Resignation is accepted At Beavercreek Twp. trustees' off-week Wednesday check signing session last night, trustees accepted the resignation of Darrell Brown from Zoning Commission. According to township Clerk Don Haber, Brown resigned so there would be no reflection on his integrity from any seeming conflict of interests. Brown is an area developer and had been chairman of Zoning Commission.

The question of possible conflict of interest on the part of some township officials was raised by Trustee Harley J. Coon at the July 27 trustees meeting. Trustee Frederick Berta stated at that meeting he personally was not aware of any instance in which the officials presumably, in question had not disqualified themselves when a conflict occurred. He said further that he felt i a backgrounds of the individuals in question added to the expertise of their offices. In question by Coon's remarks, apparently, were Brown, Ed Phillips, Zoning Board of Appeals member, and Berta.

Beavercreek businessman Scott Hadley was appointed to fill out Brown's term through June 30, '1978. Commission will have to elect a new chairman. Robert Switzer Services for Uonert L.

Over the years she has become a familiar sight and children know her by name. Mrs. Gwen Dyas has been the librarian at Cedarville since 1970. A small built, graying woman, she looks just like a storybook-version of a librarian. She has transformed the small building on Main St.

into a reflection of her philosophy and outlook on life. Miniature stuffed animals dot the shelves already overladen with periodicals and books. Smiling reproductions of yellow "happy faces" are prominently displayed. "I think a library should invite browsing. The atmosphere should be bright and filled with sunshine," Mrs.

Dyas said. Since becoming the librarian, she has increased the readership of the community and the distinction of having one of the largest children's sections in the county. "I must be the only one in the area that distributes more children's books than adult literature. Although I am glad so many children visit, I would really like to see a larger adult book selection and more of the older residents," she said. NOT SO LONG ago Mrs.

Dyas started something new. Every Tuesday she and her daughter, a student at Cedar Cliff Elementary School, load up the family auto with books and travel tiie eight miles to Clifton. Mrs. Dyas sets up her "book mobile" in the yard of the old school, stations herself and daughter on one of the benches and waits for her "little customers." "Here of late I have been running out of books, 50 just isn't enough anymore 1 staff comments on top agencies By IIANDY WYNN OAILV GAZETTE Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON Government agencies generally are too slow in resolving the problems of individuals, and the delays often lead to frustration, members of Rep. ClareiceJ.

Brown's slaff have told the White House. The remarks came in response to a questionnaire circulated by the Carter Administration as part of its government reorganization program. All 535 members of the House and Senate were asked which programs cause the most problems, and which are most efficient. Four Brown staff members two here and one each in Springfield and Marion said the Social Security Administration's Bureau of Disability Insurance is one of the agencies that causes the most problems for Brown's constituents. They said it takes too long to process claims, often loses paperwork submitted, and does not make clear to applicants how to qualify for benefits.

The disability bureau, located in Baltimore, makes final decisions on all applications for disability benefits. Applications are collected from district offices throughout the nation and Social Security contracts with state agencies; such as vocational rehabilitation for medical information used in judging claims. Social Security's retirement benefits program, which was not cited by the Brown staffers as a source of complaints, has a more decentralized decision-making process, with claims processed in the district offices. OTHER AGENCIES cited for inefficiency by the Brown staff members include the Community Services Administration antipoverty agency, which they said misuses funds and is inefficient at all levels, the Food Stamp program, and the Office of Workmen's Compensation Programs. The Workmen's compensation office, along with the Social Security disability bureau, has been among (he agencies most widely criticized by congressmen wlio have completed questionnaires.

The Brown staff members also said they have received numerous complaints about delays in processing applications for FHA and VA loans. Thoy said the federal flood insurance program, the Community Development grants awarded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, nnd the Veterans' Administration's educational benefits program are among the most confusing to constituents and local governments because of complex regulations and a lack of information on how to qualify for aid. Constituents have frequently complained, the staff members said, about regulations permitting food stamps to be used for non-nutritious items and about the granting of stamps to those who they believe should not qualify. Staff members said they have found the State Department's passport the Small Business Administration, and the HUD individual housing program to be the most responsive government agencies, guess. It makes me feel good to see all the kids A former telephone operator, Mrs.

Dyas has no formal library training According to her, the family moved to Cedarville searching for a simpler form of living "devoid" of crime and fear. "My family loves Cedarville. I wanted to do something worthwhile when we moved here. My husband opened the barbershop and well, I applied to run the library. It's a great way to meet people and stay in contact with the younger adults and children," she said.

After several years of requesting that additional space be provided for the library, it will expand into larger quarters within the next year. "I REALLY can't wait. The expansion will mean space for needed books and other equipment. Plus, there will be room for more tables and chairs so students can study in the library instead of getting a book and going somewhere else," Mrs. Dyas explained.

The large room that stands between the present library and the former offices of the police department has been approved for library use. dFI Ivtucle Omo Presbyterian Homes has been providing secure-and carefree living fox senior citizens for more than 50 years We tell of our concept of full-service retirement living IP a book called THE OTHER SIDE 'OF SIXTY. 1 his- 1 book includes chapters on clioos- ing a retirement community, the i case foi trip non-profit hurnc, fi- nuncial arrangements, and rfiuch more.
