Westchester Family Living Ice Ridges Pose D riving Risks North Westchester Times New Castle Tribune, Mount Kisco, N.Y., February 23, 1961 15 By ALFRED A. DeClCCO Motorists these days are dodg- ing road holes and fighting for control while riding over ice ridges. This winter's snow and cold nave helped to cause many acci- dents, several beyond the drivers' control. Last week a woman driver on a narrow section of a road tried to go right so that sh e and an Faculty Wm Earn Dollars For Scholars SOMERS— The annual Scholarship Show will be presented by Somers Central School on Thursday and Friday evenings, March 16 and 17. The revue will feature experts from "H.M.S. Pinafore," "The Mi- kado," "Porgy and Bess," and "Oklahoma. F a c u 1* t y members from both the Primrose School and Somers Central School are already rehearsing their parts. Donald Nuccio of Lincolndale, music teacher, will be in charge of musical direction and arrange- ment. Donald Cyr, also of Lincoln- dale, English teacher and drama- tics director, will stage the show. Set design is in the hands of Barney Watkins of Patterson, art teacher. Set construction will be under the direction of Burney Tay- lor of Croton Falls, industrial arts teacher at Somers. Tickets for the show went on sale last week. Homeroom teach- ers are distributing tickets to their pupils to sell in their communities. Tickets also will be available at the door on the night of the per- formance, but, as seating space is limited, Mr. Nuccio recommends that tickets be purchased well in advance of the performances. The show, described by Super- vising Principal Webster Keefe as a "fun show," will mark the sec- ond time in the last ten years that the faculty has puton a perform- ance for the benefit of the scholar- ship fund. Small scholarships are awarded from this fund to deserv- ing seniors who plan to continue their education.

She, her passenger and the truck driver were shaken up. The station wagon had to be tow- ed away Blamed could be the elements, or the owners whose parked cars prevented a thorough snow plow- ing, or perhaps the community for not removing ice ridges. One thing is certain: Motorists will have to use extra caution over such roads until rain or warmth eliminate ice ridges. Too many try to beat an approaching car to narrow passageways. Another danger lies in holes cre- ated by snow plows. Repeated plowings and cold have weakened road surfaces. As a result, holes a foot in diameter and some as Three Seized In Yorktown Tavern Theft YORKTOWN— Three men accused of a burglary in Yorktown early Friday were nabbed an hour later when they were spotted by an alert Peeks- kill detective outside his home. The detective, Sgt. James Nel- son, had risen about 4 a. m. after he had been called to investigate another case. As he dressed, he chanced to see the three alleged burglars—two of whom he imme- diately recognized as men he'd previously arrested on burglary charges. Sgt. Nelson, aided by Peekskill Patrolmen John Bottos and Perley Sloat, brought in all three men to Peekskill police headquarters for questioning. The detective said he had noticed money, beer cases and liquor bottles on the back seat of the men's car, parked across the street from his house. These articles found in the car matched a description given by Yorktown police of items reported missing from the Yorktown Tav- ern on Route 202, which had been entered about 3 a. m. The accused are: Harold Curry, 25, of Old Crompond Road, York- town; John Kinney, 23, of Ver- planck and Arthur Legrant, 18, of Station Road in Crugers. Yorktown police said this morning that all three had signed confessions. They allegedly stole $122 cash and 14 bottles of liquor. They are being held for grand larceny, sec- ond»degree. Legrand is being held for Grand Jury action in lieu of $1,000 bail, police report, and the other two men are parole violaters from Elmira reformatory and therefore held without bail. The Yorktown Tavern was first reported broken into at 3:30 a. m. by Yorktown Ptl. George Ander- son. The case was investigated by Acting Chief Charles Valentine of the Yorktown force.

Volunteers Expand Aid At Hospital MOUNT KISCO— The volunteer department at the Northern Westchester Hospit- al, headed by Mrs. Clarence Wood- ward declared, there have been versar v this month. During the past year, Mrs. Wood- ward said today, there have been increases in the number of volun- teers, in the hours of their service and in the effectiveness of the service. There also were five new volun- teer programs started during the year. Hospital tours for community groups conducted by volunteers the "Candystriper (junior) program providing visitor assistance and clerical and messenger service, an evening program for business women and housewives with small children, volunteer clerical work and patient care given by volun- teer nurses' aides who have re- ceived 60 hours of training under the supervision of Mrs. Edna Self of the hospital's nursing service. The volunteer department also introduced the standard processing of all volunteers, which includes their interviews, placement accord- ing to ability and experience, train- ing and an orientation concerning the hospital and the volunteer de- partment. Aiding Mrs. Woodward in the co- ordination of the volunteers' work with that of the hospital staff dur- ing the year were Miss Marian Andrews superintendent of nurses; Mrs. Arthur W. Huguley Jr., pres- ident of the Volunteer Service League; Mrs. Pare Lorentz. in charge of trustee-volunteer liaison, and Mrs. F. R.

New 'Downtown' Retail Area Urged for Yorktown Heights o A plan for improvement of the Yorktown Heights business district which the author feels could make the area "the White Plains of northern Westchester" was outlin- ed to the Yorktown Lions Club last week. The speaker was Lawrence Bern- stein, a club member and an ac- countant by profession, who has maintained an avid interest since moving to the community from New York 11 years ae;o. He is also vice president of the Yorktown Chamber of Commerce, but spoke strictly in the role of a private citizen. With the aid oJ. a map Bern- stem told fellow members and their wives gathered for dinner at Nino's m Jefferson Valley, that the commercial development of York- town has lagged far behind the "population explosion." Bernstein proposed that the town acquire—by condemnation, if nec- essary, vacant property lying be- tween Commerce St. and the new Route 118 bypass for the construc- tion of two parallel streets. This would provide a major, new shop- ping area, with adequate parking facilities and would attract trade from a wide retail area, the speak- er declared. Bernstein also urged the town to proceed with actual construction of "paper" roads now on the map— among them the extension of Vet- erans Road to the bypass. "Let's fact it," he said, "the Heights business area is the sub- ject of a lot of gags—such as 'it's a good place to shoot a TV West- ern . "The town's population has ex- panded some 400 per cent in the past ten years and yet during this period there has been virtually no commercial growth." Quoting official statistics. Bern- stein outlined the growth of York- town this way: 1925, population 2,385; 1930, 2,724; 1940, 3,642; 1950 4,731; 1960, 16,453 (only 1,000 less than Peekskill), with the 1970 pop- ulation estimated at about 26,000. The speaker outlined various types of shopping centers — the neighborhood center, "such as the A & P;" the community center, of which the Beach Shopping Center is a typical example; the regional center, such as the Cross County Center in Yonkers, and the "down- town" type of center, with parallel streets. The latter category would be best for Yorktown Heights, Bern sein contended, pointing out that such a shopping facility would "open up the town to a number of investors" and there would be "less traveling and less walking" for housewives. "As new business firms come in, landlords of the older businesses will have to improve their facili- ties," the speaker pointed out. New stores would force the hand of the present land owners to kp up with the times." He also observed that "the more business, the less taxes—we, the small taxpayers, have to pay."

The building was not occupied. About 45 volunteers and two trucks responded from the Mohe- gan Fire Co. when the alarm sounded about 2 a. m. The build- ing was completely engulfed in flames when firemen arrived. The blaze was discovered by Ptl. Allen See of Yorktown while on routine patrol duty. Firemen were at the scene for four hours to keep the blaze from spreading to other buildings and another truck replaced the two at 6 a. m. It stayed on the scene un- til 9 a. m.
