"I will never negotiate with Lodi again," he said, adding that he believed the refusal by the Board to approve the concert was the result of pressure from Borough officials who didn't want to face the traffic and parking problems a large-scale turnout would create. sold at music stores in Bergen and Passaic Counties. Priced from $3.50 to $5.50 the majority of the tickets had been purchased at the Record Casino, Paterson, Luciano said, but several hundred also had been sold at record stores in Passaic, Hackensack, and Englewood.

"Refunds will be made at the store they were purchased at," he said, "or by mailing the tickets to Box 72. Lodi."

A new station of Moonachie Avenue and Park Place West will be torn down will be built at Moonachie and Anderson Avenues. Progress Catches Up With Rail Station, Adelung's Historic Buildings To Bow Out Lodi A recently instituted program to train preschool youngsters from underprivileged homes is being financed entirely by federal funds, according to Mayor James Cuccio.

The Mayor denied charges at last night's Borough Council meeting that Project Head Start would cost local taxpayers $12,000. He said that this was the Borough's share of the $51,000 total cost but that it would be met by providing services and facilities and would not require a cash outlay. He said the regional director of the Community Action Program, which administers the funds for the project, had assured the Council that no 1 sledders who would get a running start at the top of Moonachie hill and try to glide across the tracks on their Flexible Flyers. The Hotel, a big, 2-story affair with a cupola, surrounded by a porch, was built in a strategic position for weary commuters. People who stayed there may have had the experience of seeing John Adelung and his team of white horses drawing the hook and ladder up the hill to the firehouse.

Metzger said he was hoping for at least a marker at the site of the present station. But how do you plant a marker in the middle of a busy thoroughfare? boldt Street and Union Avenue, was also torn down to make way for the new Municipal Building. Residents did rally, however, to save the Henry Brinkerhoff house, built in 1792, and it was converted into the Memorial Library. But while the rail station and the hotel, which is now Modern Woodcraft building, may not be the oldest sites in the Borough, they do have a colorful past. Painted traditional railroad yellow, and outlined in forest green, the station, with its pot-bellied stove, was once the daily meeting place of regular commuters to New York City.

And it was also the goal of all By SANDRA ATWATER Staff Writer Wood-Ridge In the 1800s a group of townsmen built a railroad station meant to survive blizzards, floods, and themselves, but unfortunately not the coming of the Route 17 jughandle. Consequently, the rail station and another historic site the former Adelung's Hotel near the depot, will be razed. It's humiliating enough for these historic buildings, both built around 1870, that they should be torn down, but what's worse is that nobody cares. "I guess we're a bit phlegmatic about preserving Saddle Brook The Township Committee has asked the Board of Education for a joint meeting in an effort to assure the safety of children walking to and from school. Acting on a motion by Committeeman Thomas Zanga-ra at a work session last night, the Committee has asked the Board to meet with it next Monday night to find a solution to some of the safety hazards children experience walking to school.

The action came as a result of a letter from the Board to the Council asking for sidewalks in various areas of the township. "Since the Board does not bus the children any longer," Zangara said, "there are obvious safety problems which must be taken care of." He pointed out that in many areas of the community there are no sidewalks, thus forcing the children to walk in the streets or on private property. He also said that students sometimes take short cuts through wooded areas or across railroad tracks and that this should be stopped before an accident occurs. The Board canceled all busing about a year ago when it was trying to settle a financial crisis. Since that time students have had to walk to school or find some other method of transportation.

"We just can't go building sidewalks all over the place," Zangara commented. "I don't think that it is the Committee's responsibility to handle this solely. The Board doesn't bus the students so the problem should also be their." Parents Cite Road Perils Lodi Complaints by parents that pupils attending the new Hilltop Elementary School must walk along hazardous roadways will get immediate and personal attention from the Borough Council. Councilmen John Bombace and Thomas De Somma told Mrs. Millie Woods of 237 Paterson Avenue they will walk the route used by pupils this week to see if they can determine a safer way to reach the School.

Bombace invited Mrs. Woods to join them. Mrs. Woods, who said she was spokesman for a large group of mothers, said the chief problem was the lack of sidewalks on Woodside Avenue. She said, "I know that asking for sidewalks is like asking for the Moon, but as an alternative would it be possible to have crossing guards posted along Woodside Avenue?" Mayor James Cuccio directed Borough Manager Albert H.

Branca to investigate this possibility, and also to contact the Hasbrouck Heights Council about the possibility of putting sidewalks and caution signs on the east side of Woodside Avenue which divides the two communities. Bombace said, "I think we fhould also get in touch with property owners between Bell Avenue and Kipp Street and see if they would agree to install sidewalks in order to protect the lives of children." The Borough Attorney advised the Councilmen that sidewalks could become mandatory if the governing body passed an ordinance to that effect. Resident John Paci urged the Council to establish a mandatory physical health and eye examination for all persons employed as crossing guards. He said his grandson was struck by a car while in the presence of a school marshal last year. Freezer Ad Drew 25 Calls Apparently there's a ready-made market in this area for nsed refrigerator-freezers, as Mrs.

By JAMES McDOWELL Staff Writer Lodi Ron Luciano is among the 2,200 Bergen and Passaic County music lovers disappointed at the cancellation of the Temptations' high school Happening. He is disappointed to the tune of $10,000.

Luciano said yesterday he has spent this much promoting the ill-fated concert, and that he isn't planning any action to try and recoup his losses. The first indication that the Happening might not came last month when the Board of Education refused Luciano permission to stage the concert at the high school stadium Sunday, October 8. He had since been looking for another site. The bearded promoter and disc jockey claimed the Board had earlier given him informal approval and on that basis he had begun an expensive promotion campaign, printed and distributed tickets, and signed contracts with the performers. The event was dealt the death blow yesterday however when a representative of the Temptations notified Luciano that because of a member's illness the rock-group was canceling its engagements for the next few weeks.

"I guess I'll just have to chalk up the loss to experience," Luciano said philosophically. "We live and learn." He said full refunds would be made on the more than 2,200 tickets that have been Surrey Gets Some Heat East Paterson Mayor Albert St. George directed the superintendent of the Surrey Manor Apartments to remain on the job last night until all apartments had heat. By 9 o'clock at least some heat was furnished to most apartments. St.

George, the Board of Health and police received numerous complaints yesterday as temperatures dipped to 45, which was lower than the weekend when many apart ments also were without heat The management of the Surrey Manor Apartments is in the process of installing new boilers to replace the old ones. About 60 tenants along Iozia Terrace which is serviced by Boiler 5, the troublesome boiler which caused five explosions one day last winter, were without heat throughout the day. Superintendent Kazimeirz Kaminski fired the boiler but apparently air locks prevented the heat from going into apartments. Only one of two pumps at Boiler 4 was in operation, but it was sufficient to send some heat into the apartments. Marcus Ritter, of Elmwood Terrace Inc.

of New York which owns the apartments was present in the afternoon and was told of the complaints by police. A hearing, at which time public officer Angelo Powella will determine if the 296 unit apartments are substandard, has been set for tomorrow night in the Municipal Building. Board Awaits School Report Hasbrouck Heights The delay of a report on future school needs could prove costly to the Borough, but Board of Education trustees have agreed not to penalize their consultant Dr. Henry Rissetto. Dr.

Rissetto was retained by the Borough in November to study whether the school system needed to be expanded, and his report was due this month. However, the 75-page survey won't be ready until next month, said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mary Mohair at last night's Board of Education meeting. Trustee Leonard J. Wisse, president of the Board when the contract with Rissetto was signed last year, said the delay in receiving the report could cost the Borough a year in school planning.

He recommended that the Board inform Rissetto of its dissatisfaction and withhold the remainder of his $5,000 salary. $2,000, until the report is in its hands. Dr. A. R.

Mancari, board member, said there was a reason for Rissetto's delay and asked for a 10 minute recess to explain. On returning, Wisse withdrew his resolution. Southwest Chief Reporter: Ted Lip-senthal. Reporters: Fred Huber, James McDowell, Sandra Atwater. Telephone: HUbbard 7-8000.

costs would be borne by the municipality. "As the result of an agreement between the Council and the Board of Education," Cuccio said, "We have arranged facilities for the program, and are providing services of a nurse and doctor." The Mayor explained that the program is operating at the Lincoln School, and that the pupils have the facilities available to the others at the school without any additional cost to the Borough or the school board. Former Mayor Frank Belli (D) who was ousted in the May elections by a fusion ticket that included Republican Cuccio, (Continued on C-2, Column 1) a choice, it is all around. The only choice we have is how, what, where, and what goals." She said that the individual must be accepted as sexual at all times throughout life and that every one a child comes into contact with gives him a lesson in sex education. She said that every man or woman a child meets gives the child an impression or lesson in what is maleness and femaleness.

She said people do not only express sexuality by erotic behavior. If the goal of sex education is to reduce venereal disease or pregnancy, it is a shallow goal, she said. The goal should be responsible sexuality, Dr. Calderone said. An integral part of sex education, she said, is open discussion, for it is a social experience, and not only becoming acquainted with facts.

Hetcrosexuality and homosexuality are built in by parents and the community and environment from the time that a child is designated a boy or a girl, she sakl. This is where sex education starts, at birth, Dr. Calderone said. She said that we must see to it that our children have the equipment to make sound, responsible decisions. She said that it is not that parent's aren't the best people to do the job, it is that they need help.

She mentioned a sexual barrier between children and their parents, stating that parents (Continued on C-2, Column 3) TRY HONESTY Hillary Williams, moderator for the 10th-session sex forum in Tenafly, introduces Dr. Mary Calderone, of Sex Information and Education Council of U. at first forum session on sex education development last night. Dr. Calderone Speaks Approaches Viewed For Sex Education buildings," said the Borough's historic chairman Ludwig C.

Metzger. Other historic sites in the Borough have also suffered from resident's lack of sentimentality. The Kohbertz mansion, built in 1870 on Seventh Street and Main Avenue, was razed in 1940. This house, costing the then-fantastic sum of $75,000 was located on the highest point in the Borough. Later, though, it fell into the hands of the Ku Klux Klan who used it as their headquarters, and old-timers remember burning crosses on its sprawling lawn.

The old firehouse on Hum community affair. "The religious persuasion of the Holy Name Society doesn't alienate it from our community," Sinatra said. He reportedly has some backing among some trustees while others have indicated they will back Dr. Fandt. Sinatra said he has an open mind on the subject but wants to have the entire matter aired fully.

He said if the Jewish Center requested use of the band, his attitude would be the same. "We have a good band and we should show it off," Sinatra said. He said he didn't want religion to enter the conflict. Injecting religion into the request for a band is narrow minded, Sinatra said. Sinatra, a County detective who has been on the Board since February, has clashed frequently with Dr.

Fandt, but said he didn't want the current argument to be regarded as a personal dispute with the Superintendent. HISTORIC STICK PILE Modern Woodcraft Building near the railroad station used to be Adelung's Hotel built near 1870. Row Develops Over School Band Use By ANN K. PICKERING Staff Writer Tenafly If residents attending the sex education forum at the adult school expected instant curriculum answers from Dr. Mary Calderone they were sorely disappointed.

Dr. Calderone, who is executive director of the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States, instead suggested to the more than 100 gathered for the opening of the 10-session forum last night some of the thinking and philosophy a community must be aware of before starting a sex education program. One of her prime points about sex education, or education of sexuality, as she said it might better be called, was that a program must involve the entire community in its design. It must be designed for a particular community by the community it will serve, including the youngsters, she said. During the question portion of the forum she elaborated by stating, "If you really want to know what you should have done in the elementary school ask the Junior high school student," and continued the same for other school age groups.

She said that young people must be in partnership in such a community project. To the basic question, should sex education be taught? Dr. Calderone said, "We don't have -Staff Photos milk from 10 to 7 cents, but trustees failed to act on the reduction. They want to wait to see the first month's financial report. A preliminary estimate was that a 3-cent reduction could mean a loss of $6,000 a year.

A contract to install acoustical ceiling tile in four classrooms plus other areas of the Gantner Avenue School was awarded to Acoustics Inc. of Westfield at $1,990. It was the lowest of two bids. The ironical part was that Acoustics Inc. gave this same price by quotation, but some Board members wanted closed bids, at which time the low bid was $2,300.

Acoustics Inc. didn't bid the first time, but when new bids were called last night it bid at the same price of its quotation. A slightly miffed Dr. Fandt said now workmen will have to disturb children during school hours when the work could have been done during the summer. East Paterson A decision by the School Superintendent forbidding the Memorial High School marching band to participate in a religious event the October 7 Holy Name Parade in Hackensack may be overruled by the Board of Education.

The conflict between some trustees and Dr. Edward L. Fandt came to light last night. Dr. Fandt reportedly has told the Board he is merely abiding by Board policies.

But the trustees want a special meeting on the subject and Board President Louis Gallo set the session for Monday night in the high school. The band has participated in firemen's parades and last semester performed at half-time at a New York football game, Trustee James Sinatra, a member of the Holy Name Society at St. Leo's R. C. Church, said after the Board meeting the H.

N. S. is a The Board last night met for only 10 minutes on two items, the price of milk and receipt of bids for acoustical tiling. After adjournment, Gallo mentioned calling a special meeting this week but no hint was given why. Dr.

Fandt said he'll be away at an Atlantic City convention and Sinatra said there would be no need for his presence. Dr. Fandt shot backr "When you override the superintendent on policy I have a right to be present." He was willing to drive back from Atlantic City, but Gallo set the meeting for Monday. The band figured in a controversy serveral months ago when the Board first said it couldn't subsidize an awards dinner for the band, as well as athletes. But the Board reversed itself when the State Department of Education ruled such dinners were school-oriented.

The Board had listed on its agenda reducing the price of.
