East Lyme EAST LYME A free immunization clinic for all youths through high school age will be conducted by the East Lyme Nursing Association Wednesday from 1 to 4 p.m. at its Grand Street office. Immunizations will be given against diptheria, whooping cough, tetanus, measles, German measles and polio. A 25-cent fee will be charged for the tuberculin tine test. In announcing the clinic, association officials said a wife ran the Old Show Stop summer theater in Canton.

Somerset said he will work at the station one or two days a week, but most operations will be in the hands of Thomas Baxter, Mercury's vice president and a former New York City radio advertising man who has moved to Essex. Baxter will also become a partner in Mercury. As to what is in store for his staff, Somerset said, "What we can't do with money, we hope to do with energy and talent." Possible; Budget Vote Set tions from the Thames Broadcasting Corp. approved last month by the Federal Communications Commission was the first purchase by the three part- ners in the Mercury Broad- casting Corp.

in New York, Somerset said. He said the corporation would not change programing on WTYD, which "has beautiful programing." Raise Age Level Somerset said WNLC, however, has been playing music for teen-agers in the daytime for the past two years, and one hope for increased sales is to raise the age level of that audience. "We want to change the music, play for young people in their 20's and 30's the music they grew up with," he said. He said WNLC may still cater to teen-aged listeners in the evening hours. Changing the basic music programing is easy, he said.

It is the proposed changes in the other programing such as broadcasting documentaries on local news issues that will take profits and time. He said no editorials were planned "for some time until we really know our way around." Staff the Same Somerset said he had no plans to change the staff at the station. Paul Bernardo, sales manager, has been promoted to general sales manager, and Miss Donna Collins has been promoted to local sales manager, he said. Somerset said he was born in Boston and has worked in New York and "all kinds of places." He moved last year to Washington, but had lived in Connecticut before, in the early 1950's when he and his It also owns Fairchild Publi-caions, publisher of Women's Wear Daily in New York City. Ratings Although for the two years since he left Capital he has traveled as a ratings consult ant for radio stations across the country, he said he sees no need for a ratings war in the New London area.

He said businessmen who buy advertising on WNLC and on --its nearest competitor, WSUB-AM in Groton, "are people who know which radio station they prefer. They aren't going to jump for a few percentage points of the listening audience the way advertisers in Boston or New York will." He said he believed a ratings survey was being conducted in the area, "but not by us." He said it is "too difficult to say" how many listeners WNLC has.

WHALEN NEW LONDON One of the three partners who just purchased radio stations WNLC-AM and WTYD-FM for $1.1 million said Friday there will be changes in the 40-year old New London AM station but not radical changes. Joseph Somerset of Washington, a partner in the Mercury Broadcasting said he plans first to change WNLC to "more adult music" during the day, and then to later expand the news department. "I don't know how a newspaperman will take this," Somerset said during an interview, "but we want to eventually become the best source for all kinds of information in the New London area." But Somerset said expanding the WNLC news department from its two-man staff would first depend on making money. Somerset is a former senior vice president of Capital Cities Communications which owns WTNH-TV, Channel 8, in New Haven, and radio stations and newspapers in Texas and Illinois. Pumpkin NEW LONDON -Thames Science Center plans to sponsor "The Great Pumpkin Derby" May 16.

The idea, stolen from East Haddam residents, is to help raise money at a plant sale and then to have a little fun, said Robert Joslin, center director. The rules are not final as to whether the contest simply will be for youngsters or include adults. The center will hand out pumpkin seeds next weekend and will offer prizes in the fall for the largest i pumpkin grown from those seeds. The idea came from Dr. Bruce Hunter, a center board member from East Haddam where community members have been running a pumpkin derby for about 18 years, complete with annual dinners and inspections of pumpkin patches.

The Thames Center's derby will not be that formal Joslin said, but it should help make the plant sale popular and it fits in with the center's purpose of promoting environmental education. The sale will be from 10 Raise Seed Money PCZ Adopts Public's Ideas Bill Funding Dispatch Area fiphv WflltlP LULIto IVUUIkZ Colchester COLCHESTER A bill to Youth Charged in Flag Theft on gardening. The sale is an outgrowth of another fund-raiser. The center last winter sold 100,000 pounds of bird seed during three sales, raising about $3,000 for its programs. The center has 850 mem for a Town Council meeting.

Police said the youth was traveling to his home from Groton at 1:45 a.m. when he took the colorful red, white and blue nylon flag. Police said he told them he took it because he "thought it was pretty." After taking the flag and keeping it in his room, police said, Perry read newspaper accounts of the theft and started worrying he'd get caught.

The flag was a gift from the state to replace a flag stolen last year from the same flagpole, Mayor J.

Alfred Clark said. The flag will not be returned to the pole immediately, said Constable Thomas Carson because police think other attempts would be made to steal it. Carson said Clark is planning a way to secure the flag on the pole.

GREEK BEGINNING Parchment comes from a Greek word meaning Perga-mum, the name of an ancient Greek city where the paper was first used. Agency Fedus said he believes he will hit the mark which would be a 100 per cent collection for this year, but the finance board figured on a 110 per cent collection, he said, depending on heavy collection of back taxes. But, residents still are feeling the effect of the 1974 conversion to the uniform year, which required extra tax payments and a total collection of $2.33 million that year, Fedus said. "Some are still paying for that and back taxes are hard to collect," he said. There are 400 to 500 delinquent taxpayers, finance board Chairman Jon Maj-kowski said, who owe the town about $350,000.

The PZC revised regulations to allow taller buildings with a special permit. Residents had suggested it would be impossible to build certain types of boats inside a structure only 20 feet tall. The PZC also revised the proposed zoning map to make Hancox Street a waterfront commercial zone and not strictly residential. PZC Chairman Victor Coogan also said several small clerical errors were committed on the part of the school system officer.

Official Says Town Underpaid Education Grants Ledyard LEDYARD A 17-year-old youth was charged with fourth-degree larceny Friday after he allegedly shin-nied up the flagpole in front of Town Hall Wednesday morning and stole the bicentennial flag that was flying there, police said. William Perry of 43 Iron Street, charged at 8:45 a.m.

Friday, is scheduled May 21 in Common Pleas Court, Groton. Town officials first became aware the flag was missing Wednesday night when they met at Town Hall school auditorium to raise funds for the Mitchell College Alumni Association. To round off a week's schedule that included City Council-approval of the city budget, snags in talks with the police and fire unions, a pact between paid and volunteer firemen and preparation of bid documents for construction of the city's new $22-million sewerage treatment plant, Driscoll signed two more proclamations.

Assistant School Supt.

Clarence Coogan said Friday. Coogan said the check for $32,229 has been received by the town for services rendered in 1974-75 for residents who received special education instruction. The town now has received its total grant $218,324 for the 1974-75 school year. The report from state auditors Ernst and Ernst had said the town should receive $186,095. That total had been paid to the town by March 25, 1976.

Problem Area The average per-pupil cost was computed at $1,266 and the problem lies mainly, Coogan said, in the number of pupils used to figure out the amount of the grant. The Ernst and Ernst firm inaccurately computed the number at 14 Waterford dents receiving special education aid, although in its report it at. times used the state's computed number of 39, Coogan said. The town had figured the number at 82, because of inclusion in the figures of Seaside Regional Center residents, due to lack of directions on the state forms. Coogan said he and two five times that the state would need to revise and consolidate the forms used for the special education programs and services.

Balling said, of the Paris couturiers to send a doll-sized model of a dress ordered from him. The small dress usually was kept under a glass dome in a place of honor in the parlor. Four generations have been involved in collecting the dolls, Mrs. Balling said. The collection began when her grandmother accompanied her astronomer husband to China in 1920 and brought back a Chinese doll.

When Mrs. Balling inherited the collection about 20 years ago, there were 300 dolls. Since then, she and her husband, who travels on business, have added to it. Besides collecting, Mrs. Balling says exhibiting is the most enjoyable part of owning the dolls.

Since that time, she's made the trip six times in different vehicles.

As it now stands, the budget adds up to about $6.4 million, including $4.8 million for costs of operating the town's school system. Approval of this budget would mean a 0.9-mill increase, council Chairman Edward Shepherd said. The town's present tax rate is 46 mills. In addition, the council has scheduled a June 1 referendum for the voters to either accept or reject the' budget as it stands after residents make the reductions, if any, that they wish to on May 24.
