Nurses win union recognition NEWTON, Mass. (UPI) Three hundred nurses at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, on strike since May 28, began returning to work this week after the hospital's administrators and board of governors agreed Monday to recognize the Massachusetts Nurses Association as a collective bargaining unit.

The nurses began returning to work Tuesday on a gradual basis "as the hospital patient census increases," said Denise Sullivan, who represented the striking nurses during negotiations. Ms. Sullivan said the most important term of the agreement was that the hospital recognized the Massachusetts Nurses Association "as an appropriate collective bargaining unit for their nurses." Collective bargaining will begin on July Providence Hospital has birth room HOLYOKE Providence Hospital here has opened a "birthing room" that looks like a regular bedroom, with wallpaper, curtains, pictures on the walls and an adjoining sitting room. Marjorie A. Shaw, superviser of obstetrics, said the birthing room was designed to provide couples with "as much of a feeling of having their child at home as is possible." Emergency equipment is available nearby, and couples must have taken a special course on childbirth to be eligible to use the room.

Other considerations for eligibility are the age of the mother and the expectation of twins. Lottery Commission disputes claims SPRINGFIELD, Mais. (UPI) The state Lottery Commission has gone to court, claiming two ticketholders are not entitled to the $160,000 they say they won. Commission lawyers last week appeared in Hampden County Superior Court to get claims by two persons holding lottery tickets dismissed. Claire O'Brien, wife of Hampden County Register of Probate John O'Brien, last year purchased a Strike-It-Rich lottery ticket which she said entitled her to $100,000.

The lottery commission turned down Mrs. O'Brien's claim, saying the number on the ticket had been misprinted. Olive Lennon of Springfield said she should receive $60,000 for two Numbers Game tickets she bought at a Hatfield drug store last year, a claim also disputed by the lottery commission.

Thomas Seminary in nearby Bloomfield will matriculate at the private university in courses including psychology, sociology, history, English and education. Officials at both institutions hailed the program as a step to broaden the education of the seminarian and allow him to relate better to everyday problems. "Our students will be interacting with their peers, going to class with many of the people they'll probably be serving some day," said The Rev. James F. Leary, dean of students at St.

Thomas. Rest stops are too exciting HARTFORD, Conn. (UPI) State police Tuesday launched a crackdown on illicit sexual behavior and advances at rest stops along the Merritt and Wilbur Cross parkways and the Connecticut Turnpike. State police spokesman John McLeod said both male and female motorists had complained they were propositioned and subjected to indecent exposure at the rest areas. He said some of the actions were "very brazen" and happened both at night and in broad daylight.

Uniformed troopers and undercover men from the Bethany barracks will be patrolling the rest stops "to apprehend those persons who use the area illegally and harrass innocent people there," McLeod said.

Mall would 'steal' millions BERLIN, Vt. (UPI) A report released by state environmental officials shows a mall proposed for Berlin would steal millions of dollars worth of business from neighboring Barre and Montpelier. The study indicates the large shopping mall would eat into the already strained tax base of the two communities. The mall is being proposed by Developers Diversified of Ohio. An earlier study by the developers showed the mall would have very little drain on local business.

But the report takes just the opposite stand, saying Barre would lose more than $6 million in retail sales each year, and Montpelier would lose more than $3 million. The study was done for the state by Thomas Muller, a Washington market analyst, and Beth Humstone of Charlotte. 000 sq.ft a 3 MIXED 3 1b. I LAWN Nil jtm. vjjj WEEDER FEEDER REG.

The granite monument was designed and its construction supervised by Jared C.

Markham, a Jersey City, N.J., architect. It was built under the aegis of the Saratoga Monument Association, which turned it over to the state in 1895. New York has now passed the title to the National Park Service, which will keep the monument open daily. Ape knows his own strength ROCHESTER, N.Y. (UPI) -Things were back to normal Monday at the Seneca Park Zoo following a chase Sunday, when Gambar, a 425-pound orangutan, escaped from his cage.

The ape forced 50 zoo-goers to take refuge inside the facility's main building. The 16-year-old male ape escaped by pushing open the door to his cage, but officials managed to get the adventuresome animal back in captivity half an hour later by shooting him with a tranquilizer dart..
