GARCZYNSKI MAKES GOL COURSE PLEA Proposes Springfield Sell Rifle Range to Oxford Country Club CHICOPEE Mayoral Can didate Joseph Garczynski Jr today proposed the city of Springfield sell its portion of the rifle range in this com munity to rt'e Oxford Country Club to allow the expansion of the nine hole course into 18 holes Mr Garczynski stated that both Mayor Thomas of Springfield and country club of ficials have expressed a keen interest in such a proposal In a prepared statement he pointed out that while the growth of industry and home building levels are of interest to him the present administration has failed to provide proper recrea tional facilities The rifle range sale he added would also bring in additional revenue to the treasury Mr statement is as follows: "The Springfield owned prop erty located in Chicopee that is commonly known as the rifle range has been the subject of much discussion recently be tween officials of both communi ties This area consisting of some 52 acres in Chicopee aTs and 20 acres in Springfield is located in such a section that it can be utilized for the greater benefit of many of our own city and also our neighboring com munities propose that the city of Springfield negotiate for the sale of this land to the Oxford Country Club for the purpose of expanding the present nine hole golf course to a full 18 hole golf course "I have been in contact with the officials of the country club and with Mayor O'Connor of Springfield and both have in dicated a real interest in this proposal "The growth of our city on the industrial and home build ing levels has always been of interest to me However it is of vital importance to have prop er recreational facilities and pro grams to balance the growth of a community with the two levels mentioned here It is my feeling that the present administration has failed to do this and failed miserably at that city would receive ad ditional property tax from this proposal in addition to greater funds from the fantastic water increase But more important the residents would have a dream fulfilled That of an 18 hole golf course Such com plete courses in neighboring cities will be by an industrial park and construction of Route 91 This will place Chicopee in 'an enviable position in this respect "President Kennedy has stressed the importance of physi cal fitness for our citi zens Here we have a golden opportunity to provide a facility for recreation for people of all ages eight to 88 years of age a person can and would benefit from such an 18 hole course This can be attested to by the presence of one of Chic outstanding citizens and golf enthusiasts Ned Bemis in golfing circles recently Mp Bemis celebrated his 88th birth day recently "This proposal is of great im portance to the city its golfers and to the recreational facilities and I urge immediate action on this much needed fa HOME ROM HOSPITAL CHICOPEE Miss Louise Gas chnig of 11 Wilson Ave who has been confined to Wesson
