Dec. 31 at 4 p.m. or thereabout, the man who has been the Gerk of the Village of Mount K soo, these past eight years. Oscar Edward Theodore Schonfeld. to give him his formal moniker, wi 1 close the battle-scar red desk, slip into his overcoat and depart from the haunts of Mount Kisco's work-a-day world, for keeps. At the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees, \Gus\ as he is familianiv known to everyone In the village, tendered his re signation, and the information that he would return to the selling game, with a firm in New York City as of Jan. 1. Trustee G Roland House, who proposed th 1 resolution which \ac cepted with regret\ and will spread or- the minutes of the Board, the testimonial of \faithful and efficient service\ concluded his remarks with \We're going to miss you around here, Pop.\ This will be a sentiment which will be re-echoed bv the countless friends Gus had the first day he took up his duties as Village Gerk and the hundreds of newcomers to our village, who have met him since. Village Gerk Schonfeld brought many goodly talents to the post. First and foremost, he likes peo ple, all kinds of people, and has the knack oj\ making the taxpay er feel he was speaking to a friend. Even though, on occasion, the taxpayer did not get what he came after, he at least left the municipal office with the feeling that he had made a \friend at court\. Just as a neswpaper reflects the tenor and character of the com munity it represents, so do the of ficial letters which a muncipality puts out. reflect the character and intelligence of the unseen person alities, which make its governing body. One of the important duties of a Village Clerk is the lucid ex position to Federal and State po litical divisions and others of the exac* thinkn.g of the Board of Trusteer and its departmental heads Many times the material is exceeding'y involved and intri cate. It was in these instances, that a faculty for words, which was Gus's, makes one proud of the good impression of our village which must have been had, by the many recipients. It is in the com passionate expression of sympathy dispatched by Gus to the many persons in the community, who had lost someone near and dear, who had served our Village, that one renses the sincere feeling of kinship for those in sorrow, which is indeed one of his fine qualities. In addition to \minding the store\ anu striving to keep the customers happy. Gus earned the affectionate nickname of \Pop\ for the paternal atmosphere which he radiated among his fellow-work ers in the office and the many per sons from ether departments who came and went in the work day. No doubt, only now, with his de parture near at hand, will those who enjoyed his wit and willing ness to \trouble shoot\ perceive the vacuum which his leaving will create One of his pet phrases when the work piled like a snow drift in his desk was \I feel like a cat in a roundhouse\. Somehow that pungent comment will always have the power to give us a deep- seated giggle whenever we think of it, and conjure up the guy in the brown fedora. So au revoir but not goodbye, Gus. Best of everything in the new endeavor and we know we voice the sentiments of many when We say. \Our day was always a brighter one, for a few words with the Village Clerk of Mount Kisco\. Coming Events Some Christmas Thoughts IT IS SIGNIFICANT that Santa •Claus is always pictured as a fel- Jtow yvho gives and not as one who \fes. Nobody ever thinks of Jlhim anything but the chil- $d?of*au* eagerly await his com ing with a supreme confidence fthat he will not fail them. It is also significant that Santa Clans has prospered by his con tinual giving. Those of us who '.have actually seen him know that ^Jbis pictures are all more or less faithful likenesses. Continual giv- ig has made him fat and jolly, here is rugged health in his leeks and he is enjoying excep tional longevity. He does not take his labors too seriously, he doesn't worry over the discomfort and he doesn't complain when travel con ditions are bad. Somehow he al ways manages to visit every com munity on Christmas Eve. Santa Claus would never have become the idol of the world that he is today if he had been selfish or sejf-centered, going through We thinking only of himself and what he could get. GiyiNG TO OTHERS and doing for others brings the truest form of happiness. Those who do the most giving get the most happi ness. The reason why so many of us get so little real happiness out of life is because we do not learn that it is more blessed to give than it. is to receive. The man or woman who never wins a grateful smile for the help given the needy must be conscious of some lack in their lives. Those who never do anything to make little children laugh must have a hunger in their hearts that nothing seems to ap pease. The degree of happiness which we attain this Christmas will not come so much from what we get or from what others do for us as from what we give and from what we do for others. Children cannot understand this and n.any of us grown-ups do not understand it because in many re spects we are still children. It is a fact nevertheless and the quick er we start exemplifying Santa Claus thr» faster we will begin getting more real happiness out of life Before another issue of this pa per appears, Christmas will have been here and gone. We, therefore, take this opportunity of wishing all the people of New Cas tle a very Merry Christmas. That the real spirit of Christmas may take possession of every home and that every heart may realize the true meaning of Christmas is our predominant wish. 25 Years Ago in Mount Kisco Food, Clothing, Toys to Be Given Needy for Christmas DEC. 23 Christmas movie to be given in the Mount Kisco Boys' Gub, for children of the community, free. 3 P M.

Also on dis play is the plan of the interior of the new building with its ar rangement of stacks, tables, chil dren's room magazine shelf, etc. A call at the library to study these plans is definitely worthwhile. A large truck will pull out of Manning's Garage in Mount Kisco early Saturday morning and afteJ going to various parts of Mount Kisco will head for other north county communities including Chappaqua, Armonk, Bedford Vil lage, Bedford Hills and Katonah. The truck will carry about 150 baskets of food, clothing and toys distributed annually at Christmas by the Mount Kisco Elks Lodge a »iJ the Moses Taylor Post Ameri can Legion of Mount Kisco. Al though the Elks and Legion takf care of the actual distribution and appropriate most of the money for tho Christmas food, other organi zations in this community will also help the cause by contributing to the Elks-Legion Christmas fund. The chairmen of the committee •nnounced this week that about 150 families in the area will re ceive baskets. week authorized by the village board to write to Governor Her bert Lehman and this district's re presentatives in the State Legisla ture stressing the fact that Mount Kisco has joined in with other communities in the state in the re quest for the passage df legislation whereby a two per cent sales tax wid be levied returnable to cities, villages, towns and school districts so that they can reduce their bonded indebtedness and possibly their respective tax rates. The proposed tax would give $25,000 to Mount Kisco yearly. Another epoch in the history of Katonah was written last Friday afternoon when Edward P. Bar rett, supervisor of the Town of Bedford and H. A. Deering, a vice president of the Westchester Lighting Company, formally ignit ed the first gas distributed through mains of the utility organization for use in the unicorporated vil lage.
