twenty big sup~er-features that Gold

SCHOOL VOTE
LAW CHANGED
Nominations for Board OFF,
ces Will be Made by
Petitions Only

WOODBRIDGE, Jan. I7.-As it
nears time for the annual school
election in ~boroughs and township,
recognition must be taken of the
new state law governing election OF
that kind. For some years past the
only thing necessary in the school
elections was the posting of notices
that such an election was to be held
and the printing CT ballots. Now
however, all this is changed and be-
fore one can become a candidate for
member of the board of education,
he must first have a petition
filed for the nomination, which has
heen signed bv ten legal voters.
These petitions, in printed form, may
be obtained from the district clerk.
With the petition must be filed an
affidavit by one of the signers to
show that the candidate is eligible
to membership on the board. I'm
like the usual election petitions, a
person may sign as many petitions
as there are vacancies in the board
oe education. The ballots are to be
printed in alphabetical order, ae-
cording to the last name Of the can
didate. There can be no grouping
or bracketing of names or nominal
tions from the floor.
In Woodbridge there will be four
vacancies, three for three years and
n for one year. Those whose
terms expire are: Miss Annabel
Baker, Avenel; B. Z. Walling and NJ.

pay q counsel fee of $3.50 to Samuel
Kalisch Jr., of kalisch & Kalisch,
Mrs. McCullum's solicitor.
On that November night Mrs. Nc
Cullum's weeping over the unhappy
lot as she lay abed angered her hus-
band and the quarrel he raised
caused her to dress and leave the
house. seeking solitude for the nurs-
ing of her grief, she testified. This
seemed to displease him even more,
according to Mrs. McCullum's
recital, for he a after her and
brought her baI1. Indoors he beat
her and then threw her down and
tied her feet with a towel, after
which he left her to get a rope for
the further trusting up of the wo-
a he had vowed to cherish only
eight months before.
Took Two Hours to Free Self
Before the husband got back with
the rope, however, his victim man
sged to free herself and to escape
from the house. only to be overtaken
and tied up, ~whereupon she was left
lying in the open, her husband re-
turning to his bed. According to Mrs.
McCullum it took her two hours to
Tree herself from her bonds, and this
accomplished she went back into the
house and spent the remainder of
the night in the kitchen.
On another occasion, Mrs. McCul-
lum told, her husband beat her and
then followed her to her room up
stairs, saying "WeIl Wen finish the
job right now" 1T closed my eyes
and awaited his next move in great
dread" Mrs. MeCullum testified,
and this seemed to bring him to a
realizing sense of what he was doing,
for he desisted from further Vio-
Ience.''
Mrs. McCullum testified that she
thereupon telephoned to her father
and he came to the farm and took
her home with him. On a promise
OF better treatment, she told, she re-
turned to the farm, only to undergo
cruel treatment again.
Mrs. MeCullum testified further
that OF one occasion she was accused
by her husband of eating eggs which
ne wanted to sell and that he want
sd. her to do farm work. She is a
c0iIege graduate and is now employ
ed as a bookkeeper. In all the four
