RABIES SYMPTOMS ARE DESCRIBED BY HEALTH
OFFICER W. REYNOLDS W. F. Reynolds, Healt'h Officer Rabies, or hydrophobia, is an in
fE-ctiou s disease which is now rarely seen in human beings, although it frequently occurs in dogs an([ cds. It is caused by a filterabl(! virus which is found in the centra l r.Hvous system and in the sal' va of affected dogs and cats, and !s irtroduced into the human body by means of wounds made with the teeth of rabid animals·. The incu,bation period of the clisease is extremely variable, but in human 'beings it is from two weeks to six months. ·
The symptoms of the sickness in ht:man beings are suasms and co!lvulsions beginning in the muscles of swallowing. After the disease has developed, it always ends in th~:. death of the patient.
Rabies is a common d!sease vf degs in some parts of the United States, and any health officer may seddenly be called to deal with an

UNEMPLOYMENT PROGRAM COST $63,919.63; TOWN

ment was $41,023.76, of which the state pays $11,030.04, leaving the ccst to the township $29,993.72.
Unemployment work done in other aepartments brings the total spent in Teaneck's unemplo_yment relief program from Dec. 31, 1931, to August 1, 1932, up to $63,919,-63 of which the s·tate has paid or will pay $21,495.13.
The statement in the report that in seven months the sum of $8,500 har been expended in direct enierger.cy relief, together with figures showing the number of men anol women registered as unemployed, indicate that exisiting conditiOns present a serious problem for the officials and citizens of Teaneck for the coming winter and undoubtedly will serve to stimulate public support of all entertainments anrl activities devised with the ~bject of raising funds for emergency relief.
Following is the full text of Mr. Volcker's report, to which he attached the tables of statistics an·.·I figures that appear herewith:
August 12th, 1932. Mayor and Township Council,
Teaneck, N.J. Gentlemen:
I have pleasure in submitting herewith a statistical report on Teaneck's unemployment program which was concluded in its first phase on AuguRt 1st. You will note that a total of $63,919.63 was spent ~n this work. The primary work was in connection with the Teaneck High School athletic field and tenrtis courts which cost a total of $41,023.60. Reference to the table shows that of this total amount $22,352.45 was for labor and the balance for trucks, material an•l tools. We have received or will receive a total reimbursement of $11,030.04 so that the net cost to thP Township of the stadium work is $29,993.72. After the State reimbursement has been applied throughout, the total cost to the Township of work done up to Augcst 1st is $42,105.69. The accompanying sheets I think are sufficient in detail to give you the information which you need and desire. Any further cos•ts or details can be readily obtained; since I am glacl to say that our records are in scch shape that we can trace the expenditure of every dollar.
This report does not cover the direct relief work which is still continued. It is my hope and my plan to submit to you a detailed report

on this in the near future. Meanwhile, I might say that up to date we spent approximately _$8,500 in direct relief. Since August 1st there have been food orders given at the ;r;ate of approximately 100 a week, for all of which a return hail been made to the Township in labor.
The total spent in the adminish2tion of the work you will note is just about 5 percent and all of this went to persons who are on the unemployment list. It also includes payments made for clerical work done for the Welfare Committee anci for the District Director's office. A number of Township officials naturally gave considerable time and energy toward the relief \Vork without receiving extra compensation therefor. Of course such compensations was not expected or requested.
I take particular pleasure in the fact that so much of the work done waf' constructive in its nature, there being a minimum of the kind of work generally done under unemployment programs just to keep the men busy, the effects of wnich are soon dissipated.
The unemployed at present are finishing some grading around th,~ High School and have begun clearing up around Township property, such as the highway yard, disposal plants, etc.
A great deal of credit in this unemployment work should be given to the West Englewood National Bank who, by taking the Township's notes therefore, made the wcrk fundamentally possible.

It seems certain that within the next month the Township Man-2J:!er's report to the Council and Taxpayers will be iss·ued. This report is overdue but several factors llsve conspired to delay its appearance. Among these were the fact that Township Manager Volcker has been kept exceedingly busy in thE· operation of the township ant! that his work was certainly by no means decreased by the additional load placed on his office by the reqdrements of unemployment relief.
Secondly, the Township Manager has rendered reports of his activity through the medium of the press ancl this publication.
Thirdly, and this perhaps is the most important reason, the manaver has felt that an up-to-date :::nd intellig·ent report could not be issued until such a time ·as the 1932 audit is completed.
After all, the finances are the l:eart of a municipality, and no rerort on the status of the health of any municipal body corporate would be complete without a report on its heart action. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllfiiUJIHIIIIIIIIo

PAVING OF NEWBRIDGE ROAD BRINGS TEANECK
FIRST STATE MONEY For the first time in its history,
at least as far as records can be found, Teaneck Township will receive money from the State in the form of State Aid for township roads.
While other municipalities in the county have from time to time received great sums of this money, one as much as $83,000 within the last twelv.e years, for some reason Teaneck Township has never availet! itself of this fund. While the present amount is not large, :>mounting in all to only $4,500, yet it is· hoped that this will be only the beginning, and that in the future the Township will receive a j1;st and proportionate share of state money so available.
The section of Springfield Avenue and Newbridge Road which is to be improved extends from Rive,r Road easterly to the Bergenfield Borough Line, whence Bergenfield is carrying the improvement· on through to Teaneck Road.
The original application called for improvement of the old alignment of Newbridge Road. HoweYer, the County Road Department preferred to approve the straight line made by Springfield Avenue, and durin.z the winter put unemployed to work preparing the grade, so that all that remains to be done now is to pl;;ce the hard surface.
A total of $6,000.00 is available for this work and the actual cost, which will not exceed this amount, will be paid in _proportion of threefourths by the State and one-fourth by the County. Under the StatP Acts providing for township aid, tht> township must prepare the plans, have them approved by the State Highway Department ~llld aware! the contract. This the Tc,wnship of Teaneck recently did .
1932 AUDIT COMPLETED; SEE REDUCED COSTS
The audit of 1932 accounts by th('> Department of Municipal AcC'lunts and Finances has been completed, and the data which the AucEtors have compiled is now being wxitten up in the Trenton Offices of the Commission.
While figures· as to the cost thereof are at the present unavailnhle, it is confidently expected that statements made by the Council h.st year will be borne out. These statements were to the effect that over a period of three or four years the· total cost of the thorough audits being made by the State Department would be less than the previous cost of the audits for a like number of years.
A great deal of the tabular, . pos-ting and transcribing- work in connection with the 1932 audit was done by unemployed, so that .the State Department found it necessary to have but one man here most of the time, except ' for sev(·lal weeks at the end of the audit when three and four state auditors worked at it.
TWP. TREASURER'S REPORT
Following is Township Treasurer R. J. Pearson's Statement of Teaneck finances· as of date of July 31, 1932, with a statement of tax • arrear ages:
(Continued) r:ffected animal. The disease may be suspected when a dog or cat is :::ick and shows unusual irritability. A rabid dog or cat is likely to attack other animals that approach it.. If a dog or cat shows suspici-0Uf' symptoms, confine it in a quiet place where it cannot bite another animal or person. If it has rabie~, ii will die within a few days. If it recovers, it has not had rabies.
If an animal dies or is killed, em nff the head, preserve it on ice, and S(;nd it to a laboratory for an examination of the brain in order to make the diagnosis certain.
A diagnosis of rabies may be made by finding Negri bodies in the brain celh A small piece ni' gray matter is crushed upon a micrc~opic slide and stained. The Negri bodies appear as spheres approximately the size of red bloocl cells located in the nerve cells. If !3llspicious bodies are seen, animal iJ:oculation test with btain tissr•e will produce the disease when the 2nimal has rabies.
The nature of the Nevri bodiP. s ~re in doubt. They , may be the specific organisms of the disease, or bodies produced by a poisoning o:' the nerve cells. Preventative in-oculation<; consist of the subcutaneous injection of the virus· of n:bies from a rabbit into a human being which produces an immunity wllif'h lasts for a few month<;.
The injections are used in order t0 prevent the develonment of ra-bies in a person who has- been bit.ten by a rabid dog. Thev constitute \vhat is known as the Pasteur pre·· vcnt.ive treatment.

tf!Ur members of the Garden Club of Teaneck only, and others, as noted, are for non-members. In nonmember and open-to-all classes exhibits will be restricted to amateur growers.
"An amateur member is· one who dces his own garden work except original soil preparation, and doef: not sell commercially .
"More than one entry permitted, unless otherwise specified.
"While not mandatory, it is desirable that the names of varieties be shown on small tags which may be obtained from the committee.
"All flowers and foliage used :rr.lAst be grown by the exhibitor, unless otherwise specified. Flowers rr.ust be arranged by exhibitors.
"The show committee will provide vases, but exhibitors may usc their own receptables. Except in artistic arrangement classes·, recf:ptables will have no bearing in jt:dging of exhibits. The scale of points as adopted by the Federatior. will prevail in judging exhibits. Decisions of the judges shall b£ final.
"The exhibition hall will be open for the arrangement of exhibits on S:o~turday morning, Sept. 17th, at 9 a. m: and all exhibits must be sta;;ed by 2:30 p. m., at which time the judging will commence. No person will be permitted in the };all during time of judging.

SLAVERY DAYS TO BE PORTRAYED IN REVIVAL OF "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN"
(Continued) J:.ave been presented under his dil'ection.
Already many Teaneck citizens, informed of the event, are looking fcrward· to seeing old Uncle Tom, poor little Eva, Eliza, the cruel Sin.on Legree and Topsy, who "jest g-rowed up", as well as the blood h<'unds in full chase across the ice floes, when this historic drama is put on at the high school.
Every pain will be taken to make this event as colorful and never-to-be-forgotten as possible. A dozen or more girls, in blackface, and costumed as darkies of the plantation, will hand out programs.
Between the acts, true to the traditions of play as presented three generations ago, there will be an "olio" of vaudeville acts, as carefully faithful to the days of ycre, in spirit and technique, as thf· play itself.
And by the way, 1932 marks the eightieth anniversary of the first p1esentation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin". so the event at the high school will have historic significance, and will serve at the same time as an object lesson in one of the critical periods of American history.
BUILDING IN TEANECK HOLDS SATISFACTORILY
Comparative figures show that new construction in Teaneck is holding its own relatively. For the past several years the Township rating has varied from thir:l to sixth among New Jersey municipalities. Its· July rating was fifth among the reporting cities. Even at that it was only $700.00 oehind the next highest city, Jersey City.
A survey of the August permits so far issued shows that well along towards the end of August, permits fo1 a total amount of only $6,000.-00 worth of work had been issued, and this $6,000.00 was entirely for remodelling and repairs. However., t0wards the end of the period the Mezick development came in for pnmits for eight new buildings.
It would seem that aside from the new church and school bein;; built by St. Anastasia, the building acbivity in the Township is entir~ly confined to the Mezick developn•ent. .........................................................................
This locality is fortunate in having available for its commercial service such outstanding experts in their respective crafts as John Skala, the well known and highly recommended plumbing and heating contractor with headquarters at 37 Intervale Road. Teaneck.
He is looked upon as a very efficient plumber and heating worker and is especially commended just now for the repair work and jobbing in which he snecializes.
He is looked upon as a very high-class business man, noted as well for his dependability as for hi~ ability in all phases of plumhing and heating work.
He has advanced his reput!'ltion f01 efficient and reliable workmanship during the period of years he haG been in business by earnest and ir•telligent efforts. He is highly commended for his conscientious SPrvice and for his personal attention to all details of any contracts hP handles.
TOWN WELFARE WORKERS STILL FUNCTIONING
Although the campaign for EmCl-gency Relief Funds conducted by the Teaneck Welfare Organization c~·me to an official close on June 1, dor.ations are still being received ~ccording to a statement made last night by James P. Birch, Treasurer. Since the books were audited on May 20th by Frederick W. Scholz, C. P. A., more than $1500 has come in the way of receipts. The total funds from all sources, UJ.o to August 26 last, amounts to $9,309.19. Of this amount more than $8600 has been made available for distribution through the Teaneck Welfare Committee. Officers of the organization are hopeful that before it becomes necessary to institute a second campaign, funds derived from the fir.5t drive will reach the $10,000 mark .
14 Police Pistol Teams Compete At Op~ning Of T_eanec_k Range
· (Continued} tions were ideal and remarkably high scores were made, Red Bank winnil}g the chief event for fourman teams with a score of 1,145 points, the Bergen County Traffic Police ranking second with a score of 1,123 and Rutherford .third, with 1,111. Englewood and Glen Rock tied for fourth at 1,102. Bogota's 912 won the consolation cup for low. ,
The Teaneck force won both o E its neighborhood contests, its fourroan team defeating the Bergenfield team 1,023 to 898 and the Hackensack team 1,057 to 910. In the Bergenfield match Sergeant Frank Klimm for Teaneck made high . individual score of 272 in ;:t possible 300, which was 10 points ahead of Ruff, Bergenfield's best m~n. In the Hackensack match Sergeant Uber scored 281 ani Klimm 276 against Hackensack's top score of 261, made by Capt. Munz.
The open competitions for individuals in various events resulted in two perfect scores, Charles Ericks•on of the winning Red Bank team arid ·s. Jensen of Glen Rock each recording ten hull's eye shots in slow fire at 25 yards for scores of 100. There were several other scores of 99, 98 and 97.
In the rapid fire individual compdition T. Stapleton of Ridgewood made high score of 97.
The only event in which no member of any police department was allcwed to compete was an individual slow fire competition open only to municipal officials. After a tie., at 95 in the first trial, Major J~mes Norton of Jersey City won with 96 against Dr. Charles Harreys, police commissioner of Ridgewood, whose ·original 95 dropped in the second round to 89. In this eYent Mayor Karl D. Van Wagner won third place with 78, pulling dcwn Teaneck's only award in open competition. Township Manager Volcker was close behind him with a 74. Police Magistrate Leland Ferry of Teaneck and Judge Del Mar of Engl~wood also competed in this event.
Range Officer Theodore Morgan of the Teaneck force had supervision of the schedule, which moYed alon6 without a hitch. Amplifiers expedited the summoning of contestants. Scores were posted promptly. Music was furnished between events. A large tent was stretched above temporary bleach-' eJ: seats io shield spectators from the broiling sun. The· Teaneck force served refreshments throughout the day to both contestants anrl spectators. and everything possible was done to make the occasion enjoyable and comfortable for the large crowd that attended.
At the conclusion of the program Chief Cornelius J. Harte awndecl thE' trophies, cups· and medals to the winners. Judges in all competitions were Captain Samuel Parks of Glen Rock, Patrolman Matt
Donohue of the Bergen County Traffic Police and Patrolman Harry Maxwell of Englewood.
In making arrangements for the September 1 competition and for their own department's annual competition on Labor Day, the Teaneck Police not only had the support and- encouragement of the Township Council, which voted commendation and appreciation of the work of the members of the force who built the range, but also from other sources, a fine array of prizes and medals to be awarded in various events, which helped in assuring wide participation and the keenest rivalry.
The work of building the range, said to be one of the best in the state, was undertaken by the members of Teaneck's police force at their own initiative and on their owr. time, signalizing the improvement in mo~ale and increase of efficiency that has marked tne development of the department in the last two years. Members of the force named in the Council's vote of appreciation are Sergeants UbE'r, Costy, Klimm and Morgan and Patrolman Cancro, Deckert, Franke, Baker, Puppolo, Sganga, Keenan, Mooney, Muhlharn, Mosher, Lindsay, Ziegler, Fox, Michels, Dunn, Croonquist and Klemm. DogWarden Van Dyke also helped in thp work and was named in the motion.

ENTHUSIASM HIGH FOR STADIUM DEDICATION
SATURDAY AFTERNOON (Continued)
The athletic field will be decorao:ed for the occasion, and the committee hopes to have the Teaneck High School band on hand to add a vivid touch of color, as well as fine, music. The band alone, as proved by all its past appearances, b a great attraction in itself. Jt i;; hoped, that the new stadium now ready for its first seating, will be filled to capacity.
Prizes in the form of gold, silYer and bronze medals will b~ awarded to winners of first, second and third places in each event.
To compete in any A. A. U. event, each entrant must fill out an application blank and pay an entr~ fee of twenty-five cents. For each relay team the entry fee is two dollars. For the events in which only Teaneck residents are allowed to compete no entry fee will be charged.
The program will start at 2 p.m. and since September 10 falls on "Saturday a very large attendance is expected, as the hour is late enough to give people time to get home from business.
Entry blanks can be secured from any members of the advisory board, or from Township Manager
Volcker at Town Hall. The members of the board, who can all be found in the telephone book, are Emmons Grahn, Chairman; Robert P . Lewis, W. S. Jessurun, H. A. Antonius, William Lohr, Irving Ross and George O'Hare.
Blank forms of application to joir the A. A. U. also can be got from A. A. U. representatives, Mr. Schmali, 250 Poplar Avenue, Hackensack, and Mr. N. Joseph, 261 River Road, Teaneck, or from the office of the New Jersey Association, A. A. U., at 17 Academy Street, Newark.
All entry blanks for the events of September 10 must be in the har.ds of Robert P. Lewis, 196 Norma Road, Teaneck, or delivered to the A. A. U. Office in Newark, not later than Tuesday, September 6. The committee in charge reserves the right to reject any entry.
One of the most interestingevents will be the mile relay race for club entries, and the variety of both field and track events is such as to assure a most interesting series of contests. The program in fuU is as follows:
Events Closed to Residents of Teaneck
Boys 50 yards~8-12 years old. 75 yards-12-16 years old. 100 yards-open age. 220 yards-open age. Half mile relay-open to Tea

hour, 2 p. m. on Saturday, Septembn 10; or the place-Teaneck Hig~1 School Athletic Stadium. Everybody is invited to help make this event, the first of a s·eries the new board is planning to raise funrls fo1 emergency relief, a huge success.
When this was written, the committee had unrler way plans to 12tage a series· of boxing bouts at the stadium the evening of the svme day, September 10, proceeds a.Jso to go for emergency relief. Details had not been completed, but if the plan is found practicable the news will be spread in ample tim.~. Meantime, those interested in bo:x
_ing mizht save the date. If arrangements cannot be completed in time for September 10, the plan undoubtedly will be carried out on some other date in the near future.

alarms could still be transmitted by means of storage batteries an,! so that in case of trouble anywhere :!long the line, a warning blast is alAtomatically given.
The system installed was· bought piece meal and after competitive prices were obtained by Chief Murray, and was installed by the labor of the firemen themselves, some of whom are expert mechanics in various trades which they followed before being- appointed. Both Chief Murray in the designing and purchasing of the equipment and the men in the installing of the equipment, had the advice of a former Gamewell officiaL Some of the equipment used was given or sold to the Township of Teaneck by Hudson County Fire Departments ai· tremendously low prices.
The mechanical apparatus in th·~ firehouse is only part of the system. Another part consists of arrangements with the Bell Telephone Company whereby emergency telephone calls to the fireLouse are dis-patched over separate phones used only for this purpose.
The third integral part of the arrangement of phantom boxes throughout the town and the su;lpiying of each and every hous~ with a card showing the box number for the district in which that l:ouse is.
The fourth part consists of complete card indexes in the firehouse it~elf showing the location of all Phantom boxes and the district tlley cover, every house in town, its address and box number and a series of "running cards" showing which apparatus is to respond on fn·st, second and third alarms in th6 various dis-tricts. The advantages of this system are:
1. It speeds up the receipt of calls in the firehouse.
2. As far as humanly possible, it eliminates errors due to the excitement in reporting fires.
3. It notifies the town in general and the volunteer firemen in particular, as to where the fire is·.
4. It sets up a distinct procedue in following up fires and calling for addition help in possible contingencies.
The disadvantages of the old system which it elimin8tes were:
1. Great chance of error in r eportin~r the location of a fire.
2. The clogging of telephones by volunteer firemen, and other,,, calling into Fire Headquarters to d~?termine the location of the firo.
3 It eliminates the possibility of Teaneck fire calls going to Englewood and Hackensack Fire Headqcarters as has actu~lly happened.
4. It eliminates delay due to the necessity of volunteer firemen fir8t !'<'porting at the Fire Headquarters tJ find out where to go.
5. It eliminates any possible cor:fusion as to what is to be done in cas·e of first and second alarms.

vhluable service to Teaneck by making dental examinations o( all 1nembers of its police and fire departments without charge, and who is a member of ihe Board of Child Hyg ien e, Clinical and Social Service, has written by request for this newspaper the important arii cle on the care of infants' teeth of which the first installment appears herewith. Editor).
All parents want their children to be happy and successful, and in their eagerness· to help them, especially while babies or still verv yet'ng and helpless, there is practically no limit to the sacrifices parents are willing to make.
Every mother, when her child is ill, wishes she might take its place and bear the suffering herself, yet unfortunately there are many instances in which the little one's suffering is due solely to th<:) mother's carelessness or neglect. E:t<ch cases of neglect are particularly prevalent in the care of childien's teeth, due solely to lack of knowledge of the importance of baLy's first teeth.
Few mothers, in fact, know what takes place in the mouth of a child, or realize that from the very dav of birth until the age of 14 or 15 years there is constant growing, Huption, absorption, shedding ant! nplacement of teeth. Neither cl0 tl;ey know, the approximate time for the shedding of each babv !ooth; yet that physiologic change IS of utmost importance in the life of the child. A tooth that is supposed to fall out at the age of s:x must not be allowed to remain in the mouth until the child is ten, for too long retention of baby teeth h jvst as harmful <>s premature extraction. Both conditions are factcrs that result in crowded, crooked oT protruding teeth, improperly developed jaw bones or inharmonic-us facial fedureR.
Having· the family dentist check urJ on this condition will more than 1epay parents in satisfaction an<! pride in the looks of their children a l they grow older, and in many cases will save them the heavy expense of having the teeth straightei,ed later on by braces or other o1thodontic 11ppliances, and the ar>·gravation and worrv their use ii~Yolves·.
l\'ature gives each child twentv fi1 st teeth, ten in each jaw, arran;e•, : in a certain way and for a cc{;·_ tain purpose. 1\i~ature wants each of these teeth to stay in the mouth a cerbin leng-th of time, and to pr-rform a definite function He rce it is certainly as imnortant for the mother to watch carefully over these little organ~- so essen: ial t.J the child's future health and appearance, as it is to give care to the child's h:- ir or fingernailR; yet many mothers fail to re·' lize thb.
What, then, are the functions of thf teeth? They are four fold, anci as follows:
1 To chew food. 2 . To assist in the articulation

(Continued) of speech.
3. To assist in facial development and expression.
4. To serve (in the case of baby tEeth) as pathfinders and to preserve space in the jaw for the sue cC"eding permanent teeth,
Decayed and infected teeth not only cause pain but often lead to serious disease such as heart trouble, rheumatism, appentliciti::;, ulcerated stomach or any other ailment that can be caused by pus o;: poison produced by germs in the c:wities in bad teeth or around th1~ rocts of ulcerated teeth. Such poisons find their way into the bcdy through being swallowed with fcod or direct from infected root·>. D~· having teeth filled before decay has· time to reach the inner pulp of the tooth, or the nerve, most of these diseases can be prevented.
The gravest mistake of parents i:; neglect of the child's first permanent molar, often called the 6-year molar because it erupts at the age of six. Many parents do no<; 1ealize that this is not a baby tooth lut is intended by Nature to ren1ain permanently in the mouth. It is the first permanent tooth to arrive. Its roots do not become ahsorbed and it does not fall ou';, as the twenty temporary teeth do.
There are four of these 6-year molars, one at each of the farthest ends of each jaw, and by interlocking with each other they form th'o!

fuundation for the entire facial Rtructure and serve as a guide to the propert anatomic relationship of all permanent teeth yet to ue erupted.
Premature loss of one of the~c rlolars works chaos in the anatomy of the human mouth. Its damagP. i3 often beyond repair. Yet of all rumanent teeth this molar is the greatest sufferer from neglect dur! to the erroneous idea that it is a baby tooth and does not need atten·· tion.
Children's teeth should be examir:ed and cleaned by a dentist re~·;· uiarly every six months. Thus cavities can be discovered when smB IJ and filled early, preventing much bter trouble and expense. Th":; pian enables the dentist to correct all sorts of irregularities with little 0r no pain, and through these rcr·ular visits the child's eal'!y fear •>f tho dentist is replaced by a feclin;.>; ot confidence and friendship.

THE BEST KIND OF ADVERTISING
The rapid and successful growth of the Garden Club of Teaneck, which has just completed plans for a somewhat pretentious Fall Flower Show, as announced in this issue, gives further evidence of what can be accomplished in Teaneck when the minds of its citizens are directed along any line of effort that contemplates making their home town a better place in which to live. Both the Teaneck Community Orchestra and the Garden Club of Teaneck came into being in a very short time after publication in The Town Manager of suggestions that such organizations would be valuable fac·· tors in the life of the township, providing that there is a deep community pride in Teaneck citizens that needs only to be set at work to make it a great community asset. Citizen organizations devoted to such high aims will serve as the kind of advertisements of Teaneck.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TEANECK POLICE
The Town Manager extends its congratulations to the 'l'eaneck Police Department upon the highly successful statewide tournament that marked the dedication of its new Teaneck Pistol Range on September 1. It heartily endorses the Township Council's expression of appreciation of the fine spirit that prompted members of the force to build the range, which competent judges have declared one of the best, if not the very best in the state. Most of all, the citizens of Teaneck are to be congratulated upon the marked improvement in that arm of the municipal government on which they depend for protection of life and property and for enforcement of law.
Freed from all political entanglements or obligations and established on the basis of the merit system applied ~nder strict discipline, the police force of Teaneck in the last two years has shown greatly increased efficiency and a better m_orale than ever before. Its enterprise in providing itself with a pistol range, the sole incentive being to enable members of the force to develop higher ability in marksmanship is the best evidence of growth in the department of an en~ tirely new spirit--an ambition to win for themselves as individu~ls, and ~or t~eir department as a whole, the highest possible rank m pollee efficiency.
Teaneck now has a police force of which it may be justly
proud-a fact of which citizens are daily becoming more fully aware.
MERITS OF THE NEW RELIEF PLAN Action taken by the Township Council in creating the
Mayor's Emergency Relief Committee marks the inauguration of a new plan for handling relief work in Teaneck-a work that will continue to be one of the township's foremost problems until general business conditions have improverl greatly. In other cities where it has been tried the plan has proved its merits.
Its aims are-through a large committee of citizens representing all sections of the community-to provide for proper inv:estigation of all applicants for relief, avoid duplication of relief and assure economy in purchase and distribution of relief supplies. Such measures are necessary for assurance to contributors of relief funds that every dollar contributed shall be properly used. It is proposed also that the committee shall have a bonded treasurer and provide for audit of its accounts, so that individuals and organizations donating funds for relief can know exactly how the funds are disposd of.
Another advantage of the plan lies in the fact that local relief funds cleared through official channels earn credit for Teaneck in the allotment of state relief funds, the same as if appropriated in the budget. By this means, and through encouragement of athletic and other entertainments to raise funds, every effort is being made to lessen the drain on the pockets of individual contributors, whose generosity during the last year has been put to a severe test.
