The sun seems to be out for a while, birds are flocking north, hyacinths and daffodils are pok ing their heads above* the recent ly defrosted soil and for all we know the swallows may be re turning to Capistrano, but the best harbinger of Spring in these parts, is the return of the J. Blan van Urks* of Peterville Farms, Mount Kisco, from a two-month sojourn in Southern Pines, South Carolina. These two people who started their careers in the journalistic field, have used their training as an implement to take them on to the breeding of race horses and following the hounds.

Eight of the new teachers will be placed in the secondary level a nd five in elementary schools. The eight secondary teachers approved are broken down as follows: one latin teacher, two mathematics teachers, one science teacher, one remedial reading teacher, one shop teacher, one social studies teacher, and one English teacher. A continually in creasing student population has made this additional staff neces sary it was stated. The problem at the junior and senior high school level is compounded by the fact that as larger classes move up each year, more class sections are needed in some subject areas, the high school principal reported. With expanding elementary school enrollments, an official pointed out, Bedford Village will need an additional first grade, Bedford Hills School another first grade, Mount Kisco another sixth grade and Pound Ridge School an additional teacher in both the first grade and sixth grade. It is estimated that enrollments will be up by approximately 30 in Bedford Village School, 15 in Bedford Hills School, 22 in Mount Kisco School, and 31 in Pound Ridge School.

Final decision has been defer red until April 15 when the board holds its next monthly ses sion at Town House, Bedford Hills; in the interim, according to board chairman DeForrest Hib- bard, the appeals board will ask a ruling from Town Attorney D. W, Ticknor to determine whether the petitioner's request can be grant ed by the appeals board or will require a change of zoning. Two members of the appeals board said Continental's request is a matter for the town council to set tle in view of.the fact the com pany wants.to build a commer cial structure in a residential- zoned district. Mr. Hibbard .said the proposal is \out of character\ wim Bedford planning and sug gested that it be tabled until the board receives a ruling from the town attorney. William V.

The office building, he said, \would beautify the entrance to Bedford Village.\ Mr. Lawrence said his company plans to have a real estate office in the building and it would also be available for \related use\. He said there would be no zoning violation or com mercialization stemming from the proposed undertaking. Kenneth Chamberlin and his wife, Evelyn, of Vinton Road, Bed ford, wrote the board asking that the application be denied and Mr. Chamberlin also appeared at the March 18 hearing to express fur ther opposition. He agreed that the office building would improve the appearance of the site but said its erection would be contrary to plans the town has for future expansion of Bedford Village. He said similar requests for variances would be asked by other Bedford business firms if Conti nental's application were approved! and warned that a \bad prece dent\ would be established. Telephone Co. Garage Decision was also postponed un til April 15 on three other appli cations for variances including re quests by Burbank Motors Inc. and Nu-Trend Motors for permis sion to install underground gaso line storage tanks in Bedford Hills and a request by Joseph Perry for a permit to erect a concrete garage on Norm Avenue, off Bed ford Road, in Bedford Hills. The one story structure, 144 feet wide and 151 V 2 feet long, will be used by New York Telephone Co, for storage of service trucks, a spokes man for the petitioner told the board. Appeals board approval is required because the garage site doesn't front on a public highway. The appeals board was told that a few minor revisions would be made in original plans to over come objections voiced by Arnold Bakery Inc. which will erect a new plant near the site. No objec tions to the Perry application were heard by the appeals board last week. William A. Kelly won unanimous approval of his request to make an addition to his home at Ka- tonah.
