to 50 cents per

the case of smailer and poorer
chapters, “whatever they can
afford.” The money is to be re

ceived by June 25 so that the
Region may enter into a con-
tract with an outside manage-
ment consultant firm to produce
an Initial training film on lead-
ership.

President Cleary warned that
unless the needed monies were
made available by June 25, the
end of the time covered by a
stipulated cost estimate for the
film, the project would be
“dead.” In which case, collected
funds would be returned. How
ever, the prospect was held out
that if the training film program
is successful, costs could be re
covered through film rental and
sales, and then original invest-
ments would be returned.

$10,000 Program

The Region has approximately
35,000 members, and the imme-
diate financial need for the pro-
ject is around $10,000 in order
to contract with FitzGibbons As-
sociates of Syracuse to produce
the first film. The half-hour film

$7,000, and there would be an-

Teachers Union Drops
Try In Suffolk School

RIVERHEAD—At a recent Public Employment Relations
Board hearing, the Comsewogue School unit of the Suffolk
Educational Chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., won a
landmark case when the Teachers Association of the Com-

sewogue School District with
drew its petition to represent the
60 school monitors in the dis
trict,

Irwin M, Scharfeld, CSEA
field representative, said this
was the first instance in Central
Suffolk County where a Teach-
ers Association tried to splinter
the non-instructional unit to
gain a foothold. Mr. Scharfeld
said it was obvious what their
association was trying to accom-
plish and CSEA was ready to
go all the way to the courts to
reject their attempt. This was
not necessary, since after a six-
hour hearing before a PERB of-
ficial, the Teachers Association
and representatives of NYSTU
withdrew their petition. CSEA

Was represented by Mr. Schar-
feld and Warren Smith, regional
attorney.

Mr. Scharfeld blasted the
Teachers Association. stating
“All of a sudden the teachers are
concerned with the non-instruc-
tional employees since they
learned from the recent New
York City strike that custodians
can close down a district where.
as the teachers are out for weeks
or months at a time and school
continues,

“CSEA has the numbers and
strength, where needed, to hold
this threat over a board of edu-

cation and the teachers union

The Provisional Employee Crisis

A Two-Part Study Of What Happens When One Gets Fired; What The Struggle Is Like

To Survive And How The City Is Handling And Mishandling The Personnel Cuts

By RHONA RICH
(Second of Two Parts)

What exactly has New
York City saved by cutting
2,500 provisionals from the
city payroll? In his preface
to the budget, Mayor Beame
explained that by dropping
provisionals and by elimin-
ating other vacant budget
-nes, the city would save
$12.9 million, This economic
measure was taken in the
Mayor's effort to close the
$1.5 billion “budget gap” be-
tween the city’s expenditures
and its revenues.

Rhona Rich

ly worked on these cuts. The
agencies got the order to make
cuts from the Budget Bureau
and to this Bureau the vari-
ous agencies submitted code,
line and names of provisionals
who could be cut. Although no
compilation of the cuts is avail-
able at this time, most of the
fired provisionals were notified
of their termination on June 7,
so that the city could give these
employees two weeks’ notice be-
fore the June 21 payroll, the
final payday of the fiscal year.

Even if a total of cut provi-
sionals’ salaries were available,
the actual savings to the city
would still be a question mark.
In ordering the cuts the Budget
Bureau did not ask the agencies
to take into consideration how
the salary of the cut provisional
was funded. The agencies were
simply asked to “drop positions
that would least affect the activ-
ites and programs of the
agency.”

Many city agencies receive re-
imbursements from the federal
and state government. If an ex-
provisional worked in such a fed-
eral or state-funded program,
the city would actually pay only
& fraction of his salary. In some
cases, provisionals have actually
been cut from programs that are
100 percent federally funded,
Which means the city does not
save a cent by dropping the pro-
visional from the city payroll,
‘The Budget Bureau could not
say If this would be rectified by
replacing the cut provisionals
with permanent staff.

To get some idea of how the
Provisional cuts were adding up,
more specific information was
available on an agency-by-agency
basis. The Department of Mental
Health and Retardation has
itemized what the cuts may
mean in dollars and cents at the
request of their advisory board
and the Ad Hoc Committee for
Human Services, This depart-
ment lost a total of 25 provision-
als whose aggregate salary was
$252,600. Since this agency is
supported by 60 percent State

Aid reimbursements, the salary
cuts would actually amount to a
savings to the city of $126,300.
This might be “penny-wise
and pound foolish" policy if the
department's worse fears come
true. This department 1s man-
dated by law to carry out various
functions. If they comply with
their mandated responsibilities,
they receive State reimburse-
ments. Since it is a small de-
partment, 240 on staff, they fee)
that “any staff decreases . .
are translated directly into ser-
vice decreases. The terminations
would, in actuality, decimate an
already understaffed depart-
ment.” If they do not have the
manpower to meet their State
mandate they may lase out on

$60 million dollars in State
funding.
What the Department of

Mental Health faces in terms of
strict mandates is also true for
the Human Resources Adminis-
tration, but since the HRA is
considerably larger, the whole
Problem is on a grander scale,
‘The Agency's Administrator/
Commissioner alluded to the
magnitude of the problem when
he said at the public hearings
on the budget, "What we are
urging is the spending of thous-
ands to save millions.” The loss
in federal and state funds could
actually cost. “tens of millions,”
he said, since “it is virtually im-
possible for us not to wind up
delinquent” in meeting the man-
dates when the agency's opera-
tions are handicapped by per-
sonnel cuts.

A total of 964 provisionals
were cut from the HRA in all.
Many of the provisionals were in
programs that are reimbursed by
Federal and State funds, An
exact breakdown as to program
and funding source for each cut
provisional was not available as
HRA’s personnel department is
swamped with the paper work
involved in terminating the 835
provisionals who are to be drop-
ped on June 21,

The personnel department,
however, could determine that 15
of the cut provisionals . were
dropped from programs that are
100 percent federally funded,
After releasing the information
the department spokesman hast-
ened to add, “Conceivably per-
sons will be reassigned to fill
these 6o that funding
will not be lost.”

A total of 200 provisionals
were cut from the Housing De-
velopment Administration, ac-
cording to the Community Ser-
vices Society (CSS), an indepen-
dent civic organization which
has studied the effects of cuts
on the HDA. For the purposes
of this article the CSS zeroed in
‘on just one office in the agency,
the Office of Code Enforcement.

According to the CSS the staf-
fing problems in the agency are
seute, They have been function-
ing with a field staff of 350
persons, when the CSS estimates
that they need 2,000 inspectors
to adequately enforce the hous
ing code, The O85 contends that
this office performs a most es-
sential serviee in a time when
the city, facing a critical housing

penta cannot afford to set
“go the way of aban-
an If the service is not
provided, the CSS says the cost
in further deterioration of the
City's housing stock would be
enormous,

In these cuts, nine provisional
inspectors were lost from this
enforcement office, The cuts
must be considered on top of
the 104 inspector lines which are
currently vacant. With many in-
spectors planning to retire this
year, more inspector lines are an-
ticipated to become vacant soon.

Like other programs men-
tioned, the Office of Code En-
forcement receives 50 percent
reimbursement from the State.
This monetary gain, secured by
“much hard work when Mayor
Wagner was in office,” is being
eroded by personnel cuts, the
CSS source sald.

Since exact figures were not
available at this time, some
rough estimates of the savings
and costs that Representative
Bella Abzug has made, may shed
some light on the issue. The
Congresswoman made these esti-
mates in a letter to Mayor Beame
jast week in which she criticized
the cuts as ‘false economy.”

To keep the provisionals at
their present jobs she estimates
their aggregate salaries to be
$20 million. Since the city would
contribute, on the average, about
40 percent of their salaries—the
rest belng picked up by State
and Federal funding —the city
would only pay $8 million in sal-
aries, Adding the cost of fringe
benefits, the total cost to the
city Is about $13.4 million,

If 2,000 of these ex-provision-
als become recipients of public
aasistance—which she feels is
not unlikely given the present
job market and the fact that
city employees are not eligible
for unemployment insurance —
she estimates that the “loss of
city sales tax, income tax, New
York State income tax returned
to the ctly, administrative costs
for maintaining these persons on
the welfare rolls, rent, Medicaid,
etc.,” may actually end up cost-
ing the city some $6 million.

city's net gain from these cuts
would amount to $7.4 million.
‘This savings represents just one
percent of the total city budget,
Some of the losses as a result
of these cuts are qualitative, they
simply cannot be added up on an
account ledger. One ex-provi-
sional, for example, coordinated
an intern program which brought
50 Columbia University students
to work for the city free-of-
charge. A co-worker said that the

and he did not think that any
other worker could actually bring
Mt off.

Tt ls also hard to caloulate the
loss of real talent. One provision-
al on @ managerial level opined
on the ramifications of this “per-
sonnel policy”: “The impact
won't be seen in the short run.
But in the long run the effects
will be devastating. Some top-

notch people, out of the best
business schools in the country,
have come into this system pro-
visionally, Some have taken pay
cuts to work here. These people
are going to leave. It is an tr-
reparable loss of experience and
talent.” He bitterly added, “Even
if I pass the test, I don’t plan
to stay now,’

Another provisional in a man-
agerial title commented on the
way the threat of cuts had ef-
fectively worked to select out
the best people, “Most of the
staff here are looking for new
jobs and the good people will
find them. He's [the mayor) go-
ing to lose the good people in
this system.”

In the Mayor's effort to cut
expenditures, the provisionals—

The Breaking Point

HEN a nation or state or business or union gets caught

up in the spiral of escalating costs while trying to
provide ever more services for an expanding population, the
toll on its leaders becomes one of high risk and great waste

The high risk is the early death rate as a result of the
great tension under which those leaders must work, and the
great waste is the loss of talent and experience due to their
premature deaths.

It is all rather like the old question of “Which came first:
the chicken or the egg?” Whether it be in the nation or In
a union, the problem is very similar. The increasing popula-
tion or membership demands more and more services, and
yet the skyrocketing costs make these services ever more
difficult to provide, so that elected officials—whether of
government or union—find themselves constantly taking on
more duties in the effort to uphold the responsibilities of
their public trust, And, if they succeed, the population and
membership continues to grow.

Using the statewide union of public employees in this
state, the Civil Service Employees Assn., as an example, our
point becomes obvious.

As the union has strengthened through the years, ever
more meetings are being called in all areas of the state.
Hurrying to one of these meetings in the southwestern part
of the state from his headquartérs in the eastern part of

Business &

ALBANY — Jo

the state, CSEA president Theodore C. Wenzl was seriously

injured in a one-car accident leaving the Thruway. His
hospital confinement will extend for nearly two months,
followed by convalescence at his home.

At each of the union's recentestatewide conventions, a
prominent chapter or unit president has collapsed from
some form of heart trouble and has been hospitalized. Some
of these presidents have been astoundingly young, as was
a former editor of The Leader, who was afflicted by heart
problems while still in his 30's,

The professional staff of field representatives for the
Employees Association has been decimated during the last
couple of years by the early deaths of men barely into their
middle years, Yet the demand for more service continues,
as the union strives to improve the situation of its members
in the face of the increased cost of living, while elected offi-
cials keep looking over their shoulders as the voting public
(including public employees) demands that taxes be kept
in check.

Yet, the toll on the leadership continues to mount. There
are at least two of the 10 statewide officers, besides Dr.
Wenzl, who have been confined to a hospital for serious
illness within the last few years, and there are currently
any number of local and area leaders who are still conva-
lescing.

What is so astounding about the situation is that most
of these people receive only expenses in return for their
efforts, and many of them dig into their pockets in order to
meet their obligations in attending meetings throughout the
state,

CSEA, which has had two minimal dues increases in the
last couple of years and still ranks among the cheapest of
any union in dues, operates on a very tight budget. In order
to meet the current crunch, administrators of the organi-
zation have been reinvestigating methods of stretching their
funds, continuing their new member recrultment-program
and developing better ways of handling short-term invest-
ments,

Still, the problem remains, and, sad to say, the next
generation of leaders will probably never even appreciate
the sacrifices made by this generation. Some people get the
breaks, while others are broken

this in addition to handling the
myriad responsibilities of the
presidency of the largest inde-
pendent public employees union
in the world, the 210,000-mem-
ber CSEA.
Man On The Go

Then, suddenly, Dr, Wenzl
finds himself fist on his back
in a hospital. This would be an
excruciating experience for any
pereon, but for a man on the
go, such as Dr. Wenzl, it can be
even more of a dilemma, It has
not even been possible to prac-
tice some of the hobbies—chess
and violin—that he long ago gave
up to devote full time to union
duties.

Yet, though the body may be
incapacitated as a result of mul-
tiple injuries and the discomfort
of the various surgical opera-
tions, the mind remains active.

As a result, Dr, Wenzl has
turned to reading and letter-writ-
ing to help while away the time
until he is able to return to the
CSEA presidency to which he
has been elected four times by
the union membership.

Among the books he has read
so far have been “Jaws” by
Peter Benchley and “Letters to
an American Lady" by C. 8. Lew-
is, He also tends toward histori-

perience” ie Daniel J. Boorstin,
and biographies of great men,
such as Thomas Jefferson, Win-
ston Churchill and Harry &
‘Truman,

Recalls Churehill

Reminiscing on Churchill, Dr.
Wenal recounts an anectode from
his years in the New York State
Education Department.

“LT was the Grand Marshall
leading the processions at Con-
vocation time into Chancellor's
Hall and organizing things so
that each of the dignitaries to
be honored would find himself
in the proper chair automatically
once on stage. The year that
Winston Churchill was to speak
and recelve an honorary degree,
he was not able to be person-
ally present due to the fact
that, at the last moment, certain
world events took place requir-
ing him to remain in London, As
an alternative, his speech was
delivered from overseas by re-
cording—a most impressive ex-
perience for all in attendance at
the Convocation.”

A more personal Story that Dr.
Wenzl remembers from his long
years of public service to the
state and to the Employees As-
sociation, has to do with Presi-
dent Truman:

“Wihat ® great, genuine per-
son he was. When we had him
for the Convocation, I took our
son, Thurman, then age 7 or 8,
to meet Mr. Truman in the Rob-
ing Room, When I introduced
‘Thurman to the President, he
took the boy on his lap like a
father would and spoke to him
ever so sincerely and spent plen-
ty of time doing so, The thing I
recall was the President saying
40 effectively, ‘Now son, always
study history as much as you
can because it is the most im-
portant thing to know."

President Truman Was, as

Entitled To A Hearing

The Appellate Division, First Department, recently ren-
dered a decision involving an employee of the Environmental
Protection Administration who submitted his resignation
while charges of malfeasance were pending against him.

Following this resignation, he applied for a job with the
New York City Board of Education and was hired on a pro-
bationary basis, He was unable to achieve permanency be-
cause of his previous resignation. The employee sought to
be certified as eligible for the Board of Education position
and also requested\relief In the form of withdrawing his
resignation from the Environmental Protection Administra-
tion and to be tried on those charges, which were lodged
against him.

BEING UNSUCCESSFUL in these requests, after a hear-
ing before the Civil Service Commission, the employee com-
menced an Article 78 proceeding in which the court found
that the Civil Service Commission was correct in denying
him certification on the grounds that the mere resignation
of the employee after the charges of misconduct were filed
against him justified his disqualification from further cer-
tification. The court remanded it to the Commission, how-
ever, because the hearing had been held before a single
member rather than a quorum.

After the second hearing, which resulted in the same
decision, another Article 78 proceeding was commenced
was dismissed by the court. On appeal, the Appellate Divi-
sion disagreed with the lower court’s decision to the effect
that Section 50 of the Civil Service Law. did not mandate
a hearing to be held on an application for certification by
& person who had resigned while charges were pending
against him. The Appellate Division specifically held:

“PETITIONER IS ENTITLED to a hearing at which he
can present his explanation and opposition to a finding of
disqualification. He is also entitled to a disposition by the
Commission which includes specific findings outlining the
reasons for his ineligibility (Civil Service Law, Section 50,
supd. 4).

“We find that at the hearing of Jan. 10, 1972, the peti-
tioner was afforded an opportunity to render a full ex-
planation of his activities leading ultimately to his resig-
nation, However, the Commission did not render any find-
ings of fact based on the evidence adduced,

“While we may ultimately find no fault with the con-
clusions of the Commission, Le., that petitioner is ineligible
for certification, absent findings of fact we cannot ascer-
tain the rationale for the denial of petitioner's application.
We accordingly are remanding this proceeding to the Com-
mission for an enunciation of the express findings forming
the basis of the decision rendered.” (Application of Hart
vy. Bronstein, 353 NYS 2d 186).

decessor, the great four-time
President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
When the man of many trades
Harry Truman, former haber-
dasher and judge, succeeded the
aristocratic PDR, the people were
somewhat slow to accept the
change in styles by which the two
men handled the Presidency,

Yet, Time has ensconced both
Truman and Roosevelt as two
of the handful of great Ameri-
can Presidents,

Different Styles

‘There is & rather apt compari-
son in the current leadership of

Assn., for no two men could be

dent Thomas H. McDonough,

different than that of the re-
cuperating Dr, Wenal.

Tt is no secret that Mr. Me-
Donough has ambitions for the

Toyalty to Dr. Wenal, while mak-
ing those vital decisions, through
consultation with the other top
CSEA leaders, that are required
to keep the giant union on a
forward course,

Loyalty is a very important
consideration, and it must be re-
assuring to Dr. Wenal w know
that the union's leaders have

erehip.

said the new constitution stipu-
lates that a delinquent member
is one who ts in arrears on dues,
and that a delinquent member
can be denied lega) assistance.

He said, "In my own chapter
T have told the grievance com-
mittee and the chapter repre-
sentatives that we would not
approve legal assistance for a
delinquent member, and, in ad-
dition, I have written five chap-
ter representatives and told
them to pay up by June 30 or
they would be dismissed as chap-
ter representatives.

Must Be Firm
“Tt ts just as important to be
firm and impartial with our own
members as we are when we are
dealing with management,
Everyone receiyed a raise
through CSEA efforts and a
select few should not be allowed
to shirk their responsibilities
while so many dedicated mem-

bers paid their dues.”

‘The issue of delinquent dues
has been a subject for discussion
recently at meetings of CSEA's
other regions, too. While payroll
deductions are normally auto-
matic, last year statewide em-
ployees were penalized for their
alleged job action of two years
ago. Consequently, members were
billed by CSEA Headquarters for
dues during the penalty period.
The response was overall excel-
lent, but there are some who did
not pay and this has spurred

the controversy.

. following a county legislative
a mileage reimbursement rate

inflation and sky-high gasoline
prices, the legisiature has chain-
ed county employees with a com-
pletely inadequate mileage re-
imbursement formula,” he sald.

The county at its legisiative
hearing followed the recommen
dation of the legisiature’s own
governmental affairs committee
and established the mileage re-
imbursement rate at 14 cents
per mile retroactive to April 1
Mr. Clark had earlier leveled a
barrage against that recommen
dation, stating that the employ
ees" side should have been heard
by the committee members be
fore making a recommendation
to the legislature.

CSEA had been battling the
legislature for weeks on the mile-
age issue, and the situation even-
tually went to fact-finding. A
fact-finders report prepared by
Dr. Donald Goodman, Niagara
University professor, recommen-
ded a sliding mileage scale, with
a rate of 14 cents per mile retro-
active to January 1 with further
changes tied to prevailing gaso
line price changes.

“The county legislature virtu-
ally ignored the fact-finders
recommendation, giving no con
sideration to his proposal to
make the new reimbursement
rate retroactive to the first of
the year or fils sliding scale pro:
posal that would have helpe
give employees a fair shake
whenever gasoline prices fluctu
ate. Their decision is simply in-
adequate,” Mr. Clark 1

terated

‘The legislative hearing proc
ess makes the decision final, I
hope the county legislators can
ive with that decision, I know

The Two Sides Of State Police |

5 r

ba

There was plenty of time to talk as representatives of State Police administration and Civil Service
Employees Assn. State Police units got together for a two-day labor-management session, as provided
in the contract with’ the state. The event was held at the Ramada Inn, Albany. Shown from left, are:

Martin Horan,

departmental representative, State

lice Headquarters; Al Chieco, assistant deputy

superintendent for labor relations, State Police; James Welch, unit president, and Warren Surdan,
deputy superintendent of administration.

now want our members in their
union for the sole purpose of
gaining this leverage. Our peo-
ple are too clever to fall for
this move by the teachers un-
fons and risk all we have won
over the years.

“CSEA has close to 70 years
experience negotiating for non-
instruetional employees; how
can the teachers unions expect
to win over CSEA members
when they have so much trouble
just getting a decent contract for
thelr own members?

He continued: “Although sev-
Suffolk County School Dis
tricts have been visited by repre

sentatives of the atewide
teacher unions, none of our units
have given them a second look
If a non-instructional unit of

100 or 200 members were absorb-
ed into a unit of 300-400 teachers,
what representation or power
would our people have in this
union? None! It’s strictly a num:
bers game and the teachers want
our dues, strength and leverage
at the bargaining table.

“Our Clerical, Cafeteria, Build.
ings and Grounds and Transpor-
tation Employees form the heart
of a school district, They are
tax-payers in their districts and
boards are now taking a differ-
ent approach to the nondnstruc-
tional employees. Now that we
have gained this, it would be
foolish to hand it over to any
other union,

Bronx, June 12, 1974,

eS ST

Amazing stories continue to
filter through the scene of Thurs-
day night's collapse in the Bronx
where twenty-seven men were
caught in the collapse of a six-
story abandoned tenement and
by the greatest miracle in the
history of the New York Fire
Department, every man got out
alive. Some were badly injured.

There are so many angles to
write about and so many tan-
gents to explore that several col-
umns could be written about the
incident with plenty of material
left over,

From more than one officer
at the fire, I hear great praise
for Dispatcher Dan Buckley who
with his gang on the #4 P to
Mid. tour in the Bronx Central
Telegraph Office, made all the
right calls, sent all the right ap-
paratus and seemed to be just
one step ahead of the people at
the fire thus earning a letter of
thanks to them from Assistant
Chisf Fogarty who arrived to
have problems dropped into his
lap.

To the average person listen-
ing via fire radio, the constant
request by Chief Pogarty for
“mixer off" was frustrating
However, the nature of the mes-
sages which he had to transmit
were so cruel and sordid that
“mixer off" was the only proper
way to handle it, Reporting that
two firefighters were buried yet
visible .. . that yet several more
have been found ete,, this of
course seems like routine col-
lapse traffic until one realizes
that more and more families of
firefighters have special radios
tuned to the fire frequency cov~
ering their husband's Borough.
All a woman or her kids would
have had to hear for instance,
was that let's say all the mem-
bers of Engine 92 were caught in
the bullding when it collapsed!
How would they feel?

With the way the requests for
Chaplains went out, the inter-
ested listener would have to con-
clude that there had been at
least one death and perhaps,
based on previous experience,
multiple deaths. In my case,
having lived through the trawna
of God only knows how many
collapses in forty-nine years, the
sick feeling in the pit of the
guts, the cold sweat, wondering
how the families will take the
news wondering about what
the other members of the
company or companies will go
through, suffering as though they
had lost thelr own flesh and
blood (the members of a
company, living and working to-
wether, with each man’s Ife de-
pending upon the other man,
draws them very close together)
When a man's life depends upon
you and yours on him, you are
drawn into a very Ught clrele
of camaraderie, unequal except
within the confines of the im-
mediate family, The motto ",
all for one and one for all, we
take oare of our own ” was
never more appropriate than
within the confines of a fire
house something the average
citizen would never get to ex-

privileged to experience it to the
hilt for years,

Perhaps it will never be fully
recorded in Department history
as to the multitudinous acts of
heroism and bravery which took
place that night at 862 Jennings
Street in the Bronx,

In one case, speaking with
Captain Nicholas Popolozio of
Rescue Company Four, he tells
me of his effort to obtain a
“Hurts Tool" for his company,
When they arrived there were
only two and they were given to
Rescue One and Two, Captain
Popolizio, whose district covers
all the main highways in Queens
plus some bridges and tunnels,
felt that such a tool simply had
to be obtained for Rescue Four.
He went with hat in hand,
knocking on doors, calling
friends, writing letters, begging,
pleading and finally, with Chief
Fogarty giving the nod, received
the most versatile rescue tool
which has yet to be invented.
Needless to say, the officers saw
that every member of the com-
pany became thoroughly trained
in its use and so, when Rescue
Four along with Rescue One and
‘Three were hurriedly called to
the collapse by Dispatcher Dan
Buckley on June 6th, they were
ready. Under the command of
Lieutenant Joseph Grogan, R-4
arrived and went to work, Gro-
gan crawled into one of the
smallest, most confined spaces he
will ever have to wiggle into and
started to fine D-92 Engine, He
took the Hurts tool with him,
followed by his crew. They got
six firefighters and thought they

whether he got written up or
he didn't . . . he said the feeling
that they had the right tool and,
were there at the right time was
all that counted. “You'll never
know the feeling that comes
from saving a life the hard
way.” How true.

Tremendous credit must go to
many. All present at the inei-
dent worked until they had long
since passed the point of com-
plete exhaustion and then got
their “second wind” and started
all over again. Next week I will
give the names of others who
worked so hard and heroically,
and my apologies to the people
to whom I had promised merito-
rious act plugs this edition, I'm
sure you will understand. The
gang with Rescue Four who got
the seven firefighters out are:

men John Dooley, John Shea,
