ACCOMPLISHME N T S —
In the quarter of a century
since its formation theassociation has grown to be one of
the most influential and respected groups of its kind on
the Niagara Frontier.
In addition to bringing
about the correction of objectionable conditions in its
own West Side neighborhood.
it also has actively participated in campaigns to bring
needed reforms throughout
the city and county.
Through efforts of these
dedicated men. cobblestones
of Baynes St. were replaced
with macadam. Then buses replaced the street cars. Traffic
signals were installed. Rees
St. Playground was created
and other community projects
were carried out.
HUMANITARIANS — Concerned over icebox suffocation deaths of children in
other localities, the association sponsored
legislation
which led to a city ordinance
which states doors must be
removed from abandoned refrigerators.
Each year at election time
the West Side organization
alerts law enforcement agencies to an ordinance which
prohibits political candidates
from attaching posters to city
property.
No project is too big for the
association. In 1954 It informed the Postmaster General that postal service was
being slowed by so called
"junk mail," advertising material addressed only to "Occupant." Three months later
junk mail was outlawed in an
order from Washington.
TO CELEBRATE — Documents outlining growth of the
former neighborhood improvement committee will be on
display beginning Tuesday in
a window of Stall's Drug Store
i t Grant and Bird.
The association is a member of Buffalo-Niagara Frontier Business Federation and
associates of the latter organization will attend a Silver
Anniversary Banquet Jan. 19
in McVan's Nite Club.
Fred R. Call Jr.. president,
is honorary chairman of the
25 - year celebration. He is
being assisted by Robinson,
now serving as secretary, and

Mayor Says

At Equality
'Spend-It-Air
Policy Claimed
Plan Effective
Immediately
Comptroller Chester Kowal was accused yesterday
of plumping for a "publicbe-damned, spend-it-all" fiscal policy. *
In a stinging denunciation of
the comptroller, Budget Director
Philip V. Baczkowski also pointed to what he termed "flagrant
inaccuracies" on the part of
Kowal in computing anticipated
income.
The salvo loosed by Baczkowski, a Democrat, was the
latest development in the hot
battle of w o r d s between
Kowal, a Republican, and the
city administration over fiscal
affairs.
It was touched off Friday
when Kowal charged the administration had padded the
1958-59 city budget by almost
$2-million and raised the tax
rate $2 more than was necessary.
Kowal based his charges on
figures indicating the city will
show a surplus at the end of the
current fiscal year June 30.
"Larceny" or Money-Saving?
"Mr. Kowal's position is astounding," declared Baczkowski.
i "He says in effect that the city
1 should cast aside thrift and
j efficient government in favor
of a public-be-damned, spend-itall policy."
Kowal accused the administration of "legal larceny," saying appropriations had been
overestimated and revenues underestimated in the budget.
"In other words, he says
that because we saved money
where possible, we committed
larceny," observed Baczkowski.

Pansy Blooms
In Patch of Ice
Pansies are blooming down
south—South Buffalo, that is.
Mrs. Theresa Quinn of 92
Midland St. yesterday found
a yellow pansy plant in blossom alongside her driveway,
where until the recent thaw,
there was 3 feet of snow.
"To tell you the truth, I
don't know whether the flower
was left over from last summer or has just come into
bloom." said Mrs. Quinn. "If
it is a new blossom, I have
one of the hardiest plants.
There's ice all around it."

The Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory . . . behind a brick facade, a world of tomorrow
. . . where dedicated men turn dreams to reality
Cornell Lab Is World of Tomorrow
Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, 4455 Genesee St.,
Cheektowaga, is engaged in
hundreds of projects that will
affect all civilization in the
next decade. This w the first
in a series of articles on work
being done at the laboratory.
By DON BARRY
WHERE TODAY IS OBSOLETE — When you walk
through the door of Cornell
Aeronautical Laboratory Inc.
in Cheektowaga. you enter the
world of tomorrow.
There, yesterday lives only
in the knowledge it has imparted, and today already is
obsolete.
Inside, man is flying through
space, push-button wars are
being fought, machines are
outwitting human beings, and
the problems of future civilization are being solved.
These things are being done
on paper, by experiment, in
the dreams of far-sighted
scientists, in gian»t mathematical equations worked out on
complex electronic "brains."
But tomorrow—which may be
1960, 1970 or 1980—they will
be done in reality.
UNIQUE — The laboratory
at 4455 Genesee St., often referred to as simply CAL, is a
unique one in many ways.

of CAL's work is devoted to
military technology problems,
under contract with the armed
services. But a program of internal (non-contract> research
is maintained at the lab's own
expense to nurture the embryo ideas of staff members.
Often these internal programs eventually warrant outside support by contract.
Dr. Furnas, who «till is on
CAL's board of directors, was
head of the laboratory until
1954 when he became chancellor of the University of
B u f f a l o . He subsequently
served a year as assistant
secretary of defense while
on leave of absence from UB.
As an autonomous and self
supporting part of QWrnell
University, it has the scientific advantage of divorce
from the self-interests of any
particular industry. This it
can look at all problems w i t h
a high degree of objectivity.
Yet the lab is an important
link between fundamental research, which is the traditional pursuit of universities,
and production, which is the
domain of industry.
APPLIED RESEARCH —
Specializing in "applied research," CAL takes basic
knowledge by the arm and
leads it through a mate of
research and development to
the gates of the factory,^
A certain amount of basic
research is undertaken, however, to strengthen the laboratory's capacity for applied research. And early stage development often is carried out
to prove a product is feasible
before it is turned over to
industry.

Mayor.
He acknowledged that the redistricting law* were controversial but said he based his
decision on what he behe\ed

The redistricting realigns
boundaries of all but one of
the city's 27 wards and all
nine councilmanic districts.
The plan represents the most
sweeping reapportionment of
political subdivisions in Bufpolitical subdivisions In Buffalo aince the city charter was
adopted in 1927.
Both the Republican and Liberal parties have banded the redistricting a "gerrymander "
