Palisade Post Office
And Wolperts Store
Robbed Of Goods

Some very bad burglars broke into
the Palisade postoffice Friday night
of last week, and took lot of valu-
able merchandise from the store of
Postmaster George Stabel. They did
not undertake to rob the postoffice,
apparently.
After getting about $10O from the
Stabel store, the night visitors broke
through the wire gauze door leading
in Joe Wolpert's store on the other
side of the Stable store in the same
building, and got about 500 in
cameras and other merchandise.
Policeman Patsy Hartnett was called
down for the case, and after study
ing things over, has come to the con-
clusion that he has clue, which he
has been following since.
The robbery was not discovered
until next morning when the post
office was opened. Then the police
were notified.

Home Defense Has
Revolver Practice

Last Sunday morning there were
countless shots heard in Palisade,
and some folks wondered what the
matter was. 1t was the Palisade
Home Defense (fremen) practising
on the Fairgrounds at pistol target
shooting. Captain N. A. Paul and
Sergeant Harry Elkan were there to
give instructions, and the boys had a
great time firing at paper targets till
the shells were all exhausted. A
rack to hold the targets was erected
on the side of the baseball diamond,
and everybody had one or more
rounds at the sport. Two men were
detailed to stand guard on either side
of the grounds some three hundred
PAGES away to warn passersby of the
danger of flying bullets. No one was
in danger with this precaution.
There was a great deal of inter-
est and enthusiasm at the little meet
and it was of great value as prac-
tice. The men needed just that sort
of thing.

CHfside Boys Beat
Leonia' S Best Team

TIE Cliffside High School Baseball
Team has started their season with
rush and their entry into the North
Jersey League was heralded with a
loud bang with their easy defeat Of
Leonia's team this week. Although
the home boys banged out but five
clean wallops, they scored eight easy
runs, and through it all A. Griffin
held the Leonia batsmen at his
mercy. His delivery was almost per-
feet, allowing them but two hits and
sending twenty-one men back to their
bench by tanning them in short order.
H. Grifin's work behind the bat was
also marvel of good playing, nab
bling every attempt at stealing bases.
Grant and Perraud worked squeeze
play in the seventh and it's success
shows in the run column. Sikorski,
playing centerfield, pulled a sensa-
tional play by grabbing liner and
doubling a runner at first. The box
score follows:

Cliffside Boys Form
T. American Guards

Great interest and enthusiasm is
now aroused among the young Amer
leans of Clifside Park Borough in
the Jr. American Guard, an organi-
cation of young boys who have start
ed a campaign of self help and pre-
paredness that is attracting no little
attention from their elders.
Mr.. McClave and Mr.. Martin Con-
roy ave started the ball arollin' and
the initial appearance of the young
soldier boys at the recent entertain
ment of the Trinity Church evoked
much praise and favorable comment.
The plans of the organization calls
for training of a military nature,
woodcraft and signaling. The Guard
will be uniformed and armed, and
although the membership at present
is not large, those who are taking
part in the weekly drills are most en-
thusiastic over the project and are
rapidly enlisting their friends.
Drills are held every Monday night
at the High School and hikes into the
nearby woods are contemplated. All
young boys over twelve years of age
are invited to join and it is estimated
that in very short time the Guard
will have over two hundred active
members. A company site has been
promised the Guard. 1t is located in
Sullivan county, and the youngsters
who are active in the recruiting
work have been making capital of
this.
