Serenaders Make
Armory Beautiful
For Xmas Dance

The Tennessee Serenaders are to
be heartily commended for the artis-
tic settings arranged for their Christ
mas dance held at the armory on
Christmas night.
No expense or pains had been
spared to make everything as invit-
ing as it could be made, and the re-
suits were really worth while There
is certain satisfaction in having
achieved a thing. even if it be just
for the glory Of making a thing beau
tiful and pleasing TO the eye.
The stage was a perfect bower of
Christmas trees, and huge Christ
mas bell with a large electric light
for a clapper, suspended from the
roof adorned the center OF the room.
Thousands, SO it seemed, of green
and red streamers We're Eracegully
hung from this bell TO the walls,
while festoous of the same coIors
completely filled the interstices
around the bannisters on the balcony.
The Serenaders wore uniform dress
white trousers and blue coats.
Altogether il was one OF the pretu-
est affairs Of several seasons.

fert and Prosecutor Hart told what
was going to be done?
"Who, if any one, is said to have
taken graft?
"Why was no raiding done in Gar
field?
What attention will the grand
jurors pay to complaints of rough
treatment by the raiders?
''Will the inquisitors give any con-
sideration to a sentiment in Bergen
county against state troopers; feel
ing that has nothing to do with vice
raids?
"The speculation as to the response
bility for the raids is based partly
on these facts. In Bergen county are
the home of Walter G. Whine, United
States District Attorney; of Ralph
w. Chandless, the next Speaker of the
New Jersey House, and of Senator
William B. Mackay, candidate for the
Republican nomination as Governor.
The general idea of the politically
minded is that the raids were sug-
gested "to show up" some one. The
arguments vary as to the identity of
the intended object of the showing
up"
The Thursday New York Graphic
suggested:
"a vigilance committee of citizens
of Bergen county, New Jersey, may
grow out of the expose of alleged i'm
moral conditions in road houses, with
places have been running full blast
view to investigating reports that
under official protection.
Officials of the state troopers, which
conducted raids Saturday throughout
the county, say that evidence was OBJ
tanned against fifty-one places"

Parent-Teacher Board
To Broadcast Over WODA

A new venture in the field of Par
ent-Teacher work has been taken up
by the Bergen County Council for the
purpose of acquainting the public
with P. It. A. activities throughout
the county.
The County Executive Board,
through the courtesy of Station
WODA (O'Dea Talking Machine Com
pany), of Paterson, have arranged to
broadcast a P. T. A. program one
evening each month.
The talent will be procured only
from Bergen County and the work
of broadcasting will be entirely under
the supervision of Carl w. DANES,
chairman of the Bergen County Coun-
cil who during the last four years
has had ample opportunity during his
visits throughout the county to be-
come acquainted with the best talent,
all of whom have expressed a ready
willingness to cooperate in the ven
ture.
The first program will be given on
the evening of December II, with the
following artists:
w. p Campbell, Ridgefield Parks
popular Scotch tenor; the Treble (la-
dies) Quartet of Hackensack, COM
posed of the following: Mrs. Nina
Voorhis (frst soprano). Mrs. Grace
Stebbins (second soprano), Mrs.
Katherine Terhune (first alto), and
Mrs. Hazel Park (second soprano) /;
Mrs Grace Kimble, contralto, from
Teaneck. Mrs. Warren Carlin of Hack
ensack will be at the piano for the
evening.
This is entirely a Bergen County
project and is the first time such a
program under P. II. A. auspices has
been given over the air in this State.

Meeting of Fort
Lee School Board

The Board of Education of Fort Lee
in regular session on Monday night
wrestled with the problem of the in
corrigible child in it's midst, over
which a long discussion was held.
The boy in question has been a
problem for the past two years. Mr..
Chase said he deemed it his duty to
suspend him as a necessary measure
for the welfare of other pupils, who
were becoming demoralized by his in
fiuence and conduct.
His action was Endorsed by the ma
jority of the board, Mr.. Abbott alone
holding that he could not vote on hav-
ing the boy sent to a reformatory, as
he believed that there was still hope
for him under proper treatment.
Mr. Abbott said he thought there
should be some intermediary course
between the public schools and the
State reformatory. A motion was
finally carried that the boy be sent
to the probation officer at Hackensack.
A delegation from the Palisade unit
of the Parent-Teachers Association
was present and requested the consid-
Grafton of the board ON the matter
of an earlier closing hour, from $3.50
to o'clock The matter was referred
to a future meeting following joint
meeting of all the units in the bor-
ough, when reports will be heard as
to the sentiment of the community
regarding the change. 1t is expected
that the combined meeting of the units
will be called for date this month
in order that the reports may be made
at the next regular meeting of the
board on January 4.
