The tract as envisioned toy the Recreation Commission would combine recreation and park, or village green, features both for the leisure time activities of Chappaqua and its beautifica- tion. The immediate improve ments listed by the Commission include a baseball field with grandstand, a hard top play area with benches, playground equipment, and necessary com fort facilities. The Commission's project in the working stage, the Millwood playground, was reported by chairman Howard Stocker as be ing under intensive regrading, with money in hand to further certain limited plans. John Can- ero has been grading and filling the field this week, and extend ing its plot area by some 50 linear feet, an addition which will permit the lay-out of an adequate baseball field. Also to be prepared is a toboggan run. The Commission will purchase, out of funds allotted it in this years budget, playground equip ment as well as the fencing and back stop ordered in April but not yet delivered. The field will be seeded and is expected to be in shape for hard usage next summer when it will probably be the scene of adult softball lea gue activities. The Commission agreed to sponsor and provide supervisioij for the girls hockey activities' being conducted every Saturday morning,'-until the middle of No vember, at the Horace Greeley hockey -field. Under Commission member Henry Plate both senior and junior rifle clubs are to be developed, and a camera club will be formed. PLEASE Despite careful husbanding over the past two years, funds for the operation of the Chap paqua Dads entertainment- for-the-kids program' will be inadequate for the present school session, and the Dads have announced a drive for funds under the chairmanship of Edward A. Harvey of Lud low Drive. In a letter which has reached or will reach Chappaqua neighbors this week, Mr. Har vey explains that the annual dues paid by the Dads are in sufficient to finance the cost of refreshments, movie rentals and special fees contingent on the annual list of Open House events, this year planned to number 40. The Dads are ask ing for neighborly assistance in continuing the program.
