I Bedford Classroom Visitors Daniel Vitello New Manager Of School Data Processing BEDFORD— Daniel Vitello, formerly with the Plainview public schools as manager of their machine install ation, has succeeded Morton Sil- vershein as data processing man ager of the Bedford Central School District. Mr. Silvershein has resigned to work in designing and installing new applications in data process ing. The new school-oriented data processor has had 12 years of IBM machine work, five of which has been at the managerial level. Prior to entering the armed ser vices he spent a year with the IBM Corporation in New York City, returning to them after dis charge for three years more as assistant superviosr. While in the service Mr. Vitello was stationed at the Navy's Offic er Candidate School in Newport processing candidates and handl ing scheduling, scoring and re porting of grades. In addition to his responsibility for the IBM test scoring machine, he managed the keypunch section which required scheduling work and setting up jobs for the machine room.

Bedford Zone Board No Action on Nursing Home BEDFORD HILLS— Although numerous things were left unsettled at last weeks meet ing of the Board of Appeals the most persistent question was: What happened to Mr. Calise? The public notice for the hear ing said, \Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held by the Board of Appeals of the Town of Bedford. . .on the appli cation of Dr. Sidney Hendler of 3209 East 22nd Street, Brooklyn, New York, as contract vendee of premises owned by John P. Cal ise. . .for a permit. . .for the operation of a nursing home.\ Use Described Representing the applicant, Dr. Hendler was Judge David E. Nierenberg of Chappaqua, who outlined the purposes and struc ture of the proposed nursing home. Judge Nierenberg said the home, to occupy the old Scribner home on Route 172, would contain 50 beds and be staffed by high quality personnel. The convales cent home, he went on to say, will specialize in physio-therapy and occupational therapy. The judge continued-by assur ing the board that no plans were being entertained for admitting alcoholics mental cases, or pa tients with communicable dis eases. Furthermore, he said, the patients would be confined to the immediate area and would not wander off the premises. At this point lawyer Daniel Ticknor rose to his feet and rais ed an objection concerning the existence and the validity of the contract turning the property over to Dr. Hendler. 'Scared' to Sell \We've been trying everyday for the past three weeks to get in touch with Mr. Calise so that he could sign the contract. He called me the other day and said he was dying to sign the contract but that he was scared to death because people have been calling him and telling him not to sell because of the nursing home,\ insisted Judge Nierenberg. \Mr. Calise was in my office just the other day and he didn't look very scared to me,\ retort ed Mr. Ticknor. \He told me that he thought Dr. Hendler was going to use the house for private pur poses - that he had no idea it was going to be used for a nurs ing home,\ Mr. Ticknor added. John J. Leighton of Chestnut Ridge Road rose and asked for the floor. \I think it's most un fair for the applicant to bring all these people out for this meeting along with three sets of counsel and not have the required signed contract,\ Mr. Leighton declared. \I'll answer that,\ Judge Nier enberg replied, \by saying that we expected to have the contract signed three and a half weeks be fore this meeting. Mr. Calise said he wanted to sign but we cannot find him. The broker has been putting in as many as 10 calls a day without success.\ The chairman of the Zoning Board, DeForrest Hibbard, called for a five-minute recess to give the board a chance to deliberate. \In view of the muddled view we have heard this evening,\ said board member Alexander T. Bald win, \I recommend the applica tion be withdrawn and the hear ing dismissed until an adequate contract can be produced.\ Mr. Hibbard said the matter will be discussed again at the next regular meeting and that the hearing will be readvertised. Other Action In other business the board of appeals approved an application submitted by Marion Pistone ask ing for permission to construct an addition to an existing non conforming use, to consist of one dormer, rear roof, and comple tion of second floor to include three bedrooms and bath, hall way and storage room. The addi tion is planned for her home located on Old Post Road. Louis Hutsteiner of 276 Cherry Street, Katonah, received permis sion to construct an addition to his home to consist of a family room with a two-car garage. Downing, Ryan Asked Old Political Quiz: You Running Again? By ROGER LeCOURS SOMERS— Among the hazards of holding political office is the constant barrage of questions from news reporters who continually ask elected officials about their politi cal futures. \You won't get a word out of me! You're wasting your time,\ Yorktown's supervisor recently barked at a reporter. Yorktown's John H> Downing apparently hasn't made up his mind yet and that's his way of getting reporters off his back in a hurry. Ryan Won't Talk Supervisor Patrick V. Ryan of Somers, who is also undecided about his future plans, is saying even less. You can't converse with Mr. Ryan on the phone and if you confront him personnally in his office at the Town House, all you'll get is a pleasant smile. Mr. Ryan is on a \no - talk\ strike and hasn't uttered a word aloud for several weeks. But Mr. Ryan didn't call the Bedford Hit By Burglary BEDFORD HILLS— Lt. Wilbur B.

The Re publican supervisor, who had served in the post since 1949, is suffering from an acute case of laryngitis. A microphone now stands on the Town Board table so Mr. Ry an won't have to shout to be heard. The supervisor will pre serve his voice until it is nursed back to its normal capacity. Interview By Votes In a written interview last week Mr. Ryan said that he had not yet decided whether or not to seek another term as super visor. \These decisions are usual ly made before the primary,\ he replied. As for any possible aspirations beyond the post of town super visor in Somers, Mr. Ryan said: \I am very happy doing the job I have. I have no aspirations be yond it.\ Mothers' Guild Slates Talk by School Sisters KATONAH— St. Mary's Mothers' Guild will hear a talk by the Sisters of the Divine Compasion, who teach at St. Mary's School, at 8:15 p.m. tonight in the school auditorium.

The order to adopt the propos ed Cherry St. Water Extension District No. 2 will be subject to permissive referendum. The entire property involved in the proposal is owned by Rural Estates Inc. which presented a petition to the board. The firm wishes to develop the area which is presently open land. There would be no cost to the town of Bedford for the extension as Rural Estates Inc. would assume the costs for the installation of water mains and hydrants. The board passed a second resolution which results from the proposed Cherry St. district. The second resolution, which is also subject to permissive referendum, is for the formation of Cherry St. Water Extension No. 3. The resolution states that cer tain existing mains located in portions of Lily Pond Lane, Oak Road and Woodfield Road are owned by the town of Bedford and that the existing mains are not included in any water dis trict. It states therefore that the town appropriate a sum of money to pay the costs of preparing a general map, plan and report showing the water mains, distri buting pipes, hydrants, reservoirs, if any, and locations of each and describing lands or easements to be acquired. The resolution further resolves that the Fowler Engineering Corp. be designated as the firm to pre pare such plans as are necessary. In other business the board granted the release of a sloping easement affecting premises own ed by Audrey Ronald on Adams Street. The town Planning Board advised the Town Board that there is no longer a necessity for the easement. The board postponed the mat ter of awarding a contract for a new sidewalk plow. There is a need for further discussion of specifications on the contract for the plow, a spokesman said.

FEEDING BIRDS Birds will chirp close to your home this winter if you maintain a feeding station stocked with constant supply of food — bird seed and perhaps a little peanut butter and suet. Pinocchio Is Big Hit In Katonah KATONAH- Over 200 children squirmed in their seats in the auditorium of the Katonah Elementary School last week, eagerly await ing the story of Pinocchio to unfold before them. \There's Pinocchio!\ shouted a little boy when the curtain rose, exposing three marion ettes in Gepetto's carpentry shop. Then began the steady stream of restless legs scuttling to and from the drinking fountain while mothers tried in vain to halt the unending flow. The noise grew. \I wish my Pinocchio was not just a puppet,\ said Gepetto as day slid into night, \I wish he were a real live boy!\ Silence checked the shifting chairs and running feet as the children waited for the appearance of the blue-haired F a I r y Queen who was to give life to the wooden Pinocchio and tell him that. . . Every now and then, through a crack in the curtain, a mem ber of Nicolo Studios could be seen climbing upward to manip ulate the barely visible strings. The production was given by Nicolo Marionettes of New York City and presented by the Katonah Elementary School Parent - Teacher Association. Some 200 youngsters thought it was a success. BLEACHING LACE Age - yellowed lace can be bleached with a solution of two tablespoons of sodium perborate to a pint of water.
