Dr. Richter contends that two years credit should be given a prospective teaching candidate in the district provided he in terrupted his career in the pre paration for the profession or in the profession itself. Some members of the board claim that if the teacher goes to high school, goes into the Armed Forces and back to college that is not interruption. WE DISAGREE with some of the board members' thinking. A submariner's training adds nothing to the civilian occupa tion of bookkeeper nor does a tank commander's skills help to sell insurance. No points or cre dits are given, none are asked for or expected. In a great many other fields, however, in dustry is bidding like mad for the service trained technician. Can the school district afford to do less THE TEACHING profession is unique in that all arts, exper iences, and discipline add to the skills of the pedagogue. A tour of duty in the armed forces re gardless of when performed is bound to enrich in experience and leadership even if no spe cial skill is acquired. In this day and age when the vast ma jority of our young people will be required to enter military service, the more a teacher knows about whats ahead for him the greater value he is to the school and to us. FOR THIS value he should be rated. It is demeaning to give credits simply for wearing the uniform. The credits are for the added skills and stature earned in service. We imagine that many, like us, have observed transforma tions in character after periods of military service. Idlers have become workers and poor stu dents have gone to the top of the class. It often is said of these that uniformed service has \made a man\ of them. It's a pretty good school. THERE'S a great deal of real estate activity in all northern Westchester and there will be a lot more when the Urban Renew al program gets underway in Mount Kisco. The majority of real estate brokers are trust worthy and anxious to help pros pective buyers obtain facts they should have before making a de cision. BUYERS, however, would do well to be guided by the follow ing tips from the National Bet ter Business Bureau. Know your promoter. Every broker isn't a Realtor. That's a trademark applicable only to brokers accepted into member ship by the National Association of Real Estate Boards. They are pledged to an established code of business ethics. See before you buy. Purchas ers should examine personally any property they plan to buy, even if this involves travel, in convenience and expense. Be wary of out-of-state \retire ment paradises\ which may turn out to be submarginal, un developed land. Get financial details. How will payments be made? If long - range, what are arrangements? Can you choose the mortgagor? Is there a prepayment clause? Is there an existing mortgage? Must you assume it? What are the closing costs? What are the carrying charges? CHECK ZONING. Will one lot comply with requirements? Are there restrictive or protective covenants? What are the terms? Does your contemplated con struction violate them? Study your location. Are there churches, stores, compatible neighbors, cultural resources, recreational facilities? Will you be troubled by insect pests, ob- jectional noises, smoke, noxi- Investigate Before You Buy ous odors? Is the climate health ful for You? Examine improvements. Are there paved streets, public util ities, sanitary and storm sewers, water mains, street lights? Are they paid for? If proposed, has a bond been filed with authori ties to insure completion? What is the water supply? Must you drill a well? At what cost? Know what you're buying. Is there chance of encorachment by commercial, industrial, or highway development? Is the map with the designated lot, rights, and privileges, record ed? SEARCH THE TITLE. Who owns the property? Is it free and clear? Are there easements, liens, judgments, unpaid taxes or assessments? Examining ti tles is generally done by law yers or title companies. The lat ter can protect your investment with title insurance. Check assessments, valuations Is the price consistent with sim ilar lots in the area? What is the assessed valuation? Assess ment rate? Will special assess ments be levied? Inspect topograhy. Is the soil satisfactory for lawns, garden? Does property contain fill? Is there likelihood of sinkage? Will land need grading, excavating, filling, drainage, retaining walls Is there a rock problem? AVOID HIGH-Pressure selling Don't let your good judgment be promises. If you're told to \act quickly,\ move more slowly than ever. Beware of \free allotments.\ These require you to be at a spe cified site on a certain date for \information on the lot, consid eration required, and privileges granted.\ The whole idea is to lure you to the site to buy. GET AN ATTORNEY. Once you've decided to buy, seek counsel and advice from an at torney. He knows the legal term inology of contracts and leases, and will serve your best inter ests.

BEDFORD TAXES UP - The Bedford Board of Educa tion got a large vote of confi dence from district residents when its proposed budget was accepted by a three to one ma jority last May. The approval of $3,952,087 for expenditures meant an increase in the tax rate of $2.85. Also approved by taxpayers were an adult educa tion program and a summer school program. It seems to us that on Sunday all other roads must have been closed and that Trinity Ave. in Pound Ridge was the only outlet for automobilists to travel on their pleasure trips about the country. Mrs. Clarence C. Rice, a woman well known in New York Society, and whose daughters are Mrs. John L. Saltonstall and Mrs. William Gordon Means of Boston, has made the w o r k of her pottery kilns on her farm in Bedford Village, near New York City, her avocation.

Water Superintendent F. Rock well Mathews, in addressing the Mount Kisco Lions Club Tues day on the water situation in Mount Kisco, disclosed that ne gotiations will be started within the next week for the acquisi tion of a parcel of county-own ed property near Green Lane as the site for a third permanent municipal well. \Sel 'em Ben\ Smith's luck still holds, it was evident at Ar- monk Friday night when he nar rowly escaped injury as the plane in which he was a passen ger struck a ditch and nosed ov er at Westchester Airport. Ber nard E. Smith, stock broker of Bedford Village, was with Pre mier Mitchell F. Hepburn of Ontario when their plane was forced down in Yukon Territory by stormy weather recently. Over 100 persons attended the clam bake under the auspices of the Bedford Fanners A.C., held last Friday night at the old La Roe Airport on Banksville Road. Proceeds are to be used for new football equipment. Miss Emily S. Clark, daughter of the well-known mortician, Wil liam H.

The Mount Kisco police de partment's highway safety rec ord received a severe jolt this week when five minor crashes were reported to the local auth period during which no accidents period during which no acidents occurred in the community. Chappaquti Woman Warm Youths OfBecoming'Sick American? Dear. Editor: I thought you would be inter ested in the enclosed message by Lawrence A. Collins, entitled \Sick American .Tells Why,\/1 have just sent a few copies off to some of the college crowd, Recently graduated, et al. After all. they are the ones who will be standing the brunt of things to come. It is difficult to reconcile teaching and indoctrination with \fact in retrospect, at the college level we are all quite idealistic and we're sure that there was nothing but \good\ prevailing. It doesn't work that way unless hard, constant work is consist ently being done, as well as be ing aware of all the treachery waiting for this weak moment. This is the message I passed on to these young men and wom en, which I hope you will pre sent to your readers. \I am one of the Americans .who heard Mr. Khrushchev tell our Nation that my great grandchildren will grow up in a Communist world. For some time now this has bothered me. I am not a brave man—not even a big gone. I suppose I would have to admit that I am, among my own neighbors and in my own culture, the typical, average well-educated, genteel suburb anite to whom family, the mort gage, and security have been the all-important items. T am now 50, and soon my wife and I will see the first of our three children married. I paint my own house, repair my own car, grub my own devil grass, and nurse a modest sav ings account at the Bank of America. I am a law - abiding man on the quiet side, and dis sension makes me terribly ner vous. Frankly, I am the kind who simply doesn't have it in him to fight anyone ever. \My wife had me cleaning out an old trunk in the storage room the other day, and I ran across the huge old family Bible that I hadn't thought about for years. My great-grandmother had kept a journal of the trip across the Great Plains with a wagon and oxen when she and great-grand pa were youngsters coming out to settle in California in the great migration. Great-grandma wrote about it as the wild, new land, rich and abundant in myth ical proportions. On the trail she wrote of sick ness and hunger, and heat and cold, and dust and thirst, and the deaths and births like beads strung together on a thread of hope and freedom and a land of plenty for their children yet un born. \And when she viewed the new land she wrote in simple word pictures of the cities and farms and schools, and happiness that would someday bloom in the greatness of the vast new land. She wrote of her tomorrow and my day. The ink was badly fad ed but the message was clear. \As I read, I began to think about America and being an American and what it all stands for; and I thought about our en emies and what they intend to do to America, to those rich lands and farms, to Hie cities and the people, to its freedom and its hope. \And suddenly, I realized that I am a sick American. I mean really sick. I am sick of panac eas and of backing up. \I am sick of reactions where there should be initiative. I am sick of bureaucrats who tell me that my enemy is not really my enemy, and that I should live to gether with murders and ty rants. I am sick of government that hasn't the guts to clean traitors out of its own offices. And I'm sick of being a nice, patient guy about it. I am sick of placidly accepting excuses in stead of sucesses; of being a silent gentleman for fear of con troversy. I am sick of my coun try being ridiculed all over the world. I am sick of pink-livered politicans who place personal ca rer above the fate of the flag. \I am sick of 40 years of re lentless, creeping, cancerous, communistic godlessness that never once has wavered from its avowed purpose of conquer ing that flag and seeing it tram pled in the mud under Russian boots. \I am sick of my genteel de sire to stand pat and pray while the enemy advances. I am sick of educators who teach toler ance of subversion and of cler gymen who woull have me quail at the specter of battle and turn my cheek in fear of what our enemies might do. In all hones ty, the thing of which I am most sick is the man who let these things come to me: myself. \And by the living God who made me, sir, I am a sick Amer ican who intends to get well.\ VIRGINIA McCANN 303 Douglas Road,— Chappaqua, N. Y._ Says Coverage Of Stanley Speech 'Would Do Credit To Pravda' Dear Editor: The coverage of the recent Freedom Presentation speaker, Scott Stanley, by your newspa per would do credit to Pravda. The article ignored the sub stance of his speech, estimated his audience at between 50 to 200 attended (any grade school child can come nearer than that); could not differentiate a stereo record player from a tape re corder, although the former was in full view, and failed to rec ognize patriotic tunes recorded by the Robert Shaw Chorale. Examples like this do not prove incompetency but do ex emplify the distortion we are experiencing from our press. DONALD E. HUSE Flintlock Ridge Road Katonah Incredible That U.S. Leaders Should Want Pact, She Says Donkey softball, which made its debut here two years ago, will be played again at Leonard Park, Mount Kisco, on Wed nesday night, Aug. 24, when the Mount Kisco Elks and the Ka tonah Fire Department get to gether in a benefit contest. Teenage Vandalism Halted, Russell Tells Town Board Supervisor Robert B. Stewart expects to appoint a safety committee for the Town of New Castle outside the village when the Town Council holds its first meeting in September. The com mittee will be formed to cooper ate with the CountyTrafficj Commission which was created Jan. 1, 1938. The Town Council in its Au gust meeting last night set Sept. 8 as the date for a hearing on a proposed ordinance against tres passing in the Town of New Castle. The hearing will be held beginning at 8^'clock in the eve ning. LEWISBORO— Teenage vandalism that has plagued the community of Vista since last September has been brought to a sudden halt through enforced police protection and strict law enforcement, Cyrus Russell, supervisor of Lewisboro said Aug. 13. Reviewing some of the inci dents resulting from Connecticut teenagers crossing the New York border to purchase beer, Mr. ^Russell said reports of trouble .in the, area have slowed to a standstill. For good measure, the Jboard resolved, to have the area patrolled by town police during the Labor Day weekend. The Norwalk Water Depart ment, Mr. Russell said,, has agreed to move the wire fence surrounding the Norwalk Reser voir closer to the road to dis courage off - street parking. In addition 'no trespassing' signs have, been posted to prevent youngsters from swimming in the reservoir. In other business, the board adopted an assessment roll for residents owning property bor dering on Laurie Lane. The roll will provide monies to pay for improvements to the road which has been taken over by the town. A,bid of $75 dollars was re ceived by the board from Regi nald F. Wilson of Lake Kitche- wan for a piece of town owned property located on Hemlock Road. Mr. Russell indicated the parcel will be up for public auc- .tion at - the next, meeting on Sept, 10. A\ 20-acre lot, donated to the town* by Mrs. Walter S. Poor of Elmwood Road, South Salem, was named. Onatru Reservation at her suggestion. Also up for discussion were remodeling plans for the Goldens Bridge Community house and the Vista 'Community House. As soon as detailed plans are- submitted, the board will consider letting bfds for the work. It seems incredible to me that our leaders are even striving for a treaty with the Commu nists, let alone hysterically want ing to sign one. Haven't the Communists been saying for 40 - odd years that they'll never keep an agreement unless it suits their aims? Haven't they always said that they make agreements only to gain strength (time, etc.) for them selves? Haven't their proved own words on this subject to be true for so many dreary years? Why won't our leaders recognize Communist duplicity? Why are we always crawling to them on our knees? Are our leaders afraid — when we have the strongest nation on earth? It just defies reason. Do we have to prove to the world that we don't have \imperialist\ aims — when we've been prov ing it for 18 years? What are we trying to prove, and to whom? There have been many pre dictions by eminent scientists for several years that the Chin ese Communists would have the A-bomb by 1964. Now all our \liberal\ leaders, who want the treaty signed say, \Oh no, the Chinese will not get the bomb for another 10 years.\ I think it's a trap that our cowardly fuzzy \liberals\ have been dup ed into setting. The old Communist trick of pretending a feud so that half the Communist camp can con tinue a hostile policy while the other half \mellows\ is one of the oldest ruses. Are our leaders unable to comprehend this? We give millions of dollars of aid to Yugoslavia yearly, and even train her flyers because we've believed that ruse. Now, if we sign this treaty the Communists can continue testing in China, pretending they are only Chin ese Communists, while we sit waiting for the axe to fall. Furthermore, the preamble of the treaty commits the United States as \prodaiming as their principal aim the speediest pos sible achievement of an agree ment on general and complete disarmament under strict inter national control in accordance with the objectives of the United Nations. I wonder how aware people are of State Department document 7277, which is the \United States Program for General and Complete Disarma ment in a peaceful World.\ (Is this a peaceful world?) This plan, already being im plemented, is a three-stage plan- to turn over all of our armed forces to the-- United Nations in favor of a U.NV 'Teace\ Force. taking us into a one - world socialist government under the United Nations (where the Com munist, \neutralist and Afro- Asian nations can now out vote us 64-1, in spite of the fact that we pay most of the bills. In the face of the most cun ning, vicious, and diabolical enemy that humanity has ever faced we are to disarm our selves, and hamper our defense capabilities with a test ban trea ty. (Doesn't anyone remember Carthage?) We are not building our best weapon, the RS70 bomber, and we are not building our anti » missile missile, the Nike Zeus. Under the test ban treaty we will in short order be helpless. PAMELA M. COLGATE (Mrs. Austen B. Colgate) Rock Gate Farm Road Mount Kisco . In other words our leaders are Tree Felling Is Ruled Not Union's Fault A union cannot be held re sponsible for an intentional act on the part of one of its mem bers unless he had been au thorized to act by its entire membership, Supreme Court Justice John J. Dillon ruled Monday in a negligence suit brought against the Internation al Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. He thus dismissed the union from a suit brought by two Cro- ton-on-Hudson couples who are each asking for $1,000 in dam ages for trees which a union employe cut down on their prop erties, located next door to the Hudson View Lodge on Albany Post Road, N. Croton. The lodge is a resort operated by the un ion for its members. Because Thomas Bradley, a caretaker, allegedly trespassed to cut down the trees, Justice Dillon held that the union is not accountable for his actions since he said, trespassing is an \in tentional\ act. Mr. Bradley remains as a de fendant in the suit, brought by Charles and Jean Kirby and James and Carol Collier, all of Albany Post Road N., Croton. The defendant allegedly cut down the trees while working-on the union's property in July of 1962.
