MILLER ’ S The REXALL Drug Store PRESCRIPTION PHARMACISTS 13 Broadway HA 9-2400 THE ROCKLAND COUNTY TIMES MILLER ’ S The REXALL Drug Store PRESCRIPTION PHARMACISTS 13 Hroadwar HA 9-2400 VOL. XLIV. NO. 38 HAVERSTRAW, N. Y., AUGUST 21, 1952 TELEPHONE HAVERSTRAW 2000 PRICE TEN CENTS THE BANK CORNER The ambulance has been so busy the past week in Haverstraw we wonder how the community got along without it. Everybody is going somewhere on vacation. Some people must be going to Saratoga, but we don ’ t see news items about it. They could be going to the Spa. Not everbody goes to the pari-mutuel windows, although it's perfectly legal. Some people might better go to the track and lay their dough where the odds are posted than indulge in some of these skin games. Especially where there is outside talent. We read of gangsters and rack eteers setting up legitimate busi nesses and operating them profita bly as “ front ” for some of their otrer activities. What about a leg itimate business whose owner is sucker enough to let the premises be used for a game? And then lets himself get sucked into it and loses his own dough besides. How far can you go on chump road? The newspapers in New York have discovered there are people who really live the life of wine, women, and song. The Jelke story chased the war and everything else right off the front pages. Self- respecting models will soon have to pick another name for their oc cupation. Every little tramp pick ed up in one of these messes seems to be a “ model. ” Certainly not a model of good behavior. The case is certainly getting a wonderful play in the papers, con sidering that only a few people have thus far been involved. There seems to be no telling whether the New York Central railroad is going to have a strike or not. It better get settled. Freights on the West Shore are getting smaller and smaller. Ap parently the shippers are taking no chances while the strike threat ens. The rumors of the strike are apparently cutting the freight bus I iness right down. In any event, the regular daily freights on the local railroad seem to have far fewer cars than normally. It ’ s pretty hard to run a rail road without freight. Like having movies without cus- Ij tomers. The movie people aren ’ t doing so bad. What with popcorn and a f few other things, they manage to keep the revenue up. Maybe the Federal government will soon take a hand in the movie-TV war. After all, that 20 per cent tax on the movie admissions is quite a siz able chunk of money. Maybe a tax cut and a drop in admission prices might help the movie business. Last year the' Federal tax on the tickets was five times the pro fit the industry made. We have news for a law man. Anybody caught making book sel dom has a second chance. Permanent separation from the job is the first penalty. If you have wondered why so many out-of-state licenses are seen so often around North Rock land and away from Route 9W, think of the Algonquin pipe line being laid across Call Hollow and up to Tomkins Cove. The people on that kind of job travel right with the work. Their cars are registered from Louisiana, Kan sas, and all over. Michael Koval and Thomas Rob erts, delivery men for the Bee Hive, are getting to be globe trot ters. Last week they delivered load of furniture all the way to Cape May, N. J. “ It was nothing over the Turnpike ” says Mike. This week, the poor man is not so <»hipper. A ligament in his leg is giving him trouble, and he is at his Garnerville home. The tire company bazaar will just have to operate without him. Who would think a cop would give out a rubber check? Officers are not supposed to make mistakes in adding up their check stubs. MEN INJURED AS CAR DRIVES INTO PORCH VEHICLE, IN COLLISION, HURTS TWO SERIOUSLY IN GARNERVILLE LAST NIGHT A 1951 Buick careening from a collision at the entrance of the Haverstraw Industrial Terminal in Garnerville struck down four men standing on a porch nearby Wed nesday night and inflicted serious injuries on two of them. The car, driven by Michael Del- loro of 65 Railroad avenue, West Haverstraw, sheared the small porch from a three-story apart ment house close to the Terminal gates and smashed into the men head-on. All four men were tak en to Good Samaritan Hospital, Sufforn, in the Haverstraw ambul ance. Most seriously injured were Al bert Gonzales and Douglas Cuban, a Marine stationed at Cherry Point, N. C. Gonzales sustained possible compound fractures of both thighs, a broken right leg, and a possible fracture of the skull. Cu ban received a possible fracture of the pelvis. Two Sustain Abrasions The other two men, Frank Cab- era and Jose Perez, sustained ab rasions. The injured were treat ed at the scene by Dr. Julius Co hen of Haverstraw and the three- man ambulance crew. All were staying at the house, located at 14 Railroad avenue adjoining the Terminal gates. The accident took* place at about 6 o ’ clock as Delloro was driving east on Railroad avenue. He told Patrolman Frank Albert of the town police that his car was thrown out of control when a 1937 Plymouth sedan driven by Amib- al Rodriquez of Allison avenue, Haverstraw, struck it in the right rear at the intersection of Railroad avenue and the Terminal entrance. Delloro ’ s car, going parallel to the house, mounted a broad mac adam sidewalk, crashed through a picket fence, and hurtled into the men. The car tore off the porch flooring and sent a wooden shing led canopy above it crashing to the ground. The porch was razed completely and the men were scattered about five feet from where they were standing. The car came through the fence like a tank, pushing all before it, and stopped facing east in the yard. Drivers Uninjured According to police, Rodriguez was driving from the Terminal en trance. His car is owned by Louis Arocho of 63 Main street, Haver straw, who was riding with Rod riquez. They were not injured, nor was Delloro. The accident happened so quick ly that the men had no forewarn ing and were unable to get out of the way. There were conflict ing stories of the cause. Rodriquez claimed that Delloro hit his car, and witnesses at the house said Delloro had not been driving through on Railroad avenue but had just turned around in Zugibe ’ s gas Station across the street. Delloro charged Rodriquez with reckless driving, and he will ap pear on the charge Monday at 8 p. m. before Police Justice Louis W. Millen. Patrolman Albert char ged Rodiquez with driving with improper plates and Arocho with allowing him to operate the car under these circumstances. The car had plates registered for a Chevrolet. Freed in §25 Bail Each man was freed in $25 bail at an arraignment after the acci dent before Judge Millen in the Garnerville firehouse. Bail was posted by Louis Eve of Haver straw. Damage to Delloro ’ s car was estimated at nearly $1,000. The accident was reported first to Haver.straw village police, and Patrolman Albert was notified from headquarters here. Arriving on the scene, he called for the doctor and the ambulance. In the ambulance crew were William Johnston, Alex Schassler and Ber- Us E. Foley. Gonzales ’ legs were splinted before his removal to the hospital. A fire alarm had sounded in West Haverstraw at about the same lime, and traffic was tied up on Railroad avenue for nearly an hour. In addition, dozens of spec tators clogged the scene. Bernard Helbig Drowned Near Croton Shore in River Storm Bernard Helbig of 33 Middle street was drowned in the Hudson off Croton Point Saturday after noon during a terrific line storm that swept him from the stern of his 16-foot boat^into the river. His body was recovered Monday after noon near Ossining, between 2\k and 3 miles from where the trag edy took place Helbig, 32, a strapping man of average height, the father of three small children, was cast overboard by a huge wave and disappeared into the darkened, storm-tossed waters soon after crying for help. With him in the croft but unable to save him was Charles Bednar, 25, of West street. Helbig and Bednar put out from the dock at Fishermen ’ s Roost, at the foot of Main street, between 1;30 and 2 o ’ clock the same after- out the anchor. Bednar had al-i ready done this, but the fury of the storm was so great that the anchor was useless, and the boat kept moving. Within an instant after shouting to Bednar, Helbig was lost in the churning river. Those who knew him said Hel big was a good swimmer, and for this reason it is believed he may have struck his head when he went under, possibly on the propeller blades or on the underside of the boat. The wave which washed Helbig overboard nearly capsized the craft and Helbig, busy with the “ spinner ” used to turn the engine, had nothing to support himself. Bednar was clutching the side of the boat. According to Croton police, Theodore Sherdloom, employed by the New York Central Railroad at noon to go crabbing and fishing at ^I^® West Croton yards, reported to a point off the Croton Point shore them that the boat was in distress, famous for its abundance of thejl^^l later W- Maur of Glendale saltwater food. The storm hit Ihe'^oad, Ossining, said the boat seem- i Maybe they should be like that woman in the Bronx; keep their money in a paper sack. Or maybe an old fashioned money belt. But most of the gendarmes have ‘ cor poration ’ enough without adding a money belt. Any cop could tell you he can ’ t keep up with, inflation on his present salary, and has no need for a money belt to stash the dough away. Whatever became of those quiet primary elections? MISS MILLER WINS PRIZE Miss Nancy Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Le.slie Miller of Stony Point, was awarded second prize for her riding in the horse show held August 12 at the Hillsboro Camp, Hillsboro, N. H., where she has been vacationing for the past five weeks. Miss Miller also participated in the camp ’ s water ballet. She will return home over the weekend with her mother and father, who will leave Saturday for Hillsboro. river in full fury about an hour! later, and the accident was report ed to Croton police at 4;10. The drowned man, who was known to his friends as Bernie, was warned against going out by Joseph Flurchick, proprietor of Fishermen ’ s Roost and a riverman with a first-hand knowledge of the Hudson under storm conditions. The line storm had not been fore cast, but a blow seemed in the making, and it had been raining most of the day. The boat, which Helbig owned himself, was rigged for sails and a kicker. Helbig and Bednar puf out under the power of the engine, and during the storm, at a point about a quarter of a mile from the Croton Point shore, the engine conked out. Helbig, clad in blue bathing trunks and a lightweight gabar dine raincoat, went to the stern ledge to get the kicker operating again. He was washed overboard while lashing the ignition into op eration. Bednar, a close friend, told Lt. Lawrence Manion of the village police that Helbig cried for help and then directed him to throw Company Cleans Main, Water Is Shut Off The Gurnee avenue area was without water service- for several hours Wednesday and again on Thursday as the New York Water Service Corporation cleaned the water main beneath the street. The service was off for six hours one day, and eight hours another. Because the water main is not large enough to permit the passage of one type of main cleaning de vice, the company had to open the street in four places. This permits the machine for cleaning the mains to be pulled through from one excavation to the other. The work is expected to be completed this week. ECROYD IS NOMINEE The Haverstraw Republican Committee Wednesday nominated William H. Ecroyd sr of West Haverstraw for school director to fill the vacancy created by the death of Louis E. Bonnaud, Dem ocrat. MAIL TRUCK ON FIRE A panel mail truck owned by Angelo Frasco of Hudson avenue: caught fire Wednesday morning. The blaze was put out by William A. Uhl with an extinguisher be fore the arrival of firemen. A chief ’ s call had been sounded. UNION BARBECUE SATURDAY Local 464, Textile Workers Un ion, C. I. O., will hold a barbecue on Saturday at Sam ’ s Boat Club on the river front. Out for Senate cd to be headed back to Haver straw under its own. power, Maur finally put out in his own craft, heard Bednar ’ s story, and took him to Croton to report the tragedy. Soon after, with Bednar showing them the approximate lo cation, police began dragging the river. Later Saturday, Mr. Flurchick, Joseph (Smitty) Koval, and Dan Carnell, joined in the dragging for Helbig, who was well known to them. Charles (Josh) Simpkins and William A. Uhl also took part in the search for the body, which continued throughout Sunday. Bednar was brought back to Hav erstraw by speedboat, and Hel- tig ’ s craft was left at Croton Point Park. Helbig, who had a shock of curly blond hair and an ever-present smile, was employed by the West Shore. It was his custom, Mrs. Flurchick told a reporter Monday, to put out in his boat soon after arriving home from work and spend the next four hours or so crabbing and fishing. Helbig was drowned off Croton Point beach near No. 4 buoy and Continued on page I' State ’ s Financial Aid To Local Governments Soared 114% in 10 Yrs.

The Comptroller said that 55.4 cents of each dollar spent by the state in 1951-52 was distributed as local assistance, while 44.6 cents was used for operation of the state government itself. New York City ’ s share of state financial aid in the pa.st decade in creased by $127,552,000, from $127,300,000 in 1941-42 to $254,- 852,000 in 1951-52.

It dropped from $736,200,000 to $706,400,000 as of last March 31, More than half of the state debt consists of World War 11 bonus obligations and housing bonds. The bonus debt is being reduced at the rate of $30,000,000 a year. It will be paid off by 1958, Comptroller McGovern said that the stale had earned $30,513,569 in 1951-52 on investment of state funds.

He was always ready to see that “things got done, ” and his counsel on the board, which came from a well-spring of independent thought, was always sought.

SIUNKEY WINS PRIMARY VOTE, WON ’ T ACCEPT DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR TREASURER FOILS CIANCIMINO ’ S WRITE-IN John 'F. Shankey, Haverstraw Ford dealer, has been nominated for County Treasurer on the Dem ocratic ticket and has decided to decline the nomination, it was an nounced today. Mr. Shankey was named in a write-in vote at the Democratic primary Tuesday, when Salvatore J. Ciancimino, Re publican incumbent, also received a number of write-in votes on the Democratic ballot. Of the 710 votes cast in the Democratic primary in Rockland County, 222 wrote in Mr. Shank- ey ’ s name, and 129 wrote in Mr. Ciancimino ’ s name. In Haverstraw 251 Democrats voted — 54 for Shankey and 87 for Ciancimino. The primary vote was only one of the events surrounding the short-lived candidacy of Mr. Shan key. The sequence provided a pol itical episode that can only be described as weird. Candidate Sunday On Sunday Mr. Shankey infor med Michael H. Prendergast, coun ty chairman, that he would be a candidate. The chairman made an announcement to that effect in Monday ’ s Journal-News, the coun ty ’ s only daily newspaper. Monday night, at a meeting of the Rockland County Democratic executive committee in the Mun icipal Building, Mr. Shankey ’ s uncle, Supervisor Victor J. Shan key, announced that his nephew was not a candidate. On Tuesday, Mr. Shankey ’ s father, Vincent A, Shankey, with whom he is assoc iated. in the automobile business, confirmed this statement. Mr. Shankey was home in bed with a severe attack of laryngitis and a chest cold. These events moved so rapidly that many of the voters who went to the polls on Tuesday were not. informed. Only 339 write-in votes were cast for county treasurer, al though 710 people voted. Although Mr. Ciancimino ’ s name was spell ed at least seven ways, the Board of Elections counted all the v'otes,, and counted the votes for Mr.. Shankey even where his middle initial was not used. , \ Declined Wednesday* ^ On Wednesday, Mr. Shankey said he would file a letter of de clination as candidate for county treasurer. The committee . on va cancies will have to U'y to find an other Democratic candidate for the treasurership. Frederick G. Car- nochan, who was named for the of fice early this summer, died Au gust 3. The primary vote reveals some interesting details. Although Mr. Ciancimino carried Haverstraw, Mr. Shankey won in the other towns. He got 18 votes in Piermont,, 18 in Tappan, and 19 in two Shanks Village districts. The vote by towns: Votes Shan. Cian.
