Henry C. Plate, chairman of the Scout paper sal vage committee, announced the date yesterday. ' ijpVe're announcing the diaite three weeks ahead of time so that everyone can be saving pa- par for us,\ he said. \Our first collection on Columbus Day sal vaged half a freight-car load and netted our Scouts $230 after ex penses. And this time we're out to more than double that.\ Earn ings from the collection will fi nance the activities of Chappa qua Trcop I and II so that no fui^I-raising drives need be made. The. paper .should be tied in bundles and put out along the curb or road early on the day of the drive. Mr. Plate said: \Save the books and magazines for us too. Their weiiht counts up fa:t. And pack the sera; paper out of wastebaskets into cardboard oar- tons. You'll be helping the Scouts and helping the country. Paper supplies are tightening up.\ According to Mr. Plate if any one off the usual route will phone him at Chaippaqua 1-0607, or phone Arthur Fyfe at Chappaqua 1-0359, a station wagon or jeep will be sent to pick up the bun dled paper. \Both these committees went to work with enthusiasm and deter mination,\ reports the rector, the Rev. Howard D. Perkins. \By March the fund total had reached $21,500 and our Vestry was able to instruct the build ing committee to have detailed plans'- drawn and specifications sent out for firm bids.

Mrs. Deyo said: \The League's budget is small but our dues are also small; therefore we must appeal to the public for the ad ditional $350 necessary to carry out our commitments. The drive starts November 10 and will run. for one week. Every householder in the community will be con tacted by mail or by a League member, and will be asked lor a small contribution.\ Speaking of some of the re cent service projects! of the Lea gue, Mrs. Deyo listed the follow ing: distribution of 1200 non partisan voter's guides; a can didates' meeting for the presen tation of both candidates for the office of Justice of the Peace in New Castle, the only local con test for office this year; and an (Continued on Page 2) The first, and model house, furnished, landscaped, equipped, and decorated by Bloomingdale's interior decoration department went on display last week i n the Stephen M.

It is on a full acre lot and is de signed to sell for about $21,500. The entire development projec ted by Mr. Ruden will consist of about 70 houses and will repre sent about a million and a half dollars of finished construction. (Continued on Page 15) Town Club Endorses Pay Rise, New Car For Police In a letter to Supervisor Robert B. Stewart the Board of Gover nors of the Tcwn Club of New Castle strongly endorsed inclusion in the preliminary budget of the proposed increase in the Police Department Budget it was learned yesterday through Richard Bleier, president of the Town Club. This increase, as proposed in the budget from the Police Department .submitted to th Town Board, amounts to $. l , 5\ 84.33 /^i • 9 o - I over tne 1950 budget — the 19b£ Lrrier S Statement | estimate being $74,994.39 as com pared with $b'0,110 for 1950. a.ne three major items, which make up almoso all of this an ticipated increase, are salaries CI >3, C 0 J increase); COSD OI living Donus ($b,45u increase), ana equipmenc (3839,39 increase). In endorsing tnese increases the Police and i 'ire Committee of the i'own Cluo presented the follow ing reasons for their approval. rhe $3«0J increase in salaries would provide for one additional patrolman to the existing force of 13. One adaitionai patrolman would permit a planned vacation scneauie tor all memoeis of tne police torce — a total of 39 weeks oi vacation without affecting the operating efficiency of the iorce. It would also reduce the operational proDiems incurred with the absence irom duty of a member ot the iorce due to ill ness or other unavoidable reas ons. And since there is at present no overtime pay or provision tor giving time off for overtime, an additional patrolman would help in this respect. Finally, there are otner activities that the police department could undertake, such as the dog census (now \farmed out\) traffic studies and other problems relating to the policing oi our Township. The $64oU increase for a cost of living bonus is based on a mini mum $400 bonus ior each mem ber of the force. The cost of liv ing has risen substantially and the prospects are for a contin- i Continued on Page 15) Will A. Grier, Democratic can didate for Justice of the Peace in New Castle, who lost in Tues day's ejection to Hogarth S. .Sweet, Republican, made the fol lowing statement on the election to the News Wednesday. \It may come as something of a surprise to you that I am happy with the results of the election, not that I like to lose and I did fight to win, but because my cam paign did win — a place for an opposition party in New Castle. Ihe campaign proved to my sat isfaction that there is a body of voters in the Town numerous enough to deserve the right to be heard politically, and it is my pledge to them that they will, from this day on, cor.tinue to have opportunity to speak their piece at the voting machine. Against the background of a bit ter State election, i t was perhaps net the cleverest time nor office to begin a campaign against the entrenched interests here, tut one has to begin somewhere sometime, if we can show the people of New Castle that we mean business, that we me'an to stay in the business of opposing those interests, we shall very soon gather the strength to upset the notion that there is no opposition to the local Stewart machine be cause it has beenable to keep opposition off the voting lines.\ Library Will Show Year's New Books About 403 new books, pur chased by the Chappaqua Library during the past year will go on exhibit at the Library during National Book Week, November 13 to 18, the Library announced this week.

Freedom Crusade Is Supported Here The Freedom Bell, or at least a handsome facsimile thereof, came to Chappaqua Saturday, November 4, and attracted up wards of 200 signers for the Free dom Scroll, the American an swer of the big truth to the Russian big lie, with all signers contributing to the fund to sup port Radio Free Europe by which the truths of American democ racy are broadcast to countries behind the Iron Curtain. Pour ing rain held the list of Chap paqua signers below the hoped- for total, according to Erik Nicol- aysen, chairman or the special events committee of the Chappa qua Chamber of Commerce, which sponsored the Freedom Bell, but the turnout was not one to be ashamed of. Pleasant- ville, the day before, had turned in about 600 signatures. The Freedom Bell replica which stood, mounted on a truck, in front of Goetz's stationery store on Greeley Avenue from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. Saturday, is exactly half the size of the Bell (Continued on Page 13)
