Power shovels started exca- vations last week and are now digging into the soil where the pool proper will be located. Yesterday the final footings for the bath house were completed. The brook in the area has al- ready been relocated. The progress report, as can be seen, was good. The Municipal Pool Commis- sion, meanwhile, met on Tues- day night and accomplished, among other things: Approved a set of by laws . .. Discussed rules and reg- what-where ...

Deadline: Monday at 4:30 p.m, 18th Year, No. 38 (893) Thursday, June 16, 1966 PRICE 10 CENTS George Buletza Resigns As Junior High Principal George Buletza, principal of Maywood Junior High School Since 1957, submitted a letter of resignation on Monday night to the Maywood board of edu- cation. Mr. Buletza, a resident of Radburn, has been on sab- batical leave since January, during which time he has been attending Columbia University, working towards his doctorate in education. Our Town has learned that Mr. Buletza, who expects to complete his doctorate this summer, has accepted an ad- ministrative position on a uni- versity level for this fall, In accepting Mr. Buletza's resignation, the board appoint- ed Frank Paparozzi, former science teacher who has been serving as acting assistant principal at the junior high school, as the acting principal for Maywood Junior High School for the year 1966-67 at a Salary of $10,692. Meanwhile, Patrick Ferro, principal of Maywood Avenue Elementary School who had also been serving as acting principal of the junior high school in Mr. Buletza's absence, will return to his elementary principalship for the next school year. Mr. Ferro, and Harold France, principal of Memorial School, both were awarded new one year contracts at $12,500 per year. This suggested increase in the budget for the two elemen- tary school principals, and a $750 increase for Thomas May- hew, superintendent of schools, brought discussion at Monday night's meeting and "No" votes from two of the trustees, James Smith and James Stevenson. In regard to Mr. France and Mr. Ferro, trustees Smith and Stevenson stated that the in- crease was not in the budget and they could not see increases given four months after the budget was passed. Trustee Rudolph Knakal responded that Mr. France's recent doctorate Plan Amending Of Amendment To Zoning Code An informal public hearing on the proposed amended Zon- ing Ordinance for Maywood, held on Tuesday evening, brought some stimulated dis- cussions and changes which will be written into the ordi- nance prior to its final passage scheduled for Tuesday (June 21) by the Mayor and Council. In response to queries and observations from the _ audi- ence, including several from Myron Green, chairman of the zoning board, it was decided to rework several sections. Intent is to eliminate conflict involv- ing certificates of occupancies, to clarify parking requirements for professional uses, and to 'make other minor corrections. The lengthy statute comes up for final hearing at the begin- ning of this Tuesday's meeting of the Mayor and Council. Our Town's NEW PHONE is 843-5700 made him a more valuable ad- ministrator and James Alberse commented that the raises were less than those awarded to the teachers. In regard to Mr. Mayhew's increase from $16,000 to $16,750, Smith thought it out of order to increase the superintendent's Salary before one year had passed in a firm two-year con- tract. He felt that a precedent would be started and he asked, "When is a contract not a con- tract?" He thought the move ill-advised and that no one could now say that another raise won't be suggested with- in the next six months. Alberse responded, "Every- one else received raises, I should like to feel free at any- time to give a raise for an out- Standing job." All other trustees voted for the new Salary figures, Queen of Peace School Principal Leaving Soon for New Assignment Sister Clare Mary Testa, M.P.F., Sister Superior in charge of the convent and principal of Our Lady Queen of Peace Church School, has been reassigned and will be leaving Maywood in early August, probably to serve in the Diocese of Camden. Sister Clare first served in Maywood in 1951-53, when Our Lady Queen of Peace School was put into operation. She re- turned as Sister Superior in 1961 after having served in Jersey City, Brooklyn, NY, and Hammondton. On Monday night, she was given a surprise tribute by the Mothers Guild and children from the school. On Sunday, Sister Clare was among a class of 2587 gradu- ating from St. John's Univer- sity, NYC, receiving a Degree of Master in Library Science from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. No More Balloons There were no additional re- ports this week from balloons sent up three weeks ago in Our Town's Space Shoot.

Marines On Pleasant Avenue The 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing Band of the Marine Corps, flown from Cherry Point, North Carolina, to march with May- wood's fire contingent in the 53rd annual parade of the New Jersey and New York Volunteer Firemens Association in Lynd- hurst on Saturday, tipped its hat to Maywood on its return to this community by giving an unscheduled exhibition on West Pleasant Avenue. The parade route went by Our Town's office and Our Town's camera recorded the snappy unit as it crossed the Bergen Avenue intersection. The band members were served refreshments in Maywood and then escorted to Newark Airport for a return flight to the Marine Corps Air Station. (Photo by OT/ML)
