Troubles are often bubbles which
can be blown away by just the word
of friend or the suggestion and as
sistance of someone who cares, says
the Telephone Review, N. Y.
The New York Telephone Company
doesn't feel that its duty is done when
it has taken care Of It's girls while
they are at work. 1t wants to help
them when they are away sick. So it
has organized corps of friendly WIS.,
itors-in other words bureau which
is under the supervision of Miss e. G..
Wade. former chief operator of long
service.
Think what this means: A girl is
absent for three days; she reports
GILL" On the fourth day the case Is
reported to the Visiting and DISABLE
ity Bureau. A visitor, one Of a force
which numbers about twenty, calls on
the absent employee Immediately and
inquiries about the girl or talks with
her. From this point the bureau ham
dies all Of the details Of each case

Climbing On High
Or Smith & Jones

Seven were standing in the Palisade
Junction drug store talking on any
available topic. Said Smith to Jones
81 see you have a new car What is
ii this time?"
"Oh,' replied Jones, "my wife want
ella Budson this time. 1t is beaut.
Climb anything on high"
t9The Fort Lee hill?"
Easiest thing you know Did II
last night and turned a Packard down
hard. A Cadillac pushed me bit, but
| was away ahead on the turn
Next night Smith met Jones at the
ferry, New York side, coming over.
Come on in," said Jones. I'll show
you how she goes up a hill"
Nothing better for Smith. First he
wanted the ride home Then he want
ed to see that Fort Lee hill climbed on
high. "Will she do it this EVENING"
Jones asked Smith.
'Surest thing you know replied
JOnes-always that surest thing you
know. They went along very well till
they got to the last turn, where the
road forks, and it becomes dangerous
except to the ultra skillful driver
Then Jones saw his engine faltering,
and, telling Smith to look at the bat
tleships in the Hudson, he quickly
shifted into second, and away she went
up and around the turn.
When they were well into Main
street Smith asked Jones, How did
you happen to shift up that hill you
said you could climb so easily?"
Me-" asked Jones' Il didn't shift
Who says so? You must be dreaming
Why, man she cut capers tonight like
a twO-year-old."
And Smith, being the guest, made no
reply. 1t happens every day.

Bergen Assn for
Tuberculosis

Since January 1, 1921, the Bergen
County tuberculosis Association has
had 205 persons pass through their
hands. Ninety-one have had pulmo-
nary tuberculosis, two persons had
throat, two glandular and four bone
tuberculosis.
1t is the policy of the Bergen County
tuberculosis Association to have every
member of family in which tubercu-
losis has developed examined for in
lection, particularly the children. 1t
is the infection in childhood which
produces the largest number of adult
tuberculosis. Therefore in order to
lessen the number of this group either
the tuberculous patient or the child
must be removed from the home.
The Bergen County tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION has referred for hospital and
sanatoria care 81 pulmonary tubercu-
loSis cases and four bone tuberculosis
cases, securing admissions for 80,
leaving long waiting list in their
homes.
If the people of Bergen county de-
sire it's future citizens to be healthy
and intelligent the work for the next
five years must be largely with and
for children. Two extra clinics have
been opened, one in Grantwood and
one in Oradell, which latter will be
transferred to Ridgewood as soon as
proper space can be provided. These
clinics will care for the districts sur
rounding them.

Fl. Lee Minister
In Funny Mixup

Rev. William WhitehOuse, pastor of
the Fort Lee Methodist church, got into
more kinds of trouble last Monday
while in New York than he would ever
have in his home town in ten years.
He happened to lean over crap
shooting crowd of boys in Bryant
park that night to see what the game
was like He found oet Then a po-
Iiceman pulled the game and the min
lister went with the officer to the
lookup, where they wouldn't listen to
him. He said to a reporter:
II was pounced upon from behind
and a burly detective seized me. My
straw hat was knocked off and [
wasn't permitted even to get it. An
other man who was likewise curious
was also gathered in and, like myself,
was also later discharged. None of
those participating in the game was
caught, strange as it may SEEM"
Rev. Whitehouse has been in Fort
Lee two years and is very popular.
His friends are all smiling with him
over his unfortunate miXup.

Two FORT LEE AUTO FIRE ENGINES
Give PAL|SADE AGREEABLE THOUGH
EXCITING SURPRISE IN FIRE DRILL

Last Tuesday night the borough of
Fort Lee and the village of Palisade
in particular had the most fun for the
least money that any other occasion
of like character has presented in
many years. In fact nothing like it
before ever did take place because it
couldn't. There was no equipment
for it.
The new and progressive borough
is now the proud possessor of two
magnificent auto fire engines worth
$4,000 each, and the head of the fire
department conceived the idea of a
general alarm, and it certainly did
wake the natives. Shortly after S
O'Clock on Tuesday evening all of the
alarms of the borough were sounded
by Encouragement and there were
some tall hustlings. People ran by
hundreds from every quarter and be-
fore anybody knew it the big auto fire
engines We're speeding along Main
street, Fort Lee, like mad StreakS, to
where both of them took a bee line
down south on Anderson avenue for
Palisade. Engine No. 1 continued on to
Bluff road and up that winding road
way to Palsade avenue, across the
tracks to the cliff 'front.' where it hook
ed up with a hydrant near the Holt
hansen home and in three shakes of
a sleeps tail had a stream that
threw itself on high into a feathery
wisp of water considerably over $50
feet high. 1t was beautiful specta-
Gle for the small boys, girls, men and
women from all over the village who
ran out to see what the trouble was.
The other engine in West Fort Lee
turned into Dorincourt as it left An
derson avenue and connected up with
a hydrant at 1ldgewood lane and in
about no time at all had another beau
tiful stream playing high in the air
into the trees east of the street. The
small boys and grown-ups were also
out in large numbers.
An indication of the speed with
which this fine fire drill was pulled off
may be imagined when it is stated
that as the West Fort Lee engine left
Jones' road it was followed by a Pal
sadian representative in an automo-
bile and although both went at live
ly clip, the water was playing in Edge
wood lane by the time the Palisade
reporter reached the spot. 1t was a
corking good job and proved conclu-
sively that with any sort of luck a
fire in any part of the borough of
Fort Lee would be almost impossible
The equipment is almost letter perfect
and could scarcely be better.
Nothing that has, occurred in years
has ever made the people of Palisade
and Fort Lee feel more properly proud
of the progress the big borough has
made than this fire drill on Tuesday
last

were interested in. Things were get
ting hot when Mr.. Marini called for
order. The mayor replied that it was
better to have it thrashed out at the
present time.
When the resolution was put to a
vote Councilmen McEvoy, Mcguire,
Marini and Amann voted Aye" while
Messrs. Post and Seigrist voted no"
1t was great victory for those coun-
cilmen who had been trying for long
time to give Grantwood an up to date
apparatus.
Bids for an engine were submitted
by three other companies.
Other business of the meeting was
as follows:
Communications from the Zoning
Committee stated that they recon-
mended the property of Beirne and
Bohm, on Day and Railroad avenues,
and that of H. Muck on Lawton and
Palisade avenues be changed
The engineer reported that a sketch
map of the Ritchie property ON Aurora
and Jassamine Way had been made
after Messrs. Sheehan, Agnew, Rich
ard and McClowe had gone over it.
a new ordinance with reference to
new street openings will have its first
reading at the next meeting
1t was reported that applications are
in to build $4,000 worth of new build
ings in the borough
The estimated cost of making proper
| connections with the Edgewater trunk
sewer line was reported as $500.

CRANTWOOD Gets new AUTO ENGINE
AFTER CLIFFSIDE COUNCIL TALKS
TALL OVER FOR A WHOLE EVENING

Grantwood is to have a ripping new
auto fire engine. Read on further
The Cliffside Park Council met on
Monday evening. The meeting opened
at s 80 with quorum, but the alb
sent ones arrived during the reading
of the minutes.
OF the business done the repairing
of Lawton avenue, the recently COM
pleted street, and the new fire en-
CINE for the Grantwood Fire Company
gave the most interest. The former
was first up. After a committee haG
investigated the job when finished by
the Bergen Contracting Company, they
found work that had not been COM
pleted The Board then gave the con-
tractor two weeks in which to do the
repairing. The work had not been
completed, but Mr.. Di Scascio of the
company put in appearance at the
meeting and requested that he be paid.
Councilman Seigrist gave a brief solil
oquy on why the money should be
withheld. Councilman Amann then
said it was true but he thought $500
was enough to Hold back on the $3.50
owed the contractor. Councilman Ma
guire, after questioning the engineer
on how much work was yet to be done,
made motion that 81 900 be held.
Councilman McEvoy seconded this mo-
ton. Mr.. Post proposed an amend
ment to the motion that one-half of
the sum owed the contractor be re-
tanned. On the polling, the amend
ment was lost, and the original mo-
ton passed by a vote of 4 to =.
The ball for the hot discussion
on a fire engine was started rolling
when, after half hours recess in
which the council members looked the
different quotations on prices over,
| Councilman AmanIi, chafriHsa ~ fAe
Fire and Water Committee, made a
motion that Hicks-Panet truck for
S6,S95 be ordered. This was seconded
by Mr.. McEvoy.
Councilman Seigrist stated that a
machine with pump was not wanted;
that after September l new pumps
would be adjusted to the water lines.
Mr.. Amann told of the experience of
but a few nights ago when if Cliffside
had not had a pump on its machine
the fire that destroyed one home
might have wiped out village. He
concluded by saying that it was better
to buy a fully equipped engine than
to save money and risk the lives of
the people, especially in West Grant
wood, where the water lines were 50
far away from the main line.
Councilman Mcguire stated his
views. He thought an engine without
pump was not needed but he had
changed his mind.
Councilman McEvoy stated that with
S675,000 worth of new buildings and
homes to be erected one engine with
ii pump would not be sufficient if
real fire started.
Mr.. Post took the floor and, stripped
for action with the words of the, chief
engineer of the Rating Company, said
that Il spumpleSS engine would answer
the purpose. In conclusion he said
one engine with a pump was enough
Councilman Marini asked if there was
a fire when the Cliffside engine was
being repaired if the firemen should
carry the pump to the fire. This Gre
ated a laugh.
Mr.. Post asked how many miles the
present machine had travelled Mr.
Marini retaliated by stating that it
was not the miles travelled but the
work accomplished that the people

Legion Meeting
And Local Notes

With enthusiastic delegations pres
ent from every corner of the county,
the annual convention of the American
Legion of Bergen county was held in
Hackensack on Tuesday evening in
the new home of the Captain Harry
B. Doremus Post.
Palisades delegates were Command
err Harry Elkan, being accompanied
by commander Frank Pitilli, Post
Finance Officer George H. Frew, Jr..
Adjutant Randolph e. Brown and
Bruno de Paoli. AS was the case last
year, Julius Zanette Post, although
one of the smallest in the county, was
well up with the leaders in the num-
Der of representatives present.
State Vice-Commander Sears of
Bloomfield came to Hackensack to tell
the Bergen County Legion members
something of the accomplishments of
the state organization and it's plans
for the immediate future Several
bills sponsored by the Legion and
pending before the state legislature
will, if passed, greatly benefit New
Jersey eX-service men.
John r. PittSdn of Ridgewood, the
retiring adjutant, was chosen to head
the county organization as commander
for the coming year, succeeding Mr..
West. No county office came to Pail
SADIE this year, but in the election of
John Il. Sharp of Leonia as adjutant,
| the members of the julius Zanette
Post supported a candidate who comes
from this section of the county and
who, as county inspector, took great
interest in their post.
Through an Organization Commit
tee, supervised by chairman and the
county inspector, the drive to organize
new posts and to cooperate with those
already established, will be continued.
The latest figures show that Bergen,
county heads the list for the percent

John H. Barklage, chairman of the
Entertainment Committee of the Jul
iuS Zanette Post, has announced that,
with the assistance of Miss Fannie
bradshaw, two one-act plays with a
short musical interlude will be pre-
sented this coming fall. One of the
productions will probably be, "Do Men
Gossip" by Orrin A. Briefly. whose
brother is now member of the post.
This was one of the most successful of
Mr.. Breby's one-act plays
Through the efforts of Commander
Elkan and Mr.. De Paoli, most of the
applications for the state bonus have
been filled out and filed. Lloyd o.
Magai has undertaken the chairman
ship of a committee on the organiza-
ton of women's auxiliary in con-
junction with the local post. One
meeting of the eligible women of Pail
SADIE was held last spring and second
meeting will be held in the early fall
for the purpose of perfecting the for
nation of this body.
The members of the Palisade post
are maintaining a steady interest in
the affairs of the Legion, and for this
reason and also because of the dor
mant condition of the posts in every
neighboring town, the officers believe
that fall will see the Julius Zanette
Post the most influential in this sec
ton of the county.
