The Construction Committee. ------------------------------ _ of the P.T.A. of P.S. 21,wanted the board to start work on the addition now, instead of waiting for the 1965-70 season. Wisner Gets TA Post Ten Years Behind the demand lay ten years of disadvantages endured by residents of the upper Bedford- Stuyvesant area as s result of over-crowding and part-time ed­ ucation. Half-day schooling started in 1953 when elementary school chil­ dren of the Brevoort Housing Project, Fulton St. and Ralph Ave, were xoned Into P.S. 28, P.S. 70 and P.S. 35. From that time until now, hundreds of children have loat 2 hours of school daily. “Undpr these conditions," Oliver A. Ramsay told the board members, "Our children cannot possibly get the education to which they are entitled. Part-time sessions also create instability within the child in relation to his total environment, official stated. The mothers* problems and tensions, the committee spokes­ man pointed out, are increased by the added burdens of preparing meals at odd hours to fit children’s schedules; of taking them to school and bringing them back at different times. . Working Mothers Far working mothers “the orderly management of family life is practically impossible.” But the children bear the brunt of it all. as the number of drop­ outs shows. Roscoe W. Wisner, formerly a Personnel Examiner with the Philadelphia Personnel Depart­ ment, began work with the Port of New York Authority on Mon­ day, July 29. as a Senior Test­ ing and Research Specialist.

Also, he is a Mason and a mem­ ber of the Alpha Phi Alpha Frat­ ernity. Mr. Wisner, his wife, Louise, and their two children Jacqueline and Valerie live at 92-35 176th Street, Jamaica, N.Y. Figurits The committee blamed the “Board of Education's poor planning and lack of foresight” for the fact that several schools became overcrowded the first year after their completion. The parents used Board of Education figures to show that as of Oct. 1962 there were 12. 696 elementary school children and only 9,555 seats in that part of Bedford Stuyvesant. The pro­ portion remains. But current school planning would only alleviate the con­ ditions of overcrowding and part- time sessions if the projects for 1965-70 are completed. The parents called such planning” in­ adequate and too far in the future Question A watch gains half-minute dur­ ing the daylight hours, and loses one-third minute during the night.
