able TV: this fall, depending on where you live

Cable television will spread teadily through the more opulated areas of Bethlehem his fall, starting in September. ust when you get your own ookup dependes on two

things: how fast the franchised rews can string the 35 miles of runk cables and how close you lve to the tower now under onstruction off Elm Ave. "We're shooting for

September." says George Smede, manager of Bethlehem Video, Inc. "We hope to have the first customers on and start service by Sept. 5. That'sa tight schedule, but we hope to make it ...

Smede said the first customers to pipe in the new multi-channel spectrum will be those who live along Elm Ave. and Feura Bush Rd. on the outskirts of Delmar. Others will be able to hook in as the lines push toward Elsmere Ave. and then across Delmar. By the cold weather, depending on how fast the work progresses, most of Delmar, Elsmere, Glenmont and Slingerlands will be connected. Then the

rews will head for South Bethlehem and the southern and river areas of the town. Everything should be ompleted by mid-November, spokesman said. This week work crews are

installing "anchors" that hold the existing poles upright as part of the make-ready process. Anchor and make-ready are art of the new CATV

"We'll be installing anchors this week," said Smede. "Right now people are getting rights­of-way in yards for the anchors." Meanwhile the concrete for the tower base was' poured last Friday, and the 100-foot tower was due to be erected this week, possibly Monday or Tuesday. The tower, only 100 feet tall, will be back from the road and "should not be prominently visible from the road," according to Smede.

Bethlehem households will pay between $7 and $9 a month for approximately 10 additional channels. They include two independent TV

stations from New York City and one from Boston. two news channels, an OTB (off-track betting) channel, a public access channel for community productions, educational access and government access, channels, and the Home Box Office commercial channel.

Installation charges will run from $20 depending on the number of outlets needed to serve a family with diverse viewing tastes. Residential rates apply to each residential housing unit. whether single. duplex or apartment.

The Home Box Office entertainment "package" will co'st extra, probably around $8, a Bethlehem Video spokesman said, and will' be billed separately. The HBO offerings include new movies. stage and night club acts and live coverage of sports events.

A public hearing has been scheduled for Aug.' 10 in town

hall to accommodate two technicalities: the convertet deposit was omitted from the original franchise application,. and an armchair "remote" converter has since become available as an optional piece of equipment supplementing the standard converter. The additional cost probably will be about 75 cents a month, officials said.

POLICE

Burglars get jewels, guns

Sneak thieves who slipped through an improperly locked rear door in mid-afternoon escaped with jewelry, silvei­coins and four guns after ransacking a Selkirk residence last week. John Brauer, owner of the house, estimated his loss at $4,000.

Blessing to lose couple of kinks

Blessing Rd., the town's nearest approach to a corkscrew highway, will lose a bit of its character this month. Supervisor Harry H. Sheaffer told the town board last week town attorneys had completed an exchange. of land with Duane Amsler of Slingerlands that will permit straightening of a small section of the twisting road.

Bethlehem highway crews were sched uled to start the project this week. The work involved approximately 150

feet of new road across , section of the Amsler pro pert} by~passing a reverse turn Under the contract, Amsler wil be deeded the section of land 01

which the present road' i located. Amsler owns land 01

The work will eliminate a least two cranks of the steerini wheel for every passing vehicl in either direction.

NEW SCOTLAND

Crews repairing town highways

For homebound rush-hour traffic, Krumkill Rd. from North Bethlehem to Voorhees­ville is a favorite short cut that bypasses bumper-to-bumper traffic on the main roads. When the word gets around that it now sports a full coast of new blacktop, the traffic count may jump.

Town of New Scotland Highway Dept. crews last week completed the first segment of their 1977 road-rebuilding program, which included Krumkill Rd. between Font Grove Rd .. Slingerlands, and

the Bethlehem town line just west of Schoolhouse Rd. Also resurfaced are Smith Lane and 'Apple Blossom Lane in Voorheesville, and upper Font Grove Rd. from Krumkill to New Scotland Rd., Slinger-. lands. The three projects, represent a total of 4.0 miles of town highway.

Supt. Peter Van Zetten said the work involved gr'!,ding, filling and ditching as well as a complete new surface applied with a leased moto-paver. Still on the town's tentative schedule of resurfacing are Waldemiar Rd., Mathias Lane in Feura Bush, Slingerlands Ave. in Clarksville and the Olive St. loop near the Clarksville elementary school,

but Van Zetten said these projects. approximating two miles overall, would not be started before Sept. I, and even then "it all depends on how much is left in the budget at that time."

centered on three' points: that the budget had already been adopted with the money for a full time principal, that they had not been told of the decision until the last day of school, and that the quality of education at Clarksville would decline with a half-time principal. The question of the school being closed in the future also was brought up several times by the parents. The Clarksville school is the smallest of the district's five grade schools with a projected enrollment next year of 143.

FOOTNOTES TO HISTORY

Gravestones tell many a story of bygone days By Allison P. Bennetl Second of 2 Arlicles

A stroll through the old section of Elmwood Cemetery on Rt. 9W in Selkirk reminds us vividly of how perilous life was in the 19th century, especially for women of child­bearing age.

In this historic burial ground, the last resting place of many prominent Bethlehem citizens of a bygone era, many stones record deaths of wives from 21 to 35 years of age. One

stone records "Margaret, wife of Edward, buried with infant son. ,. These stones recall, too, the beauty of the old fashioned names: Bridget, Maria, Rebecca, Kezia, Lanah, Lucinda, Deborah, Hannah, Magdalene, Lorena, Charity, Angelica and others.

MODERN PHARMACY

Michael Krugman

The price of prescription drugs has dropped about 10 percent in the last decade ... There has been a cost saving to the consumer, even though the average price for each prescription filled at the drugstore has risen from $3.22 to $3.86 in the last 10 years ... The reason for this seeming contradiction, is that the number of drug doses in each prescription has risen by 27 percent-so that Americans are now buying drugs in larger quantities, and at higher overall costs, but are paying less than before on a uf1it basis ...

years. These little stones denote the graves of children, and we can only vaguely imagine the heartaches of parents so often repeated when we see the single small but elongated headstone bearing the names of "John, Johnny, Kitty, Harry and Mary," the five babies of Christian and Margaret Veeder. We pause, too, at three identical little stones to wonder what dreadful affliction snuffed out the lives of Eddie, Willie and Jennie, aged 2-4-6, all within an eight-week period. Many children's gones are topped with a carved lamb, but we found only one of these in Elmwood. One other unusual one was that of Arthur Riddle, about 1870-a naked child in

stones, and it reminds us all too vividly o(our own mortality.

All of the loving care that was tendered from those earliest trustees down to the present day is very apparent when you walk or drive through the cemetery. One is impressed by the manicured grounds and the general air of well-being that is bestowed here by the Smith family, who are the grounds keepers. The grass is carefully cut and trimmed and all planting of flowers and decorations is carefully controlled. Generous donors have given brass name plaques on the entrance gates, a lovely little fountain and chimes that can be activated for funerals. Memorial Day and other special services held within the grounds.

Attractive plantings and fences delineate the property, and lovely old trees add their own grace to this peaceful landscape. The board has been prudent in the use of funds and the cemetery is well endowed. •......... ~ • ANSWERING • • SERVICE • : BUSINESS & • • PROFESSIONAL : • Telephone Exchange • • 24 Hours a Day •

In view of rising land values in the area, the board has used foresight in purchasing 23.3 additional acres of the former Huested Myers property. which adjoins. and is incorporating this for future use. The cemetery land is open to anyone, who desires to become a purchaser, as the cemetery association is not connected with any church or organization, but is entirely governed by the trustees.

On visiting Elmwood Cemetery memories of other people and times is evoked. along with lessons of the past. The visitor goes through the gates renewed and re-endowed with an earnest purpose of devoting what is left of his own life to holier works in the future. Wandering among these memorials of love. we know that these supulchres shall remain after we are forgotten-these monuments shall remain as memorials of the past.

2 youths jailed on knife charges

Two New Jersey youths who caused a ruckus at McDonald's Sunday night and tried to fight off police officers have been detailed in Albany County jail for a hearing next week.

Bethlehem police booked George Rowland, 22 of River Edge, N.J., and David Oberman, 18, of Paramus, N.J., on charges of disorderly conduct. menacing and resisting arrest. They were arraigned before Justice Robert. Rice.

Police were called when one of the youths allegedly threatened patrons of the restaurant with a knife and used abusive language.

pulps and romanticists like to call "sco'ops," a word never heard in any city room. The: scenario is Albany's South End, where state investigators have been poking into alleged payoffs to police by what the late H.L. Mencken used to call "fancy ladies." Any self­respecting sleuth has a generic allergy to newspaper repor:ters, which means the newsmen can expect little but cryptic information from official sources; now that the case has gone to the grand jury, the newsman are strictly on their own.

The· Knick team has resurrected the age-old formula of basic digging for the facts, supplemented by the simple stratagem of getting off the .phone and going out into the street. They have been knocking on neighborhood doors, many of which have heen slammed in their faces,

No new father has been more proud of his youngsters than is Bob Fichenberg of his enterprising triumvirate. "This new breed of reporters can stand up to the previous generation any day," enthused the Knick's executive editor. "They've done a lot of old­fashioned plugging. A lot of this hasn't been productive, but it has to be done to dig up leads. Ninety percent of pounding on

doors and checking into hundreds of records is pure drudgery. "

It was just such basics that last week produced a Page One story reminiscent of the old days of competitive journalism. When a Bleeker St. house was identified as,a brothel, it was fundamental to find out who ,owned the house. When it turned out to be the City of Albany, the Knick had a winner. How did this information get into the paper? Simple: a reporter went to the

Whether a Memorial is large or small is not important. Even a simple Headstone shows that someone cared, but an unmarked grave is a forgotten grave.

mpasslon on 'he road

itor, The Spotlight: . By writing to the Spotlight I pc to reach several people to om I am deeply indebted. the evening of July 20 in the o rush hour traffic on the 'ngerlands bypass near nwood Ave., my car stalled the red light. Although I ned on my flashers I felt Teasing panic lest an ident be caused by my car

ing stopped on the hill. A man in a grey VW stopped

d kindly offered to help. She k my AAA number and

me and promised to call m for me. Shortly thereafter young man on a bicycle

stopped and helped me push the car off the road. Then another woman pulled up and asked if she could contact anyone for me on her CB radio. A police officer came and verified that the call had indeed been made to AAA and that they were on the way.

On a day when the heat was so extreme and at an hour when most people are anxious to be home I found this type of compassion very heartening. I sincerely hope the kindness of these people is returned to them many times over.

Delmar Jean A. Vlahos

Horns from behind

Editor, The Spotlight: Isn't there anything in Driver

Education about the proper use of an automobile horn? There should be, because a loud blast from behind a waiting vehicle can be startling, might conceivably even cause a nervous driver to release his clutch pedal, if he has one, or to get jumpy with the gas pedal if he has automatic drive.

We are all trying hard to learn to always turn right on red lights, after stopping, and to leave the right-hand lane free for those behind who may wish to do so. But driving tends to become a reflex after many years of obeying stop-lights and leaving the second lane free for faster traffic. Also, a driver going straight ahead through. an intersection might be planning a stop or a right turn immediately beyond a traffic signal. In that case. shouldn't he be in the right-hand lane? A horn . from behind seems impolite. to say the least, and that's what we're getting. Ask any householder who lives on a corner where there's a light.

One wonders what the horn­blowers do with the few seconds saved.
