Tips To Prepare Home For Hurricane
Householders Are Advised To Check Their Domain for Safety and Provide Supplies Essential To Health during a Severe Storm.

A warning to the public that the annual hurricane season is at hand and a list of safety precautions that should be taken by householders, was issued yesterday by the New York State Civil Defense Commission.
The Commission has also asked each of the State's 85 local CD directors to review with his staff all procedures that would apply locally in the event of a hurricane, tornado or flood.
In his warning to the public, Acting Stat Civil Defense Director Joseph P. Hennessey said:
"Most of the disastrous recent storms and floods in N.Y. State have occurred in the months of August, September and October. With increased awareness of the danger to be expected, and by taking advance safety precautions around the home, loss of life and property in this State can be greatly reduced.  Civil Defense forces in each locality are prepared to assist the civic agencies at the first hint of any storm danger. In the meantime, each householder can do many things now, and at the time of a storm warning, to protect his family and property."
The Acting Civil Defense listed the following advance safety precautions that should be taken:
Check supplies of batteries, flashlights, candles, lamps, wicks, kerosene, etc., in the home. Be sure that portable radios are in working order.
Check conditions of your cellar, which may well be flooded by water. Be sure that valuable articles that could be damaged are moved now to a safe place. Check cellar windows.
Be sure that furniture and other movable objects on porches, and lawns are ready to be swiftly moved to safe places. Loose objects can become dangerous missiles.

Exper Talks On Medieval Writing
Rotary Luncheon Gathering At Gus' Deer Inn Hears Mrs. J. T. Borer Describe Works of Letters and Art of Middle Ages. 
Because reading was once considered the privilege of only the select few, writers once made great efforts to obscure letters so they would be meaningless to the common people. Mrs. Jonathan T. Borer of Croton Falls told the Brewster Rotary Club this week at their luncheon meeting in Gus Deer Inn. 
An authority on writing and manuscripts of the Medieval period, Mrs. Rorer has made a number of trips abroad and presented to Rotarians selections from her slide library collection of the Book of Kells, written by Irish Monks during the 8th or 9th century. 
Introduced by program chairman, Dr. Bernard Ross, she informed the club that two of these illustrated pages are to be found over the altar of St. Lawrence O'Toole Roman Catholic Church in Brewster. She urged the men of the club to take advantake of the finest opportunity afforded by the Morgan Library in New York City to see some of the finest work in this field which is the only collection of its kind in the United States.
Mrs. Rorer pointed out that during the Medieval ages reading was reserved for only the very prominent, and contrary to our modern concept, great effort was made to obscure letters so they would be meaningless to most people. This process led to the priceless illuminations depicting the gospels and the saints of the church and also the development of symbols with ecclesiastical meaning. Her lecture concluded with pictures of the Vatican Library which has been recently opened to allow scholars to film and study the treasures it contains.

Chester Beach, 75 A Sculptor, Dies
Distinguished Artist Worked in Various Mediums and Won Wide Recognition. The War Memorial Statue at Brewster is His Work. 
Chester Beach, sculptor, died Monday, August 6, 1956, in his summer home, Oldwalls, Star Ridge Road, Brewster, N.Y., after a long illness. He was 75 years old. FOr forty-five years, his studio and residence were at 207 East Seventeenth Street, New York. 
He was president of the National Sculture Society in 1927-1928. In 1918, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He was also an academician of the National Academy of Design. 
Mr. Beach was born in San Francisco, May 22, 1881, a son of Elizabeth Ferris and Chilion Beach. He studied sculpture under Verlet and Roland, in 1903-06 in Paris, where he won the gold medal of the Julian Academy in 1905. He established a studio here in 1907. In that year, he won the Barnett Prize for sculpture of the National Academy of Design. 
His three large sculptural groups, 'Primitive, Medieval and Modern Progress', won a medal at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in 1915. In 1939, he was represented by a fountain, 'Riders of the Elements", at the New York World's Fair. 
Among his works in New York are a bronze bust of Adolph Lewisohn in the stadium Mr. Lewisohn gave to City College; at Barnard College, the bronze figure of a modern college girl in a torch race, called "The Spirit of the Barnard Creek Games", and a bronze figure, "Service", with marble relief figures, "Messages of Peace and War", in the American Telephone and Telegraph Building, 195 Broadway. 
Mr. Beach won the prize of the American Numismatic Society in 1919 for his medal commemorating the Peace of Versailles. He also designed the Monroe-Adams, Hawaiian, Lexington-Concord and City of Hudson half-dollar coins. The numismatic society awarded to him its Saltus Medal in 1946 for distinguished medallic work. 
The War Memorial statue, at the entrance to the Village of Brewster near the baseball field was designed by Chester Beach in 1932. Services on Memorial day are held on the triangular plot which forms the setting for the statue, the figure of a young soldier. 
The last work completed by Mr. Beach early in 1955, before his illness, was a plaque of Benjamin F. Fairless, since retired as president of the United Stats Steel Corporation. 
Mr. Beach is survived by his widow, Mrs. Eleanor Murdock Beach; three daughters, Mrs. Paul R. Fitchen of New York, Mrs. Vernon C. Porter of Putnam Valley and Mrs. John McLaury of Osprey, Fla., and four grandchildren.

Mortimer Bloomer To Mark 90th Birthday

Mr. Bloomer will welcome callers from 2 to 5 in the afternoon and 7 to 10 in the evening. 

Hospital Requires Funds for Growth
Increasing Demands for Service at Mahopac Hospital Mean More Space and Equipment Are Essential.
Quite often apparent incongruities re common place rather than the exception. As one example, Mrs. Mary McLaughlin and Philip Shatz, co-chairman of the 1956 Fund Drive for the Mahopac Hospital, have just mailed out 10,000 letters as part of the solicitation of $16000 to offset the operating deficit that must be made up out of public contributions. 
At the last Hospital Board meeting, Mrs. Rosemary Weiss, superintendent, in making her regular monthly report, disclosed that it had been necessary to refuse admittance to at lease one expectant mother because the Nursery facilities for newborn babies were already fully used. This is not an isolated instance but rather is significant of the need for additional facilities, of all kinds, at the Mahopac Hospital. 
There really isn't any incongruity between these two statements. Hospitals, like every other community service, must keep apace of population growth and ever increasing demands for increased use as well as the utilization of the most modern equipment in its effort to provide comfortable surroundings for those who require special help at the very special time. 
The last thought is the one compelling reason for having a hospital and at the same time is key to just why there is a deficit and why additional hospital space is needed. A hospital must be ready, within reason, to meet the greatest potential demand that can be made upon it, without any guarante that it will be continuously filled to capacity, and actually with the hope that it may never have its facilities fully used. 
To help make sure that adequate hospital facilities may be available when you may need them, why not send in your donation today? Make your check payable to "Mahopac Hospital" and send it to attention of the Annual Fund Drive.

Delafield Bros. Buy Brady-Stannard Fuel
New Owners Will Handle Scony Mobil Oil Products and Establish Oil Burner Service. Both Delafield Brothers Will Make Their Homes in Brewster.
On Wednesday, August 1, 1956 William S. Delafield and his brother Joseph L. Delafield began the operation of the former Brady-Stannard Fuel Company under the new firm name of Delafield Brothers at 87-89 North Main Street, Brewster. 
This site was originally opening in the early 1920s as a bulk terminal by the Standard Oil Company of New York who has purchased the property from the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. Early in the depression years Daniel E. Stannard and the late Simeon Brady, Jr purchased the property and commenced the operation of the Brady Standard Motor Company, and in October 1930 organized the Brady Standard Fuel Co., which was purchased from them in 1945 by Lucy A.M. Brady and Stephen Brown who continued its operation under the same firm name. Under their ownership the company became a distributor for Scony Vacuum Oil Company Inc., now known as the Scony-Mobil Oil Company, Inc. The territory served by them extended from the Norther Westchester area through eastern Putnam Coupnty and into southeaster Dutchess County. 
Delafield Brothers will continue to operate as a bulk terminal and distributors of gasolines, fuel oils, kerosenes, motor oils, mobilubes, greases and automotive accessories of the Socony Mobil Oil Company, Inc. They expect in the near future to establish complete fuel oil and oil burner service with a qualified service man available at all times. 
Wililam S. Delafield, a former resident of Scarsdale, N.Y., is particularly well acquainted with the products they will handle having been associated with Socony Mobil Oil Company, Inc., for the past fifteen years. During that time he had been associated with them in upper New York State and at the central office of the company in New York City as well as at various posts in Europe and South America, most of this time as an area coordinator in the heating oil branch of the company. During World War II he served as a captain with the 82nd Airborne Division in command of a 
parachute regiment in the European Theater of War. Both he and his brother are natives of Westhampton, Long Island, where they spent their early years. Joseph L. Delafield has been merchandising manager of Coats and Clarks Sales Corp of New York for the past twenty years. During World War II he served as captain in the U.S. Army Amphibious Engineers in the Pacific Theater of War. 
William S. Delafield and his family have recently moved to Brewster and are now occupying the Talcott property on the Foggintown Road north of Brewster. Joseph L. Delafield, who has been residing in Princeton, New Jersey, expects to make his home in Brewster as soon as he terminates his
