A total of 2,499 votes were cast with 1,156 for, 1,305 against, 31 voids and 7 blanks. Voting took place from noon till 9 p. m. in the Fairport High School gymnasium.

At the previous voting on May 27 the bond issue one of the largest in Monroe County school history got 1,070 for and 702 against but fell short by 112 votes of the two-thirds majority required by state law. Lynn Holmes, president of the district's Board of Education commented; "This time the situation was much more decisive inasmuch as we had 734 more voters. Ten per cent of those new votes went for and the remainder against. The school board members feel the proposal must be thoroughly reconsidered. We will do so at our earliest possible convenience."

Mr. 1 lived at 77 i 1 1 nden Blvd. Before his death, he had signed an au-t i ation for the donation of both of his eyes to the Strong Memorial Hos-p i a 1 Eye Bank for use in surgical "transplanting" operations. Mr. Secley probably was best remembered for his sharp mili' tary bearing and the brisk ef ficiency with which he conducted his classes traits which did not keep him from being wclllikcd by his pupils.

During his career at Monroe from 1923 to his retirement in 1946 he never was late for a class and was, absent only once, the day in 1942 the 10th Naval District units left here for duty in Europe. He saw them off at the train. Friends said illness which prevented his return to active duty in World War II was a blow he felt deeply. He became increasingly active in Naval Reserve activities here during the war and worked nights, after school, in a war plant. At the outbreak of World War 1, he enlisted here and served as an enlisted man in the Navy, working his way up to chief RAI PH N.

Police reported John Kress, 9, of 145 Weldon and another boy identified only as Michael Ripton, 15, were picnicking on the bank of Red Creek near the Barge Canal about 5 last night when five older boys came upon them, ripped their clothes, took their lunch away from and then stole their bicycles.

Young Kress, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Augustus J.

Tallamy, on an inspection tour of the State Thru-way from Buffalo to New York City, yesterday said the stretch of super-road in the Rochester area should be completed by late this year. The entire Thruway will be completed by late 1954, he added, barring further shortages of steel needed for defense projects. Motorists in the Rochester area, I however, will have to detour around the Genesee River near Scottsvillc because the bridge to be erected there is being delayed by a shortage of steel. It will not be completed until next Spring. The state superintendent and state officials in a 15-car motorcade inspected the progress of the.

Thruway where it cuts into Routes 15 and 15-A in the town of Henrietta. Tallamy, who also is chairman of the Thruway Authority, ex-, pressed his conviction that the Thruway would be "the best super-highway in the world." The speed limit, he said, will be 60 miles an hour. i More than 50 miles of Thruway in the Rochester area have been i TRUST MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT MEMBER FEDERAL AIN'T FAIR" (fJENESEE xH REATEST ROOTER U3 UYS COMFORT IS THE WORD IN SHOES Air White DevJcii'Of ALL WHITE LINEN SPECIAL 255 PAIR 4-412 Bs Reg. $11. 1 2.95 $7.89 White Calf $7.95 USE OUR CONVENIENT CHARGE PLAN White Kid $11-95 Hlqh Wedge in Blue Brown utinut GENESEE B00TERY Fitted By Experts Always Your Family Shoe Store 178 Genesee St.

At least that's the contention of Dr. William Greenspon of Blue-! field, W.

who yesterday addressed a session of the American Optometric Association's 56th annual congress here. "Typical of all professions and i scientific occupations, optometry is in need of more recruits than are being provided," Dr. Greenspon said. "The number of optometry graduates in the recent years ahead will scarcely balance deaths and retirements." He urged, therefore, that more women enter schools of optometry to offset the anticipated shortage, 1 caused mainly by the armed i services manpower requirements, Dr. Greenspon, chairman of the AOA's council on optometric education, spoke before some 700 delegates to the convention at an afternoon session in the Hotel Seneca.

At a meeting of the American Optometric Foundation, the AOA's research organization, Dr. William C. Ezell of Spartanbcr, S. was elected president of the foundation. Others elected were: Vice presidents, Dr.

Roy E. Denny of Indianapolis and Dr. Roger O. Linquist of Minneapolis, secretary. Dr.

Youngmann of the Rochester office; Norman W. Krapf, chief design engineer for the Thruway in this area, and other representitives of the State Engineer's Office here. Others accompanying Tallamy included David J. Martin of New York City, vice chairman of the Thruway Authority, and Harold Keller of Albany, Commissioner of the State Department of Commerce. Keller said the Thruway "will have an important effect on commerce and industry in the state because the distribution of goods is what counts." After inspecting the intersec-; tion of the Thruway at Route i 15-A, where water pipes from i Hemlock Lake into the city had i to be re-located to make way for a bridge approach, Tallamy andj his party left for Geneva.

They' expect to complete their inspection trip tomorrow. Delegates Told Spartanberg, S. and treasurer, Dr. A. O.

Earlier in the day, Mrs. Lois' Bing of Cleveland, chairman ofj the AOA's committee on visual problems in schools, said her committee is urging thorough! testing of a schoolage child's visual skill before trying to teach him to read.

He was once a gardner and private policeman for George Eastman. Born in Southern Ireland, Mr. Powers came to New York in 1909. A friend who preceded him had promised him a job on the New York police force.

But, as he told a friend here later, he found the job specificationsdictated by the Tammany Hall bosses involved dealings in which he preferred not to participate. He came to Rochester in 191U and attracted the attention of Mr. Eastman, who gave him a job tending the gardens and patrolling his East Avenue estate.
