before, Jerry got them to the last

But all the time Jerry was puzzled.
He couldn't understand why that
stranger was bringing him all those
good things to eat. At the same time
Jerry was growing careless. He no
longer used his eyes and nose so care
fully when he approached the places
where those good things were left.
In fact sometimes he was in such
hurry to get them that he didn't look
at all. but just scrambled up where
the good things were. You see. not
once had he found a single thing
wrong. He was beginning to doubt
that the stranger was a trapper at

look on the stranger as very good

A LIVE CHRISTMAS TREE
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

Copyright, 1872
An excellent suggestion in regard to
the tree for next Christmas comes
from the American Forestry Associa-
ton.
1t is. that instead of Cutting Down
a tree we Plant a Tree.
We have never fully awakened TO
the Importance of trees. and our reck-
less slaughter Of these friends OF man
has been shameful.
When the town has a municipal
Christmas tree. which Is the COM
mendable custom in some communi-
ties. instead of sacrificing a noble
pine, plant one in the public square,
and let the community rally be held
about a live and growing thing ana
not dead one.
The unique instructions follow:
Cut

tree wisely and
thereby display the
right Christmas spirit.
Each year thousands
of jewellers in town and
cities, near the National
Forests or privately owned
forests. turn to these tracts
for trees which TO be the

mendations of the Forest Service
and state forestry departments
no harm is DONE but the tendency
of many is to slash into the growth
without regard to conserving the forests
resources. tree selected for cutting
should be one which is part of a group of
trees Of comparatively compact growth,
rather than q more or less isolated tree.

times made to selecting for Christmas pur

because the one chosen is apt to Nv IN

irregular and unattrsctive. This
difficulty can be overcome by select

would be quite smart for afternoon
wear.
Present season frocks worn by Amer
leans generally show long sleeves
that is, except the frocks designed
for evening or dressy afternoon wear.
According to all indications, however,
the prejudice that has existed in the
minds of American women against
the display of a long expanse of bare
arm. except in the evening or in the
privacy of the home, has at last been
dispelled, and next spring will see
women wearing wool frocks of the
tailored or semi-tailored type, equip
ped with sleeves that are well above
the elbow.
1t is also announced that plaids
will have very strong run of favor
in tailored street apparel in the
spring. Many very smart and also
very striking plaid wool fabrics are
being brought out to meet this de-
mand. Or perhaps the demand has
been created to take care of the hand
some plaids that have already been
woven! In any event, plaids are to
be worn. and they will not at all. as
is usually the case. be confined to
garments for the members of the
younger set.
Incidentally. bolero and eton jack
cts are to be much in the limelight
next spring. both for coats and frocks.
For southern resort wear some very
smart bolero effects are being brought
out. one striking example having a
skirt and jacket of white. blouse of
vivid red. and pantalettes OF red which
show the tiniest bit below the skirt,
bringing about a sort Of modified
harem silhouette.

Palisade Wants
Palisade Avenue
Improved by Boro,

The general public of the Borough
of Fort Lee, particularly in the Pail
SADIE section, are enthusiastically back
ing the project before the mayor and
council for the Strengthening and i'm
proving of PaliSade avenue. The in
tention is to improve that thorough
fare from the northern line of Cliffsde
Borough to Lemoine avenue, in Fort
Lee, that there shall be through out
let northward from the Eastern Boule-
ward of Hudson county to the northern
limits of Bergen.
Palisade avenue has already been
improved through Cliffside and Grant
wood, receiving state and county aid,
and it is expected that similar aid will
be given to Fort Lee in its part of
the Improvement, which will involve
an expenditure of $4,000. AT a re-
cent meeting of the Fort Lee council
delegation from the PaliSade In
prOvement Association, composed of A.
w. Tams, George H. Frew, Vincent B.
Kelly, Ernest Sibley, Max Neinstadt,
Ralph Reid and f. w. Bull, appeared
in and advocated the Palisade avenue
project.
The Palisade Improvement Associa-
ton has adopted the following reso-
buttons:
Resolved, That the Palisade I'm
provement Association heartily COM
mends the mayor and council for its
action in taking steps for the straight
ening and improving Palisade avenue
from the southern boundary line OF
the Borough of Fort Lee nOrthward so
that it shall eventually connect with
Lemoine avenue, and we rejoice that
the supervisor of highways and the
board of freeholders of Bergen county
have shown a public spirited determi-
nation to back the efforts of our local
officials;
Resolved, That in the opinion OF
the members of this association these
officials, both municipal and county,
will show far-sighted wisdom in push
ing this project to successful conciu-
sion at the earliest possible moment.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1919-06-21

The completion of this highway would
have the effect of dividing the north
and south traffic between Anderson
and PaliSade avenues and thus relieve
the present congestion on Anderson
avenue. During the last two years the
traffic on Anderson avenue has in
creased so enormously that it has be-
come dangerous to users of vehicles
and to pedestrians, and it shows con-
slant tendency to continue to increase.
Unless the congestion is relieved An
derSon avenue will become so crowded
that it's use will become very danger
Gus for drivers of automobiles and
many of them are likely to shun the
eastern section of the county.
"Resolved, That we believe this
work should be undertaken at once
for the purpose of giving employment
to workers in need of jobs. The gov
eminent is encouraging every COM
munity to take up public improve
ments not alone because they are need
ed, but also for the purpose of prOvid-
ing employment until such time as
conditions due to the war become nor
NAL, and it is only right that our Dor
ough and county should join in work
that is rapidly becoming nation wide
in its scope;
Resolved, That we believe that in
addition to the benefits from the pro-
posed enterprise already enumerated,
the opening of Palisade avenue would
add hundreds of thousands of dollars
at the ratables of the borough and
county by the encouraging of home
building and development and by
bringing in hundreds of new residents
and home owners:
"Resolved, That copies of these res
olutions be forwarded to the mayor
and council of the Borough of Fort Lee
and to the Board of FreehOlderS of
Bergen county, with the urgent re-
quest that the work be pushed rapidly
so that the new avenue can be opened
for traffic before the coming winter.

Woman's Club Notes.

The educational department of the
WOman's Club held a special meeting
last Thursday afternoon to consider
the pros and cons of the bonus of So
600 requested by the teachers of the
borough, which was to be the occasion
of special meeting and vote on June
II.
The meeting was held on the grounds
of Mrs. George Venables' home, and
the hostess presided as chairman for
the day, being appointed by President
Benda in the absence of Mrs. J. White,
the educational chairman.
The group of club members discuss
ed the matter, and much information
was gained as to local and neighbor-
ing school conditions, as Mrs. Venabes
had obtained information about the
latter, Mrs Benda about the former,
and Mrs. j. Coulter, principal of
School No. 3, and Mrs. w. Wood, also
a local teacher, both members of the
Woman's Club, were present with in
formation and articles to read.
The minimum salary in Union Hill
and other towns below is $3.50, that of
Cliffside Park is 1925, and the new
state law provides that no town shall
have less than $720.
The teachers of Union Hill We're
granted a bonus of $50 average re-
Gently.
After the afternoons session the
concensus of opinion seemed to be in
favor of increasing the salaries of the
teachers, which everywhere are too
low, and of thus increasing the eff
cheney of the school system and of the
future citizens of the community, and
to do this even though some other i'm
proyements must be postponed, some
not being of such immediate or far
reaching importance.

CLIFFSIDE TEACHERS
TO GET 500 BONUS

The special meeting at the High
School called for vote on the $1,000
asked by the Board of Education for
bonus averaging 500 each for the
teachers was not very largely attend
ed, but gOodly representation of wo-
men was present, including the Wo-
mans Club members and the teachers.
The Citizens Club, which voted to
support the measure, was also pres
ent, and Mr.. C. e. Velsey counted the
votes, while Mr.. Burns and Mr..
Whelan watched and Mr.. Kelly, clerk
of the Board of Education, recorded
Them
The result was an overwhelming
vote in favor of the measure and the
teachers should feel satisfied, even
though not receiving the bonus until
September.

Community House
Mass Meeting Gets

yea or nay to the proposal of issuing,
say, $4,000 in bonds at 4 per cent. at
thirty years, then ask the borough to
back up the enterprise and put the
cost in our tax bills. Nothing was
done on the suggestion, however, and
it remains among the several plans i'll
hand.
Mr. Guhse spoke on the issue, told
of how the Oradel club was managed
and was sure the Palisade community
house could be made even better. He
told of Nils PaulsOn having offered to
donate $1,000 to the work, and then
was the start of an enthusiastic few
minutes, the first real spice and pep
yet thrown into the deliberations Mr..
Goodman agreed to give $500, payable
in five years; Mr.. Sharp $500, Mr. Sib-
ley $500, George e. Clark $780, George
Roedeles 5000, ]. J. Miller 5000 and
several others raising the sum prom
Used at the meeting of $500.
Taking the meeting all in all, it was
the best of the two so far held, and
the first real action was taken, making
the outlook bright for the successful
conclusion of the work There will be
other committee meetings, then sub
committees will be put to work can
vassing the town for the final round
up.
1t was decided to have the commu-
nifty house run under the auspices of
the Union Church, as the church was
on-denominational and represented all
sides of community religious sentiment.

ourselves for this community house.
The proposal has for its starting point
the issuing of, say $4,000 per cent
municipal bonds, payable in 30 years.
With the backing of the borough these
bonds should be salable in Wall street
or through private corporations deal
ing in municipal securities. With this
money we could buy suitable location
with ample grounds without being I'M
der obligations to anyone and buy and
build in the right place. We could put
up a suitable building and take part of
the capital say $4,000, and sustain
the community house on the income.
The other details of maintenance could
be worked out, such as membership
dues, charge for service in sports, NOV
ing picture shows, and the like. There
is no doubt about the enthusiasm with
which this enterprise would be hailed
in this section of the country. If a
membership were desired from the
nearby borOughs it could be readily OBJ
tanned, with small annual dues at
tached for the privileges of member
ship.
Now, my friends, this is no idle
dream of mine. 1t is sincere thought
on a reasonable idea and would give us
what we are trying to get with the
least amount of trouble. 1t would at
this time involve perhaps no touch of
politics.
And lust one more thought. A few
months ago we were all crying aloud
against the turning of Bluff road into
state highway. We spent whole
lot of money going after that and fail
ed Now, here is the big point [ am
making, worth more than all other
things connected with what l have
said: If we are to have Bluff road
made into a great highway why not
turn it into an asset instead of damn
ing liability? Instead of weight
about our neckS it can be made into
great profit if we do this thing we are
Gated on prominent corner alongside
of the Bluff road highway would have
an advertising value the greatest in
the world. People Will be travelling
over it's smooth surfaces each way dali
ly by thousands, and they would see
this beautiful community house we are
going to build and wonder what man
ner of village could have such an at
traction It's advertising Importance
alone should be enormous. But you
can lose all this if you locate the new
enterprise where it can never be seen
except by those who go to it. I say
capitalize Bluff road into an asset.
Cash in on it. 1t is no gamble, but a
living reality that would give us name
and fame all over this part of the cOun-
