Speculation on
New Boro Council

A record-breaking audience is ex-
pected to fight its way into the meet
ing room of the Cliffside Park mayor
and council on New Years Day, when
the Messrs. Woodcock and Dietrich
are to take their oaths as councilmen.
There has been a large amount of
talk and speculation throughout the
borough as to what will take place
after Messrs. Post and McEvoy re-
sumo their positions of ordinary citi-
zenry.
H. L. Post, the retiring member of
the majority has always been the
leader of the force which swung the
deciding measures during the past
year. Many of the people are now
wondering if Mr.. Post will act the
paft-of.manaser Of the team from TIC
side lines. The retiring councilman
served three years, always working
for what he considered the peoples
benefit. He carried out his duties in
businesslike manner, and many of
his friends were sorry to see him re-

early stage of the game.
John j. McEvoy, the other retiring
councilman, steps out of local politics
after playing the role of leader for a
number of years. Mr.. McEvoy has al
ways been faithful servant of the
people of Cliffside Park and worked
hard while in the capacity of council
man to further the interests of the
taxpayers. Mr.. McEvoy has been
chief of police for several years. The
outgoing councilman has always been
popular and many of his friends were
anxious to have him run for re-elec-
tion last November, but Mr.. McEvoy
figured he had enough of politics and
wished to assume real homelike life.
According to information spread
about town during the past week, the
heads of many present borough of
ficials will fall when the new Republi-
can borough guillotine goes into ac-
tion on Monday.

$4,000 Loss in
Clifside Holdup

Another daring holdup took place
in Cliffside on Anderson avenue near
Edgewood lane about II o'clock the
evening of December 21. David Gold
stein, brother-in-law of Mr. Taterka
of Grantwood, was the victim and he
suffered a loss of about $4,000 in
jewelry.
Mr. Goldstein is jewelry salesman
and was on his way to his brother-in-
laws house when three men drove
up in an auto and stopped alongside
of him. Two men got out of the car
and one asked where Franklin ave-
nue. was and Immediately the second
man demanded that Mr.. Goldstein
throw up his hands and say nothing,
at the same time threatening him
with a gun. The whole affair was
accomplished with the usual rapidity,
and a second or two found Mr.. Gold
stein alone on the road unmolested
but rid of his precious load of jewels
while the three men sped on to a
place of safety.

PALISADES CHRISTMAS CANTATA
MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ALL BEFORE
PACKED AUDIENCE; ALL PLEASED

The annual Christmas childrens
entertainment by the Sunday School
of the Union Church of Palisade took
place last week Friday night before
an audience that tested the fullest
capacity of the little auditorium, and
then half a hundred not only failed
to get inside but had to stand on the
vestibule steps, and many remained
outside till the affair was over. In
due respect to the many fine triumphs
which have heretofore been scored

aged the Sunday School ANIMALS for
many years, it is merely stating what
all who attended this one know to be
true that it far exceeded all former ef-
forts. The cantata was by far the
most elaborate, the catchiest and
most interesting of any that have pre-
ceded it. 1t pictured the spirit of
Christmas in song and dialogue in so
feeling manner that nothing else
was to be desired, and the large audi
ence went home satisfied that Pali-
SADIE can furnish form of entertain
ment that in point of human heart
interest can always be counted on
for something superior The cantata
was a gem, and Miss Maxine Sibley,
who played the score at the piano
only added to the authors concep-
ton by putting into it a spirit and
feeling together with a form of ex-
preston all her own, that made it
simply captivating. The air of the
main song bears in the score a solo
part in bass that is as musical as it
is magical.

took the leading parts-it was of
such surprising excellence that no

If You Tried Not to
You'd Believe This

A young colored man who lives in
Park Ridge is of an inventive turn of
mind, but he has decided to abandon
inventing for the present at least
He had an experience few days ago
that he will not soon forget.
Boys pour condensed milk into their
bicycle tires to keep them from leak
ing, and on this basis the young man
set to work to make something to
keep his automobile tubes in good
order. He finally had mixture of
whitewash, which he felt sure would
cure any ordinary punctures. and
his car.
He started for a joy ride, accompa-
MED by his sable lady friend. Every
thing went lovely until they reached
Hackensack. Going down the princi-
pal street at rate that lowered per-
ilously near the speed limit, broken
beer bottle was encountered, with
the result that a two inch cash was
cut in the tire, and a puncture in the
inner tube let the fluid come out in a
swirling stream the size of ones fin
ger, making the revolving front
wheel look like Fourth of July pin
wheelin operation.
The car was brought to stand
still at the curb to investigate the
damage. Immediately in front stood
a new sedan car, and over the back
of it poured the stream of condensed
milk and whitewash. The driver of
the sedan took one look at the foun-
tain that was fast whitening his car
and then uttered such harsh words
that the colored man hastily took his
car to a point on a side street where
the liquid could do no further dam
age. He and his lady friend finally
reached home, coming in after dark,
very much streaked with sweetish
limy look.-Westwood Chronicle

DISPLEASED EITHER WAY.

Canadians have felt aggrieved because their
dollar has been at discount in the United
States for year more. Now Canadian
newspaper views with alarm the report that
many business houses in the United States are
accepting Canadian currency at its face value.
1t seems to regard tbs as evidence that Aner-
can business men are engaged in promoting a
deeply laid plot against interests of Canada
1t IS difficult to fathom the line of argu-
ment If declining to accept Canadian dollars
on a parity with our own were well-founded
cause of complaint, and it brought forth many
protests, it would seem that a return to former
conditions should be welcomed as evidence of
the restoration of normal relations. But it is
averred that it signifies. not that traders max
ing it are moved by kinder feelings toward US.
but that business has become dull with them and
they find it to their interest to cut prices in
order to make sales on this market They are
not showing respect to the Canadian dollar, but
they are resorting to a new shift to capture the
Canadian market"
From this it appears that Canadians were
dspleased when their money was discounted
and they not more pleased when that prac-
tice is abandoned. What would satisfy them
The real gst of the complaint seems to lie in
that it is feared that Canadians will buy Ameri-
can goods. But they are in no way compelled to
do SO. Unless the price is satisfactory. it is
presumed, they would not care to ny. No bar
gain can be made unless both buyer and seller
agree.
