Keep Astride All The Activities Of The Town With Your Home-Town Paper VOL. VIII—No. 17 FORDS, N. J., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1946 PRICE THREE CENTS Sweetness AND Light By Charles E. Gregory I usually let you in on most of these things, so I'm going to tell all about this winter act of mine. Briefly, it is this: when I'm home, I'm a Hannes Schneider on skis in Vermont—and when I'm in Vermont, I'm a giant of a publisher at home. The only trouble with leading a dual life like this is that you have to do a hell of a lot of travelling to keep looking good. •\- * * * You could say I'm really a symphony on skis — the same kind of symphony you get when the piccolo section gets plastered during inter- mission and comes up with the wrong score. On second thought, though, it may be more like playing by ear—in my case sometimes the right ear, sometimes the left—but definitely the performance is by ear, and completed hori- zontally. That's when I brush off the snow, strut into the lodge and while the gal- lery assembled is still breath- less from wondering how lono- it will take for the am- bulance to arrive, I go into a brisk recital of my colossal exploits as a working mem- ber of the press. :•;: :J; * * Being my kind of skier is very desirable in a lot of ways. For instance, I sup- pose the majority of you have noted with some awe the achievement of the ele- ments in fashioning a snow drift's weird pattern. You've missed half of its strange beauty when you're on the outside. Did you ever take a good look at a snow drift from the inside? Broth-er! I always say it's wonderful to be close to nature, and going into an •unanticipated and unsuspected high-dive into the side of a moun- tain really gets you close—very, very close. Piercing with your nose an inch or so of icy crust sometimes retards you from get- ting to the real bottom of things the"first time, but you'll probably •make it the next trip. * * * * One of my acquaintances at Woodstock this year, a lawyer, fell to wondering out loud if it might not be a good idea to get a writ •of habeas"corpus to get him out of the snow-plow he had been in for a week. The snow-plow, in case vou are one of those tender- foots* who spends bis winters by the hearth, is the kindergarten of the skiers. It is the basis from which all technical development stems (my book says). * * -!•- =Z : A native, yclept Wally, who thought a habeas corpus was some- thing like a dose of vitamin B-t complex, suggested a coat of lac- quer on the skis might provide more immediate relief and offered like a good host to do the job. My lawyer friend held a quick con- sultation to be sure the proposal was not in violation of the due •process provisions of the Four- teenth Amendment, and making sure he had a writ of certiorari along with him which he always carries for use in an emergency, agreed. Wally said he had a can of lacquer. Wally not only had a can of lac- quer—he also had a bottle of lac- quer, as subsequent events SO clearly demonstrated—and he ap- plied the contents of both, liber- ally. We never did see Wally again, but if he got lacquered the way the skis were, he's going to find that Spring A. D. 1946 was just a long blank in his life. This was the only time in recorded his- tory that lacquer had been shot onto a pair of skis from a four- teen-inch cannon. When we ar- rived at the tow in the morning, the skis literally oozed lacquer on all sides—nice, thick, gooey, sticky lacquer. If anybody should en- counter Wally anywhere, I'm pretty sure they'll find he's doing- the same thing. s; * * * Without going into further ds- tail, this is undoubtedly the rea- son a certain Attleboro, Mass., barrister is still in that snow- plow.

(Continued on Page 6) Vet Your License Plates Early And Amid Rusk f Is Dunham Plea Local Motor Vehicle Agency To Be Open From 9 A. M. To 6 P. M. Daily WOODBRIDGE—Beginning to- morrow, the Dunham Motor Ve- hicle Agency on Amboy Avenue, will begin the renewal of motor vehicle registrations and drivers' licenses for the 1946 registratiton year. The agency will be open weekdays throughout the month of March from 9 A. M. to 6 P. M. All 1945 plates and drivers' li- censes become invalid after March 31 at midnight. Cars appearing on the public streets after that date bearing the old registration ' are regarded as unlicensed vehicles and a heavy penalty- is provided by law for violations, The same applies to operators who fail to renew their driving privileges. The single registration plate will be used again this year and can be attached to the vehicle any time during the month of March. Anticipating an increase in busi- ness, Motor Vehicle Commissioner Arthur W. Magee urges car own- ers and drivers to apply early in the month for their renewals. He recalled other years when lines formed at the agencies during the closing days of the month and mo- torists complained at the delay. "Those who put off their re- newals until the last minute will have only themselves to blame," he cautions. Greiner Girls Present Wheelchair To Coach In Gratitude Token DECISION APPEALED WOODBRIDGE—It was learned yesterday that the Lumured Plas- tics Corporation will apply Mon- day to the Township Committee for a reversal of -a decision made by the Board of Adjustment which prohibited the concern to use a building at the intersection of Smit hand Spring Streets for the manufacture of plastic novelties, jewelry and handbags. Louis S. Jacobson, Perth Amboy, is repre- senting- the firm. W0ODBRIDGE — Dr. Albert . E. Kay, Minna Avenue, Avenel, was the winner of the $25 Sav- ings Bond awarded by the Grein- er Girls Athletic Association. With the proceeds of the drawing the girls presented their coach, Bob St. Andrassey, with a new wheelchair. St. Andrassey has been confined to a wheel- chair for the past 21 years but despite that handicap has coach- ed and managed many profes- sional and amateur athletic stars. He is a scout for the St. Louis Cardinal chain and has sent many for tryouts with the New York Giants. The Greiner Girls are mak- ing plans for the Variety Show to be held at the High "School Auditorium, March 10. The show promises to be better than last year's performance which was a sell-out. Miss Anne Marie Frank Miss Doris Riddel and Miss Lucy Rus- so have joined the organization. The next meeting will be Tues- day. Net Sales For Merck & Co.

Vet Homes For Rent,' Proposed Town Seen Ready To Co-operate With Build- ers In Development WOODBRIDGE—The possibil- ity of a rental housing.project for veterans of the Township is now being considered by the Wood- bridge Township Veterans' Hous- ing Aid Committee recently ap- pointed by Mayor August F. Greiner. At the last meeting, at which Fred P. Buntenbach presided, Her- man Stern, secretary, reported he had met \vith Warren J. Lockwood, Director of Federal Housing, New- ark, and the latter had suggested that the local governing body co- operate fully in making land avail- able for a rental housing project. Mr. Lockwood promised that the Federal Public Housing Adminis- tration would give this project a top priority in regard to financing and materials. Mayor August F. Greiiier stated the community "could certainly use a rental housing project" and assured the group the governing body would be glad to cooperate in making suitable lands available. He further suggested that a group of local builders "explore this field in the immediate future" and An- drew Aaroe was named as chair- man of such a committee. Mr. Stern stated that although the problem in Woodbridge is not, as yet, acute, it is becoming quite serious and requested that Mr. Aaroe, as chairman of the Board of Education, investigate the pos- sibility of making available the portable schools, not in use, for temporary housing quarters, in the event some of our veterans are in dire need of housing during the summer. Mr. Aaroe promised to look into the matter and report back at the March 20 meeting. Materials Scarce Builders present at the session again complained of the shortag-e of flooring and trim .and stated that if they were assured of suffi- cient materials they would not hesi- tate to start immediate operations in the Township. "A committee such as ours," re- plied Mr. Buntenbach, "is a step in the right directtion and I am sure that many other such com- mittees are being formed through- out the nation. With the concerted effort I am certain that the ma- terial bottleneck will be alleviated by the spring." Tax Rate To Be Surplus Avoids Bigger Jump Student Cop Is lauded Commissioner Rankin, Chief Keating Join In Com- mending Linn Who Studied On Own Time WOODBRIDGE — Police Com- missioner Herbert B. Rankin and Police Chief George E. Keating | today commended Patrolman Fred- erick Linn, Jr., on the completion of a course of instruction in finger- printing at the Elizabeth Police School. Commissioner Rankin said he felt credit was due Patrolman Linn for his willing-ness to take j the course on his own time with- out interferring with his regular duties and lauded Chief Keating for encouraging the patnolman to take the course. Meanwhile, Linn also received the praises of Frank Brennan, Chief of the Elizabeth Police De- 1 pai'tment, who wrote Chief Keat- ing as follows: "Officer Frederick Linn will graduate from a course of instruc- tions in fingerprinting, classifica- (Continued on Page 6 j Raritan Township Board Adopts Budget; Provides 15-Poimt Drop School Costs Represent 42 Points Of Increase; Road Appropriation Up ' WOODBRIDGE—A tax rate for Woodbridge Township of $7.79—an increase of 65 points over 1945—is indicated by the tentative 1946 budget prepared by the Township Committee. This increase is necessitated despite the appropriation of a surplus of $250,000 which was on hand at the begin- ning- of the year. Had it not been for the existence of this surplus, gained out of the prudent operation of the munici- pality's affairs, a 1946 tax rate of $9.29 would have been i*equired, it is estimated. The rate of $7.79 is exclusive of fire and garbage district taxes which vary in different areas of the Township. In a statement prepared to accompany the budget, the Committee points out that 42 points in the. 65-point increase represent a, jump in the .cost of- New Bus Routes Are Discussed; 2 Measures Introduced Fords To Get Larger P. Q* FORDS—Ground was broken Monday morning for a new build- ing which will house the Fords Post Office. The site is on New Brunswick Avenue, next to the building hous- ing the Butler Store and Hirner's Beauty Shop. The new building will be constructed by Willard Dunham, local contractor, for Jo- seph A. Dambach who is leasing it to the government. According to Mr. Dambach, the new post office, which will be com- pleted in less than two months, will be 25 x 80 feet and will have a floor space of 1,800 square feet almost twice as much as the pres- ent building. G. O. P. CLUB TO MEET WOODBRIDGE—A meeting of the Men's Unit of the First Ward Republican Club, Inc., will 'be held Tuesday, 8 P. M., at the Hunga- rian Parish Hall, .School. Street. Joseph Phair will preside. WOODBRIDGE—The Board of Commissioners, adopted its budget, which provides a 15-pound drop in the local tax rate, discussed pro- posed changes in bus lines, con- sidered issuance, of permits and sold some real estate at a 'meeting Tuesday which did not get under- way until 10:15 P. M. The budget provides a decrease of 15 points in the tax rate, which is estimated at $6.01 per $100 assessed valuation. The board reduced the amount to be raised locally by taxation to $140,000 from ,$164,000. Local district school budget is $210,0-00, an increase of $10,000. County budget was estimated at $103,- 064.16, and state school tax, $23,- 017.00. The three latter figures were estimated the same as in 1945. The total budget for local purposes is $477,386.20, . com- pared with $491,386.20. Two ordinances were passed on first reading with a public hear- ing to be held March 12. One pro- vides for vacating three paper streets, Maple -Place, Walnut iPte.ce and Magnolia Avenue. The other increases the quota for plenary re- tail distribution licenses from three to four. Discuss Permits The applications for permits to erect two billboards, tanks for fuel storage above ground, and cabins, have been received by Building Inspector George H. Thompson, who had not granted them, Mayor Walter C. Christen- sen told his colleagues. The mayor suggested it may be well to in- struct the Township attorney, Thomas L.- Hanson, to prepare an ordinance forbidding" such con- structions in residential areas. The Trowbridge Advertising Company wished to construct a V-board at the corner of Lafayette Road and Amboy Avenue, Clara Barton section, and another board on the southeast corner of Plain- field Avenue and Lincoln High- way, Stelton. The storage tanks would be placed by Eag-le Oil and Supply Company in the rear of a I garage on Highway 25, near Or- ! chard Street, I Albert Curcio appeared at the | meeting and said the property in- volved for the storage tanks is owned by his mother. Curcio said the tanks would not be elevated •but would be laid on the ground. He pointed out the site is not a residential area. (Continued on Page 3) Keasbey Girl Weds Kovach KEASBEY—Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Emma Angel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Angel, 34 Highland Avenue, this place and James Ko- vach, 57 New Street, Woodbridge. The wedding took place in Our Lady of Peac Church Fords, with the Rev. George Telebar officiat- ing. The couple was attended by Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Hatola of this place, brother-in-law and sis- ter of the bride. The bride wore a white satin gown trimmed with last and.a fin- gertip length veil arranged from a coronet of orange blossoms. Her matron of honor wore a pink bro- caded gwn. A reception for 50 persons was held at the bride's parents' home. Mr. and Mrs. Kovach are now re- siding at .the Highland Avenue ad- dress. The bride, who was graduated from Woodbridge High School in 1941, is employed at the N. J. Bell Telephone Company, Perth Am- boy. Mr. Kovach attended Wood- bridge High School and is now employed at the Newark Bottle Exchange. WOR Is Set For Any Emergency— Any, That Is, Except A torn Bomb CARTERET — Should an atom bomb land or WOR's studios at 1440 Broadway, New York, or on its transmitter,here up in the East Rahway section, the whole busi- ness would be as completely out of kilter as if it had stood in Na- gasaki, Japan, last Summer. But the arrival of an atom bomb is about the only war-time contin- gency for which the station and its transmitter were not prepared with alternative plans of opera- tion. Arrangements were set up by WOR's chief engineer, John R. Poppele, and his associates, which included a means of carrying on under almost any conditions which might eventuate. Whatever could be imagined as likely to happen was considered a possibility, and a way out was perfected. Each minute detail was worked out, in- structions given those who would have part in its operation, and practice! emergencies were hel^ throughout the war period to test the effilacy and practicality of these various plans. One arrangement provided for continuing- broadcasts if a bomb landed on the Fortieth Street side of the building where WOR studios are housed. Another provided for continuation should the Forty-first side be damaged. Still others were designed to keep WOR on the air as the key station of Mutual Broad- casting system even if Nazi or Japanese spies with drawn guns walked into the transmitter or some vital spot in the main stu- dios. Mechanical controls would have warned listening engineers something- -was amiss so that the New York City or Carteret police would have been alerted almost instantly. Figuring out what to do if an emergency makes rearrangements necessary was nothing new to Mr. Poppele, because some of his earli- est experience' in radio came dur- ing war-time. He was a radio oper- ator during the first World War. * J Even in normal times prepara- r {Continued on Page 6) operating the school system, and is a matter over which it has no control. The school district budget is submitted as a referendum and the appropriation offered on the ballot at the February election was overwhelmingly approved by the electorate. "The appropriation for the County of Middlesex," says the statement, "is also increased over 1945. Over this item the Town- ship Committee also has no con- trol and the increase for County taxes accounts for 5 points of the increase. The items over which the Township Committee has control account for 18 points, and this in- crease is occasioned by demands for additional needs in the costs of operation, and for debt serv- ice." Road Item Up the items repre- 18-point rise, are Included in sented in this additions in the allotment for roads. For salaries and 'materials in 1945, a total of $87,000 was allowed. The total for 1946 is ?137,'0Q0. In ..addition, - $6,500 would be provided for recreation and $10,000 to defray the cost of the public celebration for the community's s e r v i c e m e n and women. Anticipating extension and improvement of the Town- ship's sewer system, an allowance of $7,500 is set up as a ""down payment" on a -bond issue -of $150,000 which is projected. A year -ago, a 15 "per cent cost-of- living bonus for municipal em- ployes was voted and~this was in- creased to 20 per cent this year. •Slight increases are proposed for the Real Estate bureau, .one of the most active and profitable operations of the local govern- ment; for sewer maintenance, health department, and for the municipal participation in the cost of caring for local indigent pa- tients at the Perth Amboy Gen- eral Hospital. The "cost of funding this mu- nicipal debt this year will total $435,677.50 as against $424,- 732.50 in 1945. This includes an outlay of $238,000 for bond re- tirement and $197,677.50 for in- terest. The school budget this year ag- gregated i$675,8€7.50, and was approved by the voters independ- ently at the election earlier this month. A considerable portion of the increase over the budget of $598,515.18 last year is repre- sented by the •eoWof-livin-g- bomjs provided for school employes. l a 1934, the school district appropri- ations were $416,847.31. It is interesting to note, too, that the total of the fire distri-ct expenditures — also approved at the polls—is $131,58"6.'66 for the Township.. Fords Lions Club To Conduct Waste Paper Collection" Sunday LIBRARY BENEFIT ISELIN—The public card party and game social held by the Iselin Free Public Library Association was very successful.

Joseph A. Dambach is gen- eral chairman. The drive is being held in an effort to swell the fund for the erection of a swimming pool at the State Home for Boys at James- burg. "The worthiness of this project for the kids at the Home should appeal to all Township residents," Mr. Dambach said. "Each year the Lions make a pilgrimage to the home and efforts to aid the boys are among the oldest projects of the Club." Mr. Dambach requests that pa- per, magazines and other paper materials be left at the curb early Sunday morning. He also- request- ed that the paper be tied in bun- dles as an aid to the volunteer collectors. Three new members were ac- cepted at Monday's session, Lee Alberts, Captain Jack Egan of the Woodbridge Police Depart- ment and Jacob Berger. Raymond O. Steengrofe, Cran- ford, member of the faculty of Westfiekf High Schrool, was the guest speaker and discussed the organization and aims of the UNO. During the business session Katz reported receipts of $1,156.55 from the annual show, including- $600 realized from the program. It was also reported that a bench for skaters had been erected at a neighborhood pond by Charles Leuenberger, Walter and Holger Rasmussen. A Proclamation WHEREAS: Services to occupation forces, services to thou- sands of hospitalized soldiers and sailors, and services t-o vet- erans—-"the three continuing tattle fronts" ojf the American Red Cross—were not diminished but highlighted and; intensified by VE Day and VJ Day, symbols of war's 'end for the nation, and . i WHEREAS: New obligations have arisen to assist veterans and theip families and to contribute to the care of peoples in areas devastated by military operations, and WHEREAS: The Red Cross, never exclusively a war agency, will have increased postwar usefulness in its regular services such as disaster relief, first aid which is 'beinj? called for more and more by industrial plants and workers—water safety and accident prevention, and WHEREAS: The Red Cross is entirely dependent on volun- tary contributions to carry on its work under provisions &f its congressional charter and is seeking a goal of $13,350 in the Township; NOW, THEREFORE, I, AUGUST F.

SweetnessAND

LightBy Charles E. Gregory

I usually let you in onmost of these things, so I'mgoing to tell all about thiswinter act of mine. Briefly,it is this: when I'm home,I'm a Hannes Schneider onskis in Vermont—and whenI'm in Vermont, I'm a giantof a publisher at home. Theonly trouble with leading adual life like this is that youhave to do a hell of a lot oftravelling to keep lookinggood.

•\- * * *

You could say I'm reallya symphony on skis — thesame kind of symphony youget when the piccolo sectiongets plastered during inter-mission and comes up withthe wrong score. On secondthought, though, it may bemore like playing by ear—inmy case sometimes the rightear, sometimes the left—butdefinitely the performance isby ear, and completed hori-zontally. That's when Ibrush off the snow, strut intothe lodge and while the gal-lery assembled is still breath-less from wondering howlono- it will take for the am-bulance to arrive, I go intoa brisk recital of my colossalexploits as a working mem-ber of the press.

:•;: : J ; * *

Being my kind of skier isvery desirable in a lot ofways. For instance, I sup-pose the majority of youhave noted with some awethe achievement of the ele-ments in fashioning a snowdrift's weird pattern. You'vemissed half of its strangebeauty when you're on theoutside. Did you ever take agood look at a snow driftfrom the inside? Broth-er!I always say it's wonderful to beclose to nature, and going into an•unanticipated and unsuspectedhigh-dive into the side of a moun-tain really gets you close—very,very close. Piercing with yournose an inch or so of icy crustsometimes retards you from get-ting to the real bottom of thingsthe"first time, but you'll probably•make it the next trip.

* * * *One of my acquaintances at

Woodstock this year, a lawyer, fellto wondering out loud if it mightnot be a good idea to get a writ•of habeas"corpus to get him outof the snow-plow he had been infor a week. The snow-plow, incase vou are one of those tender-foots* who spends bis winters bythe hearth, is the kindergarten ofthe skiers. It is the basis fromwhich all technical developmentstems (my book says).

* * -!•- =Z:

A native, yclept Wally, whothought a habeas corpus was some-thing like a dose of vitamin B-tcomplex, suggested a coat of lac-quer on the skis might providemore immediate relief and offeredlike a good host to do the job. Mylawyer friend held a quick con-sultation to be sure the proposalwas not in violation of the due•process provisions of the Four-teenth Amendment, and makingsure he had a writ of certiorarialong with him which he alwayscarries for use in an emergency,agreed. Wally said he had a canof lacquer.

Wally not only had a can of lac-quer—he also had a bottle of lac-quer, as subsequent events SOclearly demonstrated—and he ap-plied the contents of both, liber-ally. We never did see Wallyagain, but if he got lacquered theway the skis were, he's going tofind that Spring A. D. 1946 wasjust a long blank in his life. Thiswas the only time in recorded his-tory that lacquer had been shotonto a pair of skis from a four-teen-inch cannon. When we ar-rived at the tow in the morning,the skis literally oozed lacquer onall sides—nice, thick, gooey, stickylacquer. If anybody should en-counter Wally anywhere, I'mpretty sure they'll find he's doing-the same thing.

Vet HomesFor Rent,'Proposed

Town Seen Ready ToCo-operate With Build-ers In Development

WOODBRIDGE—The possibil-ity of a rental housing.project forveterans of the Township is nowbeing considered by the Wood-bridge Township Veterans' Hous-ing Aid Committee recently ap-pointed by Mayor August F.Greiner.

At the last meeting, at whichFred P. Buntenbach presided, Her-man Stern, secretary, reported hehad met \vith Warren J. Lockwood,Director of Federal Housing, New-ark, and the latter had suggestedthat the local governing body co-operate fully in making land avail-able for a rental housing project.Mr. Lockwood promised that theFederal Public Housing Adminis-tration would give this project atop priority in regard to financingand materials.

Mayor August F. Greiiier statedthe community "could certainlyuse a rental housing project" andassured the group the governingbody would be glad to cooperatein making suitable lands available.He further suggested that a groupof local builders "explore this fieldin the immediate future" and An-drew Aaroe was named as chair-man of such a committee.

Mr. Stern stated that althoughthe problem in Woodbridge is not,as yet, acute, it is becoming quiteserious and requested that Mr.Aaroe, as chairman of the Boardof Education, investigate the pos-sibility of making available theportable schools, not in use, fortemporary housing quarters, in theevent some of our veterans are indire need of housing during thesummer. Mr. Aaroe promised tolook into the matter and reportback at the March 20 meeting.

Materials ScarceBuilders present at the session

again complained of the shortag-eof flooring and trim .and statedthat if they were assured of suffi-cient materials they would not hesi-tate to start immediate operationsin the Township.

"A committee such as ours," re-plied Mr. Buntenbach, "is a stepin the right directtion and I amsure that many other such com-mittees are being formed through-out the nation. With the concertedeffort I am certain that the ma-terial bottleneck will be alleviatedby the spring."

Raritan Township Board AdoptsBudget; Provides 15-Poimt Drop

School Costs Represent42 Points Of Increase;Road Appropriation Up '

WOODBRIDGE—A tax rate for Woodbridge Townshipof $7.79—an increase of 65 points over 1945—is indicatedby the tentative 1946 budget prepared by the TownshipCommittee.

This increase is necessitated despite the appropriationof a surplus of $250,000 which was on hand at the begin-ning- of the year. Had it not been for the existence of thissurplus, gained out of the prudent operation of the munici-pality's affairs, a 1946 tax rate of $9.29 would have beeni*equired, it is estimated. The rate of $7.79 is exclusive offire and garbage district taxes which vary in differentareas of the Township.

In a statement prepared to accompany the budget, theCommittee points out that 42 points in the. 65-point increaserepresent a, jump in the .cost of-

The Trowbridge AdvertisingCompany wished to construct aV-board at the corner of LafayetteRoad and Amboy Avenue, ClaraBarton section, and another boardon the southeast corner of Plain-field Avenue and Lincoln High-way, Stelton.

WOR Is Set For Any Emergency—Any, That Is, Except A torn Bomb

CARTERET — Should an atombomb land or WOR's studios at1440 Broadway, New York, or onits transmitter,here up in the EastRahway section, the whole busi-ness would be as completely outof kilter as if it had stood in Na-gasaki, Japan, last Summer. Butthe arrival of an atom bomb isabout the only war-time contin-gency for which the station andits transmitter were not preparedwith alternative plans of opera-tion.

Arrangements were set up byWOR's chief engineer, John R.Poppele, and his associates, whichincluded a means of carrying onunder almost any conditions whichmight eventuate. Whatever couldbe imagined as likely to happenwas considered a possibility, anda way out was perfected. Eachminute detail was worked out, in-structions given those who wouldhave part in its operation, andpractice! emergencies were hel^throughout the war period to testthe effilacy and practicality of

these various plans.One arrangement provided for

continuing- broadcasts if a bomblanded on the Fortieth Street sideof the building where WOR studiosare housed. Another provided forcontinuation should the Forty-firstside be damaged. Still others weredesigned to keep WOR on the airas the key station of Mutual Broad-casting system even if Nazi orJapanese spies with drawn gunswalked into the transmitter orsome vital spot in the main stu-dios. Mechanical controls wouldhave warned listening engineerssomething- -was amiss so that theNew York City or Carteret policewould have been alerted almostinstantly.

Figuring out what to • do if anemergency makes rearrangementsnecessary was nothing new to Mr.Poppele, because some of his earli-est experience' in radio came dur-ing war-time. He was a radio oper-

• ator during the first World War. *J Even in normal times prepara-r {Continued on Page 6)

"The appropriation for theCounty of Middlesex," says thestatement, "is also increased over1945. Over this item the Town-ship Committee also has no con-trol and the increase for Countytaxes accounts for 5 points of theincrease. The items over which theTownship Committee has controlaccount for 18 points, and this in-crease is occasioned by demandsfor additional needs in the costsof operation, and for debt serv-ice."

Road Item Upthe items repre-18-point rise, are

Included insented in thisadditions in the allotment forroads. For salaries and 'materialsin 1945, a total of $87,000 wasallowed. The total for 1946 is?137,'0Q0. In ..addition, - $6,500would be provided for recreationand $10,000 to defray the costof the public celebration for thecommunity's s e r v i c e m e n andwomen. Anticipating extensionand improvement of the Town-ship's sewer system, an allowanceof $7,500 is set up as a ""down

payment" on a -bond issue -of$150,000 which is projected. Ayear -ago, a 15 "per cent cost-of-living bonus for municipal em-ployes was voted and~this was in-creased to 20 per cent this year.

•Slight increases are proposedfor the Real Estate bureau, .oneof the most active and profitableoperations of the local govern-ment; for sewer maintenance,health department, and for themunicipal participation in the costof caring for local indigent pa-tients at the Perth Amboy Gen-eral Hospital.

The "cost of funding this mu-nicipal debt this year will total$435,677.50 as against $424,-732.50 in 1945. This includes anoutlay of $238,000 for bond re-tirement and $197,677.50 for in-terest.

The school budget this year ag-gregated i$675,8€7.50, and wasapproved by the voters independ-ently at the election earlier thismonth. A considerable portion ofthe increase over the budget of$598,515.18 last year is repre-sented by the •eoWof-livin-g- bomjsprovided for school employes. l a1934, the school district appropri-ations were $416,847.31.

It is interesting to note, too,that the total of the fire distri-ctexpenditures — also approved atthe polls—is $131,58"6.'66 for theTownship..

Adopts Budget(Continued from Page 1)

Wilbur Trowbridge, represent-ing the advertising" company, an-nounced he was withdrawing theapplication for erection of thesign in Clara Barton after MayorChristensen stated he believed the.area involved is goinp; to be de-veloped for a residential area.

Trowbridge told the body hiscompany had planned to erect thesign there 27-5 feet back from thecorner. He pointed out the com-pany is conscious ox possible acci-dents and erect signs at least threecar lengths from the road to giveclear visibility. The sign in Stel-ton would be placed 100 feet fromthe corner and the company wouldhave to clear a wooded sectipn toerect the sign, he said.

Commissioner James C. For-gione maintained bill boards atcorners are a detriment to motor-ists. No action was taken on thematter following the discussion.

Consider Bus RoutesThe commissioners approved the

application of Public Service Co-ordinated Transport for the ex-tension of a bus route to provideservice for Inman Avenue Potters,-presented by Commissioner JuliusC. Engel. Mayor Christensen, whoquestioned the kind of servicethe corporation actually intends,pointed out there was nothing inthe resolution submitted by thetransport " corporation stipulating1

buses would be operated morningand evenin gbusiness hours andthe afternoon shopping hours.

Attorney Hansen said he wouldattend the hearing oil the matterbefore the Public Board of Utitli-ties and see the service intendedis made part of the record.

Public Service was representedat the meeting by Michael Si-natra of Perth Amboy who said10 buses would be operated fromthe Woodbridge line, along In-man Avenue to the railroad sta-tion in Potters and return. He as-sured the body the corporationplans to provide adequate servicefor the residents, as requested.

Commissioner H e n r y Trogeragreed with the mayor the com-missioners wanted to know whatkind of service the franchisecovers. Mayor Christensen said hethought the route would be asplendid thing, b ut he alsothought the municipality is alsoentitled to know what kind ofservice would be provided. Theapplications had been returned to.Public Service following a nieet-'j ing February 12 for additionalinformation.

The board approved the corpor-ation's request to extend Route82, from Perth Amboy to Fords.Sinatra explained the bus wouldenter King George Road, go alongFord Avenue to Ford Street and'return to Correal Street. Thechange merely means the buswould operate through a smallportion of the township.

The third application was re-ferred back to the corporation.The change in the route wouldmean the bus would not travelalong Glenn Court. Sintara ex-plained the corporation had con-ducted a surveyNand found oneside of the court to be vacant lotsand only about six houses on thfother. He pointed out there arcno bus shelters on the court andresidents usually walk tp Gross'corners, Woodbridge and AmboyAvenues, to board the bus.

Sell Property

The commissioners received anoffer of ,83,700 from WhitehallLumber and Supply Company ofSouth Amboy, through its attor-ney, John Mullane, -for 100 lots inthe vicinity of Bloomfield Avenue.

Other offers received for- prop-erty, which will be sold March 12.include: Mr. and Mrs. John Koper-white, two lots, $300; Mrs. LouiseF. Desnoyers, .one lot, $Wd; Mr.and Mrs. William G. Ducik, twolots, $380. '

New Testament RevisedAnew translation of the New Testament

w.as published last week after years ofwork by a committee of Biblical scholarsnamed, by the International Council ofReligious Education^ with which the edu-cational boards of forty major Protestantdenominations of the United States andCanada are associated.

Tthe Rev. Dr. Luther A. Weigle, Deanof the Yale University Divinity School andchairman of the American Standard BibleCommittee, says that the Bible carries itsfull message "to those who read it thatthey may discern and understand God'sword to men" and "that word must notbe hidden in ancient phrases that havechanged or lost their meaning; it muststand forth in language that is direct andclear and meaningful to the people of to-day."

• The translation of the New Testamentwill be followed in about four years by asimilar translation of the Old Testament,upon which a -section of the committee ofBiblican scholars is now engaged.

The "new version, to be known as theRevised Standard Version, is an authorizedrevision of the 'American Standard Bibleof 1901, which was a revision of the KingJames Version, published in 1611. Whileit differs in form and content from theolder edition, the translators report that

, none of the changes affect any major doc-trine of the Christian faith.

The committee in charge of the revisionpoints out that the American StandardVersion was more accurate in conveyingthe meaning of the - Scriptures than theKing James'Version but lost much of thebeauty and power of the former, througha mechanical, literal translation. They alsopoint out that scholars are better~equippedtoday than they were sixty years ago to

' tfcetermine the original text of the GreekNew Testament and to understand its lan-guage.

. , The first English translation of the Scrip-tures, according to Dr. Weigle, was made

' from the Latin Vulgate by John Wyclifabout 1380. The first English version to betranslated from the original Hebrew andGreek was done by William Tyndale, whowas martyred in 1636. It was followed bynumerous others, including the King JamesBible, which, in its early days was attackedfor "bad theology, bad scholarship and badEbglish," but gradually displaced the oth-ers in common use among Protestants andcame to be considered the "authorizedversion."

No Home For ChildrenA- mother in Indianapolis, Ind., recently

admitted to a Juvenile Court investigatorthat she had placed six of her seven chil-dren in a children's home.

Explaining her action she said that theywere forced to move from the house theyoccupied and could not rent another be-cause she had "too many children." Thehusband took up quarters in a garage-..andthe wife and baby were taken in by aneighbor.

The plight of this woman calls attentionto the obvious fact that those Who renthomes are increasingly inclined to preferchildless couples or boarders. The husbandand wife with children are penalized whenthey seek to rent a home.

We are frank to admit that from thepoint of view of the owner of a house, it isprobably more satisfactory to eliminatechildren in houses that are rented. There isan extra wear and tear upon rented quar-ters when children are present, whichmeans a money loss to investors who buildhomes to rent for a profit.

We have not heard of any instance inthis municipality as tragic as that discussedabove, but we know that some owners donot rent to families with children. How thehandicap can be removed, so far as littlechildren are concerned, we do not knowbut maybe it will be necessary for the gov-ernment to subsidize families with chil-dren, or to make available to them pub-licly-financed homes on equitable terms.

National Guard PlannedThe revelation that the Army plans a

post-war National Guard of 425,000 en-listed men, with the intention of increasingthe force to 750,000, indicates that an ef-fort will be made to make the NationalGuard a well-trained force, equipped andready to participate in any and all opera-tions of the Army, whether at home orabroad.

In explaining the program to the HouseMilitary Affairs Committee, Army officialsdeclared that the "pride and traditions ofthe old organizations will be utilized asfar as practicable" .but priority will begiven to air units and- divisions, infantryregimental combat teams, anti-aircraft ar-tillery, signal aircraft warning units andunits needed to facilitate training. It is dis-tinctly explained that the units of theGuard will perform their normal task ofmaintaining law and order "under con-stant orders of the State authorities."

When the National Guard was musteredinto federal service in September, 1940, itsstrength was about 300,000 men. Subse-quently^ when war came the strength ofthe Guard was down to around 250,000men and 20,000 officers. When federalfzed,the guardsmen were exempt from over-seas service but many enlisted for such

"service before the exemption was removed:-and some Guard units took part in theearliest fighting in the Pacific areas.

The fact that the Army now recom-mends the permanent creation of a Na-tional Guard, with the idea of having aforce much larger than our pre-war organ-ization, indicates that the record of theguardsmen was acceptable and that theyrendered good service. This is what onewould naturally expect, and it is safe tocount on the expanded Guard to add ma-terially to the defense forces of the nation.

The Red Cross Needs Your HelpCalling attention to the Tact that the

American National Red Cross, under a con-gressional charter, is extending care andaid to servicemen in distant areas, treatingwounded and aiding victims of catastropheand always training men and women tocombat sickness and accident, PresidentTruman has designated the month ofMarch, 1946, as "Red Cross Month."

The organization seeks to raise, by vol-untary contributions, in a nation-wide cam-paign, a minimum fund of" $100,000,000with which to carry on its work while thefoundations of peace are being established'and, in its humanitarian service, to expressthe spirit of universal good will which rec-ognizes no barriers in human welfare. Inhis proclamation ,the President urges everycitizen to make the utmost response to this"indispensable humanitarian cause." ,;

The Red Cross, one of three national or-ganizations chartered by Congress, under-took and successfully accomplished a tre-mendous task during the active participa-tion of this nation in war. It has manyduties to perform if proper attention is tobe paid to our veterans overseas, in con-

nection with our belligerent effort. In addi-tion, it has a long record of relief work inthe peaceful years of our national exist-ence, bringing aid, treatment and rehabili-tation to victims of disaster. It also makesits contribution to the war against sickness,accident, suffering and death.

We call attention to these things so thatthe people of this municipality will be ad-vised of the appeal and prepared to makea financial contribution which will enablethe Red Cross to carry on its work. Duringthe ewar years, there was general desireto take part in Red Cross work by a finan-cial contribution if not through personalservice, and this spirit will assure the suc-cess of the campaign because our peopleare just as anxious to help suffering hu-manity in times of peace as upon the occa-sion of warfare*.

ONCE TOO OFTEN!

OKAV ROUO!

sDear Louisa:

I turn to you with my problemas I know you to be a very un-derstanding person.

I am a girl eighteen years old.I like to go to dances, to placeswhere I can meet nice boys andg-irls of my own age. Instead Ihave no fun out of life whatso-ever.

My parents object to me goinganywhere. I am at home from oneSunday to another.

Do you think that a girl of myage should sit at home all the timeand be lonesome?

LONESOME GIRL—Ga.Answer:

I certainly do not and itamazes me that I get so manyletters from. girls who have suchunreasonable parents. The veryidea of an eighteen year old girlbeing kept away from all socialcontacts with boys and girls ofher own age is ridiculous. If theparents would only realize it, suchbehavior is what very often causestheir daughters to marry the firstgood-for-nothing man who comesalong in order to get out of sucha prison-like home.

Really good parents encouragetheir children to know other young-people by inviting them to theirhomes and making the youngcrowd welcome.

I certainly do not approve ofturning young girls loose to gowith all kinds of young men ofbad character visit questionableroad houses or stay out all hoursof the night.

But — there should not be anyreason why she shouldn't go to arespectable dance or party withnice boys.

You write a very nice letterand I am sure that you will beable to get a job when you finishschool. Then you will be able todecide some things for yourself.

LOUISA.

Under The State HouseBy J. . Joseph Gribblns

Yamashita Was WarnedSentimental Americans who worried

about the hanging of Gen. Yamashita didnot show similar concern over the victimsof Japanese policy in the Philippines, evenwhen those who suffered were Americansoldiers.

It should not be overlooked that, in con-nection with hostilities in the Far East, theJapanese government and its leaders weregiven ample warning that they would beheld responsible for any mistreatment ofour servicemen or of natives under theircontrol.

The enemy leaders refused to heed thewarning. They cannot say now that theydid not know of the cruelties inflictedupon the helpless people in their posses-sion. Nearly everybody in the world knewabout it at the time.

TRENTON—Because people areliving' longer in New Jersey thesedays something must be done nowfor the great number of old-timers who are chronically ill, theDivision of Old Age Assistance ofthe State Department of Institu-tions and Agencies claims. Theproblem is no longer one for fu-ture consideration.

Between 1900 and 1940 the pro^portion of the over 65-year-oldgroup in New Jersey's populationincreased from 80,000 to approxi-mately 278,000, it is officially re-ported. Since 1940 this number ofcitizens in the over 65-year-oldcategory has increased consider-ably. .

Old age assistance totaling $8,-744,865.07 was paid out duringthe past fiscal year to approxi-mately 23,452 persons over 65years of age who had no -one tosupport them. Of the amount $4,-222,765.26 was furnished by theFederal. Government; $3,391,574..57 by the State of New Jerseyand '$1,130,525.04 by counties.

Adequate facilities for the careof aged persons are needed in allparts of New Jersey, accordingto the Division of Old Age Assist-ance which is headed by the capableMarc P. Dowdell. Such a programshould be broad enough to takecare of the medical, social, emo-tional and economic problems in-volved, it is claimed.

The remedy for the situation,which is set forth in a compre-hensive report just presented to

Governor Walter E\ Edge by theDivision of Old Age Assistance,follows:

"Expansion of facilities to pro-vide the best possible service suit-ed to individual needs calls forincreased use of the practicalnurse; further housekeeping aid,plus., the services of the visiting-nurse; further development of thesmall boarding home providing afamily atmosphere under the com-petent management "of an under-standing, tolerant operator; theestablishment of county welfarehouses with hospital divisions de-signed to meet the needs of eachcounty for prolonged and life timecare. With this set-up the privatenursing home can then be used forthe temporary nursing case andfor the rehabilitation of convales-cents."

INFLATION:—Chester Bowles,who recently took over the tre-mendous job of coordinating thecountry's stabilization program atthe request of President Truman,wants the help of New Jersey citi-zens in fighting the dangers of in-flation. He claims "the road wetravel during the next few monthscan determine the course of oureconomy — and the world's — foryears to come."

"I think the biggest danger rightnow is that of a psyehologival in-ation," says Mr. Bowles. "Toomany people are betting on infla-tion. There is too much loose talkto the effect that inflation is in-

didn't take him serious until justa short while ago.

He lives out of town and comesto see me on e in every twoweeks, then he is always withsome boy friends. I feel that ifhe really loved me he would comemore often. I know he can. Hedoesn't seem to mind if I go withboys if he isn't here but I don'twant to.

My problem is should I con-tinue to go with him as mattersare or should I go with other boysand have a good time and lethim know it. Although I love himand hope to marry him some dayI think he should show me moreattention.

LONESOME—Md.Answer: '

He certainly does seem unen-thusiastic, to say the least foronce every two weeks is not usu-ally often enough for people whoare very much in lave, to seeeach other if they ca« possiblymanage.

I think you would be wise to gowith other boys and it is justpossible that you will meet someother person who will make youhappier than the boy you are go-ing with. LOUISA.

- Interest Rates To Be LowThere are cautious financiers in the na-

tion today who yearn for the return of thegood old days of high interest rates. Theytend to hold down on money lending in thebelief that, a little later on, they can get ahigher per cent.

The policy of the nation is for low in-terest rates. The national debt makes italmost imperative and the national wel-fare makes it inevitable. There is not muchchance that money rates, so far as the aver-age borrower is concerned, will go higher.

evitable or that it is already here.Obviously that can have the sameresult as a run on a bank unlessit is effectively squelched by facts.

"The facts are that since May1943 when the hold-the-line orderwas issued increases in the costof living have been decisivelychecked. It is only in the uncon-trolled areas such as the stock mar-ket and real estate where thereis any runaway inflation."

OLD TIMER:—State HighwayCommissioner Spencer Miller, Jr.,who solves many road problemsdaily, has been requested by aformer resident of New Jersey,now residing at Coral Gables, Flo-rida, to settle a $50 bet.

Fred F. Lewis, formerly of New-ark, wrote from the southland in-sisting that prior to 1909 therewas no through public road in New

! Jersey from New York to Tren-ton. He said that "in order todrive an auto it was necessary togo by ferry to Staten Island andcross at Perth Amboy to get toNew Brunswick and the roads wereoften through farms and it wasnecessary to get -out and openseveral gates on the way.

"I made the trip several timesfrom 1907 to 1910 and it usuallytook four days from New York toWashington," wrote Lewis, "Allof the roads except in the largecities were dirt roads used - byfarmers and there was no throughtraffic. There was a fair road fromPerth Amboy to Brunswick but nopublic road from Newark to Bruns-wick and there were so many pas-tures and gates to open that itwas quicker to go by Stateh Islandand Perth Amboy. Is there any-one in your department who is oldenough to verify this statement asI have a $50 bet to prove and Imade the trip often."

Commissioner Miller referredthe letter to the department'snonagenarian, Robert L. Meekerof Plainfield, former State High-way Engineer, to be answeredwhen he returns to his office.

Dear Louisa:I read your column often and

I want you to help me with myproblem.

I am eighteen and have beengoing with a boy my own age formore than a year and a half. Hesays he loves me and has askedme to marry him although I

APPROPRIATIONS: — Me m -bers of the Joint Legislative Ap-propriations Committee, headedby Senator Herbert J. Pascoe, ofElizabeth, are hard workers. Thisweek they completed work in re-viewing the annual budget of Gov-ernor Walter E. Edge calling foran expenditure of $131,000,000to operate the State Governmentduring the next fiscal year.

During the hours of arduous'labors, many laughs occur. For in-J stance, the members were "floored", recently when State Forester

Charles P. Wilber asked for $18,-000 for "silvercultural" improve-ment. Questioning developed thathe was proposing merely "improve-ment of the woods"—the definitionof silverculture.

State Senator Arthur W. Lewis,of Burlington County, hastilywithdrew a suggestion that hunt-ing and fishing license revenues beexpended in each county in theratio in which the funds are col-lected recently when Senator Pas-coe countered with the sugges-tion that the same principle applyto motor vehicle revenues.

OYSTERS:—Another Japaneseinvasion, similar to the beetlewhich has plagued farmers, horti-culturists and home owners fortwo generations, is predicted bythe Fish and Wildlife Service ifNew Jersey oyster growers don'twatch out.

The South Jersey oyster grow-ers specifically are warned not toimport Japanese oysters for plant-ing in the beds of Delaware Bayand other areas. The Japanese oys-ter, which does not have the suc-culent flavor of the native bivalve,is more prolific and if planted onthe natural beds of the Atlanticind Gulf coasts would outgrow thenative form and possibly replace it,according to the Fish and WildlifeService.

Along with the imported oys-ters will come the dreaded Japa-nese oyster drill which has alreadybeen imported into northei •: waterslong with the seed oysters and

has become well established. Thisdrill which is a species of snail, isvery difficult to control. The onlyeffective means of controlling thedrill is to locate the eggs in rockyor concrete crevices at low tideand burn them witha blow torch,which is a very slow and expensivemethod of control.

New Jersey oyster-men whomight be attracted by the cheapprice of the Japanese oyster areasked to remember Pearl Harbor.

j WOODBRIDGE — A successfuljweek was chalked up by the St.James' CYO Varsity when it rolled

(over the Falcon A. C, of Perth'Amboy, 84-48, and scored a re-' markable victory over the power-laden St. John A. C, Central Islip,Long Island, 47-32. .• - <

In the first tilt, the Falconswere engulfed in a virtual hurri-cane as they found the CYO's of-fense functioning in high : gear.Big Bob Patten proved too muchfor the visitors to handle underthe nets. Patten accounted for 10field goals,- and three fouls for 23points. Herbie Vahaly followedwith 17 points and Bob Turnertossed in 16 for a good night'swork.

The game with the Long Islandteam was a benefit for the Marchof Dimes. Action was slow for thefirst three minutes of the gamewith neither team able to scoreuntil Bob Trainer dropped in afoul to put the CYO in front, butonly for a short time for O'Rourketossed in two points for St. John's.However the latter s« lead wasshort-lived for baskets by Vahalyand Patten put the CYO out front.Herbie Vahaly led both teams inscoring with 15 points.

Love Takes A HandBy ROBERT McBLAIR

Savagely, old Adam Courtneytwisted his "cigar-yellowed mous-tache. Prom the parlor sofa, themuffled sobs of Diana, his shapelyand lovely young daughter, ex-

- pressed an unshakable' defiance.fie glared at her with all the angera deep love would permit.

"I—I AM going to marry JimBailey," she chanted monotonous-ly. "I don't care if he HASN'T got

- the money he ought to have tostart in business. I don't care if heHAS only—three thousand in-stead of six." The slender legskicked hysterically. A slipper flew

" across the room "I LOVE him,doggone him! I LOVE 'him!"• Grimly", Adam Courtney went

" for Ms hat and his heavy, cane.• Grimly he left the house. He knew

where to find Jim Bailey. Barredfrom palling on Diana, he would be•waiting at the club—the big social

"• and athletic club—for her to join"him for the dance tonight.

In the old days on the WestCoast, he thought angrily, a mat-ter such as this might have beensettled with a .45. Now businessand money and convention hadovertaken him—after his mar-riage, late in life.

Diana was all he had, since the"young wife he adored had died inchildbirth* Ever since that day,his only child had been his only

- interest, taking the place of hermother before her. Never beforethis had she defied him, turnedfrom his love to love someone else.As things stood tonight, however,he had lost her-^-unless somehowhe could hold her. back.

Surely this called for desperatemeasures. As he stalked into theclub, lie spied the ruddy muscularyoung object of his quest. In theblack and white dinner clothes,Jim Bailey sat watching a game inthe busy card room. Jim rose, andthe table fell silent, as the grimold man came up.

"Jim Bailey," Adam Courtneythundered, "are you man enoughto take a gamble?"

i Jim Bailey simply stared."I understand you have three

thousand in the savings bank," oldCourtney said. "I'll put up twodollars to every one of yours. Giveyou two to one on every bet. Sixthousand to three thousand, tablestakes. If you lose—you will agreeto leave my daughter alone."

"And what if I win?" askedJim Bailey.". "Win?" Adam Courtney's bonyface paled. "Win—you marry her,sir, of course."

Jim Baijey hesitated, and thewhole room- stopped breathing.Everybody understood the strugglethat had been going on betweenhim and Diana, on the one hand.,and Diana's father on the other.Under ordinary circumstances, noone would expect him to agree torisk losing his money ami his hopeof future happiness on the turn ofa card. But suddenly.it had dawnedon everybody that this situationwas not ordinary.

•Only two weeks before, the oldman had caned a newspaper edi-tor who had intimated that AdamCourtney, in the old days on theCoast, had been a professionalgambler. No one believed a wordof the accusation. But now, to re-fuse publicly to play would tell theworld you believed what the editorhad written, and were afraid ofbeing rooked.

Jim Bailey wet his lips. "Doyou want to play with chips, sir,or cash?—but even money!"

"Cash!" said Aram Courtneygrimly.

Next evening each bearing hisstake of three thousand dollars,they took their seats in the cardroom.

"Draw pokei*," announced AdamCourtney, tearing open the pack."Table stakes. And," he leanedacross the table and looked JimBailey in the eye, "a gentleman'sagreement!"

"Okay," Jim Bailey said. "Willyou cut, sir?"

Open gambling was not per-mitted in the club. But what em-ploye would dare stop this? Likewildfire the news spread. Membershurried in just in time to see theold man lose "five hundred dollarson a full house, against Jim's fourtens. • .;

At first, luck seemed to favorJim Bailey. But presently the calm,grim old man began to win.

Then the old man lost threelarge bets. The stacks of moneystood about even again—-eachthree thousand dollars.

Jim Bailey dealt. Adam Court-ney looked at his cards. He count-ed out five hundred dollars. JimBailey looked at his cards. With-out hesitation, he pushed an equalamount forward.

Then each drew cards. JimBailey held up three cards anddrew two. Adam Courtney askedfor but one. The old man lookedat the card. Quickly he pushed for-ward his whole remaining pile.

The spectators glanced at oneanother. Some thought they hadglimpsed the two hands. To start

with, they afterward . explained,Jim Bailey held three aces, AdamCourtney three kings. On the drawit seemed that Jim, with three acespat, had caught two queens. Thushe had the highest possible full-house on this deal. But the oldman had caught another king, andheld four—the winning hand.

Would Jim Bailey put up hiswhole pile and call the .old man'shet? If he did, the game was over.He would lose his money, andDiana, too.

Jim Bailey's hand shook as heriffled his remaining pile. Sincethe old man hardly had four-of-a-kind to start with, and had drawnbut one card, the odds were fortyto one against his now havingfour-of-a-kind or better. Suddenlyhis face no longer ruddy, JimBailey pushed his whole pile for-ward.

"I call, sir," he said. He spreadout his hand. "I've got a full-house—aces over queens."

Then occurred one of those dis-turbing interruptions which ex-plain the new screens at the cardroom door. There was a cry and acommotion, and Diana, AdamCourtney's daughter, appeared inthe doorway, staring in at theplayers.

She was dressed to go to thedance. Her hair was arranged inthe style of twenty years ago. Ina white satin dress which had be-longed to her mother, she looked(as an elderly member said) thespitting image of Adam Courtney's,dead wife.

Old Adam Courtney glanced up,stared, as at a ghost. Heaven onlyknows what memory—perhaps ofhis and his wife's glowing earlyhappiness — passed through hismind. He drew a deep, slow breath.His cane dropped and clattered.His white head disappeared be-neath the table as he retrievedthe cane from the floor.

This distraction lasted but amoment. Then Adam Courtney satup and faced Jim Bailey. Leaningawkwardly forward, his left handheavy on the .table, the old manturned his own cards up, one byone.

THE KING OF DIAMONDS."One!" the crowd breathed. THEKING OF HEARTS. "Two!" thecrowd whispered. THE KING OFCLUBS. "Three!" the crowd mur-mured. Then he turned—THEQUEEN OF DIAMONDS.

It was his last card.Not only had he failed to catch

the king -of spades on the draw,apparently he had drawn but one

card,- when he should have drawntwo. He held only four cards, aworthless hand.. The grim old man had lost! Jim

Bailey had won, not only the oldman's three thousand, but hisdaughter.

Jim Bailey gathered in all themoney. He stood up, holding it inhis hand. Everyone watched AdamCourtney's daughter as Jim Baileycrossed to where she stood framedin the doorway.

She touched Jim's arm—andhesitated. Of course she had beentold what was up. The money inJim's hand told her the rest. Sheran to her father. The grim oidman ignored her. She put her armaround him and kissed him full onthe yellow staain in his whitemoustaehe. He still ignored her.She turned and ran back to Jim.

Hand in hand, the two youngpeople left the club. Their motorroared away, seemingly with atriumphant note that spoke ofmoney enough for a business, andfor marriage, and independence.

Old Adam Courtney sat staringat his bony left hand flat on thetable. For a moment his shouldersseemed to sag. Then he straight-ened, and tilted a quizzical,twinkling look up at the circle ofstaring faces.

"I knew what she was wishing,"
