HUNTER President Vice- Secretary and Treasurer GEORGE P. FORBES, Publisher second-class matter, October 15, 1925, at the Post Office at Mamaroneck, N. under the Act of March 8, 1879. FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1928 A FAITHFUL SERVANT these days of shifting loyalties and unstable inclinait is heartening to regard the record of Emil Scherer. nil Scherer is a Mamaroneck letter-carrier, who, for ty-three years, has served this village.

This week his hers-workers tendered him a testimonial dinner at which voiced the sentiments which they themselves entertain rd him and with which he is regarded by those who are who have been his superiors. That is as it should be. at public tribute should be paid also to this man who has only been of daily service to the village but who has set in example that should not go unregarded. There are very high stakes set as the prizes postmen may expect he execution of their appointed tasks. Yet those tasks for a tremendous application, since, in no other walk of and in no other occupation is the routine such as to perof so slight deviation.

For twenty-three years Mr. erer has lived up to the best traditions of his modest but ortant position. It has become a matter of record in Maoneck that it is safe to set your watch by him, for he ever late and never absent from his route. That in itself record. He has been the essence of reliability and punctty.

In his one comparatively small job- small when one siders the vast machinery of Uncle Sam's post office: sys-he has done all that could be expected of any man and has won the commendation of his co-workers and his ow townsmen alike. He could not have won richer reds than these no matter what position he held. It is such as Mr. Scherer, doing his job patiently, steadily and pertently that makes us realize why there is carved over portals of the New York City post office, the words of rodatus: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor night stays se couriers from the swift completion of their appointed Inds." A WESTCHESTER POLITICIAN The possibility of the selection of Mrs. Daniel O'Day of as chairman of the New York State delegation to the mocratic convention in Houston is one that fills us with sure.

The delegation will make no mistake if it does deon Mrs. 0'Day as its leader. or several years Mrs. 0'Day has held a prominent place Democratic politics. She combines an astute political se with a charming personality.

The result is that politics he richer for her presence in its ranks and women are the hers for having her as a representative of their sex. That era of politicians who went in for hat-tilting, cigar-chewand shirt-sleeves, has almost passed, is due largely to the sence of women in politics. They bring just as keen brains the men have -often they bring brains with a little more ekground than the men have, for most women active in litics are women of leisure and wealth and therefore, usuwomen who have had opportunities for education and vel most men politicans do not have. The politican arena becoming a place a shade more civilized since women ened it, especially such women as Mrs. 0'Day.

Whatever our political affiliations, we should be happy to such a women designated as the leader of her political pup on such an occasion. She brings grace and dignity any office she holds and there are grateful additions to any blic gatherings. A NEGATIVE VIRTUE Once in a while we're proud of something we haven't done; heave a sigh of relief over something we've missed. One thing we're proud of now is that no Westchester resint and therefore no Mamaroneck resident is participating has participated in the dance marathon in Madison Square. of Westchester don't mind hard work and we do like large izes, but there are certain places where we draw the line.

he of those places is at the entrance to Madison Square. The spectacle these people afford is one to make a civilized rsons wonder about his civilization. What is to be gained this monotonous nerve-wracking, spectacle, either by ectators or participators? Two of the participators may in a prize of $5,000. Scores of others will gain nothing cepting possibly permanently impairing health. It isn't mething to be laughed at; it's something to be lamented.

petty, sordid, pitiable. It's a curious evidence of the leap exhibitionism with which we as a nation are charged. proves nothing, excepting how undisciplined we are in untenancing such a thing and how ineffectual we are in pt having it stopped. We would save half a dozen people omplete physical exhaustion if we did; we would save unpunted others complete mental disgust and we would save ur reputation as a sane and intelligent people among other coples who have not yet stooped to anything as degrading the spectacle still enduring on the floor of Madison Square. ommocks Country Club Links To Open July 15 The new 18-hole golf course at the ammocks Country Club in Larchant will be informally opened for to the members of the club on ly 15.

Vera Robins, former resident Mamaroneck, today was granted a week alimony and $200 counsel LADY LINDY ATLANTIC FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS OF COUNTY OWED DEBT BY REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY "The real estate industry of Westchester county owes a debt of grititude to the financial institations of Westchester county," said William F. Edwards, president of Fish Marvin, yesterday, "and financial institutions of Westchester county owe a debt of gratitude to the real estate operators, developurs, builders and brokers of the county. The two go hand in hand, and are growing up together.

"Nor by financial institutions do we mean, simply the title companies and banks connected them, because they obviously owe their entire existence to real estate and th: market for real estate which they serve. Much has already been said in their behalf. Much more may well be said. Nor do we mean the savings banks, with their c4-eful sys Item of mortgage loans, or the garings loan associations who give such great and liberal assistanca to the smaller builders and the thrifty owners of small homes. They deserve credit for the way in which their business throughout Westchester county has been condurted bu: after all this is the work they were specifically organized to undertake.

"We mean at this time specifically the banks and trust companion National and state--which have by their wise policy in recent years contributed heavily to the acceleration of real estate business in the county, and in turn have profited and prospered thereby. "Take Mount Vernon, for example, which is the home of the Mount Vernon, Trust Westchester. Company, All the the largest banks of this thriving city have done much to build up the city, but as a trust company, and a state institution the Vernon Trust Company has been in a position to do more for real estate than the national banks of the city and what is more officers and directors have seen that this was done, and as resulting reward, this bank, in addition to the beautifully appointed stately new building thrown open to the public only last week, has two completely equipped branches, to serve the ent and west sctions of their city. We mention this institution specifically lat this time because the men who guide its destinies have erected 18 their main headquarters a banking building of which any city or ary county in the United States may well be proud, and it has been made possible by their wise, liberal yet conservative policy of doing busi. ness.

"Similar institutions in other communities abound in Westchester. We do not wish to attempt a catalogue of them but among others We might mention, which have served their communities for many years, are banks like the First National Bank of Mount Vernon, the Yonkers National Bank and Trust Company, The Westchester Trust Company of Yonkers, the Scarsdale National Bank and Trust Company, the Pelham National Bank, the Larchmont National Bank and Trust Company, the Mt. Pleasant Bank and Trust Company, the First National Bank and Trust Company of Port Chester, the National City Bank of New Rochelle, the New Rochelle Trust Company, The Bronxville Trust Company, the First National Bank and Trust Company of Mamaroneck and the Westchester County National Pank of Peekskill. Others might named.

The east may hare been just as wicked, but it was more refined about it. I know just how wet cities like Washington, Baltimore and New York are now, but even today they have some sense of decorum.

Deitschmann is the head man of he unique institution, which is orranized like the stock exchange, with 00 "members' who must abide by an ethical code.

The members legularly canvass the city for discarded clothing. "Pay cash elos! Old clos! Old clos!" is a familiar ery in the residential streets. From 000 to 40,000 pieces of men's wear pours into the exchange every working day. The clothes are not resold over here, but are shipped abroad. "Americans are too rich to buy old clothes, and Europeans are too poor to have them," they say at the exchange.

In Turkey and Arabia there always is a demand for Occidental trousers. Hindus like to wear American vests because the native costume, which consists of loose folds of cotton cloth, has no pockets British traderg buy American trousers and vests to trade for Oriental rugs and native products. They buy American coats to trade for ivory among African natives. Many an explorer comes upon Africans in the wilds, clad grandly in American-tailored coats and nothing else. The cost of maintaining an airplane is about the same as the upkeep of a first-class car, owners of private planes in New York are finding.

Owners of private planes, who keep them in the several public hangars on Long Island, are charged $50 a month, and this fee includes service, such as keeping the engine lubricated, cleaning the ship, warming up the engine when needed, etc. Next to the Bible, New York telephone directories are the most widecirculated books in the world.

The biggest farm sales agency in the world is in New York, and most of its customers are New Yorkers who get away from the city.

Rosenquest, president of Westchoster Lighting Company and its aff'ated companies, made the foregoing statement to more than 70 persons who are employed by these utilities. His auditors, coming from Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, White Plains, Tarrytown, Rye, Ossining, Mount Kisco, Tuckahoe, Flmsford. Port Chester and Peekskill, recently completed a year's term in educational courses maintained by Westchester Lighting and associated companies. Mr. Rosenquest emphasized that more than 2,000 persons were enrolled in five technical laboratory courses and the three accounting courses.

"Of this number," he reporton, "nearly 100 were from our West chester companies "As there is only one prize for each hundred students enrolled, 190 might expect to receive something less than one prize However, by their diligence and ability our ent ployes have made such a splendid record that we lead all companies in the comparative number of prize winners."

Well-informed natives tell me there are 75 or 80 saloons here, of the type of the ten or a dozen that I've looked in on personally. This probably isn't as many as there were in the old days, but a good many of those were what was known as "decent places." These are the kind you're afraid to stick around in, for fear of being caught in the dragnet when the murder's committed. The atmosphere's sordid, vicious, terrible- so vile that, though I can recall it as of yore, now I'm reminded of it, I'd forgotten how bad it was until this layout refreshed my memory. OF hole course of the the police, know town. If every I can find them, an almost complete stranger, does it stand to reason that the local authorities are ignorant of them? Any experienced individual can see with that they're ing "protection." Now, how do the authorities dare to furnish them with it? The only possible answer is that the community approves it- lot every 001 in the community.

A lot of people undoubtedly haven't any notion what's going on under their eyes. But preponderantly-in infuence if not in numbers is gettin what it insists on.
