Members of the Region One board have spent $2,010.04 on travel and other expenses since the beginning of school decentralization in Detroit in January 1971. The Region Eight board has spent $3,821.17 on its members since 1971. These two boards accounted for more than half of the $10,247.93 that the city's eight regional boards have spent since these community boards were created with the beginning of decentralization.

This spending by regional school boards Is in addition to the $42,582.26 that various members of the city-wide Board of Education have spent on their travel and expenses since January 1971. THE FIGURES are contained in a new report of the expenses of board members which was given to members of the Board of Education last week. In addition to the $52,830.19 in travel and other expenses for the central and regional board members, the report shows that various board members have run up a $76,909.68 overtime bill since 1971 by using chauffeur-driven cars after business hours. if ,1 iffy fef 1 1 Almost half of that overtime was Incurred by three persons: Former school board president James A. Hathaway; C.

L. Golightly, the current president, and board member Patrick A. McDonald. The travel figures for the 27 persons who have served on the 13-member city-wide school board since 1971 were first included in a report made public last month after a long battle among board members over whether the figures should be disclosed. The new report shows how these 27 city-wide board members spent their travel and expense money and gives for the first time an indication of how much money the city's regional boards have been spending.

He said in an interview he wants Poindexter to name him first "for lawsuit reasons."

Milliken is seeking reelection. The energy crisis has drawn extraordinary attention to the PSC and the state's utility companies. Decisions made by the three-member PSC will affect in major ways how Michigan residents will live, work and play in the future. In January, 1973, Milliken appointed Rosenberg with a mandate to "revitalize" the agency. Rosenberg has been director of the state housing authority.

Sex Clinic Offers Therapy Partners i BY BILLY BOWLES Free Press Staff Writer Michigan's state park rangers cultivate the image of friendly, professional outdoors-men who can point out the poison ivy and help the camper survive the weekend. In recent years, however, they have reluctantly assumed the additional role of policeman. In 1970, there were 793 arrests all year in the nearly 80 parks operated in Michigan by the Department of Natural Resources. Last year, there were 3,566, made either by the rangers themselves or by local and state police called in for help. This year, the rangers-turned-cops have some tough new regulations, such as visitor and alcohol bans at some campgrounds, to enforce.

THE RANGER'S cop image is not one which DNR officials accept gladly. "I don't want our park rangers considered as police officers," said O. J. Scherschligt, head of the DNR parks division. "We want the Smokey the Bear image." Scherschligt put the blame for the problems primarily on young people.

"Not all of them, but too high a percentage of them disregard rules and regulations and tend to cause problems," Scherschligt said. The main problems are drugs, noise and vandalism. Thefts have increased. Rangers have been attacked. "Just during the past week, our field reports show four incidents where park users physically assaulted our park rangersi" Scherschligt said.

"That's a rash of them: it isn't a normal situation. But it is kind of disturbing." Park rangers have authority to make arrests but usually call in a DNR conservation officer or the local police to handle more serious problems. THE AREA with the greatest problems it Please turn to Page 10A, Col. 1 His missionary years were spent at the mission compound in the village of Buma on the island of Malaita, and the bishop was there when American fighter planes came in to bomb Japanese air bases and the air strip that later became Henderson Field. The bishop saw many aerial dogfights over that part of the Pacific known as "The Slot." He kept a launch carefully camouflaged, and with the help of the natives rescued many American fliers, including the Marine ace, Joe Foss, who later became governor of North Dakota.

Brother Gus had planned to spend this summer visiting Bishop Stuyvenberg as part of a leave granted after 25 years in the order. But he changed his plans when he learned the bishop is coming to the United States. Well aware of the absolute poverty that still afflicts the Solomons, Brother Gus hopes to be able to raise between $10,000 and $20,000 to build a new cathedral for the Diocese of the South Solomon Islands located in the new city of Honiara. The present cathedral is left over from the war days and is a quonset hut so besieged by rust and storm damage that the British government has condemned it. The bishop is due here Aug.

10. Brother Gus is heading up a group to hold a benefit barbecue and cocktail party at the home of George Simon, 211 Vendome, Grosse Pointe Farms, at 6 p.m. Aug. 15. Cost is $25 a person, and Simon has promised to match any funds raised.

Then on Aug. 15, the bishop's last day here, Brother Gus is planning a reunion of all the Guadalcanal veterans in the area at Notre Dame High in Harper Woods at 7:30 p.m. Brother Gus is confident his goal will be reached. He has already received permission from his provincial, Fr. Ray Ryan in Chicago, to attend the dedication of the new cathedral next eyar.

Simpson of Consumers Power Co. told a meeting of company employes: "I frankly don't have a good answer to how we got into this mess and, "I suppose the next question is, how could we have been so dumb?" Although the meeting had been called so that Simpson could discuss the plant, at that point in his speech Simpson was referring to politicians, regulatory agencies and utility executives who had failed to foresee the shortage of natural gas and oil.
