The president outlined the scholarship require ments; Catherine Ryder spoke about character; leadership was defined by Jean Strassburg, and Paul Rose developed the meaning of service. The president then called upon the members to go down into the audience and conduct the candi dates up to the platform.

Bonnaud Continued from page 3 lage made by Mr. Bonnaud is in the lobby of the Charles S. Little Ad ministration Building. In a published statement, Frank lin B. Kirkbride, president of the Board of Visitors of Letchworth Village, said: \Louis E. Bonnaud is the one human being who from the beginning to today has watched with a trained, professional eye, the physical development of Letch worth Village. To him we owe no little debt for the high quality of materials and workmanship which have made the village not only a well-built but an economically op erated plant. ” Capt. Bonnaud found time to work on many community projects. He organized the Thiells Rifle Club as a defense measure prior to World War I, and headed home guard activities here in that per iod. That is when he acquired the title of captain. In World War I, he also worked for the Liberty Loan drives and the Red Cross. He never lost in terest in the Red Cross, and be sides serving as chapter chairman, headed fund-raising committees, became a first-aid instructor, and worked on water safety projects. He gave tremendous help and sup port to the organization of the Hav erstraw Ambulance Corps. During the depression he served without pay as head of the T. E. R. A. for all Rockland County for sev eral months. He did the engineering for the extension of St. Peter ’ s cemetery, working without a fee. He also served the Village of Hav erstraw as engineering inspector on construction work. For many years he was one of the town ’ s tfwo school directors. Besides his many activities for the community, Mr. Bonnaud had many private hobbies. He created an elaborate display showing the life cycle of the silkworm, complete with mulberry trees. He made a portable display of this, which he took around to schools. At his place in Thiells, he raised ducks, geese, rabbits, and various kinds of fruits and vegetables as a hobby. He took great pride in showing visitors through this nat ural history exhibit. At one time, Capt. Bonnaud in vented an anti-freeze compound for automobiles, and worked on other devices. An accomplished lin guist, Mr. Bonnaud always was in terested in European affairs. Some 20 years ago, he made a trip to Russia, traveling all the way from Moscow to Odessa. He gave talks to various groups, relating how he gave his official Soviet escorts “the slip, ” and observed conditions un der the Communists to his own sat isfaction. In his later years he wrote a book entitled “ Francutopia, ” which covered his own conception of a model government and a model land. He prepared the whole manu script of several hundred pages for publication, but never had it print ed. His wide range of interest and activities made him a wonderful citizen. His wonderful, useful life, long an inspiration to many, has come to a close, causing sorrow and regret throughout the county. Obituary COMMUNITY PARTNERS With the increased residential construction and prospects for industrial expansion Haverstraw can look forward to greatly stim ulated business and residential growth. As an ample supply of water is vitally essential to progress, your Water Company must be able to meet the demands for ser vice whicli it will receive in the near future. As domestic water is so scarce in this vicinity our Company must spend large amounts of capital in order to guarantee an adequate supply for our ser vice area. Unlike public bodies we cannot levy increased taxes to provide such funds but must obtain this money from private in vestors. In order to induce these private individuals to invest in Haverstraw, we must have an adequate rate of return so we can assure them they will receive their proper interest or dividends on the money invested. Due to large increases in our local and Fed eral income taxes and increased operating costs, our Company must t have an increase in revenues in order to attract the capital needed. The increase will amount lo about Ic per day for our average residential customer. But this Ic per day is the difference between a sound operating utility and one which is so hard-pressed to raise funds that it will And it diflicult to render adequate service. Water is too important a commodity to let Ic per day stand be- ' tween the consumer and an adequate and secure water supply. Our Company takes pride that, within the framework of its available income, it has tried io render the best possible service in the area. The Company has always invested the capital — from outside sources — to render the service needed by our consumers.
