70 The Voters OF
Cliffside Park

At the annual school election or
March goth you will decide whether
my three year record as member OF
the Board Of Education justifies my
reelection to that Office. During these
three years have stood for progress
efficiency and economy.
For progress because ! believe the
children whose future is placed in our
care shall receive the best education
possible.
For efficiency because new ideas
and established practices can only
produce results II they are efficiently
applied.
For economy because all expendi-
ture which does not add to the eff1ci-
ency Of our school system must be
eliminated.
Finally believe that our taxpay-
ers can only secure full return on the
sum they have invested In school
buildings if the buildings are in con-
slant use for community and civic
purposes.
Respectfully.

Slipped The Slips,
Did Bad Man Who Was
In Foeppels' Garden

Another bold burglar spent a little
time in Palisade last Sunday night.
This time he was mere clothes line
prowler, and happening to see three
dainty pillow slips hanging on the
line at the w. j. Foeppels, in Dear
born road, he slipped in and slipped
the slips-a sort Of slippery job, Of
course, but he slipped BY the police.
Mr.. Foeppel says he does not care SO
much for the original cost Of the slips,
but things "has riz"' these latter days,
and there is no telling just how much
his loss amounted to. Anyhow, if
any apple peddlers come around,
watch the bags they carry-they may
be the uonogrammed Foeppel pillow
slips.

Yeuow Dog Mystery
Is Still A Myster,

A new order or organization has
been formed, has been in existence q
long time, is being contemplated or il
in progress of formation. Somebody
said the name of the organization is
the Ancient and Honorable Order of
Yellow Dogs. Somebody else said its
name was 1.-THE Yellow Dogs" What
it is, who is behind it and what its
purpose is can only be guessed. It Is
very, very secretive, everybody knows
all about it, no one can tell anything
about 1t. Somebody told reporter
that invitations were out for a BAN
quet, somebody else Immediately de-
MED it.
It is generally understood that
about forty of our best citizens will
be duly licensed and otherwise initi-
ated this Saturday night, somewhere
in Cliffside."
The mongrels will be formally &C.
copied as Inceped Ours and can
then advance to Yellow Dogs.
A trace of the history of this or
ganization is almost impossible.
Somewhere in the wild and woolly
West, in small college, state in
stitution, perhaps a jail) or COM
mercial college, several years ago the
first Yellow Dogs started their work.
It seems to be strongest throughout
the South at present and man from
those parts, or rather a stray Yellow
Dog landed in East Bergen and start
ed it here. The local Yellow Dogs
have been congregating in. or near
Hudson Heights but have been COM
PEELED to seek larger kennels for their
entertainments, invitations and gen.
eral Publications.
The program of entertainment for
this Saturday night is most secretive.
In fact an air of mystery surrounds
the entire business. 1t cannot be
ascertained whether any Of the Police
Department are due to be initiated.
AT any rate the S. p. C. A. has re-
ceived no reports of brutality to stray
Yellow Dogs, William O'Brien, the
Official Dog Censor has no means Of
getting record and in spite Of this
it is high time to stop Kicking my

Faculty Trims Seniors
At Basket Ball Game

At last the hour Of triumph is a
hand and their is nothing more to be
desired by the Cliffside No. 8 School
Faculty Basket Ball Team. The
High School Senior Girls Team have
been threatening the Faculty with
all manner of dire punishment and
dared them to come out on the, basket
ball court; only once would be sutfi-
cient. With quaking knees and sink
ing hearts the school ma'am braved
the terrors and temper Of the brave
seniors on Wednesday afternoon ut
the Cifside Park High School gym.
The only fear in the hearts Of the
seniors was that the storm would
keep their opponents away, but the
spirit Of the occasion spurred the
teachers on.
The game was started az all basket
ball games do, and in very few
minutes the Faculty found the weak
spots and played all around the
boastful seniors. The spectators, and
there were many of them, claimed it
was one of the most thrilling games
Of the season, only, at times the
seniors appeared to be standing per-
fectly still, apparently hypnotized by
the speed of the Faculty team.
The line up was as follows:

Palisade Police
Cause OF Much
Angry Discussion.

There are many evidences Of q
needed shakeup in the Fort Lee polica
department.
There is not single sign that there
will be any.
The many recent burglaries in Pali-
SADIE have set the whole town ia
thinking, and many citizens are mad
clear through that robberies continue
and nothing is done. e
The bungling job, successful
enough, Of course, Of the N. A. Paul,
home last week, proves that mere
hours are nothing to the home burglar.
The police mind generally associates
midnight or the wee sma' hours with
burglar calls. But in Palisade they
come at any old hour, early or late,
and in any event the hour counts the
same, since they get away and are
never caught. -
Notwithstanding the fact that
whistles Of the whole neighborhood
were blown on the night Of the Paul
robbery, the policeman never did get
the blast until someone at the juno
ton told him Of the noise. This could
happen, Of course, for the wind could
carry q whistle sound away, and Mr..
Heft may not hear well. At any rate,
the other policeman was on the job,
and went to the Paul home and went
through the house. When Policeman
Heft finally got to the scene, he saw q
good-sized crowd Of citizens gathered,
was told Of what had happened, mere
ly said "Huh!" and went away. The
wonder is why he didn't 60 in and see
,k~% Aha h,,v<roe~ ho 1,4k Mn~xho l. =
didn't think 1t was necessary after
the thing was all over and the burg
lar, like the horse in the barn, had
gotten away. -
A leading citizen in speaking Of
the robbery said to The "Palisadian:"
II don't want to take snap judge
m'ent, but if / were the mayor
would try some other plan Of polio
ing Palisade. / think the matter
should be treated fairly, but there is
no room here for argument on the
demand for . change. I really do
not see why we have any police at
all. The more we cry for protection
the less we get. Look at the bastard

I should think the administration
would sense their own shame and let
the public know they are at least will

awhile. No one man can be in all
places Of his beat all the time. It
may be that Ofdcer Heft is not really
or morally responsible for these end

team seems to desire another and the
faculty will oblige them next Monday
