"Our banks will take an active part this special which had the purpose of bringing banks and members of the public closer together.

To many people banking is a mysterious progress, and banks are- often looked Upon as very formal, ultra-conserva-tive institutions. In our Know-Your- Bank Week program, we will make a special effort to bring to every man and woman in our community the facts about' banking, dispel the clement of mystery, and Demonstrate to people the fact that the banks are 'run and staffed by. human beings no than their own friends and neighbors.

The officials were: First Ward, Councilman John Kimack, Republican; Second Ward, Councilman Andrew Sabo, Republican Third Ward, Councilman Carmine T.

Perrapato, Democrat; Fourth Ward, Councilman Walter Wasik, Democrat Kimack defeated Walter S. fzop; Sabo won over Edward Molchon; Per-. -A S'l I Entire Ticket Wins by 50,000 Majority Case Is Given 46,501 Over Howell; Mrs. Marggraff Becomes First Woman Freeholder Jones Happy Defying all the political adages and most of the predictions, Bergen County voters trudged through a day-long driving rain in Tuesday's election to roll up old-time majorities of 50,000 and better for the Republican ticket. In the process they accorded Clifford P.

Case, United States senator an astounding 46,000 majority. According to the count at press time, Case was "winner in the State by 2,317 votes. His State total was his opponent's, Charles R. Howell, 858,273. -7tf The 1954 version of the souped-up Republican machine, supposedly broken dodh and running, on three cylinders, turned in what Amounted to a surprising result, in view of dire predictions that Case would be lucky to carry the County and that others on the Republican ticket would be hurt by his unpopularity in his own party.

Actually, the precise opposite happened, as has been the case during most of the campaign, 'The ticket helped Case rather having Case hurt the ticket The big Republican victory, reminscent of happier, calmer days within the party, swept, back into office the County's two members of Congress, William B. Widnall in the Seventh District and Frank C. Osmers, in the Ninth. Widnall won Bergen County tty 27,000 and Osmers by 32,000. Donald G.

Dutcher of Cresskill, incumbent Surrogate, was high man on the Republican ticket with 140,000, while George Hollenbeck, unsuccessful Freeholder candidate, led the Democrats with almost 92,000. Here are the County results: Republicans Democrats il. S. Senator Case .130,492 Howell 83,991 Congress (Seventh) '9 Widnall 64,181 Demarest 1 37,416 Congress (Ninth) Osmers 79,126 O'Connell 47,865 Assembly Xraus 136,366 Romano 85,274 Savino 133,125 Clark 86,889 Sheriff Ferber 135,572 Ely 89,452 Surrogate Dutcher Schneider 87,089 Freeholder JOHN KIMACK (First Ward, Republican) i (J I i Skrocki, 1,866. Their Republican opponents were Emil Sudol, 1,454 votes, and -Chester A.

Sembarski, 1,535. The referendum for an increase of $400 in police salaries was lost, 1,673 and 965. The State medical-dental school referendum received opposition, 1,710 to 807. Of the 5,014 registered voters in five districts, 3,570 visited the polls. Krajewski, American third party candidate for U.

S. Senator, with 319 votes, made inroads in the Howell-Case race, as both these candidates ran behind on' their ticket, Howell receiving 1,874 votes and Case, 897. Democrats won by an average majority of about 900 votes elsewhere on the ballot. The late resignation of Councilman Chester Halka, Democrat, which enables Mayor Walter Marut to name his successor, saved the Republicans from losing control next year, as the Council will then be evenly divided with Edward Zavatsky, Serwin and Skrocki as Democrats and Councilmen Paul Boruta, Albert Fleyzor and Mayor Marut's appointee as Republicans. The Democrats claimed that Halka's resignation was received in time to have his successor chosen at the election but the Republicans contended the resignation is not effective until accepted and it has not as yet been accepted.

Serwin and Skrocki will succeed Councilman John R. Kraska and John Jaworski, Republicans, who declined to seek re-election. Serwin at present is president of the Board of Health Skrockf-was water rent collector for a period ef a little over two years.

Normally all three factors would cut down the vote.

It was particularly sweet victory for State Senator Walter H. Jones, Who was the architect of the ticket, the dispeller-of discouragement and, the rallying most all others were willing' to point for the Case forces when almost all -others were getting to forsake what looked like a sinking ship. Bergen County's 46,000 stands out like a beacon, far and away the biggest plurality for Case in the State. With Hudson it was the county which was causing the Case camp the most concern.
