Hackensack's Large
Post Office Business
During Holiday Time

All former records of the Hack
ensack postoffice were smashed to
smithereens by the great volume of
mail which passed through the local
office during the holiday week just
past, the great volume of the bust
ness being in parcel post mailing,
which this year reached proportions
as remarkable in it's increase over
last year as was the business of 1914
over that of 1918. This increase
reached quite SO per cent, amount
ing to 866 sacks of mail received for
distribution in Hackensack and
Bogota, and 730 sacks of matter sent
out by patrons in these two COM
munities.
This increase in mailings brought
the receipts of the local office to an
amount $500 in excess of the receipts
for the same period last year. So
smooth, however, did the work of the
Office progress during this period of
extraordinary activity that even the
employees of the Office were sur
prised to learn that the business
handled had amounted in the aggre-
gate to such large proportions

Decorations At
The Palisade Union
Church Christina.


The decorations at the Palisade
Union Church for the Christmas
holidays were Of particular beauty.
The windows were all festooned with
small branches of hemlock, giving a
lacey, fernlike effect, while the beams
of the roof structure were covered
with spruce branches. On the rear
wall were the chief effects of the
scheme. Across the space between
the two small gothic windows was
a line of eight and eleven-inch red
letters in Old English containing the
words in an arch, Good Will To All
Men. Below this was another line
bearing the words, Christmas 1915.
Over and under these appropriate
notices were holly wreathes, the
central one bearing red star. Over
the lettering were small sprays of
hemlock, softening the general effect
quite appreciably. The rear of the
stage was decorated with palms and
evergreens, while two large fiat pots
held growing poincettias and ferns,
their red flowers greatly heightening
the effect as whole. Of all the
decorations presented from year to
year in Palisade, these were, per-
haps, the most artistic and admired.

Holy Lnnocents Day
Christmas Tree Service

Holy Innocents Day, December %,
was the day chosen for the Christmas
festivities of the children of Grace
Mission, Grand View. One hundred
persons, children and adults, were
present.
A large and brilliantly decorated
Christmas tree rose from the center
of the chancel toward the high-tim
bered roof; on each side were men,
bers of the Mission choir, and at
the foot of the platform was large
table heavily weighted with sealed
parcels. The body of the church
was filled with people.
The rector, Rev. Montgomery,
opened the exercises with a praise
service of prayers and hymns, and
these were followed by a series of
Christmas verses and pieces by the
children of the Sunday School. The
choir sang with spirit the anthem,
"There were Shepherds" by Charles
Vincent. Mr.. Carson, of Palisade,
read Christmas story by James
Whitcomb Riley.
After the program came the dis
tributing of gifts to all present.

Motoring After Facts
Following Big Storm

Winter motoring is getting fash
ionable. Last Sunday, notwithstand-
ing the high wind all day, there were
quite number of machines out, and
as the snow was not over three
inches, travel was not bad at all. The
high wind blew the roads clear, al
most, so that automobiles really had
very easy going. The many roads
leading to Nyack were all in very
good shape indeed, and twenty-five
miles an hour was an easy accom-
plishment.
Some six miles south of Nyack the
high early morning wind blew down
an enormous barn, pushing the roof
to the north, the side walls collapsine
in an outward direction, as though
the building had exploded from all
compression from within.
Along the many roadways of north
Bergen scores of telephone poles
heavy with telephone wires, were
blown over, and linemen were busy
all day and we'll into the week re-
pairing them. In some places the
telephone wires were down, poles
and all, in quarter-mile stretches. IT
takes very high wind velocity to bowl
over telephone poles, with no snow
or ice on the wires, because it has a
very small hold. The woods in the
Palisades section were covered with
dead branches, and some old trees
were toppled over.

Congregationalists'
Year End Activities

The Rev. Alfred Church, of Grant
wood Congregational Church, when
interviewed on Thursday last in re-
gard to the year end activities of his
church spoke glowingly Of the
church's Christmas celebration on
the Thursday before Christmas. 1t
was largely a festival for the chill
dren, but there were other interest
ing features, including the reading of
a poem by Mrs. Marion Gray, illus
trated by stereoptican views and
stories of famous Christmas paint
ings illustrated by stereoptican views.
Each child was made happy by gifts
of toys and boxes Of candy. Gifts
of ten-dollar gold pieces were made
to Mr.. Moody, organist and Mrs.
Kenworthy, pianist. The pastor re-
ceived the welcome gift of five ten
dollar gold pieces from his congre-
cation, and one five-dollar gold piece
from the Sunday School scholars.
These were presented in an attrac-
tive case.
Owing to the severe snow storm on
Christmas Sunday morning the at
tendance was not so large as usual.
The pastor preached on the "Christ-
mas Heart" In the evening the spe-
cial Christmas music was rendered.
The sermon dwelt on the effect of
the spirit of Christmas in making
humanity burst forth into song, hap
piness and good cheer.
On Wednesday evening last the
New Years meeting of the Chris
tian Endeavor was held. The Rev.
Ekins was present and spoke.
On Thursday evening last the class
for mission study met at the pastors
home.

Snow, Thunder And
Lightning Storm

section, bent and swayed under the
force of the wind, and things were
very squaIy, indeed. About eight
thirty on Sunday morning, there was
ripping thunder report, like the
cracking of four pound rifle cannon,
then a binding flash of lightning
that made one think something was
happening up in the skies that was
not at the right time. Be that as it
may, the snow came faster and more
furiously and the thunder vollies went
echoing over the Palisades to the
southeast across the Hudson TO New
York. About ten o'clock the snow
ceased falling, but the wind appeared
to get stronger every minute, and
howled itself through the tall trees
and swayed them over and back
again till they almost snapped. 1t made
song of terror tearing around the
corners of houses, and whistled music
that carried not tune, but a worst
shrek and scream that were angrier
than the furies in their worst mood.
The snow fall was not heavy, but
drifted quite high in spots. Around
trees for space of three or four
feet the drifts were all in circle,
another strange thing in snow Of high
velocity. Many people have never
been able to understand this peculiar
snow formation, but it is easily ex-
planned by local student of physics,
who told "The Palisadian" how it all
came about.
"You see," he explained, when the
wind blows the snow along, and it
hits a tree, it gives a whirling mo-
ton t. it, and forms sort OF eddy
current. Then the snow finally falls
around a kind of vacuum created by
the wind, and when it finally reaches
the ground, it all falls in circle,
radiating as it does arounl the tree
trunk, and falling in graduated
circle, deeper at the inner edge, owing
to the force of the dimishink wind In
the eddies. You see it is like !" :.
eyes, l see, replied the reporter"
your explanation is satisfactory
enough, but I cannot see for the life
OF me what makes the WIND go founu
and round that way, and why, If the
snow, light substance that it is, is
not blown galley west"
"Well, you see, there is so much
snow, and the swirls keep coming
in such close proximity to the per-
imeter of the circle around the foot
of the tree that when the snow gets
to falling regularly, it makes the
larger circle because it is not blown
away like enc would naturally sup
pose would be the case under the
circumstances. The more one thinks
of the cause of the circles in a high
winded snow storm, the simpler it
all becomes to, enc who understands
it. Now to me, it is all very :
