POST-STAR Budget Vote Set In Queensbury and Times Glens Falls, New York Saturday, June 10, 1972 Orthodox Leader To Attend Haffi A $4.4 million budget for 1972-73 will be decided upon by Queensbury School District voters at the annual meeting Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the high school. The budget totals $4,403,262, reflecting an increase of $287,000 over the 1971-72 appropriations. Passage of the budget will mean a tax rate increase of $4.50 per thousand of assessed valuation.

King Nixes Anti-Busing Rep. Carleton J. King of Saratoga Springs was among the dissenters Thursday when the House approved a $21.3 billion education bill that contains the strongest anti-busing provision ever approved by Congress.

1 )Mffn imu iBiiiiiiiiaiii Priest Honored By 2,500 More than 2,500 parishioners and friends from many cities in Alabama and Florida were present at a reception tendered recently in Montgomery, to a Glens Falls priest, the Rev. Father Joseph Toomey, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. The group included clergy of all denominations, and many state and civic leaders. The celebration and reception was held in Father Toomey's parish church of St. Mary's and in the church auditorium, in Montgomery.

Father Toomey, a former resident of Glens Falls and a graduate of St. Mary's Academy attended Siena College, Loudonville, St. Bernard's Seminary, Rochester, and St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, Maryland, from which he was ordained in May, 1947. After his ordination, Father Toomey served as an assistant in parishes in Mobile and Birmingham, Alabama and in 1954, was given his first pastorate at Montgomery, Alabama.

Once there he established a new parish and in the course of his 18 years, has built one of the largest parish complexes in the state of Alabama, consisting of a church, rectory, auditorium, convent, and a school with an enrollment of approximately 350 pupils. In recognition of Father Toomey's achievements, Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama issued a proclamation commending Father Toomey and declared May 21 Father Joseph Toomey Day in Montgomery, as a tribute to Father Toomey because of a drop in the equalization rate which will cost some $70,000 in state aid. Copies of the budget are now available at the school business office in the elementary school building.

School baard elections will precede the annual meeting from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the high school. Three con-didates Mrs. Jane Caffry, incumbent; Merrill Lawrence and W. Dean Boecher have filed petitions for two seats on the board.

Graham, vice-president of marketing. Also greeting the train was Edward J. Ryan, general agent of the office in Fort Edward. 1 Ryan noted for reporters prior to the train's arrival that less than 20 years ago 10 passenger trains stopped each day at Fort Edward. He said two sleepers went through each day and one sleeping car was left on the Fort Edward siding, loaded and taken to New York each night.

Since the last passenger train passed through Fort Edward on April 30, 1971, only three northbound and three southbound freights go through the once busy Fort Edward yards. Commissioner Parker said he felt the advantages of the Albany to Montreal route were made evident to the Amtrak officials. "We are hopeful," he said, "that these clear-cut advantages of the Albany- Montreal routing will cause Amtrak officials to look favorably upon the New York State routing, and that today's special trip will demonstrate the comfort, safety and scenic benefits of this route." He cited some of the advantages as a shorter distance than the New England route, greater safety because of full traffic control systems, and better expected usage. The train had previously stopped at Saratoga Springs, went on to stops at Whitehall, Rouses Point and Pittsburgh and was slated to arrive in Montreal by 4:45 p.m. It was to return to Albany last night.
