Club President Ethel Kent and Civic Committee Chairwoman Ella Sikes presented the flags to White Plains Mayor Silas Clark. When White Plains officially became a city in 1916, an official city seal was adopted, but an of- ficial city flag was not. During a meeting for the planning of the Independence Day celebration in 1942, the need for a flag became apparent, but further work on it was suspended due to World War II. In 1948, at the suggestion of the Woman’s Club, the quest for a new flag was renewed. The mayor appointed a commission to trace the background of the city seal and to make recommendations for a city flag. Representatives from the Common Council, the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, the White Plains Public Library Chris Roithmayr, president of the White Plains Woman’s and the Woman’s Club were se- Club, with Mayor Thomas Roach with the present-day flag. lected for the task. The official seal of the City of White Plains incorporated the colors of blue and buff, repre- senting the colors used by the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, as well as the flag carried during the Battle of White Plains. This flag consisted of a crossed sword and staff, sur- mounted by a liberty cap. The motto of Patriot Patrick Henry, “liberty or death,” is written above the design. The seal also contains the words “Semper Fi- delis,” meaning “always faithful,” and the years 1683, 1776 and 1915.

Currently there is legislation pending be- fore the Westchester County Board of Legisla- tors to modify the Terminal Use Agreement that governs operations at the Westchester County Airport. The TUA, which dates back to 1985, provides that for commercial airline flights of more than nine passengers, no more than 240 passengers may depart and no more than 240 passengers may arrive per half-hour period. The proposed change would change the half-hour limit to a per-day limit. Thus, 11,520 passengers could arrive and 11,520 passengers could depart per day. This would have the effect of potentially increasing airport use because the allotment for early morning hours, when there Legislator David Gelfarb Mt.
