                    IN HONOR OF BELLE VISTA SIMPSON

                                 ______


                            HON. HERB KLEIN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 19, 1994

  Mr. KLEIN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to pay tribute to Belle Vista Simpson United Methodist Church, located 
in Clifton, NJ. I am very proud to join with the church as it 
celebrates its 100th and 105th anniversaries on Sunday, April 24, 1994.
  Belle Vista Simpson will begin the day with a special anniversary 
Sunday church service, and continue the festivities with a luncheon at 
Fellowship Hall.
  Belle Vista Simpson is a small church which has been involved with 
the community for over 100 years. Most of the members are from Clifton, 
and are very active in community and civic affairs. For example, the 
church's special member is Mrs. Juel Olczak who is on the Board of 
Health and the curator of Cliftonis Hamilton House Museum. In addition, 
many of the members are FOCUS volunteers who help at the senior 
nutrition site at the church.
  The younger members of the church participate in the Stallion Soccer 
and Little League teams. At Clifton High School, they are involved in 
the Mustang band, Madrigals, concert choir, and the La Crosse team.
  Also, Belle Vista was a proud participant of Clifton's 75th 
anniversary celebration by making a beautiful float.
  Moreover, Mrs. Elsie Amann deserves a special tribute because on June 
17th she will be celebrating her 100th birthday. I am told that she is 
a remarkable lady, and one that is an example for all to follow.
  Since all the members of the church contribute to the community in 
some kind of service, it is with great pleasure that I ask my 
colleagues to join me in commemorating Belle Vista Simpson United 
Methodist Church.
