MCLAUGHLIN and Treasurer Vice President Editor Phone: MOunt Kisco 6-802 i CEntral 8-3020 - YOrktown 2-2747 The Key Word Is 'Yes' ONLY ONE word is needed to bring the proposed urban re newal project to a reality af ter the public hearing to be held on Monday night, Sept. 9 in the auditorium of the Mount Kisco Elementary Schol. The word is \yes\ by the mayor and the board of trustees. In our opinion urban renewal is just what the doctor ordered to make Mount Kisco a first class village. With all the past political shenanigans, the hiring and firing of lawyers, the hiring and firing of a sponsor, a million dollar suit still pending against the urban renewal director and the $170,000 already spent on the proposed project, since the urban renewal office was open ed in July 1960, we're happy that at last a public hearing is scheduled. HERE'S WHAT urban renewal will do for Mount Kisco. It will eliminate a flood condition that has existed since the Sutton Lane area was annexed by the village. It will furnish decent housing for many families. It will create new industry. It will make a four-acre park with re creational facilities available to the residents of the northern end of the village, which is shown in the Master Plan as desirable. Kisco Avenue will be realigned to a 70 foot width with sidewalks. North Bedford Road, within the village limits, will be widened to a four lane high way with sidewalks for safety and an island in the middle. The state has already shown interest in carrying the highway further if urban renewal is adopted. All new modern gas, water, sewer and sanitary faci lities will be installed to fill the needs for the next 40 years. NOW WE KNOW that there will be plenty of opposition to the project next Monday night. Maiden aunts are famous auth orities on the problem of bring ing up children. Their unsoli cited opinions on questions of health, discipline, morals, diet, etc. ad infinitum, ad nauseum, are so reminiscent of the pro found \Aunty knows best\ ad vice so freely offered by unin formed, nonresident critics of the proposed urban renewal pro ject in the village. If the aunties must wield the Katonah Chorus Letters To The Reader Wants Repairs, Painting Of Chappaqua Station Benches Dear Editor, I read with interest your arti cle on the \New Look of the Chappaqua Station.\ I am also one of the pleased commuters- but wonder why they did not complete their good work.

Thirty years ago the same arguments were used against PWA Projects that would have saved this area many millions of dollars that were passed up be cause the aunties were scream ing \A political party will gain prestige, the Federal Govern ment will move in a n d take over Socialism.\ So the moneys were spent in other areas. Localities got schools, post offices, sewers, town halls etc. The government hasn't taken over and the poli tical parties are still reversing themselves periodically Let's not be so proud this time. Let's accept State and Federal help to solve our pro blems. Others will and we'll help foot the bill. WE URGE the citizens of Mount Kisco to speak favorably on urban renewal. The Time Is Long Overdue WE ARE becoming increas ingly alarmed by the number of young people in the 16-19 age bracket who tell us that the drink of young people is hard liquor. As late as 1959 this same age group reported that beer was the drink of teen agers, particularly the older group. Apparently someone is drink ing a lot more hard liquor, be cause according to the State Li quor Authority reports, hard li quor consumption for 1960 was up 1,126,465 gallons over 1959 1961 was up another 528,459 over 1960. This amounts to a two year increase of over a million and a half gallons. Beer consump tion dropped from 1959 to 1960 by over 5 million gallons, but it gained back 2% million gallons in 1961. It seems reasonable to assume that somewhere along the line there is a relationship between a state that drank 321 million gallons of beer in 1961, plus 30,- 725,000 gallons of hard liquor, plus 25 million gallons of wine, and the 700,000 alcoholics report ed to the legislature by Gover nor Rockefeller. There must be some relation ship between the above con sumption figures and the 5,583 automobile crashes caused by motorists in New York State in 1962, whose ability to drink was whose ability to drink was im- impaife'of By alcohol. The Motor Vehicle Department reports that research shows that the actual number of crashes with alcohol involved is undoubtedly much higher. The time is long overdue for New York State to take a real close look at what alcohol is do ing, and a good place to start is for us to get in step with the 49 other states and raise our age from 18 to 21 for purchase of al cohlic beverages. School Bells Again EVERYONE'S view of sum mer is different depending on his responsibilities, opportuni ties, and role in life. Many mothers very probably feel it has been long, noisy, busy and hot. But a good many million children and dogs probably find it hard to believe that three months could have sped so quickly and that the school doors are about to open once again. ^The sounds and smells and ex periences of summer vacation are still an important part of growing up. But there have been changes — the old swimming hole may have become a con crete-lined chlorinated pool. The automobile and airplane have vastly extended the scope of things that can be seen on a va cation trip. School has changed too, as the frontiers of man's knowledge have been pushed back so rapidly in recent years. The amount of knowledge that must be packed into the heads of children in grade school and high school has vastly increas ed. AS SCHOOL bells ring again, let's salute our young, people and those who guide them through ever more complicated fields of learning. In the great affairs of nations, in science, and in the complicated business of leading a good and worth while life, our need has never been greater for concerned, in telligent, educated men and women.

Golden Days IN NORTHERN WESTCHESTER 50 Years Ago March On Washington Inspiring Writes Pound Ridge Participant Dear Editor: For those of us who were there; Aug. 28 in Washington was a day that will always be engraved in our memories. Even the weather seemed to give its benediction to the cour age and hopes of the partici pants; to their quiet dignity and marvelous decorum. Father John LaFarge, in The Catholic News, said recently, \This concerns the fundamen tal rights of all of us - not mere ly the Negroes but the entire population. We are all involved m this question of right and wrong.\ This historic day demonstrat ed dramatically, the concern of Americans of all races in the deep moral and ethical issues. Perhaps for many the March on Washington will be an in spiration to work for racial jus tice as never before, and to de monstrate their concern with the democratic principles of true equality. Nancy E. Malawista Upper Shad Road Pound Ridge, N. Y. The local Gun Club grounds in Mount Kisco were crowded when the big Shooting Match began on Wednesday forenoon. As a re sult of the team contest, White Plains won out With a score of 442 out of 500. Mount Kisco came in second with 439. On the recommendation of the District Nursing Association, a dancing class was formed by he South Salem, Lake Wacca- buc and Cross River girls' clubs. The services of Miss Parsons of Brooklyn were secured and she has proven an excellent teacher. Mr. and Mrs. C. Gouverneur Weir left Katonah on Monday, having made plans for a tour of the world. They had expected to sail on the Imperator which took fire at her dock yesterday morn ing. O. W. Green on Wednesday trimmed up the long neglected trees that hung so low as to ren der driving on Katonah streets dangerous. However, many of the narrow escapes lately on the Parkway have been caused by failure to drive on the right side as it is a very common occur rence to see cars pass Kellogg and Mead's store going to the west, which is manifestly wrong according to driving regulations. Dana Thomas of South Salem received a present this week that will long give him untold pleasure. A friend wishing to re member the young man's birth day, sent him a Victor talking machine with 26 records of the finest grade. Independent Republicans Will Strengthen Party Says Reader The Camp Fire Girls who have been camping in Lincolndale for the past three weeks left last Monday for their homes in White Plains. The \Old Stone School House\ in Bedford Village will be main tained as a museum by the Bed ford Chapter of The Agassiz So ciety and will be opened to the public on Sept. 4 with an exhi bition of a loan collection of lo cal and locally historical arti cles. Dear Editor: As a citizen and registered Republican of the Town of Bed ford, I feel it my duty to stand up and be counted as an In dependent Republican. The present incumbents have been doing a good job in hand ling the affairs of our Town, but I believe that too many have been too long !n their positions. This poses a tendency to lassi tude and lack of progress. With the Democrats stirring and active, there will come a time when running on the Re publican ticket is not tanta mount to election. The Inde pendent Republicans are a group of people who feel that all citizens should be aware and Saturday night Yorktown Heights streets were illuminat ed for the first time. When the lights were turned on the boys of the village thought it was a good time for a parade, so the band got in order and had torch lights and music. The boys marched all around the place and made quite a little show ing and a good deal of noise to show that they appreciated having lighter streets. It is quite an improvement to the little village. Great preparations are being made for the church fair in Cross River this week. We have seen some very pretty aprons which have been donated for the occasion and come from the east and west. Some of which are about the size of a cuckoo's nest. Philatelic Almanac By DAVID SWIFT One of a stamp collector's most essential accessories, the Scott Standard Postage Stamp; Catalog, has 32 pages less in its new Volume I than last year, despite the addition of 1,666 list ings. The 1964 edition of the first part of the 96-year-old \Ency clopedia of Philately\ managed the squeeze by lengthening the pages a quarter-inch. The 994- page book, which is scheduled for publication Sept. 1, has 19, 415 new or changed prices— 8,515 of them for stamps of La tin America, 1,640 for United States issues and the rest in the British Commonwealth. Countries with the most price changes are Venezuela with 964, Nicarague, 837, and Colum bia, 801. An upward trend is typical of the U. S. prices, with the 24 cents airmail invert increasing to $11,000 from $10,000, and all the early airmails and Zeppe lin airs showing a general ad vance. In the Great Britain sec tion, prices of many unused 19th Century stamps have increased, and the strong, steady demand for 19th Century British West rose from $25 to $30. The Volume I, still priced at $6, will be followed on Oct. 1, by Volume H —covering the na tions of Europe, Asia, Africa and their colonies-^at $8. The Combined Edition, with both volumes in a single binding, is due Nov. 1 and will be $12.50. Soctt's U. S. Specialized cata log, price $5, is scheduled for Oct. 15. All may be obtained from stamp dealers. concerned with their govern ment, and their purpose is to stimulate and expand that con cern. They have been delving into the activities of the present administration and feel that there are many minor and some major matters that need correc tion. Their voice and your voice should be heard in these mat ters. Their main purpose is to strengthen the party, not divide it. They feel that all citizens should take an active interest in the affairs of government and be fully informed, thereby be- corning better citizens, with a better government. Ernest E.
