NEWS OF THE
WOMEN'S CLUBS
Palisade
ANNUAL MEETING

The regular annual meeting of the
Woman's Club of Palisade was held
on May l at the home of Mrs. g..
Meyn; assistant hostess, Mrs. d. r.
Houser. The president, Mrs. T. Hen
ri Jeltrup, presided.
All the standing committees read
very interesting reports of their ac-
tivities during the past year. Also
a report of the Sixth District held in
Ridgewood on April 81.
The programs this season have
been varied and noteworthy. They
included such speakers as Prof. Ray
mond Moley of Barnard College, who
gave an able analysis of the plat
forms of the principal presidential
candidates; real live poetess in the
person of Amelia Burr; an author,
Mr.. William Mearns; a graphic de-
scription of the different instruments
used in well-balanced orchestra and
orchestral color by Mr.. Mayhem
Lake; two programs featuring local
and club talent; by way of little
spice, a story-anecdote telling contest /;
and Miss Galiesh of Horace Mann
School in lecture on "The Need for
Kindergarten"
At the request of Mrs. Thomas d.
Rambaut, chairman of the Institu-
tional Cooperation Department for
Bergen County, the matter of the es-
tablishment Of a psychiatric clinic in
this county was fully discussed and
a resolution unanimously adopted, de-
claring the need of Juvenile clinic
in Bergen county. The resolution also
provides that Bergen County Board
of Freeholders shall be requested to
establish such clinic in this county.
The tragedy which recently oc-
CURED in the abandoned quarry at
Anderson avenue and the trolley line
was the occasion for extended discus
sion. AS result, the president was
requested to appoint a committee who,
together with representatives of the
Parent-T Teachers Association and the
Improvement Association, should
wait upon the Mayor and Borough
Council, to the end that this constant
menace to health and life may be re-
moved and that such action be taken
as will make it impossible for dam
gerous spots of this sort to exist in
the Borough of Fort Lee.
Also, in the belief that it is better
to lock the door before than after the
horse has been stolen, the president
was asked to name committee to
take up with the Mayor and Council
the matter of the Borough dog ordi-
nance as it stands today. 1t seems
that under it's present provisions
nothing can be done with a dog show
ing signs of rabies until he has bitten
someone. 1t is the purpose of the
proposed committee to request strict
enforcement of the muzzling law and,
further, the imposing of a heavy
penalty upon the dog owner who ig-
nores the requirements of the ordi-
nance, unless the dog has been prop
erly inoculated against rabies.
Mrs. Jeltrup made strong appeal
for substantial interest in the Nelson
Drive on the part of Club members,
and headed a party who visited the
Christian Orphan Home at the close
of the meeting.
The next and last meeting for the
season of 1924-25 will be held on May
Is at the home of Mrs. George E.
Clark, 1882 Cumbermede road; assist
ant hostess, Mrs. Edward Dobbelaar.
The program is in charge of of Mrs.
George L. Cory. The subject is: "The
Need for a kindergarten" and the
speaker will be Miss Alice Dalgiesh,
one of the teachers of kindergarten at
Horace Mann School. An interesting
