MILLER ’ S The REXALL Drug Store PRESCRIPTION PHARMACISTS 13 Broadway HA 9-2400 ROCKLAND COtINTY THE TIMES MILLER ’ S The REXALL Drug Store PRESCRIPTION PHARMACISTS 13 Broadway HA 9-2400 VOL. XLIV. NO. 25 HAVERSTRAW, N. Y., MAY, 15, 1952 TELEPHONE HAVERSTRAW 2000 PRICE TEN CENTS THE BANK CORNER The whole town is talking about the triplets born to Dr. and Mrs. Girling. Everybody thinks it ’ s won derful, and then they ask you, \If one triplet baby cries, do they all cry? ” Realizing full well the prob lems the couple will face, every body wishes the doctor and his wife good luck. And for the new arrivals, good health is the wish of all. Such weather for May. First we have a lovely day. Then we have a rain. Then it's cold. The boys from this vicinity all around the world in our country ’ s service wouldn't C£ft*e if it ’ s snowing; they ’ d just like to see the dog wood around our Hudson valley. We get a lot of fun out of read ing the papers. The other day we read that the Army Chief of Staff told a Congressional committee that all regular infantry divisions are now out of the country; The immediate reaction was to wonder why he just doesn ’ t send the Krem lin a blueprint of our troop dis positions. The second reaction is why must the big brass always shoot its mouth off for newspaper consumption. In a democracy, people are sup posed to know what ’ s going on. But we sometimes wonder if the military men aren ’ t too specific in their disclosures of our resour ces and weapons. Too bad Truman doesn ’ t send for the conductor of this depart ment. We could tell him how to run everything. Yes, sir, if you want something done right, do it yourself. Espec- ' ially if you know something about it. Lately there has been a rash of incidents where strange men in cars start chasing automobiles with women driving alone, especially in the evening hours. It ’ s a good safe ty rule to keep your car doors lock ed from the inside at all times. Veteran drivers in auto thrill shows always do it. They say it makes the car safer in case of mishap. The Air Force wants the air raid warning towers around the coun try operating on a 24-hour basis, like we had in World War II. Some people will say it isn ’ t necessary. Of course the U. S. Government is spending billions on air defense. Those in charge of this defense say it ’ s a good idea to have the warning towers in action all the time. Yet some people will tell you it isn ’ t needed. Like going to the doctor and then refusing to follow his advice. We hire professional airmen to defend the country and then don ’ t think we ought to do the one thing they request at the local level. That doesn ’ t make much sense. Fortunately, there will be enough patriotic sensible men and women to run the air raid tower as requested by the Air Force. We remember, early in World War 11, one citizen said the tower was a silly operation. As more and more men left for mil itary service, he got in the volun teer service. Before the thing was over, he was serving a hitch him self every week, and three other members of his family were per forming hours of duty on the tow er. We expect the same kind of thing to happen again this time. N.Y. WATER CO. ASKS NEW HIKE IN LOCAL RATES RESIDENTIAL USERS TO PAY ABOUT Ic A DAY EXTRA UNDER REVISION The New York Water Service Corporation, which provides the water supply for the north Rock land County area, has asked the Public Service Commission for a rate increase that will add about $18,000 yearly to company funds and increase by approximately a cent a day the rate for residential customers, it was announced Mon day. John J. Byrne, manager of the Haverstraw office at 3-5 West street, said the petition for higher rates has been caused by tax in creases and higher operating costs. Moreover, he pointed out that the rapid building growth in the area has required spending of large amounts of capital to keep pace with it and that private investors in the company must be assured an adequate rate of return. The company was granted a rate increase by the P. S. C. in 1950. Since then, Mr. Byrne said, local taxes have increased by $3,700, Federal income taxes by $14,600 and operating costs, including pay rolls, by $14,000. Since the rate in crease, company costs have risen $32,000. Rates Effective June 7 The proposed new rates would go into effect June 7. They cover metered customers, those paying on a minimum charge basis, and fire protection service. A complete table of the proposed revision will be found on the next-to-the-last page of The Times. In explaining the need for the increase, Mr. Byrne said his com pany \has made every effort to economize and reduce its costs, but the spiral of inflation has been so rapid that we are not able to off set the increased costs with oper ating economies. ” He said that the “ most import ant problem ” which the company has is the area ’ s gi'owth. \We have been adding about 156 new homes each year, ” he said, “and from present indications the growth in 1952 will greatly exceed this fig ure. ” Mr. Byrne said that domestic water is \scarce ” in the area and the company has been spending large amounts of capital to guar antee an adequate supply, which he said is \absolutely essential ” to the community ’ s progress. He pointed out, too, that the company must be able to meet the demands of new industry coming here. \This means, ” he said, “ we must raise large amounts of capital from outside sources. ” Difference of a Cent Mr. Byrne emphasized that the cent a day increase for residential customers means the “ difference between a sound operating utility and one which is so hard-pressed to raise funds that it will find it diffi cult to render adequate service. ” He added: \Water is too im portant a commodity to let one cent per day stand between the con sumer and an adequate and secure water supply. Our company takes pride that, within the frame work of its available income, it has tried to render the best possible service in the area. The company has always invested the capital- from outside sources — to render the service demanded by our con sumers. ” COURTNEYS LEAVE FOR EUROPE The druggists are now faced with a lot of new regulations on filling old prescriptions. In addi tion to the narcotics, there are a lot of other prescriptions which now cannot be refilled without a specific order from the doctor. The pharmacist ’ s lot is not al ways a happy one. Be.sides having to know about ten or twenty thousand items, he is supposed to stock about 5,000 of them. Work ing retail store hours and a few more besides, the druggist has to be a chemi.st, a merchandiser, a confidant, and a mighty careful mechanic. So now he has a few more regulations to contend with. Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. Courtney photographed on the S. S. Mauretania just before sailing for Ireland Friday. In addition to their tour of the \Emerald Isle, ” they also will visit England and France, returning home early in June. Prendergast Succeeds Stokes'as President Of Ambulance Corps New officers were elected Mon day night by the Haverstraw Am bulance Corps in the Municipal Building. President George Stokes, who has done an outstanding job, will be succeeded by Vice Presi dent Michael H. Prendergast, who will be succeed by Captain Wil liam Schuler. , Bertis L. Foley was elected cap tain, William Johnston first lieu tenant, and William A. Uhl second lieutenant. Mrs. Gertrude Schou was re-elected secretary and Char les D. Engle treasurer of the corps. Mr. Stokes was elected a trus tee. The holdover trustees are Dr. George W. T. Watts, James J. Freeman, Charles M. Wurm, and William J. McCabe. The Rev. Thomas Scanlon is chaplain. Mr. Foley, a qualified first aid instructor, emphasized the con tinuing need of more trained first aiders. He said the needs of civ ilian defense are for more first aid, a prime requisite of ambulance corps work. Plans were discussed for the an nual financial drive, to begin June 1. Mr. Wurm is chairman of the drive, and will be assisted by offi cers of the corps. One new member was voted in to the corps, and an application was received from another. Re cruitment of new members, es pecially for the daytime shifts, is under way. Somebody ought to organize a campaign to have people throw out old medicine bottles. Drugs are made up of all kinds of veg etable, mineral, and synthetic pro ducts. They must change as tliey get older. Maybe the druggists ought to put a sticker on the bot tle like camera film. Something that would read; \Use before such and such a date. ” Imagine some old skinflint using up the medicine before he had to throw it out, just because the date was about to expire. Even if he didn ’ t need it, he couldn ’ t waste it. A Maple avenue lady walks her Continued on page 4 Nick Picarello Buys Former Staubacli Mkt. Morrill ’ s Market at 17 New Main street has changed hands again, it was announced this week by Everett Morrill of Stony Point, who purchased the business almost two months ago from Joseph Staubach and his son, Joseph jr.

STONY POINT VOTES TUESDAY ON SCHOOL SITE DECAMP PROPERTY SEEN GOOD BUY FOR DISTRICT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE School District No. ^2, Stony Point, will vote next Tuesday on the purchase of 31.55 acres of land between Washburn lane and Cen tral Highway for use as a school site. Voting will take place be tween 1 and 9 p. m. at the gram mar school building on west Main street. The land, known in the town ship as the DeCamp property, is priced at $26,000. The purchase, which has the backing of the Board of Education, will be made with $10,000 set aside in a special school site fund, $6,000 from the surplus of the 1951- ’ 52 budget, and $11,000 from the issuance of two- year tax notes. Financing the note is expected to raise school taxes by $3 for each $1,000 of assessed valuation. A discussion meeting, attended by about 70 persons, was held at the grammar school Monday night. Spokesmen for the board empha sized three main points for the purchase: 1. 25-acre parcels of land are disappearing fast from the real es tate market in District 2. 2. Whether centralization be comes a reality or not, the district will be assured a school site when it is able to build. 3. If centralization is consider ed, the district will be in a better bargaining position if it has a school site as an accomplished fact. Mrs. Francis Davis, president of the board, pointed out that if cen tralization fails, the district must have available land to put up a new elementary school at least. Lewis Bucking questioned the advisability of buying property with no sizeable road frontage and only two rights of way off Central Highway and the lane. It was pointed out that the board feels that a center piece of property is advantageous, removing school, play and parking areas automati cally from a dangerous area with out the need to buy additional property to acquire protection. The school site will be open for public inspection Sunday from 2 to 5 p. m., when a board member will be present to answer queries. Strike at Trap Rock Settled; 4 Plants Resumed Work Today A three-week-old strike at the four Hudson River plants of the New York Trap Rock Corporation ended yesterday. The company ’ s plants at Haverstraw, Tomkins Cove, Vcrplank and Clinton Point had been strike-bound since April 28 after the company was unable to negotiate a new contract with Local 60, International Hodcarriers, Building and Common Laborers Union of America, A. F. L. Members of Local 60 established picket lines at the plants, which were shut down when members of two other A. F. L. unions refused to cross them, although they were not on strike. These unions are Lo cals 825, 825-A and 825-B, Inter-, national Union of Operating Engi neers, and Local 445, Internat ional Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers, of America. The company, which has a large market for crushed stone in the Metropolitan New York area, sign ed new contracts with the locals of the operating engineers March 31, providing for 13 per cent wage increases. The agreement reached yesterday with Local 60 was sub stantially the same, and all plants resumed operations this mofning. Negotiations between the com pany and the union brightened this week and included Harry Winning of the Federal Mediation and Con ciliation Service at the counsel table. No violence was reported as a result of the picket lines here and at Tomkins Cove, although the Haverstraw plant requested reg ular police patrols early in the strike: According to Joseph D. Fack- enthal, executive vice-president of the company. Local 60 had been offered a percentage increase which amounted to 19 cents an hour across the board. Under the old contract, the laborers ’ hourly pay rate was between $1.50 and $1.80. Mr. Fackenthal said today that negotiations for a new contract with Local 445 are still continuing. About 112 employees are members of the local that struck. STONY POINT SCHOOL SITE Voters of the Stony Point School i District 2 will go to the polls next' Tuesday between 1 and 9 p. m. to vote on the purchase of the De- Camp property as a future school site. We believe the people of the dis trict should favor the purchase of the site. The site is good property. At the present rate of growth of the town, it may in the near future become difficult to assemble a similar site for anything like the same money. The time to buy is now. Purchase of the site will give Stony Point a good bargaining point in any centralization plan. It will show good faith in that Stony Point will be bringing a definite contribution into tlie plan. Other districts will contribute modern school plants to a centralized dis trict. If Stony Point can contribute a good school site, it will increase chances of co-operation by other districts. If the centralization plan should, for one reason or another, fail to go through, the Stony Point school district will still have a good school site. No matter what develops, the district will be in a better position to plan for the future.
