We'll, anyhow, last Sunday was the
wonder day of the year-er any Other
year, for that matter. The earlym morn
ing temperature was close to 40 de
grees, and, though there was a fog or
UP to 8 O'Clock, it quickly lifted, the
sun came out, and all the Joy of spring
freshness was apparent The rain OF
the night before had dampened the
roadways, but the sun quickly dried
things off, and behold the magic day
a May day in January! Temperature
at II q. IN. 81.
Local Basketball
The Palisade Union Church basket
ball team went to Fort Lee last Satur.
day and got smart beating at the
hands of similar sized team up there
Che game was played in the Whitman
street gym and resulted in u victory
of II to s for the upperenders. But at
that the home boys played clever ball.
Rev Mackenzie has been training them
for several weeks at the Palisade
school. where most inadequate facili-
ties for any kind of athletic work make
basketball practice rather difficult
task. The team, however. is improv-
ing and will soon he in better form.
They practice Thursday nights at the
school

Alfred Penneli and Charles Nienstaedt,

Another Weather Prophet
The morning of the big freeze last
week, when the caloric registered 2
above, the big conductor of one of the
Fort Lee line cars said: '"This will be
over in q few days. On Thursday we
will have big snowstorm, the heav-
lest of the winter"
"Are you forecaster?" he was ask
ed.
"Oh, yes" he replied. 81 have my
own system. / seldom make mis-
takes"
There being no snow on Thursday,
he was asked about it.
"Well," he answered, "you must adj
nit it looked threatening"
And that is what Is the matter with
most Of the weather prophets. They
all are just good guessers and most of
the time poor at that.
Everybody is hoping that the new
highway will not take up its course
do lot of harm-the most of anything
that could happen to Palisade.
Mirroring People
.-Orrin Breiby is getting along as well
as could be expected. He is making
gains, and that is essential He has
rugged up a mirror on the wall of his
airy room and has 1t tilted just right
for him to see as he rests in bed every
body who gets on Or Off the cars at
Bergen boulevard in West Palisade.
"You cannot imagine how much inter
est this affords me-" he said the other
day Poor chap, it must. He is com
pietely isolated now from the outside
world and any new wrinkle like this
is great help and advertisement. Or
vim used to play baseball like profess
sional. In one game in Palisade he
made five hits in a game. Here's hop
ing he may do it again.
Ecstatic Religion Not Necessary
Rev. Mackenzie preached an inter-
esting sermon last Sunday at the Pail
SADIE Church, the main thought being
that ii is not necessary to go through
period of ecstacy, or state of emo
tionai excitement, in order to live the
right sort Of Christian life. There was
reference in the life of Christ to this
point, and his own life diSproyed the
tendency some have of trying to prove
by outward demonstration that one
may be sincerely religious. The ser
mon in reality disposed of coatsleeve
religion and was one of the best eff
forts the young minister has made
since he came to Palisade. His sim
plicity and force were demonstrated.
