Schryver, Hyde Park, as the new county commissioner of personnel. Schryver presently is serving as commissioner of jurors at WILLIAM P. SCHRYVER a $9,650 salary.

The personnel commissioner's job carries a salary of $10,700. If the appointment is approved by the Board of Representatives, Schryver will fill the post left vacant by the death of William F. Moehrke last Saturday. Schoentag said he had requested a special meeting of the board next Wednesday to act on the appointment. The county executive said he had met with members of the board's personnel committee yesterday to discuss the appointment.

He said one other person had expressed an interest in the position, but that Schryver's record of service, especially his accomplishments as com issioner of jurors, had led to the final choice. Schryver, 55, has served as commissioner of jurors since Jan. 4, 1964. Previously he served as Hyde Park supervisor from 1958 to 1964, and prior to that was town clerk, tax collector, and registrar of vital statistics in that town. He is a former chief of the Hyde Park Fire Department, former president of the Dutchless County School Boards Association and a former member of the Hyde Park Board of Edlucation.

Currently, he is president of the Dutchess Chapter of the Civil Service Employes' Association. He lives with his wife, Amy, and daughter, Susan, at 46 Fuller Lane, Hyde Park. In his letter of recommendation to Rep. Stanley Pulver, chairman of the personnel committee, Schoentag declared, "As town clerk in Hyde Park, he became intimately familiar with the regulations of the New York State retirement system. As supervisor, he was constantly involved with the appointment of employes under terms of the Civil Service law.

"This activity required an exact understanding of the many provisions of the law as it pertains to employment. As clerk and as supervisor, he served as an administrator of personnel, responsible for certification of payrolls and many related personnel functions." Crisis In France Premier Calls Leaders Of Business, Industry PARIS (AP) Premier Georges Pompidou summoned labor and business leaders to meet with him Saturday to seek a solution to the crushing strike wave paralyzing most of France's economic life. More and greater turmoil threatened, meanwhile, as workers, students and farmers called a new round of demonstrations today a few hours before President Charles de Gaulle's address to the nation. DeGaulle was expected to give his analysis of the situation and propose broad outlines for a settlement. The government then would try to reach an agreement with business and labor within these guidelines.

The Communist-led General Confederation of Workers, France's biggest immedilately accepted Pompidou's invitation meet but expressed that hours are being lost." The French Confederation of Democratic Workers also accepted, but warned that the strikes would not stop. Students rioted in Paris Thursday for the second night in succession, and authorities feared the violence would increase. Interior Minister Christian Fouchet warned that "armed extremists" hoped to use the demonstrations today to set off violence which would not be controlled. The National Students Union scheduled demonstrations at four points in northeastern Paris. Rites Are Incomplete For City Youth Killed In War Funeral arrangements are incomplete for Spec.

QUESTION: Last January my husband was ordered by a Family Court judge to pay child support for our two children.

Due to the lack of lawyers' fees and inaction we have lost our home. They just give me the run-around. How can I make them enforce the court's decision? INJUSTICE ANSWER: Family Court Judge Raymond E. Aldrich says if the mother is truly indigent she can get free legal counsel from the Legal Services Bureau, 200 Main St. If she really believes she is getting a "run-around," he says, she should "complain to the boss me." QUESTION: When is the state going to put lane lines on Main Street from Fountain Square to Routes 44-55? The purpose: so that traffic may flow freely 7 9 a.m.

and 4 6 p.m. FRUSTRATED ANSWER: Main Street has recently been striped from the city line east to Routes 44-55. This is the area under state jurisdiction. Designation of two through lanes in each direction cannot be done as parking is permitted during off peak periods at various locations along Main Street. QUESTION: How about timing the light at Innis Avenue and Main Street to allow more than four or five cars to get out of Innis Avenue on the green? HARRIED ANSWER: Police Lt.

Frank J. McManus says that he believes more cars than five can make the green light. He adds that if Main Street traffic were held up any longer, congestion would increase and other cross streets would be blocked. QUESTION: Is there any way we can get a red and green traffic light, with green directional arrow, at Spackenkill Road and Route 9 in the Town of Poughkeepsie? RONALD CUSHING SR. ANSWER: A full interchange is provided at this intersection, utilizing old Spackenkill Road 1 for the right turn movements from Route 9 northbound to Spackenkill Road eastbound and from Spackenkill Road westbound to Route 9 northbound.

Left turns at old Spackenkill Road are not necessary. Ramps are provided at the interchange. Left turns are allowed at the intersection only during off peak periods. If the interchange is used as designed, left turn conflicts are eliminated and so is the need for signals. QUESTION: Why aren't the lights at Church and Main Streets set to allow Church Street traffic to enter and leave Main Street without having to turn left against oncoming cars? This has been a ridiculous situation for years.

R. R. BROWN ANSWER: Police Lt. Frank. J.

McManus says the lights there were installed to pedestrians to cross Main and Church Streets. He says one is not needed for the traffic since it should merge naturally. QUESTION: At Baird Park there are signs announcing a parking charge, yet, in order to enter the park, the gatekeeper collects the fee even though the car is just picking up a passenger or the person is making a purchase at the golf shop or taking a lesson at the golf driving range. In actual practice the charge has become an admission fee to a public park. Is this legal? PUZZLED CITIZEN ANSWER: Harold J.

Dyer, manager for the Taconic State Park Commission, says it's a legal "vehicle use charge." You in without a fee but you pay to use the roads. APPENDAGE: On Tuesday, Press For Action reported that Bernard Weaver, Elizaville, would paint out the words "Kill Vietnamese" painted on a building at the north end of the north-south arterial. Weaver reports he painted over the sign on Wednesday but someone painted "Kill Viet on the newly repainted wall. He has notified police. He plans to paint it again, but is disheartened.

Mary's Church. Goodall's Statement Goodall reported: "This meeting disclosed that in the area that we were permitted to view about four feet more will be taken on the north side of Church Street and about eight feet on the south side of that street. and South Hamilton will be lowered in this area because of the grade in the present road at the intersection. It appears that most porches and front steps will be taken or affected along with front lawns which will have to be "All water, sewer and public utility lines and pipes will be relocated under new sidewalks or in an area between new sidewalks and the existing houses. From what we could learn, there are great problems in relocating these public utilities which must be outside the 40- toot road bed of the highway.

There are proposed three lanes of trathe going cast on Church Street. "Although we asked, we were demed a look at any of the plans for the rest of the highway We were told that the most destructive phase of the highway was relocation of pubhe utilities, the area that cuts to the south of Church Street, the Wimmkee Avenue area, the intersection of Routes 44 and 55 in the Town of Poughkeepsie. The highway plan is still in the working stages. The plan will be adjusted from time to time. The adjustments will de pend on the demands of city officials and the costs involved.

After all adjustments are made, the state will determine if the final plan is feasible. Mr. Sinacori advised us that we might further view the plan in the fall; that the final plan might be ready in May, 1969. but that construction would not commence until May, 1970, or later. were further told that the state intends to go forward with the arterial highway before the southern and northern con nector highways around the city going east-west which will connect Routes 44 and 55 with Route 9."
