These June days do provide some interesting sights as a person rides around the community. Rev. Quigley and Charles W. Oldfield patching up a couple of washed-out spots on the slope be side the Presbyterian church clock tower. Otto “ Squire ” Hansen operating a lawn mower at Tomkins Cove. And who else could carry that White Owl at such a jaunty angle while operating the grass cutter? A big dredge out in the Hudson sucking up mud from the river bot tom to form a channel for Merritt- Chapman & Scott and the Corbetta Construction Company to float their big dock sections out to mid-river. A good many sidewalk inspec tors are waiting for the flooding of the big basin at Grassy Point to get the dock sections out. Au gust 1 is supposed to be the target day. Mr. W. H. Parkton, now in his nineties, surveys the world from his Hudson avenue porch. On any bright sunny day, his daughter, Miss Jennie A. Parkton, carries her parasol on her 'visits “ down the village. ” What man or woman who was in her classes while she was a teacher will forget Miss Parktbn ’ s firm but fair method of operation? A good teacher like her puts far more than book-learning in the ed ucation of the children entrusted to her for instruction. Farther over the “ Avenue, ” Mr. William Malley is having his res idence painted. Lots of people near the West Shore are using brighter colors on their houses now that the railroad is using diesel loco motives. Some of the “ sick cow ” horns on the diesels are a nuis ance, but they certainly have re duced the dirt from the railroad. Down at the end of Broad street, the sidewalk superintendents had a .treat when Louis Olori ’ s big crane knocked down a big stack head and did other demolition work on the old Excelsior brick plants. This is the first stage of reconstruction of the Excelsior by the Empire State Chair Company. It ’ s going to be quite a job. In the same neighborhood, lx)uis Eve has knocked down the bam and carriage house of the old Der byshire house. The brick are fine and hard, and are being salvaged, and some of the lumber is in pret ty good shape after all these years. Across Liberty street, where the late Lonnie Bedell learned his plumbing trade, Pietro Mannocchi is building an addition to his house. The old extension on the house next to Liberty street was torn down years ago, and the new struc ture occupies that spot. The old building was the Cooper plumbing shop and the Springsteen brothers had their metal working shop there. When the automobile finally doomed the buggy whip, the Glas sing brothers moved their harness shop from Broadway to the shop. How old do you have to be to re member that buggy whip rack by the steps in Glassing ’ s old shop? One of our civil leaders who years ago opposed zoning now has another objectionable commercial enterprise in his residential area. Chickens home to roost. School tests this week.

CAPITOL PLANT STRIKING FOR ITS BACK PAY NEARLY 250 WORKERS OUT IN DISPUTE OVER RAISE APPROVED BY WAGE BOARD Nearly 250 members of Local 464, Textile Workers Union of Amer ica, went on strike at Capitol Piece Dye Works, Inc., in the Haver- straw Industrial Terminal at Gar- nerville Friday morning because of the company ’ s failure to grant re troactive pay specified in a new contract approved by the Wage Stabilization Board three months ago. The union, which covers three operating and one idle piece dye plants at the Terminal, voted May 31 to strike if the retroactive pay provisions were not met by 10 a. m. Friday. R. W. Bates Piece Dye Works, Inc., and Elk Piece Dye Works, Inc., met the provisions in full, un ion spokesmen said. By union con sent, the Bates and Elk employees are continuing in their jobs and are permitted to cross without question a picket line set up by Capitol em ployees at the Terminal entrance. Garnervillc Dye Included Also entitled to the retroactive provisions are some 130 former em ployees of Garnerville Dye Works, Inc., which was shut down “ inde finitely ” three months ago. The union, affiliated with the C. I. O., has a contract with the four companies that is renewed yearly. The present agreement went into effect October 1, subject to W. S. B. approval, calling for a wage in crease of six cents an hour and openings for cost-of-living adjust ments up to two cents. The union was advised April 17 that the board had approved the contract, spokes men said, and Capitol employees were given their first raise under the agreement in their first May paychecks. According to the union, the com panies held out on the retroactive pay — which would have given the employees the full benefit of their raise for the intervening seven months — and instead offered a “ package ” plan to spread the back pay and vacation pay over a 12- month period beginning August 1. Later, the companies reduced this proposal to three payments, Capitol employees explained Tuesday that company officials inserted a “ manpower deal ” into the pre-strike negotiations that would have allowed the plant to lay-off certain employees before the retroactive pay issue could be considered. This, union spokes men said, was out of the ques tion, “ since no relationship exists between the manpower ‘ package ’ and the retroactive pay. ” Meetings were held yesterday between the company and the un ion under the aegis of Samuel Lip- man, chairman of the Garnerville Holding Company, which operates the Terminal. Mr. Lipman saw no hope for a quick end of the strike unless the union agreed to the lay-off. He also foresaw a shutdown of the plant if the strike continues anoth er month. Company officials will not com ment on the strike, but Mr. Lipman said its position is that the lay off is essential for operating ef ficiency during strained times in the textile industry. It is believed the lay-off would affect between 15 and 20 men. Two Proposals Presented At the special meeting May 31 of union employes representing the four companies two proposals were presented for action. One was to accept the three-payment plan and the other to strike if thq back pay provisions were not forthcoming by the deadline. Union spokesmen said that strike action was voted in a secret ballot. , The strike, the first at the Ter minal since October, 1950, may be a lengthy one, according to all in- Continued on page 4 60 Uniforms Orderedfor Little League; Player Try-outs Are Set for Next Week Little League Baseball — actually baseball in a major league at mosphere for youngsters 8 through 12 — will become a reality in Northern Rockland County within the next month. The founding fathers, working feverishly for nearly a month on the project and displaying as much enthusiasm as the prospective Little Leaguers themselves, ordered 60 uniforms, bats, balls, and four catcher ’ s outfits at a meeting Mon day night in the Municipal Build ing and set the dates for next week ’ s tryouts, The North Rockland Little League — that ’ s the organization ’ s official name — will have four teams plus a farm system. Each team will have a sponsor too, and com petent managers and coaches. Most of these have been assigned, and the founders are now busy drum ming up backers. Applications in Schools Players applications have been sent to all public and parochial schools in the area, and the Little Leaguers will report for the try outs next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights at Markham Field after they have filled them out. The try-out schedule is as follows: Wednesday: boys 8 to 10; Thurs day, 11-year-olds; Friday, 12-year olds. The try-outs will be supervised by Pat F. Matone and Coach Ralph Cordisco of Haverstraw High' School, the league ’ s players agents. Mr. Matone said the sessions will start at six o ’ clock and each boy applying to play will receive a number next Tuesday when the notices to report are sent out. The number will be his identity until the team rosters are drawn up. Each team can carry 15 players. Bert Picarello, former Golden Glove boxer and war-time star catcher for the Quonset Point, R. I., Navy team, was appointed Mon day to handle the farm system, designed to train youngsters for the big step to regular Little League competition. John Burkert was appointed official scorer. Games will be played Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and all players will be insured. Ecroyd League President William H. Ecroyd jr is league president and Philip Rotella vice- president. Col. A. C. Spalding is serving as treasurer, and Jack Clark is secretary. 'The board of directors includes Frank Kearsey, Nick Gamboli, Ralph Cordisco, and Frank V. McDermott. Dominic Gamboli, Joseph Carpenter, Joseph Bernardo and Frank LoPresti will manage the teams. The players — and each team is required to carry at least 12 — must have their names registered with the president not later than five days before the opening game, Little League Baseball, a national organization quartered in Will iamsport, Pa., requires each team to have no more than five players aged 12 or less than five players aged H), or younger. Any boy who will not be 13 before August 1 is eligible. Distances between bases are re duced to 60 feet, and the pitching distance is 44 feet. Batters must wear protective headgear and steel spikes are not permitted. Six innings constitute a game. No team is permitted more than five pitchers, and their names must be registered with the president at least 24 hours before the start of the season There are only two changes in the playing* rules. A batter automatically out when he strikes out, even though the catcher drops the ball, and taking a lead or stealing are not permitted. Must Be Non-Profit The Little League ’ s chief pur pose, however, is to sharpen a boy ’ s appreciation of the national past time under conditions that are not found on the comer sandlots. A1 though organized on a national basis, it is designed for community participation and management, cannot be commercialized, and must be amateur and non-profit. Little League Baseball was organized' in Williamsport in 1939 and last season had 776 leagues comprising 60,000 boys. Shankey Appoints Plan Board For Town; Zoning Seen Near From the looks of things around the Bank Corner lately, about one of the nicest things a person could have is a half-interest in a profit able baby-carriage factory. Taft and Ike better not get too bitter at each other. Whoever wins the GOP nod still has to go out and win. And Dewey could tell them it ’ s not in the bag until the votes are all counted. Cover. Supervisor Victor J. Shankey ap pointed a Planning^Board for the town of Haverstraw at the Town Council meeting Monday night and foresaw the action as definitely committing the township to zoning and planning regulations. Haver straw and Stony Point are the only towns in Rockland County not zoned. The appointment of the 5-man board, three members of which are realtors, came after Carl C. Mar cum of Camp Hill presented a pe tition, bearing nearly 100 names, asking the council to give plan ning and zoning “ sincere consid eration. ” Mr. Marcus was appointed to a 5-year term on the board. Other appointees were Euclid A. Long, four years; Quentin E. Lyle, pres ident of the Provident Savings and Loan Association, three years; John Ducey, two years, and Jerry Mas- tromarino, Haverstraw, builder, one year. Many of the petitioners were from the Camp Hill-Mount Ivy area, where it is said residents fear commercial encroachments near their properties. Mr. Mar cum said the Mount Ivy area could be developed residentially to bene fit the township by adding property assessments.

YIELD ON RATE IS NOT ENOUGH COMPANY SAYS BOOST IN 1950 CAME AFTER DELAY; ANSWERS TIMES EDITORIAL The New York Water Service Corporation, which has petitioned the Public Service Commission for a rate increase, said today that the actual amount df the increase is about 14 per cent, “spread quite uniformly over all classes of cus tomers. ” The minimum bill, the company said, would be increased 63 cents per quarter, or about 13 per cent. Present rates went into effect in September, 1950, the company pointed out, alter the P. S. C. had delayed action on the company ’ s application lor more than three years. During the delay, the com pany charged, the plant earnings “ deteriorated so badly that they finally had to grant a 30 pef cent increase. ” The company added: “ The revenues which the P. S. C estimated the new rates would yield were not realized, so we are even short of the amount we were supposed to receive. ” The company also made the fol lowing reply to criticism contain ed in The Times editorial of May 29; 1. Rates charged for fire hy drants were determined by engi neers of the Water Bureau of the P. S. C. They were not suggested or recommended by the company. If hydrant rentals had not been raised, residential customers would have had to make up the differ ence. 2. Since 1946 the company has spent $232,000 in spite of invest ments made without assurance of adequate return. This is equal to about 80 per cent of the rate base at that time. 3. A new main was installed on Gurnee avenue at the cost of $7,600. This brought in no new revenue. Additional fire hydrants, the com pany says, are up to village of ficials and the Fire Department. The officials must decide if the need lor new mains justifies the rate increase. 4. Customers in the Franklin Drive section of Stony Point knew they would not receive 100 per cent service. Another pumping station and an elevated tank could be built to serve the area, and the company asks: “ But who is going to pay lor it? Should the water rates be increased for these cus tomers who desire to live on top of a hill, or should rates lor all cus tomers be raised to provide instal lations for them? ” 5. If the Ambrey reservoir in Stony Point is developed, it will cost as much as $200,000. Addi tional revenue will be needed lor the investment, and unless there is a large growth in new custom ers, the revenue can only come from increased rates. 6. All company property is us ed lor water supply, the value of which is included in the rate base 7. The diversion dam washed out at Stony Point and the hy draulic turbine have been retired and are not in the rate base. 8. The company stock split, ap proved by the P. S. C., has nothing to do with tfie company ’ s rates. The company says it has been operating in a state of poverty lor 20 years, with its “ starvation rates ” being unable to keep the company on a sound basis and at tract new capital. The company pays about $52,000 here in local and Federal income taxes. This amounts to a “ take ” of about 35 cents lor each dollar of revenue received. Bloodmobile Stops at Kirkbride Hall Friday The Red Cross bloodmobile, which was scheduled to be at the Municipal Building Friday, will stop instead at Kirkbride Hall, Letchworth Village, where blood will be collected from 9:45 a. m. to 3:30 p. m.

Wurreschke, Letchworth ’ s Uncle Sam, Dies After Long Illness Francis A. Wurreschke of Gar nerville, who portrayed Uncle Sam for many years in the annual In dependence Day parades at Letch worth Village, died Saturday after noon in the L.etchworth Village Hospital after a long illness. He was 46 years of age and had been employed at the institution for more than 20 years. Mr. Wurreschke, who was well known throughout northern Rock land County, had been ill with { heart condition for more than five years and during most of that time was hospitalized or confined to his home. Several weeks ago he had un dergone a delicate operation on a heart valve at Hahneman Hospital Philadelphia, and returned home May 17. Death was attributed to pneumonia, which set in as a com plication of the surgery. Friends had difficulty pronoun cing Mr. Wurreschke ’ s last name and he was known to most people, even slight acquaintances, only by his first name. As Uncle Sam, and dressed in spangles and the rich red, white and blue colors syn onymous with America, he led many of the Letchworth Indepen dence Day parades, which were discontinued during the second World War. His selection was an apt one, for Mr. Wurreschke was more than six feet tall and resem bled closely the stern and stately figure associated with the U. S. Government on recruiting posters and other symbolic represenations. Mr. Wurreschke was a native of Winston-Salem, N. C., and was a son of tlie late Bernard and Eliz abeth Wurreschke.
