CSEA Committee Seeks
$14,000 Minimum Pay
To Probation Officers

(Special to The Leader)

ALBANY

The Statewide Probation Committee of the

Civil Service Employees Assn, is calling for a $14,000 mini-
mum annual salary for all probation officers throughout
the state In their report to be delivered at the 63rd Annual

Delegates Meeting of the 210,-
000-member public employee
union slated for the end of this
month,

‘The committee's report calls
for parity between probation of-
ficers and parole officers at the
state and county level and cites
several “test counties” recently
taken over by the New York
State Division of Probation as
the basis for their demands.

The State Probation Division
assumed control of the probation
departments in Warren, Mont-
gomery and Fulton counties last

year in @ test situation, and
since their takeover ts paying ap-
proximately $14,000 a year to the
probation officers in those

Wenzl Blasts Ontario
County For Ignoring
Dispute Procedures

(Special to The Leader)

ALBANY—Theodore C. Wenzl, president of the 210,000-member Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn., took a broad swipe at the management of Ontario County government early

last week in a statement issued reacting to what Wenzl

termed

“some obvious delaying

practices by county officials in an effort to sidestep the final and binding effect of an ar-

bitrator’s ruling."

Dr. Wenz! was protesting an
ongoing battle between Ontario
County CSEA president Frank E.
Christian and County Supervisor
Chandler Southgate over the
county's attempt to discontinue
payment of 50 percent of the
health insurance premiums for
persons who retired after July 1

of this year.

Mr, Christian took the county's
plan to discontinue the medical
plan payments through the
grievance procedure based on the
fact that the county had been
making the half-payment since
1964, and he disputed the “‘snow-
balling effect” that the county

Last week's column on the
subject of the incident on
152nd Street in Manhattan
where two children died and
two radio cars locked a hyd-
rant in front of the building,
thereby receiving some un-
fortunate publicity, came in
for some serious discussion
among the brothers in var-
fous fire houses, all of it
constructive.

In that article I pointed out
that the need for a Fire Depart-
ment representative to address
the new men going through the
Police Academy is a must, In the
opinion of the writer.

It seems that the troops ha
rin into this sort of thi
often and in so many different
ways that hardly a man with
whom I spoke didn't have «
specific ineldent to describe
Some of them made me wince

Prankly, it seems to be quite
ame that the two mo -
portant Departments, Police and
Pire, should, at such a crucial
time as this, be looking at each
other with dark looks due to
lack of understanding, one for
the job of the other

In the Police Academy for in-
stance, the young police officer
gets special training w to
andie himself when must
face an armed criminal. There
are little tricks which give him a
definite advantage in such a
confrontation

Because the fireman has no
to enter into such a con-
ontation, (‘leave the polic
work to the police” says
such training is of no interest
and he lets it go at that

However, because a policeman
is constantly on patrol, and en-
counters fire in his travel:
feels that he must do som
to help as @ matter of duty. 1
is where the trouble comes {:

Based on my own personal ex-
perience, the ‘well meaning
policeman if in a car, parks it
anywhere he can, locks it and
runs into the fire building, Rap-
ping on doors to arouse the ten-
ants, he goes from first floor to
the roof and to add a little ac-
tion to the trip, will break down
a door here and bust some win-
dows there all with good inten-
ton but by doing so, he is invit-
ing disaster, Therefore with
space left to me here, I am go-
ing to pass on to the police of-
ficer, a few pointers which the
firemen, with whom I have
spoken, believe may help to pro-
tect him and help them at the
same time, This is not be
taken as anything but construc-
tive suggestions, Tuck this col-
umn inside the pocket of your
blouse. It may save your life.

First, if you come upon a fire
before doing anything, get off
the alarm. Even if you give it by
radio, delegate some citizen, in a
ho nonsense manner, to get
down to the corner and pull the

NEWCOMERS TO BE MAJORITY IN STATE EXEC COMMITTEE

New members of the State Executive Committee of
the Civil Service Employees Assn. will outnumber hold-
over members after election winners have been deter-
mined, regardless of who wins this year

With the expansion of the committee from 27 de-
partmental representatives to 49, the Committee auto-
matically gains 22 new members. The expansion is to
give large departments proportional representation,
whereas they previously received only one vote per de-
partment, with the exception of Mental Hygiene, which
had four.

Now Mental Hygiene will have 14 representatives,
while Executive, Transportation and Universities will
have four; Labor, three, and Tax, two.

In addition, though, six representatives are not
seeking re-election. Therefore, there will be new faces
from Agriculture and Markets, Civil Service, Education.

Judicial, Law, Social Services.

The combination of 22 expansion seats and 6 vacant
seats comes to a total of 28 new members, or more than
57 percent new members,

What's more, 10 sitting representatives are being
challenged in face-to-face contests, and 5 representatives

Considering the possibility of two upsets of incum-
bent representatives, make-up of the new State Execu-
tive Committee will probably be 30 new members and
19 holdovers. ‘This will provide a sizeable group of ex-
perienced representatives alongside the newcomers to

Senisi Explains Grievance

The Conference also heard
about a grievance at Green
Haven Correctional Facility

from Angelo Senisi, president of
the Green Haven chapter, and
John Deyo, fleld representative.

The grievance, which was
brought by Mr. Senist against
prison superintendent Leon Vin-
cent, claims that Mr. Vincent
violated the civil rights of prison
employees because he removed
& pay phone on the prison
grounds from which employees
used to make personal telephone
calls, Instead the superintendent
sald employees could make per-
sonal calls on the prison phones
provided the calls are urgent and
the employees get permission
from thelr supervisor.

Mr. Vincent had contended
that employees were spending too
much time golng back and forth
to the phone booth, were away
from their posts too long to make
the calls and that news leaks
about occurrences at the prison
were being sent out on the phone
to the news media by em-
ployees.

Mr, Senis{ said the action was

civil rights of the employees, be-

Most effective is the teamwork approach of psychiatrists |

recreational thera:

All modalities of psychiatric treat-
ment are available - individual and group psychotherapy,
hypnotherapy, electroshock, new multi-vitamin and sup-

‘Ignoring Arbitration

ITY, state and Federal employees should become more
C and more aware of the constant attacks being made
on the Merit System and should lend an active hand in
fighting off these efforts to cut down the rules and regula-
tions that make civil service employment viable and
equitable.

We have spoken often in these columns of officials in
various governmental agencies who not only ignore civil
service regulations, but also feel they are above arbitration
rulings when the results don’t sult them.

Such is the case in Ontario County where the county
decided to discontinue contributions to health plans for
employees who retired after July 1 of this year, The workers’
union — the Civil Service Employees Assn. — submitted
this issue to arbitration and a State-appointed mediator
eventually ruled in behalf of the union.

Now the county board has rejected the arbitrator's
binding ruling and has decided to take the issue to the
courts, even though several board members have said
privately that they expect to lose but will “gain time and
save money” with a long-drawn-out court case.

Naturally, the Employees Association is going to fight
right back. But, in the meantime, Ontario officials are not
only showing contempt for the law but also are conducting

@. I'm 21, and since my father
died, I've been getting monthly
social security payments. I've Just
completed my bachelor's degree.
Now I'd like to work toward
an advanced degree, Will social
seourlty continue to pay me
monthly benefits if I go to gradu~
ate school?

A. Yes. You can continue to
get monthly student payments as
long as you are attending col-
lege and remain unmarried. Your
last monthly check will be for
the month before the month of
your 22nd birthday.

Q. After 30 years of marriage,
1 was divorced, and I never got
any support payments from my
ex-husband. Now he Is starting
to get social seourlty checks, and
my friends tell me that I can't
wet a divorced wife's payment
because he didn't support me. Is
this still trae?

A. No, The support require-
ment has been eliminated. A di-
vorced wife can get payment
at 62 or over If her former hus-
band Is getting benefits and if
they were married 20 years or
longer.

Q. I'm 64 and I'm getting re-
duced social security payments.

Questions

and
Answers

T've been told that I'll be enrolled
automatically in Medicare when
1 become 65, What should I do
if E don’t want medical insurance
coverage?

A, Social seeyxity wil send you
information about both hospital
and medical insurance a few
months before you're 65. You'll
also get your Medicare health
insurance card, If you decide you
don't want medical insurance,
just fill out the back of the card,
sign it, and return it to social
security before the month you're
65.

Q. A friend told me that my
grandson, who lives with me,
might be able to get social se-
curity payments when I retire
this year. Is this true?

A. In certain cases, a grand-
child can get payments based on
@ grandparent’s earnings record.
‘The grandchild’s parents must be
disabled or must have died be-
fore the grandparent started
wetting monthly benefits, The
grandchild must have been under
18 when he began living with the
wrandparent, If you want more
information, call, write, or visit
any social security office,

The most striking appoint-
ment, of course, is that of Theo-
dore H. Kheel, the attorney and
labor mediator, when one remem-
bers that Mr. Kheel was credit-

defeating the last bond issue
‘This, indeed, shows the Gov-
ernor's remarkable talent as a
“persuader” of the highest order.

Also impressive is the genuine-
ly broad base of the rest of the
committee, It includes men and
women active in community af-
fairs; bankers, labor leaders,
academicians, Republicans, Dem-
ocrats, etc. There is a ery in the
land for political leaders to
create unity and in New York
State, at least, Governor Rocke-
feller has shown he knows how
to pull people together

Sick Leave Bank
(Part 1 of 2-Part Series)

The contract between the Syracuse Teachers Associ-
ation and the Board of Education of the Syracuse City
School District of Syracuse, New York, contained a provi-
sion whereby each teacher would be permitted to contribute
up to three days from his sick leave accumulation reserve
each school year to a sick leave bank for the benefit of
all teachers in the bargaining unit, Limits were imposed
with respect to the credits any teacher could obtain, and
to the total extent to which the Board of Education could
be charged. The State Comptroller held that the sick leave
bank provision in the contract was unlawful, The Teachers
Association then instituted a declaratory judgment action
Against the Board of Education and the Board impleaded
the Comptroller.

Special Term of the State Supreme Court granted
summary judgment declaring the provision illegal and the
Teachers Association appealed. Appellate Division, Fourth
Department, reversed the lower court and held that the
provision was a term condition of employment and was,
therefore, within the competence of the Teachers Associ-
ation and the Board of Education to negotiate and include
in their contract. Syracuse Teachers Association, Inc. and
the Board of Education, City School District, Syracuse, New
York, 345 N.Y. Sup. 2d 239.

IN THE SUMMER of 1968 the Teachers Association and
the Board of Education of the Syracuse City School District
entered into negotiations pursuant to the provisions of
the Taylor Law concerning the terms of employment of
the teachers in the district school, The parties agreed,
among other things, effective for the two-year period be-
ginning Sept. 1, 1969, each teacher members could “be per-
mitted to contribute up to three days from his sick leave
accumulation reserve each school year to a sick leave
bank which shall be established to aid teachers who suf-
fer prolonged illness and whose sick leave accumulation
has been exhausted. The Board shall match each contri-
bution up to a maximum total reserve of 3,000 days. The
line item in the 1969 budget shal! be $10,000.”

The collective agreement also provided that in case of
illness of a prolonged nature, a teacher with three years
or less of service, who should otherwise be qualified, could
draw up to forty days of credit from such accumulated di
in the sick leave bank, and a tenured teacher so qualified
could draw up to ninety credit from the bank, Pro-
visions were made for suitable medical examinations and
reports to assure proper use of such privilege and that ex-
penditures from the bank could not exceed the Board’s
line Item in the budget

AFTER THE CONTRACT became effective, the State
Comptroller ruled that the provisions for transfer or as-
signment of sick leave credits from one public employee
to another is unlawful, and payment by the Board of Edu-
cation under its agreement with plaintiff association would
not be approved. The Board of Education so notified the
Teachers Association and advised it that the Board was
unable to abide by the provision in the contract. The plain-
tiff thereupon brought an action against the Board for judg-
ment declaring the validity of that provision of the collec-
tive agreement, The Board of Education impleaded the State
Comptroller as a third party defendant. Special Term, Su-
preme Court declared that the provision contravened the
intent and purpose of Section 3005(b) of the Education Law
and agreed with the Comptroller from one public employee
to another of a benefit of this sort, “which is by its very
nature personal and unassignabl Special Term granted
summary judgment in favor of the Board of Education and
the Comptroller.

if you have to drive it up on the

civilian cars blocking but citizens

Second, if you must enter the
fire building, never go above the
fire floor. If you do, and the fire
gets out into the hallway, it will
mushroom up the stairway after
you and, should you be unable
to get into an open apartment
you will be flirting with certain
death. We have had many inci-
dents where policemen, aro ra
tenants on the floors above th:
fire, led them up the stairs ¢
supposed safety, only to find
that the door to the roof was
padiocked or nailed shut in order
to thwart the junkies who were
using the roof for a “shooting
gallery." One policeman had 12
people in tow and there was no
turning back because of the
mushrooming fire behind them
He was able to shoot the lock orf
and get them on to the roof but
failing that, he and the tenants
would have been burned to
death, Never try to go to the

stances,

is the real death trap. Upon en-
tering, you may find the apart-
ment clear as a bell in spite of
the fire underneath. Within a
matter of seconds, the “clear”
apartment will fill with super-
heated gas (very black or brown
smoke) and burst into an infer-
no. You would never have a

chance of survival under such
conditions. Firemen, with their
masks, heavy protective clothing
and walkie talkie radios on their
coats have been trapped and
killed or almost killed in such a
situation. The fire at 23rd
Street where the 12 firemen were
burned to death led them into a

store where there wasn't even a
whiap of smoke .., again “olear

the floor collapsed Into the cellar
which was an inferno, and all
were dead.

If you encounter masses of
people on fire escapes, make
every effort to get them back

into thelr apartments and close
thelr doors tightly. Most of those
fire escapes are so old that they
will not stand such great weight
and have been known to collapse.

of their apartments with ladders

What Really Happens October 1st?

ANSWERS TO 50 MOST-ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT RESTRUCTURING OF CSEA

The following 50 questions and answers
about the restructuring of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. were prepared by the restructuring
committee under chairman A, Victor Costa.

Yes and No. Yes in the area of management or-
ganization and representatives.

No in its basic principal of representing its mem-
bers for employee benefits and conditions of
employment,

ARE THERE STTLL CONFERENCE, CHAPTER
AND UNITS?

Yes, except conferences will be called Regions.
Chapter and Units remain the same.

HOW ABOUT THE OFFICES OF THE ASSO-
CIATION?

‘There will no longer be the five vice-presidents,
instead each region will elect by popular bal-
lot a “regional president” who will be a vice-
president of CSEA. This guarantees each region
one vice-president and a direct representative
to the president of CSEA,

‘There will also be an executive vice-president
who shall be the next in line to the presidency,
and shall represent the president and be in
charge of the administrative duties the president
may delegate.

‘There ts no change jn the treasurer or secretary

} HOW LONG WILL THE OFFICERS SERVE?
. For two years and their term shall commence

texcept for 1973) in July of an odd-number
year.

) ARE THERE ANY SALARIES CONNECTED

WITH THE OFFICES?

No salaries, However, the Board of Directors
may grant the president, the treasurer and sec-
retary an honorarium,

HOW ABOUT THE REGIONAL PRESIDENTS?
Regional presidents may receive an honorarium
from thelr respective regional boards.

WHY NOT SALARIES?

. If salaried they are then employees of CSEA

and under the constitution can not hold eiec-
tive office.

18 HEADQUARTERS BEING MOVED FROM
ALBANY?

HEADQUARTERS?

‘These are regional offices to be used for ser-
vicing a region, its chapter units and members,

WILL THERE STILL BE A CSEA BOARD OF
DIRECTORS?

Definitely so, more than ever! When restructur-
ing looked at the Board we found many deficl-
encies, one was that of representation,

‘The new board will have in the State Division
one representative for the first 3,000 members
and one additional for every major part thereof.
Each county will have one representative for
each 10,000 or major part thereof,

WILL BOARD MEMBERS BE ELECTED?
Yes — no change.

ARE THE BOARD COMMITTEES CHANGED?
Yes, Board committees have been changed, con-
solidated or combined. Basically they will do
the Job.

ARE STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE
BOARD CHANGED?

Greatly so, We reduced the standing committee
from 21 to 6, and only retained the committees
which fill a direct need to employees’ work ben-
efits or Association's Board supports.

ARE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AFFECTED?

To some degree yes.

@ No Board member may be on more than one
committee or chairman thereof,

@ Board members serving in more than one
capacity can not delegate proxy when they
will be physically present,

@ Only elected members of the Board shall be
permitted to introduce, debate, or vote on
motions,

ARE THERE RESTRICTIONS ON WHO CAN
SERVE ON THE BOARD?

Correction On Time For

Departmental Meetings

There has been a change in
the departmental meetings listed
in Jost week's Leader listing of
the tentative program for the
annual Delegates Meeting at
Concord Hotel Sept. 30 to Oct, 4
‘The departmental meetings have
been scheduled for 8:30 p.m
Monday, Oct, 1. Also scheduled
for the same time is a meeting
in the Columns for school district
chapter delegates

they should mandate equal com-
pensation, The Job duties are the
same regardless of location and
the educational and experience
requirements for the probation
officer are so stringent that «
$14,000 minimum annual wage is
certainly not extravagant.”

Brady's committee intends to
study the effectiveness of the
takeover to determine the success
factor in those counties where
the state has assumed full con-
trol of the probation function.

A study is also under way to
determine the scope of effective-
ness of the newly established
Probation Academy that opened
Just last week.

CSEA Secretary Returns

Dorothy MacTavish, statewide
secretary of CSEA, has returned
from a month's visit to Scotland
and England, and has resumed
her secretarial duties.

She has requested that her
apologies, and her thanks, be
extended to the chapter presi-
dents and conference presidents
who invited her to their ‘Meet
the Candidates” nights, which
invitations she did not receive
until the affairs were over.
Serious ilness in her husband's

for GOD'S SAKE, when you are
on a fire escape, NEVER break
& pane of glass for ANY reason.
By dolng so, you permit oxygen
which is the third element need-
ed for combustion, to sweep into

the apartment with the result
that the place will explode into
flames within seconds.

These are only a few of the
hazards you, as police officers,
face when you get involved in a
fire situation. It is a tricky and
fatal business and because we in
FDNY. need you, and you need
us, it is not right to take a

chance getting hurt when it can
be avoided with a little restraint.

Flaumenbaum Wires Nixon
To Protest Surtax Charge

Irving Flaumenbaum,
president of the Nassau
chapter, Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn., last week
wired President Nixon with
strenuous objections to a pro-
posed Income tax surtax.

“I do not know where you can
expect to Ket this money from,
when none of us have anything
left of our paychecks to even
complete a week's purchases or
pay our bills,” ‘Mr, Plaumenbaum

Guild Is Back

ALBANY — Robert C, Guild,
the Civil Service Employees
Assn.’s chief collective negotiat-
ing specialist for the Institution-
al bargaining unit and Mental
Hygiene Departmental negotia-
tor, has returned to work after
protracted illness.

Guild says that he is feeling
up to par again and that he
wants to express appreciation to
CSEA members and staff for
their cards, letters and visits
during his hospital stay

told the President,

Similar telegrams to area
Congressmen bade them to act
to block the idea.

White House sources had float-
ed reports that the president
was considering @ 10 percent sur-
tax as an anti-inflation move.

Mr, Plaumenbaum also urged
members of CSEA to wire, tele-
phone or write to the President
and thelr Congressmen with thetr
views.

The wire to President Nixon
said; “I understand that you are
considering a surtax against the
taxpayers of the United States.
As president of a 20,000-member
union, I object very strongly on
behalf of my members against
the imposition of such a tax. I
do not know where you can ex-
pect to get this money from,
when none of us has anything
left of our paychecks to even
complete a week's purchases or
pay our bills. It is my sincere
hope that you will reconsider
your action and drop this idea of
@ surtax.”

Southern Gonf Holds September Meeting

(Continued from Page 3)
He claimed the employees’ con-
versutions on the prison phones
are recorded by the administra-
fon even though prison inmates
are allowed to make personal out-
side telephone calls which are
not listened in to by the ad-
ministration.

Double Standard Of Conduct

Mr, Senisi also pointed out that
a large number of grievances
have been filed against the ad-
ministration at Green Haven,
and he wondered why there is
4 double standard of conduct be-
tween the administration and the
employees. “When employees
violate the contract, they throw
the book at us, Yet it seems
that the administration can do
whatever it wants,” Senisi said.

Field representative Deyo ac-
knowledged that there are a
number of grievances at Green

Haven, and he is making sure
that the prison administration
and the Department of Correc-
tion complies with all stages of
the grievance procedures.

Chief field representative Lu-
posello said all administrative
remedies must be exhausted be-
fore any other action is consid-
ered in the matter of grievance
procedures,

Nellie Davis, former Southern
Conference president, reported
that three chapters for retired
CSEA members have been found~-
ed in the Southern area with a
total of 1,660 members. Re-
ured employees from Dutchess
and Putnam are holding meet-
ings at Hudson River State Hos-
pita. Those from Orange, Sulll-
van and Ulster counties are
meeting at Middletown State
Hospital and retirees from Rock-
land and Westchester are meet-
ing at Rockland State Hospital

Grossfield Says He'll
Fight For Counties, Too

(From Leader Correspondent)

ROCHESTER — CSEA Western Conference president
Samuel Grossfield said he will work to end the harassment
of state employees if he 1s elected Western Region president

He said he'll also fight for wage increases above 5% per-

cent for county employees.

One example of harassment,
he said, is the freeze on new
hiring of state Mental Hygiene
employees.

“This puts an extra load on
present employees who are al-
ready carrying impossible bur-
dens,” he maid. “The state better
find some other way to save
money instead of at the expense
of the health of our members.”

He mid the CSEA should ap-
ply its muscle in efforts to lft
the Mental Hygiene employment
freeze, “We must put an end to
the roller-coaster polley toward
our state hospitals and schools,”

Mr, Grossfleld said county em-
ployees are “taking a terrific
beating” from county legislators
“who are lstening to the tax-
payers’ hue and cry,”

“The cost of living has been
galloping out of sight in the past
ax months and county employees

are entitled to a cost-of-living
adjustment, A 51 percent in-
crease Is ridiculous, Tt would cost
any county employee money be-
fuse it's not anywhere near
enough tw cover increases in
taxes and the prices of food,
gasoline and housing.”

Right People, Wrong Photos

In the Sept. 11 issue of The
Leader, on page 9, which tn-
cluded election campaign photos,
two pictures — of A, Victor Costa
addressing @ meeting of the Long
Island Conference and of David
Silberman welcoming candidates
ta the Long Island meeting —
were transposed, The Leader
apologizes to Mr, Costa, who ls
CSEA second vice-president, and
to Mr. Silberman, who ts Confer-
ence president, and to all the
other candidates who appeared
in the pictures.

Belle Sprouts, A Hospital Aide Who
‘Never Met A Person I Didn't Like’

(From Leader Correspondent)

HEN Belle Sprouts went to work 20

years ago at Rochester State Hos-
pital, she joined the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. because “at that time you
Joined everything they offered you.”

But Ms, Sprouts, who was the hospital's
“Psychiatric Aide of the Year" last year,
didn't become super active in CSEA until
three or four years ago.

“Things are changing,” she explains. “In
order to know how things are changing, you've
got to be in there and do something. I don't
know how much I contribute to CSEA, but
Tm going to be active in it until I Jeave
here."

Today, says hospital chapter president Pat
Timineri, Belle Sprouts and CSEA “are
synonymous. When they speak of it, they
think of her,”

He describes her as “a good speaker. When
she believes in a cause, she fights for it,
She doesn't give up until she gets an answer.
She does a lot more than what's expected of
her, She puts in Jots of hours for CSEA,"

Marie McMaster, who, like Ms. Sprouts,
is a mental hygiene therapy aide, says Ms.
Sprouts knows how to “make herself known
to patients and employees alike. I don't have
it, I guess it’s because she's so easy to get
to know."

She's easy to get to know because she likes
people, And she claims that the old phrase
“I never met a person I didn’t Uke” applies
as much to her as to anyone.

Her looks and her mannerisms have been
mistaken many times for those of Pearl
Bailey's, and she's flattered because she thinks
Ms, Bailey is “such a fabulous person.”

On her job, she says, “there are times when
you shake in your boots. But as long as you
treat residents like human beings, you'll be
all right.”

She says she wouldn't want to work any-
where else and she intends to stay at the hos-
pital until she retires in nine years, when she'll
be 56,

haven't achieved any big education from
books,” she says, "but I've achieved a better
education. I know how to live with myself
and with other people.

She thinks everyone could profit from work-
ing just one week in psychiatric work. “You'd
be surprised what a better world it'd be,”
she says.

In many other jobs, employees work with
machines and things, she points out, “But
here you're dealing with people, and they
come from every walk of life

She wears a blue-and-white “I'm concern-
ed” button on the lapel of her white uniform.
She picked it up during Mental Hygiene
Week and liked it s0 much she kept wearing
it,

“I think anyone working at Rochester State
Hospital is concerned,” she says, “We're con-
cerned because we're here cight hours a day,
five days a week. We know the patients’
needs. We don't have to sit down at a com-
puter, like they do in Albany, to find out the

needs.
“Things are chang!
order to knew how
things are changing you’ve
got to be there and
do something.”

“A need might be as simple as someone
to ght « cigarette or maybe someone to give
a smile, Computers don’t give smiles,”

She's found that “every human being in
this hospita) wants just what I want dur-
ing the day — u little TLC (tender loving
care),”

Ms. Sprouts has compassion for non-patients
too. Since last year she's worn on her wrist
& Missing-in-Action bracelet, representing an
American serviceman in Vietnam,

When she came to Rochester from Georgia
in 1946, she held a number of jobs in the
seven years before she Joined the State Hos-
pital staff

BELLE SPROUTS

She worked in a department store bakery,
she was an attendant in a medical hospital
and she served four years as a companion for
the 7-year-old daughter of the president of
Colgate Rochester Divinity School.

“I quit to enroll in a school for practical
nursing, but I ran out of money after three
months," she says. “I really wanted to be a
nurse, but I felt it was too much of a
challenge.”

But she believes that it doesn't matter what
& person does so long as she’s happy doing it.
“And I won't leave my job no matter how
many budget freezes they put on us.”

Just after she went to work at the State
Hospital, however, there were times when she
wondered why she had.

“They told us to take the patients and
go pick beans,” she recalls, “I came from
Georgia, so I started to wonder about that.
But it was the only therapy they had for
the patients then. We picked a lot of beans.”

She started work in the old Monroe Build-
ing, which was torn down several years ago,
and she's worked in every building on the
grounds. "Wherever there's a patient, I like
to work there,” she says

She now works mostly with male residents
over 65 in the Orleans Building. And she never
gets very far from her work because she's
lived on the grounds in Home 2 since 1966.

Ms, Sprouts, who wears an “integrated”
ring (it has one black and one white pearl),
is a charter member of the employees’ new
human rights committee

“Wherever there's a mass of people, there'll
be discrimination,” she says. “But the most
common type of discrimination Is age dis-
erimination.”

‘She's also a member of the Friends of Ro-
chester State Hospital, an organization of
volunteers,

One of their projects has been “Pashions
for Living,” which involves nuns from Merey
High School who give patients weekly sew-
ing lessons

Ms. Sprouts volunteers her Tuesday eye-
nings, helping to keep discipline and supply-
ing the teachers with thread, needles and
other needs.

“The patients gave a fasion show in June
and 22 of them modeled the clothes they
made themselves," she says proudly.

Ms. Sprouts, who's a widow, is thinking
about going to school to study social work.
She figures there’s a great need today for
black social workers, a need which ought to
be just as great when she retires from hos-
pital work

But she isn’t yolng to settle in Rochester

“I’m going to Georgia (her father still lives
near Atlanta), where there won't be any
snow in my face.” she says, “because I can't
tolerate anything that has no respect for
your face.”
