Young Peoples
Society Growing

One of the most interesting meetings
of the Palisade Young Peoples Society
was held last Sunday evening at the
church, young Mr.. Mcconnell, a teach
er in the primary classes of the public
school of Palisade being leader The
subject was all of the varying forms
of honesty, and it's relation to our daily
lives and ASSOCIATION with people.
Little slips of paper were passed
around to most of those present who
were expected to make reply to some
query about honesty or motive. Mr..
Mcconnell handled his subject with
consummate skill, and pleased every
one present by his intimate knowledge
of the theme. He is regarded as a
young man of very sincere purpose and
promise. The society meets next Sun
day (tomorrow) at the Grantwood Con-
gregation Church.

New Jerseys Child
Welfare Program

If New Jerseys child hygiene work
could have been organized and doing
its effective work for the past decade,
their figures of conservation for 1919
would have saved 1885 babies and
mothers. ..-,-
The state appropriation of $125,O00
for its child conservation work does
not seem to have been money ill spent
as few of the facts will show:
Of the babies who died under the
age of one year, the state average
was as high as 81 per 1000 live
births, of the babies supervised by the
Child Hygiene Bureau the rate was 81
out of 1000.
For the entire state, 81 babies died
under the age of one month out of
every 1000 live births, while of the in
fants supervised by the Child Hygiene
Bureau only 81 babies died
Mothers dying in childbirth for the
entire state the figures are one out of
$50. Of the mothers who received
prenatal care from the bureau, out of
476 cases there were no deaths.
The coming conference will be held
in Asbury Park, June 1914, and Sur
geon General Cummings is expected
to be present to give a nationwide
point-of-view to New jerseys efforts.

Mrs. J. G. Coulter, the treasurer, re-
ported some $3.50 left in the treasury.

HIPPoDRoME ENDS SEASON.

The New York Hippodrome closed
it's fifth season under Charles Dilling
ham Saturday night, May 10, when
"Happy Days." his fifth spectacle at
the big playhouse, was withdrawn in
order to make it possible for prepara-
tons to begin for next seasons pro-
duction, to be presented in August.
The final week of Happy Days" saw
more people in the Hippodrome than in
any other week of the season save hol-
iday weeks and indicated that, al
though the big production had played
through 452 performances and had
been seen by more than 2,352, 900 PEG,
pie, its appeal still was so great that il
could have been continued at least for
another month.

Zone LAW MAKES CRANTWOOD and
SIMILAR SIZED PLACES REJOICE
FOR IT UPHOLDS ALL RESTRICTIONS

The Citizens Club of Grantwood had
another of its lively and interesting
sessions last Monday night at Masonic
Hall. The attendance was the largest
OF the season SO far, about 80 men,
bers being present and two new men,
bers being taken in. Mayor Cadien
and members of the Borough Council
were present, and all hands took part
in the general discussion that went on
during the evening.
Mr.. Venables made report regard
ing the schools, promising to have the
figures ready for an early meeting.
This committee is under the Joint SUI
perviSion of the Citizens and Wo-
mans Clubs. Mr.. Velsey of the School
Board also promised to have his re-
port ready for next meeting, covering
the same thing, with figures on cost.
Mr.. Lehsten introduced a resolution
of thanks to Governor Edwards and to
Senator Mackaye, together with the
three Bergen assemblymen who made
it possible to pass the coming bill that
recently became law. It was pressed
loI passage ny Tie StIlZtllS 1lUD anu
is quite feather in their cap. The
bill is the greatest thing for munich
palities of the size of Cliffsde Park
and Fort Lee ever passed in the state
of New Jersey. 1t now is possible to
pass ordinances making it illegal in
certain zones to erect buildings that
do not conform to the requirements.
In other words, the cost and style of
buildings may now be restricted in any
manner directed by the municipality
If the law says that apartment houses
cannot be built within certain zones,
that settles it. 1t is the same with in
ferior grade of residences, as under the
present restrictions in force in Pail
SADIE. Grantwood is much elated over
the new law, as are all other small
sized sections that pride themselves
on the character and quality of their
homes.

Alan Mutt Post
Memorial Service

AT recent meeting of the Alan Mutt
Post of the American Legion, it was
decided that the post would COM
memorate Memorial Day each year by
religious services in one of the
churches of the borough.
AS the post has been named in men,
DRY of 1t. Alan Mutt who was killed
in France, it was deemed BETTING to
hold the services in the church of
which the dead hero was a member
Therefore the services of the Epis-
ccpal Church, Grantwood, on Memorial
Day, will be especially devoted to the
occasion of concentrating the
deaths of Americas heros of all wars.
All eX-service men of the borough,
not only members of the American Le--
giOn, but all eX-service men of the
world war and veterans of the civil
and the Spanish-American war, are re-
quested to attend the Memorial Day
services of the Episcopal Church,
Grantwood, Sunday, May 80, at II
O'clock
Rev. Marshall Montgomery, the
rector, will conduct the service, and
it is hoped that those who have serv-
ed America in her need will attend
to commemorate the deaths of their
comrades who have answered the final
roll call.

EXCITING Time IN AMUSEMENT PARK
when MRS. NOFFKA'S RESTAURANT
BURNS MONDAY NIGHT; LOSS SMALL

The restaurant belonging to Mrs
Katie Noffka of GrantwoOd, situated
on the east side of the Palisades
Amusement Park, caught fire in some
mysterious manner last Tuesday MORN
ing about u rs o'clock and was totally
consumed in a very few minutes. 1t
was frame building, about 100 by so
feet, and was several years old, very
dry, of course, and burned like so
much finder. The fire made a tremen-
dous blaze and soon had the entire
neighborhood out looking at it. The
Cliffside fire company rushed out in a
big hurry and did valiant service, but
did not have the ghost of a show at
saving anything connected with the
building. The big siren whistle of the
Cliffside fire house made enough noise
to awaken the dead, and those who did
not sit up and wonder what was up
were sound sleepers indeed. Fort Lee
~es well as Palisade had hose wagons
out. Fort Lee had a wagon drawn by
big motor truck, but had the misfor-
tune to hook up to blank hydrant, so
got no water on the blaze. They had
only embers, though, by the time they
arrived, to look at.
The loss was stated to be about
$4,000, not dollar of insurance. Some
nearby buildings were slightly DAM
aged, but the damage was negligible,
Grimes & Paulson having the roof of
their ice cream place scorched, while
the old mill was bit Drowned by the
fire, but not hurt. New Workers were
RECALLED by the big blaze, and the city
papers featured it as a spectacle for
the Riverside drive folk But for the
wind blowing towards the cliff the
whole park might have burned

MAYOR CADIEN TIES
KNOT IN WAR ROMANCE

Mayor John C. Cadien of Cliffside
Park ended long standing romance
between DIR. Walter w. Schmidt of
Cliffside and Miss Beatrice Winters at
9 o'clock Thursday night by uniting
the happy couple in marriage at his
home. DIR. Schmidt is one of the most
prominent physicians in the section
and served as surgeon in the war
in France. Miss Winters also served
as a nurse in France. They have
known each other for many years, and
this happy event is the elimination of
their fondest hopes. The witnesses to
the ceremony were Louis Schmidt,
brother of the bridegroom, and Mrs.
Laura Deeley, sister of the bride.
The happy couple will reside in their
own home in Cliffside in Commercial
avenue. Mayor Cadien and DIR.
Schmidt have been like brothers for
many years, and it had long been an
agreement that the mayor should per-
form the ceremony whenever DR..
Schmidt got married.

Cut Glass Vases
Missed, Then Found

The fine cut-glass vases, men,
toned in 1.-THE Palisadian" as given
by Mrs. Samuel. e.. Darby recently
to the PalisaCg Church, We're not a
gift to the church but to the Wom-
ans League # the Palisade Church.
Mr.. Charles tE. Logan was told that
the vases We're a gift from Mrs. Darby
to the church, and finding them on
the little pulpit, promptly used them
for the flowers he places in the
church each Sunday. When the vases
disappeared last week and after dill
gent inquiry Mr.. Logan reported the
matter to the borough police with in
structiOns to find them if it were pos
Sible. 1t did not take long to To-
cate the vases. The Woman's League
had taken them for safe keeping as
they were evidently not for general
use at the church.
incidentally another of the large
glass vases used at the church disap-
peared last Sunday night in some
mysterious manner. 1t was there in
the evening at the Young Peoples
Society, but on Monday evening was
not to be found. 1t was not a costly
vase like the fine cut-gass vases do
mated by Mrs. Darby and will not be
missed. No trace of its whereabouts
COULD be fond, however.

Mrs. NOffka Will
Rebuild at Once

Mrs. Katie Noffka, who had the ill
luck to have her restaurant building
destroyed in the park last Monday
night, announces that it will be rebuilt
Immediately. She hopes to have it in
operation by Decoration Day, all the
material having been ordered and a
contract for its erection having been
let. This is a fine example of enter
prise. incidentally, had the wind been
a bit higher and blowing the other
way, there is no telling what might
have happened to the rest of the park
buildings, and the loss might have been
heavy.
