SECOND OF A SERIES Predicted Double Sessions Now A North Rockland Reality structed immediately wherever needed and that "plans will be made for a new senior high school to be built on a site of not less than 40 acres in a central location." Black bordered signs reading "Obituary, Haverstraw High School to1 be laid to Rest on March 23, 1957 unless you vote No on 13 District Centralization" appeared in the passed. One was passed in 1958 for $3.4 million for the construction of the Haver-f' North Garnprville and Stony Point Elementary hciiools and additions to the Tomkins Cove and West Haverstraw Schools. THE OTHER was approved by the voters on April 18, 1964 for $3.6 million to make the existing Stony Point Ele- streets of Haverstraw Village at the time of the vote. Another sign read "All TV Give-away Programs are Pikers compared with our Sch(X)l Board who want to give away $4 million worth of high school and grade facilities belonging to District To date 10 building propositions have been offered to the voters and only two have i from the 6 non functioning districts (those whose school buildings were no longer In use) and Institute half-day sessions to accommodate everyone. It was pointed out at the time of the vote that the North Rockland area had public school children with proper facilities for only 1,525, leaving a shortage of 1,233 seats.

(There were 1,723 children in Grades K-6 and 1,035 In Grades 7-12). Today Just 8 years later the district has an enrollment of 4,491 pupils and a space shortage of 1,215 seats, a reduction "in shortage" of 18 seats from 1957. (There are 2,822 children in Grades K-6 and 1,669 in Grades 7-12.) THE PICTURE somewhat brightens when new facilities now under construction will be put into use in the fall of 1966 when the enrollment will be an estimated 5,307 pupils and fhe district will have space for 4,740, an estimated shortage of 567 seats. But this will only be temporary and new facilities are a continual must. The problem has centered around the Haverstraw High School Building, built in 1936 as a K-12 school for 1,000 pupils.

The Centralization Committee recommended that new elementary facilities be con mentary School (built In 1958) into a Junior high school, build a new Stony Point School off Heights Road, make the Haverstraw High School into a senior high and build additions to the Havei-straw and North Gamerville Elementary Schools. This work is now in pi-ogress. Why did the others go down? Several factors are Important. One, is the passionate feeling in Haverstraw that the high school should stay there at all costs. Another is that many voters, particularly ln the Villages of Haverstraw and West Haverstraw live on fixed Incomes and believe that by voting down new school construction they will keep taxes down.

However, new housing developments particularly the row houses In West Haverstraw, have brought new children Into the North Rockland area. Long before they were offered to the voters, political leaders in Haverstraw openly boasted they would knock i down any and all refcrendums to build a new high school on the 43-acre Hammond Road site in Thiells. This was in September 1962. Their opportunity came three times in four months in the spring of 1963 when proposals to build a $3.4 million senior high school for 1,000 pupils were slaughtered consistently in the Villages of Haverstraw and West Haverstraw.

Goode's book, "World Revolution in Family Patterns," in which he examined changes that have occurred in the family system over the past 50 years. Dr. and Mrs. Goode have lived in Piermont 12 years. A son, who graduated Lorn Tappan-Zee high school, is working toward his doctorate In sociology at Columbia.

Goode teaches history. search on family systems and social mobility patterns. Some patterns, Goode explained, such as the caste system of India, seem to produce low mobility, where individuals do not move up or down In the social order but remain at the level the family occupies, though there are exceptions.

SOCIAL mobility In the West Is much greater. Dr. Goode seeks to learn if the that greater mobility is related to the smaller size of the Western family, compared to that of the East. He will also study other social effects of family structure. The award winning prospec "I won't yell In the streets, but I'm quite pleased; it's a great thing," said Dr.

The awards, this year totaling more than $2 million, are made by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation to scholars, scientists and artists to enable them to pursue their professional work Independently. Dr. Goode, who teaches at the graduate school at Columbia University, was the only sociologist to win an award this year.

He will use the money to finance a sabbatical year in re and on June 22, 1,603 to 144 against it. The proposition lost each time by about a margin of 800 votes in distrlc-wide voting. The senior high school which HIM Till II" 1 Iff Tim i a imw -SO' TO MC UAIO TO RttT NO vote boost would have actually cost the district $1.9 million ($1.4 million would be received in State aid) was defeated for several reasons among them the belief by many in Haverstraw that a picture on the bond issue brochure depicting crowded conditions ln Haverstraw High School was faked, others were thoroughly convinced that the building was going to be named after the school board president, Mrs. Margaret B. Davis of Stony Point.

An earlier effort to get a senior high school, this one the GO-acre Burck tract on Cinder Road for HI million (State aid went down to defeat in December 1960 1.745 to 754. A few days later the Catholic ArchdlocesQ of New York bought the site for the St Gregory Barbarlgo Parish and parochial school. During the April 10, 1963 balloting, Mrs. Margaret M. Matone, a school board member, posted signs ln the Haverstraw and North Gamervillo polling places warning, "Attention! Rent Must be Reported on Federal Income Tax Forms.

List of Rent Payers will be forwarded to the Bureau of Internal Revenue." Mrs. Matone contended that there were some people voting who did not live In the district. When Gus Frasco of the Haverstraw Citizens for Sensible Education and School Board Members Harold Blank tore the signs down at North Gamerville, Mrs. Helen Cooper, an election clerk, called the State Police charging disorderly conduct said they explained voting qualifications. The police declined comment.

Tomorrow: ftrhnnl Phot by Scott Wiotar drain 72-66 (76 votes are needed for passage in the Assembly). Although the measure would have applied statewide, it had been sought by New York City. It would have permitted tenants to remain ln limited-profit housing projects after their income had exceeded the maximum limits by 50 per cent. Now the law requires that they move after their income exceeds the top limit by 25 per cent. Again, Assemblyman Daniel Becker, Newburgh Republican, led the attack on the bill.

"It seems unconscionable to allow tenants with Incomes of more than $15,000 and up to $25,000 to preempt apartments that would ordinarily be available through the filtering operation of a free market," said Becker. He argued that with the new limits, a family of four would be able to make an Income 10 times the rent He said that the limited Income housing Is subsidized la three-ways: The state sells the bonds, permitting a lower Interest rate than would ordinarily be possible; the local municipality can grant a real-estate tax exemption of up to 50 per cent; and the Interest on the bonds sold for the housing is tax free. Democrats argued that tenants' rents rise with their income; that many tenants wait long to get Into the houses and meanwhile their incomes near the limits; and that constantly forcing tenants to move from the project Just because their income rises creates unstable neighborhoods. Among upstate Democrats who opposed the bill last week, but voted for It yesterday were: Thomas J. Mrlnerney, Westchester County, and Joseph St.
