On Monday, members of the Interfaith committee, Protest ants, Catholics and Jews, spent the entire day at St. Mark's Church parish house packing boxes for the women at West- field. With funds contributed by area churches, synagogues and business concerns, gifts were purchased and then attractively boxed. Each box contains a tow el, a washcloth, tooth brush, toothpaste, cigarettes, candy and other amenities. The boxes are all exactly alike, this was achieved by wholesale buying, according to a member of the committee. The interfaith committee for Westfield is sponsored by the Episcopal City Mission Society of New York. It is a loosely or ganized group, explained a local spokesman, of interested women of all faiths. Other Activities The committee does not limit Itself to Christmas activity. Dur ing the year, working through the full time Protectant Chap lain at Westfield, the Rev. E. Dale Baker, and the part time Jewish and Roman Catholic chaplains, the committee mem bers conduct an on-going pro gram at Westfield. Every month two birthday parties are given, one at the re formatory and one at the prison. Each birthday celebrant gets a cake and a gift and the other guests enjoy ice-cream punch, candy and of course the birth day cake. Four members of the interfaith committee act as hostesses at each party. A knitting group at the refor matory is operated by commit tee members. This is such a popular activity that there is a waiting list for the 40 places in the class. The women knit for the Westfield nursery and also for children in St. Barnabas House, a children's shelter in New York City. The committee members also- assist in Bible classes conduct ed under the auspices of the chaplains on Sunday afternoons and take care of altar flowers for services at Westfield.

Want Ward To Replace Shulman MOUNT KISCO— A harbinger of the political ferment of March .arrived at the meeting of the Mount Kisco Village Board Monday night in the form of a letter from one of the trustees. Henry V. Kensing sent the let- er in accordance with procedure asking to have put on the agen da the consideration of appoint ing John T. Ward (village Dem ocrat chairman) to the position of police justice in the village. The only obstacle to this ap pointment, as Mr. Kensing saw it, was the fact that the position is currently held by Republican. Frederick Shulman. But be cause Judge Shulman was re cently elected justice of the peace in New Castle, Mr. Ken sing said he felt the board could use some of its influence in pro moting Judge Shulman's resig nation from the Kisco post. Trustee Frank Duffy, Repub lican, said the two positions are by law compatible (in which Mr. Kensing concurred) and that the board really couldn't consider the matter until it had a resigna tion before it. KENSING: \You are agree able to his holding both posi tions?\ DUFFY: \That is his deci sion alone to make.\ KENSING: \You wouldn't care to exercise your persua sion toward getting the resigna tion.\ DUFFY: \I fed it is entirely up to liiin.\ At this point Mayor J. Edward Fox scored with his comment that at budget time both the po lice justice in Mount Kisco and the justice of the peace in New Castle had received raises and had asked for office help be cause their work load was so heavy. \I just don't know,\ the may or said, \how overburdened you can get.\ With the cat cleanly out of the bag, the mayor went on to say, \After all, this is a small com munity and I think we should di vide these things up. Kensing and I are a couple of Democrats and we would be glad to divide them up.\ The two asked again that th.e board try to get the resignation by Dec. 30 so an appointment may be made for the time until the April elections when the voters could select their own police justice. Judge Shulman, who was not at the meeting last night, has an nounced that he will resign from the post but he has not said when. Under village law, if his resig nation comes more than 20 days before the elections, the appoint ment made by the board is only good until elections are held. If it comes within 20 days of elec tions, the appointment made by the board will last for the re mainder of the unexpired term, in this case until April 1, 1965.
