Mrs. Hellewell said the objects were moving south for the minute she watched them. "We thought they might be helicopters," he said, "but they didn't have any propellers.

They were sort of egg-shaped and moved very slowly." The bride is a graduate of Elmhurst Academy and Vemon Court and attended the University of Rhode Island.

City Bans Tippling In Its Parks Thursday, September 27 Drinking or possessing alcoholic beverages in public parks at night or drinking on streets and sidewalks is illegal. The city Council last night gave final passage to an ordinance prohibiting those acts. The ban on drinking in parks is effective from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Drinking on streets or sidewalks is banned at all times.

Violators could be fined up to $100 or sent to jail for 30 days. The drinking ban was a result of complaints of vandalism at Morton Park at night. Neigh-, bors of the park asked the Council to close it from 10 p.m. to sunrise, but the Council banned drinking, instead. The Council also cut the rate for the sewer user charge from 32 per cent to 27 per cent of the water bill.

The reduction was necessary because of the increase in water rates would boost the user receipts above the amount needed. The Council prohibited parking on the east side of Chapel Street from Memorial Boulevard to Old Beach Road. Newport Mercury, Friday, October 5, 1973 5 Martha FitzGerald Bride OfLt.

Middlelown officials and the Middletown Fraternal Order of Police are expected to sign a one-year contract tomorrow that will give police a three percent pay increase and improved retirement benefits.

The Middletown Town Council tonight will adopt a resolution authorizing Council President Robert M. Silva to sign the contract on behalf of the town. The Council meets tonight at 8. The Council will also conduct a public hearing on a proposed zoning amendment to permit manufacturing and light industry in manufacturing, light industry and general business zones. The police contract, retroactive to July 1, is the end resultof recent arbitration after negotiations between the town and police broke down.

The wage increase will not give policemen additional take home pay, since the FOP has agreed to increase employe contributions to the pension fund by three per cent. Members of the 3fl-man force will now be eligible for retirement with half pay after 20 years service instead of 25 as before. Those electing to stay 25 years will receive 62 per cent pay on retirement. The FOP gave a little ground on method of determining a man's pension. Police had wanted the pension determined by a man's last salary year.

Today the FOP said, however, it would agree to the town's proposal of determining pension pay based on an average of a policeman's last three salary vears. Surveillance Pays At Forty Steps Site Monday, October 1 Surveillance by police at Forty Steps on the Cliff Walk, where so many thefts from cars have been reported, paid off Saturday night when Patrolman William Amaral found two men attempting to take a radio and purse from a planted police car. Amaral said he saw two men drive to the end of Narragansett Avenue from his vantage point nearby. One of the men got out and looked into a parked station wagon, but drove off without attempting to steal anything. The car returned shortly and one of the men, whom Amaral recognized, got out of the car and walked over to the decoy car.

He took a woman's white and gold purse and a police radio from the car, tucked them under his jacket and started back to his car. Amaral emerged from hiding and pointed his revolver at the thief while announcing he was a police officer. The men attempted to start the car but Amaral ordered the driver, a 16- year-old juvenile to turn off the ignition and he did. The other man then started the car as Amaral struggled with him. As the car shot forward the officer was thrown to the ground.

He was afraid to shoot because there were pedestrians in the area. Amaral walked to Miley Hall at Salve Regina College and called police headquarters. A short time later the car was stopped at Spring and Young Streets by Patrolman Raymond Clancy Jr. Only the juvenile was inside it. Tonight public hearing on the proposed zoning amendment will constitute the first reading.

It will come before the Council for a final reading and vote Oct. 15. Rate Boost Is Planned At Hospital Monday, October 1 Following the lead of most oilier Rhode island hospitals faced with risingcosts, Newport Hospital plans a rate-boost for rooms and other health services, a Newport Hospital official said today. William K. Turner, hospital director, said the hospital has set neither an amount nor a timetable for the increase.

At least seven Ocean State hospitals reportedly increased their rates today, the beginning of the fiscal period for most Rhode Island hospitals. Turner cited the rising costs of services and products as the reason for the increase. The rate increase, when it comes, will be the first room- rate hike since Jan. 16, 1972, when mom rates at Newport Hospital jumped $5. The rates also jumped soon after the Hospital's Tower Building opened in February, 1970.

The cost of intensive care and progress units increased last January, said Turner. Room rates in Newport are $65 a day in multi-bed, mostly two-bed units and $75 and $77 a day in private rooms. The cost of some other services will also be increased, Turner said. The center's day-care facilities opened Aug. 4.

Ten beds in the center's inpatient section have been readied for occupancy since that facility opened Sept. 5.
