"It has ignored the needs of built' 1-270 it Brown RA, Brown Campus, Hutbrood, M.

up areas and favored the sparsely inhabited parts ot the county." The $2,000,000 linear park proposal would provide for acquisition of about 15 miles of creek banks, vest-pocket parKs; bicycling, hiking or riding trails and other facilities could be developed along the banks. Gravois, Deer, Maline and Coldwater Creeks would be suitable for linear parks, Lark said. Wayne C. Kennedy, county parks and recreation director, said linear parks would eliminate the need to channel the creeks with expensive construction be cause they preserve the banks in their To All. Spanish pavilion natural state.

Although he has assisted in preparation of the proposal, Kennedy has not taken a position on it. "I don't know whether the climate among voters is right for a bond issue," he said. Among the projects drawn from the old proposal and included in the new are: Lake of the for buying 110 acres off Telegraph Road between Yaeger and Baumgartner Roads. Coldwater Creek $900,000 for acquisi By E.S. EVANS Of the Post-Dispatch Staff St.

Louis County would get neighborhood recreation centers and parks along major creeks under a bond issue proposed by an alliance of environmental groups. Under the proposal, establishment of small neighborhood centers would change the county's long-standing policy of developing only larger recreational sites at a few locations. Parkland along creeks would be easier to reach for more county residents than the current setup, the proponents say. The $14,650,000 proposal has been prepared by the Coalition for the Environment, Open Space Council and Sierra Club. Among the projects are seven from the $29,910,000 county park bond issue that failed in October 1975.

Proponents are trying to sell the idea to municipal and county officials. The environmentalists hope it will be submitted in a bond issue package along with road improvements and police communications to county voters next year, said John D. Lark of the Open Space Council, a spokesman for the alliance. The proposal is to be presented Thursday to the County Municipal League. The league, an organization of mayors and local officials, has been drafting the road and police proposals.

Last week the league's executive committee decided to pass the parks proposal on to league members without recommendation. Democratic members of the County Council have endorsed the proposal. County Supervisor Gene McNary said he would consider it. The McNary Administration is to establish this week how much of a bond issue could be floated without increasing property taxes. The no-tax-boost limit has been estimated at $60,000,000 to $80,000,000 or more.

But exactly where it falls may determine whether there is room for the parks plan. The road and police proposals total $65,600,000. In its present form, the parks proposal would provide for development of two neighborhood recreation centers. One is tion and development of 90 to 100 acres adjoining Fort Bellefontaine Park in the north County. Faust Park $250,000 for restoration of MAP SHOWING approximate locations of county parks and recreation centers proposed by environmental groups.

The projects would be financed through a $14,600,000 bond issue. A park and recreation center (marked A-D) would be at the old St. Vincent's Hospital site. Other projects would be Lake of the Woods Park (B); Coldwater Creek Park (C); two neighborhood centers (D); restoration of the Gov. Bates Home (E); Adie Road Park on the old Greenspan Stables site (F); and land along the lower Meramec River, (G).

A park along Deer Creek also might be included. In recognition of donations which helped make possible the move of the Spanish International Pavilion from the New York World's Fair to St. Louis, Breckcnridge Hotels Corporation is pleased to announce the following offer. Upon presentation of cancelled checks or other positive proof of donation, the company will issue vouchers in the amount of the donation spendable as cash for up to 25 of the cost of food and beverage purchases or room rentals (subject to the availability of accommodations) from Breckenridge Hotels Corporation at the Pavilion Each voucher will have a value of $1.00. Vouchers are valid through December 31, 1978.

Proof of donation may be presented at the hotel between 1 1 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday during the month of November, 1976. If you have any questions, please call 421-1450 during the above-mentioned hours. the historic Gov.

Bates Home on the park grounds. Adie Road $1,500,000 for acquisition and minimal development of 80 to 100 acres of the old Greenspan Stables in the northwest County. Lower Meramec River $2,000,000 for purchase of available land or easements along the banks. The Municipal League is not expected to take a position on the proposal until next month. It failed to endorse the 1975 parks proposition by one vote.

The Coalition for the Environment took no position on the earlier proposal, although the Open Space Council and Sierra Club endorsed-it. Half the voters supported the 1975 measure, but a two-thirds majority is required for approval of bond issues. Lark says the centers could have picnic facilities, playgrounds, athletic fields and even swimming pools. They would be densely populated areas. Since a recreation study in 1963, the county's policy has been to concentrate on development of parks of 100 acres or larger.

Municipalities have been expect to be in Gravois Creek Park, a 117-acre park in south county. The other would be in a new county park to be acquired and partly developed with funds from the bond issue. The site would be the old St. Vincent's Hospital grounds, 140 acres in the north central county.

The Cardinals had little trouble making the Rams think they had it made. In the first half, Hart threw a dozen panic passes. Larry Stallings gave a great performance of a linebacker grabbing at thin air. Gary Hammond was the Big Red's only answer to Cullen (90-yard return) Bryant. And the Cardinals came out and tricked the Rams into believing that this was the same team that had lost to LA in last season's playoffs, 35-23.

As usual, the Big Red defense had everybody fooled until its last-minute CONDUCTED BY FROM PAGE ONE his two-yard losses around right end, zipped by the startled punt-coverage team for 29 yards to the LA 48-yard line. By now, the suspense was nearly gone. There were just about 90 seconds left and the Cardinals had only to move into field-goal position against the meanest defense in the National Football Conference. Alex Karras once said that the LA defensemen are so mean they go out after games and beat one another up. Evidently, Hart was in no mood to make the ending interesting.

As the final insult to the partisan crowd, he showed the fans that his proximity to Hollywood was not going to cause him to schlock up his performance. In other situations, in other towns, he might have thrown a few incompletions or near interceptions to bring up fourth-and-35. But he merely moved the Cardinals smartly down the field. There were 33 seconds left, and Hart decided to spice up the ending by looking as though he wasn't going to call time out. But he stopped the clock wilh seven seconds to go and let Jim Bakken walk on the field.

A week ago in Philadelphia, the Big Red field goal team had managed to botch three attempts. In show business, this is called setting up the audience.

In last year's game, the defense was as easy to run through as the LA smog. Yesterday, it impersonated an also-ran's defense so well that Haden must have thought he was a veteran instead of a rookie.

On his easy five-yard touchdown scamper that gave the Rams a 28-20 lead, three of the Big Red's four defensive linemen were watching' his act from the ground. Until their 30-28 victory, the Don Coryell Cardinals had never won a game against a so-called super team outside their own division. But really. Was anybody worried State and St. Louis County officials were meeting today to decide what to do about a growing problem in south St.

Louis County wild canines that have grown increasingly aggressive in their search for food. The animals have recently begun attacking household pets in the Affton area. County Police Capt: Lloyd Armfield said today that "a couple more home dogs were chewed up over the weekend" on Antril Drive. Two weeks ago, two family pets were killed in the same area. Maj.

Edwin Wagner of the County Police was meeting today with officials from the Humane Society of Missouri, the County Rabies Control Unit and the State Department of Conservation to devise a strategy for handling the problem. "The best thing would be to try to resort to some humane way of capture," Wagner said. "But if that's not possible as a last resort we will have to destroy them." One problem is that officials aren't even sure what breed of canine they are dealing with. Dan Messerla, the agent with the Conservation Department responsible for St. Louis County, said he believes the animals are wild dogs, not coyotes, as had been suspected.

"The normal behavior traits of coyotes are that they are afriad of men, they usually don't attack dogs and they don't run in packs, Messerla said. "Dogs, on the other hand do run, in packs, they are prone to bite other dogs and they are not afraid of men." The problem area is bounded generally by Tesson Ferry Road, Green Park Road, Gravois Road and Interstate Highway 55. It has been selected as the site for Gravois Creek Park. Vaccine WHILE THEY LAST!

The original target groups of the Government's swine flu program were adults 18 and over and the high-risk groups. Although more than 115,000,000 doses of monovalent and bivalent vaccine had been approved for distribution, less than 20,000,000 persons had been inoculated through last Friday. That low ratio results from various factors, including serious delays in production last summer because of concern by manufacturers over liability. Congress then passed a special bill, placing liability for the swine flu program with the Government. Because of the delays, community-wide immunization clinics in many large cities have not been held.

St. Louis has scheduled its city-wide mass immunization clinic for Nov. 21.
