Real estate agent John J. Kupper, whose For-Rent signs have been posted in the store's windows, said today the Ben Franklin- 5 10 chain does not have plans to lease the store. Towtoship Recreation Superintendent Richard Rodda indicated he is still interested in "renting the empty store for use as a teen center. He will discuss in what happens at the Teaneck meeting.

"If the Freeholders approve building a dam," Nowakowski said, "the City will cooperate. The City owns most of its land fronting along the River." The land includes Foschini Park and the College Park Renewal Area. Some local officials have talked about building walks and planting trees along the Foschini Park river banks. Fairleigh Dickinson University would expand its campus across the River to the College Park Area in the northeast part of the City. The City is awaiting federal action on its application for federal renewal funds for the College Park Area.

The empty 5 10 on Teaneck's Cedar Lane may be converted to a teen-age recreation Study Predicts Stable School Population we have to make a decision to convert other rooms into classrooms, such as a gymnasium room, or to construct new classrooms." According to Loukas the survey was made to see what is needed in the future. Final recommendations on what is needed are expected by fall. He said the only gradejhat is overcrowded for the coming year is the sixth.

The sixth grade will be split into two sections, each containing 30 pupils. The other grades at Midland School have 3 sections with 20 or slightly more in each section. He said, "By the fall of 1969 rental with the Advisory Board on Parks, Playgrounds, and Recreation and Township officials, he said. Before reports of the Ben Franklin deal were made public, Rodda asserted the empty building had excellent potential as a center. Capable of accommodating 400 to 500 youths; the store is in the middle of town, is near traditional teen-age gathering places, and has adequate parking nearby.

Rodda indicated the last rental price he heard mentioned was $1,000 a month. To be successful, the center would have to be almost self-supporting, he said. The building, at the corner of Garrison Avnue, is 45 by 140 feet, has 15 to 20 feet headroom on the main floor and an 8-foot ceiling in the basement, Kupper indicated. Teens Seek Job they expected any more within 5 years. The survey also attempted to discover if parents planned to transfer their children from public school to private school, parochial schools included, or vice-versa.

Loukas said that officials from the Sacred Heart School have been informed of the survey, and that transfers from Midland School to Sacred Heart are not expected to take place in great numbers. Loukas said, "We just don't have the space for a great number of additional residents in town. Unless there is a change towards high rise apartments, which I don't think will happen, people will not find room to move into town." He explained that the current building code is zoned for small private homes and 1 bedroom garden apartments. Loukas said he doubted the switch to high-rise apartments, because he believed the town is more interested in attracting light industry. "In 10 years this situation may change, because by that time most homes in the Township will be 40 years old," he added.

Avenoso Approval Due said today the group, sponsored by the Northeast Community Organization, has been unable to find office space. In hopes of their using Township property, he plans to discuss the situation with municipal officials before next week's Township Council meeting. McNatt, one of the organizers, has maintained that teen-agers believe many jobs are available, but most youths simply don't know about them. Recreation Superintendent Richard Rodda said there would be room for the youth employment service in the vacated five-and-dime store on Cedar Lane, if the Township decides to rent the building. The empty building has been proposed for a teen-age recreation center.

The employment service is planned to link employers and teens looking for temporary summer jobs or year-round em? ployment. Paramus A decision on the reopening of Garden State Parkway Interchange 166 was still in question after a meeting of Borough and Parkway officials on the safety problems of the controversial issue. D. Louis Tonti, executive director of the Parkway, met with Borough officials yesterday and requested additional data on accidents and traffic movement in the East Ridge-wood-Linwood Avenue area. Mayor Charles E.

Reid (R.) said Tonti wanted figures comparing the traffic before and after the opening of the Fashion Center on East Ridgewood Avenue near Routs 17. Police have compiled accident data during the past 5 years on the Highland Avenue exit and the Pascack Road entrance, which local officials claim are safety hazards. Interchange 166 was closed TEMPLE PLANS TO BE DRAWN Board Awaits Details Of Expansion Rochelle Park "Obviously we want to expand, because we have a very small building, said Fred Halperin, president of the Park Jewish Center. Halperin was referring to the Center's intention to submit completed plans for their building expansion project to the Planning Board. Last week two representatives from the Center submitted a rough outline of their plans to the Planning Board.

Halperin said, "We hope to get back to the Planning Board with our final plans before the end of the month, but it could take up to 3 months. Halperin estimates that it will cost the Center approximately $30,000 for a addition at the rear of the building, improvements on the front portion of the property, and a cellar and a meeting room, where services will be conducted. He said, "We have been working towards expansion for the last 2 years, planning and trying to raise money. We still need a lot more funds. The reason the Conservative congregation has to expand is to meet the needs of the two growing communities, according to Halperin.

Some 80 families belong to the congregation. k. Mayor Walter E. Nowakow-ski of Hackensack says that the City's plans for recreational development of its banks along the Hackensack River are hanging until the Bergen County Freeholders reach a decision on the feasibility of damming the River. The Mayor offered this status report last night when he was asked whether the City would send representatives to a meeting July 13 in Teaneck to confer on development of the' riverfront.

The meeting has been called by Teaneck Mayor Thomas J. Costa in hopes of speeding Freeholder action on the longstanding proposal to dam the Hackensack at the JVlidtown Bridge to create a fresh-water lake stretching to the Oradell Dam. Costa hopes also to convince communities along the river to buy land for parks. Nowakowski said that he had received a letter from Mayor Costa inviting him to the conclave, but he said that he had not had a chance to check the meeting date with his schedule of activities. It was indicated, though, that the City would be interested Center McNatt said any one who can donate office space to the youths may contact him for more information.

Tonti, however, announced plans to reopen 166 but did not carry them out when Borough officials threatened to put up their own barricades or take legal steps to prevent the reopening.

I Girls Like Pioneer Life Has America's youth lost that old pioneer spirit? Not according to a group of Bergen County Girl Scouts now in the midst of a 2-week crash course on how to live the life rustic. The girls are indeed pioneers. They are the first scouts ever to use the new 600-acre wilderness camp, Glen Spey, purchased by the County Girl Scout Council a few months ago. They are enjoying the use of a facility which will some day serve 12,000 Girl Scouts on a year-round basis. But they also living in the pioneer style.

Older scouts all, the girls are living in tents equipped with few of the modern conveniences. (Want some water, huh? The spring is about 50 yards, thataway); eating communal style under a big-top shelter; and learning that K. P. is tougher when Mom and the family dishwasher are far, far away. But the girls are also learning the joys of hiking the mountain trails of the campsite, located near Port Jervis, N.

swimming, boating, and canoeing in the camp lake, and just being close to nature. And, like true pioneers, they love it.
