States that abundant forests, widely
distributed and maintained in con

ever conserved as one Of our greatest
natural resources, and
Whereas, because of our constant.
ly increasing need for wood and other
forest products, together with oul
past failure to provide for reforest

liplies Of timber as fast as they are
renewed through growth; and
Whereas; the most formidable a

Another Ruling
On Zoning Law

The Supreme Court in Trenton has
set aside another zoning measure.
On the ground that the ordinance
was unreasonable the court directed
the issuance of a peremptory writ OF
mandamus instructing Albert S.
Blank, engineer for the town of Belle
vile, to issue a permit to Edgar o.
Hayes for the erection of a garage on
the northerly side of John street,
Belleville, which had been refused
because the proposed building violat-
ed the provisions of the zoning ordi-
nance of that municipality.
The proposed location of the build
ing and the uses to which the sur
rounding lands are devoted, said the
court, does not make such prohibition
in the ordinance necessary for the pro-
lection of the public health or public
safety.

Address by Colby
In Hackensack

The Hon. Everett Colby will give an
address on Our Foreign Relations"
Monday, October 13, at 8:15 p. m. in
the State Street School auditorium in
Hackensack.
This meeting, under the auspices of
the Nanpartisan League of Nations
Association is free, and cordial in
vitation is extended to all to be pres
ent. .
Everett Colby is thoroughly con-
versant with his theme from first hand
knowledge, for in his interest in inter
national affairs he has travelled
through Europe, Egypt, India, China
and Japan and also visited England to
familiarize himself with party machin-
cry.
During the war he was sent by Mr..
Herbert Hoover to make survey of
the food situation in Europe, and in
1923 he attended the assembly of the
League of Nations and visited the
World Court and is therefore familiar
with the aims and work of these or

MISS G. BOAS DIES OF
|NFANTILE PARAL YSIS
Teacher in GrantWood School III
Only a Week; Community
Mourns Her Passing; Was
Beloved by All.

The entire community was shocked
and saddened on Monday last by the
sudden death of Miss Gertrude Boas,
daughter of Professor and Mrs. Frank
Boas of Franklin avenue, Grantwood
of infantile paralysis.
Miss Boas was twenty-five years old
and was a teacher in the kindergar-
ten department of the Grantwood
school, on Lawton avenue.
She was taken i'll on Monday of
last week and was confined to her
home up to the time of her death on
last Monday evening. DR.. Fesler OF
Grantwood was the attending physi
clan, and last weekend when it seem
ed positive that infantile paralysis
had gotten hold of the patient num-
ber of New York specialists were
called in consultation.
The departed one was buried on
Tuesday afternoon.
She had been a teacher in the
Grantwood school for the past two
years and was beloved by the pupils
and her companion teachers.
WI It Daily
of the Cliffside Board of Education,
offered the following resolution at
last nights meeting of the board:
Whereas the Heavenly Father in
His supreme wisdom has called unto
Himself one of His loyal teachers,
Miss Gertrude Boas, and whereas we
appreciate the sadness that has come
into the home of her devoted parents.
Be it resolved that the Board of
Education extend to DR.. and Mrs.
Boas our heartfelt sympathy in the
loss which they have sustained, and
be it further resolved that copy of
this resolution be spread upon the
minutes and transmitted to DR.. and
Mrs. Boas.
The school has been closed for the
purpose of fumigation until Tuesday
next.
The sympathy of all goes out to the
family in their hour of bereavement.
A noble character has passed on.

Of running boroughs in New Jersey,

HARRY CLARK, JR., MADE

Miss Abigail PenneII in Behalf of
Scholars Thanks Retiring Su-
perintendent, Mr.. Good
man, for His Work.

The Sunday school board of the I'm
ion church of Palisade held an out
door meeting on Saturday last and
elected Harry Clark, Jr., as superin-
tendent of the Sunday school to fill
the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of w. r. Goodman.
Mrs. D. H. Valentine was elected
corresponding secretary to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of
Mrs. Ernest Sibley.
Mrs. Leslie Mapes was elected as
sistant superintendent and education
al chairman, and Leslie Mapes was
made music chairman.
The meeting was held in the open
air on the Palisades in the vicinity of
Coytesville.
The meeting was opened with a
prayer by Rev. Allan Hunter, and
after the election of officers the COM
ing programs were discussed.
A delightful supper, prepared by
Miss Eleanor Pennell, was cooked
over an open fire, and social hour
around the camp fire followed.
During the session of the school
on Sunday last Miss Abigail Pennell
read an original paper expressing in
behalf of the scholars their thanks
for Mr.. Goodman's work in the school.
The text of the talk follows:
"Do we realize what Mr. Goodman
has done for us and the Sunday
school? Here are some of the
things:
1.-THE Sunday school has not only
grown in attendance, but, what is bet
ter, the pupils have shown greater
interest, and | believe it is now one
of the best Sunday schools in Bergen
county.
''The treasurer's, fund has been in
creased to such an extent that we
have been enabled to give regularly
every month to the Missionary Fund.
MIR. Goodman insisted on and car
ried out the need of having the Sun
day school start promptly at 10
o'clock in a manner that any pupil
who was late was impressed with the
Importance of being on time the fol-
lowing Sunday.
"He brought about by this greater
interest a rivalry in attendance
among the classes, and then to create
more interest he offered a banner to
the class having the best attendance
and record from Sunday to Sunday.
"To the music-always most i'm
portant part-he has given great at
tention, with the result that we have
an orchestra to lead us and extra mu-
sic, which we have all enjoyed. We
have also enjoyed the singing of the
songs on the screen, which has held
our attention and, | think, improved
the singing.
"Order and obedience have been
emphasized. and there has been more
life to things from the opening bell.
I'VE are thankful to you, Mr.. Good
man, for your leadership and wnat
you have done for us, and we feel
your interest, even though you have
left your active part.

The people just must have them and

just what all this anxiety over free

to any one in seeking so desperately
to serve the dear people for nothing
at all? Could there be any such thing
as a division of earnings on the con-
tracts for sewers, roads and the like?
OF course not! Then why, in heavens S
name, would men fight and wrangle
and call each other names just for
the sake of free Offices? OF course
mere onlookers could not understand
the dear, sweet altruism behind it
all. The mystery of it is still unsolved,
however, locked tightly within the
bosoms of the politicians. They alone
knew and they carry the key!

Political Gossip

The Chairman of the Bergen Coun
ty Republican Committee, B. Duncan
| McClave, has issued the following
statement for the benefit of all voters
| On October IA, citizens who live
in Garfield and Hackensack, both be
ing over $4,000 in population accord
ing to the last census, will have theil
last opportunity to register for the
election on November 4. The various
election boards will sit at the polling
| places between / p. M. and 8 p. Nj
for this purpose.
In all other municipalities of Ber
gen County there has been a canvass
made of each house and the probabili
ties are that every citizen is register
ed. If, however, no one was home
when the members of the boards
called on September 8, there is a
chance that these citizens are not
registered. In that case, they may
register on October IA, by appearing
before their local polling place be
tween the hours of l P. NJ. and P. NJ
or by having some other citizen ap
pear for them to take a proper af
fidavit.
The voters who are i'll to the extent
that they may not be able to go to
the polls on Election Day, November
or the voters who expect to be alb
sent on November 4, should write to
the Bergen County Board of Election
and request absentee ballots. This re-
quest must be made on or before Oc-
