McElroy, member of the Board of Education. Mr. McElroy said he had heard " several rumors regarding c audi- tions at the new school and de- cided yesterday ta make a per- sonal investigation. "I am of the opinion that un- less some of these faults are cor- 1-acted, "immediately, that more serious and costly damagre will result," the 'Board member de- clared. Mr. McElroy said he will taka up the -matter with" the Board as soon as possible, tout does not believe the situation is a "deep dark secret as far as other board members are concerned besause I learned that Maurice P. Duni- gan (chairman of the committee that had -charge of the constitu- tion of the school) and Aylin pierson, -Board architect, were in Avenel yesterday looking over the situation." Mr. McElroy als> stated his opinion the situation he found was not due to normal 'settlement. Mr. Pierson designed tooth the Avenel and Colonia Schools and supervised the construction. The general' contractor was John *N. Waster, Metuchen. The Avenel School cost $240,000 and the Co- lonia School, $190,000. Eleven courses of brick on the southeast corner of the main en- trance,,.of the school are crackod Mr. McElroy reported. Coping Separated "The top coping," he continued, "is about an inch away from where it should be. On the northeast comer, eight courses of brick are cracked and the top coping there, too, is about an inch away. At the side entrance I found cracks all down along the lc?rer part. As this is on the poinfe side, I am afraid that the porch will have to be replaced if It is allowed to go too far. "The paint on the wooden cop- ing is chipped. In, the basement, the situation is very bad. During- rain storms, the -water comes down the coal shoots and there is a regular shower in the jani- tors' .room every time it rains, so there is water there most of the time." Continuing his report, Mr. Mc- Elroy said: "Every time it rains water comes into the principal's office so that it is necessary to catch the drippings in a bucket. As a result the plaster, especially ' around the windows, is chipping." "A-leak has developed in the kindergarten, along-side the prin- cipal's office, and the juvenile- styled wallpaper is streaked all the way down. "In the boys' toilet room there is a good size crack in the wall and the tile is cracked cross-wise. There is also a break in the hall above the girls' toilet. There is a very bad crack, broad and long, in the nurses' room." -~ Mr. McElroy related he climbed -o the roof, and described the 'roof conditions as very poor When I walked onto the roof and" accidentally kicked at the tar paper the watei; came up in a regular shower. The west half of the roof was still covered with water from the weekend rain- storm." The 'board member said he also made a tour of the Colonia School - and found conditions much betcar there, although the "chimney is cracked and there are cracked walls in the kindergarten and jloak rooms in Colonia." Registrations Taken For Vacation School AVENEL — Registrations will be taken beginning June 1 for the Vacation Church School to be held in the First Presbyterian Church from June 23 to July 3 between the hours of 9 o'clock and 12 noon Children between the ages of 4 ami junior high school age are eligible for enrollment, which can be made with all Sunday school officers.

M'Elroy SaysKindergarten,Office Faulty

AVENEL—Extensive structuraldeficiencies, including l e a k s ,cracked walls, undrained roof andflooded cellar, have been uncov-ered in the three-year-old Avenel'School, it was reported yesterdayby Leon E. McElroy, member ofthe Board of Education.

Mr. McElroy said he had heard "several rumors regarding c audi-tions at the new school and de-cided yesterday ta make a per-sonal investigation.

"I am of the opinion that un-less some of these faults are cor-1-acted, "immediately, that moreserious and costly damagre willresult," the 'Board member de-clared.

Mr. McElroy said he will takaup the -matter with" the Boardas soon as possible, tout does notbelieve the situation is a "deepdark secret as far as other boardmembers are concerned besauseI learned that Maurice P. Duni-gan (chairman of the committeethat had -charge of the constitu-tion of the school) and Aylinpierson, -Board architect, werein Avenel yesterday looking overthe situation." Mr. McElroy als>stated his opinion the situationhe found was not due to normal'settlement.

Mr. Pierson designed tooth theAvenel and Colonia Schools andsupervised the construction. Thegeneral' contractor was John *N.Waster, Metuchen. The AvenelSchool cost $240,000 and the Co-lonia School, $190,000.

Eleven courses of brick on thesoutheast corner of the main en-trance,,.of the school are crackodMr. McElroy reported.

Coping Separated"The top coping," he continued,

"is about an inch away from whereit should be. On the northeastcomer, eight courses of brick arecracked and the top coping there,too, is about an inch away. At theside entrance I found cracks alldown along the lc?rer part. Asthis is on the poinfe side, I amafraid that the porch will haveto be replaced if It is allowedto go too far.

"The paint on the wooden cop-ing is chipped. In, the basement,the situation is very bad. During-rain storms, the -water comesdown the coal shoots and thereis a regular shower in the jani-tors' .room every time it rains,so there is water there most ofthe time."

Continuing his report, Mr. Mc-Elroy said: "Every time it rainswater comes into the principal'soffice so that it is necessary tocatch the drippings in a bucket.As a result the plaster, especially 'around the windows, is chipping."

"A-leak has developed in thekindergarten, along-side the prin-cipal's office, and the juvenile-styled wallpaper is streaked allthe way down.

"In the boys' toilet room thereis a good size crack in the walland the tile is cracked cross-wise.There is also a break in the hallabove the girls' toilet. There isa very bad crack, broad and long,in the nurses' room." -~

Mr. McElroy related he climbed-o the roof, and described the'roof conditions as very poorWhen I walked onto the roof and"accidentally kicked at the tarpaper the watei; came up in aregular shower. The west half ofthe roof was still covered withwater from the weekend rain-storm."

The 'board member said he alsomade a tour of the Colonia School -and found conditions much betcarthere, although the "chimney iscracked and there are crackedwalls in the kindergarten andjloak rooms in Colonia."

:Editorial: 'OLD WINE, NEW BOTTLE'

1952's- The schools and colleges of the nation

are closing their doors once again and theadvent of commencement brings manyyoung men and women to the threshold ofthe great venture of life.

~Fpr, a number of years they have pursuedthe paths of learning, picking up informa-Jion^and experience through various schoolyears and now, at last, they are to receive

(their .^diplomas and step into the world of. grown-ups.;• They will find it vastly different from the" environment in which they have been nur-

tured. There will be no assignment of par-ticular tasks, with success surely crowningthe efforts of those who think and do well.In life, .unlike m schoool, meritorious per-Idrxnance is not always crowed with success

..and laurels.The high schools' of Middlesex County

.are graduating a fine crop of young men•and women. Many of them will continuetileir education at college but some will not

• have that privilege. They will go forth im-piediately to seek their economic fortunes

on. business endeavor, battling the variousforces that operate in the struggle forprofits.- Those of our graduates who have the

Graduatesopportunity of attending college are for-tunate, only if they make use of the addi-tional educational advantages that cometo them. Certainly, the training that collegelife affords is worth what it costs, in timeand money, but these benefits do not flowautomatically into the being of the stu-

' dent—they must",be earned by individualendeavor.

The graduates who have no chance tocontinue their studies in college-or specialschools need not accept any inferiority com-plex in regard to their classmates whostudy longer. While it is not to be deniedthat some advantages accrue to college-trained individuals, this is not conclusivein the struggle that engages adults in thefullness of their existence.

This newspaper wishes to congratulatethe students of our high schools who com-plete their courses this year and, at thesame time, to extend felicitations to thoseof this country who are completing theircollege careers. May all of them play the

' game of life fairly, earning just rewardsand rejoicing in the similar successes oftheir f ellowmen.

The Discovery of America, ,A fascinating story grew more interest-ing- recently, when encrusted pieces ofmetal were dug up by a party of amateurarcheologists near Dennis, Massachusetts.The site of the digging was selected by.Jjfe'derick J. Fohl, of Brooklyn, who dis-covered hole in rocks on a lake near Dennis•some time ago, which he identified as thosewhich probably held mooring irons used by•the Vikings. But the recent discoveries did

'" not* appear to be old enough to be of the.-.Viking era.

,. Mr. Pohl's theory was based on a study-. of old Viking manuscripts and a computa-•'tidn on his part which led him to believe"that the Vikings had landed on the shores•of Cape Cod years before Columbus sup-posedly discovered America.

Leif Ericson described:in Norse sagas theItal'e of a voyage he made in the year 1000when he was blown off course and landed

; on a.bare shore, dotted with grapevines.-He-named the place Vinland the Good, andit is believed thai Cape Cod, where the wild

"fox grapes still grow, best fits his descrip-

tion. Pohl went back into geological historyto discover that Cape Cod had appeared tobe an island back in the year 1000 and,therefore, ruled out an objection manyothers had stressed because of the refer-ence, in old Viking manuscripts, of thelanding place as an island.

Since the time of the Viking expedition,however, the water has receded in thatarea, ending the. appearance of Cape Codas an island at that point. So sure -wasMr. Pbhlof his computation that he wentto an area near Dennis some time ago andbegan his search for evidence of a Vikinglanding. It did not take him long- to findancient holes in the big rocks, which heconcluded to be holes to accommodatemooring irons, used by the Vikings.

The next step was the digging expeditionthis month, which turned up a broken adzeand a rusty iron spike and many half-rotten pilings sunk into the soil. These, itwas hoped by the 32 men and women ofthe Massachusetts Archeqlogical' Society,would provide positive proof that the Vik-ings'discovered America near the year 1000.

"'I-'-"--' , The S i n k i n g of. , Just thirty-seven years ago this month--the -passenger liner "Lusitania" was tor-rpedoed, without prior warning, by "a Ger-man submarine, and damaged so badly

1 t'hat it sank with the loss of eleven hun-^dred and fifty lives. This incident is gen-erally credited with having great influenceon the American people, and the governT

xaent's- decision to intervene in the firstWorld War against Germany.- An interesting, and sometimes over-

looked fact is that the German Ambassa-dor to the United States printed an adver-tisement in the newspapers before the Lusi-tania sailed from New York. The Ambassa- ~"dor..warned Americans, and all passengers,,-against traveling on the ship. Despite thiswarning, which was largely ignored by the

the LustitaiijLia ,, :-:r^.;:: :-:ry:passengers aboard, few people.expected thegreat passenger liner to be attacked.

Therefore, as the great ship neared Liver-pool, off the coast of Ireland, it seemed tomany that the warning might have been auseless precaution. As the ship passed OldHead Kinsdale,off the Irish coast, a Ger-man submarine suddenly struck the bigship a fatal blow. Though the loss of a shipthe "size of the Lusitania was a blow to Eng-land, the net result of the action was toshock the civilized world and bring aboutwidespread condemnation of Germany andthe Kaiser. - : :• - ;

Thus, looking back thirty-seven years,one can see that the tragedy of the Lusi-tania proved to be a German defeat, andthat the lives lost were not lost entirelyin vain. :

Genera! Ike' All Set for Home Fray(From the regrujar Tuesday

broadcast, "The Christian ScienceMonitor Views the News," overthe American Broadcasting Com-pany network.)

By Erwin D. Cannam.','in. Paris, last week, I had noplan to visit General Eisenhower.I knew there was no chance toget a newspaper. interview withhim, since he has a rigid, ruleagainst exclusive quotations. Butafter my job as a delegate to theInternational Press Institute wasfinished, Joseph C. Harsch of TheCJiristian Science Monitor and Ihad" nearly half an hour inten-sive and informative conversa-jqii with the general.

I cannot tell you hat he said.But I can assure you that thegeneral appeared to be in thepink of health and spirits; thathe had sharp and precise viewson all matters of domestic con-troversy which Mr. Harsch and Iput up to him; and that he ap-pears perfectly ready to enter theAmerican political fray.

It is my impression that whenGeneral Eisenhower returns tothe United Staiesnin two weeks,he will deliver" impressivespeeches which will'- give theAmerican people • a pretty good -idea of where he stands on most •questions. •"-' • .

He will doubtless not commenton lots" of details—what hethinks, for example, of clause 23In the Taft-Hartley Law. But Iam sure he will outline his posi-tion on labor relations and laborlegislation, and that it will be asprecise as party platforms usual-

ly: are, and more precise thansome of them.

But these last few weeks inParis are not. particularly com-fortable ones for General Eisen-hower. He is still in uniform,still trying to do the^SHAPE job.He does not relish the commit-ments being made in his name bypoliticians back in the UnitedStates. He does not pretend tounderstand the ins and outs ofAmerican polities. He does nothave time to see all the visitingfiremen who beat a path to hisheadquarters. Most of them don'tget in—Mrs. Harsch and I werevery fortunate in having a pri-vate talk. *

He seems to be made uncom-fortable by much of the adula-tion poured on him. But he isspending all the time he can inthinking about domestic prob-lems, in assimilating the suggesttions being made to him, in pre-paring for the ordeal .and thetask he faces when his planetouches down in the UnitedStates. :

St * % • ' •

It was a reasonably relaxedman, and a thoroughly poisedman, "who sat quietly in an easychair in his simple headquartersoutside Paris, as' we talked withhim—and listened to him. -Gen-eral Eisenhower is a nonsmoker,so he does not constantly fidgetwith a pipe and matches, as dosome public men .arid generals Ihave interviewed. He concen-trates intensely on.the subject,and he spe'aks with great inten-sity, fluency, and feeling. •

Those opponents "who have

been figuring that General Eisen-hower will have difficulty in ex-pressing, his views on domesticcontroversies have another thinkcoming-. His' views may lose himthe votes of some now supportinghim; they may sain him the sup-port of some critics; but they willbe precise and sharp views—ifwhat the general said to us isany sample..

But the general is a middle-roader, a man of moderation. Hefeels the American people in-stinctively distrust both extremes—the socialistic left and the re-actionary right. And he intendsto sail down the middle.

Meantime, the general is still,able to play a good game of golf,to enjoy his lunch, and to lookforward with lively animation tothe stirring experience just aheadof him.

Off the cuff iri The Hague,General Eisenhower corrected thephrase of the Dutch Prime -Min-ister who said he-aspired to thehighest office the United States*could bestow. The general re-plied: "I aspire to no public of-fice in the United States, and willonly accept one out of a sense ofduty. That sense of duty mustfre communicated to me by thegreat political party to- which Ihave given such allegiance-as asoldier can." To those who thinkGeneral Eisenhower will havetroubles in his press conferences,I commend that, statement as animpromptu comment.

It still appears likely that Sen-ator Taft will go into Chicagowith a little "over 500 votes; that

WelgM Of Opinion In State l s f

That Police Ani Firemen's- • Salaries Are

Under the Capitol DomeBy J. Joseph Grlbbsus

TRENTON—New "jersey votersare being asked to approve an-other $25,000,000 bond issue atthe November 4 general election,but the-amount does not.includethe. cost of a, new State Prison

. which Governor Alfred E. Dris-coll and State penologists con-sider the Number One project ofthe State.

Sanford Bates, State Commis-sioner of Institutions and Agen-cies, claims the funds from thesecond $25,000,000 bond issue,which is awaiting" approval ofthe voters have already been al-located for new constructionelsewhere. He suggests that per- .haps, the voters should, be given

,J ^^"lerichancftjiext.year to yoteon -whether they desire a new$10,000,000 maximum securityprison to be built, in some ruralarea of New Jersey.

Since the series of riots byconvicts at the State Prison andRailway Prison farm last month,Commissioner Bates has delvedinto plans already set up tospend the $25,000,000 expected tobe approved next November. Herecently told the State , PrisonInquiry Committee that only$2,500,000 of the amount couldbe taken for needed prison build-ings which is not sufficient tobuild a modern penitentiary. Totake the entire 810,000,000 fromthe amount would forego otherimprovements contemplated atmental hospitals? feeble-mindedhomes and other institutions,, hesaid. , ;: •

In addition to structural addi-tions to the above institutions,

, plans call for the construction ofa new cell block at RahwayPrison Farm to accommodate 165convicts. Each cell, will ...have-..awindow facing east. At Borden-town Reformatory, constructionof a new wing is -underway.". Itwill contain disciplinary -cells,",ahospital section and recreationrooms.

Next year, State institutionofficials plan to construct an ad-ministration building at RahwayPrison Farm if the voters ap-prove the $25,000,000 bond issuein November. This building wasplanned fifty years ago but fundswere never made available for itsconstruction. Together 'with anew dormitory, it will cost $40O!,-000. An $800,000 cell block atBordentown Reformatory is also

planned. At Annandale Reforma-tory it is planned to build amaximum security building tohouse the boys who insist uponrunning away.

PAY RAISE: Rioting convictsat the State Prison and RahwayPrison Farm who complained ofconditions in general in their re-spective institutions, are begin-ning to win their battle for adecent living behind bars.

Effective at once the employedconvicts will receive 12 cents perday, a raise of two cents, for theirwork in the prison shops. StateBudget Director J. Lindsay deValiiere has authorized SanfordBates, State Commissioner of In-stitutions and Agencies, to ex-ceed the $15,000 appropriationearmarked this. year for convictpay.

Because of the authorization,Commissioner^ Bates expects toput mors convicts to work at theprison and Rahway becauseheretofore prison officials havebeen trying to keep within theamount appropriated.

Many more convicts are put towork in the prison shops makingvarious products than are neededsimply because of the therapeu-tic value of employment. Thecurse of most walled prisons isidleness. Products manufacturedat the prison have a restrictedmarket because they may only besold to other State agencies andnot on the open market.

However, in Federal peniten-tiaries where the output is dis-tributed to the Army and Navyproducts can be turned out asfast as m private industry. ,

UNEMPLOYED PAY:' Effec-tive July 1 unemployment com-pensation and disability insur-ance payments for New Jerseyworkers will go up to $30 weeklyfrom $26 maximum. The sameformula for figuring benefits asnow in the law will be used untilDecember 31 next.

Another important change willalso be effective on July 1 forthe State's millions of workers.Under the old'•law,' claimantshave a waiting period of oneweek for which unemploymentinsurance benefits are not pay-able. Under the new law afterthree successive weeks of com-pensable unemployment immedi-ately following the waiting week,benefits will be paid retroactively

for the waiting period.This applies only to unemploy-

ment insurance as no change inthis respect has been made inthe Temporary Disability Bene-fits Laws.

After July 1 workers are ad-vised to keep a record of all em-ployers, with addresses, by whomthey are employed and on eachday make a notation of grossweekly wages received.

DRINKING SIGNS: Signs ontaverns warning motorists it istheir last chance to have a drinkbefore entering on the New Jer-sey Turnpike are outlawed inNew Jersey,. ;

Edward J. Dorton, Acting StateABC Director, turned thumbsdown on a sign reading "Last Barbefore Turnpike" which the pro-prietor of a Sayreville Tavernplanned to place upon his estab-lishment. |

"Too much danger lurks in theprospect of drinking on thehighway to allow any tavern-keeper to maintain a sign of thistype," claims Dorton. "Urgingmotorists, bound for the fast-moving turnpike, to come in for

\a drink because yours is the last'bar on the way is contrary toelemental principles of .modernliquor control.

"Unlike warning the motoristof the last stop for gasoline orfood, no social purpose is servedby warning him that here is hislast chance to do some drinkingon this stretch of highway. Tothe contrary, it performs a dis-tinct disservice to the public in-terest in its grim bargaining fortangled wreckage, broken limbsand lost lives."

BY KENNETH FINK, DIREC-TOR, PRINCETON RESEARCHSERVICE

(PRINCETON — TWO out ofevery five adult residents of thestate of New Jersey believe thatthe salaries paid to policemen

and firemen in their own com-munities are too low.

Those who share this opinionoutnumber by a margin of morethan 4 to 3 those who believethe pay is about right.

Only 1 in a 100 interviewed intoday's survey thinks fhe salar-ies of his community's policemenand firemen are too high.

At the same time, nearly 1 outof every 3 people express noopinion on the matter, of policeand firemen's pay.

These were the findings whenNew Jersey Poll staff reporterspersonally asked the followingquestion of an accurate cross-section of the state's adult resi-dents: .

"Would you say that the sala-ries paid to policemen and fire-men in your (community) at thepresent time are too low, toohigh, or about right?"

Too high 1%Too low 40About right 28No opinion : 31Highlight of today's survey

findings is that in every singlepopulation group examined thenumber who think the pay is toolow outnumbers those who sayit's about right.

These groups include Republi-cans, Democrats, and Indepen-dent voters; men and women;home owners and home renters,as well as all age groups, citysizes, occupations, and educa-tional levels.

Three other interesting find-ings emerge from today's survey.

One is that more home ownersthan home renters throughout

, the state say that police andfiremen's salaries are too low.

the other population groups ex-amined are relatively minor.These groups include all citysizes, age groups, occupations,and political parties.

. If you love roses, but do nothave the time or the patience toio the spraying, beetle picking,>eding, cultivating, pruning andfall mulching necessary to growoeautiful Hybrid Tea roses, don't,rive'up the idea of roses alto-gether. Try some of thfe old fash-oned roses that require little care.

No matter where you live, youvill find1 many old-fashioned roseshat need no more coddling than/ou would give forsythias or lilacs.

When you plant old-fashionedoses as you would any ordinary;hrub, .in a sizeable hole rilled invith good garden loam. Add tohis loam a reasonable quantity of.iwxms, m the form of well-rotted.nanure, and a few handfuls ofx>ne meal.

Shrub roses quite often need novpraying at all the entire season.The pruning is a simple chore, too—give them the same amount ofpruning as ordinary.shrubs. How-;ver, if you grow old-fashioned:oses for their blooms, you shouldmine them more severely.

The more highly developed old-'ashioned roses, like the HybridPerpetuals and hybrids of the Mossind Cabbage, require more fertili-ser. These should toe fertilized in,he early syring and shortly afterblooming. :

SCREEN"My Six Convicts."

Based on the best-seller, writtenby Donald Powell Wilson and withits scenes laid in San Quentinprison, this film tells of the au-thor's experiences during a pro-fessional3'study of drug, addictionmade in the early 1930's'for theUnited States Public Health Ser-vice. It provides for the layman aserio-comic and absorbing accountof disparate personalities and ofthe details of life 'behind the bars.

Millard Mitchell has the role ofan ironic safecracker;* Gilbert Ro-land, one of the matinee idols ofthe silent cinema, is a revelationin the role of the vicious overlordof the lugs in the cells. John Bealis credible and forthright as thepUzzled doctor, the psychologistwho makes the study in the prison.

"The Wild North." ;.Employing a new color film, this

.film is pictorially exciting, as itscameras roam around the snow-clad wastes and among the ice-bound Crags and majestic peaksof the Canadian Northwest- There

General Ike will not have quiteso many; and that the decisionwill come when the Hncoaimatteddelegates begin to ' turn. Cali-fornia, Pennsylvania, Michiganmay tell the story. But at themoment it's uncertain, and thenext big news will concern thegeneral's' impact on the UnitedStates when he returns.

CANADA'S DOLLARAlmost impossible these days

to find a Canadian newspaperwithout an editorial or a state-ment by somebody crowing overthe fact that our dollar hastopped Uncle Sam's.

This crowing is human; under-standable. But before 'it con-tinues too long or to loudly itmight be well for more of us toask ourselves why this dollarposition has come about.

Asking 'ourselves,. trying to getan honest, realistic answer, we

would have to admit that our-dollar hasn't topped its Yankeebrother because of anything es-pecially wi e or wonderful thatwe ourselves have done, but ac-tually becauss of some-wist1 andwonderful things our Americanneighbors have done.

After World War II, the UnitedStates showed -itself to be whatEngland showed itself to be after"the Napoleonic wars: a nationwilling to pour out its credit torestore prosperity to the world.Billions wers voted by Congressto be sent $11 over the earth; so ,much that the London Economist..wrote that never before in the '.world's history had a great world.,pov-'er shown more of generosity..

Canada's exports grew. They,grsw becauss American gifts to •Europe under Marshall "Aid en- . 'abied Europe to buy Canada'sgaods; we we:e able to sell prod- •uets of our fields .and mines andfcresos and factories t>ecause'other countries, their own pros-perity revived, could buy them.

Later Americans fcegan pour-ing money into Canada to invest,in our oil pnd our ircn ere. mak-ing possible something which WJourselves had n~Ji t-en able tomake so soon—as-a direct conse-quence our dollar ross above theUnited States dollar.

To sum UD, the eminence ofCanada's dollar today is due al-most entirely to two things:

(1) The fact that -the UnitedStates has been accepting" its re-sponsibility as the world's lead-ing creditor nation, and

(2) Pouring surplus funds intoCanada for investment and,de-velopment.

Hardly something, we suggest,to bring on our part a national- •istic pride, which at best is ju-venile.—Ottawa Journal

OND-UPBy Johnme ivoylc

By Johnnie Royle *It appears as though Herb Hollowell is on the

threshold,-of becoming'Woodbridge High's greatest all-around athlete since the late Alby Leffler wore the redand bjack colo.rs during the late '30's. Only a junior,HplloweU has one more full year to develop into, avarsity football and basketball star. As for track, hehas already arrived with the reputation of being thegreatest tra,ck star ever* to represent the Barrons inthe field events. To back up. the new tag placed on hishusky shoulders, he can boast of tabulating morepoints in one season than any previous Woodbridgeite,and he still has two, additional meets in which to addto his present total now up around 70. Hollowell's spe-cialties are the broad jump, high jump, and discus. Hiscoach, Lou Gabriel, claims he eeuld place, and possiblywin. at least three other events, but scholastic ruleslimit each participant to three events during a meet.

Last fall the versatile junior got off to a slow starton the gridiron, but before the season reached its con-clusion, Hollowell had,arrived as a future star. Whenthe autumn leaves begin to fall in September, we arelooking for big Herb to be in George Gerek's startinglineup since he has the potentialities to make a betterthan average football player. -—

The same situation exists on the floorboards wherehe spent the biggest part of the last winter on thebench due to a veteran starting five. However, heshowed enough promise at the tail end, of the cam-paign to draw Johnny Tomczuk's attention, and hebrbip him into the lineup more frequently. From whatwe've seen of him, it's going to be difficult to keep theaggressive Barron ©n the bench for another season.

Although you may not be an ardent track fan, itwould prove worthwhile to trek over to the stadiumMonday afternoon to witness Hollowell performagainst Carteret—he's terrific. •

Little ^eagwe Rapidly Becoming Community ProjectIt's encouraging to witness the'-Little League becom-

ing a community project in "Woodbridge and Fordswhere the circuits are now operating under nationalfranchises. In both .leagues there are a total of 20teams and each one is sponsored by a civic organiza-tion, businessman, or -church, which automaticallycreates an interest in various categories. Last Saturdaywe became aware of the vast interest in the kids whenmembers of the Recreation and Road Departments,local citizens, and members of the Little League organ-ization turned out in strength to prepare the St.James field for the season's opener which was sched-uled for last Sunday but cancelled because of rain.The group worked on the diamond all day Saturdayin an effort to have it well groomed for the followingday.

Dudic's Browns shut out theLions Club Tigers' 7-0 behind thesuperb 'three-hit pitching of EddieChester. The contest was playedat the Keasbey diamond.'

Chester, the 'BroWhs' moundartist, was at his "best, fanningeleven batters and walking threepluring his six-inning stint. He wasnever in trouble as he 'breezedthrough the game. Some heads-updefensive play on the part of his?team-mates protected his shut-out.

The Browns bunched all theirscoring in."the 'fourth and fifthinnings. William Handerhan'ssingle in the fourth frame was theijilow which highlighted trie tftree-|uix rally. In the fifth; Dunn ledoff with a walk and was advancedto third when Bandis doubled, tocenter. Chester then blasted at'wb-bagger to' left to send' bothrunners racing around third withtwo" runs.

George Mazur, the Tigers' cen-ter fielder, was the only player inthe game to collect^w.o hits. "

most generous man on e*arth."v'How's that?"

"Well, I gave Mm a dozen ofthe Joyeliest ties for 'Chrislmas,and he took them right down'andgave them to the Salvation Army."

Then, the Barrons came to bat intheir half of the fifth to burn upthe 'base pa.ths with a seven-runscoring'spree to knot the tally, at3-8. The records show Woodbridgeaccomplished the amazing rally onone hit. '

An error in. the top of the eighthAllowed Petro to waltz home withthe tie-breaking run.

The win was awarded'to Petrofor his efforts on the'mountt, whilethe defeat was handed to Joe TJr;the Barrons' starter.

A three-run rally in the top halfof the seventh inning paved theway for Wscislo's 9-8 decision overMblriars at the Oak Tree field.

After tabulating seven runs inthe wild i-fourth frame, Molnarsappeared to be well on their wayto'victory with a presumably safe3-5 lead. However, the Hopelawnnine narrowed the gap to an 8-6count in the sixth stanza andcame through with three big tal-lies in, the top of the seventh to goout front. A triple by Fedor anda single by Kreidle were the de-cisive 'blows of the inning.

SHUTOUT OFPLAYOFF'S:

WOODBRIDGE—ALhough un-der way only two weeks, the com-petition in the Township Recrea-tion Junior League reached afeverish pitch as the Mroz Tigers,Braves, and Alibani Sea Ports wentall out to extend their victoryskeins in the circuit. ' :"

The Mroz nine received somegood'pitching lay Charles Hull topost a: 5-3 verdict over the Bob-cats in a well played game at thePort Reading, field. "-'.' ' '

Hull was at-his best from thecenter, of the diamond, scattering0ve hits and striking out .10. bat-ters over "the seven inning, course.His only bad frame was the sixthwhen the Bobcats accounted fortwo runs "to knot fihe score at 3-3.

The Tigers won the^ contest inthe toottpin of the sixth with a': tworun outburst. A base on balls toBob Cun'a" and successive hits byMagee, Dxagost, a'nd'AcQ.uila wereresponsible for the tallies.

In" addition to. his pitchingachievements, Hull was the lead-ing performer in the' batter's boxwith three hits' in" fbur''attempts.

Two runs in the top. of theseventh Orcke up a scoreless pitch-ing, battle aha gave the Bravesa 2-1 decision over the "Cyclphes.The game, was played at the OakStreet field. ' " ' ' • • " • • •

Steuber," the Braves' versatilec.huckef, was. at his best from thediamond podiuni, -giving up. justtwo spaced, hits during the game.However, he was deprived of ashut out in the seventh when awalk, a fielders choice, and anerror allowed a singlerun to score.

Gives'Up "6 Hits

Superak, the Cyclones' moundcandidate, twirled 'a "conimendablegame, although he was nicked forsix hits. His clutch pitching pre-vented the Braves from crossingthe plate until the last inning.

The pay blows in the seventhframe which gave the Braves then-runs came off the bats of Alex-ander, -vyho lined. a triple, andKalapos who. singled. .

The Ali'bahrsea Ports encoun-tered little difficulty trouncing theSpartans 13-rinTone of the'high-est scoring games of the infantseason. The contest was played atthe Fords Park diamond.

Aside from the Sea Ports'" heavyhitting, the bright spot in thegame was the two hit twirling ofBob Fratterdo, who had commandof the tussle all the way to earnthe victory.

The Port Reading crew scoredin every frame and made the sixththeir biggest by driving four baserunners across the plate. Malloywas the team's top batter withtwo safeties—a single and double.
