FOR POSTMASTER'S JOB

Half a dozen avowed candidates
have cropped up for the position of
Bloomfield postmaster to succeed
Postmaster Herbert c. Farrand,
whose term expires in June. Most
of those who would like to secure the
berth now held by Mr. Farrand. a
Republican, have petitions with a
host of names attached.
Those who have entered the fight
for the place are James w. Crisp.
Edward Higgins, Michael w. Boyle,
George A. Idle, Redmond P. Herman
and several other dark horses. The
candidates each believe they have
the particular qualifications neces-
sary for the job while many are said

that the known entrants are making
such a bitter contest of it that it will
be impossible to make choice among
them and an outsider may get the

TELL WHAT THEY
THINK OF NUTLEY
Humorous and Serious Replies
Made to Minister'S Queries :
About Town.

Many amusing answers were re-
ceived by the Rev. Henry ]. Condit,
pastor of st. Paul's Congregational
Church, Nutley, to a list of ques-
tons on civic and moral affairs. The
clergyman read the replies. but re-
served general comment until later.
His questions We're as follows;
y Should q town have an aim? II
so, what should be Nutley's aim?
(2) What is Nutley for? Does Nut
ley stand for anything In particular?
What should it stand for?
90 What do you think would help
effectively to attain this goal?
(D What are Nutley's chief faults
or defects?
90 What are the special dangers of
suburban life, morally and religious
ly?
90 Morally and religiously, is Nut
ley injured or benefited by nearness
to New York?
% What relation do, or should the
churches bear to the community life?
(S) What more could the ministers
or churches do? Name one thing you
would like to see them try.
go Is a town like Nutley more or
less favorable to the development OF
young people morally and religiously
than a great city?
Q0) Can you name any special dan
gers which beset our young people
in Nutley?
(1) Has Nutley all ii can do to at
tend to its own problems and needs !?
12) Name one or more things you
think would be helpful to attempt for
| the betterment of Nutley.
I'm reply to- the second question
fsome OF the writers thought FNutley
was merely a good place for COM
muters to sleep in" Some did not
| think Nutley should have any aim
In regard to Nutley's faults various
| explanations were offered. Lack OF
cooperation was the main idea.
When it came to the eighth question
as to what more the ministers of
churches should do. the Rev. Mr..
| Condit read one opinion to the effect
| that 1.-The ministries should attend to
| their churches and let politics alone. .
The pastor stopped reading. IF this
man." he said, could prove this state
ment to me i would be willing to sit
down and fold my hands. However,
he added, "Nutley has too many peo-
pie who are willing to fold their
hands and do nothing
One writer said the church is
loosing its example. Another
thought "the church should do away
with it's cake-walks." Another ven
tured the opinion that 1.-THE minister
should not butt in on town affairs.
The Rev. Mr. Condit said he did not
know just what the writer meant In
the last reply.
| AS to the dangers that beset young
people in the town. the pastor re-
ferred to a reply from "a prominent
man and one who knew what he was
talking about" This man, he said,
thought the chief danger was too
much, too much, too much cards.
