Mayor Wagner did the honors. Also present were Borough President John Cashmore, Traffic Commissioner T. T. Wiley and Public Works Commissioner Frederick H. Zurmuhlen.

They attended the ceremonies which had originally been planned for two weeks ago but which were postponed by the rainy Spring weather. At any rate, the Bensonhurst parking field is now a reality. The 100-car field is the first in the projected program undertaken by the Traffic Department in its 10-year plan to provide off-street parking facilities for 40,000 cars. Other fields and garages will be erected at an estimated total cost of $94,000,000. The Department of Public Works supervises the construction alid, upon completion, turns over the facilities to the Department of Traffic for operation and maintenance.

The Bensonhurst field cost $38,824 to build. In the works are other such fields and a huge under CO IO 10 CI ground parking garage to be constructed in the Brooklyn Civic; Center at an anuroximated cost of $3,800,000. Now, we're all for these parking fields and garages. But when we think that a total of 40,000 cars will be all these city built plots will hold, well It's just a drop in the ocean with the millions of cars that go through New York each day. But, again, until somebody can come up with a better solution, we'll have to keep on adding these drops together in the hope that some day they will equal the ocean.

Excitement In Sheepshead Bay There's a big hassle going on in historic Sheepshead Bay. Seems the folks out in that waterfront area have gone and gotten themselves a big, spanking new high school. And a right beautiful building it is. Trouble is, the folks in Sheepshead Bay are pretty much split down the middle as to what to call the new school. Old timers are content to call it, simply, Sheepshead Bay High.

Others, mostly the younger generation, are against naming the school for the head of a sheep. So the battle rages. And we've been thinking. Isn't it wonderful to see folks battling over nothing worse than the. name of their community high school? May the best name win! Letters I to the I Editor That High School Again I know it seems like a relatively small thing, but the question of naming the new high school in Sheepshead Bay is of some consequence to the people who make up the residents of that community.

We are an old community. In fact, we were the very first English settlement in what is now the borough of Brooklyn.

Brooklyn has decided to bring this Cold War down to Luke Warm. We're sending our own Ambassador of Good Will to the Reds.

If this envoy from Brooklyn can't do it, start digging that bomb shelter! Our Secretary of State has tried talking to the boys in the Kremlin. The Secretary of the UN has tried to talk turkey. They don't seein to have gotten very far with the Moscow; Mob. So now we're sending over a young man who talks their language. We know he does, because the Reds have specifically invited him to Moscow.

It's Brooklyn's own Bobby Fischer, the 15-year-old chess whiz. Bobby finished his Regents examination at Erasmus High School last week and took off immediately after with his older sister, Joan, via air for Brussels, Belgium. The Sa-bena airplane flew him there so he could take a look at the Fair and let the Fair have a look at him. Today, he is in Moscow where he will engage in practice games with Russian grandmasters of the ancient and muchly-admired game of chess.

After that ma or chess event, Bobby will go off on a further goodwill tour sponsored by our State Department. He has also been asked to participate in the Chess Olympics to be held at Munich, Germany, from September SO to October 23. However, Bobby has decided to pass up that opportunity. He wants to be back at good old Erasmus High when it starts classes again in early September. The Russians are pretty excited about the youngster from Brooklyn They are providing full hospitality for him and his sister during their stay in Russia.

Yugoslavs, too, are providing full room and board for six weeks. Prague, Czechoslovakia, also has put in a bid for Bobby's time. Right now, the champion chess player of the world is a Russian, Mikhail M. Botvinnik. If Bobby can take his competition, he should get a chance to meet the Red champ in a matched playoff.
