Conceived in the program is a network of such hostels throughout the state for mentally retarded adults capable of working and living in the community with little supervision. New York City and Nassau County are the other two sites chosen to get the program Loop the Loop 1 under way. facilities can be leased, bought or constructed. He credited the associated services available here for this purpose as one of the factors weighing heavily in the selection of Monroe County as one of the first three sites. The hostels will be community Dr.

Harold C. Miles, director of the Monroe County Mental Health Department, termed the project here as great step forward in providing general services" to this group of people. Miles said there is no comparable program or facilities here at the present. He said it would be operational as soon as Air view looking north shows Sea Breeze Expressway, right, and connections with Keeler Street Expressway.

Mi Wil i Ml' 1 1 Town of Gates Outlaws Hunting Chairmen Face Off At ABC residences broken up into apartments where the mentally retarded adults can live under the supervision of house parents. The hostel here is expected to accommodate between 30 to 50 persons, while Nassau will serve about 30 and New York City 40.

The program here will be operated by the Monroe County chapter of the State Association for Retarded Children and be funded by the state initially. Miles said the program will help those retarded adults whose families have either died or become incapable of providing the necessary care at home. "When this occurs now, many of these individuals would be put in an institution and remain there for the rest of their lives. Often times there is no reason for this when these people are capable of living and working in the community," Miles said. These persons may also gain more meaning out of life by living in relative independence of their parents, he continued.

"It is natural for adults to move out of their homes as they come of age." In announcing selection of the first three counties, Gov. Rockefeller said the program "opens a new era of greater independence, self-respect and dignity for many retarded adults." called themselves archers, said they were present to see if the amendment would include their sport. They were told it didn't. Attorney Telesca displayed a deer slug, flattened by impact, which had apparently been fired through the window of a Spenc-erport Road resident in October. "This slug was taken from a door casing where a woman had been cleaning just moments before," he said.

Chief Stauber said slugs had been fired into houses and cars "all year long; not just the hunting season." "It's just not feasible to have hunting," he said. The town attorney told one person the ordinance would also include the firing of BB guns. By DAVE CONCANNOX The Gates Town Board unanimously outlawed hunting in their town last night. There was no opposition by either townspeople or board members to the amendment. The amended ordinance, with two minor exceptions, had been demanded by many town residents who complained hunting almost any place in Gates has to be done in populated or semi-populated areas.

Town Attorney Michael A. Telesca, who drafted the amended ordinance, said it was "aimed at the so-called intruders in this town." Three town residents spoke in favor of the amendment and none spoke against it. Police Chief William Stauber, who ini An addition to the ordinance was a clause providing for target shooting, but only on ranges approved by the Gates Police Department or built to its specifications. "The ones who were responsible for the shooting in our town were mostly city people who are too lazy to go far enough back in the woods," Councilman Richard P. Van Auker said.

"The underlying sentiment here," Atty. Telesca said, "is simply that the town has grown to such an extent that people come before hunting." The three residents all commented on situations in which they had been shot at or disturbed by the sounds of hunters firing near their homes. One group of six men, who tiated movement for the change, and one of his officers also spoke in favor of the change. A total of 12 people at-tened the hearing. The ordinance bans the discharge of firing of "any gun, revolver, pistol, or other firearm or any air gun, spring gun, or other instrument or weapon in which the propelling force is a spring or air, within the town of Gates." The amendment deleted "within 1000 feet of any building or structure of any kind" from the original ordinance.

One exception is destruction of rodents on farms by the resident farmers. Another is the discharge of firearms by police officers in performance of their duty. A joint student-faculty committee at the University of Rochester will start work today on unraveling a some of the issues behind last week's three-day stur dent strike. J- Although the university will recess for Christmas after last class today, a spokesman for the group said the committee plans to work through the holiday period to present a three-point statement to the ad--, ministration Jan. 12.

Specifically, the committee has the task of: Proposing fair procedures and organizations to govern the treatment of students. Drawing up an explicit statement of the rights and privileges of students. Recommending creation of another committee, composed of trustees, administration, faculty and sta-C dent members, to serve as an appeal board on disci-" plinary decisions. Greece Hospital Land Deeded Land for a new $10 million hospital in Greece has -been deeded to Park Avenue Hospital, it was re-i ported yesterday. The statement was made as hospital officials, toured the site of the future Park Ridge Hospital on Long Pond Road, between Ridgeway Avenue and Straub Road, and watched the installation of three large signs pinpointing the location of the new medical complex.

Ray Tobin, president of the Greece Chamber of Commerce, said all but $23,000 of the purchase pricer of the land has been raised and said he was "delighted that this first stage has been brought to completion." The new site contains 156 acres and is valued at more than $450,000. Money for the land was raised by business and private donations to the Northwest Hospital Committee. Plans for the Park Ridge Hospital received initial approval from the Rochester Regional Health and Hospital Council earlier this year and backers hope construction can start next year, with the hospital completed in two years' time. William R. Moran, hospital administrator, said the hospital is being designed as a complete community health center and that the initial construction will more than double the present size of the 108-bed hos-" pital in Rochester.

"Flexible design will permit future expansion and changes in medical service at a minimum cost," he said. Jeep Motor Traps Perinton Man A man yelled for 20 minutes for help yesterday after a motor had pinned his right hand in a Jeep, the Sheriff's Office reported. The cries of Evert J. Williams, 55, of 249 Mosley Road, Perinton, finally were heard by his wife and. she telephoned authorities.

Deputies said four men working at the Fairport pumping station heard the police or fire call, rusheo! to the home and freed Williams. He suffered a puncture wound and other possible injuries and was taken to Genesee Hospital for treatment. Williams was putting the motor in his Jeep at rear of his house when it slipped, wedging his hand between the motor block and bell housing, deputies said. Three-Day Trial Finds Man Guilty of Robbery Seymour M. Kroll, 22, of 475 Rockingham St.

was convicted by a County Court jury yesterday of first degree robbery in the mugging of Henry I. Janes, 31, of LeRoy last April 1 in a parking lot in Alexander Street near Park Avenue. Steuben County Surrogate Robert J. McDowell of Cohocton, who presided at a three-day trial here, set sentencing for Feb. 9 and continued Kroll free on $1,000 bail.

Kroll, prosecuted by Asst. Dist. Atty. Robert W. Avery, did not take the stand.

With a 15-year-old boy, Kroll allegedly threatened Janes with a wooden club after he drove him at about 1:30 a.m. from Stone Street to the Alexander lot and took $63 from his wallet, a watch and an onyx ring. Although Janes could not identify Kroll, Avery produced evidence that when, on his arrest July 17, Kroll made a confession at police headquarters, he identified Janes as the victim when confronted by him. The 15-year-old boy was not called as a witness. The defense attacked the voluntariness of the alleged confession and the legality of the identification.

The jury debated 2k hours. In another part of County Court, Oliver J. Stepps, 35, who gave a Plymouth Avenue South address; was Transport More Teens Plead Guilty Authority Wake of Wild Party By DON' rOMATOWSKI Two chairmen attempted to run a meeting last night of the antipoverty agency's citizens advisory council. It ended in a dispute over which chairman had the power to call it to order. Mrs.

Katherine Terrell said she had the power and claimed support of Action for a Better Community's board of directors. Fred Gardner said he had the power and claimed support of the advisory council. Mrs. Terrell said the board ruled in such matters. Gardner and his supporters said the council is independent of the board and rules itself.

Mrs. Terrell walked out of the meeting with her supporters, Mrs. Jerry Wilson and Jorge Colon. Gardner left minutes later with a half-dozen of his supporters. The dispute over chairmanship of the council has been running about two months.

The group has been unable to conduct business during the power struggle. Gardner was elected chairman by council members who support Dr. Robert Turner for the executive directorship of the agency. But the board of directors said the election violated council by-laws. It recognizes Mrs.

Terrell. During a lull in the short session, Garnder said ABC will begin screening executive candidates Thursday. Advertising for the position, however, will continue until Monday, Jan. 15, on a national scale, he said. Gardner, in addition to being a council member, also belongs to ABC's board of directors.

He is a member of a joint committee assigned to interview applicants for the job. County Given Bay Acreage Proposed by withdrawal of charges but several others are expected to plead guilty. So far, there have been no trials in the proceedings. Vanlngen said the remaining cases probably will be disposed of by Jan. 15.

The party, which took place at 663 Adeline Drive, West Webster, was raided by police July 2. Some marijuana was found in a search of the house but drug charges against two youths have Webster peace justice Jack Vanlngen said last night 21 of the 41 young people arrested in the July raid on a teen-agers' party have pleaded guilty to charges of outraging public decency. Vanlngen made the comment after he accepted guilty pleas from two or three more of the suspects in closed proceedings last night. Of the remainder, two of the suspects probably will be freed State Sen. Thomas Laverne, R-50th District, said yesterday he will ask the State Legislature to create a regional transportation authority for the Rochester area.

Laverne's bill will parallel one he introduced at the last session. The measure passed the Senate, but it was defeated in the Assembly because of the opposition of the Democratic city administration. The earlier bill would have empowered the authority to take over the Rochester-Monroe County Port Authority and to promote and finance mass transit. Laverne described the pro Monroe County will receive 17 acres of land with 400 feet of frontage on lrondequoit Bay as a gift from Mr. and Mrs.

John Brush of Webster. The parcel of land is located on the southeast shore of the bay and was appraised at about $65,000. The county is currently negotiating for the purchase of adjoining land immediately north of the gift that would give the parks department 3,600 more feet of bay frontage if acquired. The gift must be accepted by Dec. 31, 1967, and the legislature will receive a letter from County Manager Gordon A.

Howe recommending accept-ance this morning. 27 Area Names Drawn As Lottery Winners Twenty-seven lottery tickets bought by Greater Rochester area residents were picked in drawings yesterday in Albany. The owners of the tickets cho been dropped In County Court. Police entered the home late the night of July 2 and found about 60 young people at a party which allegedly had been going on day and night for about a week. The host, David Beard, 20, of 663 Adeline Drive, was charged with second degree assault, possession of marijuana and outraging public decency.

Beard's parents had been away at the time of the party. Neighbors called police, who placed the house under surveillance for several hours then raided it. Vanlngen scheduled special court sessions to dispose of the cases of some young people who have gone on to college and could appear only during their Thanksgiving vacations. All of the young people who have pleaded guilty so far have been adjudicated youthful offenders, although authorities said some who have not yet appeared may, if convicted, be sent to correction facilities. In other action last night, Vanlngen ordered a psychiatric examination for Richard Mrzywka, 17, of 950 Maple Drive, West Webster.

The youth was arrested Dec. 9 after he allegedly was found under the influence of drugs in a Webster bowling alley. He is charged with fourth degree possession of dangerous drugs. Vanlngen said results of the mental examination will be returned to him in time for further court action Jan. 17.

4 1 6 JU posed authority as "essential" if the Rochester area is to receive the full benefit of the $2.5 billion state transportation bond issue. "The failure to pass this vital legislation last year," Laverne commented, "has placed our region a full step behind others. The Niagara Frontier, for instance, already has created such an authority and is ready to benefit from state transportation funds." Laverne said he will announce tomorrow the appointment of a citizens committee to iron out details of the bill. He said counties included in the a i 's jurisdiction would probably be Monroe, Allegany, Chemung, Genesee, Living Ontario, Orleans, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben. Tioga, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates.

The authority would be able to assume jurisdiction only upon the request of a county's legislative body, according to Laverne. Neighbors Plan Many Events For people of Chatham Gar-dons. Rochester's integrated inner-city apartments, neigh-borliness is a year-round project. A Sunday pony ride for children was this past weekend's community event, and when warm weather returns residents "will be out cooking and eating on our lawns together," said one of them.

Willard E. Hardies, district state tax director, said the 190 average compares with average sales of 45 in banks throughout the state. Banks, hotels and motels are licensed to sell tickets, but sales by banks have been cut off by federal action. State personnel did the selling at outlets during the marketing test because the outlets aren't licensed.
