Oiirmici is most proud of backing legislation for the Pharmaceutical Assistance for the Aged program which helps senior citizens obtain medical preseeriptibns for a minimal fee. Afnder Chinnici’s work as a member of the Appropriations Committee the legislature increased its allocations for the program from $4 million serving 20,000 participants to $40 million serving 400,000.

Chinnici uid he has been instrumental in ensuring the continuance of the Matt Agricultural Experiment Station funds. Not only would important agricultural research programs have been halted, but the state 4-H program would have been wiped out, the assem-

blyman uid.

The assemblyman has a bo rescued other bills marked for extinction, he said. Among these salvaged are a $750,000 renal dialysis program and a homephiliac program, Chinnicisaid. ‘These are programs which people themselves cannot afford to finance on their own. Therefore, I feel that the program is very necessary, and I pressed for the reinstatement of funds id both of these programs," the assemblyman explained. Chinnici, Hurley and Senator James S. Caflero persuaded the state to change its mind several years ago on a possible closing of the obstetric department and maternity ward at Burdette-Tomiin

Hospital In Court House. Funcb were also made available to provide seed money for the oyster research laboratory, qualifying the department for $200,000 in federal funds. Bdnd money was aptrored for the correction at beach erosion problems and additional funds for the dredging of lagoons and inlets, Chinnici added. In answer to hte opponent’s criticism that he has a poor attendance record at legislative sessions, Chinnici uid he has attended 92.3 percent of assembly sessions and has net 60 out of 85 sessions of the Joint Appropriations Committee. The assemblyman uid he and Htrley have been ‘‘toying with the idea” of opening a legislative office in Cape May Court House long before his opponents made it a campaign issue. “We don’t leave Cape May County hanging high and dry. We do our thing for both Cumberland \nd Cape May County, Chinnici uid. I* he confident of reelection?

"If I had anything to uy about them (Livingston, Wilhelm) it’s that they have no experience. ‘‘If you want to get the job done, and done wen give it to a busy man," the assemblyman said. "We wish them luck, but not a little less luck than us."
