YOrktown 2-2747 Looking To Christmas IT HAS OCCURRED to us that our readers would like to know how their donations to the Westchester Children's Associa tion Christmas Fund were used last year. Here is a summary: 778 chil dren in foster care were given $1 or $2 checks with which they could do a little Christmas shop ping of their own, a gift to fos ter brother or sister, or a re membrance to the foster par ents; 71teenagers received checks on the basis of his or her own particular need; a Christ mas tree was provided for the Playroom in the Division of Family and Child Welfare. In addition, WCA branch commit tees arranged for toys and other gifts for children in public as sistance families. All this adds up to an impressive figure both in dollars and in the actual number of children whom you remembered at Christmas. THIS YEAR the story with lit tle variation is the same. If this way of giving a truly happy Christmas to children appeals to you, won't you join in with many others by sending in a check to 7 Lake St., White Plains, N. Y. A Christmas card to you will be a reminder that \your con tribution to the Christmas Fund will help gladden the hearts of children separated from their own families.. .\ F Saves Life And Limb ONE THING is certain. We will have snow any day now. Don't wait until after the storm to remove snow and ice from the sidewalks, driveway and steps of your home-start clearing them when the storm starts. This is called the \bare pave ment\ method - and if followed, It will save you accident dam age and keep you sounder of life and limb. HERE ARE the steps recom mended for the \bare pave ment\ method: As soon as snow starts falling spread about a quarter of a pound of salt over each square yard of pavement. Snow starts melting upon contact with the salt and forms a film of brine. In a heavy snowfall, this brine will prevent snow from bonding to the pavement. IF THE SNOW continues, ap ply a second dose of salt after the snow accumulates to a depth of two or three inches. Before shoveling, wait until the salt has honey-combed the snow and the brine has spread out between the snow and the pavement. SAVE YOUR HEART and energy by taking smaU shovel fuls. Spread another light applica tion of salt after the pavement is cleared. Shop Now - -Shop Local THE MAJOR headaches of Chistmas shopping can be avoid ed by two rules: shop as soon as possible, and shop with your local merchants. Those who yield to the tempta tion of the big cities when shop ping for Christmas gifts often find that they pay a big price for the privilege. They are push ed and shoved—the merchandise is fingered and shopworn. YOU CAN AVOID all of this. Try your own town in northern Westchester first. This year Mount Kisco has added a extra attraction for holiday shoppers, free parking for over 500 cars to the rear of the stores on South Moger Av enue. All the merchants have made their windows look bright and snappy. They have on hand a wide variety of gifts in an at tractive array, and have spent a lot of money in making Mount Kisco a pretty place to shop in. The streets are gaily lighted, and the merchants have added extra hours from now until Christmas for night shoppers. YOUR LOCAL merchant is willing to lend that friendly spirit to your stay - at - home Christmas shopping. And when it is done, he'll wrap the gifts, help you load up your car and you can go home fresh, unwor- ried and happy. GIVE NORTH Westchester a break and yourself a rest. Trade at home this Christmas. It Happened 25 Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Eden were luncheon guests of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Pope of Mount Holly Road, Katonah, Sunday.

CHECK FOR the final mort gage payment on the Taconic Girl Scout Camp Ludington is presented by Mrs. Jason Gor don Jr., of Katonah, left, pres ident of the Taconic Council, to Leland Ryder, right, presi dent of the Putnam County National Bank. Looking on, left to right, are Mrs. George Jones Jr. of Mahopac and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kristeller of Carmel.

Plans for the site include more buildings and improved access facili ties. Golden Days IN NORTHERN WESTCHESTER 50 Years Ago Miss Mary Rebecca Moore, assistant superintendent of the N. Y. State Reformatory for Women at Bedford Hills with Dr. Margaret S. Hallock, has just returned from Buffalo, where they attended the state conference of those interested in charity and correction institu tions. Surveyors have been at work for a few weeks on the property of Mr. Agnew in South Salem, who bought the farms of Thom as Gilbert and the late Joseph Bendict. A map is being made, and it is understood a fine resi dence wil be built on the place before long. A few readers of this South Salem column will remember go ing to the village school, when one of the pupils with the best record for scholarship was Lib- bie Dorman. It will interest these former schoolmates to learn that her daughter, Miss Ruth Razee, who inherited her mother's bright mind, has been sent to an important college as instructor of Greek and Latin. Miss Razee has gone to Turkey and will remain for five years. She is a graduate of Mt. Holy- oke and has had much post graduate work at Yale, and is well fitted for her new position. Her mother's home is in New Haven, Conn. It was fitting that the local Suffrage Party should hold one of its first \rallies\ at Chap paqua, the home of Horace Gree ley, himself the ardent cham pion of the cause and one of the first great men to take it up in this country. More than 100 lo cal residents assembled at Hy att's Auditorium on Tuesday evening to hear arguments for the movement and it is a worthy tribute to the power of the speak ers and the intelligence of their auditors that 55 signed pledges after the meeting binding them selves to work for \votes for Women.\ Edwin W. Bedell, pre sided, while the Rev. O. T. Bar nes, Miss Adelaide Goan, J.I.D. Bristol and Mrs. H. A. Robin son made addresses. The Rev. Harold Adye Prich- ard, assistant at St. Peter's Church, Morristown, N. J. to whom was extended a call to be come rector of St. Mark's Church, Mount Kisco, has ac cepted the call and will assume charge on Feb. 1, 1914. The ves try has been making arrange ments for the reception of the new pastor. Mr. Prichard is an Englishman about 30 years of age and a graduate of Oxford where he was one of the cele brated cricketers. He is married and has two children. COMMEMORATING the first telephone cable to span the Pacific is this stamp issued by Great Britain. It depicts a symbolic globe crossed by a broad line representing the ca ble that runs through symbolic waves and fans out to end in the words \Commonwealth Cable.\ At the right is a head- and-shoulders portrait of Queen Elizabeth. Philatelic Almanac By DAVID SWIT Four nations are issuing stamps to mark the opening of the Commonwealth Pacific Ca ble, the first telephone cable to span the Pacific, which runs from Vancouver, Canada, to the Fiji Islands and Australia and New Zealand. Great Britain commemorated the opening, which was high lighted by a recorded message by Queen Elizabeth, with a 1- shilling, 6-pence stamp' printed in varying tones of blue to sug gest the sea, and black. The stamp depicts a symbolic globe, crossed by a broad line repre senting the cable that runs through symbolic waves and fans out to end in the worlds \Commonwealth Cable.\ At the right is a head-and-shoulders portrait of the Queen. Similar stamps were issued by New Zealand and Australia. The Fiji Islands comemorated the opening by overprinting the blue 1-shilling stamp in the cur rent regular series with the words \Compac Cable in Serv ice, December, 1963,\ and the silhouette of the cable - laying ship \Retriever.\ Stamp albums and accessor ies make appropriate Christmas gifts for collectors of all ages, but non-collectors are advised to choose gift certificates rather than stamps so the gift will not duplicate what the recipient al ready has. Among the most suit able gifts are the new editions of stamp catalogs,, general books on the hobby, specialized litera ture for those who collect only a few areas and stock books to hold duplicate stamps. Albums that make fine phila telic gifts range in price from about $5 for those holding a small world-wide collection or U. S. stamps only to up to $76 .foKa'five-volume set of albums for stamps' of the world. Also available, from $7 to $30, are al bums, for individual countries or coountry-groups. NEW ISSUES: St. Athanasl- os, founder of the Mount Athos monastic community, is pictur ed on one of the eight stamps issued by Greece to mark the 1,000th anniversary of the \Holy Republic of Mount Athos.\ Churches of Angola provide the designs for a set of 18 multi - cotor stamps released by the Portuguese province in Africa. Two stamps picturing Ataturk, who as Mustapha Kemal Pasha founded the Turkish Republic, were issued by Turkey on the 25th anniversary of his death. Ataturk's portrait also appears on a set of three stamps mark ing the 40th anniversary of the Republic. This column is a public serv Ice of the Society of Philatelic Americans, a non - profit group which has served stamp collec tors for 69 years. Information on the Society's membership bene fits can be obtained from SPA's President, Robert Baughamn, Box 1178-K, Liberal, Kan. 67901. The volume of mail, however, prevents Mr. Baughman from answering general questions about stamps. PT MEETING AT CENTER MOUNT KISCO— The first general meeting for parents of all children in the primary and Hebrew depart ments of the Religious School will be held at the Jewish Com munity Center tonight Thursday at 8:30 p.m. Led by Rabbi Sanford H.

Appeals from President John son and others notwithstanding, Congress apparently is not go ing to pass the Kennedy civil rights bill before going home to celebrate Christmas . . . and who knows if they'll pass it by Easter. We here in Westchester don't have to wait on a handful of Southern Congressmen, how ever. We have a job to do here at home RIGHT NOW to get rid of discrimination in housing once and for all. Some may think it doesn't exist here because this is West chester, New York, and it's against the law. But all you have to do is drive through practically any of our cities or villages or towns and you know right off there is not equal op portunity here when it comes fb housing. We have the power to change this, however. We can do it right here and now and by our- live by those democratic prin ciples for which other Amer icans have died for two cen turies. ' Last week we mourned our assassinated President. Chruch- es and veteran's groups and others held memorial services for President Kennedy and he was eulogized far and near. This week schools and bridges and places already are being named in his memory. What could be more fitting than for us to build a living memorial here in Westchester, where we live, . .a memorial to assure that the thousand days of JFK will mean something and live forever. We can do this by continuing the fight for which the Presi dent lived. We can do this by making our cities and villages and towns better places to live- for everyone. We can do this by genuinely ending discrimin ation in housing. MARTIN L. PARKER 39 Quinn Road Briarcliff Manor LWV Urges Reader's Support Of U. S. Foreign Aid Programs Dear Editor: In an effort to help to forestall further cuts in United States foreign economic aid programs the League of Women Voters of New Castle would like to reaoh beyond its members and urge readers to write their Congressmen to support the full amounts authorized when the appropriations are made. We believe it is in the interest of the United States and the Free World to encourage and assist countries that are struggling to develop viable economies and to maintain their political in dependence. As a member of the league's national board stated before the committee on appropriations of the Senate it seems to us in listening to the congressional de bate that somewhere along the line the purpose and intent of economic aid programs has fad ed out of the picture. We believe that United States economic aid should be long- range in character; that the aid programs should be staffed with competent, able people. We are pleased to note in recent years the increased tightness with ef forts of the recipient countries, the greater selectivity with which the United States has dis pensed assistance and the great er tendency of other advanced countries to cooperate. In the speech out late Presi dent Kennedy was unable to make he had planned to point out the very essential role of economic aid in United States foreign policy to assure that the pared down amounts authoriz ed would be appropriated. Readers should write Hon. Jacob K. Javits and Hon. Ken neth B. Keating, Senate Office Building, Washington 25, D. C. and to Representative Ogden R. Reid, House Office Building, Washington 25, D. C. (26th Dis trict). Very sincerely yours, Mrs. James Lynch President 45 Kerry Lane Chappaqua Says Words Of London Paper Are Of Particular Significance New School Bids Now Due Jan. 7 MOUNT KISCO— The date for return of bids on Bedford Central's Middle school building plans has* been pushed back to Jan. 7 from Dec. 19, ac cording to the president of the Board of Education. The delay has been granted at the request of contractors who said both they and the com panies from which they must get estimates are behind sched ule. They said the President's death and the Thanksgiving hol iday had combined to upset reg ular schedules sufficiently to make an accurate bid impossi ble by the earlier date. E. J. VanAllsburg, board pres ident, announced that a pre-bid conference between several con tractors and the architects of the school had been held Dec. 4. Purpose of the meeting was to clarify details of the plans and provide an opportunity for ques tioning. The delay will place the vote on the bond issue in late Febru ary or March. The board must decide on what final pack age will be offered to voters aft er bids are opened. It must then advertise the proposition each week for four weeks prior to holding the vote. Board O.K.'s Two-Story Apartment MOUNT KISCO— Site plans for a 14-unit, two- story apartment building to be built on Gregory Street were conditionally approved Decem ber 5 by the Mount Kisco Plan ning Board. The plans were presented to the board by Rocco Amuso who said the building would include 12 efficiency apartments and two two-room apartments when completed. Rents are expected to be below $80, ne said, and construction will not start until next spring. • The board approved the plans subject to the granting of a var iance by»the Zoning Board of Appeals. The variance will cov er several aspects of the plans including a zoning variance to permit a multiple dwelling unit in an R-3 residential district. The plans call for off-street parking for 21 cars. The board also asked that drainage for both the land and the roof be made satisfactory to the village engineer. It is thought that Mr. Amuso will abstain from voting when the variance requests are taken up by the zoning board, of which he is a member. Dear Editor To those of the civilized world, at this time of great tragedy, the words in The London Daily Herald seem to have particular significance: \Any statesman who stands for sanity and democracy and liberal ideals,\ risks becoming a target for fanatics — The Stalins of the world die mostly in their beds. It is the Lincolns and the Kennedys who are shot down.\ Yours truly, FRANK WEBSTER Chestnut Ridge Road Mount Kisco 25 Years Ago in Chappaqua One lone taxpayer without any connection with the town of New Castle or working interest in the annual town budget hearing at tended that hearing on Wednes day evening at the Town Hall. He was Samuel Olim, large property owner from Mount Kis co. Five years ago there were 400 people in the Greeley School auditorium for the hearing. There were other taxpayers pre sent but all of them had some thing to do with town govern ment. Miss Lydia Hugg of Chappa qua was awarded first prize of $2.00 for finding the correct number of mispelled words hid den in the advertisements of the merchants in the mispelled word contest. Bids have been asked for on location and rent for new post office quarters in Chappaqua. The bidders must file their pro posals by Jan. 12, 1939 and new quarters must be ready for oc cupancy by Aug. 15, 1939. A chorus of 200 unchanged voices will present a program of Christmas carols on Sunday at 4 p.m. in the auditorium of Hoi- ace Greeley School. The pro gram will include solos by sev eral children and the carols will be illustrated by tableaux. The New Castle Welfare De partment had 970 applications for relief during the first 11 months of 1938, Mrs. Hutcheson Page, welfare officer, stated to day. A total of 575 of these ap plications were accepted by the department and 395 jobs were found for others. The placement of many of the persons who ap plied for relief in jobs, full or part time, was largely due to the cooperation and publicity given by the New Castle Trib une, Mrs. Page said. George Haas was among the young people who attended a meeting of the St. Francis A1-' umni at the Mount Kisco Casi no Saturday night when plans were made for a dance to be sponsored jointly by the Alum ni and the Holy Name Society of St. Francis Church Saturday, Jan. 28 at St. Francis Hall.
