We express our sincere condolences to the bereaved families. Gypsy Moths are about ready to start their defoliating and If they attack the large oaks this year as they did the past season, we stand to lose many of these venerable trees as the trees cannot survive more then three years of defoliation.

Trains Cut (Continued from Page 1) million, according to Baehr. Current federal subsidies would provide $53 million to N.J. Transit, but the Reagan budget would cut the figure to $41 million.

The N.J. Transit board also drafted a resolution calling on the state Legislature to provide funds to keep commuter rail and bus-service in operation. State Transportation Commissioner Louis (Jambaccini reiterated his concern Tuesday that service to the 75,000 of the system coukLend soon. "If implemented, (the Reagan proposals) raise the very real question of whether the state of New Jersey can afford to continue rail commuter operations," he said recently. To Eliminate Agent Two weeks ago, N.J.

Transit announced plans to eliminate ticket agents from all stations in the Somerset Hills except Lyons. Stations in Ber" nardsville, Far Hills and Peapack- (iladstone will no longer have agents July 1. The Lyons station, in Bernards Township, is municipally owned and heavy flow of make elimination of the agent impractical. Last week, leaders of a dozen railroad unions announced they would Hive up $200 million in wage increases over the next three years from Conrail as a concession to keep commuter and freight lines alive Conrail runs the lines for N.J. Transit.

Baehr said the concessions eliminated only million of the overall shortfall for commuter rail operations. Approximately 70,000 Conrail workers will receive preferred stock in thje railroad to replace the wage Increases. Hep James Florio (IJ-lst district), chairman of the House commerce, transportation and tourism subcommittee, which has jurisdiction over Conrail, said the wage agreement would disprove the Reagan Adminstra- tion's contention that railroad lines must be sold to private concerns because labor unions would never BgBM to enough concessions to allow the lines to be profitable.
