Reach Agreement On Filling (Continued from Page One) eluded fifteen or more of the Interested property owners, the companys officials, Sebastian Oaeta of Wyckoff, their attorney, and Roy J. Qrimley, Ridgewood lawyer, who championed the cause of the protesting property owners.

A survey by the Village Engineering Department showed that the hole, which is from twenty to thirty feet deep, encroached ten feet on Pershing Avenue. Charles J. Taylor of 640 Linwood Avenue one of the petitioners, raised the question that the company didnt have a legal right to be where they were and declared that if they didnt have it they were squatters and should be driven off. Factory Site Qoestioned Lawyer Grimley said that the property owners had brought up the question of the legality of the company having a cinder block factory in this particular district, which is in a residential zone. "It is all well and good, he said, to have an agreement to fill up a dangerous hole, which never should have been allowed to be there.

On top of this there is still the major part of this evil left this factory. Originally the factory started out to take sand out of a hole. This was some eighteen years ago. Later they started to make blocka out of cinders. Now they are bringing cinders for the making of cinder block into a residential section from Newark and elsewhere in early morning hours to the annoyance of the neighborhood and this is not right.

I understand these people have never had a permit to put up a building. It is trie that they have been very swell in cooperating to fill up this hole. Filling in the hole will get rid of the danger, but they have not gotten rid of the menace to the property owners "living in the vicinity. I think they would be happier if they would put their property in usable condition for the building of homes and move their factory to some other neighborhood where they would not be a detriment to the community. Christmas Club Savings Announced (Continued from Page One) crease of 18 over the preceding year when 800 members drew out $38,620 Citizens 1st National There has been an edge this yeat of $744 over last year's total of paid to Club members at the Citizens First National Bank and Trust Company, Ridgewood.

In both Instances ljBOO depositors were paid. The membership has been about the same for at least three years but the increase has been steady. In 1938 had been paid in by Christmas Club depositors. Glen Rock Bank The Olen Rock Bank reports that $24,487.50 was turned over to 525 members as against $22,364.50 to 486 in 1939. In 1938, with the membership the same as in '39, there was a smaller amount paid, sol the bank has witnessed a growing Interest in the Christmas Club in recent years.

D. pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Ridgewood This speaker called attention to benefits to be derived from liiim things which are not done for material gain and from the gathering at men for extra-hour activities.

He mid a mans life can be measured largely by the use he makes of hlslels-ar time. On such occasions they may gather at the places of inspiration to meet people of their town, for he stated it is not buildings but the people that make a community. He expressed the belief that an organl-mtion such ae the Elks does well to remember those who had passed on for in very real sense they are still with the living. The Elks ceremony for the dead waa then. held and was followed by a rendition of "There comes another tomorrow," Sibelius, sung by Myron eodrowsky.

Judge Irwin was then heard and in a half hours address impressed the audience with his toteresttng talk. Tenth Problem The speaker said he regarded the memorial day of the Elks an occasion ear which it was appropriate to eider come of the problems of the times, to the light of those who have pasted on. He devoted considerable time to discussing the youth problem and illustrated his points with his personal experiences a a judge before Whom many are tried. He said was not easy to be a judge but it gave On opportunity to observe the trend at thought so dangerous these days, as one youth bad eaid "the idea of God is a fetish to hold down tbs proletariat" which remark made him shudder ae he thought of the consequence. He recalled how hard II Is to send a young man to jail, te give him a criminal record, which he regarded ae worse than the crime Heelt.

He recalled the activity of an organization called Veterans of Future Wars, which he mgarded as a satire directed against Rkc Veterans of Foreign Wars. He raised the question as to who Is to Heme lot the fact that seventy-five per cent of the criminals are under twenty-three yean of age and he expressed the belief that it la the preceding generations that are always to 'The concluding part of the program consisted of a solo Gloria by Mr. McCrum, sounding of Taps by Roy Scouts, under the direction of Bcout Executive Thomas Macgowan and' the benediction by the Rev, Pajil L.

Fees 4 62 i i i iAv v' Fort Dix Visit It Described (Continued from Page One) the different unite of Dix and both of us were Impressed with the efficiency and the exoelient way in which the men were handled and treated. After all, from four to five hundred men have been streaming off the trains at the Dig aiding each day from such various and sundry places as Newark, Ridgewood, Ramsey, Albany, Syracuse, with little to no contact with military life. This could be quite a problem to cope with.

Yet no man had to wait for his food, and each man had a cot to sleep on the minute be got Into camp. Local Boys Tentmates Aaron Sisaman, who got into Dix late on Saturday night from Newark said that it was O. K. and that? he, Jeffer, and WolthOff were in the same tent. "Up to now, its been easy, Stss-man said Monday afternoon, we've been waiting for a clothes Issuance by sitting around on the bed in the tent ail-day yf Processing Rather than get bogged down by a maze of personal incidents, it might be just as well to set down in a few sentences what happens to the boys from the time that they alight from the train.

As good a group aa any to follow would be the Ridgewood six. Saturday morning, the boys left Ridgewood to go to Newark, where after a second physical examination, they were inducted Into selective training at the 113 Infantry Armory. On Saturday night, they left Newark and arrived In Fort Dix and apparently no action was taken with the boys on Sunday other than getting them settled. Monday afternoon, ths wheels started to roll and they were lined up In two rows and marched (and they looked rather sloppy In their civilian clothes) over to the building where they took a test comparable to an intelligence test such as the Binet. From hem they marched with their blue bags over their shoulders to the reception building where they were Interviewed by army men, who would combine the Interview and the test for classifying the men.

After classification ths men are placed where their abilities can be most effectively used. After the interview, the boys were started through the business of being processed vaccinated, civilian clothes exchanged for the khakis, etc. Thus, shirtless guys filed, one by one, past the medical examiners and lnoculato rs and thus they came to the corps of three men who took: clothing measurements and they really took them. Neck, chest, leg lengthl Amazingly the men looked pretty well fitted and only trousers once In a while looked a little long. Hie boys got their shirts, coats, pants, shoes, and long underwear.

In this connection, the shoes looked plenty rugged and the boys were throwing off oxfords for the higher and more rugged "clod-hoppers" which would give them ample protection from mud, south Jersey sand, and the winters snow, Ths man, having all his clothes went into the dressing room. A Negro would be changing, no doubt, next to some Westchester Ivy-Leaguer and nobody seemed to mind. To a man, they didnt seem to resent the crowd, the sweat, the smell of moth balls, and other characteristics of a man's dressing room. Leaving the room the boys waited till their whole group waa dressed and ready to go back to their tents and to their next chores. The processing must have taken, with the forty minute, Intelligence test, three hours.

Thus, ordinary Jon Does with checked coats, two toned shoes, were converted Into the uniformed army. If Ford can whip out airplanes along hls assembly line relatively as fast, Hitler's got a whale of a job ahead of him! Quarantine After the processing, the boys are quarantined In a particular section of camp for a period of two weeks. This Quarantine la done for many reasons. I suppose that it Is done primarily in case any of the new men bring in communicable diseases, which might not be apparent when they have their examinations. Also, this quarantine enables the boys to get the feeling pf discipline and army life In being restricted to just their own area of tents, mess halls and latrine.

After the two week periods, the draftees will be absorbed by some unit. The Ridgewood boys were in the 113th. Infantry, quarantine sector, and it might easily be that they will be absorbed by that group although there was some talk of transferring some of the Dix boys to other camps such as Totten after a certain time. Been all over the 25,000 acres of ground yesterday were soldiers drilling, running In formation, digging ditches, and doing miscellaneous chores. Food Looks Good Of the many things heard In objection to Dix, were complaints of food Our guide took us into two mess halls, which were filled with tables comparable to those used at the church picnic, and the whole place waa clean.

Monday night in the mess hall we visited, the boys were going to have beef hash, apple sauce, potatoes, bread, gravy, etc. It looked clean and good. The mess sergeants took particular delight in lifting the lids of the huge kettles and letting you peer with an attitude which as much as said: "See, no rabbits and no poison! Of the numerous people asked about food there were no complaints other than those you might hear in any college dormitory about the same old thing." Tents Warm Frequent have been charges against the tents and the resulting cold, I stepped into innumerable tents whicn were boarded up to the roof and which had stoves. Every tent visited wee warm and snug and not crowded because there seemed to be plenty of room for all six cots. Naturally, there Is no privacy but that wasn't and Isn't to oe expected.

Barracks are springing up like mushrooms all over and IH venture the opinion that the tents have a greater, over-all warmtn than the embroyonlc frame buildings Radburo Trust Company saw a Jump of $30,000 in Christmas Club deposits this year, although the membership has remained at 1,500 for the past two years. This year $75,000 was turned over to the depositors. Last years increase to 1,500 members a a 60 growth from 38 when checks were paid out totaling $32,000. Allendale 1st National The Allendale First National Bank listed 481 depositors for this year's receipt of $25,600. This is a growth from 376 in 1938 when the total distributed was $20,000.

It also exceeds last years membership by 58 and the total then paid is exceeded by $3,600. In Ramsey at the First National Bank there is a substantial Increase from $25,000 in 1939 to $28,000 in 1940. One hundred more members than in 39 zre involved in this transaction, or a total of 700. This Includes 200 more depositors than in 1938 when $23,000 was paid out. Wyckoff First National The Wyckoff First National Bank had 450 members in its Christmas Club this year and the total paid to them waa $23,000.

This amount is an increase of $5,300 over 1938 when the same number of depositors participated in the club service, although there were 500 in 1939 when $29,500 was. distributed. Forty voices, assisted by a special the "Hallelujah at the at 8 o'clock, under the direction Helen Mahler, soprano; Katherine which cant help but be drafty and cold In spote. There were stories about mud but none of the cote were on mud. There was mud outside but It has been and is equally muddy In Ridgewood, or any vicinity when It rains.

Vice KampsntT Regarding the matter of Tice, jrhich was reported to be rampant" at Fort Dix, I drove through the miles of roads surrounding the Fort, looking first of all for the trailers which were supposed to be lined up on the outskirts waiting to lure soldiers during their time off. I did see trailers: three of them. Two were owned by carpenters who were working on the new barracks just across the street. The third appeared, at least, to be the home of a private family. There was a stout, middle-aged woman hanging up some clothes behind ft, while a small boy played at her feet.

Not quite the picture of temptatlou one might have anticipated from the previous reports 1 As iar as tae beer palaces and drinking emporiums wtuca are said to have followed the soldiers, we saw a tew of mem. she reader is asked to bear to mind, however, that around the Fort are the towns which have stood there for years, and which undoubtedly had a few "joints" of their own belore the soldiers came along. The most noticeable Increase In business has been the opening of numerous tailoring establishments catering to army men, and several restaurants where the men can get a change from routine camp fare now ana then. Military authorities do not feel that the matter of morals Is being neglected In the Fort. There are religious services every Sunday for Protestant, Catholic and Jew.

There Is a recreation center which they plan to improve as tiihe goes on, but In which the men can see Saturday night a vaudeville show which has been approved by the officers In charge. Many of them have radloe in their tents, and they are permitted to see their families and friends on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Undoubtedly there are a few soldiers, some of them draftees, whose private lives would not bear too close inspection, but as press representative Lieutenant Bard explained, there are boys like that in every town, and they will be no worse in camp than elsewhere. By the same token, those boys who lead the average boys' life at home, will continue to do so to camp because that is their natural disposition, the officers say. On The Whole You might question conscription, war, and you might not like to think of quartering in a camp such as Dix.

However, If conscription Is here and camps are a natural consequence, one Is forced to admit that the life of men, by and large.

If- changes are to be made, and they should be made, a chance should be given to all the people to think about them and think things over.

President Stoughton read the edl torial to the Realtors. It is a fins editorial from the standpoint that It gives both sides of the argument," he said. As soon as the presiding officer had finished Frederick W. Hearne arose and said: That is an able article and something should be done by us about the situation. Anything thas affects real estate affects Realtors.

We have these Boning changes over night. We find buyers for properties and cannot make good because they are taken out of one zone and put in another zone. I would suggest that this Board appoint a committee to find out what is being done by the committee nameo by the Commissioners to make a study of the zoning ordinance and recommend changes to meet changing conditions. At present we do not know what they are doing." We should go on record," Eugene C. Bogert said, as making some kind of a protest, either through the press, or to the Commissioners against these quick over-night changes in zoning ordinances that have been long on the books." J.

Rudolph Kirsch said this problem of changes comes up every year and nobody can be certain what is going to be done next. President Stoughton said he thought it might be a good idea to have a committee. Eager For Action 6. 8. Walstrum suggested that the Commissioners be invited to attend the next meeting of the Board so that all hands might talk over the situation with them.

It is two years now since the Commissioners appointed their committee to recommend revisions and we have heard nothing from it. Some dozen years ago the Village Board passed an ordinance to widen East Ridgewood Avenue. There was to be a set-back of fourteen feet. That was fourteen years ago and nothing has been done. Since that time the Federal government vhas given us a post office there.

We still have jogs in the street. It seems to me that some of these things should be followed up when-they are started." About Gas Stations J. Roger Parmelee said that the Vine property was put in another zone without any opposition being offered Referring to application for a gas station In a business section in Godwin Avenue that was followed by an amendment to an existing ordinance changing the zone, he asked: How many other zones are there in Ridgewood where people don't want gas stations? I don't get any pleasure in gas stations, but still gas stations have a right to be put in where ordinances provide they have a right to go Where are they gomg to make changes next?" I feel as Gene Bogert does about this, Garret L. Nyland said. I thin we should have a committee to call on the Commissioners.

If they are going to revamp the zoning laws they should let the Realtors know something about It. Where is the next piece of property that is going to be affected. We may make a sale and then find out that the zone has been changed. It is up to us to find out why the committee to study zoning hasnt acted. What we Realtors feel and say about this question should, I believe, be a factor with the Village Board.

Then Mr. Bogert's motion to protest to the Commissioners against over night changes in the zoning ordinance waa carried. Do you wish to go any further than making a protest?" the president asked. Committee Named E. D.

Allabough, retiring president, then made a formal motion calling for the appointment of a committee of two to call upon the Commissioners and find out what it's all about and the motion was carried The comfnlttee named by the Commissioners two years ago to study zoning and report its recommendations for changes to meet changing conditions consisted of members of the Planning Board.

How Pupils Are Being Guided (Continued from Page One) the chief local induitriea ought to be developed, and school people fail to develop them largely because of the inability or failure of the district to provide the necessary funds. "In agricultural sections, a great deal of progress has been made in working out good agricultural courses. In strictly residential districts, the problem is not so simple.

There are few local outlets for people trained in a specific trade or skill. The people usually are not too permanent residents. Families move in and out with the changes in business. It becomes necessary to plan a program that will give the children the kinds of education that their parents, and they thecselves think they will need and want By the time a pupil reaches the tenth grade in the Senior High, in Riagewood, the selection of his courses of study becomes largely an Individual matter, he said, and he is permitted to ask for what he wants that may not be on the regular program. The only obligatory courses for all are English, United States history Problems in Democracy and Physical Training.

Early Analyses We begin giving children information about the various vocations in the seventh grade of the Junior High School and begin analyzing the pupils to find their aptitudes, abilities and aims in the eighth grade. This analysis is followed by individual and group conferences with both children and their parents for the purpose of trying to determine what each child and his parents want him to be prepared for. In order to plan a satisfactory high school course a definite purpose must be arrived at by the beginning of the ninth year in most cases. In Ridgewood we do not have ar.y vocational courses as such, but many of the courses do have large vocational values and are taken for strictly vocational purposes by some pupils. I have in mind now the various business subjects, 1.

e. bookkeeping, typewriting, stenography. Practically all of the other subjects have threefold purposes: cultural, preparatory for higher institutions and vocational. Mr. Somerville went on to show how this applied to the courses it mechanical drawing, printing, woodworking, auto mechanics, some students taking them for vocational purposes, and others for a different purpose.

Auto Machine Shop He told of the plan of the Board of Education to turn the old Sheffield bam adjoining the High School into a motor machine shop, where boys with little academic aptitude, who want to use their hands, can learn all about taking apart and putting together both automobile and airplane engines. There will be provided two of the former and three of the latter types of engines. This program calls for an expenditure of $2,500 which is not in the budget, but the Board hopes to put it in the one to be voted on at the February school election. A part of this appropriation would go to the shop where training work is given. The course in clothing and sewing for girls has a high vocational or avocational value, he said, and many girls learn to make clothing for themselves or for others.

During the discussion period that followed the talk, Mr. Somerville emphasized the fact that the school authorities "never advise on purely general terms. We try to find out what people want to do and advise them as to where to go to get what they want We discourage going to college, Just for the sake of going to college." It is the policy of the local Board, he eaid, to send to a vocational training school those pupils who show definite aptitude for that kind of training. At present there are three such pupils in the Paterson Vocational School, their tuition, which amounts to $208 a year, being paid by the Board. Realtors Elect New Officers (Continued from Page One) election was an assurance to him that he had the good will of his competitors.

which was most pleasing to him. "One of the greatest assets our business has, h3 said, "is the appeal that it has to the people, who oome from out of town. The same thing can be said of our territory. It can be recommended froithe environment standpoint. S.

William Walstrum gave a highly interesting report of the high lights of the recent of the National Association of Real Estate Boards at Philadelphia.
