CASTLE Firehouse Site To Be Decided By Voters Present Location Inadequate; King St.-Bedford Road Cor ner Proposed By Commis sioners. KroS HAVE FUN AT MILLWOOD DANCE There will be a special election of qualified voters of Fire Dis trict No. 1 of the Town of New Castle on Monday, February 18, 1946 between the hours of 7:00 o'clock P.M. and 10:00 o'clock P.M., for the purpose of deciding upon the purchase of a piece of property for a future fire house. The property in question is at the North East corner of King Street and Bedford Road. The Board of Fire Commission ers feel that the time has come to prepare for the future, when it will be necessary to erect a buiding to house the equipment of the J. I. D. Bristol Engine Company. At the present time the fire house building is rented from the Odd Fellows and, al though it has sufficed in the past, has not been all that could be desired from the standpoint of accessibility. Due to heavy road traffic, lim ited space for maneuvering the equipment and lack of any park- ing facilities, the avoidance of (Continued on Page 3) DUDLEY L.

Millwood Dance Series Clicks Waldman Hits At Case Bill Youngsters Elect Officers; Plan Next Event Sat., Feb. 23. Warns Audience It Is Not Road To Industrial Peace Johannes Steel Campaigns For Congress Seat New Castle News Columnist Endorsed by Wallace, Lib eral Groups; Election on February 19. At the Millwood Fire House, Saturday night, February 9, a turnout of the Millwood young people and their friends from nearby towns was an overwhelm ing success. 72 young people at tended the dance, as well as two surprise visitors, Mr. Douglas G. Grafrlin, Principal of the Horace Greeley High School, and Mr. George E. Baldwin, Dean of Stu dents at the same school. Mr. Grafrlin commented: \This is a nice turnout and your dance ar rangements are fine.\ Mr. Bald win was quick to second Mr. Grafflin's remarks. Something new was added—a conga line, led by Audrey Slader and participated in by just about everyone. Bud Appleton of Cro- ton High School came with the Milano brothers, as well as sev eral more of his friends and helped greatly in keeping the girls supplied with partners. The Briarcliff basketball team was also represented. It is hoped that, at the next dance which is planned for Saturday evening, February 23 at the Millwood Fire House, the boys from Croton, Pleasantville, Thornwood, Ossin- ing, Mt. Kisco and Chappaqua, will bring their dates with them. Believe it or not, at this dance In describing his \Roads to Industrial Peace\ Louis Wald man addressing last Friday's meeting sponsored by the Re publican Club in Greeley audi torium, pointed to the passing by the House of the Case Labor Bill as an example of what should not be done. The Republicans, inconsistent with former preach ments, according to the speaker, combined with obscurantist Southern Democrats to pass a law that would deprive Ameri cans of their right not to work. This law, if unfortunately en acted in its-present form, would according to Waldman take a- way States rights, impair indi vidual freedom, promote inevit able violation of law, lead to acts of violence. It would set the clock back by nullifying the Johannes Steel, radio com mentator, author and political analyst (his column appears in the New Castle News and many other newspapers) is running for Congress as an American Labor Party candidate in the 19th Dis trict special election on February 19th, to fill the vacancy caused by Samuel L. Dickstein resigning his Congressional seat to become a Supreme Court judge. Steel is campaigning vigorous ly and his chances of winning are said to be excellent. If, and when, he is elected he plans to put up a fight against the Bil bos and Rankins in Congress. He says \It's a question of get ting the floor and fighting the things you are against and fight ing for the things you want . . . The time has come for a new The arguments used by the op position stressed lack of desire of the people of this area to have the UNO here. They con centrated on this point both at the morning and night meet ings, reading telegrams and newspaper accounts of protests. The issue was far from set tled by the vote, and those against the designated area planned lively opposition wnen the matter reaches the floor of the General Assembly this week. If the Assembly upholds the committee, a planning commis sion will be appointed to visit the recommended area and base estimates on sites of two, five, ten, twenty and forty square miles. It will also report to the September Assembly what posi tion the Federal State and Coun ty authorities would be willing to take regarding control of territory adjacent to the UNO zone.

Dollar Says Sokolsky Viewing with alarm the shrink ing in value of the American dollar, George Sokolsky, colum nist of the New York Sun, ad dressed his fellow Republicans last Friday night in Greeley School, dedicating the party un alterably to the capitalistic sys tem and subscribing it to a pur blind faith in the American dol lar. \We have a country,\ Sokolsky claimed, \built on the produc tivity of the American dollar which by re-investment creates the largest measure of wealth, and the highest standard of liv ing\. This fiscal keystone of all our progress is shrinking in value and presumably all other aspects of life diminish in value with it. In this vein, the speaker ad mitted there had been a strike of capital in the last quarter of 1945 but defended it as perfectly sound, \because one shouldn't work for nothing.\ After dismissing all of the period since 1932 as one of \gov ernmental improvisation\ he pointed with pride to the con trasting Republican tradition. Leaning heavily toward the eco nomic doctrine of laissez faire, he stated, \A government must not govern too rigidly.\ Above all it must not deprive people of the means of accumulating (Continued on Page 13)
