Staunton, Leader, Tuesday, April 23, 1974 Students publish newspaper Know your squadsmen Continued From Page 1) 1 Ue -N editorial "supplication to "We ask forgiveness for both our sins of omission and commission in this our embryo issue. "We beseech your indulgence and your restraint from violence upon us both individually and collectively if we have offended thee. We are heartily sorry for all our goofs, and we pledge ourselves most earnestly to attempt to improve all facets of the Wee Voice in the next issue; however, remember this came to you for nothing, and you get what you pay for!" Features of the paper include a comic strip and a horoscope. Mrs. Kincheloe is one of about 10 counselors working in an elementary guidance program in Augusta County schools under a federal Title III grant.

The program as used in the county has been accepted for national validation as a sample program by the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Ladd Elementary and Verona Elementary, both of which have full-time guidance counselors, are the county's two model schools for the program. Beginning with the next school year, materials on the student newspaper and other aspects of the guidance program will be available from the University of Virginia.

Wilson Elementary may get another master's degree student next fall to serve as a counselor, and Mr. Patterson said the school probably will get a full-time guidance counselor in 1975. In appreciation of Mrs. Kincheloe, the current edition of "Wee Voice" has a "thank-a-torial" by Scott Harris, a seventh grader. He writes, in part, that the students "will all miss a good friend who spent her last day as a counselor at Wilson Elementary on April Tip could mean for you I The Staunton Leader's "Secret Witness" program will pay $4,825 for the anonymous tip which leads to Debbie Back being returned alive to her parents.

O. Box 59, Staunton, 24401. FBI assumes SLA letters are real SACRAMENTO, Calif. AP) The FBI says lt "can't take the chance" that the two latest messages purported to be from the Symbionese Liberation Army are not authentic. The FBI said it will assume the messages are real because they threaten to kill policemen if SLA members are harmed and because the life of newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst may still be in danger.

The messages, signed by a "General Pax," do not reflect the usual pattern of the terrorist group. They were received Monday by the Sacramento Bee, and said five California peace officers would be executed for any SLA member killed. The SLA, a group which authorities believe Is multiracial, heavily armed and numbers about 25 young men and women, claims responsibility for the Feb. 4 kidnaping of Miss Hearst. John Reed, agent in charge of the Sacramento FBI office, said the FBI cannot assume the messages received by the Bee are not the real thing.

"Since the lif of the victim is still In jeopardy and the lives of police officers are in jeopardy, we can't take that chance," Reed said. The messages, one in pencil and the other on a tape, were sent by mail to the Bee in a brown manila package with a Berkeley postmark. Before arrival of the package, the last communication from the SLA was received April 3. In it, Miss Hearst renounced her family and said she had become an SLA comrade. Previous communications have included evidence purported to show that the SLA had kidnaped Miss Hearst.

But the Monday messages lacked any such evidence. They also lacked the usual SLA signoff "Death to the Fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people."

The pay scale as proposed by the board is based on an index, but not a variable base index as was requested. The index used by the board is .03 per cent for each of the 14 steps on the scale. David S. Showker III, spokesman for the ACEA committee, pointed out that the committee still favors a variable base index and asked that a joint committee be appointed to study the proposal prior to the next fiscal year. "This is the one (scale) we felt is nearest to what you wanted," Dr.

Boyd told the group. William Ballew, board member, pointed out that only four school division in the state have variable base index scales. Speaking against the variable base index, Mr. Ballew said he felt it would commit the board beyond the place where it should go. Such scales, he added, have a tendency to "Our aim," he noted, "is to be competitive with surrounding school divisions." "We feel we've got a reasonable and fair proposal," added Bill Borden, board member.

The scale as presented is expected to be reflected in the board's budget which it will present to the Augusta County Board of Supervisors during a joint dinner meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Wilson Elementary School. for burglary Monday morning.

Argenbright 23, Council and the Planning Commission will hold a joint public hearing to consider rezoning the other 16 lots in the same block fronting on S. Wayne Avenue from RB-1 to RB-2. The lots are owned by the First Baptist Church. Council considered amending the motor vehicle tax ordinance to allow a refund of 80 per cent of the fee for a city license if a vehicle owner moves from the city or sells or trades his vehicle prior to the beginning of the license year, April 15. A refund of 50 per cent will be in effect prior to Oct.

1 of the current license year, and a refund of 33.3 per cent from Oct. 1 to Jan. 1. A refund may be obtained by showing proof of payment and fragments of the windshield decal to the proper employee in the city manager's office. In response to comments by several councilmen that decals are hard to remove, City Manager Charles T.

Yancey said: "AH we require is enough to identify the year and number and to show it has been destroyed." The matter was referred to City Atty. Carter R. Allen, who will reword the ordinance to reflect the proposed refund schedule. Mr. Allen was asked to write to the operators of the Cherub Nursery School, 1079 Jefferson to warn them that they face court action unless they cease to violate a zoning law which forbids them to advertise or to employ outsiders.

Under its permit, the school is supposed to be operated only by occupants of the house at that address, and is forbidden to advertise. Neighbors have complained about the operation of the school, and letters of warning from the city building inspector have had no effect, council was told. Richard Parker of Wvpt tv, a Public Broadcasting System station, spoke to the council about the station's services to the Shenandoah Valley and its need of financial support from the localities. He said Wvpt serves 20 counties throughout the Valley with educational programming during school hours and general public broadcasting from 3 to 11 p.m. Last year the station broadcast 3,000 hours, including 300 hours of local programming.

Mr. Parker said the station expects to raise 10 per cent of its needs for the coming year with a week-long auction beginning May 19. Another 70 per cent comes from the state, $40,000 from the federal government and $20,000 from the localities. He said Waynesboro's per capita share would be 10 cents, for a total of $1,670.70. However, Mayor Scott said is tentatively earmarked for the station in the city's proposed 1974-75 budget.

Council will meet next Monday for further discussion of the budget. jn nun in iiiiiiiiiniiiiii of Rt. 1, Grottoes, was sentenced to four years in prison for the Oct. 1, 1973 burglary of Grand Caverns.

NEW YORK (AP) Accumulated gas is the suspected cause of the powerful explosion that ripped open two skyscrapers near the United Nations and injured nearly 100 persons. Fire Commissioner John T.

O'Hagan called it "a miracle that no one was killed" Monday in the early morning blast. The explosion ripped off a 40-foot wide strip of the exterior wall of a relatively unoccupied 25-story commercial building. Its force spread destruction through a neighboring luxury apartment house. At least 93 persons were hurt. Ten required hospitalization, including one listed today in critical condition.

Another victim suffered glass splinters in both eyes. Investigation of the explosion was hampered because the basement of the brick and steel commercial building at 312 E. 46th Street was flooded when water lines burst. However, a number of witnesses claimed they smelled gas prior to the blast and fire officials held to a theory the explosion was unleashed by a gas leak in an elevator shaft. About 45 persons were in the huge pyramid-shaped commercial structure at the time of the explosion.

An hour later up to a thousand employes would have been arriving at the building for work. Next door at the Envoy Towers apartment building, windows were blown out, walls and ceilings collapsed and the possessions of hundreds of residents were hurled through the air. Bewildered apartment dwellers, many of them evacuated in their bed clothes, told similar stories of being awakened suddenly by the blast and finding their apartments in chaos. Bluenose II has black eye NORFOLK, Va. (AP)-The Nova Scotiann schooner Blue-nose II has a black eye, but the hurt is about all gone now.

Despite the bit of earlier embarrassment, a gala party aboard the schooner went off without a hitch Monday.

Concurrent with this campus action, a meeting was held Monday with the Commonwealth's attorney, the chief of police and the MBC administration. Dr.

Kelly stated: "More vigorous enforcement of city and state ordinances and laws will take place concerning such matters as abusive language, disorderly conduct, and drinking in public." Dr. Kelly also asked the Student Government Association to recommend more effective procedures of enforcement for possible reinstatement next year. In a letter to the editor of The Staunton Leader, Bobbie Carden, president of the Student Government Association, said: Pagel) "Due to tne inconveniences caused those who live in the surrounding area by some Mary Baldwin students and their guests, the Student Government Association would like to apologize for these disturbances and assure these citizens that such blatant disruption of privacy and property of Staunton residents will not be tolerated and that students will henceforth assume a greater responsibility for their own conduct as well as their guests. "We realize that our apology does not in any way compensate for the breach of privacy which we have caused; however we hope that as we work out new procedures of enforcement, the community will not lose respect for all of the young women who are a part of the Mary Baldwin community." bell on probation for two years, suspended his driver's license for six months, and fined him $200.
