NEW CASTLE NEWS, FRIDAY; MARCH 23, 1951 •..3 Hi' 1 Listening Post •ai'^L William D. Carlebach t4-^.^ay, most controversial talk fi|oiiters around the alleged need i y '6f a \Parking District\. From »jvritten word, as well as spoken •U ;:prd, it is obvious that the Town lO ^rd would favor the creation ^$Fa Parking District to solve the i off-street parking problem in the I Chappaqua section of New CasUo. ; We are opposed to any such plan. ; We are opposed to any further 1 B:-jtricting of New Castle, whe- ,Th3r those Districts be Parking, [or Recreation, or Park. We say |tnis now because we hear con- t rumors that such Districcs •have to be created, is our opinion that one a e reasons the cost of govern ment is so high is that there are already far too many separate taxing districts, some of which overlap Town and Village lines. This is how we size it up. } No one came forward and in sisted on a \Commuter's Park what's good for one is good for all. We know that we would gee better government out of our Town fathers if they weren't scared to death of injuring the feelings (and their own vote- getting ability) of a section of New Castle's population. We know that the Town Board could have accomplished tne solution to the parsing problem with out all this fuss. We hopj they will stop playing one pare of the Town against the oth^r. We hope that public opinion will force them into good govern ment and away from sectional politics. Committee Meets On Hoover Report At a meeting held Thursday, March lo, at the Readers Digest on Bedford Road, under the chairmanship of Elmaar Bakken of Chappaqua Ridge, a program for the re-energizing of ths Citizen's Committee for the The plan of action for support of the Hoover Report on the local level, through local Citizens Committees, as worked out by this group, includes the activa tion of a correspondence com mittee set-up to encourage writ ing to congressmen and senators, a stepping-up of the activity of local Citizens Committees and the increased dissemination by these committees of Hoover Re port information through litera ture and speakers. A meeting of the steering com mittee of the Chappaqua branch oil the Citizens Committee was Wednesday evening, March 21 in tne office of the L.i_cn„t, jrrincipal at Horace Greeley scnooi. fore the procession of 200 Scouts and their leaders in uniform. The most colorful part of the ceremony was the Parade Of Foreign Flags in which the scouts of the 6th Grade Troop were dressed to represent Girl Scouts or Girl Guides of 33 foreign coun tries, each scout carrying the flag of the country she represented. This was followed by a dance given by the 5th Grade Troop. A color movie, \World Friend ship\ which was taken at an in ternational encampment at Cooperstown, N. Y., was shown. The Juliette Low ceremony followed. Two girls from each troop mounted the stage, one of them lighting her small \candle of friendship\ from a large can dle and placing it on the birth day cake. The second of the two girls put the money earned by the girls of her troop into a world globe as their contribution to the Juliette Low Fund of Interna tional Friendship. The Brownie Troops closed the ceremony by singing \taps\ in French, and the guests were served refresh ments by the 7th Grade Troop. 39th Birthday of Girl Scouts Feted Hoover report was hammered ing District\ when the need for out °y a group of northern West- itional parking facilities near Chester Citizens Committee lead- fWe Chappaqua railroad station er s for action this spring, became evident.

That about sums up our philo sophy of local government. If one part of our Town can show us that money should be spent in their area, then we think that all the residents of the Town should bewilling to go along. We « e to look on Mount Kisco, appaqua, Millwood, Stanwood and Kisco Park as friendly neighbors. We like to think that Grant Stone from Pleasantville.
