THE TOWN and two members of the school board want to scrap the new system and go back to the reliable old methods: But Lange said he is working to save modular scheduling and to make other reforms. "It's slow going, though.

I'm still learning the ropes, and there is a lot to learn," he said. Like most young board members Lange finds the job challenging. "It's, a strain at times because it's a lot of work and you take a lot of abuse, but when you do see something accomplished it makes you feel good," he said. Many of the young candidates ran on platforms relating to discipline, and some say that in this area they tend to be on the student's side more, often. None of them, however, want to see discipline thrown out the window.

He also puts out a newsletter for homeowners who "are paying for the school system but are unable to come to meetings to find out what's going on." LoDico is the rule rather than an exception among the young school board members. Most of them appear to be -hard working and seriously interested in improving the educational process in their schools. WALTER W.

TROIKE, who was elected at age 20, said he is trying to streamline some obsolete programs in the Rid-gefield school system. One program he is pushing for is career education job education which "starts at kindergarten," said Troike, who is an education major at Newark State College. "We need a program like this. Many kids can't find a job for themselves even after graduation from college," Troike said. The school system at Ridgefield is "traditional," and it is difficult to innovate, he said.

"That's why it's frustrating. The board is taking care of the problems they have to, paying bills and hiring teachers. They aren't moving ahead," Troike said. MOST OF THE LNDER-21 By NICHOLAS JOLLYMORE United Press International When 55 candidates under the age of 21 were tyring to get their foot in the door of various New Jersey school boards last February, many board members watching the local elections probably tfelt like running out the back exit. But four months after the elections it looks like the two 20-year-olds and six teenagers actually elected are contributing more than just rhetoric to their school boards.

"These kids are moving into our world and not taking it over," said James B. Day, director of communications of the New Jersey School Boards Association. SOME SCHOOL board members panicked briefly when teenagers were elected, but they calmed down after they came into contact with the youths, he said. The secretary of the Saddle Brook board of education has nothing but good words for Peter A. LoDico, who was elected at.

age 18. "Pete is more active than I am," said Secretary John S. Mezian. LoDico works on a number of committees, but he attends more meetings than he has to, Mezian said. The drug abuse committee, where he has a special interest, LoDico has been corresponding with Rep.

Jan Million, who flies her husband to his business and political meetings, and Gwendolyn Truel, a grnadmother who runs a florist shop, landed here yesterday as the top contenders for the $5,000 first prize. Their flight times, along with those of all 97 entrants, were being computed under a "I recommended him and he was rehired by an cght to one vote," he said. MOST OF the youn? board members say they ue not considering politic! careers, but' two of them, least, seem to have thoir, sights on other elective Lebrato, far from being a hit-and-miss candidate, had a relavively strong campaign team.

It was made of mostly of his friends and some local-. ly important neop'e who passed out flyers and worker on the phone. "We got lists of registered voters and called them individually. We must have spent about two solid weeks on the phone," he said. In addition, Lebrato went to the stump, speaking to 15 local parent and teacher organizations.

Another young board member is already running for a second office. ANDREA WURTZEL, who was not only the first 18-year-old elected, but aiso the first under 21-year-old female, is a "slated candidate colun- cilwoman." The. Republican party 'asked me to run for the of-" fice. It was an extreme sur- prise," she said. Miss Wurtzel is a member of the Black Horse Pike Regional Board of Education.

Anyone wanting a free chess kit from the United States Chess Federation should write to me, care of this newspaper. I plan to write a number of articles on the progress of this memorable match. I have met both Fischer and Spassky on a number of occasions in my capacity as president of the Un.ied States Chess Federation. Both are strong competitors and great players-. Chess is far more of an all Consuming activity for Fischer than for Spaasky.

For example, Spassky has been giving regular news conferences, signing autographs, etc. and in general mixing with the chess public in Ice- iand Fischer on the contrary. has remained in relative seclus- ion since his arrival.

"The internal problems of the school district are unsol-vable by the board of education at this time. They have to be solved by the township council," she said. THE TWO MAJOR problems are overcrowding and finances, she said. The board is powerless to act in these problems, but the counril can regulate housing to stabilize population and encourage light industry to move in and increase ratablcs, in her view. A seat on both the board of education and the tnvnship council would better enable her to fulfill her educational goals, she feels.

It might also prove "physically impossible," le said. "I'm also attending school and working for some student organizations." The complaint of a crowded schedule is common among the young board members. All eight of them are enrolled full time at colleges of universities. Their school board duties may also infringe on their social life, but "only a little," as Peter LoDico put it. He added, "But I don't mind it." Fischer Inspects Match Site REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) American chess challenger Bobby Fischer slipped into the Reykjavik sports arena before dawn today for a minute inspection of the facilities provided for the start of tomorrow's championship match with world titleholder Boris Spassky.

Chess sources said Fischer left a list of complaints about the lighting, the table and other facilities. They said all the complaints could be straightened out before tomorrow's game. Earlier, Fischer had his favorite chair, a black leather and metal swivel model, flown in from New York. Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly afier the much talked about chair and studied itvsuspicicusly. Then they left without comment.

Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? "It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Wants Own Chair Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and then gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair." Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match. Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games Tuesday.

"Bobby is relaxed and ready. We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation. $5 Admission But the players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand Tuesday.

He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match. It has been put together from Icelandic stones.

When a in t-lii 1 i i PETER LO DICO board members reported at least initial frustration or non-acceptance on the board, but said acceptance came after they began working.

"They make exceptions," said 19-year-old Bill Lange, of the Hillside Board of Education. "When I disagree with them they say I'm too young, but when I agree then I'm mature for my age." In general though, Lange feels he is accepted. The problem in Hillside is not Following their landing Saturday came a Cessna 210-D, piloted by Mrs. Kathryn Mc-Namara of Reedley, and Mrs. Carol Bugay, of Fresno.

Bad weather that dogged many contestants grounded 34 planes at Latrobe, yesterday morning for several hours until a fog lifted. Rules disqualified any pilot forced' to fly by instrument. THE ONLY accident in the race occurred when veteran pilot Mardo Crane's landing gear failed, forcing her to execute a "belly-up" landing in her twin-engine plane in Fort Wayne, Saturday night. Mrs. Crane emerged unhurt.

During the race, New Jer- sey ham radio operators set up a central receiving station at the airpark to record each 1 plane's progress and to keep touch with the fliers.

TRENTON The Cahill Administration's tax reform program would benefit property owners in all 24 of Gloucester County's municipalities, the people for Tax Reform (PTR) said today. The citizens group which is promoting the reform pack? age issued a breakdown of property tax cuts it said would result from it. Key elements of the tax reform program call for state financing, of school, welfare, county judicial and tax board costs with an income tax and state- wide property tax of $1 per $100 of true value. While the proposed state income tax would only replace the revenue lost through elimination of the local property tax for schools, PTR said, in Courier-Post Photo WORLD CHESS CHAMPION Boris "Spassky of the Soviet Union prepares to meet with grandmaster Bobby Fischer of the United States when championship matches begin in Reykjavik, Iceland.

In short Spassky needs to score 12 points to win, while Fischer must score 12 points out of the 24 games maximum.
