Herbert Eisenhart willbe given to the University of Rochester and used by its Eastman School of Music as a residence and meeting place.

Mr. Eisenhart, who died this year, stipulated in his will that the residence, together with the income from a $250,000 fund for its maintenance and upkeep, was to be used as the family determined. The house, located at the northwest corner of East Avenue and East Boulevard will be used initially as a residence for the director of the University's Eastman School of Music. Hutchison House at 930 East Avenue is the current home of the Eastman School director. It will be made available by the University to the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House, in accordance with the wishes of the late Charles Hutchison and his wife, Marjorie Hutchison.

Robert Freeman, director of the Eastman School said, "The Eisenhart House will be an excellent facility for small gatherings of faculty and students, special recitals and other school events The organ in the music room will be a welcome addition to our limited inventory of organs." Mr. Eisenhart was a University of Rochester trustee for nearly 50 years, and from 1933 until his death he was a member of the board of managers of the Eastman School of Music. Home of late M. Herbert Eisenhart, 1316 East Ave. Cadets to return as champs member of the Cadet Board of Directors, said they prac tice under paid instructors "two nights a week in the winter and at least three nights a week in the summer which is when they also tour for about 17 days and per- form nearly every first national title and a prize of $1,200.

The Cadets left Rochester Friday, Aug. 1, for a competition in Toledo, Ohio, then went on to take second place in a Butler, Pa. competition and arrived in Marion last Wednesday. They'll leave again on Tuesday for the Drum Corps International competition in Philadelphia. Long hours of practice have gone into the making of a champion drum and bugle corps.

Bill Buckley, a The Cadets of Greece Junior Drum and Bugle Corps will be welcomed home tonight by proud parents and instructors and the volunteers who raise money and organize their tours and competitions. The 120 young people, aged 13 to 21, are returning from Marion, Ohio, where they won the National Class 'A' Championship Friday night. They competed against 44 drum and bugle corps from all over the country. The Cadets, organized about 6 years ago, won their weekend. "Every year they raise and spend about $30,000 for uniforms, horns, instruction and transportation," said Buckley.

The money has been raised by dues, bingo games, performances and sponsors, he said. rim. i is if. Heart of hamlet is for sale "I know we need houses, but we also need open land Once it's gone you can't replace good land." That's when he decided to buy the General Store from Earl Marble who had run it for 25 years. "I wanted to get into my own busi ness," Barden said.

"And some of it I've liked, but 1 crave physical work, that's what I do best and there's not much --'y I here." Barden said he's especially tired of the store's paperwork, what he calls the "retail detail." Most days he is at the store 12 hours. "I'd like to get out in the sunshine more," Barden said. Sometimes he closes the (. kl 4 av y( the store with his wife and children. The surrounding area, once virtually all agricultural, is becoming increasingly popular for recreation, with city residents buying and building vacation homes.

Barden realizes that development of the area would help business, but he still doesn't want a lot of people moving into the valley. "I like quiet and open land, and that's disappearing," he said. "Maybe you can't stop development and you can't blame people for wanting to move into the country, but you don't have to be in favor of it." One of the problems, he said, is that some city residents want to bring city conveniences with them, "and that can ruin the country." Four years ago, Barden quit his job as a lineman for Rochester Gas Electric Corp. He had been with the company 11 years. "I don't mean to knock them," he said, "but we didn't always see ye-to-eye.

In a big company you've got to play politics. You have to be a yes-man to move up. "I don't like to say yes when I mean no" Then, for about a year, he sold real estate in the Bristol Valley. "Some of that I liked," he said, "but I couldn't stand seeing so much good farming land cut up for houses. From Page IB regulars, who help themselves to coffee and slices off a wheel of cheese.

"After all, where else could you get pelt stretchers What's a pelt stretcher? Well if you want to stretch a coonskin, you've got to have a pelt stretcher." The white frame store is off Route 64, about 30 miles southeast of Rochester, in the Bristol Valley of Ontario County. An old church pew is on the front porch. The General Store is where 80-year-old Earl Fletcher comes in and tells of the days when Bristol Center had two stores. "Until that fire Election night," he said, "1914." It's where the sign above the homemade soap says: "Right fine for grimy children and greasy hand professions (except politicians)." And it's whre customers gather around the wood-burning stove in winter or near the open door in summer, talking politics. The big issues, it seems, winter or summer, are taxes and roads.

In a day of supermarkets and chain stores, Bristol Center's General Store is one of a vanishing breed. And so perhaps, in a similar way, is its owner. Tom Barden looks a little too rugged, too muscular to be behind a cash register. His main interest, in fact, is raising Arabian horses. He was born in nearby East Bloom-field, and is a soft-spoken, old-fashioned individualist.

He lives in a house next to store unannounced. "I know it's not good for business, but some days you just have to get out." Barden said he won't close the store permanently unless he's financially A 1 A i forced to and he doubted that. He's I lit i it' 5 Hi i li i "i all' it, undecided what he would try next. "Maybe logging," he said, with a smile. In the meantime, he waits for a buyer, tending the store, armed with a fly-swatter.

He watches the customers come and linger and then go. "The trouble with this place," Roger Bender said yesterday, "is that your wife sends you up for something and you end up staying two or three hours. "Sometimes the wives call up, 'Is Tony there? Send him a till. Ti 1 i i (if 4 A Clouding up, high in low 80s Weather Watch Of fom NAIIONAl W4r ilUVICt lU NOAA. Dept Connrcf A iy i i i a i Jm.
