At the meeting of the Waldwick Borough Council last Thursday night, a unanimous approval was given to an ordinance designed to re­zone the borough completely to include four residential and one business as well as one industrial areas.

However, an amendment pro­posed by Councilman zoning the residential area at the intersection of Wyckoff and Crescent Avenues, for business was defeated by a vote of 3 to 2. Democratic Councilmen voted for the proposal, while three Republican Councilmen Milton Minto, Robert Emerson, and Charles Guernsey opposed 'th e measure.

A debate as to the value of the proposal lasted for hours with a large group of residents from the area participating.

An attorney representing a resi­dent said the master plan drawn up a year ago provided the possibility of the four corners being a business area. There was no reason for the Council to change the master plan, he said.

More than a dozen residents rose to speak against the proposal, and all vigorously declared their dis­satisfaction with it. One resident s|id he bought his home irj the western part of town because he knew it was a residential area. "I am .satisfied with the present shop­ping center,” he said.

Another rose and declared that

any amount of increase in land granted to business would mean their eventual encroachment into the residential area.

A petition signed by over 200 residents in the area was brought in by a man having a business there. These people were said to be in fav­or of the amendment. A number of those present rose to question the validity of the petition. However, a careful check by the Council count­ed over 200 of the signatures to be dwellers in the western part of the borough.. The residential areas are divided into four sections, they are:

homes with a 130 foot

homes with a 100 foot

Area 1 frontage.

Area 2 frontage.

Area 3 homes with a 75 foot frontage having 7,500 square-foot plots, and

Area 4 are h°mes with a 75 foot frontage having 5,000 square-foot plots.Business and industrial areas— in the southeastern and northwest­ern part of the town respectively—- border on Franklin Turnpike.

It was learned yesterday that the members of the Board of directors of the Valley Hospital of Ridgewood are contemplating to close a floor due to lack of nurses.

Hospital Administrator William Worcester said.

He explained that "we were for­ced to close 14 more beds in the adult and pediatric units last Mon­day because of the lack of graduate nurses” . This followed the closing of a 12-bed maternity wing on the second floor more than a month ago, he added.

The shortage of trained nurses has caused patients with non-acute ali­ments to wait four to six weeks for admission to the hospital, Worces­ter said.

"Generally, we’ve had to trim various units, double-up others and limit admissions,” he declared.

In the hospital's one remaining maternity section, there no longer are private rooms. Two private mat­ernity rooms have been doubled up, and additional bed has been moved into the four-bed ward, and four beds have been placed in the sola­rium.

Worcester declared that the hos­

pital has "lost 18 nurses within the last six to eight weeks.” These were essentially seasonal drop-outs, at­tributable to marriages, pregnacy and nurses who had to return home to care for their children during the summer vacation from school.

A few nurses also left for better paying jobs, Worcester said. The lure of better salaries for nurses in industry, doctors’ offices and vete­rans hospitals has been the chief source of difficulty for attracting nurses to Valley Hospital. The pro­blem has been the same all over the East, especially for community hospitals, Worcester said.

In the Bergen County area, train­ed nurses have particularly sought jobs in New York hospitals, where salaries have been higher. To draw nurses to Valley, Worcester said that nurses are now given a $25 a month across-the-board raise to boost the starting salary from $260 to $285 a month.

T H E B AC K G R O U N D O F N E G R O C IV IL R IG H T S

The debate on civil rights legisla­tion currently being carried on in the U. S. Senate has once again foc­used headline attention on the,,prob- lems and the progress of Negroes in the United States. Actually, the pas­sage of laws designed primarily to secure for the American Negro the rights to which he is entitled has been a continuing story since the end of the Civil W ar of 1861-65.

This story is a complex one, be­ginning with the history of Negro life in this country. And it is only against this background that one can begin to understand the situa­tion which— according to the Eisen­hower administration and many law-makers of both political parties -—makes new civil rights legislation necessary.

When in the year 1619 the first cargo of African Negroes arrived at the port of Jamestown in the British colony of Virginia, the insti­tution of slavery had its beginning in what was much later to become continental United States. At that time slavery was widespread in many parts of the globe, having been maintained, in one place or another, since the dawn of history.

Thereafter the slave trad^ flour­ished, for the colonial plantation owners of the South required cheap labor to tend the two most impor­tant crops in their thriving agricul­ture— tobacco and cotton But even during the colonial period, which ended with the American Revolu­tion, many enlightened men relent­lessly opposed the enslavement of human beings.

Indeed, even though slavery was firmly established, the founders of the American republic asserted in 1776 that "all men are created equal.” And one of the greatest of

the founding fathers, Thomas Jef­ferson, a Virginian himself, de­clared that "the whole commerce between slave and master is a per­petual exercise of . . . the most un­remitting despotism on the one part and degrading submissions on the other.”

’Inspired by men like Jefferson, anti-slavery sentiment grew, especi­ally in the North, and in 1787 a resolution of the Continental Con­gress prohibited the further impor­tation of slaves after a 20-year per­iod. In 1808, the slave trade was forbidden by law. And 12 years later, the now-illegal importation of slaves was made a capital offense, but in the South some slaves were still smuggled ashore.

In 1863, in the midst of the Civil War whose central issue was slav­ery, the Emancipation Proclamation signaled the freeing of the slaves. A few years later, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution defined citizenship rights for the nation, including the recently freed Negroes, and de­clared the right of every citizen to vote regardless of "race, color or previous condition of servitude.”

Enormous strides toward this goal — and in social and econmic life as well — have already been achieved. The nation’s Negro pop­ulation of more than 17,000,000 is encouraged to progress economical­ly by anti-discrimination laws in 15 states and more than twice as many cities. Federal laws, rigorously ob­served, prohibit any kind of racial discrimination in government em­ployment or in industries working on government contracts.

But there remain large stretches of the old South where these gener­alizations do not yet apply. And one of the aims of civil rights legisla­tion is to make them come true for all Americans, regardless of skin color.

LVET GLCC. M c A fe e

IVESIT WAS a warm April night, but

Edna Porter shivered as her moist hands clutched the steering wheel, and her small car tore along the boulevard out of town. “ Please, God—let me reach them in time!’ ’ she prayed.

What would she tell a policeman If he did stop her, she wondered. Could she say, “ Officer, my teen­age daughter is eloping and I must stop her—only I don’t want her to know I’m stopping her?’ ’

Thank heaven, John was in Chi­cago at a sales convention. He’d have called the police and descend­ed upon the kids wiffi sirens blast­ing and temper boiling This was one family crisis Edna would handle in her own way, hoping she was right. John never approved of what he called her “ velvet glove policy.” He preferred to rule his daughter with an iron hand. Penny, however, had her father’s Irish temper and fought his dis­cipline, tooth and nail.

Screeching to a halt at a red light, Edna rubbed her throbbing temples and tried to collect her wits. A billboard clock said she’d been on the road a brief ten min­utes, but it seemed hours since the mysterious phone call had sent her dashing out of the house.

"Mrs. Porter?” an unknown, but vaguely familiar male voice had said. “ I’m calling from Cook’ s Corral. Your daughter’s here with

' a young man, and I just overheard them planning to get married to­night in Bordertown.

Fifteen minutes later, Edna turned into the familiar gravel drive of Cook’s Corral.

She saw them at once, sitting in a booth near the back of the long room.

“ How did you know?” Penny de­manded, green eyes snapping. Ray struggled to his feet, looking sheepish.

“ Know what, dear?" asked Edna, sitting beside her.

“ Don’t pretend,” said Penny. “ But, darling—1 didn't know!”

lied Edna, trying to look aston­

ished. “ I just got lonesome and went for a drive, then decided to drop in here for a snack.

Ray’ s mouth fell open and he stared from her to Penny.

“ Okay!” flared Penny, “ I know when Pm licked. You don’t have to get sarcastic about it.”

Edna ignored her as the wait­ress approached. “ Three large hamburgers with chocolate malts,” she ordered cheerfully. Turning to Penny, she said, “ Now, look, dear—let’s be practical. I am not getting sarcastic at all. In fact, I was just thinking—if you prefer to get married this way, it may please even your father. We can use the money now to pay off the mortgage.”

“ Money? What money?” asked Penny in a daze.

Edna patted her hand and laughed. “ Have you forgotten? When you were just a little girl, we took you to your Cousin Edie’ s big wedding, and you were so im­pressed that you made us solemn­ly swear that you could have a wedding just like it when you mar­ried. We’ve been saving for it ever since!”

Penny looked dubious but in­terested. “ Y-you mean Father would spend all that money on m e?” she asked incredulously.

“ Of course, dear,” she said, striving for calmness. “ But if you’d be happier doing it your own way, well . . .”

“ Golly!” breathed Penny, now totally enchanted. She reached across the table and touched Ray's arm. “ Ray, dear—would you be terribly hurt if—if we didn’t get married tonight?”

Ray’s tanned face broke into a wide grin. "Anything you say. Penny. It's okay with me.”

Penny squeezed his big hand. "Isn’ t he a darling?” she asked

"He certainly is !” agreed Edna. She meant It with all her heart, because, while listening to Ray’s voice, she suddenly knew who made the phone call that had brought her flying to the rescue.

AN AURA of foreboding hangs • over Washington, the Feder­

al City. The annual influx of visi­tors and tourists, particularly the thousands of school children who flock to the city just before the summer vacation, take the sight­seeing tours and see the world’s most beautiful city . . . snow white, classic government build­ings, historic shrines, wide, clean tree-lined streets, beautiful parks, rank with flowers and blooming shrubs, a kaleidoscope of color.

Thousands of convention visitors —for Washington is today one of the leading convention cities—vis­it the Halls of Congress, romance over the beautiful embassies and churches of all the denominations of the world—the great Cathedrals and institutions of learning; the museums and art galleries, the maelstrom of people from every nation and clime; hotels are full, streets are full, traffic is terrific . . . all visitors.

These people don’ t see the real Washington, the Citizens who live here, have their homes and fam­ilies here, pay taxes, pay the high est prices, go to and from work here, go to school here; they don’t see the slums, the blighted areas, the areas that are slowly but ir­revocably becoming new slums— they don’t hear the mutterings, the open rebellion, the clash of opinions; they don’t see the schools, vandalized, but integrated; they don’ t read the reports of health-center clinics that there have been 190 pregnancies among teen-age girls from Sept. 1956 to April 1957; that 178 are among negro girls, 12 among white and that 129 of these were in junior high schools, 53 in high schools,

and 8 in elementary schools.They don’t see the worried looks

of home-owners as thousands choose to sell their homes at bar­gain prices and move to the sub­urbs; the value of property in these neighborhoods invariably goes down and soon will be reflected in the tax duplicates; they don’t see the harassed City Commis­sioners, plagued by losses in tax revenues and at the same time the encroachments of the Feder­al government for more serv­ices, building more buildings, tak­ing more property from the tax rolls for which there is not ade­quate compensation in appropri­ations from the Congress.

For Washington is a city where civil rights, about which there is such a hullabaloo in the Congress today, are unknown. It is a city of “ taxation without representa­tion,” wholly at the mercy of a transient Congress. Taxpayers can’t vote here.

With population of the city prop­er, in the district of Columbia now crowding the million mark, the metropolitan area including the adjacent communities in Virginia and Maryland over 1,500,000, and still growing. Sincere efforts to eradicate slum areas under the Urban Renewal Federal program are hamstrung by Congress and a multiple of governing bodies over which the Board of Commissioners have no control; Citizens watch other areas day-by-day irrevoca­bly becoming more slum areas. But all a visitor has to do is drive out 13th street in Washington to see it happening. For Sale signs litter the once fashionable 16th St. and it will not be long until the same pattern will show up there.

Today’s Problem: Unfair Criticism

HERE is the way late Dale Car­negie once met drastic criti­

cism of him and his work. When a man receives as much acclaim as once he did and had a book, the sales of which outnumbered every book of non-fiction except the Holy Bible, there was bound to be some who would scoff and scorn and try to belittle his efforts.

Wrote one critic, “ What is there so wonderful about your book, ’How to Win Friends and Influence People’ ? There is nothing original in it; everything in it has been copied from some other writer or lecturer.”

Said Mr. Carnegie in reply:“ My dear Mr. Blank:

"Thank you for your letter.In replying, I want to admit that you are absolutely right in your summing up of my latest book which you mention.

“ I only hope you have bene- fitted as much by the sayings of these wise and learned men as I have."What happened next? That very

same critic wrote Mr. Carnegie again enumerating the passages in the book which he said had literal­ly transformed his life, and he j closed his letter by asking God’s blessings on Mr. Carnegie for the wonderful help he was giving to others.

FROM THE GARDEN STATENew Jersey has been famous for

many years for excellent crops of white or Irish potatoes.

Favorable soil, proper fertilization, improved certified seed, frequent irri­gation, control of insects and disease, plus the skill of the growers . . . all of these factors . . . account for high yields and top quality.

The Garden State is an important source of potatoes for many areas in the country during the summer sea­son. Last year, shipments were made to 29 states.

Next time you are shopping for fruits and vegetables for your fam­ily, ask the grocer: “Are they from Jersey?” Help yourself to the riches of the Garden State.

THIS WEEK IN AMERICAN HISTORY

On August 17, 1807 — ijg years ago — the steamboat CLER. M ON T (populary known at the time as "Fulton’s Folly") sailed up the Hudson River bound for A l­bany, New York, thus inaugurating the first regular steamboat voyage in the United States. The time for the round trip was 62 hours. As early as 1793, Robert Fulton had turned his attention to steam navigation. Ten years later, with the financial assistance of Robert R. Livingston, American minister to France, Ful­ton launched a steamboat on the Seine. It sank immediately. Another boat was built, which though it did not sink, did not attain any great speed. Fulton then ordered a steam engine to be sent to the United States from England. This was in­stalled in the CLERM ONT which had meanwhile been built in a ship­yard on the East River in the Spring of 1807. After its successful initial voyage, the CLERM O N T operated as a packet boat between New York and Albany, under a thirty year monopoly of the river granted Ful­ton and Livingston by the state leg­islature.

On August 18, 1587 — 370 years ago — Virginia Dare was born at Roanoke and named after the colony of Virginia. She was the first child of English parentage born in America. Her grandfather was John W hite who had been sent out by Sir W alter Raleigh to estab­lish an agricultural colony. Her father was one of W hite’s assist­ants. Virginia was born about a month after the colonists arrived. W hite went back to England and when he returned to Virginia three years later no trace of the colonists at Roanoke could be found. The disappearance of these English col­onists — 89 men, 17 women and two children — is one of the mys­teries of early American history, al-

IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION

Q U ESTIO N : One of my neigh­bors told me of the case of a Hun­garian refugee who came over last January and who now says he wants to return to Hungary. W e do not know his reason, but are very dis­turbed. Is there anything that can b« done?

A N SW ER : Yes. If you can find out which social agency sponsored this man for his trip to the United States, you should either persuade him to get in touch with the agency, or call the attention of the agency to the case. It is possible that the man does not have a satisfactory job or is having trouble getting accus­tomed to the ways of this country, but that with a little help he could make the necessary adjustments.

PRAYER PAYS OFF ON W A LL S TR E E TFaith in God can affect you fi­

nancially. The Bible states that the love of money is the root of all evil—not money in itself. Money is neither good nor bad. Its morality is determined by what we do with it.

God wants our souls to be en­riched and blessed. He wishes us physical prosperity also be­cause 3 John 2 states: "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” There are hundreds of people who are reaping the benefits of real partnership with God.

Here is the testimony of a fi­nancial advisor of national prom­inence whose firm is located on Wall Street, N. Y. City. His or­ganization has been paid more than $17,000,000 just for advice alone. As a youth, he attended Harding College, Searcy, Ark., a school controlled by the Church of Christ. He was in­spired by its president, James W. Harding, who took practical­ly all of his daily problems to God in prayer and taught his students to do likewise.

Consider the answer that this man received to his prayer:

“It was the most important business deal of my life—more than a million dollars was at stake. But everything went wrong. I couldn’t figure it out. It seems someone in the organi­zation was double-crossing us, but who? We puzzled over it exceedingly, until one morning my wife said, ‘This is ,'beyond

our power—let’s take it to God in prayer.’ We did—right then and there!

"That very morning I decided to see one of my best friends, an attorney not represented in our deal, but with whom I had discussed it several times. I trusted him completely and wanted his advice. I called his telephone number. His firm had 48 extension phones. The opera­tor, by mistake, put me on a busy line. Imagine my utter sur­prise when I heard him laugh­ing with the leader of our com­petitors over their success in outwitting me and my clients. Having learned where the leak was, I was able to solve my problem. Do you think it was an accident that the operator put me on his busy line; on the vital one of the 48 extensions at ex­actly the right moment? NO! It was God answering my prayer. I secured exactly the informa­tion I needed at my most des­perate hour.”

One might explain this as a coincidence, or luck, or provi­dence. Let’s just call it God. It’s this kind of coinrldenee that has a habit of occurring for me and thousands of other people because we believe in a God who answers prayer.

Dare to have faith in God. You will find he will give you more than you have; make you more than you are! Jesus came to bring us abundant life, physical­ly, mentally, spiritually, and fi­nancially.

PART OF EVERY AM ERICAN’S SAVINGS BELONGS IN u. s. SAVINGS BONDS

Candlelight gleams on white satin rib­bon. And only the way the bride’s bou­quet trembles . . . only the way the groom nervously straightens his tie . . . tells the secret of the butterflies flutter­ing in their hearts as they start out on one of life’s greatest adventures.

Whether or not the young couple lives happily ever after usually de­pends on how successfully they meet and share the problems of everyday living. And not the least of these prob­lems is financial. A family’s sound financial standing depends as much upon a woman’s ability to manage money as it does her husband’s ability to make it. And a family savings pro­gram is as much the wife’s responsi­bility as it is her husband’s.

Many young couples today are work­ing towards financial security by invest­ing regularly in U. S. Series E Savings Bonds on the Payroll Savings Plan. It’s one of the easiest ways to save— and one of the safest.

Now Savings Bonds are better than ever!

Every Series E Savings Bond purchased since February 1, 1957, pays 3%7<> interest when held to maturity. It pays higher interest, too, in the earlier years, and matures in only 8 years and 11 months. Now, more than ever, i t s smart to save with guaranteed-safe U. S. Savings Bonds. Buy them regu­larly where you bank or through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work.

“ NERVE CENTER” FOR 400 NEW JERSEY TRAIN S“ Right now, there’s a freight train moving out of Newark, loaded with everything from automobiles to rosebushes, from soup to summer suits,” says Joe Einstein, one of your New Jersey neighbors who is a railroad power control operator.

“ Seconds ago I pulled a switch on my control board here—and made the power available for that train to get going. Now it’s on its way with countless products needed—or made—by New Jersey people. The figures show that New Jersey railroads deliver about a million tons of goods a day.”

In a way, that intricate chart up there behind Joe is symbolic. If you could draw a diagram of the varied ways in which New Jersey's railroads and New Jersey’s economy are interconnected, it would look just as complex and maze-like. 4

Truthfully, it would be next to impossible to find an enterprise or a person in New Jersey whose economic well-being is not aided by the railroads. New Jersey’s farms, factories and businesses rely on the railroads to transport and deliver their raw materials, products and merchandise. New Jersey citizens—150,000 of them daily—depend on the railroads for business and pleasure travel.

And 34,000 New Jersey men and women hold railroad jobs, drawing $147,000,000 in pay annually—most of which is spent in New Jersey.

In the future, your railroads hope to contribute even more greatly to New Jersey’s prosperity. Unfortunately, many plans are being held back by a crushing tax burden—imposed by an antiquated tax system. Your railroads want to pay their fair share of taxes. But today, New Jersey’s railroad taxes are disproportionately high.

Ironically, these taxes that are placing such a staggering load on your railroads—and thereby jeopardizing the economic progress of New Jersey—actually amount to only a tiny percentage of the State’s total tax revenues. That’s why many of New Jersey’s leading citizens are saying that modern tax reform is needed—tax reform that will strengthen both New Jersey and its railroads.
