Guzzio Park SlopeKids Rate PresentationProtect FromBigger GameTo the Editor:The Dec. 27th issue reports that a bill has been unanimously introduced by the city council to protect us consumers from unscrupulous TV Repairmen and requiring them to pay $100.00 annual license fee and post surety bond. The item titled: Consumers No Longer Easy Prey for TV Repairmen particularly points out that greater consumer protection from fraud, dishonesty or incompetence can be expected as a result of this bill. Very Good!And now for a question: When can the public expect similar protection from the unscrupulous esquires of the legal profession? (The Jacqueline Onassis case for $235,000-not withstanding).

The %u201cLunaticks%u201d tried to convince people that love is better than war, but it was too late. The characters seemed to be acting out how it is in a black ghetto area. There were prostitutes, junkies, pimps, Black liberation and religious people.The people of the community were trying to get rid of the three %u201cLunaticks%u201d because they were afraid they would make them think and change their ways.Local HistoryTo the Editor:I would like to express my appreciation for the %u201cProfile%u201d appearing in the December 13th edition of the Phoenix. While the life and times of George Guzzio may make an interesting local tidbit, I very much would like to proceed along the lines discussed during the interview to Mr. John Blackmore. That is, to use the old Brooklyn views in such a way as to benefit our communities. This can be done in many ways such as to foster deserving historical designations, arouse local pride and interest in restorations and renovations and perhaps when deemed appropriate in the Way Back When feature of your paper.Thanks to Phoenix and other local newspapers, interest in our historical past has had a renaissance and I believe it will achieve even greater heights as we draw closer to the United States Bicentennial.

But we thought the play was pretty realistic. The play, the actors, the music and the costumes were very good. The actors were all children and teenagers.%u2014 Alfredo Byrd and Nathaniel ColemanSenator UrgesCampaign LawState Senator Carol Bellamy, in a statement just released, urges passage of a New York law for subtantial funding of state wide and state legislative campaigns.Senator Bellamy's position is that campaigns must be publicly funded on a local as well as federal level.Watergate is an example of the corrosive effect large amounts of loose money has on American elections she says and since Congress has taken action now the New York legislature must do likewise.COLLEGEBASKETBALLSt. FrancisV S .Fairleigh Dickinson Sat.,Janl 2Adelphi Univ.Wed.,Jan.16Varsity game 8 15 pm PreAim game 6 00 pmGeneral Admission S2 Unde? t? accompanied t>y adult S' 00btc Hus aiea s best teams in action at St France, College Borough Ha%u2019i Brooklyn near an public tiansitSENSITIVE PORTRAYAL OF CHILDREN THROUGHammfinDELBflumPHOTOGRAPHY643*9654Film Series on Africak i r t t A / Q h r w A / i n n I n V %u00bb%u00bb v i > v v v %u25a0 %u25a0 %u25a0%u201cAfrica: Its Present and itsPast,%u201d a film series spotlighting the vast continent and its peoples, is scheduled at the Brooklyn Public Library's Central Library, Grand Army Plaza, in January and February.
