Former Resident Is Owner Of Gold Mine Radio Station

A former resident of Chappqua is the subject of a profile in Charles M. Sievert's column in last Thursday's World Telegram & Sun.

"Dickens J. Wright, who will be remembered by many people in Chapprfcua, is described by Mr. Sievert y& a "genius" who has turned $$00,000 into three million dollars in five years, as president and general manager of radio sta­tion WPAT in Paterson, N.J.

Mr. Wright and several other ^associates bought WPAT for $300,-rOOO/oh 1954.; He was the: largest

,.>;;sJ^reho^rVlffe had heetiIn radio a* .io^Sxof|f of the time' since he left ^ StjLx^s ta:hiS'you1h,. Mr, Sievert . , wrote, getting his first taste- of an

independent station in' Bridgeport, Conn. He followed that with sev­eral network jobs before joining

^ WPAT in 1950." He instituted* a continuous play­

ing of music via WPAT, with no plugs after every chorus of every number. He allowed commercials only after every 15 minutes in the daytime, every half hour in the evening.

That policy has brought WPAT thousands of satisified listeners, and the station's billings will be almost $2 million this year. Mr. Wright expects about $4 million in 1960. Last year, he cut com-mericals by 17 per cent and saw gross income rise 27 per cent. How asks Mr. Sievert: The answer, he, says,,is that WPAT's ,AM;an$ FM ridesKoyer 'IT^met opoTitari .eouri*' ites; its listeners ^en't radio fans' they just like.Dick's soothing idea.'

So "Mr/Wright, forty-six year old and the father of five,, isn't sell­ing - even at three million dollars. He has had other unsoliciated of­fers, too, for a total of about five, ranging from $2.5 to $3 million.

Suggestions For Safe Winter Driving Given

With the coming of winter snows and inclement weather, motorists should be more fully aware of proper driving techniques and aids :o safety. Frank Maccarello of the New Castle Highway Dept. would like to remind drivers that safe driving in winter depends upon proper preparation. .

He gives several worthwhile tips i motorists. 1. The average passenger car

should have from 100 to 200 pounds of sand 'iti the trunk, •car­ried in a'wooden box or can.;The weight of the sand will give-' traction • oil slippery roads yahd ^ ^ ^ f e k k w ^ ^ ^ ' ' 1 ^ provide a mfins tfv'ta&cjfcifno^e-able-.tQ . ^ $ ^ d g c . ^ T • XT .

This Area Could Be Disaster Spot -Defense Speaker Says „ A significant step forward was made Thursday night in the Mu­nicipal Building, Mount Kisco, when its. Civil Defense Unit Wel­fare officer, John Tulloch and CD Director John F. Cregier were hosts to Civil defense heads from District No. Five, of which Mount Kisco is the center.

The occasion was the prelimin­ary training session given by Mur­ray Smythe and Herbert Argento, both of the Westchester County Welfare Services office of Com­missioner Staunton Strawson, in which CD officers in the eight townships and one village, were advised of the change of format for rescue work in this north area and the, quite possible chance of this area :becoming a disaster spot, if and when a bomb might hit in or near New York City or •Very likely, some place in the North Area short of the metrop­olis. ,

P.O. Will Use Old Highway Dept. Garage

Following its original plans, the Town of New Castle has agreed to allow the Chappaqua Post Office to use the old highway dept. gar­age on Allen PI. to handle the an nual Christmas mail rush. It was announced last week in another newspaper, that the Town would allow' the post office to use the water, dept. garage on N. Greeley Ave. However, it was learned this week that use of the building would not be suitable because would not be heated.

Each year the post office seeks additional space because its pre sent building is not large enough to handle the tremendous amounts of mail received at Christmas­time.

Supervisor Arthur L. Green said that merchants in the village ori ginally sought to use the site o. the old highway garage for park­ing during the Christmas season This would necessitate demolition of the structure after the high way dept., moves to its new build irig on Hunts La. However, he points out, the old building has a sunken floor with too much dis tance between its level and the ground level to allow vehicles to pass by. For that reason he be lieves the location would not be adequate for parking at ths time Mr. Green .said that paving pf the area could hot be done until warm weather returns.

Supervisor Green has contacted a wrecker and has indicated thai the building will be torn, down as soon as the post office is finished with the Christmas rush, (_ ' • TURKEY FOB MILBANK CHIL DREW

4. Snow, tires aid greatly in driving over packed or soft snow. On ice, Mr. Maccarello points out, chains are a must.

5. When seeing a car ahead stuck on a hill, wait at the bot­tom of the hill until the vehicle begins, moving* again. -Even if the second auto has. good snow tires or chains, it must ,come/to .a stop

One last tip that Mr. Maccarello suggests is to wait until the snow plow passes by before shoveling out the driveway. That will avoid clearing the drive a second time after the plow passes and fills the entrance with snow from the main roadway.

Chappaqua School Board To Keep 5-Man Structure

The District 4 Board of Educa­tion voted last night to retain its present five-man structure and to keep members' terms at five years.

The move, in effect, rejected a proposal made last spring by cit­izens' committee for enlarging membership to seven, and shorten­ing terms to three years.

Board members said they pre­ferred working as a single unit, as at present, rather than under

The citizens' committee, com­posed of two members each from the Town Club and the District 4

The board's vote to keep its structure was unanimous, thus making unnecessary a ballot on the proposal at the annualmeeting next May.

Eye-Sore' Lot In Chappaqua Gets Cleaned

Public minded citizens of the community once more cleaned up the vacant lot at the corner of King St. and Greeley Ave. last Saturday morning.

This action was initiated by let­ters written by Ernest Hallmuller to the Town of New Castle High­way Dept., and to the Chamber of Commerce. Both of these were referred to the Civic Improvement Group of the Chappaqua Garden Club, which has in the past spent so many hours of work on this area. As a Consequence, members of the group, of which Mrs. Fran cis.Jtf.

Elman staged his own clean-up on the back premises of his stationery store.

Mrs. Millett speaks for members of the Chappaqua Garden Club in stating that "it does seem, now hat the Anti-Litter Ordinance has

gone into effect, that the Town and the Police Dept. should make an attempt to see that litter be kept from this eye-sore. Although the property of an outside group this lot is one of the first sightts :o greet the eye of visitors to this own, and in its current state

has done nothing to enhance the town. Isn't this town large enough now to include a street cleaner in its budget? Not only'is this lot the recipient of litter, but also all the plantings which the Garden Club has made in the village area. Even the Boy Scouts realized this neces sity when they took over the town government for a day, for at that time they passed an ordinance to clean up this lot".

United Fund of Northern West­chester Inc., a "unique" under­standing is the best means of pro­viding adequate welfare service, magazine publisher James A. Linen declared on Nov. 19.

Mr. Linen, publisher of a nation­al news magazine and former president of United Community Funds and Councils of America addressed a rally of about 450 in the Fox Lane School. His address l outlined the framework of united fund organizations and pointed out the ne"ed and advantages.

"Your United Fund will be the most constructive step you have ever taken to provide more ade­quate .welfare services for upper Westchester and to insure more stable financing for agencies which join," he explained. Expenses for drives and operations will narrow o 10 per cent of total funds col-ected with a united effort, he es­timated.

Mr. Lines also pointed to subur­ban growth which he predicted will require a 30 to 50 per cent increase in the demand for welfare serv­ices.

The United Fund of Northern Westchester Inc., he told the re­sidents is unique because it is a 'pioneering effort." serving 23

Fire-Fighting Demonstration GivenNewMen

The Chappaqua Fire Dept. stag­ed two fire drills last week for the purpose of familiarizing new members of two companies- with fire-fighting proceedures.

Mr. Linen was followed by Mrs Richard W. Dammann, president of the Board of Family Service of Westchester,

She lamented the time spent by able volunteers collecting money for various drives when their time could be "better utilized in the agency of their choice.

Mr. Furth of-Chappaqua also is _ member of the Board of Directors of the United Fund.

The Fund was mapped after a number of residents, became con­cerned about numerous individual drives in Northern Westchester and "Uncertain support of vitally heeded agencies."

A volunteer board will manage it. and a paid director and clerical staff will administer it. One drive a year is planned for each fall.

Organizations and residents of the entire area helped in making the United Fund Rally a success".

Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts help­ed with the reception as ushers and guides. They also opened the meeting with a- flag ceremony, The choir of the Antioch church in Bedford Hills led the audience in singing the national anthem.

The Chappaqua Garden Club ar­ranged the table for the reception before the meeting ..and R- '.icus Garden Club provided several ar­rangements of foliage for decora­tions.

A special committee of staff of Fox Lane School volunteered to help with serving coffee for the reception: Members of this com­mittee, working under Mrs. Hav­ens of Mount Kisco supervisor o the cafeteria at Fox Lane, were Mrs. Margaret Pennessi, Mrs. Ai-leen Brennan, Mrs. Alma Matzek and Mrs. Elizabeth McPherson o Bedford Hills.

the long-time search for off-street parking in Chappaqua. More than a year ago the Chamber of Com­merce, created a p a r k i n g dis­trict and pledged $25,000 amongst the merchants for the develop­ment of such a district. This, known as the original plan, would have provided parking space for 160 vehicles while the Town Board new proposal provides space for 99, or about the same number of cars that* can be parked in cur­rent space.

In the new plan, the Town Board suggest a roadway, 17 feet wide, running between the post of­fice and Grand Union store, stretching behind the stores on Greeley Ave., and emerging on Woodburn Ave., adjacent to the bank. Mr. Caso said that the plan does not envision the widening of Woodburn Ave. as the original plan called for. "In other words," he said, "the original conditions under which the merchants form­ulated .the parking district, are not being met in this-hew proposal. We do not see how the town can ac­quire these lands without going through lengthly channels of con­demnation or purchase arrange­ments." Mr. Caso believes the merchants on the block involved could work out the same off-street parking arrangements themselves without the creation of a parking district. "We could trade with the school board directly," he said.

According to Mr. Caso, one of the property owners involved in the block concerned said "this is a makeshift plan. On the original plan, we gained 50 .odd parking places—this way to ,do not gain any." . i

Under the parking 'district plan originated by the Chamber pf Commerce, the merchants would contribute the money necessary to develop the parking district. The chamber members feel that this would be attractive to the taxpay ers because it would not cost them anything. In addition, Mr. Caso points out, it would be far more convenient for local people to shop if they had adequate parking. With more business there would be more investment on the part of merchants and consequently more assessables in the business district to create more revenue for the town.

Supervisor Arthur L. Green' said that' theTiChief advantage of the Town - Board's proposed parking plan is..that itwould-he-acpeptable to both the "School Board and Town Board arid therefore it will work.
