Many of the day care programs rely on the money they receive from Title 4A to keep their fees down. Of the 30 children who attend Kiddie Kollege Nursery School, seven families are on assistance, bringing in $7,000 from the Department of Social Services. This is a substantial proportion of the total budget of $20,000, according to Grace Simpson, director. If this money were to be eliminated, "We would have to alter our program, cut down on our staff or cut their salaries. We might even have to raise our prices.

I don't know if parents could afford any more," she said. IACC Nursery School would be faced with a similar problem. It would lose about $5,000 if the new proposals go into effect. If the parents were to pay according to income, they would pay as little as $9 50 per week on a sliding scale, but Social Services pays full cost per child, or $28.50 per week, according to Virginia Ainsley, director. Seventeen per cent of pupils in the nursery school receive subsidy, and 25 per cent in the afternoon kindergarten program receive subsidy.

"We would probably have to raise our rates, which would make our program 'middle We wouldn't be able to provide care for low income families," she said. The Ithaca City School District's pre-kindergarten program, now operating in five locations with 108 children, is also funded under Title 4A, but is in no danger of losing its funding immediately. It has a contract with the State Department of Education and Headstart running through June, but will have to find other funds to continue next year. Assemblyman Constance E. Cook (R-Ithacai is co-sponsoring a bill to continue day care subsidies for working parents who are trying to stay off welfare.

The bill, A6658. was introduced Tuesday by Chairman of the Social Services Committee Gordon Burroughs of Westchester County, and calls for $3.5 million in the New York State budget to replace part of the federal money to be withdrawn. "The Governor included $10 million in his budget for day care subsidies in New York City. I think it's just as important upstate, although our numbers are smaller," Mrs. Cook said.

"There will still be a necessity for local support," she added. "This is a perfect illustration of the dissension which can result from revenue-sharing. The federal government is giving more money and telling the localities to establish their own priorities. It's hard to decide mental health, drug education, day Mrs. Cook continued.

She said people should express their opinions on community priorities to their legislators. People who are concerned about the issue are being urged to write to their senators and representatives and to the Administrator of Social and Rehabilitation Service, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, 330 Independence S.W., Washington, D.C. 20201 by March 19.

reintroduction of an agriculture course at Groton High School occupied briefly the Groton i Annual Board of Education at a meeting Thursday evening. The board agreed to sell the standing hay on the 45-acre lot and retain the property because of its increasing value. Also affecting the decision is the fact that the Groton EFA Chapter is still active even though there is no ag course at the school. Although the possibility of reintroducing an ag course at the high school was mentioned, board members said they had had no requests to start the course again.

And in addition to a new representative, Ulysses will have at least one new town councilman. Golder's announcement had been expected by Republican leaders, who had met last month with Golder.

Golder, who has served three years on the board, said he is stepping down because of difficulty in meeting other obligations to his family and law The ag course was dropped from the curriculum this year because of the low number of students served and the budget squeeze. Robert Houston, board president and one of the biggest supporters of the ag program, said not more than 10 boys would be involved if the program were reintroduced and the program was too costly for so few. In other business: Dr. Wallace Holmes asked that there be some kind of report, oral or written from teachers when they return from conferences. Comments from other board members were, "We used to, before the negotiations took so much time "There is not enough time at regular board meetings.

The five or ten minutes always stretches toan hour or hour and a half" "It should be remembered that Dr. Holmes is new to the board and we have heard a lot of it." The question was resolved without formal action, on the administration promise to bring conference matters of interest before the board. District Principal Leslie Graves reported the elementary school boiler has been retubed and that a leak was found in the fire tube which is now being repaired. The board denied a request by the Gideon Society to distribute New Testaments in the school on a voluntary basis because of problems which could arise. -The board also set July 10 for the annual meeting.

DLfl East Side Hospital: What Would It Cost? The Tompkins County Planning Department has been asked to provide cost estimates for a hospital built on the east side of the lake "from a strictly physical planning point of view." The request was made by the Health Committee of the Tompkins County Board of Representatives with a view toward compiling as much relevant data as possible as they seek resolution of various alternatives for improved health facilities in Tompkins County. Architects King and King on Jan. 29 recommended that a new 383-bed facility be built on the present site, on the west side of Cayuga Lake. Commissioner of Planning Frank Liguori said "We won't make a recommendation, but simply supply the alternatives. Our role is to provide additional data as to what the cost might be on the other (east) side." Liguori said his department will not deal with the advantages and disadvantages of the two locations from the point of vie of health care.

renomination, and he is opposed by Rolf A. Holtkamp of Taughannock Blvd. Republican Ulysses Supervisor Bruce Payne is unopposed for renomination, as is Town Clerk Miss Alice Conover. In announcing his decision not to seek renomination as town of Ulysses Representative, Golder said; "I have spent a good many hours, day and night, serving as representative. I have a young family and a law practice, and I feel that I just do not have practice.

Four men will vie for nominations for two town councilman posts. They are the incumbent, J. Frederick Allen of Searsburg Arthur Fellows of Perry City Charles B. Smith of Krum Corners Rd. and Robert Herrick of South St.

Only Allen's term as a councilman expires, but the electorate will also nominate an additional councilman this year because Ulysses will become a first class town. The term of criminal court judge James E. Rice Jr. expires this year. He will seek renomination as a judge but, if elected, would no longer sit on the town board.

In first class towns, criminal court judges do not sit on the town board. Therefore, an additional councilman must be elected in November. All four councilman candidates will run at large, with the two candidates receiving the larger number of votes getting the nomination. The term of criminal court judge Dana Poyer does not expire until 1975. and he will remain on the town board until that date when a fourth town councilman will be elected.
