Ernest Sibley
Gets Signal Honor

Friends of Ernest Sibley of Palisade
are congratulating him on his recent
appointment as consulting architect to

OF all the success that has come
to Mr.. Sibley as a school specialist,
this appointment is perhaps the most
gratifying--it having come without eff

presented and considered without his
knowledge
The Board of Education of the City
of Trenton is contemplating a compre-
hensive school building program in
volving millions, plans to be started at
once for two junior high school build
ings and school for cOored chill
dren. Mr.. Sibley will develop and
guide the entire project.
The state Federation of Boards Of
Education convened in Trenton on Fri
day last. Mr.. Sibley attended this con-
vention and at one of its sessions

AS an introduction Miss Ruth She
nier played several piano selections in
her usual charming manner; then the
play was given with the smoothness of
professionals from the time the cur
tain rose until its final drop; in fact,
three of the players were professionals,
and the young playwright herself also
took part in place of n New York play
er who was unable to be present in the
Saturday performance, and that gave
even added interest for her friends.
The gay little play, with its clever
plot, its swiftly changing comic situa.
tions and its Humorous speeches, kept
the audience in laughter and interest
through all the three acts of the
startling incidents of Halloween
night at girls boarding school and a
temple of dance. and the color effects
and the beautiful costuming were an
added attraction.
The evening may well be considered
a brilliant success, and the two beau
tiful bouquets of chrysanthemums pre-
sented to Miss Sammis were the ex-
preston from the Comedy Club.
Mrs. White as president of the Wo-
mans Club spoke briefly in explana-
ton of the aims and work of its vari-

Alumni Meets

The meeting of the Cliffside High
School Alumni Association last even
ing was very well attended In the
absence of President Joseph Marini,
Kenneth Greenleaf, the vice president,

P. M. Gen. Hays
Asks School Aid

Postmaster General Will Hays is
sued a special appeal to all school
children of the country this week, and
on Wednesday Miss Maud Brady read
it aloud to the Palisade school chill
dren. 1t asked all children to begin
ut once getting their Christmas pack
ages ready that We're to 90 by mail,
and to make no delay in so doing 1t
was a very patriotic appeal and one
calculated to get attention because of
its earnest nature. The appeal was
one of Mr.. Hays best, and charac-
teristic of the man in its simple
earnestness. 1t was designed, of
course, to help the over-worked postal
men and women all over the country
who are literally swamped just before
the holidays on account of the extra
ordinary quantity of mail going in
every direction. At any rate, Palisade,
thanks to Miss Brady, has promised
to help Postmaster General Hays in
every way possible.

BUY YOUR CHRISTMAS SEALS
IN BERGEN COUNTY

The Bergen County tuberculosis
Association is making a special APP
peal to the residents of the county to
buy their Christmas seal supply at
home, or at least the majority of it.
They have very good reason for
making their appeal
The revenue from the sale of these
seals is the only revenue the associa-
ton receives with the exception of a
small amount of money from other
sources. This revenue is that which
is used to wage the battle against the
most destructive foe man has to fight.
Buy your Christmas seals in Ber-
gen county and help your own.

In his weekly bulletin for De-
cember 4, Rev. HI. z. Guhse of the
Oxford Presbyterian Church., Phila-
delphia, formerly of the Union Church
of Palisade, has this to say.
Thought for the Week
To the Congregation:
My Dear Friends-Today marks the
first anniversary of my pastOrate in
Oxford Church. l sincerely trust that
to all of you there may have come as
much of JOY, deep satisfaction and
abiding blessings during the past year,
and as buoyant a hope for the imme-
date future as have truly crowned
my humble efforts.
While the year has been productive
of definite, outward results, such as ::
A reorganization of our whole work
on bigger and broader lines, under the
slogan "The Community Church." the
extensive repairs and improvements
on our property, the addition of an
ornamental and serviceable vestibule
and Illuminated sign-the largest and
hest before any Christian church in
all the world-the large increase in
attendance the gain of almost forty
new members, and the present effort
of securing $4,000 for our "OSford
Forward Movement reiterate that
while these visible results can be
enumerated, the richest rewards have
been those of the spirit. We have
felt God moving among us nightly,
and our spirits have held tryst here
with Him and with one another.

NO DOUBT OF CADIEN'S ELECTION NOW,
THROUGH A SIMILAR CASE IN LODI
LAST YEAR DECIDED BY JUS. PARKER

The long waited decision in the Cliff
owing to the absence of Justice Par
ker, who has been sitting in Trenton
for some weeks. 1t is now thought
that he may hear the case against
Mayor Cadien either this Saturday or
the following Tuesday. In the mean.
time, there is every reason for hop
ing and for believing, in fact, that
Justice Parker cannot, if he but fol-
low precedent he himself establish
ed at Lodi last year, decide the pres
ent case in Cliffside against Mayor
Cadien. At Lodi there was contest
ed election and "a recount and some
ballots in that election had two names
written in for the same man and they
were counted as one vote. Justice Par
ker is said to lean to the side of the
intent of the voter. He knows that no
man would undertake to vote for the
same man twice on one ballot. Attor-
ney Agnew of Cliffside borough was
and he Won his case before Justice
Parker, an exactly similar case to the
Mayor Cadien case in Cliffside/
Mayor Cadien, seen this week, said /:
"Yes, I know about the Lodi case,
but without that l am not worrying
bit. / think the people believe in
me, and they have e.idenced it in
many ways. / hope the coming adj
ministration may be the most salts
factory we have ever had in the bor-
Ough's history. And 1 shall support
the next man to follow me heartily"

Miss Bertha Grabosky, Palisades
Postmaster has been officially con-
firmed by the United States Senate,
November %. A regulation bond has
been sent to Miss Grabosky and her
commission will be duly forwarded as
soon as she executes the bond.
For some unaccountable reason
Congressman ~RandOlph Perkins GER
titled the appointment of another
party to the Postmaster at Palisade,
but it was withdrawn on personal APP
peals of Miss Grabosky's friends, be-
sides an almost 100 per cent petition
from Palisade residents. She is to be
congratulated on her victory, for she
is one of the most deserving and
loyal workers in the Post Office De-
partment.

THEATER BREAKS GROUND;
CONSTRUCTION TO Be IN 3 UNITS;
FINISHED MARCH, MAY & SEPT ~

The Palisade Theater Corporation
broke ground for it's $125,00O building
at Palisade Junction Wednesday.
There were no special ceremonies, but
the work SO long delayed is now ac-
tually started and, according to the
plans, will be fully completed in all
branches by next September-about
nine months off. This event marks an
important event for Palisades and the
Hilltop section. 1t will give one of the
finest amusement, business and com
munity centers in the county, if not
the very finest.
According to the present plans of
the promoters the construction of the
big building will be divided into three
units in order to reach its financial
demands. The first unit started this
week will be finished by March /, or
less than ninety days off. This will
consist of the two corner stores and
one half of the arcade to and including
the back wall of the theater
Unit No. 2 will consist of the n.
cdue, StoIeS, up stdHs ouiceS, anu
waiting room.- finished May u, 1922.
Unit No. 8, will take in the theater
complete, and will be ready by Sep
TENDER 1, or at latest, October 1, 1922.
The unit plan was adopted because
they are building in a falling market,
and each unit contract Is expected to
cost less, proportionately, than its
predecessor

Palisade Red Cross
Goes Over the Top

With its usual responsiveness to
every worthy cause, Pa1isade has gone
over the top in its annual Red Cross
Membership Roll Call.
Beginning on Armistice Day and
ending Thanksgiving, the members of
the Roll Call Committee devoted them
selves to making a house to house
canvass in their various territories,
frequently visiting the homes several
times in order to accomplish their pur-
pose, with the result that 302 men,
berships We're taken, exceeding the
Roll Call of 1920 by twenty-six menu
bers, and demonstrating that the peo-
pie of Palisade fully appreciate the
great work that the American Red
Cross is still carrying on throughout
the world
The local Roll Call Committee for
1927 were Mrs, Ernest Sibley, chair
man; Mrs. Roy Bulge, Mrs. George
Steffen, Mrs. John Sharp. Messrs.
Bruno De Paoli, James Crowley, Ralph
Hacker, Randolph brown, Lloyd
Magai, Conrad Breiby and A. L. Rueh-
mann.
Mr.. Ralph Hacker took over the re-
sponsibility of the craftsmanship on
account of Mrs. Sibley's Illness, and
promoted the Roll Call with charac-
teristic energy and activity.
The local post of the American Le-
gion contributed six members to the
Roll Call Committee, the interest and
cooperation of that organization con-
tributing greatly to the success of the
appeal in Palisade.

Pueblo chieftain., 1921-06-21
What Is Pueblo?

At such time this it is not surprising that some
men should lose courage and hope.
There men who have their life's savings
swept away in a wild hour of flood and disaster.
| There are men, and women too who have had loss
greater than that of any material possession for the
demon of the flood has robbed them of lives that
mmeasurably dearer to them than anything that they
could own
There others whose spirits in the long days of
unceasing effort and of vigilance have been strained
nearly to the swapping point and whose views of the
future coored by the toxins Of fatigue and
exhaustion.
! Under such circumstances word Of reproach
should be spoken for those to whom the future
promising and whose forward appears elouded with
the shadows of inevitable defeat.
None the less it is true that the fure of Pueblo does
rot lie in the hands of the pessms but rather in the
hands of those whose unconquerable spirit will
fess defeat to any demon of unfavorabe fortune.
The spirit that will not yield to disaster, however
sudden and terribe-the spirit that will succumb
Ito any fatigue however e1hausting prolonged-the
spirit that will make Of misfortune itself the material
out of which and triumph be maternlized
that is the spirit that by its presence will determine
the fate of this city.
Pueblo is something moro than 4 group of houses

represent accumulated profits and savings and wealth.
Pueblo is human need, need of production, need
of distribution. need arising from the association of
human beings in the manifold activities Of industry
