Main; Ph. 394-0110 Canandaigua, N.Y. 93 Years Continuous Service Insurance Real Estate lair Curlers CANADICE Fire and moke did extensive damage to he home of John West, on the anadice Hill Road, at 8:30 a.m. esterday. A fire in the kitchen vas apparently started when air curlers boiled dry in a pan the electric stove.

The kitchen, dining area and ontents were damaged by fire nd the entire house, by smoke, according to Harold Hayward, itrief of the Honeoye Fire De- lartment. Mrs. West, who attempted to mt out the flames in the kitchen vith a fire extinguisher, summoned tha firemen. She was upstairs in the two- story house, preparing to take her daughter to school, when she smelled smoke went downstairs to find the kitchen in flames. West, president of Westplex Co.

in Shortsville, was away on a business trip at the time of the fire. Mrs. West is chairman of the West Ontario County Chapter of the Bed Cross. Installation WasSolemn, Colorful (Continued from Page 1) ed the recent reforms of the Vatican Council in that it was mostly in English. Also, lay people took an active part in yesterday's cere- mony, when four laymen carried the containing the hosts, to Bishop Sheen for his blessing.

And a layman read the epistle in the Mass. The largest change from 29 years ago, however, was having the Episcopal Bishop of Rochester George W. Barrett, in the altar area during the ceremony. He was invited to sit in the sanctuary (altar area) by the bishop. While Bishop Sheen was giving his sermon, apparently unconcerned by nearby photographers, reporters were busy in a room adjacent to the altar area.

Press 'Crying Room' The room, used by reporters and photographers as a press area, is used by the church as a "crying room" for parents who bring small children or babies to church services. It has a large window, the size of a picture window, which allows a good view of the altar. In about the middle of Bishop Sheen's sermon, the room nearly became a "crying room" for (he working press when the sound went off on the tv set. As one body, the reporters, witlrpencils and paper in hand, moved from the roohi out into the side of the church proper so they could continue to listen to the bishop. Then, as if by command, they moved back into the room, about two minutes later, as the sound came back on.

The coverage by press and television was attributed to the popularity of the man installed as Rochester's sixth bishop. Besides being a noted theologian and author, Bishop Sheen is seen by millions on his weekly tv show, and has been a guest many times on television shows. I (Dily Ifessejieer Photo 'PRAY FOR ME' Bishop Sheen, shown giving his sermon at the installation Mass yesterday, asked two favors of member of the diocese. "Pray for me; wrile to me," he said. "If it is hard to save my own soul, it is going to be harder to bo responsible for all the souls in the diocese." -f- Supervisors Rules Change Voted Down Famed For Converts He also is noted for the converts he has instructed into the Catholic faith.

Many of them are well known, nationally. One of these, Clare Boothe Luce, wife of the of Time and Life magazines, was seated in the first row on the aisle, during the ceremony. Following the ceremony, Bishop Sheen took his. time as lie marched in a procession back to the-rectory. He- stopped several times to shake hands arid make 'comments to the people who had been waiting for him during the ceremony.

When he got to the top of the steps, leading to the rectory, he turned and smiled at the went into the priests' house. It was a memorable occasion. Boisvert's Position Is Made Permanent (Continued from Page 1) association $1,400 to administer the program in 1967.: Supervisor Mark Adams of Naples, of the board's judiciary committee, said yesterday, "The bar association wants more than $1,400. But we feel this is the 'most we can pay. Last year we paid $800 for 10 months.

'If the bar association does not accept this contract, the only alternative may be for us to hire a public will have more information on 'this after we talk to the bar association," he said. Startingly Original SITTINGBOURNE, England (UPI)--After asking the-public to suggest a name for the new town hall, the council held a meeting and decided fo call the building "the town hall." Reservations PHONE WA 4 Under the present plan, 5eople who cannot afford their wn defense attorney are as- igned an attorney who is paid iy the county. The attorney is assigned judges or justices if the peace from' a fist that is kept by the administrator of the Clerk Handles List 'Although the president of the bar association is technically he administrator, he appoints a clerk who handles the assignment list and lets judges and ustices of the peace know who at the top of the list. The public defender, to whom Adams referred, would be hired by the county and would be responsible for all cases involving indigent defenders. This system of public defense was cortsidered last year after the state passed a law requiring counties to provide defense attorneys for the indigent.

However, it was decided to utilize the system which the county has used the past 10 months. An attempt failed to yesterday to eliminate an Ontario County Board of Supervisors rule which allows any supervisor to table action if that supervisor does not want a vote to be taken at the time the action is presented. The attempt to eliminate the rule apparently stemmed from the recent use of it by Supervisor Christopher Huthven lo delay action on a plan to give county employes pay increases based on their length of service. The rule states that every motion or resolution before the board shall lay over until the next session of the board if it is so demanded by any member of the board. Purpose of the rule is to safe- gruard any supervisor against the possibility that a motion or resolution can be acted upon before he has had a chance to become informed about it, In blunter words, tKe rule is designed to stop attempts by any supervisor or group of supervisors to rush through an action before other supervisors really know what it is all about.

Although the motion to change the -rule was introduced by Supervisor Robert. Moody of the board's legislation and improved methods; committee, it was supported strongly in the meeting by Supervisor Joseph P. of the -salary committee. Paulsen referred to the fact that the rule had been invoked to delay action on his committee's recommendation for longevity -pay increases for county employes. The result of using the rule, he said, was to eliminate the possibility that the board could act on it in time to put it into effect next year.

Several supervisors objected to changing or eliminating the rule. They said that in their tenure on the board they had seldom seen the rule used and had never seen it misused. Supervisor Moody proposed yesterday that the rule be changed to require the -support ot at least one-third of the supervisors before an item could be laid over to the next meeting. The proposal was rejected in a voice vote. In other business yesterday, supervisors received a resolution rom the Ontario County Federated Spovlmens Club, which asksd the board to develop two sites on the east side of Canandaigua Lake as county parks.

The sites are known as the County Park and Deep Run Park. Supervisors have discussed the possibility of developing these locations into swimming, picnicking and boat launching areas, but as yet, no action has been taken. City Firemen Air Protests OnPayHikes (Continued from Page 1) go from the present $4,041 to $4,700, an increase of slightly more than one per cent, "not five per cent as city officials have stated." When the drivers were talking (o Board of Health' and Public Safety members in presenting their requests for pay raises for 1967, they pointed out that "even when we are off duly, they turn out to most all general alarms. We are not told or even asked to do this, but the drivers feel a sense of responsibility toward the city and especially toward the department." Safety Halards They also pointed out that their job entails safety hazards to health (from smoke inhala lion) and to their person because of possibility of injuries at the fires. Whether or not the firemen receive any public support, it is probable the matter of their pay will come tomorrow morning when Mayor T.

Hamilton Kennedy meets with city employes in an annual meeting at the Elks Lodge. Purpose of the meeting, according to the mayor, is for em- ployes to get their problems "off their chests" and for him to report to them his feelings about their accomplishments of the past year.
