Did Anybody See This
Fellow Who Looked
Like He Was Uneasy?

Zone meets some funny experiences
autoing," said a young Palisadian
this week.
"Last Sunday" he continued, we
had been up to Bear Mountain Inn,
and on the return trip we took the
new State road from West Haver-
straw that runs to the west of Haver-
straw on past the West Shore pas
senger station in the latter town.
There is that wonderful two mile
stretch over the hills above the brick
kilns, than which there is nothing
more beautiful in the country, by the
way. Right at the station we
noticed a jaunty little Mercer racer
a hundred yards ahead of us with
two young men in it. The driver, a
young chap, looked around and saw
our car coming along at good gait,
so he shot ahead as though to invite
a spin. lit out after him just for
the joke of the thing, and he shot up
the last long climb leaving the Hud-
son through the tunnel-like deep cut
and our car right at his heels. The
little chap kept looking around, now
more frequently than ever, in fact.
About every half minute he would
turn his head at us. Finally he shot
out pretty close to forty-fve miles
and l held him with no difficulty.
After a stern chase, and the traffic
increasing, l concluded to take u
road to the west just about half way
to Nyack, so the little Mercer went
on down the road alone. We logged
along about twenty-five, / guess,
most of the way, coming via the new
State road through the Phelps estate.
We had shifted into second up the
Fort Lee Main street hill, and right
opposite the big moving picture
studio on Leonia Heights whom should
we overtake but the little Mercer
racer. The driver turned his head
and saw us, then shot ahead like a
bullet, l right after him up the steep
hill near Anderson avenue. The chap
and his companion looked at us in
that quarter mile stretch half a dozen
times. When we got to Anderson
avenue, he went to the ferry through
Fort Lee, and we came on home.
Say that fellow would have burnt up
the road if he had hit Anderson
avenue.
"Somebody in our car suggested,
T'1l bet that fellow has done some-
thing and was getting away"
81 hadn't thought of that" conclud-
ed the Palisadian.

Pilgrim Tercentenary

The landing of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth Rock on December Il, 1920,
marks an event of profound signif-
canoe in the history Of the United
States and of the world. They who
landed brought every phase of civil
life. They had their constitution,
their elected officers, their civil or
ganization and an organized Chris
tan church which was substantially
Congregational. Their landing was
the beginning not only of Congraga-
tionalism in America but also of the
best forms of religious, intellectual
and social development. The celebra-
ton of this important event by the
descendants of the Pilgrims is ap-
propriate and may be significant.
The program which has been issued
by the Commission on Missions con-
tains five specifications.
First: The commemoration of po-
litical and religious conviction that
these Pilgrims brought to America.
Second: The churches of the Pill
grim order are seeking to add to their
fellowship not less than half a million
new members.
Third: 1t is hoped that large num-
bers of young people of character
and ability, worthy descendants of
the early Pilgrims, will commit them
selves definitely to a life work of
Christian leadership.
Fourth: That before December 81,
1920 the churches of the Pilgrim fell
lowship shall raise an annual budget
from living donors for missionary
purposes of not less than two million
dollars.
Fifth: That memorial of the Pill
grims be established in the subscrip-
ton of great permanent fund to be
subscribed before December 81, 1920.
A heavy duty falls on the members
of the Commission on Missions in the
raising of this two million dollars.
1t is fervently to be hoped that with
this united effort, in which our be-
nevolent societies join with earnest
ness and devotion, the Commission on
Missions may be able to round up
this sum which is the minimum of
that which should be raised through
their energetic agency.
This Tercentenary marks the united
effort for the intellectual, spiritual
and financial enrichment of our Con-
churches in America.

Sunday Euening
Reuelers Fined

Az result of wedding celebra-
ton in Cliffside Park on Sunday night
four Polacks were fined SIS each and
costs on Monday evening by Acting
Recorder McClave. The charge was
drunkness and disorderly conduct.
The parties, it is understood, were
all from Ridgefield Park. One phase
Of the disturbance was the struggle
to catch handkerchief which a girl
had tossed in the air the winner of
which was to be rewarded with a
dance. Two won it, and as a result
several bottles were thrown about the
assemblage and pandemonium was
let loose.
