KRESSY BEDFORD HILLS— Faced with a reduced budget for 1963, members of the Bedford Hills Free Library Board of Trus tees met last week to consider ways to maintain the library's high standards and still remain within the limits of next year's budget. At a meeting of the Bedford Town Board, the library's re quested figure was trimmed from $15,166 to $14,250. \The unfortun ate thing is,\ Mrs. Frank J. Web ster, chairman of the board, said yesterday,\ the budget figure pre sented to the Town Board had no built-in cushion and represent ed the absolute minimum.\ To cope with the budget re duction, the board intends to dis continue the library's Saturday hoars beginning the first of the year. In the past the library has opened its doors from 10 a.m. to noon every Saturday. May Cut Book Buying \In addition,\ Mrs. Webster continued, \we might be forced to cut down on our book buying program which we do not want to do.\ Mrs. Webster went on to note that the library requested and re ceived $14,124 in 1962, but will only receive $14,250 next year to finance and support its mush rooming growth. The reduced budget figure for 1963 indicates only a $126 increase over the 1962 budget, Mrs. Webster ex plained. C. William Hartge, chairman of the Friends of the Bedford Hills Free Library, when asked about the budget problem said yester day, \We are not generally con cerned with the overall financial structure of the library, however, we certainly pledge our support to maintaining the library's stan dards if and when the necessity arisps.\ Friends Raise Funds The Friends organization was formed in March of 1961 and boasts of a present membership of about 60 members. Since its i inception it has sponsored a fund- raising campaign each year and made possible addition of added facilities to the library. Begun in 1915 through the ef forts of Miss Eliza C. Gourlie and housed in what is now the Bedford Hills Paint and Hardware Store on Adams Street, the li brary was financed entirely by private donations. Shortly after World War I, when the Bedford Hills Community House was erected as a memor ial to war dead, the library was moved to the new structure and received its support by applying to School District 7 for taxation funds. In 1947, the new librarian Mrs. Charles Hyatt recognized the ra pid growth of the Library and be gan to press for better facilities. In 1952 the Clark homestead on Main Street, Bedford Hills, was purchased as a new home for the library. Today funds fpr support of the library are obtained by applica tion to the Town Board of Bed ford. Present Staff The library is now under the supervision of Mrs. Hyatt, dir ector; Miss Margaret C. Powers, assistant, and Miss Julia D. Hunt assistant. In the past two years circula tion at the library has increased from 18,206 books in 1961 to an estimated 21,222 by the end of this year. The facility's users have increased from 726 in 1961 to an estimated 1051 this year.

The questionnaire forms were sent to a parent of the first, mid dle, and last boy, and the first, middle, and last girl listed on each elementary class and sec ondary homeroom register.

Spurring the spirited expres sions of Yuletide was a contest, run by the management of the garden apartment village, which will reward the creators of the three best displays with cash prizes. As a result, porches and patios bristled with trimmed trees and holly. Every other window fram ed ribboned wreaths and* sprigs of mistletoe and everywhere. The display will be judged sometime after Christmas Day Prizes are individual awards of $75, $50, and $25, and 20 honor able mentions of $5 each. Springvale is the first private ly-financed retirement commun ity in the Metropolitan area. Com pleted in October, after three years of development, it has won high praise from government of ficials and builders as a model for moderate - priced retirement housing. Located on a 40-acre es tate overlooking the Hudson, the garden apartment community has been skillfully developed to take full advantage of its rolling, wooded site. This week, however, it resem bled nothing so much as 40 acres of Christmas trees.
