Cliffside Opens
With Fine Victory

The Cliffside High School football
team opened its season with victory
last Saturday afternoon. They de-
feated the heavy Eyanders High
team at the athletic field
Although outweighed by an average
of thirty pounds, Cliffside, with more
snap and pep, proved too much for
the New York boys.
Coach Longley's proteges played a
good brand of football. The visitors
found the plunging through the
Cliflside line easy. This should be
bolStered when the full strength of
line is on the field.
Captain Houk, at quarter back, ran
his team with brilliancy. Borrell and
lie Roy Heck in the backfeld We're in
the same fettle as last season.
ClffSide scored twice by means of
forward passes. One when Borrell
passed to Heck. and another when
Houk forwarded to Macdonald. The
other touchdown was scored by
Macdonald when he intercepted Il
forward pass and ran thirty-five
yards for Il touchdown

Bluff Road a Shame
And Should Be Fixed

The sadly dilapidated condition of
Bluff road is patent to ALL This re-
fers to that portion of it between Pail
SADIE avenue and Anderson avenue.
The rest of it is not much used. But
the stretch named is an abomination
in the sight of the Lord and man.
Said a Grantwood citizen this week
Il do not mind saying that Bluff road
is living disgrace to your borough.
What is the matter with them up
there? Don't you people have any
friends at court? I should think they
would be ashamed of themselves. 1t
is no credit to have a road like this. -
And this is about the way everybody
feels. The ones in charge know that
Bluff road will not be rebuilt into a
highway at least this season, so a
little filling of gravel and asphalt
would help nightly to take the jolts

Not for Teachers

Lyndhurst, Sept 29.-This commu-

awaiting the outcome of the contro-
versy that has arisen in the Board of

shall wear While they are in their

The teachers are indignant that
their mode of dress should have been
a subject for debate at recent meet.
ing of the board, and a number of
them have been heard to remark they
will give up their positions rather
than have their dress censored by
the members of the Board of Educa-
ton. The matter was discussed with
the teachers few days ago by Reeves
ID. Patten, superintendent of schools,
but he frankly admitted the teachers
did not take kindly to his suggestion
that they would look just as pretty
if they would lengthen their skirts
trif1e, and at the same time satisfy
their critics.

years younger than his colleague on
the board, and who is also married
said tonight:
Mr.. Fife, member of the board
suggested at the last meeting that we
investigate the wearing apparel of our
teachers. Mr.. Fife said he had seen
many teachers wearing very short
skirts, flesh colored stockings and
other loud clothing. He also said that
some of our teachers looked like bath
ing beauties.
at was decided, after much debate,
that we refer the whole matter to
Superintendent Patten. We figured
he could handle it."
He Likes EN- Short
President Kane said personally he
had no objection to the members wear
ing short skirts "They can wear
them as short as they like, so far
as l am concerned. 1t is my opinion it
is none of the Board of Education'S
bushes how short the teachers wear
their skirts
President Kane said he did not be-
lieve there are any better teachers
in the state than those who are en-
ployed in the Lyndhurst schools.
One of the lady teachers said Its
a cinch their vacations were not spent
at any of the bathing beaches, where
one-piece suits are all the rage. No
doubt, after rest in the tall tim
bers somewhere. they We're shocked
to return and find usswearing skirts an

Baby Found Dead
In Cliffside Woods

Bergen county has another mystery
for the prosecutors detectives and the
Cliffside police to solve in the finding
of a dead male child about two weeks
old, in the woods on the Dallytown
road, Cliffside, early last Tuesday eve
ming.
Angelic Capitolli and Tobias Finizio

woods Tuesday ON hunt for mush-
rooms. They had gone only short
distance when they saw a suspicious
looking bundle ahead of them on the
ground.
The men notified the Cliffside police
and Patrolman Naedler went to the
spot and removed the body to Nc
Nally's morgue at Fort Lee. The body
had been drapped in a New York city
daily paper bearing date of September
Is, then followed an old coat, a piece
of blanket and mosquito netting.
County Physician Ogden performed
an autopsy on the body Wednesday
morning and declared that the child
had been alive after birth, and had
evidently been in the woods about a
week.
County Detective Nathan Allyn and
Captain Borelli of the Cliffside police

ascertained through the marks on the
wrappings.
How the body was brought to the
spot where it was found can only 'be
