Takes Buffalo Teachin W'town Quits i Informs Council By PHIL KING (Exclusive) WATERTOWN Mayor John H. Galvin, 35, has taken a 927.50-a-day teaching position with the Buffalo School system, The Post-Standard learned after his letter of resignation was read by city officials Monday morning. As Mayor, Galvin received $4,000 annually, plus $2,000 for a secretary. fc Jack L. Migliore, associate superintendent of schools for, personnel for the Buffalo system, said Galvin is teaching' on a day-to-day basis at Wood- lawn Junior High School in Buffalo.

He said the position is temporary, but could come permanent. Migtiore expressed surprise that he had hired the former mayor of Water town. He said Galvin receives $27.50 a day. Local officials speculated on Galvin's whereabouts after his letter of resignation was read by City Manager Ronald G. Forbes at an-emergency meeting of the city council Monday morning.

According to school officials, Galvin is residing with his parents at 145 Hollywood Buffalo. Upon arriving at work Monday, Mrs. Derwood Cook, the city a a 's secretary, found in her "in-file" box a plain, sealed envelope addressed to the city council, Forbes reported. The councilmen said Forbes suspected it was a letter of resignation after he found the mayor's office stripped of Galvin's personal effects. Forbes immediately called the four councilmen into an emergency session.

The letter then was opened. It stated-- "Gentlemen: Please accept this writing as my resignation as Mayor of the City of Watertown, New York, effective at 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 1, 1996. This decision is based on reasons which are of a personal nature." Councilman Theodore Rand, who appears as one most likely to succeed Galvin, said the news came as 'a "shock to the council." He added "no member of the council had any inkling of what was to when were summoned to the city manager's office.

No one commented on whether or not the mayor's resignation would be accepted, but Rand later said there will be "no ifs, ands or buts about it" being accepted. He added the letter will be read into the city council minutes at Monday night's meeting. No one at the special meeting would speculate on how the post would be filled or could confirm where Galvin was. Corporation Counsel Kenneth W. Brett, who was not present at the meeting, would be contacted for an opinion, each councilman said.

Brett contacted, about the matter said he would voice his opinion on the matter Tuesday. He said he had other city business confronting him. However, Rand later in the day said the board of elections has "definitely" ruled out the possibility of having the post on the ballot a week from Tuesday, because It is too late. In this non-partisan form of government, a field of candidates usually vie for the post in a primary and then top two contenders compete in the general i Galvin's term of office would have expired Dec. 31,1967.

It is presumed, the council will name a successor from the council and then appoint someone to fill the council vacancy. Both would have to stand election next fall. For many weeks now, it has been widely rumored that Galvin was seeking employment outside the city. When elected in 1963, he was the youngest Mayor in the United States at the age of 32. At that time, he was a practicing attorney and in the real estate business with Councilman Robert J.

Earner. At the beginning of the year, Galvin closed his law office and assumed the role of full- time Mayor, although the position for many years has been considered a part-time job under the city's city manager, form of government. Last year, Galvin and his wife were separated and then later obtained a Mexican divorce. They have seven children. She is a teacher in the Carthage School system and resides at 217 Sterling St.

Horthern Lights By DICK HILDRETH I PLATTSBURGH It is easy to sympathize with housewives and their effort to demonstrate a protest against the rising cost of living. However, it is difficult to see how their boycott against supermarkets is going to help the situation. In the first place, it is doubtful they are picketing the right people. The markup on chain stores, which derive most of their profit from volume, is so small that cutting prices to levels would not amount to much. It would make as much sense to picket the farmer, who is responsible for about 45 per cent of the price.

He can't get much lower and stay in business. It is doubtful the retailer shows a 5 per cent net profit and in the case of the chain is probably closer to two per cent or less. If the chain store derives its profit from volume, picketing probably will result either in rising prices to offset the loss in volume or a reduction in quality or quantity. Any store owner can name you a dozen ways of cutting quality or quantity so the average shopper "will not catch i at least, not right away. TT Then, there is some question as to whether food prices are as responsible for the increased cost of 'living as are other items.

For example, 15 or 20 years ago when food prices were lower, tiie purchase of food constituted about 25 per cent of the average family budget. Today, it comprises about 18 per cent. It is doubtful housewives are spending less for food; therefore incomes must be larger, which on -average they are. It alse must mean since the lady of the house is buying just as much food as she did before she is spending more money for other items, like rent, heat, taxes, furniture and appliances, to say nothing of luxury items like ci- and cosmetics. Nobody would deny food prices are rising.

But the statistics would seem, to indicate they are not rising as much as other items. The fact incomes are rising also is significant because there are economists who claim this is forcing prices up. Rising income is largely due to union members getting periodic raises in the production and packaging fields. And it is in these processing fields-and, locally, transportation-that food and other prices can be found. If your husband received a raise in his factory job recently, it stands to reason the manufacturer passed along the cost of that raise to the distributor.

He passed it along to the retailer. And the retailer is the man being picketed by the wife of the worker who got the raise in the first place. Grant OKd For SLt Institute CANTON The National Science Foundation will support a summer institute in animal behavior at St. Lawrence University in 1967, it was announced Monday.

'Burg Lists Police Pay Meetings OGDENSB0RG The police pay dispute still continues.

Alderman Curtis Kennedy, chairman of the law and printing committee, a special meeting of that committee for Monday night. It was expected Corporation Counsel Preston Carlisle would attend the meeting. The law and printing committee, the police and PBA committees have scheduled informal talks Tuesday evening at. City Hall. The action follows demands by the PBA that some action be taken on their petition to hold a referendum for higher wages.

The council, according to the petition, has 60 days to act on the matter. They can accept or reject the petition. If it is rejected, the PBA must obtain 5 per cent more signatures from registered voters in the city before a referendum can be conducted. It is felt the council may bel divided on what course of action to take, but as one city official put it, "we may know what action to follow after the two meetings." Mayor Edward J. Keenan has made no comment on the referendum saying only that the city police and all city employes would receive a pay boost on Jan.

"The pace of exploration is accelerating, and the north country--especially the material for more and more doctoral dissertations. The bibliography on. geological study in this area is as long as your arm. All of this study by no means exhausted the area, but it's been deep and considerable," he said. Dr Bloomer--called "a very special geology professor" by Look Magazine three years ago cited the work of such geologists as V.

Dietrich, J. Prucha, G. H. Chadwick, F. Leonard, A.E.J, and C.

G. Sngel and A. F. Buddington. He pointed out the report from Syracuse indicated the work of Buddington of Princeton had been virtually overlooked since 1924.

"Dr. Buddington is one of the great men in. geology, and his work has not been ignored," said Dr. Bloomer. He noted Or, Buddington visited Canton last summer.

Many institutions have participated in the study of north country geology, including St. Lawrence University, which has had geology in its curriculum since its early'days. Students and professors from such colleges as Cornell, Union, Syracuse, and Brown venture into the north country on explorations, and recently a group from Cortland State College stopped in to see Dr. Bloomer and his staff before going on a field trip in the area. Dr.

Bloomer, who has been head of the geology and geography department since 1947, has done extensive work in north country geology. One of -his latest published works is'on Precambrian Grcnville or Palozoic quartzite in the DeKalb area in Northern New York, appearing in the Geological Society, of America Bulletin. Among gee- logical maps he has, made that of the Gouverneur talc mines. Dr. George Theokritoff, an associate professor, has just published findings of a new species of extinct marine animals in nearby Trout Brook.
