For Albany
First V-P
ALBANY —A special elec-
tion for the office of first
vice-president of the Albany
Region of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. will be held
shortly to settle the issue as
democratically as possible.
Original voting results showed
Jon L. Schermerhorn elected as
the new regional first vice-presi-
dent by a slim mangin oyer the
incumbent, Jean C. Gray
After a legal objection was
filed and the ballots inspected,
& mechanical offsetting of the
voting blocks was discovered. If
these ballots were used to deter-
mine a winner, questions could
be raised as to for which person
they were cast
Rather than litigate the whole
situation, both parties have
agreed to & separate run-off
election.
Ballots listing the office, can-
didates’ names and « simple ex-
planation of the election problem
will be sent out to the Albany

CHALLENGE DEADLINE
At Leader presstime, it was learned that the Public Employees
Federation had not yet filed a petition challenging the Civil Service
Employees Assn.'s position as bargaining representative for state
workers, Informed sources, however, indicated that the union coali-
on would do so before the Aug, 31 deadline, Although it was ex-
pected that the petition would be seeking the right to # representative
election in the Professional-Sclentifie-Technica! unit, it
was not
certain if they would fil» in any other unit,

in place of a wage increase.
Commenting on the first tally
of the “Kick In To Help Us Kick
Ends" campaign, Joseph McDer-
mott, Albany Region CSEA presi-
dent, stated, "I am happy with
these initia) results, but now I
am waiting for the first wave
of chapter-collected contribu~
tons to pour in,”
Publicity concerning the “Kick
In” campaign has been held to
4 minimum, the Regional presi-
dent explained, but recently local
media have picked up the fund
theme and now people are visit-
ing the Regional Office and
making out-of-pocket cash con-
tributions.

Putnam's Board
Accepts Pact,
Averting Strike
By MARVIN BAXLEY
CARMEL
The echoes of victory still resound over
Gleneida Lake after the strike against Putnam County was
called off at the last moment
The Putnam County Board of Supervisors, under notice
that the County would be struck
the next day, met Aug. 28 to rati-
fy the contract as agreed upon
by negotiators Feb. 26.
‘The contract becomes effective
retroactive to Jan. 1, 1975
It provides a $700 wage in-
crease per person as of Jan. 1,
with another $500 increase on
July 1, Both are retroactive. On
Jan, 1 and July 1, 1976, addition-
al $600 pay boosts go into effect
on both dates. Over the two-
year span of the contract, this
means 8 $2,400 improvement,
plus increments.
At a mass meeting of the Civil
Service Employees Assn.'s Put-
nam County chapter, members
had voted a deadline of Aug
29 for the Board to act on the
contract (moving the date up
from ® previously determined
Sept. 4 deadline)
Actions that led to the charges
of extreme provocation and the
approval of a strike against the
county extend back nine months
when the previous contract ex-
pired on Dec, 31, 1974
Leading up to that had been
some 70 hours of negotiating ses-
sions, mediation and further me-
diation by a fact-finder assigned
to the case by the Public Em-
ployment Relations Board
On Feb. 26, 1975, the union
and county negotiating teams
signed a memorandum of agree-
ment covering the two-year pe-
riod from Jan, 1, 1975, to Dec
31, 1976.
flect the attitude of the state
employees,
While I will not reveal
names of any contributors.
I do
think that some of their obser-
vations and suggestions are
worth publicising,” Mr, McDer-
mott explained.
“One member contributed $50
for a field goa! and suggested
that we use the governor's head
in leu of the ball! Another gave
$20 for # quick kick and said if
he saw CSEA ‘Foot Power’ in ac-
tion he would send in another
contribution.”
The Albany Region hopes to
keep ¢ontributions rolling, said
Mr, McDermott, “so that, come
November 1976, public employees
in New York State represented
by CSBA, will bein the driver's
seat and not the politicians.”
Putnam's Carol Fallman was pre-
pared for all eventualities, as she
donned her CSEA hard hat.
However, the Board of Super-
visors, until last Thursday, had
failed to discuss the agreement
for the purposes of ratification
CSEA’s Putnam County leader-
ship had contened that since two
of the supervisors on the negotia-
ting team between them had
enough votes on the Board to
gain approval of the contract,
thelr resultant failure to do so
had to be Interpreted as an act
of bad-faith bargaining
‘Their opinion was upheld by

Cole Pilcher, a PERB-appointed
hearing officer, who recommend-
ed that the county “be ordered
to negotiate In good faith with
CSEA by exacting an agreement
in accordance with the terms and
conditions of employment ac-
cepted by its negotiators.”
After the County failed to ap-
peal the hearing officer's direc-
tive within the time limits set
for such appeals, PERB iteelf
decided to look into the case.
At this point, the Putnam
chapter members agreed to im-
pose the strike deadline of Aug.
29 unless the Putnam Board of
Supervisors acted before.
At an all-day meeting of the
Board on Aug, 28, Supervisors
Bergin, Housekeeper and Papon-
tos voted to accept the contract,
with the Board Chairman Perac-
clolo, and Supervisors Smith and
Tuttle going on record against.
On the basis of a weighted vote,
the outcome was 35 to 22.
Supervisors Bergin and House-
keeper were signatory parties to
the original agreement.
With the action in Putnam, all
seven county chapters in CSEA's
Southern Region IT now have
working contracts. Work must
still be done to draft the contract
language for the Putnam pact,
4s well as for the Dutchess agree-
ment, which was settled recently
after a week-long strike.
Southern Region III's one-two punch, president James Lennon, right,
and first vice-president John Mauro, confer on ways to coordinate
the efforts of other chapters and regional resources into a successful
strike action for Putnam,

Man, 53, Wins Age Discrimination Suit H.S. Grads May Qualify
FULTON —The New York
State Division of Human
Rights has upheld a com-
plaint by a 53-year-old man
who charged age discrimination
when his application for the post
of deputy sheriff in Oswego
County was rejected.
The action was brought by
Charles Beattie, a Pulton resi-
dent. Mr. Beattie scored the
highest mark in an examination
given jast year to 72 applicants
for the post, Mr. Beattie also
had one year's experience as a
village patrolman prior to taking
the test. He was passed over,
however, while three younger
men, two of whom had no prior
law enforcement experience, were
hired. The respondents in the
action were Oswego County and
County Sheriff Ray Chesbro.
At a public hearing on the
complaint, the Division of Hu-
man Rights established that the
sole and uncontroverted cause
for Mr. Beattie's rejection was
his age and that he had not had
any physical difficulty in per-
forming his duties as a patrol-
man, nor had he been requested
by the county to take a physical
examination for the deputy
sheriff position
Commissioner Werner H. Kra-
marsky upheld the complaint
and ordered the respondents to
offer Mr. Beattle the next avail-
able position as deputy sheriff.
The human rights official award-
ed him back pay from June 29,
1974, the date the three appoint-
ments were made, to the date
Mr. Beattie accepts or rejects the
offer of employment, with six
percent interest from a reason-
able intermediate date.

TUESDAY,
CSEA Convention
ELEGATES of the Civil Service Employees Assn. will be
meeting later this month in Niagara Falls for their
annual convention.
SEPTEMBER 2, 1975.
Normally, there would have been a special full-scale
convention in the spring, also, but this year, an abbreviated
meeting was held in Albany to determine policy in the face
of the impasse over a Contract for state workers.
With the turmoil over the state contract, as well as the
hectic biennial election of union officers, now part of the
65-year-old union's recent history, we think that harmony
and accord will be the keynote of the September convention,
In the first place, the union faces the possibility of a
challenge for its representation rights—provided, of course,
that sufficient signatures can be verified on the petitions
expected to be submitted by the Public Employees Federa-
tion,
But, beyond that, there have been a number of signifi-
cant victories by the Association—especially in the County
Division. During the past year, CSEA has won challenges
in Erie, Sullivan, Ulster and Orange Counties, as well as
the Town of Greenburgh in Westchester County.
More recently, decisive action in Dutchess and Putnam
Counties has brought balking County Boards to their senses,
forcing them to abide by previously agreed-to contract pro-
visions.
Most important, though, in determining the course to-
ward unity that CSEA will chart is the need to present a
strong front when the union goes into contract negotiations
this winter with the Carey Administration . which has
already gone on record as preparing for another battle to
the finish with all the state’s public employees.
Women As Leaders
LTHOUGH too many instances of discrimination on the
job because of sex can be found today, there are also
some encouraging things happening.
A case in point Is the state's Department of Correction.
Late last year, Thelma Upton, a cook at the Adirondack
Correctional Facility at Dannemora won a two-year battle
to win reinstatement to her job. After 18 years on the job,
she was fired and, at the conclusion of a suit brought in
her behalf by the Civil Service Employees Assn., the State
-Human Rights Commission ruled that the firing was done
solely because of her sex. Happily, Ms, Upton was restored
to her job and received compensation for being laid off.
More recently, the Department named Janice Warne
as superintendent of the Albion Correctional Facility. She
is the first woman in New York State history to head a
prison for men.
There is much talk these days about using America’s
natural resources to the fullest, The most valuable resource
this nation has is its people. They should be encouraged
to advance as far and as fast as their talents permit them,
without regard to such artificial barriers as “traditional”
male or female occupational roles.
(Continued from Page 1)
was not empowered to act on
his own without guidance from
the appropriate governing board,
In one sense this is an example
of CSEA’s highly prized democ-
racy in action: a rank-and-file
member (in this case a chapter
officer) taking on a member of
the union's paid staff (who, in
this instance, happens to be one
of the hardest working and most
dedicated workers on the staff)
On the other hand it is also
a sign of the new militancy that
is starting to grip the giant pub-
lic employees union, third larg-
est Independent union in the
nation and largest independent
public employees union in the
world.
For behind the smail skirm-
ishes and clashes within the un-
fon at present is the urgency to
put the house in order as soon
as possible before negotiations
begin on a new contract with the
state
For the most part. the pre-
sumed challenge by the Public
Employees Federation is deemed
as a nuisance to be gotten rid of
as quickly as passible in order
to get on with the real business
of sérving the membership.
This is not to say that the
challenge from the PEF con-
glomerate of unions will be 1g-
nored; it is Just that it is diffi-
cult to take seriously a challenge
from a fledgling organization
that exists only on paper.
Having disposed of the chal-
lenge (if there is one), CSEA
would then be free to throw all
its resources into the battle for
an improved contract for the
stite workers,
CSEA leaders will surely be
looking for a big win in any
challenge as an indication to
Governor Carey that CSEA bs
the union he is going to have
to deal with—like it or not,
In the meantime, high-placed
members of CSEA's staff have
mobilized themselves into three
task forces, each hitting two of
the union's regigns.
Purpose of these sessions,
called for by the union's veleran
executive director Joseph Loch-
ner, has been for @ two-way ex-
change of information between
the membership and the head-
quarters staff,
The staff has been recounting
the myriad successes of CSEA
during the last few years since
the Taylor Law, and asking for
input as to how they can fur-
ther accomplish the goals of the
membership.
Tt has been interesting that
in each of the six regions, so
different directions have been
taken In the discussions follow-
ing what have been essentially
the same presentations by the
staff members,
But that is another sign of
democracy, What it really means
is that whoever can get the
floor first can influence the di-
rection of the ensuing conversa-
tion, That does not mean, how-
ever, that any one of the six
discussions was less meaningful
than any of the others.
What it has done is to provide
staff with six better views of
Civil Service
Law & You
By RICHARD GABA
Mr, Gaba is a member of the firm of White, Walsh and Gaba,
P.C., and chairman of the Nassau County Bar Association Labor
Law Committee.
Counsel’s Religious Obligations
A permanent civil service employee in the position of
Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds was charged by
his employer, a union free school district, with 13 counts
of misconduct and 12 counts of incompetency. The charges
were served upon him in writing and gave reasons for the
allegations contained therein. If the employee had been
found guilty of one or more of the specified charges, he
could have been dismissed from his position as Superinten-
dent of Buildings and Grounds. This action would certainly
have prejudiced him in any attempts to secure similar em-
ployment both in the area of public service and in the private
sector.
. “ °
THE EMPLOYEE, in order to defend himself against
the specified charges, retained an attorney of the Jewish
faith. This attorney was a Sabbath observer and did not
engage in his employment from sundown on Friday until
sundown on Saturday. The attorney, accordingly, notified
the Board of Education that he would be unable to appear
at the hearing which had been scheduled for a Saturday.
At the same time, he requested a rescheduling of the hear-
ing for any evening thereafter so long as it was not a Friday
night. He also stated in his letter that if his request could
not be complied with, he would advise his client to obtain
other counsel, The employee objected to this advice and
insisted on being represented by his original attorney.
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, in responding to a law-
suit by the employee that its decision to hold a hearing on
Saturday was arbitrary and capricious, stated that they had
taken into consideration that the employee was faced with
25 serious charges and that the Board had decided to hear
the case itself rather than appoint a hearing officer. The
members of the Board were all gainfully employed during
the normal workweek, and therefore decided, since they sit
as members of the Board without compensation, to hold a
hearing on a Saturday with the hope that it could be com-
pleted in one or two full days, The employee argued in
court that the Board’s failure to honor his request for a
hearing date other than on a Friday night or Saturday ef-
fectively denied the employee his right to counsel of his
own choice. The employee further argued that the Board's
failure to reschedule the hearing to a weekday night was,
under the circumstances, arbitrary and capricious, The Board
responded that the constitutional guarantee to counsel can-
not be invoked merely to delay the course of justice.
a * leas
THE COURT pointed out that the employee had a statu-
tory right to be represented by counsel pursuant to Section
75(2) of the Civil Service Law, Since the employee's position
has been held to be “property” within the meaning of the
due process clause of the U, 8. Constitution, the employee
is entitled to due process where the hearing may result in
the loss of his job, The court said that any deprivation of
the right to counsel and to a fair trial

for annulment of a determination, It is fundamental that
the employee is entitled to the assistance of counsel and the
court will not speculate as to precisely how much prejudice
arose from the denial of that right. If was of no matter that
the case was a disciplinary proceeding rather than a crimi-
nal prosecution, The court further stated that based on the
chronology of events, the particular attorney hired by the
employee was not retained for the purpose of interposing a
delay, The attorney was retained prior to the Board’s sched-
uling of a Saturday hearing. The attorney exercised due
diligence and good faith in advising the Board that he could
not attend a Friday night or Saturday hearing.
THE COURT FINALLY held in this instance that the
action of the Board of Education in refusing to consider
rescheduling the hearing for any time other than a Friday
evening or Saturday was arbitrary and capricious. For that
reason, the decision to terminate the employee after a hear-
ing where the employee was not represented by counsel was

CSEA executive director, pointed out the
benefits CSEA has amassed for municipal
workers throughout the state. Appearing
with Mr, Lochner were Marge Karowe, coun-
sel, William Blom, director of research, and
Paul Burch and Jason McGrath, collective
bargaining specialists.
Ms, Karowe explained the workings of the
Taylor Law regarding challenges and»Mr.

salaries and fringe benefits.
During the day-long session in the Cordon

matters of negotiations and grievances.
It was explained that the Public Em-

and the United Federation of Teachers.
It also was pointed out that the American

“Basically, they told us: ‘This is what

Alcoholism Rehabilitation Effort reg Woman Named
Is Launched By Nassau County
MINEOLA—A counseling program for Nassau County ¢mployees with alcohol prob-
lems has been launched,
The program includes weekly therapy sessions and is intended to serve as a model
for other such efforts launched in the Long Island county by municipalities, labor unions
and firms in the private sector.
Irving Plaumenbaum, president
of the Nassau County chapter,
Civil Service Employees Assn.
and also leader of the union's
Long Ishnd Region I, enthusi-
astically endorsed the program.
“Too often, management does-
n't become aware that there's
a drinking problem — either on
the part of the employee or a
member of the employee's fam-
fly—until it's too late, until
there's a- situation where the
employee's work deteriorates to
the polit of firing," Mr. Flau-
menbaum observed.
Nassau County Executive
Ralph G. Caso also boosts the
new program.
“The Federal Government esti-
mates that 7 percent of Ameri-
cans have a drinking problem,”
the Nassau Executive said.
“County employees are no less
vulnerable to this addictive dis-
ease than the rest of the popula-
tion.”
The Nassau County counseling
service's offices can be found on
the fourth floor of B Building
of the county's Medical Center
complex. The program itself is
funded by a $55,000 grant to the
Nassau Department of Drug and
Alcohol Addiction from the Divi-
sion of Aleohol Abuse, New York
State Department of Mental
Health. It is administered by the
Nassau County Department of
Mental Health.
Both Mr Flaumenbaum and
Mr. Caso stress that the pro-
gram is entirely confidential.
Participants go to weekly group
therapy sessions at which their
problems are discussed and ana-
lyzed. They also may be invited
to attend meetings of Alcoholics
Anonymous,

household are urged to become
involved in department pro-
grams. Teenagers are steered to
ALATEEN programs and other
members of the family to ALA-
NON programs. The family is
encouraged to participate in the
program, officials point out, be-
cause rehabilitation from the
disease can best be accomplished
through concerted family action.
Consultations for employees
with alcohol problems, or family
members of employees, can be
Monday through Priday, from
9 am. to 5 p.m. Referrals can
be made by the individual, the
employer or a family member.
Harold E. Adams, commission-
er of the Nassau Drug and Alco-
hol Department, put it this way:
“For the employer, the joss of a
mature. well-trained person in
his or her productive years al-
ways represents an inestimable
which motivates him or her into
treatment and rehabilitation. So
an on-the-job rehabilitation pro-
gram offers both parties the
best potential for success and
the greatest savings.”
Nassau County has a payroll
of about 20,000 persons.

by the end of October, it was
announced by chapter president
Irving Flaumenbaum.
He said the steering and pro-

demand immediate and intensive
negotiating sessions with a set-
tlement deadline in order to
avoid the unsuccessful, one-

“If we can't do it in eight or

As Superintendent
Of A Men's Prison
ALBANY—In the continuing shakeup of the state's De-
partment of Correctional Services, a woman has been named
for the first time in New York history to head a prison
for men.
Janice Warne, 49, bas been
appointed superintendent of the
Albion Correctional Pacility, Al-
bion, a 300-inmate medium-se-
curity facility.
Ms. Warne, mother of six
children, began her career in
the department in 1955 as &
guard at Albion. At that time,
Albion was a women’s prison.
Fourteen years later, in 1969, she
wis named superintendent there.
When the facility became a
men's prison in 1972, Ms, Warne
was transferred to the Bedford
Hills facility for women as su-
perintendent,
Commenting on the appoint-
ment, Commissioner of Corree-
tions Benjamin Ward observed:
“I am extremely pleased to make
this important appointment be-
cause I feel strongly that a
woman is as competent #s a man
to run 8 male correctional fa-
cility in the State of New York.”
A spokesman for the depart-
ment, Al Castro, added: “The
appointment means that in the
future, there will be more varied
assignments for women in the
system.”
Ms. Warne holds an associate
degree in correctional adminis-
tration from Genesee Community

tendent of the Coxsackie Correc-
tional Facility, a 160-inmate
male facility. Former Coxsackie
superintendent Edward O'Mara
will go to the Wallkill Corree-
tional Facility as superintendent
there. He will replace former
Wallkill superintendent Harold
Butler now at the Ossining Cor-
rectional Pacility.
‘Two other transfers were also
announced last week.

perintendent of the Great Mea-
dow Correctional Facility, Com.
stock, will become superintendent
of the Taconic Correctional Fa-
cility, & minimum-security facil-
ity for men at Bedford Hills.

BOX OFFICE—
A Cabbie At Night; Would-Be Teacher In Day
By JANE B, BERNSTEIN
Robert Feirsen, 24, of Jackson
Heights, drives a taxi cab 11
hours each day. When most
workers go home at 5 pan., he
gets into his cab and cruises for
customers until 4 a.m.
“You have to work those hours
if you want to make enough
money,” he said. "If you're lucky,
you might make $4 per hour,
‘but you really have to hustle.”
Robert Feirsen of Jackson Heights drives a taxi for a living. He is
one of hundreds of unemployed teachers In New York
He must put up with long
hours, low pay and people who
stiff him
“I've driven people to their
destinations and then had them
inform me that they have no
money,” he said. “Or someone
says his money is upstairs and
he'll be right back with it. Of
course he never shows,” he
added.
He rarely has time to see his
friends—most of them work dur-
ing the daytime.
“It's a dominating profession,”
Mr. Feirsen said, "It seems that
I've no sooner gotten out of bed
than {t's time to start driving
again.”
With due respect to the hack-
ing profession, what's a young
man like Mr, Feirsen doing in a
life lke this?
He has the misfortune, in these
financially troubled times, of
holding a New York State teach-
er’s Heense.
He received his Master of Arts
in teaching from the State Uni-
veraity at Stoneybrook this year
and is number 11 out of 1.403
names on the New York City
eligible list for high school social
studies teachers.
“I've sent resumes all over the
place and I've gone to every
schoo! district on Long Island,”
Mr. Peirsen said. “But there's
nothing available.”
In 1973, he substitute taught
at the School of the Transfigura-
tion in Corona, hoping to get a
full-time position, The job never
materialized,
When his name appeared on
the teacher's eligible list in June,
he received letters from three
high schools asking him to come
in for interviews.
I went to Edward R. Murrow
High School in Brooklyn—they
had an opening for a social stu-
dies teacher,” Mr. Feirsen said.
“Things looked pretty good—and
then the budget fell apart.”
The other two schools called
to say they'd be cutting back
their staffs and an interview

VIL SERVICE LEADER, Tuesday, September 2, 1975
€
The Publicity C! rman’s Ro
Now that you're publicity
chairman, you're probably asking
yourself; “How did I get into
this? What do I do?”
Your chapter or unit president
may tell you, “Just give the news
to the media.”
But how do you do that?
What Newspapers Are
Newspapers are exciting places
—sometimes just like they are
portrayed in films with reporters
rushing in and out—but they are
made up of @ bunch of normal
people, just like you, doing their
daily jobs.
The one exception is that
newpaper people usually have &
deadline to meet so they always
seem to be in a hurry, And it
really is a deadline. If a given
story is not given to the printer
by a given time and if en edi-
tion ts not ready to roll on the
presses at its scheduled time, no
excuse 1s acceptable, None.
So newspaper people can be
classed as clock-watchers; they
are always under time pressure.
If you waste their time, they are
unlikely to be happy to see you
the next time you come into the
city room.
But don’t for a minute believe
that, because they appreciate
brevity, they appreciate curtness.
No one does. Be polite and cour-
teous — and brief — for best re-
sults
Psyching The City Editor
A newspaper's city editor ts
not necessarily a hard-bitten,
cynical, drink-downing dictator
of public opinion, He or she is
usually a concerned citizen of
the community, just like your~
self,
‘There is probably no one «in
town who knows more about
what makes the community tick
—past, present and future—than
the city editor. That Is what the
Job is all about. The city editor's
job is to know “what's new” in
town. The city editor is almost
always up to date on just about
everything affecting the town.
‘The city editor might be in
charge of scores of reporters,
photographers and editors or he
or she might be the only staffer
of @ 10-page weekly paper, But
no matter what the size of the
paper, you should realize that
the city editor has tremendous
responsibilities.
Basically, the city editor's job
1s news. Anything that hints of
odvertising will not be printed
unless you pay the paper's ad-
vertising rates. Don't feel insult-
ed if your release, however long
you may have worked on it is
cut to one or two paragraphs, or,
for that matter, doesn't make
the paper at all. Since space
Uumitations are ® major problem
for all newspapers, your story
may have been pushed out by
what the editor feels to be more
important news.
‘The editor will read your story
with two points in mind: will tt
interest many readers and how
much news ts in it. If the answer
to the first ls “no” or the anewer
to the second is “not much" the
sory probably won't be printed.
to print a story about the sec-
retary of state addressing your
chapter or unit than one about
someone's appointment as junior
assistant Mbrarian on your re-
search committee.
Tt is important to find out
what deadline or deadlines a
paper has to observe. If you
hand im a story too close to
deadline, it may not make it.
If your story passes the test
for news, tt may still have to
be rewritten in the style used
by the newspaper. Your copy, as
your story is termed, will be
checked for grammar, spelling,
accuracy and wordiness. The
copy editor, who will edit the
story, will then write a headline
for % and will assign it to a
position in the paper.
Anywhere along the line, your
story runs the risk of being killed
because more important news, or
news of equal importance but
better written, beats it out, Then
again, the story may be held
and appear in a later edition of
the paper or an edition of one
or more days ahead.
A Nose For News
A good way to develop your
news sense is to study the paper
and note the sort of stories
which get the biggest pay and
exposure. What kind of stories
make it to page 1 or have the
biggest headlines? What kind of
stories seem to barely squeek
onto the back page or are buried
under a mountain of advertise-
ments?
By simply following the style
and construction of news stories
that appear in the paper, you
can learn a good deta] about news
story writing. Unnecessary or
“highfalutin'’ words are taboo.
Sharp, colorful verbs are soat-
tered Mberally throughout the
good stories, Put in the most im-
portant facts first; don’t include
unnecessary ones,
You must be very wary about
adjectives; they can lead you
into editorlalizing which is only
proper on the editorial page or
in a letter to the editor. Don't
call @ meeting “interesting” or a
retiree “elderly” or a meeting
“successful.” Instead, just call it
a “meeting” or give the speaker's
Make sure to stress the num-
ber of members in your chapter
or unit. Por example, "The Blank
chapter, Civil Service Employees
Assn., which represents more
than 200 employees of the Cen-
tral School District No, 2...”
Tf you feel that you cannot
write @ news story, or you ex-
perience great difficulty in doing
#0, DON'T WORRY, Your best
friends are the traditional five
Ws. Simply type the facts on «
plece of paper. Por example:
Who: The Erie County chap-
ter, Civil Service Employees
Asm.
What: will hold tts annual
dinner
Given these facts, a reporter
news story.
and don’t leave out the impor-
tant ones. Make sure you have
included the who, what, when,
where and why in the story.
Include all the details, such as
full names and addresses of lo-
ai persons and their identifying
titles.
Make your story as accurate
and impartial as the other
stories that make {t into print.
If the editor comes to rely on
you as @ dependable and careful
reporter, like the ones on his
own staff, your stories will make
it into the paper without diffi-
culty.
If you misinform the editor or
make mistakes that could reflect
unfavorably on him and his
newspaper, he won't trust you
again. Accuracy js paramount.
Be On Time
Whenever possible, you should
get the news to the paper no
Jeter than the day it happens.
A newspaper is not a history
book; It does not need or use
stories that are days or weeks
old,
Most of the time, you can in-
form the editor well in advance
about your banquet, chapter
meeting, election or other activ-
ity. After you've given him the
advance story, the editor will
possibly want an account of what
happened at the event. He may
even assign a photographer to
cover It.
If there is a change in plans or
if the event is cancelled or post-
poned, by al means let the
editor know about it eo that an
inaccurate story isn't printed. If
the editor does print a false
story, you will be sorrier about
it than he is.
Time Savers
Tt was pointed out that an
editor is always under deadline
pressure. Your copy should be
easy to work with and so save
him time. These few rules should
be followed:
© Type all stories triple spaced
on one side only of standard
8% by ll-inch white paper, If
you can't get to a typewriter,
print the copy clearly so that
there ts no doubt about any name
or word in the story,
© Leave wide margins—1% or
two inches—on each side of the
Paper.
© In the upper left-hand cor-
ner, type your name, address and
telephone number at home and
work so that you can be reached
if there are any questions on the
story.
Start typing the story about
one-third of the way down the
page to leave the copy editor
room to place printing instrue-
tions and headline instructions.
Don't Write Novel
t TAREE

the story. Be sure to spell names
correctly
How About Photography?
By all means, take your own
photogriphs and take a lot of
them. If a member of your chap-
ter or unit is an enthusiastic
shutterbug, this will be very
helpful to you, Even if the pho-
tographs aren't used by the
newspaper, your fellow members
may want them or you can put
them into a chapter or unit
scrapbook.
The newspaper will send its
own photographer if the event
is important enough. Most likely,
however, the editor will rely on
you to take your own pictures,
Many newspapers are unable to
print photographs more than
several columns wide because of
their space problems. Since this
isso, you must squeeze the prin-
ciples together in any photo-
graph so that they will all fit
and still be recognizable. If pos-
sible, try to have the people in
the photograph DOING some-
thing—looking at « program,
shaking hands, etc—instead of
simply staring into the camera.
Always submit glossy prints, at
least five by seven inches, and
preferably eight by 10 inches,
You should identify the people
@s they appear in the photo-
graph from left to right. Type
or print their full names on «
piece of paper and paste or tape
it to the back of the photo, You
should never write or type di-
rectly on the back of the photo-
graph as this can damage it. For
the same reason, paper clips or
staples should not be used.
‘The caption you should write
for the photo ts a brief story of
what it shows. For example

chapter, Civil Service Employees

SUMMER BLOOD DRIVE — Gorse £. Cunaitt
award to John Doe in recogni-
tion of Mr. Doe's service to the
chapter. The award was made
at the chapter's award banquet
Inst night at the Jones Restau-
rant.
More Than One Paper
‘If there are two or more news-
papers in your town or city and
you send releases to each one,
here are some pointers:
© To avoid possible misunder-
standings, If you type or print
original copies of the same story
for each of the papers, Indicate
that the identical story has been
given to the other papers. For
example: “Identical copy re-
leased to the Times, Examiner,
News.” =
© If you write @ special story
about an identical subject for
each paper, indicate: “Copy spe-
ehlly prepared for Examiner.”
© Large population centers
such as New York, Albany, Buf-
falo and others have several
dailies, Because they devote «
great amount of news space to
international, national and state-
wide news, sometimes they will
not print your story. If you live
in such areas, be sure to send
copies of your stories to neigh-
borhood newspapers and week-
les.
Points To Remember
* Don't try to disguise adver-
tising as news.
® Don't color the facts with
superlatives, exaggerated claims
or opinion,
© If your chapter or unit has
bought paid advertising in the
past, don't use that fact to pres-
sure the editor, It will not work.
® Don’t beg an editor to print
@ story, If it is a good story, it
will be printed.
© Don't argue if story isn't
printed. Try again.
The Story About The Boy In The Picture
As you probably read last
week in a Leader story by
Alan Bernstein, the Fire De-
partment has kicked off a
campaign against false alarms
by flooding the buses, subways
and other public places with a
poster showing a little boy hor-
ribly burned being ministered to
by two firefighters from Squad
Co, No. 1 which
at the time, was
quartered in
opposite direction from the fire
where the family of four was
one, Seeing the picture so widely
used brings back vivid memories
of the incident and I just
thought you might care to know
the details of the fire as they
happened.
The fire took place at 502 W.
143 St. on Sunday, June 23,
1963 at 12:14 p.m. The building
was a six-story, well-constructed
building with an open iron grill-
work elevator, The fire started
in the elevator pit. There was
so much oil, grease and debris
that the fire took off like @
rocket and just blew out through
the open iron grillwork and
spread to all floors in the build-
ing.
The family on the top floor,
all of whom were killed, were
visitors from Baltimore. It would
seem that in Baltimore they do
not have many buildings with
fire escapes because when the
family heard the cry of fire, they
immediately went out into the
top floor hallway. Being visitors,
they did not take their keys to
the apartment with them, and
when the door to their apart-
ment slammed shut behind them,
they were trapped and doomed.
‘The fire was mushrooming up
toward them via the elevator

shaft and, in panic, the father
Jed the family to a window right
beside the shaft. A person in a
building opposite saw the family
trapped und threw a flimsy
clothesline across a 15 foot shaft,
‘The idea was to tle each person
to the rope, swing across the
shaft to safety and then throw
it back for the next person to
do likewise.
The fire hit the top floor so
rapidly, however, that the father
only had time to the the rope
around his youngest son, the one
shown In the photograph. In his
haste, he failed to realize that
when he put the child out of
the window and let go, the child
was going to swing across the
shaft like a clock pendulum and
hit the brick wall with a terrific
impact, before being pulled to
safety by the well-meaning per-
son on the other side. That is
exactly what happened and if
you look closely at the photo
you will see blood streaming
from the chiki’s head where he
fractured his skull when he
swung across the shaft and
crashed into the wall.
When I got out into the back
yard, I heard a man screaming.
Looking up, I saw a partially
open window with flames coming
out and a man’s head underneith
the flames. I'll remember his
words until my dying day. “.
man for God's sake help me!
T'm burning to death up
here with my wife and kid . . .
Tm dying, man . please help
meee
I threw my camera down on
the grass, ran like hell to the
front to give the chief the word.
Chief O'Brien ordered a roof
rope team to the roof and a net
to the back yard just in case
they jumped.
Meanwhile, the then-Lieut
Larry Centrilla, now Chief of
Battalion, was leading his line
up the inside of the building in
the toughest kind of fire fighting
evolution, Firefighters refer to tt
as an “around the elevator
stretch,” which is exactly what
it is, There is no stairwell to
heip get the hose upstairs quick-
ly; they just have to go around
and around, In this case, because
of the open iron grillwork, the
fire was out on every floor and
they had to battle their way up
the hard way
The top floor was the worst

daughter as close to the mother

wall, Then, in a final moment
of self-sacrifice, he placed his
own body on top of theirs, hop-
ing to protect them from the
flames.
‘The truck and the engine men
arrived at the top floor together
‘wnd the three bodies were quick-
ly brought downstairs where first
aid was given. The little boy in
the picture you are now seeing
was horribly burned with his
skin literally hanging off his
neck and arms. He also sustained
the skull fracture as a result of
the effort to save his life before
the firefighters arrived.
‘The father, mother and daugh-
ter were just as badly burned
and I almost threw up just look-
ing at those unfortunate people.
Most of their clothes had been
burned from their bodies and all
four were in shock.

‘The baby shown in the picture

mother lived in agony for two
weeks.

delaying factor. With normal re-

have been hit one, two, three

ironic fact was that if instead

Seniors’ Health Care Soars
WASHINGTON, D, C.—The
average health care bill for
& person 65 and over was
$1,218 in fiscal 1974, nearly
three times the average Ameri-
can’s bill of $420, the Social Se-
curity Administration reported
recently,
‘The report, “Age Differences
in Health Care Spending,” ap-
pears in the June issue of the
Social Security Bulletin. It ana-
lyzes trends in personal health
care expenditures by different
age groups from 1966 to the
present.

Syracuse’s Leader,
Honored At Dinner
SYRACUSE — Mary L. Mc-
Carthy, past president of the
Syracuse chapter, Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn. and
an active representative of the
union for the past 22 years, was
nored recently at a retirement
” party held at ¢ Hotel

Ms. McCarthy's committee
work with CSEA included mem-
bership on the social, nominat-
ing, membership and legislative
committees. She also served on
the Syracuse Region V nominat-
ing committee.
Ms. McCarthy served for many
years with the State Department
of Social Service.
The growth in the average
amount spent over the last nine
years for health care has been
substantial for all ages, the re-
port says. For a person under age
65, the average amount has more
than doubled. For the aged, the
increase has been even more
marked, from $445 In 1966 to
$1,218 by 1974.
However, the continuing
growth, of third-party financing
of ith care expenditures, the
reports says, has significantly
lessened the direct burden of
such costa on the Indiv Vs

1974, third parties were fina:
nearly two-thirds.
Por the aged, $16.1 billion was
spent in public funds for their
personal health care; Medicare's
share amounted to $10.2 billion,
and Medicaid paid $3.9 billion
of the total bill. These two pub-
lic programs paid a combined 53
percent of the total health care
expenditures of the elderly. In
1974 an aged person paid out-of-
pocket an average of $415 out of
his total $1,218 bill. This was
$178 more than the $237 paid
directly by the elderly in 1966
when total personal health cost
averaged $445.
