Suspend Mrs. Chamberlain as 4 Supervisors Appointed For City Playgrounds Which Open Monday Recreation Director Peter For-liano today announced the appointment of four supervisors for Hazleton playgrounds which open for nave 10 assume jrnesune loewer eieiiieuiary giaues leacmng assignment.

Mrs. Loewer would be the last straight-elementary teacher elected and would, therefore, be the one suspended in this adjustment process, (b) Saullo has general science, social studies, physical education-health certifi cation. Because he has ten years of tenure to eight for Ogrydziak, he can replace Ogrydziak as a social studies teacher. To give effect to the solicitor's interpretation in Ogrydziak's case (Ogrydziak has English and social studies certification), he would take over Kath-erine McFadden's English classes and McFadden, who has elementary certification, would be transferred to elementary grades to take over the assignment of Margaret Ward Gallagher. Mrs.

Gallagher would be suspended as the next straight-elementary grades teacher in line of election. Miss McFadden is the last elected of 3 English teachers who have elementary Schaller, Helen Hill, and herself. 2. Suspend full-time guidance counselor position in high school and reinstate Helen Will (at no loss in salary) in the girls swimming teacher position. Notify Arlene Kauffman that she would have no position here.

Since her contract is signed, our solicitor would have to determine our safest legal course for her dismissal or suspension. 3. Suspend audio-visual-currk u-lum supervisorship and reinstate Julia Wagner in her former position at Harman. Transfer Mrs. Forliano back to Grebey, in her former position, and notify Mary Jane Stimmel that she has no position here.

Since her contract is signed, our solicitor would have to determine our safest legal course to realize her suspension or dismissal. 4. Since our Veterans classes have diminished to a low enrollment point, abolish vocational coordinator's position and reinstate Tima in his former position as an industrial arts teacher in Harman. Ernest Sell would have to be suspended. Shelly and clerk would have to carry clerical burden.

5. Re-assign the high school band to George Schwartz and transfer Hochella to her former position as music teacher in junior high-elementary music. Re-assign Benjamin to English position in Grebey and suspend Mrs. Chirico (1) who lost her former tenure before return from maternity leave. 6.

Suspend or abolish the distri butive education position and re instate Forliano as a physical education teacher in the high school. He would push out Gregoria who could be transferred to Harman school to teach general science. He would have tenure over Doris 3rd Hit-And-Run Case Reported In Hazleton A car parked on Roosevelt street was damaged by a hit-and-run driver early this morning making the third such incident in the city in the past several days.

Drums Student GetsFellowship William Alfred Kern, of Drums, a member of the class of 1959 at Temple University School of Medi cine, has been awarded a March of Dimes fellowship of $500 for special study in rehabilitation. The award was announced today by Joseph D. Gallagher; chairman of the Hazleton Chapter of the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The fellowship, Gallagher said, will finance extracurricular study for 10 weeks for the Drums resi dent at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, Philadelphia.

The purpose of such an award is to interest students in careers in physical medicine or rehabilitation by giving them an opportunity for specialized clinical study early in their schooling. Kern was nominated by the dean of his school. March of Dimes fellowships and scholarships, a part of the Nation al Foundation's comprehensive professional educational program, largest of any volunteer agency, have totaled $25 million since the Foundation was established in 1938 Stained Glass Window In Church Broken A stained glass window in Ss. Peter and Paul's Lithuanian Church, valued at $50, was broken yesterday afternoon by an un known person. V.

No Tax Hike In New Budget Secretary Ira Kunkel has an nounced that the board of school directors of the Beaver Meadows School District has prepared a bud get for the fiscal year beginning on the first Monday of July 1957. Final action will be taken on the proposed budget at regular meeting of the Board at 7:00 clock, Monday evening, July 1st. Although figures of the new budget were not available today, it was reported the budget retains the present tax structure.

For all persons interested, the proposed budget is available for inspection at the home of Secretary Kunkel, 20 Berwick street, or at any regular meeting of the School Board. Every person in Beaver Meadows upon attaining the age of twenty-one years and every person twenty-one years of age or over becoming a resident or inhabitant shall within twelve months notify the Borough Assessor Michael Phillips, 38 Berwick street, Beaver Meadows of becoming of age or becoming a resident or inhabitant. Any person failing within said period to notify the assessors of the Beaver MeadoVs School District within which he resides shall in addition to the tax levied by Beaver Meadows School District be liable Teachers an elementary teacher until such time as she may get her complete elementary certification and may De reinstated tnrouga vacancies channels. 8. Suspend Mary Rattigan (1) as teacher of English and Latin in high school and have her assigned program of classes spread through other certificated teachers assignments.

9. To effect a cut of one teacher at Harman, transfer Helen C. Burns to Grebey to teach mathematics in position of Louise D. O'Brien. Because Mrs.

O'Brien has longer tenure than James Pape, have her take over his social studies subjects and suspend Pape. He could push out one in his certification fields who could in town replace a teacher with lesser tenure than he. These alternatives, if accepted in total abolished or suspended, would reduce the teachers' salaries by about $41,600. Not to accept some alternatives would cut back the $41,600 in proportion to the cuts not accepted. These alternatives, with the exception of resource teachers and Mrs.

Chamberlain, would cut the faculties and offerings in the secondary schools where our costs allegedly are too high. Accepting these as given would allow reductions in costs that would have a lowering effect on our secondary schools tuition rates. Such reductions, 'at the same time, would render our position for jointure considerations much more attractive and palatable to those districts being considered for jointure with us. In these alternatives I have tried very hard to hit first the last teachers elected for anticipated suspensions. Too, I have tried very hard to alter our schools' offerings where these deletions or changes will cause the least loss or difficulty in making needed adjustments.

I hope that I have not made any errors in my, haste to do a most difficult job in the very limited time given me. To cut our staff down 10 teachers, presently at 204 in my latest planning, would reduce our total professional staff to 194. The persons affected for suspension would be as follows: by name and by savings in salary budget realized: Margaret Ward Gallagher $4600; Ernestine Loewer Ernest Sell $4700; Arlene Kauli-man $3800; Mary Jane Stimuli $3800; Jeanne Chirico $405 Doris Condor $4300; Helen Chamberlain $3500; Mary Rattigan $3300; James Pape $4950. Following these alternatives to a total of over $41,000 would almost enable the district to continue the adjusted adult education program at the same time that it would be highly favorable to jointure possibilities and consider ably reduced tuition calculation items. Looking ahead, I can see no good point in abolishing completely our highly-rated adult pro-grain, particularly since our appropriation for our planned pro gram is assured; but I do see definite advantages in going ahead now since we have taken the crucial step in adjusting our secondary schools cost-wise, teacher-wise, with jointure and tuition favored.

The big question is, "Do we have the courage to carry through what you have mandated that I here present to you, some of which as you know is your own thinking put into implemented form?" milt 91 mr i Limit and Tickets GL 5-1513 P.

Action Compulsory Before reading the alternatives by which the necessary cuts could have been made in the budget, Supt. Hinkle emphasized that the recommendations were made under compulsion and that he was not in accordance with the hurried and disruptive plan of effecting changes.

He strongly urged that in the future directors make a continuing study with the superintendent to make professional staff cuts more carefully and justly. Hinkle's Report Following is the text of the re commendations by Supt. Hinkle: Alternatives For Reducing Dept. Since the school board, at their meeting held on June 18, 1957, by official action to balance the 1957- 1958 budget, thrust upon me the responsibility of showing how 000 to $43,000 can be cut from Ex penses of Instruction (teachers' salaries are the only expenses re maining that have not been com pletely pared already) and Dept I am giving the board mem bers the following list of alter natives irom wnicn tney may choose what shall be done to effect the necessary cuts. In giving out this list, I emphasize that the sug gestions are made under compul sion (I am not in agreement with such hurried and disruptive a plan of effecting changes) and I strong' ly recommend that in the future the board members make a con tinuing study with the superin tendent to effect professional staff cuts more carefully and justly.

It must be realized that staff cuts, no matter how always af fect some students' programs and the curricular offerings of the schools in an impairing manner and have a lasting lowering effect on teachers morale and sense of security. Alternatives 1. Since the 2 resource teacher positions in elementary grades are a hangover from adjustments made two years ago to lower secondary tuition rates, abolish them and transfer Brominski and Saullo as follows: (a) Brominski has social studies and physical education-health certification. Solicitor Bigelow concurs with Brominski's seniority interpretation which asserts that we must retain him as a teacher of social studies if another social studies teacher possessing elementary grades certification can push out an elementary grades teacher who is near the end of the Trailer Crash Damages Set At $13,500 An estimated $13,500 worth of damage was caused when a tractor-trailer overturned last night on Route 611, five miles south of Mt. Pocono.

The accident, which occured around 6:30 p. resulted when a brake hose broke and a safety valve caused the trailer to jack- knife, Mount Pocono state police reported. The tractor-trailer ran off the road, hitting the guard rail, took out a bridge abutment, overturn ed and rolled down a 12-foot em bankment. Thrown clear were the driver, Robert La Bar, 18, Newfoundland, N. and the owner, Robert L.

Little, 25, also of Newfoundland, who was a passenger. Neither was hurt. The lawn of George Werkeiser, whose residence is listed as Scot Run, was damaged. The trailer was loaded with coal. The entire cargo was lost.

At your door Houri Fresher Action Necessary to Erase $43,000 Deficit, Says Superintendent The teachers and pupils commit tee of the city school board pre sented "alternate suggestions" to Supt. Thomas L. Hinkle during a two-hour meeting this morning in an attempt to circumvent Hinkle's proposal that 10 teachers be fjred to erase a $43,000 deficit in the 1957-58 school district budget.

Hinkle's recommendations, rejected by the board last night, also include the abolishment of several supervisory positions and transfers of teachers. Teachers who would be suspended in Hinkle's plan and their salaries: Margaret Ward Gallagher, Ernestine Loewer, Ernest Sell, Arlene Kauff-man, Mary Jane Stimmel, Jeanne Chirico, Doris Condor, Helen Chamberlain, Mary Rat-tigan, James Pape, $4,950. Board President P. X. McGee-han said today he will not call a special meeting of the board to discuss the $43,000 deficit.

He said the next regular meeting of the board will be July 16. Hope For Resignations It was reported the board or at least some of its members are hoping for several resignations prior to the start of the new term. If such resignations are made, it is felt that the number of the suspensions can be reduced. But one certainty exists today: the board will have to suspend some teachers prior to the start of school next fall. The board blocked the possibility of increasing revenue through higher taxes when it formally adopted the budget.

The law says that once a tax levy is made for one year, it cannot be altered. Taxes Hiked When the budget was adopted earlier this month, the board hiked the property tax one mill and doubled the per capita tax to $10. Attending the meeting with the superintendent this morning were Secretary Stewart Veale, Solicitor Richard L. Bigelow, Milton J. Leichtman, Teachers and Pupils chairman, and committee members Lawrence LeGrande and Charles Seymour.

Nothing could be learned con cerning the "alternate suggestions" made to the superintendent. Only Item On Agenda The report by Supt. Hinkle was the only item on the agenda of the session last night which lasted only eight minutes. The meeting was called to order by President P. X.

McGeehan at 8:32 p. m. instead of 7:30 p. m. as originally scheduled.

A closed session held in the district office across the hall from the meeting room was the reason for the delay. Following the report no action was taken and McGeehan explain IlugeCoal Conveyor Installed At Lansford A huge coal conveyor is being installed at Lansford No. 6 breaker at the Panther Valley Coal Company, part of a pre-cleaning plant under construction at the operation.

A rubber belt 42 inches wide, driven by elec tricity, will carry an estimated 5,000 tons daily from the pre-clean ing plant and the breaker railroad yards.

The apparatus is expected to be put into operation in mid-July.
