Fairy Snow Fall
Last Sunday

With the weather mamie of uncer-
taintieS and strange predictionS-say
ing last Sunday would be fair and that
Monday would be cloudy, it began
showing Sunday morning week about
10 a. IN. and kept up the lick all day
The fall was about three inches, soft
and wonderful. The trees, shrubbery
and low grasses caught up the fieecy
flakes, and they piled high on limb and
bough till a real fairyland became a
reality and children laughed and sung
its praises in innocent glee. And older
people, who could get out and look at
the silver forests all around, thought
about the same of it as the children.
1t vas a veritable beauty bower And
that far-famed roadway, the Henry
Hudson Driveway, no one can tell of
it's wondrous fascination In the late
afternoon number of automobiles
ventured to drive over its five and a
half miles and found it transformed
into the Land of Enchantment. Parties
of venturesome youths and maidens
had also invaded it, and artists We're
among them to get a touch of the Won
derS that We're everywhere unfolded.

A most enjoyable and profitable
meeting was that of the Literature De
partment on Thursday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. Il. Boas, which was
mingling of the six hundredth ami
versary of Dante and a Christmas pro-
gram arranged by the chairman, Mrs.

After the usual luncheon and bust

Sing" played on the monograph, fol-
lowed in same manner by Scripture
reading (from the best literature in
the world) and by Christmas poem
by j. G. Holland then a hymn, "The
Birthday of the King" still on the
monograph. Selections We're read
from Dante's sonnets, chosen by Mrs.
Everett, and selections from Dante's
paradise" also.
Mr.. S. Gozzo was the guest and
speaker of the afternoon and gave a
very illuminating talk on Dante and
his works, their significance to the
Italians, etc, and he also read in the
Italian several of the sonnets showing
the liquid beauty and also the won
derful brevity of the writer in ex-
pressing his thought.

Splendidly attended and effectively
presented was the Japanese Operetta
80 Mana San," given by the ST. Johns
Players of Cliffside at the local High

The cast was a very large one and

was the leading lady, and sang in her
usual delightful manner, and her COM

surprised her friends with her song
and her dance, backed by eight chorus

Fl. Lee High School
Must Be Supported

Fort Lee High School has given a
good account of itself during the five
years of its existence 1t was founded
in 1916. In the second year of it's life
it had to bear with losses caused by
the war. The morale of the school had
to be maintained during the war Pc
Rod even though the promise of Il
building and adequate equipment was
showed farther and farther into the flu
ture. The students accepted condi-
tl9ns uncomplainingly. When the
sdA6ol was three years Old its basket
ball teams We're competing with neigh
boring High Schools of two and three
times its size. The teams came to
Fort Lee for return games, and the
students offered them the hospitality
of unventilated and unheated attic
dressing rooms. 1t has at times been
bit CALLING to the Fort Lee boys and
girls to bear the taunts of the stu
dents of outside schools, especially
when some of these same students
lived in Fort Lee and attended the Wis
iting school. Fort Lee High School,
place in the High School League I'M
til it has an athletic field and a GYM
nasium equal to those of its rivals.
In scholarship it can be said with
out Boosting that the average is as
high as in the surrounding schools.
Some students have begun their course
in this High School and after a year
or two have gone to other schools
(where equipment was more attrac-
tive) to graduate. These students,
without exception, have more than
held their own in other schools and
many have had praise for their courses
in Fort Lee High School.
Then again, during these five years,
the school has graduated two classes
altogether tWenty-Seven students. Of
this number ten have gone to college
or Normal school, and several others
are planning to go. All of these are
doing well, and the boys at Stevens
and New York University have told
me they were as well prepared, if not
better, than many of their classmates.
Twelve of the other graduates hold
very good positions.
During its short life the school has
enrolled 222 different students. 1t has
offered a special two-year commercial
course, and at least twenty-five people
who have taken it are now holding
good stenographic positions
So with little encouragement from
the borough as a whole and with much
disparagement from individuals, the
school has managed to make itself felt
in the community and has managed to
do some good work

Pail. Boy Held Up
By Shabby Man

While on his way to the Union
Church with some flowers from Louis
Hobel, Saturday night, Chas. Nein-
staedt, well-liked, alert Palisade boy,
was attacked on Palisade avenue, 60
ing north, by shabbily dressed man.
Charles, knowing good deal of wrest-
ling tricks, without hesitation freed
himself from the mans grip and, with
the full force of his body swung at
the man hitting him just below the
chin. The man staggered and Cbas
took advantage of the fact and went
on his way to deliver the flowers. The
flowers were a gift to the Bazaar from
Mr.. Logan.
Note-Sorry, Charlie. But the flow
ers were presented by Mr.. Hobel, the
Fort Lee florist.

MAYOR CAD|EN DECL AIRED ELECTED
BY DECISION OF JUSTICE PARKER
WHO LOOKED AT intent OF VOTER

Cliffside Park had elected John G.
Cadien for another term when the
ballots were all counted on Election
Day. But, alas, one of the opposing
parties had discovered technicality
of the law had been overstepped.
First, recount and the number of
votes where an Y had been placed
before the present mayor in two dit.
ferent columns were counted and pro-
tested by Mr.. Walscheid, the lawyer
retained by the Frederick L. Smith
campaign forces Mr. Kenney, the
third candidate in the field, was in
jured, too. His name had been left
off 179 ballots of the second 500 votes
to be used in the Fourth District.
After the recount by the County
Board the case was scheduled to go
before Judge Parker. Mayor Cadien
was represented by William Morrison,
Jr., of Ridgefield Park, Mr.. Smith by
Mr.. Walscheid, and Edward A. Kenney
by Mr.. Buffet.
One will bear in mind that in last
weeks issue of the Palisadian it was
stated that Judge Parker had already
made judgment on similar case
before and in favor of candidate who
was in the same position as the pres
ent incumbent of Cliffside Park. One
at a time, Judge Parker had the law
yers state the cases of their clients.
Mr.. Buffet tried to show that Mr..
Kenney lost unfairly because his
printed name was missing from 179
ballots. In answer to these objections.
Mr.. Morrison stated that the local
Election Board had complied strictly
to what Mr. Walscheid had said they
did not do. That was to use an emer-
gency ballot. AS the ballot was found
TO be lacking the name of Mr.. Kenny,
they received instructions from the
County Board and followed these Or
ders out to the letter.
The judge cast the technicalities of
the law TO the winds and dwelt in
telligently on the motive and will of
the voter. In rendering his decision,
Judge Parker stated that every voter
could not or did not adhere to every
letter of the state laws and in order
not to disf:anchise the voter who had
good intentions, slips really had to
be made on the technicalities of the
law.
And thus Mayor Cadien has been
adjudged by both the people and the
courts a man worthy of taking the
reins of Cliffside Park into his hands
for another term.-E. C.
