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.

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
