions. At worst, British naval superiority in coastal waters would permit a successful evacuation by sea. The arrival of a large French fleet in the West Indies changed the situation.

A broad plan was devised which involved isolating the British fleet in Chesapeake Bay, thereby cutting off the British Army in Virginia from its supplies. Feigning an attack on New York, Washington marched his army of American and French soldier to the south while con THEFT OF MEMENTO SPOILS NATURE TOUR Editor; Hamburg Sun On May 24 from 3-4 p.m. the first grade Ranger Rick group was at the Woodview Avenue Park on a nature tour. At p.m., after returning from creekside explorations with magnifying glass, one of the adult leaders found that $20 and a keepsake coin were missing from 'her purse. There were several young people in the area who were questioned but they said the theft had not been observed.

If the first graders have learned the value of things in nature not to pick wildflowers that is great. But they also learned that others do not respect property. If the thief will put the coin in an envelope and mail it to the Charlotte Avenue School, it will be returned to its owner. Then first graders can be told that respect for the property of others is the same as in the nature world. Kate Riddlesberger COMMUNITY IS THANKED FOR HUNGER WALK SUPPORT Editor; Hamburg Sun 1 would like to express my appreciation to all those in the Hamburg community who made the "Crop Hunger Walk" a success.

The arrangements, the organization, and indeed the walk itself showed a lot of help and cooperation. It was great to see that different churches, clubs, youth, and adults could work together. Especially, I want to thank the town officers and the police department for their help on this walk, and the Hamburg Sun for all the news coverage and publicity. It was a great witness of our concerns for the hungry. Robert W.
