Our 3-Pay 90-Day Charge isms Condemned by 60 in Brighton By JACK WILLIAMS About 60 homeowners in the neighborhood of Brighton's Varinna Drive where a Negro physicist charges he was prevented from buying a house because of his race have signed pledges that they would "welcome any family of good character." regardless of race, creed, or color. The pledges are contained in the records of the Women's Human Relations Council, which yesterday sent letters reporting them to Mayor Peter Barry and Board of Supervisors Chairman Norman H. Selke. Mrs. Donald R.

Morey, chairman of the council, said the pledge-signers live in the triangular area roughtly bounded by Monroe Avenue, Winton Road and Highland Avenue. The home in question lies within the triangle, a few doors from Oakdale Drive and about a half mile from Brighton's Twelve Corners. Mrs. Morey said she had no estimate of the total number of homeowners within the triangle. An estimate compiled from Polk's Suburban Directory shows about 350.

Triggered Study Mrs. Morey said the council's study started after Mr. and Mrs. Peter M. Tolliver of 81 Arch St.

filed suit against two Varinna Drive homeowners, claiming the two had conspired to prevent them from buying a home at 42 Varinna Dr. The two homeowners, Arthur W. Schwartz of 30 Varinna and Joseph J. Morton of 35 Varinna, were reported studying the complaint yesterday. They have 20 days to answer it.

Mrs. Morey said the Women's Human Relations Council includes representatives from about 45 women's organizations, including the Council of Church Women, the League of Women Voters, the Ameri can Assn. of University Women, sisterhoods of several synagogues and several Parent-Teacher Associations. The pledges in the council's files were made within the past three years. Community-Wide List Mrs.

Morey said they were obtained as part of a drive aimed at determining what parts of Greater Rochester would be agreeable to receiving Negro families as neigh bors. In accordance with the un derstandings under which the pledges were obtained, names of the signers are not to be made public. Mrs. Morey said the coun cil reviewed its files in order to attempt to demonstrate that the purported actions of Morton and Schwartz "don't represent the feelings of the whole community." According to the complaint filed by the Tollivers, Morton and Schwartz solicited funds from neighbors in order to put a down payment on the house at 42 Varinna, owned by Mrs. Lois Labatt-Simon.

The Tollivers have asked the State Supreme Court to restrain Morton and Schwartz from re-selling the house. As an alternative, they asked damages of $10,000. Service Restored At Wreck Scene Operations are back to normal today on two main tracks of the New York Central Railroad that were ripped up by a freight train derailment near Fairport Saturday night. A railroad spokesman said yesterday that the maintenance department had completed its checking, that trains were on schedule and that full speed limits had been restored. The derailment of 12 cars of a 97-car freight caused 13 passenger and 15 fast freight trains to be rerouted over the West Shore tracks to Chili and back to the main line.

Downtown Stores To Open Saturday Downtown Rochester stores will open this Saturday as they return to regular fall schedules, according to the Retail Merchants Council of the Chamber of Commerce. Many stores had closed Saturdays during the summer. Saturday hours will be from 9:30. a.m. to 5:30 p.m., in most cases.

Stores will continue to be open Tuesday and Thursday favoring a new courts site at a cost they estimate as 12 million dollars. Democrats are on record favoring the enlarging and remodeling of the present Courthouse at a cost they estimate as 2M million dollars. The Democratic chieftain said that last winter, in view of the minority's increased strength in the Council and the County Board of Supervisors, he suggested that he and Gordon A. Howe, county Republican chairman, have a summit meeting on the problems "affecting the welfare of our community." "At that time, I was ridi culed by Republican leaders Lvertime I have attempted: ft NEW for FAIL By Fashion Hill Early Decision Suggested On County College Plans Infirm or not, you certainly can lift some of these grocery packages from the car." "I can't, I tell you," I insisted. "But why can't you?" "I cut my foot off!" Her voice was like the cry of a muezzin from some high minaret.

"Oh-o-o," she cried. "So it's BLOOD that's all over this new hall rug? And on the stair carpet! Why, you've trailed it all over the place. Blood! What in the world. But she bounded up the stairs, came into the room where I lay, saw my pinched green face a gangrenous sort of green induced, probably, by loss of blood, and I knew at once that compassion had wrung her heart, and that someone else would carry in the groceries from the car, "But you are hurt! What have you done? How'd it happen?" "I told you," I said weakly. "I cut my foot off." "Oh, not off," she said.

"You've got your foot. But what were you doing?" This was back in late June. I had been complaining, for months, that I was tired of pioneer living, that I had had nothing but trouble, hardship and expense from it, since the first big snow of winter, and that if she'd only pack her stuff, and get rid of the furniture, it would be nice, in our declining years, to live in a hotel, where there'd be hot and cold running water, without first sending for Will Farnung, the South Avenue plumber; where we wouldn't need a sump pump in the cellar, or six men to come and dig up half an acre of lawn to find out what was wrong with the septic tank. Why, I said, if we moved into a hotel, we'd never have to worry about painting the place. And then, in some hotels, they have smorgasbord on Thursdays.

She shrugged off my suggestions as though they were foolish. And then came this day in late June when she gave me, before she went to town, my instructions. I was to cut "at least part of the lawn and squirt smelly stuff all over the aplvds on the rose bushes. At horrendous cost we bought, a year ago last summer, one of those sit-down-and-ride-'em lawn mowers, a thing you'd never need in a downtown hotel. I had seen pictures of them in the ads.

Usually, the mower was being ridden by a toothy dame in shorts, laughing as if her old Aunt Min had died and left her a legacy, while bright-eyed children capered about, and the husband and father, an outdoor type, in shorts and sweater by Abercrombie Fitch, smiled toothily at the lady on the machine, and waved to her as though she were passing in a parade. The mower, the ad implied, was a device designed for family togetherness. A fun thing! Huh! "You won't have to push this one around," the lady said when we got it. "It'll be fun." I told her she could ride it for fun but if I got on It, I'd do it as a chore, and grimly. I reminded her that the thing didn't have a spring, that the seat was made of metal and that one's teeth could be loosened, riding it over rough ground.

"Oh bosh!" she said. "You're too finicky. I'll show you how much fun it is to ride it," and she got on, pulled the rord, and off she went. I screamed at her that she'd better lake the hills in second, for the instruction book was implicit about this, but she went on heedlessly, gay as a circus chariot rider. "By jove," I said to myself, admiringly.

"She's a wonder. She can do anything. Bake a cake, or, do the double dislocation on the Roman rings. I'd ought to buy her a trampolin to jump on for her birthday." Then she started up a little hill, and the thing leaped up and caracoled, like a horse in a rodeo, and there was Mama, in her nice white skirt, sitting down on the grass, and the thing going on and on and me chasing it until it came to a stop against a big elm tree, the blade still grinding, till I shut off the motor. And after that she said mowing was a man's job, and, anyway, she didn't have time for it.

SO, LAST SUMMER, when I couldn't get anyone to do it for me, I cut the grass myself. And this year, in late June, I started to do it again. I hated the idea. But the lady badgered me into it, telling me that the lawn looked awful, and giving mc the second job of squirting insecticide on the rose bush aphids. I got the motor started, with much strain to my back and arms, for I am not a muscle monument, and the starting cord is taut.

I got it started and was approaching the hill where Mama had previously fallen off, and, with a niggling caution, got off and walked beside the thing. I was leading the mower with one hand when, at a little uneven place in the lawn, it leaped at me, the blade cut through my shoe, and put a bloody incision across my instep that required six stitches to close. And it was after this surgery that Mama came upstairs to see me, wondering why I had' bloodied the hall rug and the carpet on the stairs. She was deeply sympathetic now. She understood how I had suffered.

I thought now was a good time to plead my cause. "We had a snake in the living room this spring," I pleaded. "Water in the cellar, roots in the leach beds, there's been trouble with the plumbing. Three days last winter we didn't have heat, lights, or a place to cook. Oh, Mama, can't we move into a hotel and live like civilized' people?" But the phone rang and she leaped to answer it.

Someone was inquiring about my accident. "Oh, he's all right now. He's out of pain," I heard her say. "No, he didn't lose his foot. He just cut it a little.

He's so terribly maladroit with mechanical things. He was WALKING a lawn mower that he should have ridden." That was two months ago. My foot has healed. But Mama hasn't asked me to cut the lawn or squirt the aphids on the rose bushes. Maybe she has seen the light and that one day we'll give up this pioneer living and move into town and just ring for room service.

They said a reconnaissance plane involved in a Civil Defense exercise was sighted as it dipped behind trees, inspiring the report.

Indentities Sought DeWain F. Feller, director of county Veterans Service Agency, is seeking to establish the identity of seven Civil War veterans, believed buried in the Rapids Cemetery on Congress Avenue.

He said yesterday he has requested information regarding the Civil War dead from the cemetery's association, Should their identity be established, Feller said he! would apply to the U.S. Quartermaster General's office for new granite markers for the graves.

Rex Lee White, 40, of West-field, the driver, suffered only cuts and bruises and didn't require hospitalization White told police an oncom ing car without lights forced him off the road. Monroe County should make its decision on a community college "as early as possible, Dr. Lawrence L. Jarvie, executive dean for community colleges in the State University of New York, said yesterday. State approval of a decision among the various proposals including taking over Rochester Institute of Technology for a community college could be given in three or four months, Jarvie said.

The former RIT curriculum director will meet a week from today with the county's community college subcommittee and others in Rochester.
