Millard. For 29 years she had served the school, first as teacher and later as assistant to principal, and the record of those years is one of unselfish devotion and' immeasurable good. Her love of children and her understanding of them and their problems called forth a ready response from the heart of every child who came under her kindly influence.

To them she was more than a teacher; she was a friend, a ministering angel who brought spiritual, and often material comfort into many a needy household, and happiness to little ones upon whom the burdens of a troubled world had been thrust too soon. Those who worked with her feel keenly the emptiness left by the absence of one whose warm friendship, cheering smile, and approachable manner had endeared her to all. Yet that absence is only physical, for her presence will always be felt in the continuance of the love and the ideals which she inspired. At her funeral services St. Patrick's R.

C. Church was thronged with devoted friends saddened by the passing of a noble character. yet heartened by the thought that In the Great Beyond, Katherine M. Millard will receive from her Maker her well-earned reward. ONE WHO KNEW HER.

Margaret Brennan is general chairman. My neighbors and I believe that every civic organization and civic-minded citizen should prevent the destruction of this lovely park and pier, the spoiling of the very entrance to the new Belt Highway, the deterioration of the Owl's Head Park section of Bay Ridge, with its unique and beautiful setting; and last but not least the establishing of a precedent for putting sewage treatment works in a residential section such as this. The Mothers Club of Public School 102, 2d Ave. and 72d at its meeting on Tuesday went on record against the sewage treatment plant at Shore Road and 68th St. The opposition to this plan was vigorous and unanimous.

The president of the club is Mrs. Kathryn Relnhart and the secretary is Miss Olive Smith. 'greeting a capacity crowd.

The preliminary proceedings for the placing of the sewage plant in front of Owl's Head Park were so quiet that they could be fairly characterized as secret, as far as the residents were concerned, and when they heard of it they were very much concerned and called a mass meeting and signed petitions. They also enlisted the aid of the Bay Ridge Taxpayers Association and the Narrows Taxpayers Association and other organizations. While it is possible that there may be attractive features in modern sewage works, nevertheless the residents feel that the city should not start a precedent by putting such an "improvement" in a fine residential section.

None has ever been placed in such a section. This one would also be at the very entrance to the Belt Highway under construction, on the landscaping of which the city Is spending so many hundreds of thousands of dollars. The effect of placing it there would change the character of the neigh borhood completely, lower values, to destroy the atmosphere of the place, the view of cool waves and ships, for which the park is famous, the use and enjoyment of the pier, and it would cost the city money, for it must condemn or purchase a part of the Bliss estate, most of which is under water and which is assessed at $150,000. At first the residents said it was unbelievable. Every one said, Why here? Most of the taxpayers pointed out that Poverty Beach at the foot of 14th Ave.

was an ideal site. The city owns a large tract of land there assessed at $3,625,000. The only improvement is a golf course. The land Is swampy, the neighborhood undeveloped and dreary, the location excellent for a sewage treatment works. And there Is plenty ot land for ertendmg the works, as the Coney Island sewage plant, built as recently as 1935, is now being extended.

We ask your kind co-operation and assistance in preventing the city from carrying out these plans, Mrs. Cederstrom said in conclusion. DINING AND DANCING HILARIOUS!

SUNSET 6-9072 to Dine The City of New York proposes to' take the waterfront at the foot of Shore Road and directly in front of Owl's Head Park in Bay Ridge for use as a sewage treatment works. Owl's Head Park is a delightful, hilly little park, with the most charming view of the harbor of New York than can be found and people from all over the country have sat on the benches at the lookout pavilion, which is the high point of the park and which looks down on Shore Road and the adjoining water.

The channel runs very close to the land and large and small boats sail by directly in front of the park and add to its attractiveness. It is a cool spot In the Summer, and not only the residents' children but children brought by the city from other sections enjoy the coolness and look out at the Statue of Liberty and the New York shoreline. The property next to the park is in a zone and is beautifully developed with small homes bought by families with children whose pride in their homey and in the neighborhood has caused them to keep their homes In good repair, plant gardens and otherwise contribute to making the neighborhood highly desirable. It Is near an zone and some of the most beautiful houses in the City of New York. The city proposes to take the land under water almost next to the 69th St.

As far as they are concerned, a woman without a baby carriage can Jim Crow it out in the gutter. But corrugated toecaps on your shoes are not the only hazard of the local shopping district. See that you keep at least one eye on the parade, for the sudden stopping of a baby coach ahead will land you on a carriage propeller's shoulders.

Then go ahead and apologize, you as shouldn't, and all you'll get will be an Indignant stare. In case you're curious about what all those young mothers talk about we can tell you.
