It held up passage of an Wednesday, Apr. 21, 1063 15. Oct.

15 would be the may-. or deadline jor submission to council. Finds Objection An ordinance making it a punishable offense to keep an animal or bird which causes! undue noise passed its first test last night. But action was not unanimous. Councilman Peter Rybak maintained the bill is "not clear." The proposed law states: "No person shall keep any animal or birds which, by causing frequent or long continued noise, shall disturb the comfort or repose of any person in its vicinity." Rybak challenged the measure, claiming it talks in terms of nuisance without setting standards.

Council heard the Planning Commission's decision to defer proposed rezoning of the last portion of residentially zoned properties on Stefko Boulevard from residential to commercial. Businesses, plants, hospitals, educational institutions and professional offices in Bethlehem were toured yesterday by more than 850 area public and parochial schoolteachers. They participated in "Business-Education Day," an annual program sponsored by the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce and the teachers. After a 4o-minute opening session in Liberty High School, the teachers were divided into 39 groups for individual tours. The largest group, some four busloads, visited the Bethlehem Steel Corp.

Normally, all first-year teachers in the school district make the steel corporation tour. However, the group was larger this year because "Business-Education Day" was not held last year and both first and second-year teachers made the tour. The tours ended in mid-afternoon following luncheons by the hosts at several places throughout the city. Extends Greetings At the high school, greetings were extended by Dr. James G.

The idea of participating in the Haydn and Handel Society's 150th anniversary observance in Boston in October has plenty of appeal for the Bethlehem Bach Choir members. They've suggested to the choir board to save money by not sponsoring the traditional choir dinner after the festival performances. Instead, they've proposed, the money can help defray the cost of the trip. Alvin H.

Snyder, manager of the Bethlehem Bureau of Employment Security at 433 E. Broad reports the office is now recruiting applicants to fill a Job Corp order under the Economic Opportunity Program. There are immediate openings for unemployed young men. Eligible are young men 16 through 21 years of age, out of school at least 90 days and out of a job.

"What direction are we going in?" one member asked. And, as a result, council will call together "all parties concerned." In the meantime, the customary ordinance which would strike the street from the map will be drafted so that it would be ready when needed.

The idea of forming a subcommittee to aid the commission was ventured when Business Administrator Thomas H. Hissom last night told City Council it would be advisable to have new, later deadlines for capital programming review. Council wasn't prone to change timing without further study. It likes the advantage of having the capital program before it in the beginning of the year so that it is separated from yearly operating budgets. President Robert P.

Snyder called a capital program a "think sheet." He said if it's brought in at the same time as municipal budgets, "we'd feel we may be passing on the same thing." Hissom asked for an Aug. 15 date for submission of the five-year capital expenditures program. Present Timetable The administrative code now asks that it be reviewed by the Planning Commission by April The commissions recommendations then go to the may who submits the program to council by June 1. Hissom said the timetable presents problems because it requires preparation of the program starting at the beginning the year, right after adoption of the annual budgets. He reported the problem has been reviewed with the mayor, department heads, the council's finance chairman and members of the commission, and that they "conclude the program's cycle should be rescheduled for later in the year." The new schedule would have the program in the hands of the commission not later than Aug.

eventually may use for expan-i sion. Susski raised issues heard! many times before. He said Lehigh isn't living up to agreements. As a result, there will be a council committee investigation to determine the score. That assignment goes to the public works committee headed by Mrs.

Elaine Meilicke. Susski contended Lehigh isn't sticking to what it said when its master plan was given a public hearing months ago. He claimed Lehigh is "going beyond its master plan." If that's the case, the university should "come back to the people and tell them." Susski said he knows of at least a couple of instances when residents have been approached to sell way before the announced schedule. The immediate reaction of the majority of council was that there's nothing legally wrong in that. A property owner can say "no" if he wants to, it wasj pointed out.

But if there would be any-j thing happening to promote blight, or if Lehigh isn't meet-1 ing written and oral agreements! council said it would like to i know about it. Seeks State Funds Council speeded through a resolution to ask the state for to aid the Webster Street urban renewal plan which could create high rise senior citizen housing. But it frowned upon taking immediate action on a series of recommendations which would have granted certificates of appropriateness for ventures examined by the Board of Histor ical Architectural Review. Because that board's recommendations reportedly reached council only moments before last night's meeting, council refused to act. It would be an infranc-tion of policy, the majority ruled.

Thus no action was taken on the board's approval of razing the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity house and the Salem Lutheran Church parsonage at Market an High streets, replacing it with a six-story, contemporary, luxury apartment house. Nor was there action on a proposed sign for the Miller Furniture Store on Main Street and installation of a grassed area between sidewalks and curbing in the Monocacy Creek urban renewal area. Holds Up Action Council, too, agreed not to decisively act on the proposed vacation of Santee Road within the new junior senior high school site. Santee is the boundary between the city and Bethlehem Township. It is a route between the Butztown area, Linden Street and Route 22.

The Planning Commission recommended vacation of the Bethlehem portion provided the among the general public." He said hospitals might be forced to assume the role of! county health departments because the agencies are not provided for by the governing authorities. He pointed out that Bucks and three other counties "are good exceptions of the fact" that there are no other county health departments in Pennsylvania. Fearing the results of loss of local control if voluntary groups do not play a larger role, he concluded: "Is the health department to play the main role in community health planning?" However, he said he was encouraged by the Bucks County volunteer effort while noting that the Tuberculosis and Health Society had increased its Easter and Christmas seal sales by more than $6,300 last BOW-WOW! LOOK AT THIS! FRYING CHICKEN Special to The Morning Call PHILADELPHIA The; Pennsylvania Supreme Courts Tuesday affirmed the judgment of a Northampton County Court! ruling against the Zurich Insur-j ance Co. of Philadelphia, and in' favor of Joseph Wzontek of 315 Shoeneck Nazareth. The Supreme Court ruling was the result of an appeal by the Philadelphia insurance firm on a decision handed down by Judge William G.

Barthold who directed a verdict in favor of Wzontek in Northampton County Court in a case arising from a fatal plane crash on July 20, 1958. The verdict, handed down Oct. 16, 1963, against the insurance company, stipulated that it must pay a total of 517,925 to Wzontek, administrator of the estate of his son, Anthony Wzontek, 20, who was killed in the crash. Judge Barthold directed the verdict after finding that a policy issued by Zurich to Edwin D.A. Reviews Rights Rulings At Law Class Pennsylvania's rights rulings were reviewed this week by Bernard V.

O'Hare, Northampton County district attorney, at a criminal law school in Easton. William Rybak, county solicitor and course instructor, reviewed the first two sessions of the 10 week course, which is sponsored by the Northampton County Magistrates and Constables Association. O'Hare outlined crimes classified as felonies or misdemeanors, and explained how a magistrate must determine into which category a crime should be placed.

BREASTS Moravian College's $10 million campus expansion program met unanimous approval of Bethlehem City Council last night. But barbs again were thrown at Lehigh University's move to expand its facilities. Steve Susski of 1st Terrace claimed he is one of the "forgotten people high on the hill" in maintaining Lehigh isn't living up to its promises, such as installing the "promised" footpath for residents there. Moments before, Moravian's program breezed through council's scrutiny. It received plaudits for maintaining properties it S.

Braden, operator of the Easton Airport, covered the type of flight that ended in the crash. Wzontek and the pilot, Robert J. Williams, 23, of 2029 Ferry Wilson, died when the plane crashed in a field about a mile east of the airport. Williams, a licensed pilot, had rented the craft from Braden's Flying Service.

He also criticized the upward trend in hospital insurance i rates.

He said: "Blue Cross tends to negate! good management because each (hospital) is paid on the basis of its costs. Something must be done if this system is not to go into bankruptcy."

Jesse D. Aronson, director of the division of local health services, N.J. State Department of Health, issued the warning at the 45th annual meeting of the Bucks County Tuberculosis and Health Society in Doylestown. Dr. Aronson contended health services are passing from voluntary community control to the elected representatives.

Fearful of the trend, he cautioned: "Unless we preserve the voluntary system we are surely in for a bad time" and "a real degeneration of health services."
