The Planning Board had ruled that the question was out of its jurisdiction as the road was not a mapped one.. The action resulted from a plea by a property owner that he be permitted to improve that section of the road adjoining his proper ty with the understanding 1 that the road be given some kind of status. Richard Barns, town assessor, told the board that the road is neither a state, county or town load, but has been an easement road open to public way. No deeds to the bed of the* road and no 'formal dedication has ever been recorded. Placed On Map Mr. Barns suggested that the board rti'le that the road be plac ed on the official map and indi cated, as a traveled road. It thus should Be indicated as open to j the public*;'.with maintenance sub ject to whatever the board subse quently t rules. The\J>oard unanimously agreed to so mark the road and referred the action*\ back to the Planning Board that the latter might recon sider its original- action. Salle of.

Digest To Hire New Employes For Advertising The decision of the Reader's Digest to carry advertising in its domestic edition will mean addi tional job openings shortly at the magazine's Chappaqua headquar ters. Up to now the magazine has subsisted handsomely on strictly circulation revenues. The first is sue to carry paid advertising is planned for April. Harry G. Wilcox, office man ager, said Tuesday that it had hot been determined yet how many new employes will have to be hired. He said, however, that- ad ditional employes would be need ed to staff the advertising depart ment and also to handle circula tion data. ( The decision to carry advertis ing means that the Digest will have to keep circulation figures for the Audit Bureau of'Circula tion, which supplies these figures to advertisers. In announcing the decision to carry advertising in the domestic edition — foreign editions/already carry advertising — Mr. and Mrs. De Witt Wallace, co-owners and*, editors of the magazine, said: \Although the Digest's circula tion is the largest in history ^ over 10 million copies in the United States alcne — costs have now reached a point where a de ficit in the magazine's operation, is faced unless new revenue is' found'.\ Early Christmas Mailing Urged By Chappaqua Postal Officials Christmas is a happy time but pity the poor'^naijnian. Chappaqua's 'postmaster James Harrigan and bis assistant James D Curcio are hoping everyone will do just that. A special plea for early and ac curate Christmastime mailing was issued by the officials this week in accordance with a similar 'ap peal by the\ Post Office Depart ment in Washington. Greeting Cards Mailing for distant states should be in by December 11. Local greet ing card mailings'slii^ld be in the post-office not^ter than Decem ber 14 to assure 1 devllery — ber 14 to assure delivery before Christmas Day. Gummed labels marked \Local\ and \Out if Town'' may be ob tained at the post office for use by the patrons on the separate bundles of each type mailings. •Lo cal mailings may be tied in one bundle and labeled, and out of town mailings also separate. These bundles then may. be deposited at' designated windows where In turn it will not be -necessary to break them - open for ultimate routing. • \i •' 'Parcels may be stamped by the, patrons with \Do ^ not opetv. until Christmas\' labels] . r' V .

Is it because they want the joy of children but not the responsibility? As an addenda to his statement, Chief Romaine offers a suggest ion to be included either in the code of ethics or as something that might be practiced in the home. . , Proposes Plan His suggestion is that a grading system be adopted by consent of both the child and the parents whereby the child will start off with an average grade of '80 as the 'criterion of a good citizen. Subsequent actions, wrong or right, will affect the level upward or downward. If the grade is lowered below 70 subsequent disciplinary measures, agreed to beforehand as part of the pact, will be imposed. Up-grading from the 80 level could be 'rewarded by agreement also.. The program Is based on the as sumption that every child is it \good citizen,\ to begin with. Urging that'teaching of the Commandments or the Golden Rule is imperative, Chief Romaine states, \it is the duty and re sponsibility of .the parents to teach\ with • the' help of church and school. It must be a combina tion of these three if it is to be' a success. _ '.'There is no fundamental dif- ' ference between the children of 1 to day and our own time. It probably would be .found out that -children '• are better citizens. The acts /of' today's children may be t different, but 'only because of the times. What child of the past did,not hke,*/ to explore an abandoned or empty-' house, 'or remove some gate.\ of/ sign? Were there no street ligh(s' or* windows ..broken in our day? 1 Did not we .always exaggerate an experience to prove ourselves big- - shots? \These acts,today are as wrong as they were then, that is trtie.',.
