ERMA - For the second time in the past two months the Lower Cppe May Regional Board of Education has opted to create new personnel positions as a means of trying to alleviate alleged disciplinary problems at the Regional High School.

Earlier in the month a new secretary was hired to work in the ac-

ting assistant (^ndpal's office. P, ACCORDING'^ TO superintendent Ephraim Keller, the supervisory aide will be hired for 190 days at a pro-rated salary of $4,750. Responsibilities will include monitoring school hallways throughout the day, supervising stu<*nt lavatories, assisting in cafeteria supervision and aiding in the blis loading area at the end of the school day. % Board member Robert Matthews argued that the aide is needed to beef up

administrative enforcement of existing attendance and school parking regulations. • THE SITUATION’S getting better," Mr. Matthews said, but noted there is still a problem with students cutting classes and leaving the school before the end of the school day. He added that the problem is apt to increase with the arrival of spring. High school principal Alan Beattie supported the idea if hiring an additional aide, at least until the end of the school year. He explained that the reassignment of existing personnel to monitor the school parking areas has left a lack of supervisory aides within the building. "WE HAVE LESS help in the building this year than in the past three or four years because of the loss of CETA aides," Mr. Beattie said. He hastened to add, however, that even with an additional aide it cannot be expected that all of the problems that arise can be solved 100 percent of the time. But not all board members and ad-

ministrators are convinced that hiring a new aide is the best way to solve attendance and discipline problems. Both Arthur Craig and Stephen Todd voted against the proposal and Mr. Keller tofd the newspaper recently he op- , posed the creation of both the aide and secretary positions because neither were budgeted for in the current budget. •T BELIEVE something in the school system is not working," Mr. Todd said. "I don’t think we need more aides. We need a better system.” In other business, the board approved the appointment of Alice Stenlake as vocal music teacher at the high school. She will receive a salary of $13,734. ALSO AT THE high school, two athletic coaches have been appointed. William Shilling was named assistant baseball coach at $720, and Donald Embs will head the golf team at a salary of $870. At the Richard M. Teitelman School, Eleanor Streaker has been appointed an aide. She will receive a salary of $6,800.

Services Face Cut

TRENTON — Proposed cuts in federal spending for health services could mean the loss of $27,245 for programs in Cape May County? according to Dr. Joanne Finley, state Commissioner of Health. Dr. Finley recently told the state Joint Appropriation Committee that under the Reagan proposal to reduce health care grants for fiscal 1982 and to rescind immediately anticipated funds for this year, state and local programs for maternal and child health, drug and alcohol treatment, infant nutrition, and family planning would be jeopardized. SHE PREDICTED that a decrease in services for persons suffering from addiction could mean as.

much as a 75 percent increase in drug-related. crime, citing a recent Temple University study which correlated drug treatment with the incidence of certain crimes. Hardest hit by the cutbacks will be the urban counties, with Camden losing $706,770; Essex, $2.7 million; Hudson, $1.5 million; and Passaic $1.06 million. "'Hiere are many other possible decimations of health programs about which we do not yet clearly know," Dr. Finley said, "but it is certain that every single county in the state will be hit with some health service loss if the proposed federal budget survives without some softening."
