MHS Student Handbook Barre Ambulance Official FisherTo Ask Staff atGifford OK'd Despite Board Spat Financial Position OK exchange places with him. "I wish to vacate the Council To Keep Eye on Budget BARRE Mayor Wilfred J. Fisher will ask the City Council to take a more active part in budget watching. City Clerk Ralph Olliver has been having a hard time meeting bills and payrolls in the closing weeks of the Fiscal year. Slow federal and state payments are blamed but Fisher said Thursday the situation might be more manageable if he and the aldermen had more to go Mrs.

Helen Maynard Honored at Reunion MONTPELIER Mrs. Helen Maynard was guest of honor at a family reunion here Sunday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Everett (Agnes) Neveau. Fifty-four members of Mrs. Maynard's family attended.

A picnic lunch featuring a birthday cake was served, and during the afternoon three copies of the Wright family tree were filled in. Mrs. Maynard was a Wright, and five generations were represented on the tree. All of Mrs. Maynard's grandchildren, except for two who phoned, attended.

The oldest relative present was Mrs. Ruth Leach. 84; the youngest were the 3-month-old twins of Mr. and Mrs. Terry Wright of Enosburg.

Bv DOROTHY ROSA MONTPELIER In spite of a small bureaucratic brush-fire war that broke out among the school commissioners Wednesday night, the students of Montpelier High School will have a handbook to guide them this September. Principal Bruce Stewart gave the board a draft copy of the revised, updated manual for its official first reading. But there were objections. Commissioner Hon Bouffard said he would like to see more material on guidance and counseling included, and board Chairman Roy Nicholson declared. "It's my opinion that this document is nowhere near ready." He urged further work before the chair and have you, Madame Secretary, preside." Switch they did, and Commissioner Donaghy took over.

But the trade backfired as acceptance of the draft came to a vote. By four to one, the board tabled the handbook, leaving Supt. Charles B. Johnson with the obligation to see it through to print by September. Mrs.

Donaghy cried foul; 'T don't get to vote," she exclaimed. "I think we're having a dreadful time over a package of toothpicks," Commissioner Hubert S. Brooks concluded. "I'll be darned if I'm going to come down here every year to discuss the paragraph saying a student must obtain an admit slip when he's late," he declared as he moved to table the matter RANDOLPH Dr. Kwang Ho Chun, a surgical fellow at New York's Bellevue Hospital, will begin a medical and surgical practice here July 1.

He will join the staff of Gifford Memorial Hospital. Dr. Chun, whose specialty is general surgery, came to the United States from South Korea in 1968. He replaces Dr. Stanley Hoffman, who has left the Gifford staff to accept a post with the University of Vermont College of Medicine.

Dr. Chun, his wife, Theresa, and their three children will live in Randolph. VERGENNES June 23, 8 p.m. Open square dance, sponsored by the Small City Steppers Square Dance Club, with Ernie Kinney from California as caller; Vergennes Union High School. BARRE Daniel P.

Bagalio, chairman of the Barre Area Ambulance Committee, predicted Thursday the service will be breaking even when its first year ends Jan. 26. His report followed a meeting of the committee with Doris S. Cavoretto, the assistant city clerk. She is handling billing and other financial affairs of the new service.

The committee heard from City Manager Thomas E. Duff last month that the service had a deficit of some $14,000 since it started Jan. 26. Miss Cavoretto has explained Duff's figures included about $8,000 paid for an ambulance garage which wasn't satisfactory for ambulance purposes and will be used for another purpose. Also, Duff's figures didn't include accounts receivable.

These, according to Bagalio, combine with the garage costs to wipe out the deficit. "We are in good shape at this point," he declared. He said he would like to have a garage ready for the ambulances before winter. Several complications stand in the way. Town voters have approved using $13,000 in revenue-sharing funds to cover the town's 40 per cent share of the costs of building a garage, but the share is based on an early cost estimate for a metal garage.

The selectmen recently approved an -shaped design recommended by the committee, but the city has secured a proposal on the design which would cost $44,950. The city fathers are moving slowly because of uncertainties involving the firemen. They operate the ambulances but object that they need six more men. A crisis looms, now that the vacation season is starting at the fire station. The firemen have threatened the city fathers with unfair labor charges if they attempt to use callmen to stand by at the station when the ambulances are out on calls.

Town Manager Paul D. McGinley said he won't recommend to the selectmen that they ask the voters for additional revenue-sharing funds for the town's share of the garage costs. He claimed the metal garage rejected by the city fathers after the Barre Housing Authority objected to having a utilitarian building so close to a housing project was adequate. He said if the city wants a fancier building to satisfy the BHA. the difference in costs should be up to the city.

"Ultimately, it's going to be a city building anyway." he noted. He said he agrees with Bagalio that delays can be costly and a decision should be made this summer. "The longer we sit on it." he declared, "the higher the costs." board voted, and evidently felt strongly enough to ask board Secretary Sally Donaghy to mm BRISTOL June 23. 10 a.m. Gymkhana; Bristol Riding Ring.

He already threatened that he will try to have the charter amended to give the mayor freer access to department heads and information at City Hall. The charter limits the mayor to ceremonial functions and his role as the presiding officer at council sessions. Duff is not alarmed by the financial picture and regards it as fairly typical for the time of year. "It happens every year.

We had the same problem last year," he recalled. He said the situation is a little worse this year because the $30,000 sum usually reserved to cover delinquent taxes was left out of the budget last year so that a $5.60 tax rate could be continued for one more year.

Increased costs of labor and rising food prices, mainly of meats, are blamed for the projected increase. Current prices are 30 and 35 cents for first through eighth grades and ninth through twelfth grades, respectively. Commissioner Paul Brodeur held out briefly for holding the current price through half a year and then dealing with any deficit later, but the board rejected his proposal and voted to give Johnson the green light to raise prices. mir STEVE DUSTin 17.

Cary suspended this week by the City Council on recommendation of the Police Committee, has been notified of a hearing in the case at 7 p.m. next Wednesday. Mayor Wilfred J. Fisher said Thursday the City Council has sole authority involving charges against policemen but the committee members will be permitted to ask questions. He said he believes the hearing will be secret but the doors will be opened to the public if Cary wishes.

The charges against Cary have not been disclosed officially. Noting that in neighboring Montpelier, city officials are looking outside the city for a new police chief, Fisher said city officials are negligent in preparing their own policemen for promotion. "That is the fault of the powers that be," he declared. He said he has urged City Manager Thomas E. Duff to make arrangements to give several policemen managerial training at the Babson Institute.

Fisher said the city's problems are not urgent because Chief Floyd B. Chandler has three more years to go before retirement. Barre Housing Chief Expects HUD Decision BARRE William N. Emery, executive director of the Barre Housing Authority, thinks he will know next week whether the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) looks favorably on a $700,000 turnkey project. The BHA received only one proposal on the project this month and now it is up to HUD.

The original intention was a 36-unit project but that was three years ago. Bureaucratic delays and the contractor's failure to get off the starting line delayed the project so long that rising building costs forced a reduction in the size of the project to 24 units. Emery said he will be in Dixville. N.H., Sunday. Monday and Tuesday.

He said he and James G. Young, a member of the BHA, will be attending the annual conference of the New England Council of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials. He said about 1.000 officials will attend.
