Y.,- Friday, Feb. 27, 1931 $2.00 per year Macy Work ing On City Investigation Proposes Committee of Lower Ronse Undertake General Investigation of New York City Goremment, Public Sentiment May Be Aronsed to Sup- port Macy. Balked In his attempt to get the votes of the two Westchester Senators. Walter W. Westall and Seabury C. Mastick, for the resolution for a Joint legislative investigation of the Govern- ment of New York City, W. Klngsland Macy, Republican State chairman, now Is considering the possibility of an in- vestigation by an Assembly committee. An Assembly Investigating commit- tee would have just as much authority as a Joint legislative Invesulgating committee, and the Assembly has cpm- plete power to create such a commit- tee without concurrence by the Senate. There is ample precedent for an Assembly committee investigation. In fact, the most successful Investigations of Tammany government of New York Ctty have been by committees from the single house of the legislature rather than by Joint legislelive committees. The Passett committee of 1890 and the Lcxow committee of 1894 and 1895 were Senate committees. The Mazet committee of 1809 and 1900 was an Assembly committee. The Fassett committee, headed by J. Sloan Fassett, revealed payments to city officials for favors, collection of tribute from gambling houses and tes- timony that Tammany assessed office holders from 5 to 10 per cent of their salaries to defray the cost of running the organization. The Lexow commit- tee, headed by Clarence Lexow, with John W. GofI as counsel, disclosed widespread corruption in the Police De- partment, payments to police officials for protection of gambling. vl|e and crime and payments by policemen for appointments and promotions. The re- velations before the committee brought about the defeat of Tammany In the ensuing city election and the election of William L. Strong, a Republican, as Mayor. , The Mazet commit'ee. headed by As- sembiyman Robert Mazet, with Prank Moss and FYancis E. Lalmbcer as coun- sel, conducted a general investigation. Aside frfom further disclosures of po- lice corruption, the revelations at- tracting the greatest public attention were those relating to the so-called ioe trust and the Ramepoo water pro- ject, In which men prominent in Tam- many were shown to be interested, and the relations of Richard Croker, then leader of Tammany, to the City Gov- ernment. It was in this Investigation that Mr. Croker admitted that Judicial candidates had been assessed for cam- paign expenses, and on cross-examina- tion on the witness stand, made this admission: \I am working for my pocket all the time.\ Three Hundred Attend Firemen's Ball Last year's attendance mark was considered high, but last Friday night an official count showed over three hundred In attendance. The crowd this year went In strong for dancing and there was a reason. It was Ernie Krlc- ket and his WOR orchestra literally pulled the dancers to their feet at ev- ry beat of the drum. Tlie hall was flooded in * patriotic decorations of red, wtfite and blue crepe paper In a dozen different designs supervised by our local dance decora- tor, Frank Semaan. The celling was covered with a solid mass of red, white and blue lattice work. ITie ugly \steel posts were wrapped in colors with a novel railing effect reaching from the floor half way up the posts. An attrac- tive scheme of arch ways from post to post and back to post again resembl- ed a winter scene of icicles. Along the walls Individual booths were made of crepe paper. The orchestra setting was extremely pleasing and tastefully done. One large platform was built with an- other smaller and slightly raised at the back. Behind this was a magnlflcient sun burst and above that a picture of George Washington. During itnermisslon all retired to the basement for refresliments where they found plenty of good eats. It was very noticeable that from the time you checked your hat and coat and received a copy of a fifty-six page advertising program, that the commit- tee and all those who gave their time to make the affair a success had played their parts perfectly. The dance was one hundred per cent socially and earned a net of (300. KISHAWANA KICKS Mac announces that he is planning another Turkey Shoot and as soon as he hears all the weather prophets he will set the date. Mac is ready for the first sign of good golfing weather. During the win- ter months he has repainted and posted all the devices necessary for a well equipped course. Special direction and yardage indicators have been made for all the long holes: so the long shoot- ers can tell at a glance Just what club to use and how hard they'll have to bare down to reach the pin. High School Boys Take Notice Boys If you want a real worth while vacation this summer plan to enroll at once in the Cititzens Military Training Camp. No doubt there are many of you who are familiar with all the require- ments, if you are not make it a point to call at Tlie Brewster Standard Office and ask for \Em he has received all the dope for 1931 training camps. Just a few of the basic requirements: You must have reached your 17th bb-th- day and not be over 24 years of age. a citizen of the United Stat^. physically fit and of good moral character, have average general intelligence. Putnam county's quota calls for ten. That target is within easy range and It is hoped that every town in the county will be well rei^rcscntcd. The campaign begins Monday and by March 16 all applications should be in and your physical examination arrang- ed for. Carmel Baptist Church Notes The prophesy of the ojitimists pre- vailed last Sunday. The goal of 150 which hut> Ixien set for Easter was passed when the Sunday school estab- lished «n attendance record of 155. The cloiiely contested attendance campaign between the Philathea class and the men was won by the women by the count of 31 to 30. Miss Mildred Cole's Crusaders was declared the banner class of the month. The items covered In this raUng are: Attendance, offer- ing, bibles present and iJiomptness. The young men's class started Sun- day with lour members and Mr. Chami- cey Craft the teacher. ho]x:s to double this number next Sunday.

Speakeasy Raid Evidence Costs $1800 Detective Employed by Patnam Conn- ty District Attorney Astonishes Sup- ervisors by Presenting Bill for (1,800 In Obtaining Evidence Ag^nst Three Rcsorta. Bills for obtaining liquor evidence against the HUl Country House, Miami Moon and Inn and the Albany Post Lodge totaled $1,800, It was revealed by the Board oi Supervisors of Put- nam county at Carmel when they re- fused to pay the bill submitted by Dan- iel Wolff, former Chief of Police of Yonkera. Astoimded by the bill for the defray- ing of expenses in obtaining evidence against the three raided speakeasies In the county, the supervisors declined to authorize payment. The itemized account was between ten and fifteen pages long and listed such Items as chicken dinners, drinks of r^ie or Scotch whiskey, automobile hire, personal services and others. Hav- ing heard that New York City has at least 25,000 speakeasies, the supervisors Doncluded that It would set a bad pre- cedent for Manhattan If they started paying at the rate of $600 a resort for evidence. At that figure, they esti- mated, it would cost at least $15,000,000 to raid all the metropolitan resorts. District Attorney Alvln D. Pond hir- ed Wolff only for undercover work. The raids were made by public authorities. Wolff, who lives In Yonkers and con- ducts a detective agency In New York City, refused to discuss the matter. The three roadliouses figuring In his bill were the Hill Country House, the Al- bany Post Lodge and the Miami Moon. Mr. Pond said that Wolff had to spend his own funds to buy drinks and other things when he was gathering the evidence, -but denied reports that the county was asked to reimburse the sleuth for chicken dinners and other \luxuries.\ The supervisors are deter- mined not to pay Wolff's bill unless It is subjected to substantial reductions.— Peekskill Dally Union. LEGION LINGO There was plenty of snap at the first rehearsal last Wednesday evening with the Moonlight Serenaders assisting and getting tuned in on the old songs.

The Monday evening session of the assembly, the meethigs of the bank- ing committee and of the military af- fairs committee aiid the Tuesday morning session of the assembly were all attended. Mr. Wells reports that he met many friends 9f Mr. S''ephens and found him to be well liked by his legis- lative associates. Another guest of an- other member was Justice of the Peace Kennett. a brother of the late Floyd Bennett, famous aviator. The spealber of the lower house of the legislature in New Jersey wa5 a guest. Mr. Wells was greatly impressed by the good leliowsiiip among Uie mem- bers, ahowu esiieciaily by a bald lieaded member who allowed our Assemblyman at supper to use the tup of his head as a pad to do some figuriiig on.

''Tom Sawyer\ Coming to Cameo Every boy In America who wants to be an actor can well envy Jackie Coo- gan and Junior Durkin, for this tal- ented pair today sit on veritable thrones of boydom. They are Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn in Paramount's splendidly faith- ful filmizatlon of Mark Twain's im- mortal classic, 'Tom Sawyer,\ the main feature on the bill at the Cameo Thea- tre Sunday and Monday. It is reasonable to supiwse that if a canvass of all boys in America were taken to learn what roles they would prefer to play on the screen, the ans- wers would be overwhelmingly in fav- or of \Tom\ and \Huck.\ For there are no other characters in fiction who better represent the ideals of boyhood than these two. Since 1876, when \Tom Sawyer\ was first published, that book has been read by millions of youths. Thousands have read it several times. Libraries have replenished their supplies of it year in, year out. Thousands have re^ newed their acquaintance with \Tom\ and \Huck\ long after boyhood has passed. * According to some authorities on lit- erature, \Tom Sawyer\ and \Huckle- berry Fin\ are the most widely read books ever written. Long before they had the good for- tune to be aslgned to their parts in the talkie, yotmg oogan and young Durltln knew their fictional prototypes as well as they knew the use of a knife and fork. Jackie had read \Tom Sawyer\ five times. Junior had thrilled to its pages four times. In re]}roducing this epic story for the screen. Paramount liandled the work with painstaking care. The ori- ginal dialog has been preserved almost to tlie letter. The cliaracters. even the most minor ones, are all present in the film version- \Hie atmosphere of the mid-century period is meticulously jjortrayed. Dr* Frank Genovese On Road to Recovery Dr. Wank Oenovese, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Oenovese, of New York, and formerly of Brewster, has made a most remarkable recovery from the most deadly poison known to medical science, streptococcus. Last Sunday morning while perform- ing an autopsy ufion a person who had died from gangrcen a splinter of bone from a rib of the corps pierced through the rubber glove on his right hand and entered the skin at the tip of a finger. Dr. Genovese visited his father In Brewster that same day and later re- turned to the Danbury Hospital, where he was on duty until a late hour. Be- fore he retired the finger pierced by the bone showed signs of swelling and a wet antiseptic dressing was applied, however, early In the morning he was suddenly taken with severe pain under his arm In what Is known as the lyn- phatic glands. His hand and arm be- came terribly swollen. Dr. Genovese announced that he was in a serious condition, but never sus- Iiccted that it was stre]itococcus pois- oning sounding his death warrant. Ar- rangements were made for an immedi- ate operation performed by Dr. Brown- lee. The Injured finger was lanced to relieve the poison gas anrf pus. Meanwhile Dr. Oenovese's mother was called and she made a hurried trip from New York to Danbury as It was not expected that Dr. Oenovese would live more than twenty-four hours. Dr. Genovese's father who was spending the week end in Brewster visiting his brother, Rosarlo, did not learn of his son's serious Illness until Mrs. Genovese returned from the hos- pital. Mr. Genovese at once called his brother. Dr. Seraflno, of Astoria, L. I., who is a skin and blood specialist and when he arrived at the hospital he found his nephew resting comfort- ably. He was pleased with the medical treatment his nejihew had received and after giving him a thorough examina- tion stated that the patient though not entirely out of danger had passed the crisis. On Tuesday and Wedensday Dr. Oenovese showed marvelous Improve- ment and at every meal was eating as much as two men. At this writing ^e are pleased to state that his recovery Is assured and his many friends tn Brew- ster are at liberty to call on him. Though he owes a lot to medical science. Dr. Genovese Is not unmindful of the fact that his youth and fine physical condition were strong elements in stem- ming the tied of streptococcus, the name Itself is deadly enough. After pronounc- ing it twice one would imagine they had a mouth full of the germs and call for a physical examination at once. Dr. Genovese had arranged to open an ofQce in Danbury on Main street corner of White street the day he was taken sick, but In two weeks he ex- pects to have his shingle out for busi- ness. Connecicut to Build Brewster Road School Board Tl^nks Mrs. Wells for Gift F^b. 26, 1031. Mrs. Prank Well^, Brewster, N. Y. Dear Mrs. Wells:— For otu-selves and on behalf of all interested in our school system the members of the Board of Education desire to put on record and to transmit to you. and througli you to Mr. aaid Mrs, H. H. Wells, assurance of a sin- cere apijreclation of yoiu- generous gift. We recognize in it a farsight^d regard for the future. Ihe prospective addition of such an aaeage will give the school a physicial settinif almost unique in its expanse. It ensures protection against undesirable envlronmeiit, preservinii our already imiJresiJve school site from possible detriment. It will furnish am- jjle sjiace for play grounds, greatly needed because of the dangers of the hiKbwa>'s. There will be scoiie for the de\elopmeut of detached play grounds so distributed as to furnish facilities for all. We welcome the suggestion of asso- ciating witli tills tract the name of Major Wells, loug interested and in- fiueutial in matters pertaining to the school. Very truly yours. BOARD OF EDUCATION. Dist. 13. Town of SouLhcust. R. W. GODFRiiy, Clerk. HOWARD TUTTJJE, Pres. The construction of a concrete pave- ment on the Danbury-Brewster highway between the head of Lake avenue and the New York state line will probably be under way within three weeks. Commissioner John A. Macdonald, of the state highway department, called for proiwsals for this work, to be in his hands on March 2 and work is to be commenced as soon as possible after the contracts are awarded. This improvement is one of the most imjwrtant in Danbury's list of project- ed highway changes. The Brewster road is Danbury's most direct connection with New York state and there is a heavy flow of trade to Danbury over that route from all the neighboring towns across the state line. The high- way is also a link in the Bear Moun- tain bridge route, a large section of which, between Brewster and Peekskill is to be reconstructed during the com- ing year. It is expected that the construction of the Danbury end of the highway to Brewster will be followed by early ac- tion on the part of New York state to im])i'ove the part of the road in that state. The New York line is about mid- way between Danbury and Bi-ewster. The contract to be awarded by Con- necticut will provide for the construc- tion of 22,404 feet of pavement.—Dan- bury News. School Athletics Get A Boost S. WUIard Morebonae Expresses Inter- est in Athletic Organization to Pro- mote Good Sports and Stimulate Spirit In the Student Body. February 18, 1931. The Editor of the Brewster Standard: The questions raised by the Rev. Mr. Coleman and the apparently answering report published by you regarding the awarding of B's for football at the High School are very Interesting. The report certainly answers the questions raised as to how the letters are award- ed. The only question that remains to be asked Is this: If there is no student athletic association, then the means selected for awarding letters is fair, but Is there a student athletic associa- tion, and, if not, why not? A student athcletic association would be composed of all the students In the school interested in atheletics, would elect its own student officers, and adopt a constitution In which such matters as the rules for awarding B's would be definitely set down, and from which there could be no deviation except by a regular amending process. To such a student organization there would be added the coaches and the principal as faculty advisors. To them should be given powers of supervising and check- ing student action, but with all the routine details attended to by students. Such a system has advantages all Its own. In the first place there Is Inter- est. In addition to the interest in athletics being enlarged by being a student affair, it stands to reason thnt greater interest would be shown in things the students were arranging than in things arranged for them. In the second place, there would be a friendlier relation between students and coach and principal. A teacher who stands In the role of friendly adviser ha,.- the best possible approach to the student, and the treating of the student as a copartner in an enterprise rath- er than as a green Jersied chessman would go far toward creating that feel- ing. In the third place, the conduct of such offices as students would hold would provide excellent trainhig in management, and the general student body would receive that soundest of all training in cltlzcnsliip, that of choos- ing and electing officers,' and working in accord with a constitution. This plan would not curb the coach In any way. The present situation whereby the coach must do such rou- tine work as arrange games, provide transportation, handle all the financial details, and arrange all the dances, and so on, held for raising money, seems imjust in putting extra work on the coach and in putting him in line for a great deal of public abuse. Under the plan of a student association the coach would conduct all practices, choose the team, make substitutions, as at present, but in such matters as outlined above he would be only check- ing supervisor. The present situation would seem to make athletics a course rather than an activity. If so, why not give 65's and 90's instead of B's? Why have dances and admission fees to sup- port this course when the other courses are supported by the Board of Educa- tion? This plan Is neither new nor unique. It has worked In probably a majority of the High Schools where it has been tried, and, in substance, at least, is universal in the colleges. It is not sug- gested in anything but the friendliest possible spirit, and, entirely Ui the In- terest of reviving the school spirit, the apparent decline of which the writer, along with most of the alumni of his acquaintances so thoroughly deplores.

Brewster Splits With Briarcliff Although very few people from Brew- ster followed the teams to Briarcliff last Friday evening our court defend- ers played two of the best games they have played this season. The girls game was most exciting throughout the first half, as both teams scored equally well. Thus, when the first half ended Brewster-was leading 10-8. The fine playing was continued during the third quarter and the points were very clasc. However, the last quarter was disastrous for Brewster, as the girls seemed to Jose their checking abi- lity and allowed the Briarcliff sextet to sink three more baskets to win the game by the score oJ 22-17. Schumen did the entire scoring for the Briarcliff team while Relyea and Rich did the tallying for Brewster. Since our boys desired most of all to defeat the Briarcliff basketeers the boys game proved to be even more thrilling than the previous girls contest had been. The first half seemed to belong to Briarcliff as it was leading Brewster by the score of 10-13 at the end of the second quarter. Nevertheless, as is often the case Brewster played its hardest In the second half. The score was soon tied and from then to the end It was a tough battle. The score was either tied or one team was leading the other by one point. However, with only one minute left to play Blanco of the Brew- ster quintet made a perfect foul shot. Shortly af:er this shot had been made the final whistle blew and Brewster be- came the victor by the score of 2S-28. GirU BREWSTER P.G P.B T.P.

The matter of the milk supply* while not so prominent In the consid- eration of the authorities and jieople In general, probably needs checking up to satisfy the questions of particular con- sumers. The answer given by one authority as to whether the condition of the water supply is dangerous, is that It is po- tentially so. Possibly a reasonable ans- wer, certainly a safe one. But not the sort to Incite action to change or Inr- prove the methods now in use to in- sure the people are not in danger of typhoid fever or other ills. It Is the general opinion that there is no danger. Health officers are on duty, and as far as is known none of them are courting typhoid for them- •elves, so it is unlikely they would permit^ dangerous conditions to develop without\ warning tlielr fellow citizens of danger. There is a tendency on the part of some people to fear the milk supply as a potenllal source of danger also. For this protection also there is official supervision. So why should not people who have doubts call on the duly con- stituted authorities for a report on the milk supply. No one really desires to be in the po- sition of locking the bam door after the horse Is stolen. So if anyone finds seri- ous public ills that should be remedied the Standard will welcome the opportu- nity to pass the bad news along. We are not, however, eager to advocate' elaborate changes in the public health. administration without reasonable evi- dence that existing conditions are harmful. Compared witli other locaU- ties the health activities In Putnam cotmty stand close scrutiny. The peo- ple are generous In their support of public health work. We may need more toxin anti toxin and additional scales for weighing babies, but all need good milk and water. So ff there must be an upheaval of the present organizations and money ex|>ended for improvements let's start with the milk and water business and let new fields for political patronage take second place at least. 28 Seeks Opinion On Sunday Hunting Miss Cole to Arrange For Chest Clinic The economic as well as the medical and public health problems of tuber- culosis are becoming more and more appreciated by the jieople of our com- munity. Persons suffering from sym- toms referable to the chest may very well have some disease oUier tlian tub- erculosis. These physical handicaps, if projierly diagnosed and treated may re- sult in a satisfactory recovery. Cam- paigns have been conducted for the past two or tliree years with the hope that more iieoijle suffering from tuberculo- sis would have their disease discovered in the early stage, thereby making re- covery more rapid and certain. In order to promote furtlier anil- tuberculosis work in oiu' community the local health officers have requested Miss Cole, Public Health Nurse, to assist in the work of arranging a con- sultation clinic for the diseases of tlie lungs. If present plans materialize, these clinics will be Jield at a conveni- ent place in Brewster.

Heir's « msp who wants to buy our car.—Lafayette Lyre, White Plains, N. Y., Feb. 24, 1931. Dear Sirs:— The Southern New York Fish and Game Association has gone on record as favoring a ban on Sunday htmting in Westchester county only and a num- ber of our members from Putnam coun- ty have asked us to seciu-e the senti'- ment of Putnam county residents as to the attitude they would take regai'd- ing stopping all Sunday hunting ex- cept by landouTiers and lessees on their own pro]>erty. The Association wants to see the sportsmen liave every available oijpor- tunity to enjoy the pleasures of hunt- ing. They have made a careful study of the situation and have consulted landoi^Tiers. farmers and men who know the conditions now confronting all s|iortsmen and they feel that some drastic measures shoiild be taken to improve the conditions. One good conservationist has aptly lemark, \In my opiynion the hordes of Sunday hunters near our big cities have done more to create tlie present strained relations between landowners and sportiimen tlian any other tbbig.\ To stop Sunday hunting in thickly pojiulated areas like Westchester cotm- ty and Putnam would therefore help decidedly to imiJrove ihe lelutions be- tween landowners and all true sports- men. May we ask your pajjer tp print tliis letter so as to inform your readers of the conditions and we hope to recei^'e valuable infoimation on the subject as ti^ Association is only trying to work out a jjlan whereby everyone will have tlie most benefit as we know the average siioilsman would cheei-fully forego all Sunday hunting, go afield on week days, but less often and know tliat he stood some sort of a chance of find- ing someUihig to slioot at. We we the only state this side of the Mis^ilsiiJiJi River that allows Sunday hunting and the result has been Uxat tJie ouu.lde hunter comes in and shoots tlie game tliat rigiitfully belongs to our i;taU; itiJdeiit hunU'r.

Dude Ranch To Occupy Stephens Farm ' Within the coming season the acti- vities of the PuUiam Dude Ranch, Inc.. will transform a large section of the town of Patterson. The 400 acre farm of Assemblyman D. M. Stephens and the farms of Chas. and Wm. Akin, adjoining il. wUI provide 800 acres of woodland and meadow, a splendid thea- tre for horsemen and other sportsmen. The plan of the incorporators is to oc- cupy the old Stephens homestead as a club whUe a large club house of mod- ern artistic design is being construct- ed on a hilltop of the Akin farm. To enhance the landscajie and add to the opiwrtunities for siwrt two lakes will be constructed. Conditions are very favorable for this project as there are fouiteen springs on the Stephens farm alone and the natural contour of Ua^- ti-rrain is very favorable. Notwithstanding tliese new sjxjrting activities Assembiyman Stephens will continue to oi>eiale his dairy farm and muiiitaUi the record for grade A milk Ills herd has consistently rated. Advertising Stimulates Urge for Buying By some real concentrated advertising the sale at Blockley's Men Shoppe is going strong. We maintain that if mer- chants concentrate on advertising 52 weeks in the year sell outs will be re- duced to a minimum. Two hours of thought on your weekly ad will oifset many hours of crabiug about slow- business. No one can stimulate sales, or create a demand unless they con- stantly urge. urge, uige and forever keep on UJifing jjcople. Advertising is the life of Uade and now tliat compe- tition is keen hi every line hi Brewster it behooves even those who feeJ Uiat a show window and a sign are suflicient to bring customers bounding into ibeir places of business and suut a buying rush on articles of mercliandi&e that people never knew they hud in their stoi-es. We dare say that there are but a mtre handful of i>eople who could give a fair list of the vajious articles of meix-haiidise sold by any Uiree mer- cliauts in Brewstei'. Until the merchant can install some sort of television appa- ratus by which tliey can put u jjicture of the iuteiiar of Uieir stores before peo- ple as they sit in their homi^ and point and shout about what tliey have to sell, tbtai we will agree that the newspaper has lust one of iUi clilef purixjses; thus ihLJ'c would be no cause for this article.
