Library-Do 1t Now

The Public Library of Palisade,
which is located in the Palisade School
House, cannot continue to operate un-
less it is supported by the citizens.
The library is at present in need of
funds to purchase new books, and if
everyone would help little the ques-
tion of finances would be settled Don't
wait for someone to approach you for
funds, make a voluntary subscription
today and encourage this community
asset. In last weeks Palisadian it was
stated by mistake that the drive for
money was to be a building fund. Such
is not the case, as money raised will
be used for the maintenance of the
present library and the purchase of
new books.
New books which have been added
to the library lately are: Arnim, En-
chanted April" Garfield, "Brimming
Cup;" Green, "Step on the Stair"
Johnson, ."Skippy Bedelfe;' Kyne.
"Cappy Kicks Retires;;" Milne, Red
House Mystery" Morley, where the
Blue Begins" Rinehart, Breaking
Point" Sabitina, "Scaramouche; 4"

son, "My Experiences at Scotland

1900, 900 Pounds of
Public Ser. Copper

Orders for 100000 pounds of cop
per were recently placed to meet the
operating requirements of Public Serv-
ice Electric Company and Public Serv-
ice Railway Company for the current
year.
Most of the material will be in the
form of wire and cables and about
three-fourths of it will be for the use
of the Electric Company, which has
an unusually large program of exten-
sions to keep pace with increasing
business. Were all the metal to be
delivered at one time it would require
a train of fifty freight cars each with
capacity of forty tons to transport it.

MASS MEETING STARTS !
BALL ROLLING FOR DRIVE
Joseph Whelan Made Head of
Campaign Workers for Engle-
wood Hospital Drive in
CIiffSide Park.

The mass meeting called by Mayor
Cadien in the interest of the Engle-
wood Hospital drive at the high school
on last Tuesday evening proved very
successful and about 65 citizens at
tended
Mayor Cadien opened the meeting
and Joseph Whalen was chosen to
head the movement in Cliffside Park
The drive will be in the form of a
house-to-house canvass, which will be
made by the workers included in the
plans for organization.
The borough will be divided into
five districts and there are to be two
captains in each district, one man and
one woman, who will each have under
them 10 workers, making over hun
dred in all for the entire borough.
About 40 citizens of this borough
attended the big mass meeting held in
Englewood last night to start the

Plan to Open High
way Along Tracks

Prominent citizens of the borough
of Cliffside are at work on a project
to open up a public highway along
what is known as trolley road. 1t is
proposed to run the highway along
both sides of the trolley tracks for a
distance of fourteen and half feet
in width on each side of the tracks,
and extending from the Palisade juno
ton to Gorge road. Cliffside, thus
opening up main traffic thoroughfare
through the principal business sec
ton of the town. 1t is believed the
plan will meet with the approval of
far-sighted property owners and 9TH
ers, who have the best business inter-
ests of the community at heart.
There is at present no central public
thoroughfare connecting the two ends
of the village. Well known business
men of Grantwood are confident of
seeing the highway consummated
within the near future. H. B. Joyce,
of Grantwood, is chairman of COM
mittee to work on the project.

6 Babies Christened
In Union Church
Sun. A. M.;; Fire, P. M.

At the morning service in the Union
Church of Palisade ON Easter Sunday
six babies were christened by Rev.
Mackenzie The names of the babies
are: Doris May Clark, Cora Jean Paul
son, Harry Elkan, Jr., Merrill Arthur
Nieman, Dorothy Jean Drake, and
Thomas Philips Hayes.
At the evening service wnen Rev.
Mackenzie was about halfway through
his sermon some of the congregation
smelled smoke and Mr.. John Sharp
rushed to the basement and discov
cred a board in back of the furnace
had caught fire. He dashed water on
the burning ember, which resulted in
a rush of smoke and steam through
the hot air radiator in the right-hand
aisle, and the listeners started to make
their exit, but took their seats again
upon assurance from several that
there was no danger.
Rev. Mackenzie had taken as the
theme of his address the second verse
of the third chapter of Exodus and was
speaking about the unGying fire when
the incident happened, which made
the situation rather humorous.

Special Meeting of
Ft. Lee Board Tues.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Board of Education of the Bor-
ough of Fort Lee held. in School No.
1, last Monday evening, little was
accomplished because of the failure
of four of the members to attend.
Those present were: Messrs. Kaufer,
Abbott. Whitaker, Cook and Mrs.
Schall, Mahoney and Biederbender.
A special meeting has been called for
next Tuesday night.
The first question considered was
the raising Of the salary of the super
vising principal from $4,000 to $4,000.
Three members objected because Of
the great difference between the pres
ent salary of the supervising princi-
pal and that of the high school prin-
cipal (s2,5OO) and the grade school
principals $4,000. The matter was
laid over for the special meeting in
the hope of a fuller attendance.
The question of installing a new
heating and ventilating system in the
Whitman street school was discussed,
and an estimate read called for $1S,-
600 for this work. Only one bid was
obtained, hence the matter was laid
over until the meeting next Tuesday
evening.
The balance of the evening was TAX
en- up by the discussion of unimpor-
tant matters.
All citizens are urged to attend the
meetings of the board. Start next
Tuesday night.

Bullet Proof Vests

Prior to the opening of the council
meeting on Wednesday night Mr..
Hyams of the Bullet Proof Vest Cor
poration of New York City, gave a
demonstration before the mayor, the
members of the board and the citi-
zens present.
Mr.. Spooner, Mr.. Hyams' assistant,
wore the vest and Officer Wall of the
Fort Lee police fired his own auto
matte, loaded with a As caliber bull
let at range Of about six inches,
and it failed to penetrate the vest
but lodged in same and was later
taken out in fattened condition and
passed about the room. Officer Wall
also fired three shots with .32 cali
ber and in each case the vest proved
sufficient protection to the wearer.
Later in the meeting upon recon-
mendation of the chief of police,
the council voted to purchase six
of the vests at $50 each. which will
equip practically every policeman who
is subjected to the danger of being
shot.

Hyams will give similar demonstra-
ton at the next meeting of the mayor
and council in Cliffside Park.

O'Clock. The Rev. Father Ferretti

wedding breakfast was held at
the home of the brides parents on
Anderson avenue Immediately after
the ceremony.
The bride was attired in a dress
of ivory white mirror velvet and wore
a veil of Irish point lace that has

W0MAN'S CLUB OF PALISADE ROASTED
BY ANONYMOUS WRITER Who ASKS
WHAT IT HAS DONE TO HELP VILLAGE
A Deserved Rebuke to Person Who Undertook to Be-
little Organization With Proud Record
April 8, 1928.

April 3, 1928.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
l would like your opinioni on the fol
lowing matter. The so-called Wom-
ans Club of. Palisade has to my
knowledge been organized for quite
a few years now.
The question l have in mind is, what
real good has the Womans Club done
for Palisade?
l have not heard or seen any ben
,efits which have been derived from
this club.
Has the organization any intention
of being boost to Palisade, or is it
organized just for the enjoyment the
women folks get out of visiting one
another's homes? ANONYMOUS.
The above letter, postmarked Fort
Lee, though anonymous, is printed
against all rules of correct Journalism.
Some people write anonymous letters
to the editor with the hope of venting
spite against an individual or institu-
paper has some decided views about
the anonymous letter that would not
look well in print. No person should
be ashamed to sign letter addressed
to the editor of a reputable publica-
ton. 1t is very reprehensible prac-
tice.
So far as the Womans Club of Pali-
o6a &c
has kept poorly posted. The club has
done great deal of good for Palsade
and is still doing it. 1t is readily the
most important social and business
organization the village has ever had,
and does more in the way of civic
work than any other. 1t looks well
after the public school interests, in
Guiding the library there, besides do
ing a great deal of fine charity work
in deserving places. 1t has contribu-
ted to the intellectual advancement
of Palisade, and through it's untiring
efforts secured for the public school
a fine, extensive collection of pictures
that not only .adorn the building but
are distinct channel through which
art culture is instilled into the pupil
mind. The collectionNis composed of
reproductions of many of the master
pieces of the world.
The Palisade Public School Library
has now nearly 1000 books, thanks to
the Woman's Club This is highly
substantial credit to it's record.
There are scores of other activities
of the Woman'S Club that are inter-
woven into the life of Palisade that
make it not only worthy, but an insti-
tuition the community could i'll do
without
People fond of writing letters of
criticism, similar to the above, should
look into the records before shooting
off their mouths-a rather inelegant
manner of putting it, but deserved,
just the same.-The Editor.

Fire In Donaldson =.
Home Last Week

Fire was discovered in the Donald
son home, in Edgewater Heights park
last week, on Thursday morning by
Dorothy Donaldson.
Prompt action on her part and the
speedy arrival of Grantwood and
Cliffside fire companies, extinguished
the fire before it had made extensive
headway on the roof and chimney, but
the outdoor bedroom furnishings,
about $50 worth, are a total loss, not
being covered by insurance.
1t is thought that sparks from the
chimney in conjunction with the high
winds, were the cause.
The house is considered unusually
fireproof in it's construction, and the
chimneys are lined throughout with
smooth tile. The Donaldsons had an
other fire last year.
