Everyone coming to dinner at the center is contributing some "spe. cial recipe" to the pot luck portion Oh the menu. 1 The main items, turkey, pies, arid "extras" have been' donated from different people, in town. In charge of gathering much of the days fare was Senior citizens commis- -sioh member Charles Petit who was appointed to the commission a few weeks ago.

While excitement-for these senior-citizens spending at "their center" has been 'great, Miss Jahnke said' she has been more excited than anyone. "This is my family she said' "and I'm so excited that I'll be-spend-'' ing the holiday with them. It's a beautiful feeling," said Miss Jahnke. 1 At the festivities today after dinner, the Rev. Willard Baumgartner, "Chair-r-man of the Senior Citizen Commission and his family will conduct a sing-along for the group.

Miss Jahnke who is an accomplished classical pianist, will give a short con- cert.

By MARYELLEN WAZORKO PLAINVILLE Today will be a special Thanksgiving for at least 50 persons at the Senior Citizens Center who will have dinner together rather than eat alone. Senior Citizen Director Shawn Jahnke, whose own family is in Minnesota, began advertising the "Thanksgiving dinner" several weeks ago inviting senior citizens who have no family or plans for the holiday to join her at the center for dinner. More than 50 people in town signed up for the dinner. Miss who admits she never expected such overwhelming response, said many of those who will eat their holiday dinner at the center today, are married couples who would have eaten alone.

In some cases, Miss Jahnke said, couples with children, declined dinner invitations from their children because they would rather eat with friends at the senior center. Holiday preparations at the center began Wednesday as volunteers came in to prepare vegetables for today's feast.

D-New Britain; sajd Wednesday-after listening to Gov. Grasso's budget butting proposals, he will ask for a cut in pay' of legislator's, Commissioners; their "deputies and "those in the higher echelon' of 'state employment." Bordiere said, "I would hope that they would volunteer to 'take the pay cut under the present tight financial circumstances." He said he. is willing to take 10 per cent less for serving in the. legislature. He said lastyear's longer legislative session meant pay legislators and this year's, which is a shorter term, will provide $4,500.

Pierre a Democrat who represents a small.portiori of New Britain and all of Plainville. State Sen, Paul Amenta, D-New Britain, said he would vote in favor of the governor's employe proposal. He proposed a plan, however, to upgrade salary scales of lower-rated, hourly paid employes to insure they do not lose any take-home pay. Bordiere said he agrees with most of Mrs. Grasso's proposals, including the plan to extend state employes work week to 40 hours from the present 35.

"There must be some deviations from a blanket order, however," he said. "For example, hospital and penal employes now work 40 hours for straight time and to pay them for taken pending a determination from Town Atty. David Koskoff on whether a building permit cpuld be issued for the structure, which would located on a lot owned by the town in a nonconforming zone. In a letter to the commission, Koskoff suggested that no action be taken until he has a chance to talk with water Koskoff said his' immediate reaction was that a building permit could not be issued. Several residents were at the meeting to -oppose the plan.

However, comrhission-ers. tabled any action on the Koskoff, Public Hearing Laska suggested in a letter to the commission that a public hearing be conducted on the issue. Commissioners moved to have such a hear Officials and urged all veterans organizations to unite in opposition to the proposal. Morris claimed state employes were taking the brunt of the state's deficit problems. "I think it's deplorable," he said.

"If the governor wants to cut some services, that's one option, or she could go with a perennial tax," he said. St. Pierre said he wss "hot happy" with the governor's proposals, especially proposed treatment of state employes. "The burden should be spread out," he said.

Finding States The finding further stated that "Nothing herein shall be used to require Kane to give Cuts For only 35 hours would mean a reduction in pay to them. They should be exempt from the order," he said. Rep.

Badolato said he sympathizes with the position in which the governor finds herself. But, he said, "I don't think I would support her in total." One definite area of opposition by Badolato is the governor's proposed state employe work plan. Badolato is a veteran labor leader and is executive director of the Connecticut Municipal Council No. 4 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Workers. But council 4 does not represent any state employes, he said.

Hermanowski said patronage jobs that run from to $20,000 should be looked into for cuts." He also said he was "unalterably opposed" to the governor's stand on the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Fund ing before there, is any further consideration on the plan.
