RAIN OF ROCKS ON HUDSON DRIVE
LAST SUNDAY FOIL OWING STORM
MADE ROAD LOOK LIKE EF|ELD

The Henry Hudson Drive was
closed last Sunday-that is, there
We're large signs up on the Dyckman
street ferry road saying Road Closed
but that did not deter any number
of automobilists from driving past the
signs evidently for the purpose of in
vestigating the why's and wherefores
as to the closing of the driveway.
'Why," one chap argued, "the road is
only just opened. This sign must mean
that the road to the ferry is closed"
But that was not the meaning of the
big signs. After the autoists got along
about two miles they saw what the
trouble was. The roadway was lit
orally covered with small and large
stones that had fallen from the EN-
bankments on the west or Palisades
side of the driveway, literally thou
sands of them, and though they We're
thickern hops, an automobile could
negotiate the road with no trouble, the
only worry being, Suppose some more
stones should come tumbling down.
There might have been some danger
of this, too, though this deponent GO
ing the whole five and a half miles
did not see so much as gravel fall.
The heavy storm of the night before
had come with a temperature of 60 de-
grees which softened the outer frozen
Of
and small stones alike gave up their
beds at the call of gravity and soft
earth and down they came-all in
the nighttime, luckily, SO that no one
was injured. To think of what might
have happened if this terrifying array
of all-siZes of rock had commenced
their tumbling down while autoists
were passing, what slaughter of the
innocents" there would have been
The roadway looked like it had been
at war and the broken shells filled it
from curb to curb. 1t was indeed an
odd sight, and gave one the cringes to
look at it. and one timid lady who
drove over it, after covering over half
of the distance, said, "Oh, let's go
she was four-fifths over the route Be
ing assured that it would be better to
go on, she added, Yes, but suppose
they begin falling again. Which
would have made her plight all the
worse because she would have had so
much further to go if the stones had
commenced to rain down again. All
once could do was to go, to just look
at the spread of stones from an ounce
to Il hundred pounds heft, then say,
by jove. What an odd sort of thing,
doncherknow And that was all
there was to it.
What the Road Commission will do
about the thing is not now known,
but there is a decided menace there
unless it is remedied

Victory Ball
For Mayor Cadien

The many friends of Mayor John
c. Cadien We're not bOisterous nor did
they do the riot act after they heard
the decision of Judge Parker last
week but all accepted it with the same
ernestness that they used in success
fully re-electing the present incumbent
to office. But they have something
in store for the little mayor of Cliff
side Park that will no doubt be as
successful as their efforts in re-elect-
ing him to the mayoralty in the hot
test contested race ever held for the
local mayorship.
They are to hold a victory ball in
the high school auditorium and gym
nasium on Saturday evening, January
Z. The many ardent admirers of the
mayor are to have the finest celebra-
ton ever held in the borough. The
best of entertainers will be on hand
and there will be a real orchestra to
play the dance music.

Lets All Get
Married" a Success

Certainly that play, Lets All Get
Married." presented by the Carpe
Diem Dramatic Club of Young people
of the congregational Church at the
Grantwood Theater on Friday eve
ming. was Il wonderful drawing card,
for the hall was crowded, all stand
ing room taken and fifty people were
turned away
In its acting it was also ii success
for the director, Mrs. \. C. Cause,
could we'll feel proud of the fine per-
formance of these young folks, many
of whom made their first appearance
on the dramatic stage.
The opening number, by Helen Lee,
ger and company, gave full scope to
the beauty of the principal performer,
Helen Leeger. and to Marie KrebS,
who lowered in the background, both
girls being attired in stunning sum-
mer style, and Harold Ansell and War
rem Moody as typical summer young
men who sang the chorus of the song
which Helen sang in excellent voice.
l ne blI1eT between l1lt dtlS ltdt uIt
was the see-Saw in which Marie Krehs
and Raymond Miller did the see-Saw
act, Marie singing very sweetly while
Raymond Miller accompanied with
whistling and the orchestra with Il
soft violin accompaniment, the whole,
with the beautiful costuming and the
colored lights thrown on the group,
producing a very artistic and striking
scene.
In the comedy itself, with its many
amusing situations, the characters
were taken by Albert Van Dusen, Julia
Wiegele Charlotte Hoelz, Ottilie
KOthe, Katherine BerlS, George Brad
don, Warren Moody, Harold Ansell
and Dudley Hartman, the butler who
was designated on the program by
a question mark being discovered to
be Helen Haage.
In a fine little speech, Mrs. Cause
explained the club and its membership,
which includes any young person in
the congregation.
A beautiful bouquet was presented
by the club to Mrs. Cause and one
to Mrs. Merrick, who assisted with the
music, in appreciation of their serv-
ices. At the close a dance was held
with music by Grants orchestra
from Englewood

Fl. Lee Borough's
$4,000 Note Protest

Notwithstanding the fact that there
is an auditor, a bookkeeper and IL tax
collector running the finances of the
unfortunate occurrence last week
when by some oversight note for
$4,000 was allowed to go to protest
in the Edgewater Trust Company. No
one seems to know whose fault this
was, but it happened just the same.
1t has caused quite a little bit of
criticism around the borough, for the
reason of its unusualness. OF course,
those responsible would naturally
have a good excuse. But whose fault
it was really no one seems to know.
