He said the money will be spent for supplies and programs at the new activity center. Carpenter said about 40 handicapped citizens and nine NOBARC staff members will be involved with the activities of the new center, which consists of a prefabricated building, a greenhouse and a total of about six acres of land. The activity center is about a mile from NOBARC's other facility, a community residence for the mentally retarded at 149 Church St.

Food services In addition to the greenhouse, where NOBARC clients help grow houseplants and gardening plants, the facility will include the food service program sponsored by NOBARC.

Woodworking, arts and crafts and an independent living skills program, which teaches NOBARC clients to better adapt to society, will also be included in the facility's programs.

Burke of West Stockbridge said residents would be reluctant to approve establishment of a sludge-disposal site on town land.

Burke suggested to Iantosca that a site" be found on state-owned land. Requirements According to Roger, a proper sludge operation in the towns affected would be difficult to establish under the guidelines of. the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering. Those guidelines were described by Iantosca to the gathering at the beginning of the meeting. Such an operation, Iantosca said, would have to be located at least 1,000 feet from the nearest house or well and at least one-half mile from the nearest pub-'lic water source.

Also, the bottom of the sludge lagoons would have to be at least six feet above the maximum ground water level in the area. He added that the percolation rate, the rate that seepage from sludge lagoons would be absorbed by the soil, would have to be approximately two minutes per inch. Iantosca said that he would talk with Commissioner David Stanley of the state Department of Environmental Quality Engineering on the various proposals was built through a $65,000 federal community development block grant and through $13,500 from NOBARC, houses a greenhouse, workshop, activity rooms, and store which sells wares grown or crafted by NOBARC clients. The new center will take the place of Perry House on Arnold Place, where NOBARC activities had previously taken place. The open house will be held from 2 to 5 tomorrow afternoon, and is part of "NOBARC Weekend," which was proclaimed this week by Mayor Joseph R.

Bianco. The official dedication of the building by Bianco and NOBARC President Glenn Foss will take place at 3:45. The drawing of a raffle ticket for a 1977 Thuhderbird will take place at 4 tomorrow afternoon. NOBARC Executive Director David L. Carpenter said the as Adams-Cheshire unit adds to schedule ADAMS Kickball and an etch-and-sketch art program have been added to the events scheduled this month by the Adams-Cheshire Youth Center, according to William Lanoue, director.

Kickball for members aged 6 to 9 will be held Monday afternoons May 16 and 23 from 3:15 to 4:30 at the Mill Street Field. The art class will be conducted every Thursday afternoon this month for members aged 6 to 12 from 3:15 to 4:30 at the Cheshire School. The general sentiment expressed at the meeting, however, which was set up by state Sen. Alan D. D-Springfield after he inspected the problem in some of the towns in his district, was that the state should take the initiative in setting up such a fa-icility.

Atty. James M. Lamrne, who attended the meeting with Roger, said that his interpretation of the statute governing the regulation and construction of sludge-disposal operations, requires the state to take the initiative when such operations prove inadequate.
