Postmistress Comstock of the Grant
wood post office and her daughter, Dor
othy, had an attack of Spanish infiu-
enza during the week.
The schools of Cliffside Park were
closed as precautionary measure on
Wednesday because of the many symp-
toms of Spanish influenza which have
been found ON school children of the
borough.
DIR. Hellstern, the school physician,
found 210 children of School No. 3 to
have symptoms of the disease. The
school will reopen Monday if the cases
Of the epidemic decrease.

fiuence of liquor. A member of the
police force wanted to take him home,
and he gave the policeman a black
eye, therefore he was arrested and
brought before the recorder at the
Borough Hall. He was fined 500.
How is it that such thing as talk

ed trivially, and the other offense SO
severely.

blackbirds.
