' MoVtfc Westchester Times, Mf. Kisco, N. Y., Nov. 27, 1958 County Park Commission Vetoes Pound Ridge Plan A proposal by County Executive Edwin G. Michaelian that, a sports men's center be established on a section of Ward Pound Ridge 'Reservation was rejected unani mously on Nov. 19 by the West chester Park Commission. The idea of the sportsmen's cen ter itself did not die. The Park Commission, through its Superin tendent Charles Pound, announced it would consider other park areas including Blue Mountain Reserva tion in Cortlandt. The Park Commission acted aft- er> discussing the matter for an hour. Th& erection of the center at Ward Pound Ridge \would not be compatible with the present and proposed future development\ of that reservation, the Park Com mission said through Pound Pound said that mail, telegrams and petitions were considerably heavier against the Pound Ridge site than for it. In addition, mail received by the Westchester Board of Supervisors through Monday was unanimously against the idea 2 Sites Approved Michaelian made his recommen dation on Os*. 31. He said that either of two sites in the Poun3 Ridge Reservation, a 4,180-acre woodland, was more favorable than a 50-acre tract in Blue. Moun tain, A Sportsman's Advisory! Committee had reported to Mi chaelian that it approved the three | sites. The sportsmen's center would I have included facilities for arch ery, rifle and pistol shooting, skeet and trap shooting, fly and bait casting, field trials with hunting dogs and other outdoor sports. Residents of the northeastern. Westchester town of Pound Ridge | quickly rose to protest Michae- lian's proposal. They were joined by others in the county, mainly flower clubs and conservation groups. Chief objections were listed as j noise, danger from gunfire, traf-| fic congestion on country-type roads and that the original idea of the reservation was to keep itf a quiet restful place for game and; picnicking and hiking. Second Clash The Park Commission is headed] by Evans Ward of Port Chester. It was the second time one of his groups had clashed head-on with Michaelian. The Westchester Park- f way Authority, of which Ward is chairman, had opposed Michaelian on choice of engineers to plan part of the Hutchinson River Parkway reconstruction, an idea which has since been shelved. $773 FOR UNICEF BRIARCLIFF MANOR — Final figures in the Pennies for UNICEF collection made by Briarcliff and area children on Halloween, was announced today by Mrs. Martin Parker, chairman.

The federal govern ment, however, rejected any plans for gunfire, killing the idea there. Pound, however, is hopeful of ac quiring George's Island from the U. S. government for general park purposes. The ultimate cost of the Sports men's center was estimated at $200,000 Area Group of Vassdr Club Opens Scholarship Drive The northern Westchester group of the Westchester Vassar Club has opened its annual scholarship campaign to raise $350 to fulfill its quota toward the $3200 which is to be raised throughout the county.
