General Water Works, a wholly owned subsidiary of IU International of Philadelphia, bought the firms from a group of stockholders from New York and Pennsylvania, headed by Irving Isaac of Bronxville, said John M. Knight, General Water Works' vice president for the New York district. On June 12, 1979, Village of Owego voters rejected a referendum to buy the firms for no more than $1.35 million.

A newborn baby was left at this Delhi rectory Wednesday night. The mother has been hospitalized. Baby's mom was depressed Neighbors aid cold recluse JOHNSON CITY During this week's sub-freezing temperatures, a 66-year-old Johnson City man was depending on his gas stove for warmth and almost nothing for food until his neighbors intervened.

Patrons of Lorraine's, a village tavern across the street from the man's home, worried when they didn't see Paul E. Gudosky, a reclusive retired trucker, leave his for several days for his evening When they forced their way Tto his first-floor apartment about 6:30 p.m. iesday, they did not expect to find him shiverS in broken-down easy chair using three burners from his gas stove for heat. Gudosky had heat but did not have it turnedon. Hanging from the ceiling were cobwebs arid strewn across the floor were six cases of empty liquor bottles and enough to VM trash truck.

We.hadn't seen him for three or four days' and thought that somebody ought go check on him, said Lorraine Crompton, owner of the bar. "The sad part is that if no one had gone over there, he may have frozen to death. Nobody should live like that." A Union Volunteer Emergency Squad ambulance took Gudosky, suffering from malnutrition, to C.S. Wilson Memorial Hospital, where he was in fair condition yesterday. New police chief a lone wolf BINGHAMTON Binghamton's new police chief John Sejan Jr.

is considered something of a lone wolf in the Police Bureau. He belongs to no cliques but seems to get along with everyone. "I think I'm a loner. I don't belong to any groups," Sejan said. "I've always been a person who enjoys solitude." A 29-year veteran of the force, Sejan, 56, worked his way up through the ranks.

He was promoted to detective in 1964, lieutenant in 1970, captain in 1970 and assistant chief in 1977. His appointment as chief was officially announced yesterday by Mayor Juanita M. Crabb at a press conference in her City Hall office. Sejan twice passed the tests for police chief in 1978 and 1980 but was passed over both times by former Mayor Alfred J. Libous.

Sejan said he plans no major changes in the Police Bureau's operation. Nickel parking meters pulled ENDICOTT The pressure of rising costs has caught up with Endicott's nickel parking meters. David K. Brown, Endicott Parking Authority chairman, announced Wednesday that meters requiring 5 cents for 30-minute parking rights are being replaced with 10-cent meters. Brown said the doubling of the rate in all one-, two- and three-hour zones is the first increase in Endicott parking rates since the old penny-and-nickel meters were abandoned in 1968, nearly 14 years ago.

Brown said there will be no change in the nick-el-an-hour rate in eight-hour parking zones, where there are 25-cent meters that provide five hours of parking. He said there also is no change in the 15-cents-for-30-minutes fee in the lots at the rear of stores on both sides of Washington Avenue, where most motorists park free with stamps provided by merchants. Brown said rising maintenance, snow removal and salary costs in recent years forced the abandonment of nickel parking, a step taken several years ago by Binghamton and Johnson City. Aside from the change oi managers, no otner personnel changes have been made. Company officials said no changes in operations are planned.

The Owego works pumps 655 million gallons per year. Route 38 safety survey to be done OWEGO It will probably be several weeks before the state Department of Transportation is able to do a survey to see how safe Route 38 is. near the new Tioga County Social Services Building, a state official said. Richard Edwards, a traffic engineer for the department's Hornell office, said some of the items his department will consider are the speed limit on the stretch, the number of points of access, traffic uses and the size of the shoulder. Also to be considered are pavement markings and sight distances from the highway.

All these factors can indicate whether the 55-mph speed limit at the site is safe. County officials, employees and other residents raised questions about the safety of the section of the road in December after the new build-ingopened. Edwards and others in his office will be performing the survey. While they are taking the survey, transportation department officials will also try to see if ways exist for people to park near a building without having to cross the road. Edwards said his department surveys between 600 to 700 sites per year, Edwards said.

lieved to have given birth to the baby girl in the house without medical assistance. Police were still withholding the name of the woman because they said her parents had yet to be notified of the incident. Delaware County Undersheriff Richard A. Miller said the 19-year-old doesn't want her parents to know about what occurred. Authorities said the infant's umbilical chord was cut near the body and had not been tied.

Police said that she was from outside the Delaware County region, but declined to name her home town. No criminal charges against the woman have been filed. The woman is hospitalized in Delaware Valley Hospital in Walton. Investigators were at the suspect's bedside in an attempt to piece together the incident. The woman is said to have been in stable condition in the hospital.

The newborn infant was disovered outside the St. Peter's Catholic Church rectory about 11 p.m. Wednesday by the Rev. Edward J. Ryan.

The Catholic clergyman is one of two local ministers who keep occasional office hours at the Campus Ministry at Delhi College. Counseling services are, available to students through the Cam- pus Ministry on the third floor of Bush Hall on the college campus. Results of an autopsy performed in Binghamton yesterday were expected to be released today. The tentative cause of the cause of death was listed as exposure, said Wilbur. "The cause of death, particularly with such a small child, is pretty hard to establish," said Malcolm C.

Hughes, Delaware County district attorney. The infant, who was less than 12 hours: old, was left at the rectory wrapped in towels and a Delhi College T-shirt. Police said the infant may have been; exposed to the cold temperatures more than three hours Wore being found by Ryan. A note found with the baby explained that the mother regretted having to, leave her child at the rectory entrance, but she knew it would have a good Chris-. -tian upbringing.

1 Efforts to revive the baby at the recto ry Wednesday night were futile. The in-, fant was pronounced dead at O'Connor Hospital in Dehli shortly after midnight. Police took the mother into custody 7 late Wednesday night. By JEFF PLATSKY DOROTHY C. CLUTE and MARCIA KOZUBEK DELHI The woman whom police say left her newborn baby out in the cold Wednesday was described as "depressed and withdrawn" after the death of her daughter.

And, members of the family with whom the woman, a student at State Agricultural and Technical College, was living said they had no kno knowledge of the pregnancy. "The question had been raised," said Arthur Maxwell 34 Clinton St. "We really had no way of knowing." Maxwell said he makes it a point not to Ery into the private lives of his student oarders. The woman, a second-year hotel and business management student, was the only boarder living with the Maxwells and their children this semester. He characterized the woman as "deeply troubled." He said his own children are upset by the incident and hoped that they would consider it a lesson: If they are ever in a jam, they should put their trust in their parents.

Delaware County Medical Examiner Harry J. Wilbur said the woman is be Haitian trip won't be fun Packer nurse is part of hard-working medical team Chenango Lerhman stumps in Norwich NORWICH Republican gubenatorial candidate Lewis E. Lehrman recalls canvassing Norwich drumming up a site for his Rite Aid drug store in the mid-1960s. Yesterday, he was in Norwich canvassing for votes. Speaking to a group of civic and Republican party officials, Lehrman said, "I am probably the only GOP candidate who owns a business in Chenango County." Lehrman began his drug store chain in Binghamton in 1963.

Now it has several stores throughout the upstate area. "I know upstate New York," Lehrman said. Lehrman's speech yesterday recited the same litany of the state's ills he has used since entering the campaign earlier this month. "I will restore the hope of prosperity and a chance for work. My goal is a job for every New Yorker who wants work," Leherman said.

"I've made no deals. I owe no favors. I offer nothing but service," the candidate promised. The mission team has been able to find a per-manent building for the hospital and will try to leave some medical supplies behind this year, Greene said. The Haitian government has been helpful to the team, Greene said.

Meanwhile, Greene is also trying to organize a medical mission team from the Southern Tier to assist the Midwest team next year. Also planned is another three-week hospital September. About five persons from the area are interest- ed in going to Haiti next year, Greene said. Minor and another Robert Packer registered nurse, Jeanette DiSito, have been especially helpful. On Minor's last trip, an outbreak of conjunc-tivis, an eye disease, blinded many because there wasn't enough medication, Minor said.

The dis- ease is easy to treat with proper medication, she said. The Haitians were told to put lemon juice on their eyes to help kill some of the bacteria and that helped some, she said. Greene, who has worked at Robert Packer for three months, said she is grateful to the hospital staff for allowing her to go to Haiti and helping her organize a medical team from this area. The hospital, Southern Tier Welding Supply and the Bank of New York Vestal branch have al- -ready donated supplies to the mission team, Greene said. When Greene returns she plans to discuss her experiences with area groups.

Anyone wishing more information or to donate supplies to the non-profit, non-denominational project can call Greene at 687-1971 or Joy Campbell at 625-2966. School chief will speak ONEONTA The League of Women Voters of the Oneonta Area will present Lowell Foland, the newly appointed superintendent of the city school system, in a program on education finance next week. The session is scheduled for 8 p.m. Wednesday in the United Methodist Church, 66 Chestnut St. The program is part of the League's effort to reevaluate the state's system of school financing.

By CHERYLL CONNOLLY OWEGO The work will be hard, the hours long. And while she expects there will be much poverty and pain, Linda A. Greene, 32, is excited about her trip to Haiti. Next week Greene, 32, will leave her new home on Day Hollow Road for a 10-day visit as a member of a medical relief team. "We need a lot of supplies, money and any kind of medical supplies," Greene said.

"In a day and age when people are just looking out for themselves, we re out to help mankind. That's what it's all about." Greene, a licensed practical nurse at Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, is joining a group of medical people and others who donate their time for three weeks a year to provide free hospital care to Haitians. Sixty-two people will participate in this year's hospital. The mission project began after a 1974 visit to Haiti by Dr. James Diller of the Toledo Clinic in Ohio, Greene said.

At that time Diller went to Haiti to take care of the cleft lip of a friend's son. Seeing the need for medical help, he organized the mission program. Greene, who recently moved to Owego with her husband Stanley, 33, became involved with the mission while working at St. Luke's Hospital in Toledo. Haiti has about 5 million people and 1,000 doctors.

Ninety percent of the population is illiterate and most are poor, she said. The average daily income for Haitians is $3.20 per day. The tiny nation's few hospitals cannot service all its inhabitants as they are faced with inadequate medical supplies and staffs, Greene said. No social assistance programs are available in Haiti, said Loretta B. Minor, Foster Road, Barton.

Minor lived in Haiti with her parents from 1960 to 1977. A registered nurse at Packer, Minor last returned to Haiti in October 1980. "There is a lot of tuberculosis, malaria, typhoid and lots of tropical diseases we don't have. People just don't realize how bad the conditions are. People starve to death.

You cannot grasp it until you've been there," Minor said. "Tne mission program just started mushrooming," Greene said, describing how it has grown over the years. Volunteers pay for all their own travel expenses and room and board. Their stays vary from one to three weeks. Last year's volunteers worked from 6 a.m.

to 8 p.m. or 9 p.m., Greene said. This year the mission team is going to try and stop working at about 6 p.m. Greene will be going to Haiti early to set up for triage setting up supplies and informing people the team is coming.
