GREAT CROWDS AT FIREWORKS

One of the greatest crowds ever
gathered in eastern Bergen county was
on hand Thursday night to see the
postponed Palisade fireworks at the
Fairgrounds The high embankment
running east and west on the south end
of the field was just the proper point
of vantage, and it was lined with hun
dreds of grown people and children, as
was the elevation in the West Side.
Automobiles were parked on the south
and west sides of the field, while Pail
SADIE avenue must have contained 400
or 800 cars, it is estimated, parked on
both sides of the highway.
AS for the fireworks, all conceded
them the finest ever seen in New Jer-
sey or anywhere. Many people from
New York said they had never wit
messed SO gorgeous a display. Yurillo
distanced al his former efforts, and his
genius as a composer of fireworks de-
signs was established beyond peradven-
ture. He wears the crown of wizardry
in pyrotechnics. 1t was all so wonder
full that the automobile horns and hand
clapping were in evidence all through
the more than an hour and a quarter
of the really superb exhibition. Grant
wood had large quota out, and Sey-
mOur Sears, wo stood on the field with
the megaphone announcer, declared the
great display exceeded everybOdy's ex-
lpectationS and was a credit to PaliSade.
Scores of others from Fort Lee, Leonia
and other places said the same thing.
They could not believe the fireworks
We're manufactured not even quarter
of mile away in the Palisade woods.
OF the striking pieces shown, the
palm went to the 100fOOt Niagara
Falls, % feet high. The dazzling silver
poured over like wonderful water
fall of silver, and a moving picture man
made photo of the crowd while it was
on, as well as the cascade; also of the
burning flag and head of Washington.
An exquisite bit of illumination was
made by placing five large Victory
lights, Yurilo's own invention, in the
tall trees east of the field. The picture
of white brilliant light was a revelation
Of beauty and made a big hit. The
Seven Wheels, the girOndeles, and the
great multi-color bombs, 81 in all, and
each fired separately, We're other spe-
cial numbers shown. The flapper and
the icre cream cone was another good
exhibition. In fact, there wasn't one
Indifferent set piece, all winning loud
applause. As whole, the fireworks
were tremendous hit, and Yurillo was
declared without an equal

Musical Festival
May Be in Palisade

Ardenr music lovers of the Palisades
are planning a series of public month
~ musicales of d festival nature, be-
ginning about Sunday evening, July 20,
probably on the grounds and porch of
Palisade Union Church. A religious
pageant with appropriate music is
likelihood for the Fort Lee section,
where a large group Of the younger
members of the Episcopal Church of
the Good Shepherd have met with con-
siderable success recently in this field.
Sunday evening, August q, has been
chosen as tentative date for this
event. The more choral aspect of the
monthly festivals, it is hoped, will be
supplied by an open-air choir concert
on the grounds and by the choir of
Trinity Episcopal Church, Grantwood,
in late September A grand inter-
community harvest concert to be held
probably in the auditorium Of the Cliff
side Park High School at the end of
October is talked of for the culmina-
tion of the seasons meetings.

GrantWoods Tussle

The GrantwOOd A. c. marked their
debut in the Eastern Bergen County
League by defeating the Ridgefield
representatives "A on the Cliffside
High School Athletic Field Sunday.
This marked the ninth straight win
for the Grantwoods.
Manager Vieau had his full strength
the first six innings the Grantwoods
emerged with IA rally that gave them
the game in the seventh.
The battery of Joe Certify and
Henry Hecker worked well, while the
rest of the team gave their pitcher fine
support. Roman pitched a good game
for the losers.
On the Fouth Erwin Golmann
welded together formidable nine, in
Guiding many of the local old timers,
and the game was such an interesting
one that a number stayed right through
the nine innings despite the rain that
fell steadily throughout.
The final score was 7-3, and the
young fellows needed every one of the
runs they earned and several sensa-
tiOnal catches which they made be-
sides so that the victory could be
credited to them.
Among the elderly men who played
with Manager Golmann were Wallace
Macdonald, Sr, Duncan and Roscoe
McClave, c. f. Velsey, Bob Dawson,
Herbie Herschler Rob Cadien and Ed
Corriston also played with the All
Stars while their battery was made up
of Wallace Macdonald, Jr., and julius
Weissenborn.
After the game the young fellows
had to admit that the All-Stars certain
ly had made them step along at a live
ly pace to register the victory.

Holiday Fireworks
Sold at Junction

Fireworks We're sold in Palisade for
two days before the glorious Fourth
in almost car load lots. On account
of the prohibition against the sale of
any kinds of fireworks in New York
City, and, also, in Edgewater, Ben
and Max Klein conceived the happy
idea of indulging the youthful mind
by getting the little Palisade Junction
waiting room which had been used since
the fire last January 1, and turned 1t
into a place for the sale of light fire.

big signs on the New York side bear

They further advertised the venture by
letting it be known that all intending
purchasers would be hauled up the
hill by autos (and back) free of
charge. And this worked to such an
extent and charm that all day last

white youngsters and negroes in large

CHILDREN'S ICE CREAM
TO COME SATURDAY
To Be Given Out on Sibley Lawn at
8 p. m.-AlI Invited.

The failure of Horizons ice cream
people to deliver the order for the Pali-
sade children on Thursday night
caused almost riot among the young
sters who had expected their full quo
ia of ice cream at the Palisade Play
grounds. The order was given in am
pie time, but got balled up through in
competent service and failed to arrive.
There were almost screams from the
children when they were told that there
was no ice cream and Indignation arose
in 500 young hearts. Nobody could
blame them. However, the ice cream
will be delivered on Saturday evening
at Z o'clock and will be served to all
children who appear on Mrs. Sibley's
lawn about s o'clock. Older people
may also come along. There will be

YOUTH KILLED IN WILD NIGHT RIDE
over COUNTRY IN AUTO SAID TO HAVE
Been ST0LEN--LEFT IN CLIFFSIDE

A boy. Frank Morehead, lost his life
last Sunday night in an automobile,
which had been stolen from the garage
of Abraham Megibow. 234 Tenth street,
West New York. Morehead is alleged
to have been one of party who took
the ear, the others being Walter
('Happy") Kell of 205 Fifteenth street,
and Rene Bellachio, 40 Fifteenth
street, both of West New York George
Bontemps, of 80 Cottage place, Union
Hill, and Frank Giligan, who lives at
SO6 Fisher avenue, North Bergen.
These young men were all arrested
and held as witnesses They are tech
nically, charged with being witnesses
to atrocious assault.
The accident which caused the death
of Moorehead occurred near the Fren-
croft Inn, on Paramus road, Paramus
borough. Bontemps says he was driv-
ing the auto toward home when he
saw Ford machine approaching from
the south.
In order to avoid the Ford he steered
his own car too far over to the right.
The rear of the auto skidded on the
wet pavement, which threw it over in
to the branches of a small tree. The
limbs struck him in the face, he lost
control of the steering wheel and the
auto landed up against an electric light
| pole.
The car, however, was not totally
disabled by the accident and the ride
was continued to Cliffside when the
auto was abandoned and its occupants
sought other means of reaching home.

The fireworks by Yurillo, the pyro-

the first fair night, because it began
to rain around o'clock and kept it up
at intervals till after bedtime Yurillo
said he could have given the display
even in the rain, but the set pieces
stood a chance to be ruined.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9--The Anti-Sa-
loon League plans to seal the last crev-
ices of John Barleycorn's coffin before
this year is ended.
A program outlined by Wayne B
Wheeler, general counsel for the league
and generalissimo of the drys in the
United States, calls for a fight to enact
dry enforcement codes iii the few States
having none, strengthening weak codes
in other States and pushing some new
measures through Congress.
Particular attention will be paid Rhode
Island, Massachusetts. Maryland. Cali
fornia and Missouri, Wheeler said. In
der the eighteenth amendment, States are
given concurrent powers of enforcement
and have the same obligations to force
national prohibition that Congress has.
This will be brought home to the vari.
Gus State Legislatures meeting this year.
"Missour!s enforcement code will be
strengthened by adding to the powers
of the attorney general or some other
high Official he said.

you put it across a stool. Then you get
