The city-owned asphalt plant, which ceased operation in 1968, has been adopted by a coalition of Yorkville community groups who plan to convert it into a three-story sports and arts cen ter for the public, parochial and private schools the area. Praise From Beverly The huge parabola of reinforc ed concrete, built in 1944, is so premeditated," she added. "It is just a simple matter of ignorance." Addressing the youngsters, Mrs. Klarberg told them that when approaching a dog, for example, the hand must be extended slowly to the nose. "Then you let the dog smell your hand," she explained.

"Dogs have a fabulous sense of smell. Dogs cyn actually tell what you are all about simply by the smell of vour hand." How fo Pick Up Cats Another abuse she discussed was the manner in which some people pick up cats. She said most people rarely used two hands to pick up cats and many lift cats by their necks. She was joined by another teacher, Susan Sehroer, who taught the children, who were aged 5 to 14, how to handle, feed and hold household pets. They also told the children about pet licensing, medical attention and services available at the ASPCA, an agency that has come under increasing attack of late.

And at the end of the program, it seemed that most of the youngsters were quite careful in their treatment of the turtles, a monkey and ather animals brought along by theASPCA for she demonstrations. By HUGH WYATT Although 3 3 year old Juan Cepeda takes a fancy to dcgs, he has frequently brought out the beast in man's best friend. Humane society officials said he used the wrong approach in seeking such friendships. Brenda Wadler, 13, thinks the world of cats, but she too failed to used the right technique and the little tykes have often responded like jungle tigers. Officials of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals say such errors are not limited to children when it conies to the care and treatment of pets.

Similar mistakes occur among most adults as well. So, yesterday, the ASPCA sent a team of animal experts and others down to the Henry Street Settlement at 301 Henry St. to attempt to help prevent what one official called "widespread abuse" of pets. How fo Approach a Dog "It's unfortunate, but most people don't know anything about the care, of animals, including feeding them," said Emily Klarberg, an educational aide for the ASPCA. "But the abuse is not door solicitation and the Samuel H.

Beverly Moss Spatt, landmarks commission chairman, praised the group for its "resourcefulness and great energy" in creating a badly needed center no cost to the city. Three proposed Brooklyn landmarks supported by several speakers at the hearing yester-dav were the Elias Hubbard Ryder House, 1926 E. 28th the Stoothoff-Baxter-Kouwen-hoven House, 1640 build in 1747 and still privately owned; and the Old Gravesend Cemetery, which dates to the Revolutionary War. A spokesman for Brooklyn Borough President Sebastian Leone urged landmark designation for the parachute jump at Coney Island, observing that it was known as "Brooklyn's beacon to the sea." But city Parks Commissioner Martin Lang opposed the designation, arguing that the city has no funds to maintain or protect it.

Pier Put Forward Conflicting testimony also came on the proposed designation of Pier A at Battery Park City. The pier, built in 1SS6 and still used by the Fire Department's Harbor Company, houses the clock and bell tower memorial to World War I victims. Its designation was urged by several architectural groups, the National Park Service and the State Office of Parks and Preservation. It was opposed by a spokesman for the Battery Park City Authority, who said that the city's lease with the authority for the area that includes the Pier A site would have to be altered and the authority compensated for any loss of rental space value. strong that three weeks of assault by a wrecking ball failed to knock it down.

The Neighborhood Committee for the Asphalt Green, which raised funds for playing fields and basketball courts next to the plant that have been used by 45 schools and 100 other youth groups in the past two years, now plans to build a gymnasium, theater and arts center inside the building.

Isolated Room The patient would be escorted to an isolated room, where his blood pressure and pulse rate would be taken by a specially trained nurse and physician. An electrocardiogram would follow and be displayed on a TV screen, which shows "each and every heartbeat of the patient," Schluger said. Schluger said that "death from heart attack is the major medical emergency confronting this city and most of the 26,000 heart-related deaths occur because the victims do not receive prompt medical attention."

Joseph Schluger, chairman of the association's cardiac care co'mmittee, at a press conference and demonstration at St. Luke's Hospital.

Abraham Beame at City Hall. They were cited for their work in the program, which is sponsored by the Department for the Aging. Mrs. Beame, noting that she was a grandparent herself, said she knows what a wonderful feeling it is to experience the love of a grandparent for a child. Gratifying Success The foster grandparents spend four hours a day, five days a week in one of seven New York City-area institutions.

The children whom they care for include the abused, battered and abandoned as well as the emotionally disturbed, retarded and handicapped. The history of the three-year-old program has shown that in many instances the foster grandparents have succeeded with the children where everyone else has failed. In one instance, foster grandparent David Paullay had an 8-year-old autistic child who was having difficulty speaking. When everyone else had just about given up on the child, Paullay managed to get her to say several words in English and one or two in Hebrew. The oldest grandparent to be honored was August Wendelin, 87, who has been in the program for two years.

Mollie Mandell, 75, said that since she has become a foster grandparent, she has been repaid a thousandfold. "Since becoming a foster about eight years ago, my life was very lonely. Since becoming a foster grandparent, I have gained new self-respect and gratification. I have a purpose in life and look forward to tomorrow to share my love with these children," Mrs. Mar ell said.

George Figliolo, the only man enrolled in the program at Manhattan's New York Foundling Hospital, said: "Children know those who really care. They will rush with open arms to those who give them love and attention. They want to share their experiences with you and to call you Grandpa." Other institutions involved in the program are the Children's Center in Manhattan, Queens Children's Hospital, the Manhattan Development Center, the University Settlement House's Head Start Program, Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center in Brooklyn, and United Cerebral Palsy of Queens Day Care Center. The program is funded through a five-year grant from ACTION, the federal agency covering the Older American Volunteer Prozrait. Buyers Bewaring Consumer fraud complaints leaped by 43 in Westchester County last year, notably in automobile warranty violations, auto repairs, improper business practices, home repairs and false advertising, District Attorney Carl Vergari said yesterday.

A summary showed a total of 3,223 complaints in 1975 as compared to 2,260 the year before. Restitution to consumers was up 57, i from $100,000 in 1974 to $157,000 last year, Vergari reported. He attributed the increase to greater public awareness of consumer fraud, the economic slowdown and a step-up of activities by his consumer frauds bureau. John Randazzo.
