S. Jawt The Public Forum The County Line Chess Interest Growing By JACK SHAFER This months visit of the Chinese ping-pong players to America has bumped out to vote. Anyone who takes this attitude always runs the serious risk of allowing a small group of voters to dictate his or her government for the coming years. To continue good government for the village of Ridgewood, we urge that all registered voters go to the polls and support A1 Hadinger. Vote line 3 on May 9.

GLEN AND MARIAN ABPLANALP Ridgewood leadership and willingness to examine all viewports and move to sound action. His long residency in Ridgewood and wide involvement in community and county activities as an individual and a Bergen businessman make his re-election vital to all of us. His credentials and experience will give us an effective voice in Hackensack and Trenton during the years ahead when new financing and zoning legislation and administration will require a village spokesman of Herb Bennetts stature. GRAHAM O. HARRISON Ridgewood Visit Palls Dear Editor: Only a short time ago our village was deeply involved in a highly contested election for the Board of Education.

It was a spirited campaign and left the participants in a relatively exhausted state. Now we are faced with another election where three incumbents and a fourth candidate are seeking the three vacancies on the Village Council. It has been a fairly correct observation of political pundits that voters turn out to vote against conditions or candidates. Rarely is there great enthusiasm at the polls to show approval of what has been done. We are concerned that the fine record in office of A1 Hadinger and his fellow incumbents may.

lead a quiet confidence that all is well so why turn Sound Action Dear Editor: On May 9 Ridgewood voters will elect three council members to set policy for our very able village manager and his staff. In a complex period of transition from commission-form government, Mayor Herbert Bennett has won widespread respect for his thoughtful, calm Sincere Desire Dear Editor: Alfred A. Hadinger has proven himself a capable and efficient councilman. His analytical approach to problems, ability to work well with others and most of all, his sincere desire to serve have earned him our vote. We urge you to join us May 9 and re-elect A1 Hadinger.

MARLEIGH and WALTER SIEBECKER Ridgewood Chess was quite a popular pastime in Colonial-day Bergen when people had more leisure on their hands and no boob tube on their minds. A 19th century Ber-genite named John Boden wrote a history of the game that ran into more refutation than a McGraw-Hill project. Boden claimed that Egypts King Tutankhamen had invented chess, but critics demonstrated that it was some other type of board-piece game Tut created (Faro?) and that chess really originated in India around 500 A.D. It then began a slow-march conquest of the thinking mans world through Persia, Arabia, Spain, France, England, and over to America with the early Colonists. The Bergen Dutch adopted chess immediately but the Bay Colony Puritans later rejected it as a pastime of vanity, a diversion that would draw men from the contemplation of God and the fulfillment of mans proper work.

Bergenites wisely didnt let such criticism bother them their enjoyment of the game. The progressive Bergen area of today should be a natural for chess. Success at the game is said to be 100 percent divorced from luck or chance and entirely dependent on intellectual skill, objective thinking and the ability to look ahead clearly and see the ultimate effect of present and future actions. If thats so, lets make the game must training for all our politicians, whether theyre involved with the Mahwah boondocks, the Meadowland marshes, or the miasma in Famous Bergen Youth Anniversaries. April 1, 1970 Arch Immedees, Bergen whiz kid, announced his mathematical discovery that parents are the sum of the squares of two sides of the family.

April 1, 1971 Bergen Hippie Cult said it wishes it could kick everyone responsible for youths problems but is afraid it wouldnt be able to sit down for a month.

But theres also a Bergen youth interest upbeat in the most stationary, action-riveted game of all time chess! Some area libraries report a sudden rush by youngsters on the chess bookshelves, which ordinarily gather much dust (and even some moss) in the outdoor-weather season.

Chess group participation has increased at many high schools (especially on the spear side) and chess club membership is growing among young Bergen adult males, as well. If we must find a reason for the rise, the paperbacks on psychology claim that chess is a great escape from the annoyances and frustrations of life Barry Goldwater has sent his best wishes to Bobby Fischer on Fischers forthcoming try at whupping the Russian chess champs this summer Philosophic societies predict a strong 1972 tide of youthful interest in mans intellectual ac-tivties, particularly in areas of high educational level, high income, and high sensitivities (are they playing Bergens So take your pick among these explanations.

Ridgewood is indeed- fortunate in having a reservoir of such men who combine desire and capability to provide the kind of home town atmosphere and flavor that brought most of us to the village. As we admit to our reliance on men like Ralph Ferro, we must also commit (Turn To Page 49, Col.
