Forest Lawn Hollywood Hllh over the Boys Town training program this month, said the situation has improved. The staff members he has worked with "are very positive. I don't see a lot of resistance." He conceded that Boys Town has more staff at its own facilities. Leaders of Service Employees International Union Local 535 said removal of the five veteran workers was particularly damaging at a time of heavy crowding. One MacLaren teenager interviewed this month said four staff members typically handle about 30 boys in his unit.

"They got no control because if there is one fight, usually there will be another fight, and they can't stop it" said the boy, as his attorney stood by. "Sometimes on weekends there is nothing to do and the kids just go crazy." Watkins, the facility director, insisted that union members are wrong about understaffing and said the facility meets its minimum work force requirements, which are set by county policy. When the population surges, part-time help is brought in. Peter Digre, director of the county Department of Children and Family Services, said that a few employees disgruntled over the transfers are drumming up the bad feelings. "The vast majority of staff out there is very committed to this process of change.

We do have a minority culture of backlash and entrenchment," said Digre. "These changes are a and nothing is going to get in the way of that." Continued from A13 teenagers constantly active with schoolwork, projects and athletics. It includes a point system in which they earn privileges such as extra time outdoors and field trips. "These kids are supposed to carry around these cards to track their performance," said one veteran social worker, who opposes the concept "You might have only two or three staff to deal with 34 or 35 kids and you don't have the time to fill out cards and give them the consequences." But that veteran counselor and four others were transferred out of MacLaren earlier this month be- -cause supervisors said they were frequently accused of verbal or physical abuse and resisted the Boys Town regimen. In a letter last month to Curry, the children's commission member, Boys Town administrator Roger Peterson said: "I don't think there is a possibility that staff are mistreating kids I think it's a reality.

Just how often and how serious are the real questions." "My staff have witnessed MacLaren staff swearing and yelling at kids, restraining kids and the inappropriate handling (grabbing) of kids. This occurs when staff are probably on their best behavior because we are there. Imagine what may take place in our absence, or, worse, at night." Peterson also wrote that cooperation in implementing the Boys Town program was nothing more than "lip service." Peterson did not return phone calls. But Sylvester Wilson, who took Digre said his department is taking emergency steps in an effort to reduce the MacLaren population to about 170 by early in the new year. Extra efforts are being made to place new arrivals from broken homes in group homes.

And an increased rate of $1,000 a month, about triple the standard, will be paid to foster families that can take children with special medical needs, Digre said. This Christmas season, volunteer groups such as United Friends of the Children are taking great pains to make the institution homey and to bring a measure of peace to the overcrowded facility. Some say that because the group has done such a good job in the past, troubled, "system-savvy" kids have run away from their foster homes to be at MacLaren for the annual flurry of celebrities and gifts. But on one recent day, the denizens of the county children's home of last resort were mostly hoping they would be released from MacLaren to be with friends or relatives for Christmas. One freckle-faced teenager, sleepy-eyed with medication, said she would make do if she remained at Mac.

The girl had fashioned a halo from silver ribbon decorated with stars a holiday accessory she said helped transport her to another place. "I believe we are all capable of being angels, in our own special, way," she said hopefully, looking past her visitors. "I believe that all of us will be angels automatically, when we go to heaven."

Hillside Mortuary Funeral Directors oiasftanq-WHim mortuary Plan to Move Confederate Flag Backed From Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C.-Black state lawmakers Monday backed the governor's plan to take the Confederate battle flag off the State-house dome and move it to a monument nearby. The 35-member black caucus was divided as late as last week over whether to go along with the plan, which Gov.

David Beasley offered in hopes of resolving the bitter dispute. "We recognize that not everybody is going to be satisfied in terms of this compromise, but it is a step forward," said state Rep. John Scott, a Columbia Democrat and the caucus chairman. "It's a beginning." The Legislature has yet to take up the proposal. The Confederate flag has flown from the Statehouse dome since 1962.

Critics say it is racially divisive and a symbol of slavery; supporters say it honors Civil War dead and is part of the state's heritage. Beasley, a Republican, gathered bipartisan support for the plan to move the flag to an eye-level monument on the Statehouse grounds. In a statement of support, the caucus said the Legislature also needs to debate the future of Confederate flags inside the House and Senate chambers.

Neeb Brea Mortuary directors Glendale Long Beach Cypress Covina Hills Hollywood Hills Sinai Mortuary sister. After Margret studied art at the Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany, and the Academy of Art in Dus-seldorf, Germany, she went to Rio de Janeiro where she began working as a photographer. Again she encountered Hans Rey and they married in 1935.

They settled in Paris where he drew newspaper cartoons and she wrote advertising copy, in particular some singing commercials for margarine. "It made me immune to all commercials for life," she told The Times. A French publisher was so taken with Hans' animal cartoons that he suggested they do a children's book. The first was "Raphael et les Neuf Singes," or "Raphael and the Nine Monkeys." One of the monkeys, Zozo, grew up to become George. "We had never dreamed of children's books," Margret Rey said.

"But we needed money." The Reys fled Paris on bicycles just hours before Hitler's troops marched into the city. Their pockets were stuffed with monkey manuscripts and other writings. They made their way from Spain to Portugal and to New York, where George was quickly snapped up by Houghton Mifflin publishers. The first Curious George book was published in 1941 and the seventh 35 years later. The little monkey happily did the things children may wish they could do wreak havoc and be rescued or save the day and be praised.

Barely 5 feet tall and red-haired, Rey said she occasionally served as her artist husband's human model for their impish little monkey. She would scrunch up her face, move her limbs about or even leap from one piece of furniture to another. "My husband always called me curious," she said. "But then I think most people are." The Reys had lived in Cambridge since 1963. By MYRNA OLIVER TIMES STAFF WRITER Margret E.

Rey, the writing half of the team that created "Curious George," the impish monkey hero of seven classic children's books, has died. She was 90. Rey, who had continued to preside over worldwide merchandising of monkey gear, died Saturday in her home in Cambridge, Mass. She had suffered a heart attack about three weeks ago. Hans Augusto "H.A." Rey, her husband and the artist who drew the expressive face and antic body of little George, died in 1977.

Two of Margret Rey's books about other animal heroes, "Spotty" and "Pretzel," are scheduled for re-release in 1997. The seven Curious George books written and drawn by the Reys have sold more than 12 million copies in English and an additional 8 million copies in a dozen other languages. An anthology, released last year and titled "The Complete Adventures of Curious George," is now in its second printing. The Reys had no children and said they never studied juvenile readers. "We wrote for ourselves," Margret Rey told The Times last May.

"Then, by pleasant coincidence, the children liked what we liked. This business of research is nonsense." The carefully monitored merchandising of Curious George books, puzzles, filmstrips, stuffed animals, children's clothing, wrist-watches and lunch boxes was lucrative. Rey celebrated her 90th birthday in May by donating $1 million each to the Boston Public Library and to Boston's Beth Israel Hospital Center for Alternative Medicine for Research. Rey grew up in Germany. She met her future husband in Hamburg when she was 10 and slid down a banister right into him.
