"This affects all socio-economic groups," he said. "With two parents in the family being professionals, supervision of kids becomes a real factor. The parents can take a trip to Europe and the kids are unsupervised." He said this is obvious as Pearl River becomes more affluent.

That booklet will be paid by a $3,000 grant from the town Substance Abuse Committee, and $2,000 from the county. "This promotes community communication, which supplements what we're teaching the children in school," said Pearl Solomon, director of health education in the district.

Johnson has arranged for the district to collaborate with the Anti-Defamation League to incorporate into the curriculum the "World of Difference" program that teaches sensitivity to cultural diversity. She doesn't plan on retiring for 20 years, but when she does, she says she will be ready to return to the place of her family's roots, in Virginia.

"It was a neighborhood of blacks and Italians, but from the fifth grade on, I was often the only black in my class as we were grouped according to ability," Johnson says. "I didn't have many friends, and the way to be recognized was to excel." Her memories of discrimination are still vivid.

Ramapo budget and election schedule Meanwhile, diaper services are no longer conceding that disposables are more convenient. Diaper services now sell cotton diapers that are placed in a reusua-ble waterproof wrap which are fastened with Velcro snaps instead of diaper pins. "And they are delivered to your door so you don't have to carry the disposables back from the supermarket," said Mogavero of General Health Care Corp. the only diaper service in the Rockland Yellow Pages. Diaper services also contend that their product costs less, and is less likely to produce a diaper rash.

Two years of a diaper service costs an average $1,280, compared to disposable diapers that cost about $1,600 for the same period, according to promotional material produced by General Health Care. Proctor and Gamble spokesman Collier disagreed. He said there was no significant difference in cost or increased likelihood of diaper rash with either product. Hyde, Catherine Corless and Leonard Greenberg. April 4: Public hearing on budget, 8 p.m., district office.

April 18: Adoption of final budget by school board. April 25: Voter registration, 4 to 9 p.m., district office. May 2: Public vote on budget and trustees. This is the schedule for approval of East Ramapo's 1990-91 school budget and election of three school trustees: Tonight: Approval of tentative budget by school board, 7:30, district office, South Madison Avenue, Spring Valley. April 2: deadline for submission of petitions to oppose incumbent trustees Georgine Board President Georgine Hyde, who is up for re-election this year, said it's dangerous to ask district taxpayers for much more money.

"We don't have any major industry to help pay for the schools. We are all working class and middle class people who are working very hard to make ends meet," she said. "It's a brutal, terrible thing." Busing, however, should remain available for all children, she said. "Roads are becoming more dangerous and more people are working two jobs and they can't drive their children to school anymore," Hyde said. PTA Council President Nancy Jauvtis said too many cuts could permanently damage East Ramapo's reputation for good education, arguing that state funding could be restored in the future and allow taxes to be reduced again.

"We have to meet the needs of every child," Jauvtis said. "If a high budget is the only way to do it, we have to do it. The only way America has a future at all is if children receive a superior education." Jauvtis said the PTA Council is opposed to cuts in educational programs or increases in class size. "We are here for the interests of the child," she said. The PTA Council will meet April 3 and hear a budget presentation by the district administration before deciding whether to support the budget, she said.

Last week, some board members discussed increasing the maximum class size by one student in grades one to six, thereby eliminating eight teachers and saving $240,000. "Any cuts we make are painful. I would support them for the sake of passing the budget," Trustee Rhoda Appel said. "I don't want to cut programs." Trustee Leonard Projansky opposed changes in class size, saying that some classes would increase by five or more students because of the one-student increase in maximum size. He used the example of a school with five classes ranging from 21 to 22 students under a 26-student maximum.

With a 27-student maximum they could be consolidated into four classes of 27 students. "I am frightened that we're gong to be in a panic mode and start cutting the things that make this district so special," Projansky said. "There are other ways of cutting without affecting children." Trustee Phyllis Hoffman said she and Projansky had pledged not to increase class size when they were elected, but she wondered whether those voters would feel differently now. "That was years ago. I don't know if it is still feasible," Hoffman said.

"Maybe it's time to review a philosophy that may not be feasible." Trustee Christine Corless said she would rather cut back on other areas, such as art and music teachers, rather than increasing class size. POLICE BLOTTER Felony DWI Trustee Appel opposed the idea of encouraging early retirement for one year, thereby saving $750,000 by allowing lower-paid teachers and employees to take their places. Appel said she fears future teachers will consider it unfair that others were allowed to retire early. "You establish a precedent that will hit us in the face for years," Appel said. Anderson said the proposed removal of 13 teaching positions, without increasing class size, meant "taking out safeguards" against unexpected numbers of last-minute students.

"We have tightened it up to the point of deciding where every teach- er will be, with three months left in the school year." The cuts also include postponing the purchase of three school vans, to save $76,000, removing eight special education teaching assistants to save $120,000, and eliminating eight lOth-grade elective classes to save $120,000. This is the second of a nine-part series on school budgets. Tomorrow, there will be a report on the proposed budget for the Nyack schools. DWI accident CLARKSTOWN A New City man was charged with driving while intoxicated after an accident early yesterday on Collyer Avenue. Nickolaj Mikel, 28, of 98 Collyer was charged with driving while intoxicated after the 1:30 a.m.

accident. Clarkstown police said the driver of another car recieved "minor injuries" but could not immediately provide details. Mikel was released pending a hearing in Clarkstown Justice Court. STONY POINT A 26-year-old West Haverstraw man was arrested Thursday on charges of driving while intoxicated, police said.

He was arrested at about 3 a.m. after he was seen driving erratically. A police dispatcher yesterday said he didn't know where Woska was stopped. He was released without bail, pending an April 4 court appearance. WHAT'S AHEAD Walter S.

Mack, Pepsi founder dies at 94 MEETINGS TODAY IN ROCKLAND known cola company was spun off from Loft's the New York candy company. At the time, the company made a syrup formulated by a North Carolina druggist in 1893 that it sold to candy stores. It made little headway against Coca-Cola until Mack broke Coke's control of the name "cola" in a historic fight. In three years Pepsi was an international giant second only to Coca-Cola in sales. During the Depression, Mack became involved in turning around troubled but promising companies.

While trying to save the Loft's candy chain, he found its Pepsi syrup more interesting. He also bought what he called "the first commercial jingle ever heard on the air," which played in the first 60-second and 30-second network spots: "Pepsi-Cola hits the spotTwelve full ounces, that's a lotTwice as much for a nickel, tooPepsi-Cola is the drink for you." "Today, when I listen to some of the jingles pouring forth, I'm not so sure that I started such a good thing," he once said. By Paul Geitner The Associated Press NEW YORK Walter S. Mack, the man who made Pepsi-Cola into the nation's second-largest selling soft drink, died early yesterday after a long illness. He was 94.

Mack died in his sleep at his Manhattan home, where he had been recuperating from a December bout with pneumonia and heart disease, said his son, Walter S. Mack Jr. Mack became Pepsi's president in 1938, when the relatively un His wife, Ruth, died in 1986.
