Legion Mask
Ball, Feb. 18th

Anybody you talk to nowadays has
the same thing to tell or ask you. The
main topic of conversation in Grant
wood and its environs is the mask
and civic ball to be given by Alan Mutt
Post of the American Legion at
Epiphany Hall, Grantwood, on Friday
evening, February II.
The features of the dance are the
awarding of a gold apple to the most
beautiful girl in attendance, the
awarding of $50 to the luckiest one
present and also number of other
fine prizes. BY the manner in which
the tickets are so quickly being dis
posed of it is sure thing that the at
tendance will be even larger than the
initial affair of thiSNpost last winter
Nick Mahoney, the\genius of Grant
wood merriment makers is chairman
of the dance committee. This in it
self marks the affair above the ordi-
nary.

High Reserves
Divvy With Eng DIS

On Thursday afternoon the boys
and girls reserve teams of Cliffside
Park High School journeyed to En-
glewood, where they played the re-
spective reserve teams of that city.
Although the Cliffside girls won, the
boys came back, but without the ba-
con. The score of the girls game was
Is to IA; the boys score was 26 to g.
The girls game was very fast and
exciting throughout. The game was
in doubt until the last few minutes of
play, when the Clffside forwards
scored several points in quick success
sion. Miss Marini and Miss Lelong
proved to be more than stationary
statues for the Englewood misses to
watch.
Although the boys We're at the short
end of the score throughout the entire
game, they played as good sports and
exhibited the good old Cliffside spirit
of trying all the time AS several of
the regular reserve team players were
missing from the lineup, the local
boys are sure they can defeat the En-
glewOodianS when the return game is
played at Cliffside in a short time
from now.

Teachers Protest
Smith owner Bill

After a warm discussion lasting over
an hour the Cliffside Park Teachers
Association in meeting assembled of
fered in resolution it's objection to
the provisions of the proposed Smith
Towner bill now being bitterly dis
cussed in Congress. 1t was felt by
the teachers present that the aim of
the bill, namely, Equalization of ed
ucation facilities by all States" was
sane one, bue when the opponents
of the measure made clear the OBJ
jectionable features of it, a motion
to oppose it's endorsement was over
whelmingly carried. The arguments
advanced against it were: /, 1t is I'M
constitutional; =, un-American 3, i'm
poses an added drain upon purse of
people in densely populated states

filiated with political party; ), lower

Both C.. p. H. S.
Teams Win

Dame Fortune smiled on both the To-
cal high school varsities ON last Satur-
day when they met and defeated Pat
erson High School at basketball.
Although representing a high school
that has an enrolment of $500 stu
dents, the Paterson boys and girls were
surprised to be defeated by two teams
of small high school. But it was the
same for Paterson as other larger high
schools that have met the Cliffside
teams as athletic contestants.
The Cliffside girls walked away
from the Paterson misses, virtually
swapping them by the large score of
40 to 3.
The boys game was a very fast one,
although the score was very close. At
the end of the first half the Cliffside
boys, as in previous games, snapped
out of slumber in the second half
and played the visiting boys off their
feet. The Paterson scored only one
basket from the floor in the second
half. AS the score of % to II indi-
Gates, the game was replete with
thrills. At times the cheering could
only be compared with thunder The
guarding and passing of both teams
was very fine.

West Palisade
Has New Station

West Palisade at last has built it
self fine shelter against bad weather.
One of the progressive citizens of that
edge of Palisade, Mr.. Nudge, got his
busy bee working some time ago, pass
ed the hat, got $500 together from
his neighbOrs, and then secured the
permission of the Public Service TO
erect the structure at Bergen bOule-
ward on the trolley line. To be sure
the weather house is not as big as the
Pennsylvania passenger station, but it
nevertheless does just as much good to
IL portion of the American republic
that needed protection against the
elements, and there you are. Mr..
Nudge put the thing into effect when
it was most needed, for last week Fri
day it came in the handiest possible in
the heavy gale that blew all day with
that tremendous rain. 1t is also mat
ter of record that f. f. Caffall spent
Il great deal of his best energies di-
rected toward that structure these
many years agone to this same end,
and if it did not sooner get on the
map it was not because he did not
put forth intelligent appeal. The new
little waiting station is made of cement
with a shingled roof, and makes an
artistic addition to the architecture of
the pretty suburb to Palisade.

An Early Start
For Mosquitoes

few days ago, while an engineer
ing party from the Bergen County
Mosquito determination Commission
was running survey in Oradell to
determine the best line of drainage for
certain bad swamps in that borough,
one of the party noticed in a shallow
well what We're apparently mosquito
wrigglers. He knew they couldn't be
because it was the middle of January
and mosquitoes do not breed in this
climate in January. But on investi-
eating further he found that they sure
ly were wrigglers, a little apathetic
and without much interest in life, but
nevertheless real live mosquito wrig-
glers. Several specimens were brought
TO the office in Hackensack, where SUI
perintendent Leslie is carefully hatch
ing them out. Mr.. Leslie states that
in all his experience in mosquito con-
troll work he has never before found
actual breeding on the upland in mid
winter But he also adds that it does
not necessarily mean that mosquitoes
will therefore be unusually prevalent
next summer.-Bergen News.

Valentine FRANKIE
For School Board

Although there has not been any DOS
tive expression of an intention to seek
reelection on the part of Messrs
Smith and Whelan, whose terms as
school trustees in Cliffside Park eX-
pire this year, it is believed by those
closest to them that they will retire at
the end of this term.
Consequently there is a great deal
Of interest in the caliber of men who
will succeed them, for on this election
will depend to a large extent the poll
cy of the school system for the next
few years.
Mr.. William KOrsinck, the third
member whose term expires this year,
has already declared his candidacy and
will seek reelection.
Among those who will seek the sup
port of the voters of Cliffside Park
is Mr.. Valentine FRANKIE. This young
man is well known to the people of
the borough, for it was here that he
grew up and it is here that his inter-
ests are centered.
Mr.. FRANKIE is graduate of the To-
cal schools and an ex-student of Rut-
gers College. In the latter institution
he distinguished himself by carrying
his local successes to the State Uni
versity, where he rapidly gained the
confidence and respect of his fellow
students, the coaches and members of
the faculty and undoubtedly gave
promise of a most illustrious future.
Mr.. FRANKIE has devoted considerable
of his time to stock and bond enter
lprises, having been a salesman and
district manager for one of the largest
firms in the east
AS a candidate for school trustee
Mr. FRANKIE possesses rare capacity
and aptitude. He is young, energetic
and intensely enthusiastic in the sue
cess of the schools. His pleasing per-
sonality and tact acquired and devel-
oped in his numerous dealings with
business men will do much to straight
en- out the knots and snarls which
have been far too conspicuous of late
for genuine success in so important a
field as education
Mr.. FRANKIE, if elected, will not have
to grope and founder until he ia
milarizes himself with school board
procedure, for he has expressed def
mite ideas of efficiency and administra-
ton and believes that the Board of
Education should be deliberative
body of nine trustees who work to-
gether for the best interests of all.

PaliSadians went over to witness the

Dr. and Mrs Nelson, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Nils Paulson. In speaking of the
event, Mr.. Phillips this week said:
Il have never witnessed anything
more interesting. The talks from the
various ministers who spoke at the in
stallation, were in simple, plain and

ment for the young minister who was
about to be indicted into one of the
most important charges in the Phila-

kind illusions We're made to Mr..
he had as much promise and ability
as any one who had been installed
in that city for long time, and the
prediction was made that he would
have a long and useful career. His
energy and system, together with his
great talent as a sermonizer had been
already put to the test in his new po-
sition, and every one was sure he
would measure up to the best stand

mony were most impressive The
Palisade delegation enjoyed the trip
and what they saw and heard i'm

well-appointed home few blocks

ed of the former Palisade minister,
and oxford has the greatest confidence
in and appreciation of him.

State Engineer
Kills Himself

The irony of fate was never more
truly exemplified than in the suicide
in Newark last week of Charles James
Thompson of Edgewater. He was mar
ried and lived in Edgewater with his
wife and a fOur-weeks-old baby He
had been out of work for several
weeks, but evidently was not out of
money, since $764 was found in his
trousers pocket. He had gone to New
ark to find work and had engaged a
room in private house, where he
turned on the gas lay down on the
bed and was found dead several hours
later Thompson had been in the army
during the war. Upon his return he
obtained position as an engineer and
did work on the new Route No 10
highway running to Edgewater. Mrs.
Thompson could not offer reason for
her husbands rash deed, as his home
life was always most happy, she said.
1t was very pitiable case.

@)UTE 10 REACHES TOP PALISADES
WITH BIG STEAM SHOVEL DIGGING
LIKE GIANT AS WEATHER PERMITS

That great enterprise in road build
ing, Route No 10, last week reached
Palisade with startling suddenness,
poking it's nose over the top of the
Palisades when least expected. The
mild weather had given the contrac-
tors ain opportunity to make a squirt,
and they came up over the cliffs when
no one was looking for them. Morning
walkers to the Edgewater ferry found
their way blocked, or at least swerved
to the right, and on the soft mornings
it made the walking rather mirey.
Anyhow, this last touch of the big
highway became at least more inter-
esting to, the small boy, and he and
his companions soon found the way
out where the steam shovel was goug-
ing up huge loads of earth and stone,
then chug-chugging into, around and
up through the air and dropping the
bottom out, allowing the contents to
dump the load into a tram car await
ing it on the little narrow gauge car
standing near. Older folks, too, went
out Saturday afternoon and looked on,
the sight being interesting, for it has
been long since anything like this ever
happened in Palisade-that is, nothing
since the time when the big sewer was
dug, and at that time there weren't
so many people around.
The new highway gets to the top all
right by a long, gradual incline that
seems about easy enough to allow a
bicycle to make the climb readily
enough, and also to let all the wonder
autos rush headlong up the Palisades
con high They can all do it, of
ceairse. The road takes a vide curve
after it hits the upper air, swerving
around past the E. Yancey Cohen
house, off of which lot it takes swipe
not much-but just enough to let the
occupants know it is very near. Chen
it goes on in a long curve, touching
the e. Y. Cohen lot with a few feet
bite off the corner, and around in a
letter "S' into the Hodgins corner for
another small bite, and west in Bluff
road to Palisade avenue.
