ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
BY DESERTED WIFE
IN CLIFFSIDE PARK
Tried to Keep Herself and Three
Children Alive on Only 81
Per Week; Will Recover.

The struggle of a mother who for
five weeks tried to sustain life in her
three infants on 81 week ended in
an attempt at suicide on last Satur-
day night in Cliffside.
Mrs. Jennie Kodyn was the unfor-
tunate woman's name, and she lived
on Nagel street in Cliffside with
three small children. Her husband
deserted her over a month ago, and
with an allotment of only So a week
from the poor fund she bravely tried
to keep the little family alive.
The fight was too great, and on last
Saturday night she kissed her kid
dies goodby, sent them to the street
to play and after locking herself in
the bedroom turned on the gas.
The youngsters, not comprehending
why she had told them goodby, re-
entered the house, and when their
mother did not respond to their cries
they broke the glass in the bedroom
door and saw her lying PROSTATE on
the floor.
Frightened, they screamed for Adam
Wojiski, neighbor, who notified the
police, and DR.. Hellstern was sum-
moned. The victim was removed to
the North Hudson Hospital, and late
reports say she will recover
The youngest child, baby girl just
seven months old, is being cared for
temporarily by the Netubio family of
$50 Walker street, while Wojiski is
caring for the two little boys.
Arrangements are being made to
put the children in an institution, and
Mrs. Kodyn will be provided for until
she is strong enough to secure en-
ployment.
No one knows the whereabouts of
the husband, who up to month ago
was employed as cooper at the War
ner Sugar Refinery in Edgewater

$4,000 to Daughter
AS Wedding Gift
By Vim. ]. Foeppel

William j. Foeppel, of Burlingame
Cal, rich suburb of San Francisco
was in Palisade last Tuesday a guest
of the Charles T. Logan family. He
was formerly a resident of Palisade
and lived in Dearborn road. Mrs
Foeppel is with her husband, and they
are guests of their son, Gustave, in
Hasbrouck Heights. The Foeppels will
remain in the East about three
months, pending the purchase of a
new home by Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Whistler, the latter being their daugh-
ter, Miss Clara Foeppel. who was mar.
ried early in July. The Whislers are
occupying the Foeppel home in Bur.
lingame until their own new home is
selected and completed.
Mr.. Foeppel confided the fact that
the Whislers are quite hapy and we'll
mated. Mr.. Whistler is an expert ac-
countant and doing we'll. Mrs. Whis.
Ter was the recipient of a check for
$4,000 from her father at her wedding.
Mr.. Foeppel speaks entertainingly
of his happiness in California. His
home town is growing so fast he can
not keep up with the people. 1t has
jumped from 1000 population four
years ago to $4,000 today and still on
the rampage. He says he doesn't know
where the people can come from. "Cal-
ifornia climate" Mr.. Foeppel said,
"beats all the world. 1t is really won.
derful. We never use ice. All we
have to keep things cool is circulation
in little cold storage room and we
don't need pound of ice. Circula-
tion does it. If we used the cellar We
could beat a refrigerator. / still have
a fondness for Palisade, but / think
the people pay too little attention to
their gardens. You have improved
wonderfully, though
Mr.. Foeppel spoke, also. of his last
years visit to South America. He says
Argentina is an interesting country
but, like it's chief city, is much over
rated. The people, somehow, lack
quality. The schools are poor, and
homes are poorly kept. No, / can't
enthuse over Buenos Ayres."

County Park Plan
By Charm McClave
Meets Approval

Hearty endorsement for Republican
a county park system for Bergen coun-
ty was voiced recently Ridgewood by
Counselor Arthur T. Dear of Ridge
wood, in statement dealing with the
needs for parks in this county.
Mr.. Dear said: County Chairman
McClave has rendered public serv-
ice by calling attention to the great
need of securing at this time a sys-
tenn of county parks for Bergen coun-
ty to meet the necessities of the near
future. l sincerely trust that Mr.. Nc
Clave's action will help to arouse
such a public sentiment on the sub
ject that there will be appointed at
no distant date commission with
adequate power to secure the needed
land for parks, either by outright pur-
chase or by condemnation.
Bergen county, which had a popu-
lation of 13S,OO2 in 1910 saw that pop
ulation increase to 17S,596 by 1916
which in 1920 had increased to 210,-
703. At the present time nobody
would be surprised to know that we
now have 250,000 or even more. In
very few counties has the ratio of in
crease been so great as it has been
in Bergen county.
"The Hudson river bridge, which
is to be a reality inside of four years
under the Mackay act, will as mat
ter of course, attract a vast new
population to Bergen county. This
fact, taken in connection with the
natural increase in population, makes
it absolutely necessary for us to pro-
vide proper breathing places for the
large population that will soon be
crowded within our borders. No
county possesses more and finer sites
usable for park purposes than Bergen
county. All over the territory there
are localities and regions that would
be splendidly adapted for county
parks. If secured now the cost would
be low If the acquisition is delayed
the price to be paid will soon go up.
If we delay for any considerable time,
the prices will be prohibitive. 1t is
obviously the part of wisdom to move
speedily. Few investments would be
more certain of bigger returns"

rs The CRANTWOOD BALL TEAM
TO RECEIVE The SUPPORT OF THE
CITIzENS?" ASKS LA MAR J. VIEAU
Home Games So Far Not Well Attended and Future of
Team Depends Aid From the Residents Team
Plays for the Sport of 1t and Only Wants to Break
Even Financially; Next Home Game Aug. q

The Grantwood Athletic Club base
ball team has played two games at
home this season on the Fairgrounds
in West Grantwood, and won both
games. The attendance however, at
these two games have been very small,
which has discouraged the club in
their efforts to furnish the people of
the borough with good clean game
of bail for their entertainment. The
question rests entirely with the pub
/ lie as to whether the team will con-
tinue to play at home or travel for
the balance of the season
So that the people of the borough
may know and fully realize our posi-
tion, the situation is as follows: Re-
ceipts for the two games played at
home amount to about $14.50. From
this must be paid guarantee of SIS
to one team and $5 to another, also
baseballs for the two games, which
cost $3.50 each, and about four balls
are used in each game From this
it is easy to see that the boys are
! forced to take the money out of their
own pockets and make up the differ
ence each Sunday. The club is per-
fectly satisfied if they just cover ex-
penses for the reason that they do not
play ball to make money
Sunday July 26, the team will play
in Palisade Park, N. j. They will
play at home on August 2, when they
meet the Coytesville team, with Ger
aid Gerrity their old first baseman,
pitching for Coytesville. August and
16 will also be home games. Palisade
Park team will be here on the 16. II
the people do not express their desire
for the boys to continue their efforts
by attending these mex three games,
it will be necessary to cancel the bal
ance of the home games for the
season.
The Grantwood team is made up of
many of the 'old favorites," Walter
Weigele, Nick Borrell, Joe Gerrity,
Moose Hecker, Tony Griffin, Mick
Hozier, Eddie Delaney, Charlie Hafiey,
Frank Munley and a few new ones
have been added who have been play
ing wonderful ball this season. Among
the new faces is Richard Yelling
horst, who we all remember pitched
good ball for our high school and for
the past two years has been pitching
for Union College.
The club places this matter frankly
before the public. Shall the team
continue to play ball at home with
he backing of their home town people
or shall they travel away from home?
1t is the most sincere hope of the
club that they will receive the proper
backing, which will enable them to
continue their efforts. Remember,
this is the team which brought the
championship of the Bergen County
Journal League to our borough three
years ago and are still going as strong
as ever. Are the people of the bor-
ough with the club?
