Better Bus Service Is NeededArthur L. Fagan Memorialized as Leading EditorJersey Observer's Journal Square Office Is Atmosphere of Cordiality
Thousands' of people in all walks of life often wonder why “high hat” attitude is never displayed either in the main office of the Jersey Observer or at its Journal Square office. Instead a spirit of friendliness and cordiality prevails supreme.
In line with the policy of the late Arthur L. Fagan, the editor and Fred Seide, the co-publisher, the following motto has been felt by all those who have visited the both offices:“Hail Guest* We ask not what
thou art,If friend, we greet thee, hand
and heart,If stranger, no longer need you
be,If foe, our love shall conquer
thee.”The Jersey Parade editors have
unanimously agreed that the late Arthur L. Fagan, co-publisher and editor of the Jersey Observer, of Englewood and Hoboken, as one of the best executive editors in America.
The leading editorial of the Jersey Parade in this week’s edition is dedicated to the momory of the late Arthur L. Fagan, who recently went into the Great Beyond in the prime of his life. ’
Mr. Fagan was a champion for the rights of the communities in Bergen and Hudson Counties. He was a towering figure among the leading editors and publishers of the country.

Lieut. Commander John Y. Dater, Jr., USNR, a veteran of both World War I and II, is now on terminal leave at his home on Grove Street, Ramsey. Commander Dater’s service of almost five years was divided between Atlantic and Pacific assignments, his most recent one having been as communications officer aboard the flagship of Vice-Admiral Jonas Ingram and his successor, Vice-Admiral Marc Mitscher, commanders of the Atlantic Fleet. His previous Atlantic assignment was senior local defense officer on shore at Newfoundland, where he was stationed for 15 months.
Councilman Albert Strikes Back A t Fusion Party Men
In a letter to the editor received yesterday, Councilman Herbert D. Albert ,of Waldwick, brands the statement of the Waldwick Fusion Party spokesmen which appeared in last
Residents of Waldwick, Saddle River, Allendale and Ridgewood Seek More Buses and Fifteen-Minute Headway
The Jersey Taxpayers and Rentpayers Association’s suburban committee has made a survey which discloses the fact that the majority of the residents of Ridgewood and vicinity prefer having 15-minute headway for all bus lines, particularly in Waldwick, Allendale, Saddle River, and certain parts of Ridgewood.----------------------------- Progress Is Retarded
week’s edition of this publication, as “ confusion.” His epistle reads as follows: ’
Editor, Jersey Parade: I have read a statement appearing in the public press last week under the signatures of the two candidates of the Fusion Party for councilmen. I am now fully convinced that it would be more appropriate to refer to that outfit as “ Confusion Party.”
“ It seems to me that the two gentlemen do not seem to know who the actual candidates are on the Democratic ticket for coun- cilmen and I hope someone may advise them that I am not running for any office this year and that they are attempting to confuse the issue by attacking me in their gummed up propaganda and such a procedure won’t get them the votes they so badly would need on election day.
“ The fact remains that a financial statement was sent to the Mayor and Council and by courtesy to the Borough Clerk as well, which shows conclusively that there is no valid ground for political propaganda.
“ And I may also state that the delay in obtaining the necessary data is attributable to the management of the former Fusion Administration . . . Right at this time the clique of frustrated ‘confusionists’ gather here and there to concoct ‘hot stuff’ propaganda and being aided and abbe- ted by the Borough Clerk, who incidentally was upheld by myself on January 1, 1946.
“ The truth always hurts. That’s why my statement in the public press has infuriated the Funionists.
“ In conclusion I wish to state that Clarence Abrams and Elmer DeMase are the candidates for councilmen on the Democratic ticket in Waldwick and not myself and that I am 100 per cent for them. I hope and trust that both Mr. Vander Els and Mr. Vitzthum would hereafter know who their opponents are in the Waldwick's local municipal campaign.”
HERBERT D. ALBERT Councilman,Waldwick, N. J.

Ridgewood Girl Wed to Canadian
St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church, Ridgewood, was the scene Saturday of a pretty nuptial ceremony when Miss Margaret Angeline Goodbody, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice F. Goodbdy, 325 Greenway Road, Ridgewood, became the bride of Peter William Goodfellow McNeily, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, son of J. A. W. McNeily, K. C., of St. John’s Newfoundland, and the late Mrs. McNeily, with the Rev. Stephen Bayne, chaplain of Columbia Pniversity, officiating, assisted by the pastor, the Rev. Alexander M. Rodger.
Harry Meachem, organist, played the wedding music, including “ Bridal March,” “ 0 Perfect Love,” “ Wedding March,” and the “ Grand Chorus.”
A reception followed the ceremony at the home of the bride’s parents.
FUSION PARTY’S DANCE TONIGHT IN BORO HALL
Under the auspices of the Waldwick Fusion Party, a barn dance will take plare tonight (Friday) in the Municipal Building. The music for the occasion will be provided by the Vaga-
Admission is 60 cents (including tax) and the general public is invited to attend.
The committee members declare that progress of many northwest Bergen communities is being retarded due to the prevailing transportational facilities and express the hope and confidence that the municipal governing bodies may call a joint conference and urge upon the bus lines to give 15-minute headway bus service instead of once in an hour in most localities.
The committee also recommends that the decision of the State Board of Public Utility Commissioners appealed to the Supreme Court in order to enable better bus service in that community and that the present bus lines be authorized to add more buses and afford more frequent services.
On the other hand the residents of the Ridgewood Highlands section of Waldwick have petitioned the Short Bus Line to erect a bus shed on Route 17. It is estimated that the population of each of the northwest Bergen communities could be doubled up in due time if better bus transportational services are afforded.
ALLENDALE WOMAN SUBMITS ESSAY ON TOWER LANDMARK
The Jersey Parade received yesterday an essay written by Ruth Simpson, of 130 Franklin Turnpike, Allendale, in which she points out that the famous Gousset Tower should not be razed to the ground.
All residents of Allendale are invited to participate in this contest. A prize of $25 is being offered to the writer of the best essay either for tearing it down or for retaining same intact. The essay is printed verbatim:
“ Let’s keep the high spots in - our borough of Allendale. Since the Gousset Water Pump Tower1 is one of them and the oldest landmark, let’s keep that, too. The tower goes well with the imposing residence and grounds and on clear days visitors to the tower top could see both Brooklyn and George Washington bridges as well as the Empire State Building.’’

NEWS AND NOTES IN THE LABOR WORLDBy ROY AMBROSE
More than fifteen local labor leaders met Monday night at the Alexander Hamilton Hotel and made preliminary plans for labor’s part in the Community Chest Campaign which begins on October 15th. Whatever else can be said of past differences between AFL, CIO and Independent unions, it was most heartening to see these groups put their heads together in order to achieve the goal set for them by the Chest officials. All were agreed that concerted activity was most essential in this humane cause.
A committee of three was chosen to formulate a program to be followed by Labor for the drive. They were: .Oakley Evans, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers (CIO); Morris Grossman, Vice-President of Paterson T y p o g r a p h ical Union (A F L); Gus Weber, of the Engineers and Salaried Employes Ass’n (Ind.).
We predict that labor will make a notable contribution to the oCmmunity Chest this year.
American Action Inc., undercover fascist renlacement for the pre-war America First Committee, which is being probed in Washington by House and Senate compaign investigating committees for possible violation of the federal corrupt practices act, was first exposed last January.
Since its formation at a secret conference at the Palmer House in Chicago in July, 1945, the organization is believed to have piled up a fund of $750,000 from wealthy industrialists connected with the Republican party and the old American Liberty League.
The present probe is based on failure of the politically active group to file a quarterly financial report with the House as required by law. The Justice Dep’t although notified of American Action’s existence at the time of the expose, has as yet taken no action on the secret organization.
Oakley Evans, Chairman of the Community Services Committee of the CIO in Paterson has announced that there will be a meeting of all CIO leaders on Monday, Oct. 14th at the Amalgamated Clothing Workers offi-

ces. In announcing this meet-1 ing, Mr. Evans, urges all labor | officials to attend this important! conference. The purpose will be j to effect a co-ordinated plan for Community Chest participation | for all CIO locals in Paterson.
The PAC of Passaic County | met last Wednesday evening at 205 Madison street in Passaic.
: Chairman John Pennella gave a j report on the outcome of the in- | terviews the committee had had ! with the. several candidates for the various offices in both the
! County and Congressional pic- ! ture. No mention was made of I the fact that PAC would en- • dorse Lewis Hansen for the gu- i bernatorial seat, although at the ! moment that appears to be the j likely position that PAC will ; take. There will be another j meeting of the County PAC on | Wednesday, Oct. 16th. Developments are worth watching from now on, and all members are urged to attend.
ESEA HasWrighfs Reply; Ho Date Is Set Yet For Talks
No date has been set yet for negotiations between the Engineers and Salaried Employes Association of Wright Aeronautical Corp. and representatives of the company, although the Digest has learned that a reply to the Association’s letter in which a request was made to open negotiations has been answered by W. J. Ehlers, company official.
Helen F. Harper, president of the employes group, sent the letter in compliance with the termination clause of the present contract. It was filed 30 days prior to the 60-day expiration of the present agreement.
“ The Union,” said Mrs. Harper, “ is ready and anxious to negotiate a net? contract. The increasing high cost of living in this area has more than wiped out any previous adjustment that the white collar workers have received.”
Wage increases, particularly, will be demanded. Other demands are still being discussed by union members.

Labor Unites For Community Chest ©rive In Paterson
Labor organizations in Paterson were united in purpose for the. Community Chest Drive when fifteen Locals met Monday night at Alexander Hamilton Hotel and made preliminary plans for Labor’s part in the campaign that begins Oct. 15.
Education of the workers was the principal topic of the meeting.
The gathering heal'd Peter Ra- dice, head of Mercer County Central Labor Unions (AFL) report on the progress made in his area. Three full time representatives of labor are engaged ill coordinating the activities of labor in Mercer, and an advisory committee of five labor men are charged with over-all policy.
“ The rank and file must be fully informed on benefits derived through the Community Chest,” Mr. Radice said. “ Not enough workers understand that these benefits may come to their own families.”
Shop stewards, chairmen, and unit leaders are the people who can do the most good in spreading knowledge of the Community Chest and how it benefits the worker, Mr. Radice pointed out.
John White of Paterson, Governor Edge’s aide, also addressed the group. He held that regular meetings for the purpose of interchanging ideas and furthering the campaign drive should be extended not only to Community Chest but for all social service work conducted by unions. In addition, he said, regularly scheduled classes should be held in order to inform the people on benefits derived from the Chest.
A committee of three wa§ named to map a program to be followed by Labor for the campaign. They were: Oakley Evans, president of Amalgamated Clothing Workers Local 160 (CIO); Morris Grossman, vice- president of Paterson Typographical Union (AFL), and Gus Weber of the independent Engineers, Salaried Employes Ass’n.
Walter Lindell, executive secretary of Paterson Y’ MCA also addressed the group. The meeting was arranged by Kenneth Fuller, chairman of the Paterson Community Chest drive.

One way to eliminate meat shortage is to have farmers in every community to raise cattle and establish slaughterhouses, and there will not be any worry about strikes, transportation and meat shortage.

IN MEMORY OF EDITOR ARTHUR L. FAGANThe passing away of A rthur L. Fagan, of Englewood
the part-owner and executive editor of the Jersey Observer, of Hoboken, one of America’s leading daily newspapers widely known for its fairness as a power-for-good in New Jersey communities, is mourned by people in many walks of life.
The Jersey Observer has occupied a unique and outstanding position as a newspaper with extraordinary forefulness and initiative with a conscientiousness appealing to the masses and the classess.
And that newspaper’s greatness is predicated upon the fact that the original owners, namely, the late Mayor Lawrence Fagan, of Hoboken, and the late Gustav Seide,
’ also of Hoboken, were men of vision and foresightedness who had the interest of the citizenry of North Jersey at heart. Their watchwords had been “fairness and impartiality to all its readers.”
A rthur L. Fagan succeeded his father as co-publisher and editor of the Jersey Observer some 25 years ago. And later on when Gus Seide passed away, his son, Fred Seide succeeded him as co-publisher and general manager. With the passing away of Arthur L. Fagan, his widow succeeded him as managing editor. And Fred Seide remains as the only survivor of the original setup.
A rthur-L . Fagan democratized and humanized the whole function of the Jersey Observer editorial department. He was a man of character and his aim in life was in the language of Jefferson “to do the greatest good, for the greatest number.” He radiated the spirit of aggressive candor and in his presence you felt the warmth and the magnetic approach of the man who was distinctly unassuming. His uprightness was so natural that it was articulate with genuine sincerity. In the brief span of a quarter of a century he had glorified that publication to the apex of state-wide prestige through the sublime epic of public duty to the reading public. He advocated the consolidation of Hudson County municipalities into one big city and mainly through the efforts of the Jersey Observer the old Union Hill and West Hoboken amalgamated into a municipality now known as Union City. He had- the history of all churches—Catholic, Protestant and Hebraic, published in serial form. He helped to bring about the establishment of police blotter system in all municipalities of Hudson County.
During the Prohibition period, he assigned one of his reporters to interview the director of the Prohibition Department in charge of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and that reporter made such a “h it” with the Prohibition department that he was appointed as a director of public relations of the Department which enabled him to accompany all the prohimition agents in their investigations and raids and, of course, the Jersey Observer was receiving Prohibition news. Hundreds of other examples could be cited to bring forth the services rendered by Arthur L. Fagan who died in the prime of his life. He also was instrumental in inaugurating the Bergen County edition of the Jersey Observer and that the writen of this editorial was the first Bergen County editor of tha t publication, and when he resigned after services of four years, a young man by the name of George Shook succeeded him as Bergen County editor. Mr. Shook is now' the editor of Jersey Observer as successor to Ar- thus L. Fagan. On the horizon of Hudson and Bergen counties is written the epic of A rthur L. Fagan. It tells the story of an ordinary, honest man who lived the drama of the newspaper profession as a modern apostle of humanity. May God bless his soul and comfort his family.
Editor, Jersey Parade:I was very much interested
with the timely speech recently broadcast by H. Alexander Smith over a radio broadcasting network when he declared the “American. Foreign Policy Must Not Become A Political Football” in his major address of campaign. I can truthfully state that U. S. Senator H. Alexander Smith is a genius and statesman of the highest rank. Mr. Smith concluded his speech by saying. “There is guiding us all a beacon light of hope and progress toward the great goal of peace on earth and goodwill between men.
EDGAR JONES
LAUDS MRS. BECK LEY Editor, Jersey Parade:
I read with greatest interest the story anent the “History of Old Days of Waldwick, Allendale, Ho-Ho-Kus and Saddle River as prepared and reported by Mrs. Emma Hopper Beckley, the “Grand Old Woman” of Waldwick. The Hopper family tree is closely linked with the history of Bergen County and Mrs. Beckley herself is widely known for her deep interest in civic pride movements in our borough.

New Jerssy Merry-Go-RoundBy M. MARTIN TURPANJIAN
LT. COL. FRANK B. CHAPMAN AND THE WACSNot so long ago I paid a visit to my old time friend,
Lt. Col. Frank B. Chapman, of Jersey City, who is the commanding officer of the WACS in the Newark Federal Courthouse Building.
It was way back in 1928 when 1 sponsored a mass meeting in Union City at which time Morgan F. Larson and Hamilton F. Kean who were candidates for governor, and U. S. Senator, respectively and Frank Chapman as candidate for Boulevard Commissioner, were the guest speakers. It is a known fact that Larson was elected governor, Kean became U. S. Senator and Frank Chapman served as Boulevard Commissioner.
When I entered the commanding officer’s department I saw WACS, WACS, WACS and WACS all around, all cheerful and in happy-go-lucky mood. When my name was sent to Lt. Col. Chapman’s private office, there was no formality, he opened his door and invited me right in. He was dictating letters, there was a WAC on his right side, a WAC on his left side, a WAC before his desk and a WAC^behind his desk and he was the picture of health and ultra-happiness. In a moment he got through with his work and all the WACS were excused and we had a heart to heart chat. Our conversation was interrupted on dozens of occasions, a telephone call, a special message, others anxious to see him, the WACs bringing in letters and name cards of so many others anxious to contact him and I turned every direction I saw nothing but WACS, WACS, WACS, WACS and WACS. He then introduced me to some of the WACS and I was surrounded by WACS, WACS and WACS.
Chapman was confidential secretary to the late Common Pleas Judge James R. Erwin of the Hudson County Common Pleas Court before he entered the armed forces. Judge E m in died several years ago at his home in Englewood, Bergen County. Frank Chapman looked 25 years younger during the war and now that the WACS are vanishing day by day and the number is dwindling rapidly, he looks a bit older. Anyway, Lt. Col. Chapman is a highly efficient servant of Uncle Sam. His services to our war effort have been a source of inspiration. All the WACS swear by him and not at him. That alone is a signal honor all by itself. He has received several citations for his extraordinary valor and services. We salute him for his patriotic zeal and fervor. Would that we had more men such as Lt. Col. Frank Chapman.
THE FOUNDER OF THE CHOP SUE HOUSES IN U. S.In my newspaper career of nearly 30 years I have
had the occasion of meeting thousands of men and women of prominence in all parts of Washington, D. C., New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
It was while I served as a member of the editorial staff of a New York daily newspaper when I met George G. Chung rather accidentally. I was in a Chinese-Ameri- can restaffrant and the owner came to me to find out if the food was delicious enough for me and sat down to talk with me, and in the course of our conversation I was curious to know who was the first person to introduce the Chop Suey eating places in America and to my amazement Mr. George G. Chung claimed to be the original “Father of the Chop Suey Houses in the United States.” An investigation showed that he was right. Whereupon I wrote about tha t subject which was syndi- acted and reprinted in various newspapers and magazines in all parts of the world.
The first Chinese-American restaurant known as the Oriental Chinese-American Restaurant was opened by George G. Chung close to 60 years ago. He owned the old Celestial Restaurant when I first met him in New York. He also had a place in Newark and had interest in 400 Chinese-American restaurants in the United States. He owned a 17-story hotel in California. We became the best of friends through such a circumstance. In appreciation of his friendship with me he presented me with a letter written in Chinese and the addresses of the 400 restaurants he owned and in that letter he stated tha t whenever I happen to visit the rastaurants in question there will be no charge whatsoever to me and to any friend or friends I had with me. All I had to do was to show that letter to the managers and everything was on cuff. I took advantage of that “magic pass” on few occasions just to test the validity of it and it surely “clicked.”
