Sugar Rationing First Affects
Trade and Industrial Users
Registration for This Smaller Group Will Be Held
April 28 and 29. Consumer Registration
Set for May 4, 5, 6, 7
Albany—State Rationing Director
Maurice P. Neufeld wants teachers
and ratloners to pass high when the
sugar rationing registration starts. At
the same time he warned rationing
officials to "keep sugar certificates in
safes or other similar places—they're
as good as legal tender."
"Don't stop studying," he advised,
as he forwarded additional material
today to school officials, county ra­
tioning administrators, and local ra­
tioning administrators, and local ra­
tioning boards, for further schooling.
During the week of April 13, Dr.
Neufeld announced, he and members
of his staff will conduct regional
classes throughout the sjate In an
effort to lend every assistance to the
personnel taking part In the registra­
tion of trade and industrial users of
sugar scheduled for April 28 and 29.
"Although this registration," he de­
clared, "will be smaller than the con­
sumer registration which will be held
May 4, 5, 6 and 7, It will be much
more difficult because many techni­
cal factors will have to be considered.
Thorough preparation on the part of
the teachers and rationing officials Is
Important.*
Regarding the sugar purchase cer­
tificates which will be issued to the
trade, the state rationing director
warned:
"These certificates are valuable and
will require extreme care and atten­
tion to prevent counterfeiting, rais­
ing of figures, or reporting Inaccurate
records. They are made of safety pa­
per and treated to show changes.
"Sugar certificates and stamps are
as negotiable as money. The certifi­
cates bear about the same relation to
stamps as folding money to change."
The state rationing director ex­
plained that the trade and industrial
users of sugar include all persons who
buy sugar primarily Tar resale pur-
iposes: commercial users who buy sug-
hx from wholesalers; and institutions,
such as restaurants, hotels, hospitals,
etc. Questions on the appllidations
presented by them are designed to de­
termine the operating inventories
necessary to keep these businesses
functioning, and to adjust their stocks
of sugar on hand to these necessary
inventories.
The data given out by the state ra­
tioning office explained that the re­
tailer takes the stamps from his cus­
tomers and pastes them on gummed
sheets, which provide for 1D0 stamps,
and surrenders these to the wholesaler
to replenish the depletion of his stock
caused by the sales represented by
these stamps.
In order to avoid the awkward
handling of large quantities of these
gummed sheets by the wholesaler, he
privileged to go to the nearest region­
al office of the Office of Price Admin­
istration—not the local rationing
board—And exchange the stamps for
sugar certificates.
The wholesaler accumulates the
stamps or certificates and surrenders
them to the refiner or processor to re­
plenish his stock. No sugar can be
sold by the processor to the whole­
salers, except In exchange for these
certificates or stamps.
Evarts Estate, On
Dutcher Hill, Sold
Contracts were signed thJBfweek for
the sale of the HH1 House, property
of Mary Porter Evarts, on Dutcher
Hill, Mount Tom, Pawling. The prop­
erty consists of 20 acres of land, im­
proved with 10 room modernized farm
house, with 3 baths, 3 fireplaces, barns
and usual farm buildings. Hie buyer,
Everett H. Mayer, has also negotiat­
ed for the purchase from the same
owner of the Everett Peck farm ad­
joining, consisting of 160 acres, 12
room house, barns for 56 cattle, and
other outbuildings. The broker in
both transactions was Herbert J. Geb-
ing, of Carmel, N. Y.
In order to allow time for equaliza­
tion of stocks, when registration be­
gins, a "freeze" on sales of sugar will
be put into effect during the inter­
vening days between trade and con­
sumer registration.
"The freeze period," Dr. Neufeld re­
minded, "is not intended to be an ex­
cuse for some people to start hoard­
ing sugar now. I particularly appeal
to housewives to buy patriotically. Get
enough sugar a little while before
registration to tide over until you ob­
tain your legally rationed supply. You
will have to declare your supply any­
way, so be sensible. Failure to co­
operate in the sugar rationing pro­
gram will hurt not only loyal citizens,
but our soldiers and sailors.**
Dr. Neufeld suggested that local
boards in such cities as Albany, Am­
sterdam, Blnghamton, Buffalo, Elmlra,
Ogdensburg, Plattsburg, Rochester,
Schenectady, Syracuse, Troy and mi­
ca, might find it necessary to augment
their staffs for trade registration
April 28 and 29, as large sugar whole­
salers are located in these sections.

The American Red Cross war relief
for $60,000,000 has netted $65.-

to come in, President Roosevelt stated
Tuesday.

American people to the fund appeal

man, as "magnificent." the Preside')',
said that it showed the determination
of the people to make whatever sac­

White Plains, N. Y., March 30—in
preparing Westchester County for a
surprise blackout of long duration
the County Defense Council filed to­
night a critique of the March 15
blackout, listing twenty-two defects
that Included unfriendly dogs chasing
air raid wardens and inquisitive poli­
ticians overrunning alarm centers. The
Council urged that in the future both
types of offenders be controlled.
The defects were described to the
representatives of 46 local defense
councils meeting here tonight In the
Hotel Roger Smith. The compilation
had been drafted by Colonel Freder­
ick L. Devereux, head of the county
defense council, after study of the re­
ports of many of the 50,000 Westches­
ter defense workers.
Plans for the "surprise" blackout,
to be held between April 5 and 12 and
calling for full. mobilization of all
emergency forces In the area, were
approved tonight at the meeting. Ros-
slter Holbrook, executive secretary of
the Defense Council, said the only
community that would not participate
would be the city of New Rochelle. He
said the city had notified the council
that It still lacked adequate alarm
signals.
Signals Found Wanting
After asserting that the recent
blackout generally had been a success.
the critique said:
"Most of the local councils report­
ed the lack of proper publie warninc
signals. The sirens and whistles could
not be heard In a number of places.
' "Lights were reported in 30 houses,
buildings and stores in which there
was no one present to extinguish them.
Eight homes failed to take the neces­
sary blackout precautions because
•there were sick persons in the houses.
Wardens should see that the medical
profession is aware of this situation.
"A number of fires in fireplaces wer*
reported. People 6hould not build
fires In rooms that are not blacked
out. Three illuminated clocks were
reported. Lights were reported show­
ing through a number of skylights.
A skylight is difficult to check, but It
Is imoortant that the warden check
his district carefully for them.
"Grass fires and outside incinera­
tors caused some trouble. In many
cases there were reports of persons
smoking cigarettes and pipes on the
street. A number of attic and cellar
lights were reported Radio dial and
tube lights were observed. Reports
were made of visible reflections from
oil burners in schools, industries and
houses.
There were a few reports that war­
dens acted with undue severity. In
some Instances wardens who directed
persons to seek shelter could not, ad-
vUe where the shelter could be found.
There were altogether too many flash­
lights used by the wardens and aux­
iliary police.
"The number of willful violator-
was extraordinarily small. Publl
opinion will be a trrest 'persuader' IP
violations of this kind."

Ryan Seeks Seat Now Held by Fish
Latter May Go to Another County
Albany, March 28—State Senator
Allan A. Ryan, Jr., Poughkeepsie Re­
publican, announced today that he
would seek the Republican nomina­
tion in the Twenty-sixth Congression­
al District, the seat for which now is
held by Hamilton Fish, whose isola­
tionist views nave caused protests Jn
his district.
In announcing his decision by tele­
phone from his home Senator Ryan
said: .
"I have decided to become a can­
didate for Congress in the Twenty -
sixth District. Some time ago I reach­
ed the conclusion that as soon as my
term in the State Senate expired I
would enter the Federal service, or
devote myself to other work closely
allied to the war effort.
"It was my desire to Join the armed
forces or participate in some capacity
in the production of essential war
materials, but numerous friends have
persuaded me that I can make in
Congress a more direct and construc­
tive contribution toward the success­
ful prosecution of the war. I shall
therefore seek the Republican nomin­
ation.
"One thing is certain, the people of
this district expect their Congress­
man to direct his actions to the
wholehearted support 6f our govern­
ment's effort to win the war. If I am
elected that Is precisely what I in­
tend to do.
"The right to criticize governmental
policy Is the ABC of democracy, but
criticism must be constructive.
"I am not the least bit confused
about the distinction, and I am con­
vinced that the American people will
not stand for legislative' sabotage cal­
culated to obtain political advantage
for either an individual or party."
Previously Mentioned as Candidate
Mr. Ryan has been mentioned from
time to time as a possible Republican
candidate for the 26th Congressional
seat, and his announcement today is
taken to indicate that the party lead­
ers in both Putnam and Dutchess
Counties, two of the three counties
in the district, are supporting him.
The leaders In Orange, the third
county in the district, have not, as
yet, decided whether they will sup­
port Mr. Ryan or name another can­
didate, but it is considered extremely
likely here that they will support Mr.
Ryan. In any event, they are known
to be against Mr. Fish.
Representative Fish has announced
his intention of seeking a commission
In the armed forces. If such Is de­
nied to him, it is felt that he will re­
turn to his home district and make a
try for reelection.

At the Australian Parliament House
THE NEXT BLACKOUT
A surprise blackout will be held as
soon as the present moon wanes. Th's
one is to last at least two hours It
it sincerely hoped that everybody in
Putnam County will make adequate
preparations at once for a refuff*
room—a room lightproof from with­

tion In which a family can gather
and sit in comfort for two or more
hours at a time with normal illum­

Canberra. Australia, March 26—Fol­
lowing is the text of the speech mad-,
tonight by General 'Douglas MacAr­
thur. Supreme Commander of the
United Nations Forces in the South­
western Pacific, at a dinner given In
his honor at the Australian Parliu •
ment House:
I am deeply moved by the warmth
of the greeting extended to'me by ail
of Australia. The hospitality of your
| country is proverbial throughout the
. world, but your reception has far ex-
! ceeded anything I could have antici-
I pated.
Although this is my first trip to
Australia I already feel at home.
There is a link that binds our two
countries together which does not de­
pend upon written protocol . upon
treaties of alliance or upon diplomatic
doctrine. It goes deeper than that.
It is that indescribable consangui­
nity of race which causes us to have
the same aspirations, the same hope.s
and desires, the same Ideals and the
same dreams of future destiny. My
presence here is tangible evidence of
our unity. (Here he was interrupted
by a great burst of applause.)
I have come as a soldier in a great
crusade of personal liberty as opposed
to perpetual slavery. My faith in our
ultimate victory is invincible, and I
bring to you tonight the unbreakable
spirit of the free man's military code
in support of our Just cause.
That code has come down to us from
even before the days of knighthood
and chivalry. It will stand the test
of any ethics or philosophies that the
world has ever known. It embraces
the things that are right and con­
demns the things that are wrong.
Under its banner the free men of the
world are united today.
There can be no compromise. W r

1912—THIRTY TEARS AGO
The Republican County Committee
met at Carmel on Monday and filed
statements showing no expense was
incurred in their election. They were
unanimous in choosing as their chairman,
John R. Yale, and for secretary,
J. Bennett Southard.
The Democrats, notwithstanding
some kind of gentlemen's agreement
between Asbury C. Townsend and
William Church Osborn offered no
olive branches. The rules adopted by
the Townsend committee and declared
null and void by the Appellate Court,
were re-adopted thus perpetuating the
power of Mr. Townsend until 1013.
Having defeated Murphy, Dix, Osborn,
the Attorney General's office and various
malcontents who care nothing for
the material welfare and comfort of
the taxpayers who do not hesitate to
acknowledge openly the benefits obtained
through Assemblyman Yale
and a Republican legislature, Mr.
Townsend is entitled to contemplate
with pleasure the defeat of the Dix
dynasty next November.
The Town Board is considering
securing the services of a steeplejack
in order to get the old remnant of Old
Glory—once an American flag, ripped
and torn by summer breezes and winter
winds, since it escaped the hands
of Officer Pugsley when he attempted
to raise it in a brisk breeze more than
a year ago. The ropes were jerked
from the officer's hands and all efforts
to repair the damage were unavailing
on that day. The folorn condition
of the flag is not noted by many people,
but the pert question is how to
get It down and raise a new Star
Spangled banner.
At the Methodist conference at
Kingston Rev. H. B. Shown was returned
to Brewster, Rev. L. A. Robbins,

Wm. H. Armstrong, in his 73rd. year,
is retiring from his post of fifty years
as steward of the steamer Trojan of
the Citizens' Line. He first entered
the employ of Daniel Drew in the
autmun of .1601 as assistant steward
on the Plymouth Rock of the Stonington
Line. In the spring of 1863
Mr. Armstrong was transferred to the
Hendrick Hudson plying between New
York and Troy and served for five
years under William H. Drew, of
Brewster, president of the company.
He continued running on the Hudson
every season until the present. At the
close of each season he spent several
weeks with his mother, Mrs. Eliza
Armstrong:, of Brewster. Her death
seems to have put an end to his Brewster
visits. On his last day of service
he was presented with a handsome
silver, loving cup by the officers and
crew of the steamer Trojan and a
purse of $250 in gold by the company.

To Save Razor Blade
Draw It Through Cork
If the prescription given by Archibald
S Bennett, manager of the research
division of the William J. Burns
International Detective Agency, for
the care of old razor blades works as
well for others as it does for himself,
patriotic men will not even have, to
use the government's ration of one
blade a week.
Mr. Bennett said that although his
beard was tough, he had one blade
still going strong eight days after
he thought it was finished. After
washing the razor, he said, dry the
blade lightly while it is still warm and
soapy. Then draw it through the edge
of a cork. It works only with goodquality
blades.
Another method suggested by a war
veteran is to rub the blade briskly
around the inside surface of an ordinary

Proclaims April 6
As Our Army Day
President Announces, Also, That Every
Armed Service Will Join In Observance.
Calls On All Cillvtlans. Those
Who Labor Behind Lines Should
Spare No Effort In Creating Arms,
He Says.
Washington, . March 20—President
Roosevelt today proclaimed April 6 as
Army Day, but said that all of the
armed services would participate in
the observance as was done on Navy
Day last Fall.
The President said that the nation,
aroused by "Axis treachery and repudiation
of all the Ideals of honor
and truth and decency which as a
free nation under God we cherish,"
had taken steps to mobilise a citizens'
army from all walks of life and was
preparing "to achieve that victory
upon which may be built a firm structure
of peace and freedom."
It was fitting, he added, that those
who labored behind the lines should
firmly resolve "to spare no effort
which may contribute to the speedy
creation of the arms and supplies indispensable
to the citizens' army."
The text of his proclamation was
as follows:
"I have proclaimed April 6 Army
Day. That day means more than ever
to us this year. We are fighting an
all-out war in defense of our rights
and liberties.
"Army Day becomes, therefore, 'n
fact a total-war day. It becomes a
day when all of our citizens in civil
pursuits can rally to the support of
our armed forces, for only in the
united effort of all our our forces-
Army, Navy and civilians—can we
find the strength to defeat our enemies.
"Never before in the one hundred
and sixty-six years of our history as
a free Republic under God have our
armed forces had so much meaning
for us all. We are engaged in our
greatest war, a war that will leave
none of our lives wholly untouched.
"We shall win that war as we have
won every war we have fought. We
are fighting It with a combined force
of free men that is, in Lincoln's words,
of the people, by the people, for the
people of the United States of America.
"Our Army is a mighty arm of the
tree of liberty. It is living part of
the American tradition, a tradition
that goes back to Israel Putnam, who
left his plow in a New England furrow
to take up a gun and fight at
Bunker Hill. In this tradition American
men of many ages have always
left the pacific round of their usual
occupations to fight in causes that
were worth their lives—from Lexington
to the Argonne.
"In times of peace we do not maintain
a vast standing Army that might
terrorize our neighbors and oppress
our people. We do not like to rehearse
interminably the cruel art of war.
But whenever a tyrant from across
the seas has threatened our liberties
our citizens have been ready to forge
and use the weapons necessary with
titie citizen soldiers, our friends and
relatives and neighbors of a few short
'Kittyhawk' Establishing
An Enviable Record
Known as the "hardest hitting
fighter" in service with the United
States Air Forces today, the Curtlss
P-40 D—the Kittyhawk—Is establishing
an enviable record in numbers of
enemy aircraft destroyed. Tested first
in the heat of battle over the Libyan
Desert, long before the-United States
entered the war, the Curtlss IP-40
proved more than a match against
the best planes the Axis Countries
could throw against it. Italian fighters,
Nazi bombers, even the famed
Messerschmidt 10GF went down in
flaming defeat under the terrific hitting
power of the Kittyhawk's .SO caliber
machine guns.
Australian pilots have nothing but
praise for the Kittyhawk. One English
commander was quoted as saying,
"Huns don't like them, but they're
prejudiced. Our squadron has done
well, having destroyed more than 120
machines in air combat and probably
destroyed and damaged 70 more. Also,
we have destroyed SO on the
ground."
Again over the mountainous terrain
of the Burma Road, fighters produced
by the Airplane Division of the Curtiss-Wright
Corporation swept all
enemy aircraft before them, iPlown
by volunteer American pilots, the Klttyhawks
destroyed 200 Japanese planes
in Burma with the loss of only 42 of
their own, according to Air Marshal
Sir Richard Persse, Chief of the R.
A. P. in India.
After Pearl Harbor, the sharp nosed
deadly P-40 D's again won respect
from the enemy when in a surprise
move they emerged as light bombers.
At Subic Bay three (P-40's that somehow
had escaped whole from the continuous
dive bombing attacks of the
numerically superior Jap planes, sank
a number of Japanse transports with
bombs and with machine gun fire.
And as the battle front of the United
Nations spreads to the far ends of
the Pacific, more and more of these
hard hitting fighters roll from the
Curtiss J Wright production assembly
lines.

RYAN ASSUMES LEADERSHIP
In response to numerous friends seeking his leadership as Representative
in Congress for the 26th District, New York. Allan A.
Ryan, of Rhincheck. N. Y„ announces that he would seek the Republican
nomination. His statement, as published in The New York
Times on Sunday, March 29, 1942, appears in this issue of The
Brewster Standard. Mr. Ryan said: "One thing is certain. The
people of this district expect their Congressman to direct his actions
in the wholehearted support of our government's effort to win the
war. If I am elected that is precisely what I intend to do. The right
to criticize governmental policy is the ABC of democracy, but criticism
must be constructive. I am not the least bit confused about the
distinction, and am convinced that the American people will not
stand for legislative sabotage calculated to obtain political advantage
for either an individual or a party.
Like General MacArthur, Allan Ryan is a man of action, a man
of few words. His use of words in response to the people seeking
his leadership in the world crisis reveals his understanding of the people,
children, women and men. As a father, statesman and friend.
Allan Ryan knows the power of love, integrity and courage. School
boys, men in training for service, future voters and taxpayers came
in Monday to talk about Allan Ryan. Children, thirty years ago,
helped carry Primary petitions to voters whose signatures were needed
on the day appointed to designate candidates for office, and this
year, though tires and tubes may fail, children and adults, close to
the people, are ready to serve. Edward D. Stannard. Clayton Ryder,
James W. Wadsworth. William F. Bleakley and Wendell Willkie
know the people will work. They do not need titles, uniforms or
Hatch Acts, and the Board of Elections will not need the Secretary
of State, Attorney General nor F.B.I, to check on their work.
The people anticipate further comment from Allan Ryan and
his associates for the campaign. In the meantime they will celebrate
Easter and rejoice in their ability to serve their country and the cause
of the United Nations.
Agents of the Westchester County Historical Society visited
Brewster on Tuesday to inquire whether the files of this newspaper,
the Town of Southeast and the Village of Brewster were adequately
protected from bombs. The answer may be unsatisfactory to those
who do not realize how many sources can provide records for those
who seek thoroughly to check all sources. Probably the original
maps and field sheets of Putnam County at 120 Broadway are as
safe as the lands described on the assessment rolls. Histories of the
past are filed in many libraries and homes.
If nothing appears safe, nothing appears lost. Some say only
date lines distinguish one issue of this newspaper from another; that
not since the founding of Kent's parish have the character and temper
of the people changed; that the banks and the railroad, telephones
and electricity grow stronger, as the people carry on the daily round.
Fundamentally all is safe because of healthy, confident action to replenish
any loss and to provide future service.
Until the fate of New Rochelle seems more secure by provision
of sirens or black hangings, it appears the historians of Westchester
should seek inspiration from the pen of Thomas Paine, Revolutionary
pamphleteer, who was honored by the Congress of the United
States, the State of New York and the city of New Rochelle before
he died there in 1809. In spite of the return of his bones to England
ten years later the records he left should help keep the people
secure in mind... This so-called dissenting minister gave us words as
stirring as Henry Forrestal did on Sunday morning, when in the days
of '76 he wrote. "We fight not to enslave, but to set a country free,
and to make room upon earth for honest men to live in."
Whether Allan A. Ryan, Jr., is private citizen, public servant
or soldier, his supreme obligation is to uphold the Constitution of
The United States of America and the Bill of Rights which covers
the four freedoms named by President Roosevelt as the fundamental
rights of all people. Mr. Ryan states he is not confused, and that
goes for thousands of people who will vote for him as the new candidate
for Representative in Congress of the old 26th District, New
York.
In The New York Times and The Newburgh News appear
/daily reports of conversations that indicate Mr. Fish may be confused
or that be may be attempting to confuse the people. It is possible
some people are confused, but every hour fresh evidence that confusion
is being rapidly dispelled comes to the newspapers that serve
ibe people.
Jt may be Mr. Fish has never lacked the courage of his convictions,
but surely many who support him lack what he would consider
courage. The operation of the "divide and rule" principle in
this district will reveal that fact to anyone who comprehends the
great game of politics. Members of churches, schools, fraternal organizations,
country clubs and baseball - teams since 1926 have been
struggling to overcome the influences of that unhappy principle. They
have succeeded. People believe Kishawana Country Club can
weather the financial storm, avoid foreclosure and pay Joseph M.
Adrian the debt long past due him. The Kishawana Indians can
give Allan Ryan as big a party as they gave Judge Bleakley before
the Primary of 1936. This banner Republican community neglected
by Mr. Fish since the defeat of Mary Helen Smith. Republican,
will give a record majority to Allan Ryan in November.
Like Mr. Ryan. Gerard Mergardt. Alexander F. Lobdell. William
Makenny. Lager Tilljander, Raymond Bruen. Richard O'Brien
and other young men of family, not in the armed forces are ready
to serve as new candidates for office or committees to support candidates
who believe in the course of action Mr. Ryan follows. They
recognize the supreme obligation.

Ass't Secretary of the Committee, announced that individual nonpolitical
groups are being approached by direct contact for member­

Brown added that a manifesto of the motives and intentions of the

the 26th district through an advertisement in every weekly and daily
newspaper in the district on Thursday, April 2nd.
Mr. Lewis B. McCabe. Jr., an enrolled Republican real estate

promised a fight in the primaries if Hamilton Fish decides to run
again. His reasons for this are illuminating. The Dutchess County
Republican Committee, according to Mr. Bontecou, would not support
Mr. Fish because the Dutchess leaders do not thinkf he can win.
In other words, it appears that the primary purpose of the County
x>
Committee is to pick a winner. Our present Congressman is a per­ the world -as a citizen and as a mem •
ber of so-called society." The report

like a selection at a race track, than picking a representative for a "Because the vast and checkered
large district to sit in a body whose decisions may affect the future
of the whole world.
"Mr. Bontecou and the other leaders know the real reason why
Mr. Fish or anybody who shares his views will not get the designation
of the Republican Party. If they don't know they should write
to General MacArthur, or any of our men now fighting for their
lives in the Philippines. It was over Fish's stiffest resistance that
Congress was able to grant funds for the army to build defenses in
this area and in almost every other outpost that is keeping the enemy
from our own shores right now.
"In another recent statement, Mr. Bontecou rose up in wrath
at the interest which outsiders are showing in our coming Congressional
election. Doesn't he realize that contrary to this statement,
'we have been able to take care of our problems in this district before
and we're still able to take care of them', that by maintaining Hamilton
Fish in Congress for twenty-two years, Mr. Bontecou and other
leaders have shown their inability to do just that. Who put up
Mr. Fish for Congress in 1940 when he had just finished fighting
the draft bill? Where would we be now if the bill had not been
passed?
"Unless the Republican leaders make it very clear that we are
going to have a representative who can rise above party politics, and
who can have a few deep convictions about the prosecution of this
war and the peace to follow, rather than the desire of, 'getting that
man in the White House.'outsiders are going to continue to be amazed
and shocked and to interfere. And they are not the only ones,
for we hope that the Republican voters of the 26th District (as well
as the Democrats) will rise up and insist on the nomination of candidates
who are enlightened and in whom they can have confidence
and pride."
REAPPORTIONMENT Communications
Probably Republican forces of
Dutchess County, who feel terribly
hurt at the prospect of losing one Assemblyman
In the reapportionment
plans under consideration at Albany,
will feel equally pleased over the prospect
of a reorganization of the 30th
Congressional district. For that reorganization
as now outlined, will
spare them the worst embarrassment
they have faced in decades—that of
doing something about Congressman
Pish. Not in many years, if ever, has
the Republican organization in these
parts been possessed of a man it has
supported for years and who ranks as
an old line Republican, yet who, they
feel, no longer represents the majority
view of his constituents. Quite
naturally, because of their dominance j p^f
in the county and the district, the
Republican organization has a right to
say what the majority view is; and it
smacks of exasperation when the organization
through its leaders now
says that Mr. Pish no longer speaks
the views of the majority In his district.
Prospect of the loss of an assemblyman
is most painful because the
Republican organization has been well
represented by its two veterans. One,
Assemblyman Howard N Allen, is one
of the oldest members of the lower
house in point of service, and he holds
membership on the
committees because of his seniority.
The other, Assemblyman Emerson D.
File, has established an outstanding
record, not only by his campaign
methods, but by some of the legislation
he has sponsored. While

Taxpayers Study
Rising Tax Budgets
Now Is the time for taxpayers T O
begin their efforts for the reduction
of 1943 budgets to offset the rising demands
of federal taxes for war financing.
By observation of governmental
units operating under current appropriations,
taxpayers should be able to
ask pertinent questions and to arm
themselves with material for constructive
and specific recommendations
when budget making time for the
county, city, township or district rolls
around.
Here are some questions the Citizens
Public Expenditure Survey suggests
taxpayers ask of the governmental
units which they support:
1. In view of tire and automobile
rationing, to what extent has travel
by officials and local government il
employes been curtailed?
2. II capital outlays for roads and
similar purposes have been postponed
because of the national emergency
and priorities, has this been accompanied
by reduction In engineering
and Inspection services and other personnel
primarily assigned to preparation
of plans and supervision of such
outlays?
3. What efforts have been made by
local welfare officials to reduce their
case loads In view of the improvement
in employment opportunities?
4. If case loads for unemployment
relief are dropping, are administrative
costs showing a proportionate drop?
If not, why not?
5. Will the Increased state aid for
schools voted by the Legislature this
year be used to keep down real estate
taxation?
6. Have decreases in average daily
attendance in schools been reflected
in reduction in personnel?
7. What non - essential services,
measured by wartime standards, have
been curtailed or eliminated?
These questions should suggest others.
Taxpayers who recently filed
their federal income tax returns experienced
an early indication of what
the war will cost. The cost to th«
taxpayer is certain to multiply many
fold. Under these circumstances taxpayers
will show no hesitancy In asking
questions about non-war expenditures
and will demand the answers.

Around Our House
Cheating the Moths
Wool is becoming too scarce to feed
to any moth, says the New York State
College of Home Economics, which
tells how to protect and to store woolen
materials.
Before putting away garments, bedding,
or blankets, hang them in the
air and sun. then brush or thoroughly
shake them. (Next, store them
tightly in sealed bairs or chests with
a supply of paradlchlorobenzene or
naphthalene distributed among the
wool.
Do not store soiled garments, for
moths are doubly attracted to food
spots. Garments sent to the drycleaner
will be returned free from
moths but must be stored with the
same care to prevent Infestation during
the summer.
Trunks, chests, or wooden boxes
used for storage should be selected
carefully. They should close tightly
and have no cracks or other openings.
Prom five to six tablespoonfuls of paradlchlorobenzene
should be scattered
among the moth-free garments or
tied in a piece of muslin and placed
on top of the clothes.
Garment bags of heavy paper are
excellent storage places for. clothlnn
which is not in use: but since moths
can enter through the tiniest of holes,
even a small break or tear renders a
bag useless If. however, at the time
of storing, the varments are free from
both moths and larvae, and if the bas
is tightlv sealed, the clothes will remain
safe from injury.
There is no quick and easy method
for keeping the house free from moths.
Constant watchfulness is essential,
especially with fabrics likely to be injured.

Marie Shay — Josephine Bocchlno
In maintaining our recently established
policy of having occasional
student conducted assemblies, a Home
Economics program was held last
week under the direction of Anna
Membertr. One of the two main features
was an Informal discussion
about all the Home Economics taught
in our school. Louise McConaughy
represented an average high school
elrl who was plannlnp her schedule
for the coming school year. The following
girls, who are at present studying
Home Ec, took part in the discussion
bv telling Louise what earn
Home Ec. was like: Barbara Turner.
Gladys Tompkins. Marie LeVarne.
Jeanne Shay and Josephine Bocchino.
The fact that each girl prepared her
own part and the very Informal atmosphere
which existed made this
part of the program rather unique.
The highlight of the assembly was
a fashion show in which the majoritv
of our high school girls participated.
The scene for this took place in
a store where Muriel Menichelli, a
prospective college girl, had planned
to purchase her wardrobe. She was
ably assisted by Betty White who
acted as salesgirl. One by one the
girls walked on to the staee. modeling
various styles including pajamas,
house coats, skirts and sweaters,
slacks, tea dresses, coats, suits, evening
dresses and wraps. All in all It
was a very colorful and pleasing spectacle.
Music was played at different intervals
by a three-olece orchestra
consisting of Howard Chorsky. trumpet:
Roy Fowler, drums, and Howard
Johnson, piano. This group also played
In the gymnasium during the noon
hour for dancing.
Nearly $1,000 worth of Defense
Bonds have been purchased by students
through the school. The individual
sales for this week in Defense
Stamps were as follows: North Salem
School. $18.16: Croton Falls
School. $46.50, and Central Hi"h
School. $50.86. The total stamp sale

The Seniors have worked out an
excellent theme for graduation which
they feel Is appropriate at the present
time.

morning trips. The first bus will
therefore leave 10 minutes earlier.
A second collection of books for the

started. All contributions will be accepted
at the principal's office.
This week's assembly was presented

School. Details will be given next

cards. Students who had obtained
an honor average were not required
to take the tests. The total
number of exemptions was 68.
Contrary to a previous announcement,
there will be another issue of
The Salemlte. It Is expected to be
distributed this week.
Accompanied by a bus load of loyal
rooters, our eight cheer-leaders were
guests at the cheer-leading contest
sponsored by the Yorktown High
School on Tuesday evening. The results
will be given next week.
Helen Menichelli, a student in the
eighth grade, is recovering from a leg
oDeration In a New York hospital. We
all wish Helen a speedy recovery and
expect to see her in school again soon.
In doing our share for National De­
fense, we are now saving all waste
paper. It is collected weekly by the
town officials.
The faculty and students of Central
attended, by invitation, an assembly
featuring a special performance
of "Varieties in Color" at the
Somers School Tuesdav morning. We
are very grateful to Principal Keefe
fpr his Invitation and wish to compliment
him and his students upon
the excellent program that was presented.
The per cent of attendance for this
District for March was 93 per cent.
The third and fourth grades of North
Salem School, Mrs. Holderman, teacher,
were highest with 95 per cent.

Free Mail Set Up
For Service Men
The Postofflce Department announces
that the recently approved
free-mailing privileges for men in the
armed services would become effective
at main points in the country oy
the end of the week.
Local postmasters will begin accepting
mail of service men in unstamped
envelopes as soon as they
receive official notice through the
postal bulletin, mailed April 1.
The free-mailing privilege was approved
by Congress as part of the
second War Powers Bill which President
Roosevelt signed on Saturday.
It applies to enlisted men and commissioned
officers of all services and
to letters mailed at home or abroad.
The benefits are restricted to firstclass
letter mail. Such matter may
be mailed to any addess In the United
States or its territories and possess^
ions.
A service man who wants to take
advantage of the privilege need
merely write his name, rank and organization
on the upper rlghthand
corner of the envelope and the word
"Free" in the upper lefthand corner
-Jthen drop it into the letter slot.
Postofflce officials said that the
concession would lower receipts in
some local offices. They believe, however,
that few postmasters or supervisors
in military or naval establlshmetnts
will receive pay _cute. The
salaries of such officials depend on
the receplts of their offices.

Stage and screen stats in recent

and then touring it to Poughkeeps»..\
Peeksklll, and Danbury. Other towns
visited may be Mt. Kisco, Beacon.

Negotiations are under way for
suitable theatres or auditoriums, and
an exact schedule of the rotary towns
