Seniors TakeIn PhiladelphiaHistoric SightsBY DAVID ORMONTMrs. John N. Edson, left, of Garden Place, president of the Long Island College Hospital Guild, presents awards to the hospital's leading volunteers at a recent volunteer Awards Tea. Mrs. James P. Costello has served 7867 hours and Henrik Antell 3500 hours as volunteers. Both are residents of Brooklyn Heights.Urges Community To Join Auxilary PoliceHistory was made and a precedent was set on May 1 when 44 members of the Nevins Senior Center rallied forth on that new center%u2019s first excursion, a free bus trip to Philadelphia. Barbara Stewart and Henry Johnson of the center%u2019s staff accompanied the senior citizens.The bus, driven by Stan Szymanski, left the center headquarters at 9:20 a.m. Henry Johnson had given each passenger a plastic bag containing two sandwiches, and a container of orange juice. All ate their lunches seated on benches in Independence Hall Park, then Barbara Stewart, acting as tourist guide, proceeded to show the group some of Philadelphia%u2019s major points of interest.The first visit was to the home of Betsy Ross where the first American, flag was made. Then followed a most interesting trip to Independence Hall where the oldsters saw the room where the second Continental Congress met, the place where the Pennsylvania Supreme Court held its sessions, and the world-famous Liberty Bell with its well-advertised crack. Last but not least was a pilgrimage to the Philadelphia Mint where much of our money is coined. Unfortunately, no samples were available that day.The group started back at 3:30 p.m. Bill Rodgers, a retired professional musician played the harmonica and led the passengersin community singing throughout the round trip. Ulisay Stuart, a retired photographer took pictures )f some of the senior citizens and of some of the outstanding sights. The trip ended at exactly 6 p.m. when the bus reached the center at the corner of Nevins Street and Atlantic Avenue.It was a beautiful day, just perfect for such an outing. The members of the Nevins Center are grateful to Richard Guarino and Wally Butler for planning the trip. The excursion was sponsored by the Social Service Department of the City of New York and it is hoped that this will be only the first of other such outings.CzechBe HonoredCharlotte Garrigue Masaryk, the Brooklyn-born mother and First Lady of Czechoslovakia, will be honored on Sunday, May 13, at the First Unitarian Church, at a special 11 o%u2019clock Homecoming and Flower Communion Service.Dedicated in this Church in 1851, Charlotte Garrigue became one of Brooklyn%u2019s most distinguished children when in later life she m arried Thomas Masaryk, founder and first President of the Republic of Czechoslovakia.The minister of the Church, Dr. Donald W. McKinney, will speak of the life of this remarkable woman, the 50th anniversary of whose death is being marked this month, and the long ties of the Church with the Masaryk family.In a stepped up effort to fight the rising crime rate in Brooklyn Heights, Councilman Fred Richmond has called on his constituents to join the Auxiliary Police Program of the 84th Precinct. Richmond applauded the work of the men of the 84th and urged the concerned residents of the Heights to sign up for the Auxiliary Patrol at the Precinct House at 301 Gold Street.Currently there is a small Auxiliary Force operating out of the 84th Precinct, that program is headed by Patrolm an Robert Ferrentino. Councilman Richmond is hoping to substantially increase the enrollment of the HeightsPatrol by the end of the Spring.Richmond concluded: %u201cThere is no better way for a man or a woman to serve their community than to help protect their neighbors as an Auxiliary Patrolman. With the warm months already upon us, we should not be afraid to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the Heights during the evening hours. A strong Auxiliary Patrol supplementing the work done by the men of the 84th will be a step in the right direction.%u201dThose interested in joining the Auxiliary Patrol should call Patrolman Ferrentino at the 84th Precinct at 834-1150.PHOENIX, May 10, 1973, Page 11BellamyPassesLegislationCommunity input into planning of staff housing by institutions in New York City would be required by a bill passed in the State Senate this week, announces State Senator Carol Bellamy, sponsor of the legislation.The Senator said that this bill, if it becomes law, will prevent a repetition of the kind of institutioncommunity feuds that have occurred in Brooklyn in recent years when local institutions make elaborate expansion plans and begin to act on them without first testing the sentiment of their neighbors.Senator Bellamy said that the bill provides that in New York City no State financial aid shll be given for staff or employee housing at a hospital, college or university until the institution has presented its plans to the local Community Planning Board and that board has held hearings and made a formal recommendation to the City Planning Commission and the Board of Estimate.Under the bill, the institution planning to erect staff housing would be required to furnish detailed information to these agencies, Senator Bellamy said, including the following: number of residential units planned; proposed apartment distribution according to unit size; number of parking spaces to accommodate increased traffic; proposed commercial uses; a description of the site as it then exists; residential and commercial tenants to be relocated; proposed relocation plans; and other incidental and pertinent facts.This newspaper recycling centeris open 6 days a week.sanitationPlease remember, when you bring out your garbage, bring out your newspapers, too (tied in separate bundles, please).Under our newspaper recycling program in Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, and parts of Fort Greene and Park Slope, newspapers are picked up for recycling by Sanitation trucks as they make their normal collections, every day except Sundays and holidays.We hope this makes recycling a little easier.For information on the newspaper recycling program and to find out if your block is included, call 566-5527.Department of Sanitation environmental protection Administration City of New York
