LAID FOR
ST. PAUL s
SCHOOL
| Father Mackin Recalls Activi'
ties of Long Career Before
1000 Present.

Msgr. James Mackin. pastor OF
st. Paul's Church, recalled the &C
tiyities OF his eventful life yester'
day afternoon at the laying of the
cornerstone Of the st. Pauls paro.
cl1ial school on " street, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth. He con-
fided to the 1000 present that in.
asmuch as he has just passed his
eighty-fifth birthday he would not
be surprised IL yesterdays accom-.
plishment proved to be the final
one in his career.
The Most Rev. Pietro Fumasoni.
Biondi, apostolic delegate, presided
at the laying Of the cornerstone for
the 5000, 900 school, while the Rev,
M ]. Riordan, pastor Of st. Mar.
tins Church, delivered the sermon.
Patrick j. Haltigan,> president Of
the Archdiocesan Union Of the Holy
Name societies also made an ad'
dress.
Father Maclxin spoke Of three
graves he had bought for himself
Fifty years ago while he was living
in Maryland he said he bought a
grave near his church expecting tc
die within a few years. He lived
long enough, however, he said, to
be called to Washington and tc
have no use for the grave.
Upon coming to Washington he
bought another grave, but FRIEND
needed 1t several years ago and SO
he said, he sold It and purchased q
third burying ground recently
where he supposed he would really
find his last home.
Seated with the apostolic delegate
and Father Macl1in were Father
Buckley Of st. Matthew's Church
and Father Bowling, recently APP
pointed to the Church Of the Holy
Name. Representatives Of the
Catholic organizations in the parish
were also on the rostrum.

cises were made by committee
headed by Father Krug, assistant
to Father Mackin, and composed OF
leaders Of the parish societies.

Agnew Wins Case
In Pardon Court

Arthur M. Agnew won notable
case this week. In connection with
Joseph H. Gaudielle, he represented a
young man, Martin T. Ehlers, who
shot his wife April %, 1922, then shot
and killed his young son at the same
time. He then walked over to the
police station in Woodbridge and gave
himself up, saying he had a good
story" for them. He was duly tried
and convicted.
This week the Court of Pardons
committed the punishment to life i'm
prisonment. Mr.. Agnew had this to
say of the case:
81 am of course delighted with the
news. Both Attorney Gaudielle ant
myself thought that the verdict as an
nounced before was not a just one
owing to the mans mental condition
He was born at sea in the midst of {
raging storm and was subjected t.
the hardships of sickness as a child
He also suffered from epilepsy.
HE did not have one hundred pc
cent mind and it would have been un
fair for the state of New Jersey t.
take his life"

Judge Moore Fines
Trucks $1OO Each
For OverlOading

Traffic Magistrate James d. Moore
is still keeping up his intention of
breaking up the practice of outside
motor trucks coming into Bergen
county with loads which are a viola
tion of the motor vehicle law and
which are causing much damage to
the roads, says the Hackensack Rec
ord.
Last. evening the Judge, without
mincing matters, imposed fines OF
500 each on five of the violators, and
at the same time called their atten
ton to the fact that ample warning
had been given through the news
papers that the law would be adhered
to no matter who the offenders were
or where they came from.
Bergen county and State roads are
costing large sums of money for theiI
upkeep," said the judge, "and pro
pose to do my share toward letting
you people know that the law cannot
be made laughing stock by people
of your class, who do not seem tc
have any respect for it"

FAITH
An Easter Poem

BY CHARLES w. 3. LANE
Sand the angel answered and said
unto the women, Fear not ye: for
know that ye seek Jesus that was
crucified. He is not here, for He has
risen as He said."-Matt. xviii, Sc.
"For He has risen as He said"
So reads the holy word of God,
Yet there are those who choose to
doubt
And will not pass beneath the rod,
Saying, 81 believe" but stand aloof
And challenge Soldiers of the Cross
for proof.
How pathetic they who will not see.
And let the soul become the senses
slave,
Continuing through life without that
That promises such joy beyond the
grave.
What little happiness life can give
When just for material things we live!
Faith is the keystone of all that
stands,
Faith is the only hope for us all;
Faith will lead us to heaven at last,
With it we conquer, without it we
fall.
Those who scoff at the wonders OF
God
Find answer in flowers that bloom on
the sod.

CLIFFSIDE BOARD OF
EDUCATION Dimes
High School Girls Prepare and
Serve a Wonderful Meal
to Board.

The annual dinner of the Cliffside
Park Board of Education, given at the
high school last week Thursday even
ing was a success of peculiar charm
and interest. 1t revealed the board
in perfect accord and with a determin-
alton to keep that way through the
coming year. These dinners began in
1921 and have now reached a stage
where they appear to be one of the
most important functions of the year.
Supt. Hall was in the capacity of chair
man of the dinner proper, while Mr..
Velsey, chairman of the board, pre-
sided at the meeting which followed.
The veriest good feeling and fellow
ship prevailed at the dinner, which
was served under the able direction
of Miss Kingman, in charge of domes-
tic science in the high school. Miss
Kingman had as her assistants the
following high school girls, who did
the cooking of the dinner, and it was a
wonderful repast: 8A girls, Elmer An
derson, Anna Kermayer, Kaukowski,
Jennie Morris and Ruth Sears; SB
girls, Altomare, Helen Gallagher,
Guarinelle, Mary Larsen and Olga
Burke. 1t was about 7:30 when the
dinner began and it took about an hour
to finish the many courses, which con-
sisted of oyster cocktail, tomato soup,
platter of meat, stuffed potatOe and
cauliflower, fruit salad dessert, ice
cream between layers of sponge cake
spread with chocolate syrup, coffee
and camembert cheese and saltines.
After the dinner the young ladies were
called in and vote of thanks given
them for their excellent meal, this
last scene being one of the pleasantest
of the evening.
Then there were talks by Professor
Hall in pleasant vein Of the Cleveland
national educational convention which
he and Professor Burns had attended.
He gave some impressions of the con-
vention, as did Professor Burns in
special paper he had prepared, telling
of the best results of the great meet
ing which had been attended by the
best American minds of the teaching
world.
Later in the evening there was a
business meeting of the Board, when
C. A. Velsey was reappointed and re-
elected President unanimously. He
has given a good account of himself,
made many friends, kept the affairs of
the board in the best shape, made the
schools operate with greater efficiency
than ever, kept up cordial relation
ship with the school heads and closed
his term with the best of feeling pre-
vailing in all directions.
Herbert Everett, the newest member
of the board, made talk upon the
great necessity of better and more
direct form of publicity of the boards
doing. 1t was based on the experience
of the last school election, when the
boards aims were defeated because
the public had been educated up to
the real meaning of the things voted
on. Mr.. Everett thought that the
boards plans should be carefully
thought out, and plan settled upon to
give publicly to any intended action
of the board where an election was
required. He pointed out that the
facts of an action of this kind ought
to be assimilated by the public long

PLAN IN GRANTWOOD
Simple Explanation of What Con.
Solidati0n Means to
Borough.

There is a petition being circulated
in Grantwood opposing the consolida.
ton of the post offices under the new
plan due to misapprehension of the
real meaning Of the plan on the part
of many citizens.
One objection voiced is that Grant
wood would lose its identity and an
other that it would result in incon
venience for those wishing to take
advantage of post Office facilities.
The new plan does not mean that
mail which is to be delivered in
Grantwood must be addressed tc
Cliffside but can be addressed as
heretofore without interfering or de
laying the delivery of the same.
1t should be thoroughly understood
that contract stations will be estab
lished at different points where per
sons may purchase stamps, money
now afforded by the present pos
Office with the exception of getting
mail, which of course, will be de
livered to them.
In addition to city delivery and the
establishment of contract station!
regular collection boxes will bt
placed at convenient points and i
will not be necessary to go to th'
post Office to mail letters, papers
etc., as is now the case, nor will let
ters mailed in one section of the Dor
ough go to Hoboken and back before
delivery.
The entire plan is based on thu
idea of "the greatest good for the
greatest number"
