Robert L. Springer, superintendent of schools, said yesterday. The number of substitute teachers available may not be enough to cover all of the absence requests, he said. Intent 'Violated' Throughout the year, the intent of the new rule on personal business, which was established primarily to allow school employes to observe religious holidays, has been flagrantly violated, Springer said.

They're worse this year than I can remember in 2ft years," Frank Rogers, a director of the White City-Windsor Beach-Summerville Association, said last night. Rogers voiced the annual plaint of beachfront residents of noise and litter generated by youth gatherings, mostly at night. As chairman of the cleanup committee, Rogers swung a rake last night along with 24 others and came up with several refuse cans full of bottles and cans. The group dug a large hole near the bank away from the beachfront and threw the litter into it. Later they plan to burn logs and anything else that will burn.

At the present rate of littering, Rogers said the group tracts from the accumulated sick leave the number of days of sick leave taken during the previous three years. A teacher who has used up all allowable sick leave will be allowed 10 days during the current year. Salary Changes The revision will make some minor salary changes in line with the average 5 per cent increase granted all school employes. Adult education teachers will be paid $4.75 an hour, instead of the present $4.45. The top rate for evening school principals will be raised from $20.75 per night to $22.

He said last night he doesn't know of any other areas in the state now being considered for a national park. He declined comment on the proposed site.

There are no national parks in New York State. However, the federal government has set aside more than 50,000 acres of virgin white pine near the New York-Pennsylvania border as the Alleghany National Forest.

Harvey said a more specific suggested location should be decided upon and more detailed estimated costs listed before the plan is submitted to the federal government for approval.
