announced p lans to construct an $855,000 add ition to th e Library. T he proposed library budget of $298,922 (w hich included $30,000 for th e ex ­pansion) was defeated by a vote of 708 to 270.

A spokesm an for th e L ibrary B oard of T rustees said it was ‘‘very doub tfu l” th a t th e B oard will have a proposed budget ready to resubm it to the voters on Ju n e 13. T he speculation is th a t th e $30,000 item for expansion in the budge m ay be elim inated. Moneys from previous budgets th a t now to tals $175,000 is to be "saved” for ‘‘fu ture expansion plans.”

H ad th e school d is tric t budget been approved the tax ra tes iper $100 of assessed valuation) would have risen from $9.07 to $11.25 in R iverhead ; $10.98 to $13.23 in Sou tham pton , and $13.89 to $17.34 in Brookhaven.

T he L ibrary budget if passed, would have caused tax hikes of 9 cen ts in R iverhead to 57 cents; 11 cen ts in S o u tham p ton to 68 cents and 15 cents in B rookhaven to 88 cents.

A nother casualty of th e May 2 vote was th e $1,000 B aiting Hollow Library budget, w hich was defeated by a vote of 560 to 416. B aiting Hollow L ibrary trustees, were still undecided early th is week on w hether to resubm it th e bud ­get to the voters nex t monh.

I t takes a vivid im agination to pic­tu re a 120-acre fa rm in Brooklyn, but C harles R yder spen t his early ch ild ­hood on ju s t such a farm . I t was in th e year 1926 th a t h is fa ther, finding buildings closing in and taxes too h igh in Brooklyn, sold his farm th e re and purchased land a t O rien t Point. W hen young C harles finished school he also bought a fa rm and lived there un til 1957 farm ing in th e sum m er an d sup- p lim enting his income w ith carpen try jobs In the winter. His in te res t in ca rpen try probably stem m ed from ob- E-erving and assisting his matei-nal g ran d fa th e r and his uncles, who were builders.

Almost 37 years ago he was m arried to L aura Luce, th e daugh te r of M r and M rs Alfred Luce, who had lived all h e r life on Village Lane in O rient. L aura, as was h e r m other, is a ijraci- ous housewife genuinely intere.sted in people, and in particu lar, her husband.

T hey sh a re a concern and feeliny; for each o th e r th a t w arm s the observe;- and m akes th e visitor feel welcome. T hey speak lovingly of visits witli the ir th ree m arried children and of g rand ­children.

W hen th e R yders firs t cam e to O r­ient, it was prim arily a farm ing area w ith a t lea.st th ir ty large farms. I t was a p leasan t and rew arding life. About 25 years ago w hen C harlie was dis­abled during the p lan ting season due to calcification of the spine, th e other fa rm ers cam e down and did all his p lan tin g for him w ithout even being asked. T here was no big fan fare ; their fr iend needed th em and they did w hat h ad to be done. L ater in the .summer he w as gratefu lly able to resume hi.s own re.sponsibilities.

By 1957, however, it .seemed advisable to leave farm ing for th e carpentry trade. T hey sold th e ir farm and p u r­chased land n ea r th e village on a hill
