TALK BYPHONOGRAPH

A unique address to more than 90
900 members of the Chevrolet selling
organization scattered throughout the
United States was achieved recently
by r. II. Grant, general sales man.
ager of the Chevrolet Motor company.
Mr.. Grant announced the opening of
the Chevrolet fall selling campaign by
means of duplicate photograph records
which reproduced his voice in the show
room of every Chevrolet dealer, re.
ports the Smith Motor Sales Company.
Under Mr.. Grants direction the
Photographic address plan worked out
smoothly to complete success.
In each of the thousands Of Chevro-
let salesrooms was gathered at exactly
the same hour an interested group of
statesmen. Their ranks were augment
ed by numerous members of the Chev-

ested in selling, who attended because
OF curiosity over the novelty OF the
meeting.
3 At a previously established Zero

STREET PLANNING,
PUBLIC EDUCATION
TO CUT ACCIDENTS

If the country expects to make
more rapid progress in the solution
of the hazard problem on the streets
and highways, cities, towns and COM
munities must tackle the safety ques-
ton as primarily one Of engineering
and street planning on the one hand
and of public education on the other.
This was the keynote of an address
on Safety and the Automobile" de-
livered by Thomas p. Henry. presi-
dent of the American Automobile As
ISOLATION, before the annual congress
of the national safety council in ses-
sion in Cleveland.
President Henry issued a strong
warning that the country must cease
to depend on police powers and tenn
pornry regulations to solve the traffic
problem and urged that safety work
in the future be directed toward pub
lie education and cfty and community
planning in the larger sense.

NEW FAC DRY
IS BUILDING
BATTERIES

Automobile Row has another fac
tory. Beals Battery company has
opened its new plant at go South
Presa street, following the remodcling
of a building on the site and the
erection of another in the rear of it.
In the new plant, the company
makes about 10000 battery plates
and about 300 batteries a month,
states L. C. Bcals, manager.
The battery plates are made from
raw materials. The plate frames arc
cast and then pasted with a com
position. The plates are then put in
"pickling' vat, where they are first
treated.
COMPLETE PROCESS.
After the plates are removed from
the vat and dried they are ready tc
be put in new batteries.
With the exception Of the rubber
containers, Beals batteries are com
pletely made in San Antonio. The
rubber containers arc purchased from
Goodrich Rubber company, he says.
EMPLOY IL MEN.
The company has battery box
factory in Harlandale. The remainder
of the battery work is done at the
South Prcsa street plant.
There are seventeen men employed
by the company in making and selling
Beals batteries, says Mr.. Bcals. They
work in the company's three establish.
ments, in Harlandale, on South Presa
street and a store on South Flores

Palisadian., 1925-04-17

The religious tendencies of people
find full freedom for expression in the
several communities along the Pali-
sades, for in each community are a
number of fine churches with compe-
tent ministers in their service.
Palisade from it's start in 1905 de-
veloped a comparatively new idea in
community worship and built Union
church, where those of all denomina-
tions may come to join in praise-giv-
ing. This Union church idea has
worked well, and the fame of the lit
tie pioneer church in Palisade has
spread.
In the other communities the Cath
olic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Congrega
tional, Baptist and Presbyterian
churches are represented and have
their own temples of worship. The
clergy are chosen from the leaders OF
their profession and help to keep the
Palisadian., 1925-04-17

high morale of their communities
what it should be.
All of the churches foster the Sun
day school idea where children go to
learn those moral principles that are
so necessary to the development Of
fine manly and womanly characters.
The Palisade Sunday school alone has
120 eager and willing members.
There are some who because of for
mer connections like to attend church
in New York city. For them it is only
half hours ride on trolley and boat
or in the auto and every church in the
great metropolis is at hand. Palisade,
Grantwood and the other communities
are directly opposite st. Johns Cathe-
dral, just one and one-half miles away.
From the spiritual point Of view
there is little more to be desired on
the Palisades, and the many social
affairs sponsored by the various
church organizations play an impor-
tant role in the social life Of the resi-
It's.
Palisadian., 1925-04-17


keeping fire losses at a minimum is
really remarkable. Recently the bor-
ough of Cliffside Park established a
paid fire department, which means
even better protection. The depart
ments of the adjacent communities
never fail to help their neighbors
when it is necessary for them to do SO.
The police are all Of a fine type, and
lawlessness is not a common thing,
due to their constant vigil. 1t is
against the invader from without the
community limits that care must be
taken, and Jersey justice is always
the aftermath of any attempt to dis
turb the peace and quietude of the
ideal suburbs.
The populace have a deep feeling
of appreciation for the work of these
two departments on which they de-
pend for protection.

Employment May Be
Had on Jersey Side

Though the great majority Of men
who have made their homes on the
Palisades are business men Of New
York city, there are number that are
employed in nearby towns on the Jer-
sey side of the river in Hoboken, Jer-
sey City, Union Hill, Edgewater, etc.
There are many places where employ
ment in nearly all lines of endeavor
may be had in the immediate terri
tory.
Edgewater, an industrial town of
factories and homes at the rivers
edge, has a number of large indus
tries, including the Warner Sugar Re-
finery.
The Warner Sugar Refining Com
pany in Edgewater started in 1907 and
at the outset employed from $50 to
500 persons. It's output at that time
was about 500 barrels a day. 1t grew
rapidly each year and today employs
from 1850 to 1,4O0 people and has
daily output of 11,000 barrels. It is es-
timated that within a few years it
will afford employment for over 5000
persons, male and female. Employ
ment in nearly every trade and voca-
tion can be found there. 1t has its
own cooperage, where 800 men are
employed making barrels that carry
the product to all parts of the world.
The Warner Company is known the
world over, and through it have come
many hundreds of families to make
their homes in and about Edgewater.
All industrial plants are removed
from the residential districts, which
are fully protected by deed restric-
tions and zoning laws.

ance in dealing with city olHcldlS' WHO
him at The Times.
BY Mr.. Fixit
The park board will aid property
owners in obtaining removal Of dan
gerous trees that threaten to drop
on passersby or on persons IN al
joining properties, Mr.. Fixit discov-
cred today.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: 1 am writing
to see if you can find out about
large tree partly dead in the first
alley off Washington st. on Car
field Ave 1t is very dangerous and
the residents here are afraid it Will
fall and either hurt some one or
damage their garage,
MRS. w. w.
Ebert Moore, city forester, will
investigate this complaint at once.
If the tree is in the lawn OF a
property owner, he will be or
dered to remove it; if it is on city
property the park board will han
die the case.
DEAR MIR. FIXIT: Can you dis
cover any good reason why creosoted
wooden blocks should be used in our
streets?
All that l can say for them is
that they are like Ivory soap-they
float away every time it rains, or
else buckle up. They also are very
dangerous in wet weather, because
they are so slippery and when the
weather is dry the tar covering
makes them so. In the storm sun
day. Meridian st. was torn up at
various places north of the Fan
Creek bridge. No doubt these blocks
will be put back in place, where they
will remain until the next rain.
NY suggestion would be that these
blocks which have washed out
should be replaced temporarily with
bricks until such time as the rest
of the street washes away and then
an entirely new street Of asphalt or
concrete be laid. 1t is a waste OF
the taxpayers money to lay new
streets or even repair old ones with
these wooden blocks. c. E. A.
Authorities at the city hall
agree with your denunciation OF
wooden block as paving ma
terial However, they believe it
would be illogical to repair the
street with brick because of its
bad appearance along with the
block paving. Mr.. Fixit would
suggest that petition be
circulated for resurfacing the
