on of Happened Last Night By EARL WILSON NEW YORK-You'd better warn your out-of-town chums to make their hotel reservations now if they're coming to the World's Fair otherwise they'll be sleep ing in Newark, Jersey City, Philadelphia, or even worse at your place. New York has 1,000 conventions this year. Business now isn't Earl Wilson merely it's monstrous. But when vacationing students and visiting Europens hit town around June 15, hotels hope to be as packed as a phone booth with Jackie Gleason and Toots Shor both in it. And thus the hotels are refusing to give the usual 10 per cent discount to bookers of tours-hoping to keep the slice for themselves and being confident that there'll be a great summer boom.

Second Section The County School Official Sounds Warning Districts Due to Lose By Delaying Mergers By DAN ORR A number of Lackawanna Coun ty school districts stand to lose many thousands of dollars in lextra state of appropriations plans, by fur- a delay merger school official warned Tuesday night. Dr. Peter M. Mensky, assistant county superintendent, advised members of the Fell Twp.

Board that the County Board has already decided to consolidate Carbondale city and Fell Twp. schools into a single unit by 1966, under Act 299, the new School Reorganization Bill. However, if the two districts act fast and receive state approval to form a jointure by July 1 of this year, then they would share an extra $35,787 in appropriations. The Carbondale District would receive additional $27,452 in incentive payments and Fell Twp. and extra $8,335.

Total reimbursement under such a plan, not including added funds closed schools, nursing, transportation, vocational education and other programs, would amount to $527,791, Mensky reported. By remaining alone for the next two years, the two districts will receive a total of $492,003. Carbondale's appropriation would be $337,871. Fell Twp. would receive $114,132.

If the two districts decided to become a reorganized district, rather than a jointure, before July 1, then the combined districts would be eligible for $57,264 in extra appropriations. This would be $21,477 more in incentive payments than for a jointure. Incentive payments for jointures are $500 for each teaching unit. Reorganized districts receive $800 for each teaching unit. A reorganized district of Carbondale City and Fell Twp.

would receive a total state appropriation, including incentive payments of $549,263 annually. A reorganized district differs from a jointure in that the various districts retain their identity, school directors and tax collector in a jointure, while in a reorganized district jurisdiction is handed overt to a nine board selected from all member stricts. Dr. Mensky is scheduled to speak to the Clarks SummitAbington Joint School Board tonight- to discuss expanding that jointure to include Newton and Ransom Districts. Member districts would share an extra $35,596 in state appropriations if Newton and Ransom become associated before July! Total reimbursement under the proposed jointure would be 880, compared to the present reimbursement of $302,060 for the jointure and approximately 000 each for Ransom and Newton.

If all the districts decide to change from a jointure to a reorganized district, the state, appropriation, plus incentive pay ments would total $550,270, according figures prepared by the Lackawanna County superintendent's office. Lackawanna County school directors must submit their plan for the reorganization of school districts to the Department of Public Instruction in Harrisburg by July 1. The plan now under tion calls for the county's 35 districts to be divided into 10 administrative units. Scranton District, with a total enrollment, of 16,692 students, is the largest unit and will remain independent. Dunmore and Old Forge will continue to be single units under the proposed plan.

"My husband and I (along with the mortgage company) own modern ranch house. We are 56 years old, and we find the monthly payments, the taxes, and the bother of upkeep a heavy burden. "We also own a summer cottage which we had intended to winterize for our retirement. "We are playing with the idea of selling the ranch house, getting out from under the mortgage, and moving into an apartment. We would put our equity from the house into a savings account.

Meanwhile, we would winterize our summer cottage now and rent it out until we retire. "See anything wrong with all this?" MRS. R. L. B.

Dress Workers A total of 60,000 dress workers in eight eastern states have a new three-ye a contract. But about 20,000 others in New York City could be idled because two employer groups have refused to accept the terms, a union spokesman says.

The contract, granting wage increases, ranging from 5 per cent to weekly salaried employes and 61-3 per cent to piecework employes, was approved Monday 2,500 shop stewards and chairmen of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, AFL-CIO. Th ILGWU's Dressmakers, Joint Council gave approval Monday night. The pact was intended to cover all 80,000 of the dress workers, about 45,000 of them in New York City. The three employer groups representing the jobbers accepted the contract terms. But two associations representing the contractors balked at the settlement.

They wanted a more substantial portion of union benefits to be paid by the jobbers groups. A union spokesman said. that if the dissident contractors refuse to accept the new terms, the jobbers undoubtedly would farm out their work to contractors in other states. The union represents workers in New York, New Jersey, Pennsetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island sylvania, Massachuand Maryland employed in some 2,000 shops that produce more than 60 per cent of all dresses manufactured in the country. About 60,000 of the workers are paid piece rates-their earnings determined by the amount of work they turn out.

They were guaranteed minimum increase of $3 a week. Among weekly salaried employes, the lowest minimum rate would be $52.50 for cleaners, who had received $45.50 under the old contract. The highest minimum would be $100 a week for cutters, who had received $86. Workers averaged $76 weekly under the old pact. Additionally, they received increased health benefits and a second week of vacation, starting in 1965.
