tentively as the high school band and glee club performed several numbers, and chatted with other members of the dedication committee. 'Tve put in a few hours in East Rutherford in the past 35 years," he said, "fm practically a resident. I've served as a councilman in Rutherford, and on the Tri-Boro sewer board. I never dreamed when I graduated from Rutherford Hih, School with the class of 1931, that I'd have a high school named after me. "Places are usually after people who are dead," he said wryly.

"I'm not about to kick off yet. This high school-will make a name for itself, so I'll float around for awhile." Mrs. Irene Mercoun, president of the Carlstadt-East Rutherford Board of Education, formed in 1968, traced the chain of events that culminated in the reality of a regional school for the two towns. "It all started with a nightmare for East Rutherford High School and the Municipal Square School," Mrs. Mercoun said.

The nightmare was a fire that destroyed the Municipal Square School which was being used by high school students from Carlstadt and East Rutherford. The fire cost the system half of its available facilities for high school students. "All of us in Carlstadt always felt it was ours, because of the close relationship for some 40 years. I can't ever recall hearing anyone refer to Carlstadt as a 'sending The first ray of hope came early in 1968 after both towns had exhausted every Tossibility of regionalizing with other towns. Then, Becton, Dickinson and Co.

offered the two boards of education two acres of land facing Paterson Avenue as a base site. Henry P. Becton, the company's executive committee chairman, said then that He favored a local regional high school, declaring, "It is to the advantage of B-D to promote the education of young people in our area so as to aid in providing a qualified work force for ourselves and for other companies within easy commuting distance of the homes of these students." Becton, Dickinson offices and the original plant have been located in East Rutherford since 1907. The facility serves as the corporate headquarters of the international firm which has 56 operations here and abroad. The new high school adjoins the plant.

The' firm's engineering department rendered the boards "invaluable aid," Mrs. Mercoun said, and later offered valuable public relations advice. The firm also put its legal services at the disposal of the two boards, until they merged into a regional board. With renewed vigor, the board returned to the voters of both towns seeking $3.7 million for the new edifice and additional land. Voters approved in June, 1968, and later came through again when the regional board found itself in need of an additional $600,000.

Also gracing the stage in the auditorium yesterday were Carlstadt Mayor Harold Pareti, East Rutherford Mayor James L. Plosia, and Rep. Henry Helsto-ski. Plosia expressed a brief wish that the graduates of the new school would be "a pride to their community," and Pareti thanked the people of Carlstadt for. "voting the school in." Both communities are dedicating new middle schools within the next week.

Rep. Helstoski said, "Education is the cornerstone that makes us a free people. The people of both towns have made, a contribution, given of themselves, to prepare the students for a competitive life." Helstoski referred nostalgically to the days he had been a classmate with Pareti' at East Rutherford High School. The Rutherford official compared the grandeur of the new building with his own school days, when students had to contend with windows opened to the sounds of street traffic. Louis Fittipaldi, administrative principal, recalled the scholarship of his former pupil.

"He was very curious, inquisitive. He always challenged the teachers," he said, while introducing Recount shows Wellington vote unchanged WALLINGTON A recount of the votes in the borough's municipal election has shown no change in official figures for mayor and council. The recount was requested by mayoral candidate Edward Stolarz and council candidate John Ridush, both Republicans. Stolarz lost to Mayor Carl Persak by 152 votes. Ridush lost to Councilman Stanley Pa vlick by 66 votes.

Official figures give Persak, 1,837 votes and Stolarz, 1,685. Pavlick had 1,769 votes and Ridush 1,703. The other Republican council candidate, Donald Syrek, was elected. Edward Piechota of East Rutherford represented Stolarz and Ridush at the re- count at the Bergen County Board of Elections Friday. 1 IS i Heights oversight Still a chance for lienors LYNDHURST Approximately 1,500 boys from nine communities participated in.

Judge Pashman said he based his estimate on the percentage increase in cases over the last three years. The county now has 27 judges.

Of the dozen more judges, Judge Pashman would put eight in superior court, three in county court and one judge in juvenile and domestic relations. The request for 12 jurists in Bergen County can be compared to the request for 56 more judges statewide, made last week by Edward B. McConnell, adminis-rfative director of the state courts. The number of civil cases in the county remains high despite a procedure in which cases have been dismissed if no action has been taken on them within six months. ThFrd Ward is buzzed, but where's the plane? GARFIELD Residents of the Third Ward were wondering whether something new had been added to Garfield political wars at 6:15 p.m.

last evening, when they reported that the Harrison Avenue area was buzzed by a small airplane. Councilman Pat Ficarra summoned po-Ec, but the plane had left the area. Police communicated with Teterboro airport in an effort to identify the plane, but officials at the tower were not aware of any such plane in the area. their miniature cars down the 23 foot long track.

Carlstadt Troop 51 was winner of the tower lashing; Bloomfield Pack 4 won both the ping pong ball balancing, ping pong ball in spoon race, the stick balancing- contests and Pack 26 also of Bloomfield won the paper relay. Among the exhibitions and activities held in the gymnasium were; Troop 51 Carlstadt, the erection- of a 25 foot high tower made of trees cut from the Oakland Tamarack Camp; Troop 4 Bloomfield, the building of a bridge from trees also cut from the camp; Troop 88 Lyndhurst totem pole; Troop 22 Bloomfield use of aluminum foil for cooking; Troop 147 Nutley, film and slides showing 84.5 mile canoe trip to Maryland Troop 154 Rutherford, slides of canoe trip on Delaware River; and slides made from ker- -chief, slides made from leather, metal and plaster from various packs and troops; first aid displays and a survival display by Troop 86 Lyndhurst.

This was the first time that all nine communities Lyndhurst, North Arling- ton Rutherford, East Rutherford, Carlstadt, Wood-Ridge, Moonachie, Bloomfield and Nutley in the Tamarack Council participated in a councilwide fair held under one roof. The school gymnasium, auditorium and cafeteria were focal points of activities. George Magdic, activity chairman of the council, a teacher in Rutherford High School, was in charge. Michael Donavan, from Explorer Post 162 of Lyndhurst, was in charge of the Trading Post run by the council and Frank Bencer advisor of Explorer Post 162 Rutherford was in charge of the food concession.

HASBROUCK HEIGHTS Five or six juniors who failed to make the National Honor Society roll year will be given an opportunity to have their achievements recorded for posterity before they leave high school. Jack Kreitman, guidance director at the high school here said yesterday that the students' failure to return activity sheets which verify their participation in extracurricular functions, resulted in their having been left off the roll for their junior year. Kreitman noted that the failure of school personnel to check the return of the activity sheets before submitting the list to the National Honor Society, was a "mechanical mistake" which "is not sur- 3 youths injured in benefit game EAST RUTHERFORD The East Rutherford Emergency Squad ambulance had a busy afternoon at Riggin Field yester- day during the East Rutherford-Rochelle Park junior football league benefit game.

Gagel, Bergen County narcotics coordinator, "It is easier for a kid to buy heroin or cocaine than to buy a drink at a bar." Gagel took part In a panel discussion on drug abuse at the Marriott Motor Hotel, Saddle Brook, Saturday. He offered the opinion that unless something is accomplished to control the traffic of drugs in the street little progress can be made in controlling abuse. He said there are onfy4 10 policemen in Bergen County working on the problem on a full time basis.

Positive action against countries from which drugs are imported was cited as a control measure by Charles J. Sakany, an attorney and counselor at the Msgr. Wall Social Service Center, Hackensack.
