Last year it was more likely thatcounty residents attended programswhere Legal Services lawyers de-scribed important new laws, regula-tion* or public programs which areavailable and important for the pub-lic to know. A tmost 600 people heardfrom Legal Services personnel in1991, the report said.

Union County's jaw firm for thepoor served more clients than ever in1991.

With the economy in a deep re-cession, more often than not 1991clients requested help in order to holdonto their house or apartments. Fre-quently, families sought help to securepublic assistance and other servicesat proper levels.

Most of the cases, overhalf, resultedin clients remaining in their homes orhelping people and heads of familiesto secure the correct level of publicbenefits.

Drug Awareness WeekBrings in Entire Town

Activities planned community-wide from last Saturday to Sunday,March 8, have highlighted ChemicalPeople/Preventing Alcohol, Narcoticand Drug Abuse's fourth annual DrugAwareness Week.

The theme this year, "JoiningHands and Hearts to be Drug Free"wuchosen by the municipal allianceand school representatives on thedrug-prevention organization to ex-emplify the cooperation of the town,schools, police, religious and businessleaders and many town organizationsstriving toward the common good ofhelping Westfield seek positive al-ternatives to substance abuse.

Today the Police Department andthe Parent-Teacher Council havejoined forces to sponsor u workshop,Satanism and Cults, Its Impact onOur Society led by Dr. Alan Peterson,an international expert on this subject.

This topic was chosen by the alli-ance because there is evidence moreyouth locally and county-wide areparticipating in various forms of cults.Drugs and alcohol use also arc acomponent of this activity. Theworkshop is for adults only and wiltbe held at the Westfield High Schoolcafeteria at 7:30 p.m.

Individual schools, both elemen-tary and secondary including Re-deemer Lutheran and Holy Trinity,have students participating in variousactivities including the constructionof comfort quilts, a hands-and-hcirVsmosaic, the composition of poems,essays and songs, drugtriviacontestsand special assemblies with sportsfigures as speakers.

In addition, Mayor Garland C."Bud" Boothe, Jr. has signed aproclamation declaring DrugAwareness Week.

Town employees, business leadersand many school students will bewearing red ribbons with the slogan,The Choice for Me-Drug Free.

Seven Girl Scout troops coordi-nated by Senior Scout Wendy Jebbenswill tie red ribbons in the businessdistrict and local parks. The com-munity also was invited to participateby also tying red ribbons on theirhomes and turning on their porchlights from 7 to 9 p.m. this pastMonday.

As a culmination to the week, theFirst Church of Christ Scientist willsponsor a community meeting titledRemnants of Humanity, or God'sFamily, chaired by Mrs. Barbara B.Holliday, a member of the ChristianScience Board of Lectureship. Theworkshop will be held at Edison In-termediate School al 3 p.m. on Sun-day, March 8.

"During the past seven years,Westfield's municipal alliance hasbeen in the forefront of drug pre-vention both educationally and so-cially," Mrs. Nancy Walbert, the drug-prevention group's Director, said,"Community cooperation towards ourcommon goal has been extremelygratifying, but as always each yearseems to bring new problems withneeds for solutions."

William J. Sweeney, • candidatefor the Board of Education stressingfinancial planning;, recently made thefollowing commentc. "The Board ofEducatibnis prcientiii|iu 1992-1993budget to the public for review andcomment.

"The board hat given u» numerousopportunitie* to question or to com-ment on its budget. Yet all too often,the answer to our queiiions ii that aparticular cost is fixed by statute,labor contract, ttaie regulations orwhatever. Everyone shrugs andmoves on to hear the same answeragain and again," he noted.

"I say it'* time to fix the budgetprocess. That menu • forward plan-ning proceM and an earlier start to theannual budget cycle. It means tar-geting oul-of-control budget itemsand creating an action plan to reduceor contain those costs. That planshould be a multi-year plan and, whereneceisary, include a political actionplan to get things changed that canonly be changed in Trenton. Maybewe should consider shorter termcontractual commitments when theextent of revenues is uncertain," hestrewed.

"The point is that most of our in-tractable cost problems cannot besolved in a few weeks every springbefore a budget is proposed. I alsohave low expectations for cost stud-ies by outside consultants," he added

"We must formulate an ongoingforward planning council within theboard and community with the ca-pability of acting over longer periodsof time to effectively implement costcontainment action plans that resultin rational annual budgets," he said.

Science Enrichment Program GivesTown Students New Love for Technology

The announcement last week of a sci-ence enrichment program, Hands-on-Science for Kids, which involves thosein the fifth through eighth grades inlaboratory-style classes to be co-spon-sored after school by the Westfield Op-timist Club and the town's Parent-Teacher Council, comes as welcomenews.

In a society beset by the downturn inthe economy, decreasing opportunitiesin many fields and, at the same time,increasing demand for scientific knowl-edge in this area of technology, allchildren should be encouraged to aimtheir natural curiosity toward the worldof science.

The program focuses on some topics

which may not be taught in traditionalelementary-grade classrooms such asrocketry, electricity and chemistry.

The tuition of $45 for the eight-weeksession probably is not beyond the reachof most Westfield parents, and it will,we feel, be money well spent both interms of increasing children's love ofscience and in adding to the skills taughtin the classroom.

During a time when fiscal constraintsare forcing our town's schools to care-fully examine all programs, it is good tosee a volunteer effort to provide some*thing which will help our schools andtheir students gain more for the educa-tion dollar.

The current blockage is caused bythe "head in the clouds" HistoricalCouncil oflhe Department of Envi-ronmental Protection which appar-ently holds Westfield and local area

The true solution to the traffic flowproblems at the South Avenue circleis the rebuilding and utilization of theTultle Parkway overpass as a majoraccess way into town and to and fromHoly Trinity and the high school.Excuses and delays in this rebuildingshould not be accepted or toleratedby the area citizens.

Does Dr. Mark Smith DefendBest Interests of Westfield?

I recently read excerpts from aspeech by Westfield'sSuperintendentof Schools, Dr. Mark C. Smith, andwondered "whose side is he on?"

Dr. S mith provided an enlighten inghistorical perspective on the evolutionof what for some reason or other iscalled the "Quality Education Act"which was drafted by Governor JamesJ. Florio.

Dr. Smith states that public edu-cation is faced with the followingthree interrelated policy issues:

• Equality educational opportuni-ties for all students.

• The failure of some students tolearn and achieve minimum educa-tional standards.

• Racial isolation of children.He goes on to say in spite of the fuel

Ihe Westfield school system scoreswell and continues lo improve itsquantitative and quiilitiitive perfor-mance measures, we ftice n IONS ofover $6 million in Muic funding.

The $6million that we would losepresumably would IK directed t<> ur-ban Kchool districts which do notachieve minimum uendemic slim-dardii, In attendance, rales of gradu-ation ami low crime rates.

lutions:Stale funds should be shifted away

from suburban areas which have theresources to support good schools toareas of less wealth and more need.

The state should encourage the"voluntary regional ization"of schooldistricts imd the creation of jointprograms between urban and subur-ban districts.

According to Dr. Smith, this goalcould be achieved by creating"magnet schools" located on Ihe rimof our cities and designed to nervestudents from both city and suburbanurcus — sounds like busing to me.

The Superintendent of WeslfieldSchools should be a spokesman forthe Westfield schools iind Westfieldtiixpnycrn.

Report from Washington

Disclosure of 900 FeesProposed in Legislation

In New Jersey and acroti the country,the pay-per-call uvtuary hat been plaguedby some operator* employing deceptivemarketing practicet. Thousands of call-ers are enticed to dial exorbitantly piked,pay-per-call number* wilhoffen of prizei,expense-paid vacations, romantic con-versation or belling information withoutrealizing that such calls quickly can addhundreds or thousands of dollars to theirtelephone bill.

Of course, pay-per-call numbers havenumerous legitimate and beneficial uses.Nonprofit organizations, for instance,have used 900 numbers during fund-raising drives and priced eachcallat $3 orto. And I am a firm believer that the pay-per-calt industry overall can provide awoild of information and a number ofimportant consumer services in a conve-nient manner at a reasonable cost.

Unfortunately, the industry has alsoattracted scam artiilt and quick-buckhucksters who use this modem technol-ogy for a new kind of consumer fraud.

That la why I sponsored legislation,recently passed by the House, that wouldprotect legitimate businesses and worthycauses, while weeding out the unscrupu-lous1.- In my view, this legislation is needed

lo half misleading advertising for pay-per-call numbers. The bill gives con-sumers • way lo contest pay-per-callcharges without feu of losing their tele-phone services.

At an example of such abuse, iheNewJersey Division of Consumer Affairs re-cently handled a case in which aBurlington County family was hit wilh an$8,000 telephone bill. Another case in-volved a telephone customer who had lopay more thin $5,000 for 900-numbercalls.

Adult "romance lines" are blamed forattracting calls from juveniles that caneasily run into the hundreds of dollars.

Abuses in the pay-percall industryinclude such practices as mass mailingsthat indicate Ihe recipients can claim acash prize or an article of merchandise by

calling a 900-number. But what ihe callersdon'l suspect i$ that the callmaycostSIOor more i minute, and they often muttpurchase an expensive product to be eli-gible for the grind prize.

Prosecuting unscrupulous companiesusing 9fflMunbertii often difficult. Onceauthorities begin an investigation, Ihetelephone service may assume anotherbuiuwf t identity md change its phonenumber, location and product.

In New Jersey, services have adver-tised guaranteed credit cards lo hire caller*into dialing several expensive 900 num-bers to receive an application that can beobtained for free.

Such telephone fraud cosuUiuied Stateconsumer* about SI billion a year. Toprotect consumers against theseexcessivecharges, the legislation I sponsored would

• require thai 900 services to disclose thecost of a call beforehand and to identifythe name of the advertiser and the natureof the service and product. A caller couldhang up without incurring any charge.

Under this legislation, telephonecompanies would provide free blackingof 900 calls at the request of a customer,and all 900 service charges would appearin i separate portion of a phone bill. Atoll-free number would allow customersto obtain an explanation of their rightsand obligations in using Ihe 900 servicenumber. The legislation requires a sepa-rate listing on phone bills for 9O0chargesand prohibits phone companies fromdisconnecting local service if a customerrefuses to pay the 900-number bill.

The bill approved by the House Feb-ruary 25 will be reconciled with similarlegislation already approved by ihe Sen-ate. The resulting bill then must be re-lumed lo both chambers for final approvalbefore being sent lo Ihe President.

I am proud lo have had a leading role inwinning House approval for this impor-tant new protection for consumers. Withenactment of this legislation, the un-scrupulous operators of pay-per-callscams will no longer find telephone userssuch easy prey.

Health Officer AgreesTo Delay Trash Penalty

Solid Waite Committee ChairmanNofmanN. Greco pointed out a reportin TheCourierNews of 200 propertyowners having been fined was in-correct, and, he added, John J.McCormack, who complained aboutthe ordinance at the February 25council session had overstated thefee for the collection service for hismother's home on Harding Street.

Mr. Greco said his committeeshould be given the opportunity tostudy the ordinance before makingany decision on Us enforcement, butMr. Shcrr should continue the en-forcement proceedings to keep thetown in compliance with stale luwand to prevent illegal dumping untilthe committee made its report.. He held up a picture of a WestBroad Street property where he saidillegal dumping was taking place.

Third Ward Councilman KennethL. MacRitchic said he had been (oldby former.Mayor Richard H. Bagger

-and Town i Administrator John F.MaJJoy, Jr. the ordinance was mcafltas i health-protection measure toprevent illegal dumping, not as ameansof "collection for the haulers,"and he was surprised Mr. Sherr sentout the letters without notifying thecouncil.

Mr. Sherr replied he had no inputbefore the ordinance was passed andcouldn't see how he could ignorecomplaints.

He agreed, after several moreminutes of discussion, to delaysending out more notices to reportedviolators and second warning noticesto those he had alieady notified andnot to seek fines until the Solid Waste

Committee studied the situation.The .council also heard a report

front Mrs. Barbara Vincentsen, thearchitect for the Municipal Buildingrenovation project, and Police ChiefAnthony J.

Mrs. Vincentsen also said if thecouncil approved the installation ofan elevator in the build ing during therenovation it would not have to redothe building in 1995 when the federalAmericans with Disabilities Act re-quires all public buildings of threestories or more to have elevators.

She estimated the cost of the el-evator to be $100,000 and the rede-sign work in Police Headquarters locost about $ 11,000 to change the planswith a price to be determined later foractual cost of construction.

New Jersey'* last Royal Governor(17»2-17T«),inaporlraltBllrtbutedtoMather Brown. Portrait courtesy ofthe estate uTMri.J. Manderson Castle,Jr. and the Frick Art Reference t i -fcrary.

ary 23,1763 to welcome the newjy-ap-poinled royal governor, William Franklin,the province of New Jersey had twocapitals but no official governor's resi-dence.

On that snowy morning, the sensibleson of the renowned Dr. Franklin had thegood grace locutshorthisrem arks lo theshivering crowd. Then, after a heartydinner and round of toasts, he rode offwith his bride Elizabeth to inspect thecolony and take up rented quarters in theether capital of Burlington.

A Scat of GovernmentDuring that troubled decade before the

outbreak of the Revolution, the leadingcitizens of Perth Amboy took steps tobring Governor Franklin back to live intheir proud city.

Ever since the first settlers had stakedout the sloping headlands iround Amboyin the 1680's, me Proprietors of EastJersey had been striving to make PerthAmboy "The London of America."

By ihe 1760's, they 'd built solid stonehouses, cultivated ample farms al Ihemouth of the Raritan River, erected animposing barracks for the King's troops,a solid courthouse, a stout brick repositoryfor Proprietary records and docks for Ihelargest ships of the day.

There was also a "well-compacted"church of brick and stone, a bustlingmarketplace, a customs house and braceof good taverns where weary travellerscould wait to be ferried to New York orjostled by stagecoach down the Old PostRoad to Philadelphia.

While ihe population of the town hadgrown only slowly lo about 500, the lotswere large and some of ColonialAmerica's wealthiest families had finehouses cluttered along the water's edge.

The wealthier of mem divided theirlime between fashionable townhouses inNew York City and summer houses inPerth Amboy, where coo) sea breezesfanned (heir hillside gardens and orchards

Through the long springtime of NewJersey's Colonial era, travellers oftenexclai medal the beauty of Perth Amboy'slownsite.

When William Penn first visitedAmerican in 1682, he wrote, "I havenever seen such before in my life."

What brought the first stnleis lo AmboPointin 1684, however, was theprospectof freedom from religious persecution inScotland, whertdissenling Presbyterianshad been fined, jailed, tortured and finallybanished for their faith.

From its founding. New Jersey hadbeen a haven for the oppressed and per-secuted, and Perth Amboy, its finestoceanport, became the magnet that attractedmany refugees in the late 1600's.

How Perth Amboy came lo be, tornearly a century, the capital of half ofpresent-day New Jersey is a unique talethat helps explain the slate's split per-sonality two centuries after the Declara-tion of Independence.

First the Swedes and Finns moved upfrom the South lo establish trading postsalong the Delaware River in the early1600's,onlytobedisplaced by Ihe Dutch,backed by their strong, shallow-draftnavy.

that fronted on High Street, I h * building commanded a fine view of old Perth Amboy, then East Jersey's capital.

By 1660. there were Dutch settlementsin New Jersey from Delaware Bay in theWest lo Bergen in the East.

The fall of New Amsterdam to theEnglish in 1664 opened the way for rapidEnglish colonization in New Jersey. By1680, there were 3,000 settlers in newtowns from Elizabethtown lo the whalingsettlements at Cape May.

But the fastest growth came with theQuakers, who peacefully absorbed theolder settlements on the Delaware,founding Salem in l675,thenBurlingtbnin 1677 making it the capital of WestJersey.

The colony had been divided on a linefrom Lillle Egg Harbor tothe north westernfrontier as early as 1665underroyal granttoSirGeorgeCaiteret and Lord Berkeley

In 1683, the Proprietors sent one oftheir number, Quaker merchant GawenLawrie. to East Jersey with instruction*to establish a town to become the capita]of the Eastern Division of New Jersey atthe mouth of the Rarilan river. The Boardof Proprietors of the Province of EastNew Jersey described Ambo Point as a"sweet, whole-some anddelightful"site"If the Lord permits," they proclaimed intheir first prospectus, "we intend, with allconvenient speed, to erect and build ourprincipal town, which by reason of situalipn, must in all probability be Ihe mostconsiderable for merchandise, trade andfishing in those parts."

The 12 Proprietors sel out al once lo layout 150 town lots and began to erectbuildings. They soon doubled the numberof .shareholders and briskly sold sharesund lands Ihroughoul the 1680's.

However, it was not until 1686, afterIhe Earl of Perth allowed 200 oppressedScots Presbyterians to leave their homesto emigrate lo Amboy that the place be-gan to flourish.

The Indians called Ihe sile "Ambo."Since the Earl of Perth was uclively in-terested in the welfare of the new venturein America, the same soon became PerthAmboy, and in 1718 was chartered us ncity under thai name.

The rich lands at the mouth of IheRarilnnbecame notableamongNortheincolonies for Ihe size and prosperity oftheir farms. While most Jerseymen tilledfarms of 200to300acres,lhe Proprietorsat Perth Amboy awarded 10,000-acreholds toeach stockholder with one share,paying themselves handsome dividendsin lands thai were lololal 17,500 acresforeach share. Even after subdivision, Iheavernge farm around Perth Amboy was1,(XX) acres.

From the beginning, this disparity ofwealth between East and West Jerseylandowners caused political turmoil andjealousy thai festered down lo the lime ofIhe Revolution.

In the interim, there were numerousland riots and minor revolts that led, by1702, to annexation of the Jerseys by IheBritish government and replacement ofproprietary government by royal tiulhor-ily.

On April 15. 1702, Queen Anne ac-cepted the .surrender of the Proprietors'power, allowing the grateful inhabitantsof "the garden of America" lo turn tolilling line) trading with England.

The Queen decreed that, henceforth,there would be twin capitals ul Burlingtonunit Perth Amboy, that sessions of courtrtnd legislative assemblies were to alter-nate between them.

government buildings in New Jersey.The Governor's Palace

When Ihe new Royal GovernorFranklin visited Perth Amboy in Fcbru-ary, 1763, he couldn't help admiring thehandsome new house rising on a highknoll overlooking Raritan Bay. After atour of inspection of Ihe colony, he con-cluded il would make an appropriateresidence lor Ihe governor white presid-ing in East Jersey.

The inconvenience of rented qunrtersin Burlington added to his interest inproviding such a .suitable home for him-self and his bride.

On May 10, 1763. he wrote his supe-riors in London, 'There Is one thing inwhich a Governor finds himself muchdistressed on his arrival here, & thnl is theWani of a House forhisResidence. Thereis no one belonging lo the Province forthat Purpose, and he is generally oblig'dlo remain some Months in Lodgings be-fore he can obtain a House any wayssuitable; & when he has with Difficultyprocur'd one he is still liable lo be turnedout of il at Ihe Will of Ihe Landlord."

"The Council of Proprietors in EastJersey have lately began toerect a Buildingin Amboy which they propose whenfinish'dto Id lolheGovernorforthc timebeing.

"But as the Province in general seemaverse to their Governors living in a 1 louseof ihe Proprietors, of whom they hnvcsome Jenlously (sic), Ihey may be ensilybrought I believe topurchase und furnishthis Mouse of the Proprietors, & to build& furnish oilier ul Burlington for the litePurpose,together with proper Rooms forthe uses of the Council & Assembly.

'Those of the Members who are for IheScheme, lire of Opinion that Ihey shouldbe able lo carry it in Ihe House, providedihey might be allowed lo strike ihe Sumnecessary which Ihey compute at 10 or12,000 £ currency."

II would be fully 12 years before theLondon authorities would allow thecolony to print any more money, as iheywere under pressure from merchants inLondon claiming lhal cheap provincialpaper money was being used lo paycolonists' debls in England. For 10 years,Franklin would advance one scheme af-ter another to raise Ihe money to buy orbuild proper government buildings.

The "House of the Proprietors" thaicaught Ihe young governor's eye on thaifirst flying visit to Perth Amboy had,dwinglhnt time, taken shiipe us one of thefinest homes in America.

Undoubtedly convinced lhat a hand-some house would lure royal governorsand government to Penh Amboy and, inIhe bargain, enhance the value und com-merce of their town, Ihe Board of Pro-prietors of the Eastern Division of NewJersey had met two yenrs before Gover-nor Franklin 'sarrivnP'to consider whether

it would not be for tk* honor of thefroprirton w r i t e taacmf of dM ftpv-met lo provid* • convenient heuaa for theresidence of. a Governor in this ate-tropoJii."

According lo the miaulei of tintmeeting on March 25.1761, the boardresolved "thai one or more convenientlots should be purchased." They agreed"that the said house when built shall becalled and known by the name of IheProprietary House in Amboy."

Pour months later, M July 14, 1761,HisMajesty'sM-guaship-or-war Alcidtsailed from England foe America, cany-ing among its distinguished pauengen amaster builder by Ihe name of John Ed-ward Pryor, probably a Seol by birth, whohad plied hii trade in and around Londonfor a number of yean.

Before the end of the decade, Pryorwould dciign and build some of thehandsomest dwelling! in the Colonies ofNew York and New Jeriey.

These would include the pretentiouscountry seat of William Alexander, self-styled Lord Stirling, at Basking Ridge,and several important buildings in NewYork including Charles Ward Apthorp's"Elmwood," which his been judged by aleading authority to have more nearlyapproached the classical ideal than anypre-revolulionary structure, and ihetownhouse of Archibald Kennedy, atNumber One Broadway, during theRevolutionary War headquarters of bothGeoige Washington and the Britishcommanders, Sir William Howe and SirHenry Clinton.

But Pryor'i first undertaking was theProprietary House and it is perhaps thepurest example of British Palladian ar-chitecture in America. Fortunately, Pryorkept detailed account books of his wort.His first entry for Proprietary House wasdated October 29,1761:

"Went to Amboy and Attended theGentlemen...Received Orders to makeout a Set of Plant" and, less than twoweeks later. "Waited on Ihe Earl of Stirlingand Mr. (Robert Hunter) Morris andReceived Orders lo alter the Plans."

"As soon as ihe river and bay were clearof ice the next spring, Pryor set out, inMarch, 1762, lo find Ihe best available"Material, ViB.Brkks.Stonei.Timber,.,"at Rahway, Newark, in Ihe mountains loIhe northwest and in New York City,where he maintained a supply yard."

On April 3,1762, the work began. Onthat dale, Pryor recorded, "Set thelabourers lodigging." By this lime, he'dordered Ihe 11 -acre site cleared. By July16, he could celebrate his progress asevidenced by this entry: "To 4 GallonsBeer gave the Workmen...Rearing theFloor...8(shillings)."

It soon became apparent that Ihe £3,000 earmarked by the Proprietors forthe grand undertaking simply was notenough. In May, 1763,Governor Franklinnotedin an official report lo London thai,in the seven years since the outbreak ofthe last French and Indian War, priceshad tripled.

Governor's Mansion, Seat of Royal Government in New Jersey, UndergoesComplete Restoration With Aid of Proprietary House Association and State

•xwiutiM. Although the home was allbut natty for the royal governor, be wasanytfynt but ready to become kioccuptm.

Alter failing to win London over to nilp iM to buy the house,Governor Franklinrenewed hit deep attachments to hishometown of Philadelphia, where hitfoster mother and beloved sitter Sillyand many friends still lived,

liablefor YellowSilk Damask Curtains,Chairs,etc." For the din ing parlor, he specified a"ted and while piper—ihe curtains to bea ml and white Check of the best kind,"and "the Governor's study or Office acommon Green Paper will do as greatPart of the Wall will be covered withBooks, Maps. etc...

'•Governor's & Mrs. F'sBed Chamber"was to be "blue tt white striped, of aparticular Pattern, sent for to England byCap!. All ," while Ihe guest chamber wasto have the finest decoration, "ahandsomeCrimson Colour'd piper — to suitCrimson Damask Bed & Furniture."

Early in 1774, James Parker, directorof renovaliom for the Proprietors and

la his own hand, Governor Franklinsketched floorplana, detailing whalwallcoverings he required to match thefine furniture he was bringing fromFranklin Park:

The grand hallway was to be papered"with Paper nude on Purpose to suit thePannels, Chimney, etc..." to have the"Falls of Passaick & Cohoet representedin black and white in Imitation of Cop-

Comptroller of the Philadelphia post perplale on a Buff coloured ground...theoffice under his father and clerk of the same kind for the Staircase on which IhePennsylvania Assembly, he was a tall, FallsofNiagaratobtpainledorslained."handsome man "with the eye and figure The drawing room was "lobe papere 'of a veteran." indeed, he'd reached ihe with a handsome Yellow Paper suliablrank of captain in the Indian Wan and ~had helped in his father'* scientific ex-periments, for which he had received amatter's degree from Oxford Universityin England.

By the lime the Proprietary House wasunder roof, he had purchased a S7J-acrefarm near Burlington where he pioneeredin scientific farming, kept adeerpark andformal gardens and hosted, among othertravelling dignitaries, Virginia farmerGeorge Washington.

Governor Franklin also maintained ahome In Burlington overlooking theDelaware River from which he actively .supported his father and his ally, JosephGalloway, in Pennsylvania politics.

Father and son Franklin shared manyinterests, one of which was to create ahuge new province in the Indian territo-ries beyond the Appalachians, no doubtwith the idea that, one day. GovernorFranklin would be its chief executiveofficer and the proprietoroflhousandsofacres.

His close alliance with his father'spolities,however, only served toslagnatehis career in royal service, and by 1773,he had twice been passed over for gov-ernorships in richer provinces, even asthe western land speculations were sty-mied by the elder Franklin's enemies inEngland.

Governor Franklin could not be accusedof neglecting New Jersey, however, de-spite his ambitions. He was, withoutdoubt, its ablest and most progressiveroyal governor, as well as its longest inoffice.

He ran lotteries to build and improveroads and bridges, helped found QueensCollege, now Rutgers, introduced a pio-neering welfare plan to aid destitutefarmers, fought for a loan office to alle-viate the colony's cash shortage and es-tablished the nation's first Indian reser-vation at Brotherton in Burlington County.

But by 1773, he found himself strappedfor funds, his requests for raises turneddown by the penny-pinching Assembly.He was sinking ever-deeper inlodebt.

After a bitter five-year fight with theAssembly over the theft of tax returnsfrom Treasurer Stephen Skinner'shousein Perth Amboy, Governor Franklinturned away from the increasingly-radicalAssembly and decided to move closer tofriends and supporters on the ProvincialCouncil, most of them members of thePerth Amboy gentry and Proprietors ofEast Jersey. When they offered lo arrangelorent him Proprietary House for X 60 ayear, hi*.housing allowance fiom.IheAssembly, he jumped at the offer and puthis Rancocus estate and Burlingtonproperties on ihe market.

From 1766 to 1771 .Proprietary House,only roughly finished inside, had beenoccupied by Chief Justice FrederickSmylhe. For at least part of the next threeyears it was empty and, evidently, beingvandalized: of 450 windowpanes, 176had to be replaced before the Franklinscould move in.

A demanding tenant, GovernorFranklin had other requirements beforehe consented to take up residency in thehouse. On September 17,1773, Sneakerof the Assembly Cortlandt Skinner in-formed the Board of Proprietors thatGovernor Franklin would lease the houseif it were repaired according to hisspecifications.

Four days luler, Franklin toured thehouse and grounds and requested reno-valions the board figured would cost about£ 500, nearly nine years' rent.

Among the improvements he specifiedwere a new kitchen floor, "glazeing,painting und paper the House, a Bricknecessary House, a Garden to be fene'd,a pump inthe Well, aNewGale and Roadto Ihe House and u frum'd coach houseand slables...lwclve Stalls for horses, sixat each end," all of which was to be"compleat as soon as possible."

The governor woujd also insist on fiOlead window sash weights, repairs lo thegutters and downspouts, iron firebacksfor a dozen fireplaces, and a cislern forrainwater. But his most specific requestwas transmitted a few days later,

It would take Roosevelt until the fol-lowing December, two months after Ihcgovernor moved in, lo fill the exaclingrequirements. Meanwhile, Roosevelt hudto scour the ships from London and Ihcshops of New York City to come evenclose to the governor's orders: a blue and

wnite flowered paper for ihe sludy wasrejected, instead ending on the walls ofIhe housekeeper's room, which Franklinhadn't asked to be papered. The long-suffering Roosevelt had to submit 28patterns for the sludy before Parker'sconimillee was satisfied with one.

September 6,1775 for the CongressionalPost Office Committee,of which he wasChairman. He stayed in Ihe guest cham-ber at the Proprietary Hou se. As evidencedby a letter from the governor to his fatheron September 6, there were long discus-sions between father and son during thatvisit: Benjamin had long berated Williamas "a thorough government man" butwished him out of politics. They arguedabout the Crown versus the colonies,Until there was nothing more to be said.By this lime, the elder Franklin was arevolutionary, his son a confirmed loy-alist.

They would meet once more before thewar, when Benjamin relumed from NewEngland, where he had gone lo conferwith General Washington and incidentallyto bring away his favorite sisier, JaneMecom. from the spreading rebellion.

For her part, William's aunt found"Governor Franklin's house,..very mag-nificent." But the elder Franklin madereferences to "thatTory House" and wouldnot linger longer than a day nor furtherdiscuss what each man had come toconsider Ihe other man's folly.

The summer calm before the storm ofrevolution was over, Governor Franklin,longsitenlon his views, in Ihe fall of 1775began to speak out against the radicals,dismissing his old friend, Wil l iamAlexander, from the Council when thatgentleman look command of a rebelregiment.

In turn, Alexander put the Governorunder surveillance, sent troops to paradeoutside ihe Proprietary House and gainedCongress' permission to seek evidenceof Franklin's treason against the newgovernment.

For many months, the'been forwarding confident!Ihe Earl of Dartmouth in England on Ihear'ivitiesof Ihe secret Second ContinentalCongress provided him, apparently un-wittingly, in long letters, from his oldPhiladelphia friend, Joseph Galloway, adelegate from Pennsylvania.

The Governor also forwarded colonialnewspapers and urged England to movequickly toconciliale, offering himself, asthe last royal governor at his post inAmerica, as the mediator.

One of these packets of letters, marked"Secrete and Confidential," was inter-cepted and sent to Congress, which di-rected IhatGovemor Franklin be arrested.On January 8, 1776, in the Governor'sown words, "About two o'clock thatNight...I was awaked with a violentknocking at my Door, which alarmed myWife so much that I was not withoutApprehensions of her Dying with theFright. Looking through the ChamberWindow I perceived that a Number ofarmed Men had invested the House."

The Governor was placed under housearrest for five months, during which Ejntche utlempted to keep a semblance of royalauthority in New Jersey, although thecolony was now under Ihe power of thenew Provincial Congress and PerthAmboy was an armed camp with morelhan 1,700 American troops.

In June, Franklin attempted lo convenethe old Assembly lo lay before it a plan ofconciliation with England. He was ruledan enemy of Ihe new Congress and taken

toConnecticut, where he was iwpriinnadfor I wo years and five morths, in solitaryconfinement for 250 day*,

He would never tec his wife again. Sberefused the invitation of the governor'ssisier, Sally, tocome live in Philadelphia.She preferred to stay in the ProprietaryHouse loguard her belonging!.

None of Ihe Franklins would see PerthAmboy again. Used as a base camp forone arm y or the other through much of thewar.il was virtually destroyed., St. Peter'schurch used asa stable for calvary horses,its ore hards and fences cut upfor firewood,its gravestones used to help cook food, itshouses crowded with officers and men. In1784, a friend of ihe last royal governorof New Jersey would write tohiminexilein England:

"As the Times are likely to becomemore and more difficult, and will con-sequently require more frequent inett-Ings of ihe Council, I have <tho it willoccasion me a considerable additionalexpense) resolved on moving to Amboy,where] can withgreattreaseassemblethem lhan at Burlington my presentresidence.

"Perth Amboy at present exhibits ascene of Poverty and distress...YourHouse is in a state of ruin, its declaredpast repair..," and an Anglican preacher.Rev. Joseph Bend, would write hauntinglyits eulogy before leaving Ihe devastatedtown:

rL-ironically, ihe nun who restored JheProprietary House in the decade after IheRevolution was, from all evidence, aBritish spy.

He was John Ralloon, a Perth Amboymerchant who remained in the townthroughout the war, trading with bothsides and with neutrals between the lines.

After James Parker went to his moun-tain retreat following the British evacu-ation, he sent to Ralloon for items ofapparel otherwise unavailable: At onepoint, he ordered six silk scarves for hislady which could only have been obtained

The WestminsterThe longer tenant ofthe old Proprietary

House was a self-made millionaire namedMatthias Bruen, a merchant who beganbusiness with a small store s< the inter-section of Smith and Water Streets inPerth Amboy. By the 1820's he couldboast membership in thenewcommercialaristocracy that had replaced the oldlanded gentry of the town.

When the Cfcmden and Amboy railroadwas built in the 1830's,Bnien's fortunessoaredeven hither. Asearlyas 1821,thispillar, of the Presbyterian Church wasalready renowned for his philanthropy.

In December. 1821, when GovernorIsaac Williamson declared a statewideDay of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer.Bruen took to the pulpit in Woodbridgeand made a ringing discourse on the fnutsof labor in the new republic and ineirpleasingness in the eyes of God:

"Our individual happiness makes upthe sum of our national prosperity," Bruenproclaimed, "and public blessings requirepublic commemoration." Bruen enunci-ated the credo of his age: "Wealth ispower; it is. in all climates, a sovereignstimulus to human exertion...All classesof society are productive (in America),for none are loo high or loo low forculturc.Wheiher you look at your fields,our children or yourselves, you havereason to bless God."

The fields were indeed good lo Bnienand his heirs, and through Ihe first half ofIhe 19th Century, their stores and ware-houses sprawled all along the PerthAmboy waterfront, where they gatheredand dispensed the rich harvests of theRarjiaa VaJJey. i •AWfteWDrueif «KTIn I M O h - n e i r s

By 1883, ihe family was ready lo giveup the old house. They turned it over tothe Presbyteritn Board of Relief forDisabled Ministers and the Widows andOrphans of Deceased Ministers.

The finest site in Perth Amboy, afterexactly 200 years, was back in Ihe handsof the Presbyterians who had come toPenh Amboy from Scotland for religiousrefuge. After 20 years, it was relumed tothe family, sold in 1904 and its landssubdivided for homesiles, leaving Iheonce-proud Proprietary House little morethan a rundown hotel in its latest incar-nation.

Struggle for SurvivalThe struggle to save the Proprietary

At every step, Iheeffort has bwncarrkdmilby civic -mindedcitizens who have donated their lime,skill and patience to preserve the premierbuilding of the old provincial capital in arestoration drivethat has acted as a catalystfor Ihe historic district of Perth Amboy.

As early »$ 1914, a group of PerthAmboy citizens banded together as theWestminster Historical Society to raisefunds in order lo purchase and restore theProprietary House.

In the 1930'slhe building was measuredand plans drawn by the HistoricalAmerican BuildingsSurvey.urid Ihe plansfiled in Ihe National Archives in Wash-ington.

About 20 years later, a plan wassponsored by Ihe Penh Amboy LionsClub to seek Mate and federal aid to turnwhat hod become a rooming house into apublic museum and community center.

Dorothy V.Compton, was a gift of J 1.000 from thePerth AmboyWomeo'iClub.AMS.OOOseed money gift from a private foundationthen enabled a program of organizationand historical research that led to publi-cs! ion of 20,000 illustrated educationalbrochures that were mailed to 13,000interested cititens, schools, civic groupsand libraries. Additional funding of$l3.<M0cjiaM«icontinued architecturaland historical research. Thi > lime, for thefirst time, the $3,000 raited by the asso-ciation was more than matched by grantifrom the New jersey Historical Com-mission and Ihe New Jersey BicenlcmualCommission. The grants also subsidizedpublication of the first edition of thisbooklet: Virtually all of the S.OOOcopiesprinted have been told lo raise more fundsfor research and preservation.

The year 1976 was a critical and suc-cessful period forme Proprietary House. ••Widi 248 members by this time, the as-sociation was able to earmark a budgetfor operai ion and education of more than$10,000. In May of that bicentennial year,a document dated March 26,1763 wasdiscovered in the East Jersey Proprietors"Office. The document signed by Ihebuilder, John Edward Pryor. set forth thedetails necessary for completing thebuikluu. The discovery coincided withihe decision by the stale Department ofEnvironmental Protection to lease theproperty to the association so that resto-ration could proceed with locally-raisedfunds. By June. 1976, much of the firstphase of restoration had been accom-plished: Removal of out-of-period ma-terials, installation of French drains andwaterproofing of exterior basement walls,restoration of Basement window openings,backfilling around the building to Iheoriginal grade and other emergencymeasures.

Over Ihe next 10 years, volunteershelped lo restore several rooms in Ihehouse.uncoveringold floorsandsills andfireplaces, restoring the great vaulted winecellar as a splendid room for receptions,making meetings inside Ihe house pos-sible, encouraging widened public par-ticipation. Both ihe Rotary and KiwanisClubs were actively involved. But theprocesses of restoration were constantlybeing outstripped by processes of decay.and after a decade more of dedicatedattempts by local citizens to stabilize Ihecondiiionoflhebuilding.theassocialion .decided to acquiesce in plans for major ]renovation by the privately-owned Res-•oration Partnership of Boston, directedby architect William Pavlovsky.whohadbeen employed in the early stages ofresearch as a graduate student and hasremainedconstant in efforts to documentthe building's history and to promoterestoration.

TheRestonitionPartnershipplancalledfor Ihe slate lo lease the house and 3.5acres of surrounding land lo it for 25years. At a cost of $1,5 million, thepartnership agreed to restore and renovatethe house's exterior and finish Ihe interiorof ihe 1809 wing, renting out 73 per centof the overall space as offices.The unusualagreement, approved by the state andfederal authorities, stipulated that the"most historically significant portion ofIhe structure" be restored for "publicenjoymenl."This museum sfj*ce includesthe original parlor, dining room,housekeeper's chamber, kitchen, winecellar and servants hall.

Now thai the building has been saved,the historic interior spaces to be used as amuseum and educational center must berestored, decorated and furnished in au-thentic period pieces, a cosily andpainstaking stage that is only just begin-ningandwasnotcoveredbylhe$2B9,000in state funds provided for the renovationof Ihe exterior. With more than 360members now.theassocialion is carry ingout a remarkable number of projects toraise funds and triin skilled volunteersfor a wide range of needed services. In thefirst year .since ihe major renovation wascompleted, these activities have includedstaginganumberofspecialevenisbothinthe house and throughout the city. Thefirst event, on September 18, 198K', 22years after the first Board of Trusteeswon a charter for Ihe association, was amembership luncheon and concert on thegrounds by Ihe Garden Slate SymphonicBnnd followed by guided tours of thehouse. To assist in such touts, a group ofdocenls has been organized arid trained InIhe history of Ihe house,

In December, 1988, a candlelightconceit wa» performed in (he House byPhilomuslca with partial funding by theMkWIesexCountyCullural and HeritageCommission.

Education Board Unanimously BacksFormation of Superintendents' Group

toummntetMutto probe the creation of the coalition,but added that the divisiveelement ofhave versus have-not districts wouldbe obvious.

"I t ' l l be seen as the suburban 30versus the urban 30," he said.

The impetus for forming the asso-ciation was the potential loss of be-tween $4 million and $5 million instate contributions to the district1!Social Security plan and pensionfunds because of the controversialQuality Education Act.

Theunpopu Urity of this legislationand the rest of embattled GovernorJames J. Florio's lax packages arewidely believed to have caused theRepublican backlash last Novemberlhalawep Pamocrits.oui of majori-tieivtlaw tUteUsgislaltink,

Dr. Smith's participation in themove to create this super associationis drawn in part from the Edina,Minnesota, experiences of Dr. RalphLieber, the South Orangc-MaplewoodSchools Superintendent.

Dr. Lieber. Dr. Smith said, helpedcreate a similar organization whosegoal was to lobby against state leg-islation that unreasonably burdenslocal tax districts.

Dr. Smith said the move to formthe group comes from districts which"have a legitimate concern about theability to maintain or develop qualityeducation."

He added while Governor Floriohas indicated he will not seek to buckthe legislative tide against the effectsof the act, Ihe courts might uphold theact, This would still leave districtslike Westfield liable for the millionsof dollars.

"We have some need for self-de-fense here," he said.

The board approved in advancethree motions lo be forwarded at Iheassociation's first meeting: First, to

establish the organization, name itand set its watchwords as quality and"equity for all districts and place alobbyist jn Trenton; second, to set theinjtial membership fee of $500; andthird, lo set up an ad hoc committee toplan a follow-up meeting, to whichother districts would be invited, todraft an explanatory letter to both the,New Jersey School Board Association'and lo the New Jersey Association ofSuperintendents to explain thecoalition's purpose and to initiatecommunication with poorer district*.

Dr. Smith said that Assistant Su-.perintendenl of Curriculum and In-struction, Dr. David J. Rock, locatedthe program during a routine check.

Mrs. Carol Gerson, the district'sSubstance Abuse Coordinator, pre-sented an hour-long report about herstudent-assistance programs in theEdison and Roosevelt IntermediateSchools to the board.

Her report included a video tape ofan eighth-grade musical show calledComing ofA^e,

The show is intended to help ado-lescents understand und cope withthe problems of change, growth andpeer pressure.

Later, the board mvininiously ap-proved a grant proposal for $37,500.

The grunt, which would come : •through the New Jersey Departmentof Education under Ihe Drug FreeSchools and Community Act, would .pay 100 per cent of Mrs. Gerson'ssalary. The board received a similar$50,000 grunt Ihis past school year. :

Rake and Hoe Club BeginsLandscape Design Course

Aa • Rake and Hoe Garden Clubmember, Mrs. Michelle Healy issharing her expertise in landscapedesign with other club members

Trui three-part landscape designcourse was planned to encouragemembers to create a design for theirown yards.

The first step was to obtain a plotplan on which the c lubmembercouldchut what already existed on herproperty. From this she could decidewhat to keep and what to move orremove bearing in mind such factorsas amount of sunlight, prevailingwinds and drainage.

Mrs. Healy stressed scale andproportion are very important ele-ments in these designs. The new de-sign is created with the knowledge itmay not be accomplished in onegrowing season. But at least the gar-dener has a plan from which to workand can select her plant material ac-cordingly.

The instructor for this course. Mrs.Healy, is a landscape designer bytrade and runs her own businesscalled Landscape and Garden De-signs, Inc.

She is the President of the Rakeand Hoe Club, an accredited land-scape critic of the Garden Club ofNew Jersey and a gardening con-sultant of the state club. This is thesecond year she has taught this coursefor club members.

The next meeting of the Rake andHoe Club will be on Wednesday,March 11, at 12:30 p.m. at the West-field "Y."

Hostesses for the day will be Mrs.Mary McClellan, Mrs. Jan Swart andMrs. Carol Wagner. The centerpiecewill be created by Mrs. Anna Lanam.

Woman's Club to MarkIs 97th Anniversary

on February 22, 1895 in the PublicLibrary. It was decided to draw aconstitution and by-laws and thesecond meeting, attended by 40women, was held in the social roomof the Standard Building on March 8,1895.

The purpose of the new club, in-spired by intellectual and culturalpursuits, was social and civic im-provement of the environment. Thefirst club President was Miss EmmaBridges.

Active participation in the generalfederation started when the club wasfederated in 1896 and as early as1906 one member of the Westfieldclub acted at the Secretary of theStale Federation and a First VicePresident served in 1910.

From 1970 to 1972 Mrs. George F,Weinheimer, Jr. was elected the statePresident and other members havefilled many district and state offices.

As the club grew so did its civicresponsibilities. When the need for afree public library was felt, a townlibrary committee was formed andthe past club President, Miss Bridges,served as the Chairman. The clubcontinues to support the library.

The club was responsible for for-mulating the District Nursing Asso-ciation, the chapter of (he Red Cross,Girl Scouts,Thrift Shop, and the firstChristmas collection for theChildren's Country Home, now theChildren'sSpeciahzed Hospital, wastaken in 1911.

The club supported the statefederation 'amove in 1915 to establisha college for women, now DouglassCollege.

In 1919 • playground committeewas organized and was sponsored bythe club until it was taken over by thetown. The club, along with other or-ganizations, supported the foundingof the Westfield Adult School.

Among the charities receiving aidfrom the club currently are theChamber of Commerce, Children'sSpecialized Hospital, OverlookHospice, the Westfield Rescue Squad,the Westfield United Fund, theWestfield Day Care Center, IheFiremen's and Police BenevolentAssociations, Washington Rock GirlScout Council, Boy Scouts ofAmerican and the Weslfield Com-munity Center.

Since it was founded, the club hasbeen active in promoting educationon the individual, community andstate levels.

A continuing aid to education wasestablished by 1949 nnd since then67 four-year scholarships nnd 98freshman grants have been awardedto graduating seniors ul WestfieldHigh School, The Education Com-mittee busies itn selection of recipients

on academic achievement, leadershipand financial need.

In 1955 a four-page club paperbecame a monthly magazine. TheBulletin, and today it contains ap-proximately 18 pages and is mailedto each member to inform her of clubactivities for the coming month.

The dream of the group's ownclubhouse materialized in 1955 withthe purchase of the home at 318 SouthEuclid Avenue.

After considerable work the housewas dedicated in April, 1956 duringthe Presidency of Mrs. Ethan A.Hescock, who is a present honoraryclub member. ,

Tocelebratethe bicentennial of the. United States, the club was respon-sible for the restoration of the kiosknewsstand at the railroad station.There also was a school coloringcontest and the commitment for thepurchase of 250 flags lo be displayedin Westfield on holidays.

The Club of Westfield consists ofthree separate groups of women —the regular club, which meets duringthe day and the Junior Woman's Cluband the Fortnightly Group whichmeets in the evening. There is a totalmembership of 246 which includes10 members who have been in theclub for more than 50 years.

Members of the club includewomen of all ages who want lobroaden their horizons by meetingnew friends, gaining more knowledgeof their communities and the slateand world around them, learning newskills, sharing creative talents,bringing new interests into theirhomes and accepting the challenge ofimproving their social, cultural andphysical environment.

costs, because the 94 employeeswhose jobs are in question wouldunquestionably land on Ihe county'swelfare rolls.

"My husband is disabled. I needmyjob. What do they want7Welfare7"she asked.

The theme of con cuts hit homeduring the meeting.

Freeholder, Miss Linda Lee Kelly,said she wanted a thorough efficiencyreview throughout the county's em-ployment scale.

Miss Kelly said she hoped the fi-nance committee was looking intoevery department of county govern-ment for cuts, particularly at themiddle and high salaries.

Slatting cuts with the lowest sala-ries county employees was unjust,she said.

"It is just unjusi, not fair, its notequitable. We have lo look at theupper levels as well," she said.

FreeholderWalter McLeod said the94 should continue to attend theFreeholder sessions to stay in thepublic eye.

He added he and other members ofthe board were opposed to the layoffsand privatization of jobs al Runnells.

Freeholder McLeod noted the en-tire focus on these 94 employees was

' wrong, given the fact the county'sprojected $ 11 to $ 12 million shortfallwould nol be resolved.

"If we were to get rid of all 94 itwouldn't gel rid of the deficit," hesuid.

Freeholder Chairman Louis A.Sanlagata said after the meeting ne-gotiations with the union represent-ing the Runnells housekeeping anddietary employees were ongoing.

"It's still a case of progress, henoted.

The blue ribbon managementpanel's report calls for another$500,000 in savings at Runnells byprivatizing the facility's 25-bed unitof physical medicine and rehabilita-tion.

At the lop of the panel's recom-mendations are savings of ass much as$950,000 in hciillh insurance costcontainment measures.

Another savings of $400,000couldbe realized through self-insurance ormi insurance pool for workers' com-pensution. A bi-weekly payroll planwould save up to$75,000, accordinglo the report.

Belter motor pool managementcould result in a $280,000 .savings,by limiting the number of employeeswith assigned vehicles from 79 lo 14.The county's automobiles total morethan 550 vehicles,

Also, road-paving Nerviccaandthecounty's Springfield compelling fa-cility would lie privatized for a mv-ing* of $600,000, Staff reductionsthroughout the Department of Oji-crntionul Service* could yield a fur-ther $630,000.

Methodists Hear LectliresOn Personality Types

The Reverend David F. Harwoodof the First United Methodist Churchof Westfield has begun a seven-weekSunday Lenten sermon series entitled"Wounds to the Soul."

It is based upon a very ancientsystem of understanding personalitytypes called the Enneagram, pro-nounced Any-a-gram, that has beenhanded down from generation to re-generation.

THewordenneagrammeans"nine-pointed," and so its theory maintainsthere are nine different types of per-sonality, each unique and funda-mentally distinguished by its par-ticular passion or "need."

Understanding these "needs," whenthe needbecomesobsessiveihe word"sin" can be substituted, can provideaccess toourown souls, according toThe Reverend Harwood.

Also, understanding the ennengramenables us to see the world throughother people's eyes and accept themin (heir differences, he added.

The nine personality types are asfollows:

Dr. Dorothy W. Cantorines the forces that propel womeninto politics and leadership.

By investigating the lives of 25women elected to high-level gov-ernment office, including SenatorBarbara Mikulski of Maryland,Governor Ann Richards of Texas andRepresentative Patricia SchroederofColorado and Representative BarbaraBoxer of California, Dr. Cantor andher co-authors uncover the life ex-periences and personal qualities thatenable them to achieve positions of

power.Contrary to the popular idea that a

strong, aggressive daughter takes hercue from her father, the authors say itis mothers'who have the greater in-fluence on girls who grow up to lead.From their mothers these womenreceive the message being indepen-dent, competent and aggressive isappropriate female behavior.

When interviewed for Women inPower, many of America's topwomen leaders attributed their suc-cess partly to their experiences at all-female schools,

Despite declining enrollments andfeelings among students, single-sex •schools are limited in scope, womensuchasGeraldine Perraro, the formerRepresentative and Vice Presidentialcandidate, now running for the Sen-ate in New York, say these schoolsprovided Ihe role models and nur-turing encouragement that inspiredthem to strive for positions of powerand to compete self-confidently inthe world at large.

Women in Power reveals the im-portance of loving, supportive parentsin creating successful leaders.

Women such as Senator Mikulskidescribe how parents who knew howto make them feel loved and specialgave them the crucial sense of secu-rity that enabled them to take thekinds of risks they would confront inrunning for office.

Contrary to popular belief and priorresearch, 25 ofAmerica/stop womenleaden dispute Ihe commonly-heldidea most successful womengre w upas only children, were the oldest childor were substitutes for sons the familylacked, according lo the authors.

Instead the great majority of thesepolitical women have brothers andsisters, and they range in birth orderfrom first tomiddle to youngest child,the authors say.

The authors found healthy com-petition between brothers and sistersgives female leaders an anna in whichto learn tobuild coalitions, to win andlose, to take risks and excel, and tosafely learn the limits of their ag-gressive behavior.

Or. Cantor, a psychologist in privatepractice in Westfield, is on the Boardof Directors of the American Psy-chological Association.

Dr. Cantor has written widely inthe area of divorce.

She is the co-author of DivorcedParents and Their Children: A Guidefor Mental Health Professionals(1983) and Women Therapists: AMulti-Theoretical Casebook (1990)and is a forrner President of the NewJersey Psychological Association.

Mn Mulvee Warns Board:Don't Depend on Legislature'Too often over Ihe past few weeks,

I have heard candidates and otherssuggest glibly financial issues willdemand attention as we seek to in-crease the level of our children'sscholastic achievement. Yet, at Ihesame time, I hear sight of relief basedupon on expectation the newly-elected Legislature will correct ihe"financial problem" as it relates toWestfield and similar towns. Thesecomments are intended to suggestfiscal constraints in education arelikely here to say,"RobertD. Mulvee,a candidate for the Weslfield Boardof Education, said this week.

"The fact is, unless an existing lawis changed, beginning in the 1993-1994 school year, Westfield will be-

comeresponsibleforteacher pensionand Social Security costs with a n 'annual price lag of several millionJ

dollars. An additional fact, however.''is a pending court case, which may 'begin trial this spring, could result in 'a determination that would preclude;'the state from continuing topay these 'costs. My point is, notwithstandingthe suggestion the Legislature may'3

act, it would be foolhardy lo assume 'a legislative fix," Mr. Mulvee added!;'

"Moreover, we need to become]more efficient as we educate our ;children in any event. We must con- 'tinually expand the level of student:

achievement because the workplacedemands it. Unfortunately, there is lidunlimited deep pocket lo make that,task easy," he said. ' ',

solutions. School districts must workcooperatively to minimize the dupli-cation of services as a means of re-ducing expenses while maintainingautonomy," Mrs. Salkin added.

"A prime example is our transpor-tation costs, which continue to esca-late each year. Our school district isrequited to provide transportation forbothhandkappedchildrenandpupilsattending non-public schools. SinceWestfield does not bus to privateschools, the district must monetarilycompensate those parents. This bud-get item has increased by 23 per centthis year alone! Neighboring schooldistricts must work together to de-crease this expenditure. By consoli-dating bus routes with adjoiningmunicipalities we can actually im-prove our transportation serviceswhile decreasing spending," thecandidate noted.

"A management tool often used intimes of fiscal restraint is the selec-tive application of policies, For ex-ample, we may continue to target

elementary classes to be small, butchoose slightly larger classes at thesecondary level i f this will providemore choices in the high school cur-riculum," she said.

"These are only a few examples ofhow long-range fiscal planning can

assure Westfield's leadership ineducation. In order Io create newsolutions we need board memberslike myself who understand thecomplexities of education and havebeen actively involved with theboard," Mrs. Satkin noted.

About JIRMS AlexanderThis man was one of the moat colorful ti|urts in pie-Revolutionary history,

not only in this Province, but alto in New York Stale. He came after a toagservice in the British Navy, arriving In tbe Province in 1719. The board bad notmet for several years. It was decadent. There were differences between lbssetlltis and tht members thu led loriouandre»iil*nc«»|ain« them became ofthe board's insistent efforts to collect the quit-ientt. Thii waa another form oftaxdion, whereby the settlers had to pay lo the board so much per acre for farm,wood land, cirykrts. and etc. •

In 1725. Alexander led the rejuvenation of tbe board. New articles ofagreement were made and signed, Alexander became the Surveyor General ofboth die Eastern and the Weitem Diviikns. He was married to the WidowrVovost, who conducted a large general store in New York. He waa Collector ofthe Port of thai ciiy and was a member of the Colonial Council. Not only waa heschooled in law, but was also a Surveyor. Due to the unayatematic methods laforce when he came to the Province, he devised a method and plan of orderlyconveyancing.

The rules and regulations made an orderly procedure out of chaos. Theseinstructions consisted of 17 points, a page of a plotting and the method to bef o l l o w e d . .

Alexander served ihe board until his death in 1751. He wat instrumental ladrafting the Elizabelhlown Bill in Chancery. This was a monumental piaoa ofresearch, making it necessary for Alexander to examine all rf thj Hinnilldocuments relating to the settlement and changes which tookptace (hereafter dplo the lime of the filing of the bill. It was also a tremendous endeavor to print a210-page folio volume in Ihe Colonies at that lime. There are three famousengravings which were engraved at Boston at Ite suggestion of BenjaminFranklin. Noted artists of the time colored some of these map engravings.

One of the most famous of litigations in the world, involving the fieedcai ofthe press, which was instituted by the imprisonment of John Peter Zenger, theprinter of the Journal, was wholly engineered by this man. He was an Olympicrunner, bearing a burning torch, on which was emblazoned. "Freedom. Herewere planned the seeds of the Revolution which did not burst into flames until30 years later.

The Peter Zenger tria] established Ihejrincipat thallhe truth could always beprinted, even though libelous in itself. The motheicountiy adopted this rule oflaw after the decision in this case.

Therefore, in order to search a board title, it is necessary to know the name ofthe Surveyor General and tbe period for which he served.

Mr. Fox Cites AlternativesTo Costly Health Benefits

Michael W. Fb*. a Certified PublicAccountant and a candidate for theBoard of Education, believes addi-tional alternative* to contain health-care costs should, be explored.

After attending the Board of Edu-cation meeting reviewing the 1992-1993 school budget, he stated. "Withtoday's rising cost of health benefits,many employers have opted to con-tain these costs by introducing ben-efits programs which shift some re-sponsibility from the employer to theemployees."

The Weslfield Board of Education

Sys 100 per cent of employee andnily coverage for the hospitaliza-

tion and major medical plans.We Mfield'scoslsfor family coverage

Milton D. SmithBecome Architect

Milton D. Smith of Mountainsiderecently passed the New Jersey ar-chitectural licensing examination andhas qualified to practice architecturein New Jersey.

Mr. Smith has been employed byKitchen & Associates ArchitecturalServices in Weslmont for the pastthree years.

A graduate of Jonathan DaytonRegional High School in Springfield,he earned his Bachelor of Architec-ture Degree with honors at CarnegieMellon University in Pittsburgh.

Mr. Smith is the Secretary of theNew Jersey advisory board of AlphaPhi Omega, the national collegiateservice fraternity.

He serves on the District Com-mittee of the Camden County Councilof the Boy Scouts of America andparticipates on the Carnegie MellonUniversity alumni admissions coun-cil for New Jersey.

are approximately 20 per cent higherthan the avetage for the other districtsin Union County, he said.

Mr. Fox declared, "It is rare for anemployer to pay 100 percent of healthbenefits coverage for both the em-ployees and their dependents. Giventhe high cost of such coverage, theBoard of Education should explorethe possibility of some employeecontribution for coverage." "Em-ployee contribution would encourageemployees not to have duplicatecoverage. As an alternative, the boardcould seek premium contributionsfrom newly-hired teachers for half ofthe cost of the medical insurance fortheir families until they receive ten-ure," he added.

"Another alternative which couldproduce savings is to buy thedependant coverage from the em-ployee. This approach is now beingused by a number of districts, in-cluding Plainfield and Edison."

"Forexample,"hesaid,"the Edisondistrict adds $2,000 to a teacher'ssalary who waives health coverage ifthey are covered by their spouse'sinsurance plan. This represents asubstantial savings for Edison whichpays about $7,500 in medical benefitsfor each teacher."

Mr. Fox explained, "Other areaswhich would generate some costsavings include: Lowering dependentchild maternity coverage, cappinginpalienl mental benefits with a Jifc-timemaximum and eliminating dentalplan coverage foraduit orthodontics."

"We all know how important healthbenefits packages are to all employ-ees. However, I believe all of thesealternatives must be explored in or-der to alleviate the large burden onthe Board of Education's healthbenefits budget," Mr. Fox concluded.
