ft j I'.5 ROUGHLY SPEAKING WEST ENDER .1 The word \taxpayer\ covers a multitude of facets of human nature. There is the indignant taxpayer, the hurt taxpayer, the righteous taxpayer, the profane taxpayer, the meek and long-suf fering taxpayer, the apathetic taxpayer, the cynical taxpayer, the , innocent taxpayer, the professional taxpayer and the non-taxpay taxpayer. We are all taxpay- , ~ V^nrs, but nobody is very proud of \ -ohe title. To some it has become , synonymous 'with \sucker\; for many others it has been ruined by those noisy, wretched tax payers who are perennially howling as if they had just been and left naked on Main The truth of the matter the imbecilities commit- he name of taxpayers by d spokesmen have per- a perfectly good and hon- _ _ word. In ito best sense, '^lETa description of the alert citi zen who keeps careful supervi sion over the spending of his money and is conscious of the use as well as the cost of his taxes, taxpayer is the most im portant word in the dictionary o^democracy; one might go so iW as to say that without taxes and taxpayers, human society would fall apart. These reflections are prompted by the name of the organization known as the West End Taxpay ers Association. A name like that tends to evoke a picture of a wild-eyed group of people stamping down to the Town Hall to>demand the abolition of the L, r^eation commission and a 20 |?-per*cent cut in the tax rate. Ac tually the West End Taxpayers are a forward-looking group who are laying plans for the civic development of their section of the Town. This week the Asso ciation's nominating committee named a slate of officers for the coming year which includes many of the leading citizens of tte West End. ^Nominated for president was Charles (\Chick\) Wertheimer, the squire of Shinglehouae Road. For vice-president, the commit tee chose Charles Tatham; for secretary, Mrs. Jack Diamond; for treasurer, J. J. McCarthy. The following were nominated to standing committees: Program committee—Harold S. Block, Lloyd Miller, Herbert Put- d|, Richard Reynolds and How ard Stocker. Finance Committee — Jack Fressie, Alexander Portegal and Henry Weller Sr. Membership Committee—Wil liam Boshes, John Canero, Rob ert L. Deems, Jack Diamond, Al bert Eufer, Herbert T. Henzel, Abe Orser and Howard R. Shute. Publicity Committee — Harry H^D'Brien and Leon Svirsky. T\he election of officers will take place at a meeting of the Association in the Millwood Fire- house Monday, April 16. The new Millwood playground WILLIAM D. CARLEBACH PHOTOGRAPHER Smith St. Chappaqua 1-0179 is coming along. It was given a substantial boost this week with a gift of 125 feet of 4 ft. high fence from Martin Huberth, a member of the Town Planning Commission. The Recreation Commission authorized expendi tures of $280 for 150 additional feet of fence and $450 for a backstop for the softball dia mond. Work on the field will be gin as soon as the Town High way Department has rolled it. * * * The Millwood Inn, better known as the Stone Jug, which closed several months ago, will be sold at a foreclosure auction this month. . . . Plans are being made for the formation of a Boy Scout troop in Millwood under the sponsorship of the Millwood Fire Company. . . . Councilman Bob Cubbins of the West End, whose term on the Town Board expires this year, has told his friends that he will definitely not be a candidate for reelection. WEST END DISTRICT COMPLETE Air Raid Warden Area XV, in the extreme west end of the Town of New Castle, also reports a full roster of district wardens, it was reported by J. J. Harrigan, chairman of the New Castle Civil Defense Air Raid Warden Service, this week. Area XV is under the leadership of Mrs. Julie Tatham of Glendale Road, who has, according to Mr. Harri gan, performed the difficult job of organizing her sparsely settled area very well. Of the three areas now boasting complete rosters two are in the West End, area XIV in Millwood, and Mrs. Tatham's area XV. Spring Summons Stvle - Conscious mf by Margaret Depperman The year's at the spring when milady's fancy happily turns to thoughts of clothes. So along with 'Good Humor men and robins, pussywillows and crocu* buds, fashion shows are bustin' out all over, heralding the ad vent of that sweet and joyous season. That's why on April 20 a select .bit of the fashion world will come to Westchester through the efforts of the Ladies' Asso ciation of the Mt. Kisco Country Club. Specifically a fashion show will be held featuring custom and semi-custom made Olga Frocks to be modeled at the clubhouse by local beauties who are members of the club. What woman can resist a fashion show? No one, hopes the Ladies' Association, which has invited all feminine club mem bers to come with their friends and sip a cup of tea in the best Rue de la Paix tradition while viewing the smartest in spring and summer styles. Olga Frocks feature classic designs so dear to the Westches ter woman's heart. Through in dividual measurements, figure variations are corrected, even to the extent of combining size 14 waist with size 16 skirt meas urements. Thus for a nominal extra charge, the customer ac quires a custom-made outfit, fashioned from her choice of the best materials, with excellent workmanship and superb detail ing, all for a startlingly reason able price. And she can be as sured that she will never meet herself coming or going, for ex act duplicates will not be sold. The fashion show promises to be two fashion shows in one. If those attending follow the pre cedent of past years, everyone will show up in her best 1951 bib 'n tucker. That seems to be the unwritten rule for fashion shows, especially in Westches ter, where it's so nice to have an elegant occasion calling for NEW CASTIJjgfeWS, FRIDAY, APKIK-(V 1951*• 3 something more than blue jeansKenneth Orser and Mrs. James and cardigans This year the admission is free.
