Members of the negotiating team for the New London Education Association (NLEA) have not been able to iron out their request for mediation in a disa greement with the Board of Ed ucation.

The issue relates to rejection of nine of 16 ground rules the committee presented to the board preliminary to talks on terms of the 1970-71 contract.

Former Mayor Harvey Mai-love, a member of the club's -board, disclosed Sunday he has received a check for $53.52 from Treasurer Stuart Hobron.

This represents funds left over from 1967, the last year the club functioned and, in accordance with a prior vote of the executive board, the $53.52 will be sent to the Seaside recreation fund. Mallove said it is the club's hope that Seaside Director Fred Finn and Jack O'Keefe, director of recreational activities, will be able to purchase recreation equipment.

GROTON (Special) Although last month their request for 'a zoning exception for housing for the elderly was rejected, members of Mystic River homes are apparently reluctant to call it quits. fhey were meeting late Sunday night at the Noank Baptist CHDrch to assess the setback and discuss possible future course of action.

The Rev. James Pratt, pastor at the Noank Baptist Church an3 one of the Mystic River Homes directors, said that it was his feeling that "we will not quit." He said the Mystic homes group had not met since the Zoning Commission vetoed a spicial exception which would have allowed construction of housing for the elderly off Irv-injj Street. Homes for 55 Mystic River 'Homes, a nonprofit group, had hoped to build five small structures with three housing units each, another five buildings containing eight units each and a tenth building housing a store and laundry facilities. The apartment houses were to "have been built low to the ground and, along with landscaping, were designed to blend in with the surrounding area. The 55 dwelling units would have been available to those 62 years of age and over at rents ranging from $80 to $160 a month, or a maximum 25 per cent of the residents' income.

Those apartments which were not self-supporting would have Proposal for May Be Sent GROTON (Special) The Town Council may be presented an ordinance setting up a Com-m i Development Action Plan (CDAP) Advisory Agency at its first meeting of the new year, Jan. 5. Town Attorney, Joseph Mou-kawsher, who was assigned by the Town Council earlier this month to prepare the legislation, said Sunday he has started work on it and may possibly have the ordinance ready for presentation to the council next month. The former Town Council, ousted at the polls last Nov. 4, appointed members to the agency but never took the necessary legal steps to set up the agency itself as required by the town charter and the state Department' of Community Affairs (DCA), which administers CDAP.

Atty. Moukawsher also said Sunday he would set up a meeting with city attorney James Brcnnan to help in the ordinance. The town and city will presumably file a joini application for CDAP, though a few comments on a separate town application have been made at council meetings. The city would be ineligible for CDAP without the town. Ledyard AT HALL HIGH SCHOOL 50 So.

Main Street NEW LONDON (Special) -This city has more minority groups and poor people than any other in New London Countyand these are fairly well concentrated in the model cities area. This is the conclusion arrived at in the Model Cities Agency mid-planning report just submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Develop ment. The report says about half the blacks and half the Spanish speaking population are concentrated in the neighborhood, but stressed that income of the whites is also low. Inasmuch as poverty is de tected among the employed as. well as the unemployed, sub- employment appears to be the major problem of those seeking to uplift themselves.

Particularly affected are large families, the elderly, mi nority groups and families with female heads, says the report, which adds these can be helped by programs, such as housing, education and health. In order to increase employment opportunities efforts are being made to expand the industrial base, step up port activities, and revitalize the cen East 2 me Course No. Monday Evening 25.

Pratt also said that he saw ''no unfairness in the zoning turndown. "We have a great respect tor tne zoning board," he said. He said that none of the Mys tic River Homes directors had contacted zoning chairman Na than Tupper since the veto because we wanted to avoid exerting undue influence" on the commission and no meetings had been held since, because of the holidays. Mystic River Homes is headed by J. Nelson Harger, presi dent.

The Zoning Commission nas been bitterly criticized by tor-mer town Council member Clif ford Hurley during the past month for zoning alterations severely limiting home business and home rentals eliminating home rentals. Stonington 103 Boys Enroll For Basketball League Games STONINGTON (Special) Recreation Director Woodrow Douville announced 103 boys en rolled in the intermediate bas ketball program to begin in Jan uary.

Club Beginnings The Touchdown Club, which was launched in 1961, met weekly during the football season for dinner and to hear talks By leading figures in the sports world. Also on hand at these sessions were coaches of area high school football teams.

But it was decided to suspend activities after the 1967 season, explained Mallove, because fees asked by speakers had in creased to the point where the club could no longer afford to pay and still meet expenses. Last president was Milton Amanti. Mallove Sunday expressed hope the touchdown club will be revived. "We may be able to figure a way out of our present predicament," Mallove said. It is imperative, the report says, that there be an improved market system to bring people to jobs and to enable those in the model cities area to take advantage of employment opportunities.

Still Go? hazardous condition." The undelivered mail, he said, will be returned to the post of fice, to be picked up there by those to which it is addressed. Facas also said that people living in' the outskirts should make sure the area around their mail boxes is clear, in or der to enable rural carriers to reach them with their cars. "Many of our city carriers have, over the years, suffered serious injury on icy steps," said Facas. "There really is no reason for this, and I urge the public to cooperate. Letter carriers experienced difficulties delivering the mail Saturday in New London, Groton and outlvine towns.

Will Packer, superintendent of mail at the Groton Post Office, said that many walks had not been cleared and that a few streets remained unplowed. As a result, walking condi tions were "extremely hazard' ous." said Packer, who added it was remarkable that not one carrier slioned and fell. Despite these conditions, said Packer, only a few houses did not receive their mail. These were homes where the slippery walks made it impossible for carriers to deliver. However, virtually all prefer ential mail did reach its destin ation, said Packer, whe -added people had had ample opportunity to clear their waiks since the Friday storm.

Like Facas, he said mat start ing today, carriers will be in structed not to deliver mail to houses with hazardous walks and steps. Tn New London, the situation Saturday was a little better, although some carriers also had their trouble getting through to houses where walks remained unshoveled and icy. In addition, in New London like Groton and other area towns, the carriers were loaded down with a heavy accumulation of mail. The last prior delivery was Wednesday. But.

said Facas. we are asking people to get their walks cleared all through the winter in order to make life a little more pleasant for the letter carriers." WEST HARTFORD P.M.

Funds for construction of the housing project would have come from private lending insti-t i through government-guaranteed loans. Zoners Say No Two hearings were held by the Zoning Commission on the Mystic River Homes' request for ozoning exception.

The 5.5-acre site proposed for the elderly housing project is in a resi-dentially zoned area. The commission turned thumbs down on the housing proposal without giving a reason, though opponents attending the hearings voiced opposition to increased traffic they said would result from the project and to what they deemed would be a change in the character of the neighborhood. The proposed housing site, though vacant, is now. used as a parking area for oil trucks. The Irving Street site is seen as the only one in the Mystic-Noank area which meets the requirements for the elderly housing project.

The Rev. Pratt said Sunday that "a certain land area, probably six acres or more, would be needed for the project and that it would have to be close to a store and post office." There are no multi-family zoning areas in Noank or Mystic, he said, and as far as commercial properties are concerned, there are no land sites large enough. "Hopefully," he said, "we will not have to go outside the Mys- CD AP Unit to Council Since taking office, the Town Council has held one informational exchange with representatives from the DCA. Council members were told at the session that they may change or replace any or all parts of the application prepared by the previous council. They also learned from Town Manager Robert H.

McGregor that the CDAP Advisory Council appointments were "invalid," "improper," and "like putting the cart before the horse. Once set up by ordinance and members appointed, the CDAP Advisory Agency is the unit required to submit the town's application for CDAP. Great Dane Produces Pups, Pups, Pups MANSFIELD It was a great day for great danes here Saturday. Tarbeau, best friend of the Robert Turcott family of Bundy Lane produced a litter of 15 pups at the family home. Last spring she had a litter of 17, a total of in two consecutive litters.

Dr. Willard Daniels, acting head of the University of Connecticut Department of Animal Diseases, said the total certainly "approaches a record." Lifetime's water system plan. Wendall Darnold, a Highlands resident, and Henry Morgan of Shewville Road announced they will take some form of court action against the permit. The Homeowners Association in the Highlands, the area adjacent to the new apartments, which was also developed by Lifetime, reportedly is considering some form of action against the new apartment permit. In addition to expressing concern about the water and sewer plans for the townhouses, Clark warned that apartments might in the future mean a great increase in towr.
