Progressive Assn.
Formed in Cliffside

A neighborhood meeting was held
at the home of Mr.. John B. Weibel,
421 Palisade avenue, Cliffside Park, on
Thursday evening, June 20, at eight
o'clock.
AS the majority of property holders
on Palisade avenue between Edge
water road and Park avenue were un-
der the impression that they had
bought their homes in a restricted
residential section, and finding they
were located in business zone with
the possibility of having stores or
tenement houses built in the vacant
lots directly opposite them, the meet
ing was called to discuss changing the
zoning laws of Cliffside Park that di-
rectly affects the immediate neighbor-
hood from a business section to re-
stricted one family residential section
or a public park and playground.
The name of the association to be
"The~ Cliffside Progressive Associa-
ton" whose object would be civic bet
terment and the prevention of unde-
sirable stores and tenement houses
being built throughout the borough.
A petition was signed by the men,
bers of the association to be presented
to the council at the council meeting
to be held Monday evening, July the
ninth.

come in. Some about the large num-
ber of busses parked along the avenue,
some about the noise, some about the
lateness of the hour at which they
created a disturbance, and some just
about busses generally.
The Mayor and Council held spe-
cial meeting on Saturday night for the
purpose of taking care of the interest
coming due on the bond issue, but the
bus subject came up. Upon the mo-
tion of Mr. Siegrist the Councilmen
voted to keep the busses from running
until they complied with the stipula-
tions of the ordinance and it was car
ried. Mr.. Dietrich voted against the
motion. So, the busses were stopped
for about Sc hours.
Another special meeting was held
Monday night to consider 43 applica.
tions for busses to run. All were
granted, so they started again on
Tuesday, but were and are now re-
strained from parking north of Lafay-
ette avenue and not more than three
busses are to be parked at time.

N. Y. Boys Get Fire
works at Junction

Boys whose ages seem to run from
nine to sixteen years, some of whom
were accompanied by older people in
vaded Palisade this week to buy fire.
works of all kinds and assortments
which are to be purchased at a stand
at Palisade Junction. Most of the
youngsters were New Workers, who
crossed the ferry, where they boarded
a bus bearing banners of Fireworks"
and got free ride up the Palisades to
buy their saiutes, blank cartridges and
other noise-makers.
The lads who cross the ferry in
droves, crash their way into the bus
for the ride up the hill so they can
purchase the crackers" There are
the boys who seem to come from the
sides of careful parents as we'll as
those of the dirty-faced urchin type
crushed into the bus so they can get
to the stand and buy their celebrating
ammunition for the Fourth. While
a great many make sure to obtain
the auto ride from the ferry up the
hill, there are many impatient boys
who climb the many paths up the
side of the cliff rather than await
the next trip of the bus.
Three busy clerks are behind the
counter in the shed which, until last
week, was used as a waiting room Of
the Public Service trolley company.
And young boys who come from many
North Hudson towns and nearby bor-
oughs of Bergen county are almost as
prominent in numbers as the young
sters who cross the river to the for
hidden fireworks.
The New York youngsters have
quite a time of it smuggling the con-
traband wares back to Father
Knickerbocker' land. They must
first pass members of the Edgewater
police force who have received orders
from their superiors to confiscate all
the fireworks they find in possession
of boys.
There are policemen on the New
York side awaiting the return of the
young lads and they have to escape
unnoticed or the salutes, ETC., will be
taken from them there But the
youngsters proved equal to their task
somehow and have evolved many
schemes whereby they successfully
get their packages home safely to
celebrate with on the glorious Fourth.

Taken; Police Working
on Case.

Charles Kollar, a Cliffside butcher
was held up by four unmasked armed
men as he was leaving his garage in
back Of his house on Cliff street, after
taking his truck out to go to market
at $50 o'clock Friday morning, June
29. The hOld-up men relieved him of
S512 in checks and SS5 in cash. After
taking the cash and checks the ban
dts tied Kohler's hands and feet and
pushed him into corner of the ga
rage, threatening him if he should
sound an alarm.
Kollar struggled around for almost
half an hour, and succeeded in freeing
himself. He hastily made for the tele-
phone to call the police, but, being ex-
cited, he hung up the receiver when
unable to get operator.
Mrs. Kollar, seeing the truck in the
yard, and not sign of her husband,
became aware that something had
happened to him She hurried to the

Thrilling Story
Of Real Event

Morgan J. OBrien Of 116 Thirty-sec-
ond street, Woodcliffe, N. j., was ap-
preaching the Palisade avenue rail
road crossing in Englewood Monday
in a sedan motor car, accompanied by
his wife. The family is not related to
the former New York jurist. The gates
were down and Mr. OBrien stopped
as southbound train passed. Then,
as the barriers across the track were
raised, Mr.. O'Brien started his auto
mobile forward. There was no signal
or warning of danger.
Mr.. OBrien's sedan, which was
headed east toward the city, was fairly
on the tracks when there was a roar
and shrill whistle, blown in one long
continuous blast He looked up and
saw a train coming from the south,
ured the distance with his eye and de-
cided in a fraction of a second that
he couldn't cross ahead of the on-rush-
ing locomotive.
There seemed but ede> cehaaee--a
narrow one-and Mr.. O'Brien took it
without losing his nerve for an in
stant. He turned the wheel of his mo-
tor car and headed it northward. 1t
was narrow calculation, but he hoped
to clear the train and run along paral-
lei with it until he could slow down
and halt
The maneuver saved his life and
that of Mrs. O'Brien, but only by a
matter of inches. AS it was, the pilot
of the locomotive struck one of the
rear corners Of the automobile There
was a crash of glass and grinding of
splintered wood and the motor car was
hurled several feet, but away from the
train instead of under it.
Mrs. O'Brien was severely cut and
bruised and was taken to the Engle-
wood Hospital. Mr. O'Brien was
thrown against the side of the automo-
bile and received cuts and decorations,
especially to his hands. Through a
coincidence the name of the locomo-
tive engineer also was O'Brien. 1t was
too late to check his speed much after
he first glimpsed Mr.. O'Briens motor
car, he said.-New York Herald.

Only about SO people were present

ing was small it was very enthusi-

to make it permanent meeting and
a committee is to be formed to make
arrangements for next year.
The program consisted of COM
munity singing and short addresses.
Mr.. Weir of Edgewater was one of
the speakers and Herbert Everett of
Grantwood spoke on the subject of
patriotism. L. Josephson, the pianist,
played a selection and Mrs. Wallace
Mcdonald gave an appropriate read
ing.
Plans for securing a small plot of
ground to be called America Park

what was represented. There were

and twenty feet high, the silver,
sparkling fire rolling over in exact i'm

automobile horn blowing from the
hundreds of cars around the grounds.
The other set pieces consisting of va
rious designs were all beautifully and
| wonderfully executed, the only bauble
being the failure of the American flag
set piece to materialize, due to the
fact that small boy had taken away
a necessary rope of powder needed for
the successful execution of the moving
flag. However, the great array of
magnificent aerial bombs with their
showers of gold and silver and falling
parachutes of stars and other wonder
full things, together with the finale of
perfect Vesuvian eruption of bombs,
so gratified the audience that there
was one glad acclaim of appreciation
for what Yurillo had shown because
he had surpassed all his former ef-
forts.
Mrs Stewart, Mrs. Sharpe, Mrs.
Clark, Mrs. Valentine and others dis
pensed hundreds of cuts of Keystone
ice cream to the children on the
grounds, and everybody had enough
and to spare. There were some eight
hundred pieces of ice cream given
away to the tots.

pie reason to be proud of her July 4th
for 1928. The borough authorities,
through Chief of Police Arthur Ker-
win, did themselves proud in the ad-
mirable manner in which they han

biles and crowds of people without an
accident or delay of any kind. They
kindly sent down half a dozen of their
