F O R B S — Action on theordinance regulating the hoursthat gas stations may remain openin the Township was postponeduntil Monday night at eighto'clock, after Senator John E.Toolan, representing a group ofstation operators on the highways,appeared before the TownshipCommittee and voiced objections,

4o the yassegc- oi t&« "maSayV.. • - ,The probability is, however, that

no action will be taken by theTownship.

The ordinance provides that gasstations may remain open from 7A. M. to 7 P. M., on weekdays andmust remain closed all day on Sun-day.

Senator Toolan said that he"questioned, the wisdom of suehrigid hours" and that it "wouldimpose a hardship on the dealerslocated, on-the two highways whorely ort Sunday trade."

The Senator also pointed out"that the 'State Coordinator hadsuggested a 72 hour limit on gasstations with no more than twelvehours in "any one day but he"leaves it to the operators to settheir hours and the days of weekthey wish to remain open."

"Mark Time""The people I ' represent," he

continued, "feel that they willhave to abide with any regulationsset forth by the federal govern-ment. It is going feo be a little bitdifficult if the national govern-ment has. one set of rules'and theTownship another. I respectfullysubmit the suggestion that the or-dinance be temporarily deferred.If all of us mark time what nowappears to be a problem.may-notbe a • problem in a couple ofweeks:"

of seven "ration units" of gaso-line during the six and a half weekperiod from May 15 to June 30.The average car-owner who doesnot use his car for business or todrive to work will receive Card Awithout the necessity of filling outany application forms -whatever.

to purchase as much gasoline as'he needs. It will be given only tophysicians, surgeons, nurses, os-teopaths, chiropractors, veterinar-ians, ministers, government agen-cies, ambulances, hearses, taxis,buses, and/truck and delivery cars.-

SugarHere Is CBig DraftQuota GoesJ u n e ^

Sixty Per Cent OfUnit Will Consist OfThird. Draft Registrants

WOOD<BRiED:GE—-The next tothe largest draft contingent in theTownship will leave Woodbridgeon June 19, Eugene Bird, secre-tary of the Draft Board, announcedtoday.

Of the number to go, sixty perent will be from the third draft

—those who registered last Feb-ruary-

At a meeting of the county draftboards Wednesday night, the localboard, together with the otherunits, protested against the systemof physical examinations and in-ductions on the same day.

Protest System

The local board pointed oui, uu.-27 men of the April quota were re-turned to the Township'and 24came back Wednesday from theMay quota. Members of the boardpointed out that it works an undue-hardship on the men who are re-jected. The names are publicized,they stated, before they go andwhen they are sent back they areasked many personal questions byinquisitive persons. Then, too, theboard'members said, most of themen give up their jobs, are givenfarewell parties and in some casesare presented with bonuses bytheir employers. All-of it provesembarrassing if they are turneddown after the physical examina-tions. *

«Col. Rhoafles, who representedthe Selective Service Departmentof the State, declared that the sys-tem was not put into effect by theSelective Service but by the WarDepartment at the request of theAdjutant General..

"He must have had some reasonfor making such a request," saidCol. Rhoades.

However, an extension of time isbeing granted to those who musthave time to wind up their affairs.Instead of a ten-day furloughgranted heretofore, a fifteen dayfurlough will be allowed.

Four-Day Census Fin-. ished By Jeachers In

. Historic War Effort .Registration of all local resi-

dents .under the sugar rationingprogram was completed at 8 •o'clock last night.

This important phase of the wareffort was handled by members ofthe school system, with the prin-cipals in charge of each buildingand the teachers taking the censusof the population and issuiag WarRation Book No. 1. This was thefirst time in the history of thecountry that a registration of thisproportion has ever been made,and the fact that it was completedso thoroughly arid efficiently istestimony of the patriotic co-op-eration of both the citizenry andthe school staff. •

In Woodbridge Township, thetotal number registered was27,696, with the peak coming onthe second day, Tuesday, when8,944 signed. On Monday, thefigure was 6,912; Wednesday,6,874; and yesterday, 5,066.

In Raritan Township, the totalregistration was 11,100. The peakenrollment was on" Tuesday when3,672 signed up for their sugarcards. On Monday, the figure was2,753; on Wednesday, 2,816 andyesterday, 1,859.

Value of StampUnder the present rationing;

schedule, the first stamp is goodfor one pound of sugar during thefirst two-week rationing period.The second, third and fourthstamps will have an equivalentvalue, but i t is possible after thefourth rationing period that a dif-ferent value may be given a stamp.It may either cover a longer periodor it may permit purchase of asmaller or larger amount of sugar.Any combination of these possi-bilities also may result. •..•'••• ••:... Anyone who. failed to receive !

his.;War Ration Book durihg-the:four days of this .week::wilFvbe:;unable to obtain one until twoweeks have passed. He then mustapply to the Local RationingBoard.

It is believed that the total reg-istration figure does not representan accurate population census forthe community because of the factthat many people were known tohave a surplus of sugar beyondthe limit allowed. They, there-fore, will use that surplus andwhen it is depleted may obtain,their book from the rationingboard. :

Arrangements for the registra-tion were made by the CountySuperintendent of Schools and theCounty Rationing Authority inconjunction with the local schoolsystem and the local rationingboard. Their next task will bethe registration for gasoline whichwill be held on Tuesday, Wednes-day and Thursday of next week.The rationing board will obtainthe necessary forms from theCounty Clerk either on Saturdayor Monday, the number to be de-termined by the County Authorityon the basis of a special formulawhich is being prepared. .S ,

How New Restrictions

on Telephone Service

TO SAVE WAR MATERIAL

may affect you , •' ...

c_ i ERT AIN government restrictions on telephoneservice and equipment are now in effect. Thereason for them is simple and complete—to savematerials needed to fight the war. -'.

Where telephones are now in service, they mean-no change except that you might in some placesand under some circumstances have to have an-other party on your line. And you'can't"get anextension telephone in your home if you haven'tone already.

For people who have no telephones and wantthem, we shall supply them wherever there arenow enough lines and switchboards," But generally,where new construction would be necessary, weshall not be able to provide service.

This will mean inconvenience and perhaps hard-ship to a few people now and to more people astime goes on, but we ask your fullest co-operationin this important step to save the maximum ofmaterials for the war. Besides the great savingsin materials already made- by substitution andwartime engineering, the new restrictions willmean that more lead, iron, steel, zirfc, copper andrubber will now go into arms.

While telephone service may not be available toall who want it, we believe we can keep the service.up to a high standard. At any rate, we shall doour level best. Neither the government nor thetelephone companies is responsible for these ser-vice difficulties. They are part of the price ofwinning the war.

STRANDWallace Beery is definitely in

his own. territory as a tough topsergeant with a heart of gold, inMe,trorGoldwyn-Mayer's "The Bu-te Sounds," story of a newJ

mechanized army, which opens at;he Strand, Theatre. , .• The action is strictly, authentic,

approved by the War Department,which permitted two camera crewsto. accompany regular army troopson maneuvers at Fort Knox, Ky.,and Fort Lewis, Wash., respective-ly. Beery journeyed to Fort Ordfor actual scenes with the tankcorps. Accordingly, when an ava-lanche of roaring tanks careen-across the screen, it is the realthing.

The story presents Beery as afirst sergeant of cavalry- with' arecord of 29 years in the service.He's a slave-driver and a martinet,but his men worship him and he isa comfort to his superior officers.

Beery swaggers through the rolewith such realistic effect that sev-ei*ali enlisted men in the audienceducked involuntarily when he bel-lowed.

Robert Cummings, Ronald Reaganand Betty Field are starred andthe featured cast w headed by-Charles Cotmrn, Judith Anderson,Claude Rains, Nancy Coleman,Maria Ouspenskaya, Harry Daven-port and Kaaren Verne.

Scouts Enjoy Scavenger HuntThe Scouts of Troop 51 recently

were surprized at meeting with ascavenger hunt as part of theirregular meeting. Assistant Scout-master N. Nielsen was in charge ofthe hunt.

Since the attendance on thatnight was below average, theScouts were divided into twogroups, under the leadership ofWilliam Lehman and Robert Masc-nik. The leaders were given thelists of items to be secured andthe hunt was under way.

When the Scouts returned tothe meeting room at nine o'clock,the leaders checked the items se-cured. After totaling the scoresof the two. teams, it was foundthat by a very close decision ScoutLehman and his group had won.The first prize was a large box ofmints to be divided among thewinning team, and the runner-upScouts also received an edibleprize.

Lion Patrol Receives AxesThe members of the Lion Pa-

trol were presented at a recentmeeting with the axes purchasedfrom patrol funds. The moneyhad been raised by newspaper andother waste paper sales. Themembers decided that each ofthem should receive a Scout axe

as his share in the patrol. Scout- jmaster Gilsdorf awarded the axesto the Scouts and complimentedthem as a patrol for buying indi-vidual items.

Camporee NewsNow that spring is here, Camp-

oree time is rapidly approaching.Many Scouts look forward to theannual prevue of summer camp.The Boy Scout leaders announcedthat they consider the Camporeeinvaluable because it prepares theScout for summer camp in addi-tion to introducing new Scoutsto the joys of camping. It is ashort, inexpensive method of ac-quainting Scouts with the out-doors.

Plans have been begun for thisyear's camporee, although notmuch information is available asto the location. Scouts are toldto prepare for it because it bene-fits them as well as the committeeto have a well-prepared group.

asked whether he had anything tosay on the subject. He declared:

"I have a great deal of respectfor the opinion of the Senator.I think he always approaches aquestion in the right spirit. Butlet me rehearse the story behindthis problem. .At the request ofthe local Defense Council a meet-ing was called in this very room.Sixty or 70 gas operators attend-ed. There were arguments proand con. With, one or two excep-tions they agreed to the 7 to 1schedule and closing on • Sundays.That was an attempt to bringabout a policy created by the De-fense Council, which in Wood-bridge is also the Rationing board,to control gas as much as possi-ble. We meet every Monday andFriday afternoons. We have beenvery careful in handing out ourquota of tires. Only one newautomobile has been released."

Reached AgreementContinuing Mr. McElroy said:"We thought that we had come

to a definite • agreement with theoperators. It worked all right fora week or two. Then one opera-tor opened from 9 to 9, anotherfrom 8 to 8. Talking about the

suggestions, made by the state is'all right, but I don't know of anyoperator who was hauled on thecarpet for being open more than.7-2 hours a week.

"We Are At War""I don't believe yet that very

many of our people realize thiscountry is at war. They go ontheir serene way when asked tomake a sacrifice. The boys inBataan and Australia gave theirall to uphold this country and themen who are doing business here.Whether you want to know it ornot there is a gas shortage. Mr".Ickes has said it will be worse.Operators on the superhighwayhad to. close last month becausethey had exhausted their April'quota. The lid will be clampeddown more this month.

"I also feel that when rationingcards come, motorists are goingto gas up in their home town—if they venture out. A motoristliving1 in Woodbridge will notleave Woodbridge before he getshis quota of gas. It is perfectlyproper for this committee to' regu-

Agrees To Postponement ,"In view of the emergency this

ordinance should have favorableconsideration. However, I sug-gest that the hearing on the or-dinance be postponed one week tosee what the government will doabout the rationing."

Senator Toolan then asked per-mission to speak again and statedthat he "endorsed the sentimentsof the Township Attorney. I knowhim to be absolutely honest andsincere. I don't question his mo-tives but disagree with his judg-ment in this particular matter. Theeffect of this ordinance would beto discriminate against your owntownspeople - . . the net resultwould be that operators in/ thesame line of business in othercommunities would get the bus-iness.

War Transportation ProblemNew Jersey, in common with many

other states in the Nation, faces a serioustransportation crisis. The shortage of tiresand the impending -rationing of gasoline isbound to curtail sharply during the com-ing months the use of thousands of pri-vately-owned automobiles now: carryingwar .workersto and from their places ofemployment.

No sudden change for the better can beaxpected in the present serious rubber •andgasoline situation. As privately-ownednotor cars gradually disappear from theroads of the State for the duration, thejroblem created is bound to become in-creasingly; acute. Its solution, accordingco the experts, will require the systematicstaggering of business, working and schoolhours to relieve overcrowding of streets

d highways. The traffic load heretoforecarried by thousands of motor cars willh.ave to be shifted to public carriers, suchis the railroads, buses and trolley cars.omparatively short rush-hour periods

must be spread over a longer period of;ime. , . . .

The New Jersey War TransportationCommittee, recently appointed by Gover-lor Edison to deal with this problem, hasgotten off to a good start. This committee,consisting of transportation experts andrepresentatives of labor, industry, and theschool system of the State, is hard at work.This committee was appointed as the re-sult of efforts to solve the war-time trans-portation problem recently initiated by;he New. Jersey State Chamber of Com-nerce. The State Chamber already hadlone considerable research and organiza-;ional work in the effort to meet the situa-ion.

Any breakdown in local transportationfacilities will seriously interfere with NewJersey's important part in the war pro-gram. Every person in this State shouldcooperate with the Governor's Committeein its efforts to .develop the mass transpor-tation facilities so essential to war produc-;ion and to the maintenance of essentialcivilian activities.

Patents And WarSince the days of the Yankee; tinker;er,

patents have encouraged inventors to in-dent, manufacturers to manufacture andnvestors to invest in new enterprise.

The American Patent System hasplayed an important role in the develop-nent of our industrial civilization and ourilgh standard of living. Now inventionswrought forth under its stimulus will helpwin the war and preserve our civilization.

Every invention which can contribute;o yictory must be fully utilized in our all->ut war effort. If Congress finds it neces-sary to enact special patent legislation toichieve this purpose, it should make cer-ain that the laws passed will not perma-lently weaken the incentive to inventionmd to the development of new industriesrom inventions. We shall need patents"or prosperity tomorrow.

Certainly this is not the time to "over-laul the patent system," as some Congress-nen have suggested. The bill.on whichlearings are now 'being held by the Senate?atent Committee is advanced as "war legi-slation/' but its major provision wouldistablish permanent compulsory licensing)f patents. Proposed legislation of thismture has been considered and discarded>y Congress at least five times in the lasthirty years.

America's No. 1 job now is to win thevar. Neither Government nor industry:an afford to take time out now to settleuch a controversial issue.

net ease Crops 100 Per Cent?From the meeting- of the American

Jhemieal Society, recently concluded inMemphis, Tenn., comes the news of a'powerful hormone", which increased theiroduction of some crops as much as "100ier cent."

The matter is important if true. Theompound, Ievulinic acid, stimulates theTowth of such important agricultural«lants as cotton, soy beans, corn, oats, al-jilfa, cow peas, beets and^grasses.

•Silver Bullets"Save and serve for victory!"—that is

the battle cry in plants and factories allover thet country today. Industry is notover the .country today. Industry is notweapons of war but is also waging an all-out effort to promote the sale of WarBonds.

Already more than 80 per cent of the8,000 firms representing the membershipof the National Association of Manufac-turers have payroll savings plans in oper-ation. The majority of officers and em-ployees have invested heavily-and are now•being asked to invest as much more than10 per cent of their incomes as they pos-sibly can.

We all have to do our part in winningthis war. Hoarding money keeps weaponsfrom our fighting men. Our efforts to armthem must know no waste, no squanderingof assets. In this struggle the idle dollar islike a soldier asleep at his post.

A War Bond is an investment for thefuture. Ten per cent of a yearly incomeis a small loan to the maintenance of ourglorious traditions and to our effort to seethat these traditions and our Americanway of life shall continue. Our contribu-tion toward such a cause transcends obli-gation and sacrifice. It is only our dutyto respond to our nation's cry in time ofneed; it is our privilege—a privilege toshare in the attainment of the victory towhich we are pledged.

Winning this war is going to take themightiest effort America has ever made—in men, in materials, and in money! Everydime is a silver bullet, every dollar thewings of our planes, to be turned againstthe foe.

The Vichy FleetA large portion of the Vichy-controlled

fleet is sea-woi*thy and ready to sail, ac-cording to Admiral Philipp Auboyneau,Commanderw-t)f the Free -French.;^NavalForces, who doubts, however, if the Vichy-'controlled fleet can be put at the disposalof the Nazis. '

While many of the officers of the fleetare strongly anti-British, the Admiral saysthere would be large defections in theranks if the men were ordered to fight forHitler.

Admiral Auboyneau warns that Ger-man trickery and Laval deceitfulness mayuse the Vichy fleet for convoying merchantships, ostensibly carrying1 food to Francebut actually making deliveries of vital ma-terials for Germany. This strategem wouldproduce a crisis to "be met by the navalstrength of the United Nations..

Food Supply AmpleWith many American families depend-

ent for their food upon the production ofAmerican farming, it is interesting to notethat.the supply of food in this country isexpected to be the largest on record in1942.

A small increase in crop acreage is ex-pected in 1942 and crop conditions at thistime are reported as generally good. Live-stock has increased arid the supply of feedis ample.

• The Bureau of Agricultural Economicsreports that stocks of crop and livestockproducts at the beginning of 1942 was thelargest on record. Together with the in-creased yields expected in 1942, there"seems no reason to expect a shortage offood in this country.

This does not mean that we have anyfood to throw away. Our supply of foodmust be stretched to meet domestic needs,to feed our armed forces and to assist inmeeting- the needs of our allies.

The Rubber ProblemThis newspaper has not waxed enthu-

siastic over the ballyhoo about new sourcesof rubber to replace the scarcity resultingfrom the fall of Malaya and other FarEastern sources.

It is easy enough to plan a program todevelop the growth of rubber-bearingplants in this country. There is consider-able difficulty in domesticating any plantas a potential source of rubber.

While the rubber shortage will prob-ably not seriously affect our war effort, itwill certainly interfere with normal usesof rubber and alter our customary modeoflife^ . . . . . . . ... ,

WASHINGTON, D. C.—'Read-ing (between the lines of Hitler'sparadoxical appeal to the Reich-stag- for powers which he has il-legally but quite effectively heldfor over eight years was an appealto the fifth columnists in -this coun-try and in Britain. He called onthem to keep Jbusy and try just alittle harder to split the variousracial and religious groups. Aunited America welded into oneharmonious whole produces toomany tanks and planes and battle-ships for Hitler's safety. Andsince the Fuehrer does not find itconvenient at the moment to spare.planes to "straff". this decadentdemocracy, his Nazi sympathizersmust double their efforts to spreaddouibt and confusion, fear and dis-unity. These are weapons as dead-ly as bonubs.

Hitler knows_ that Germany isbeginning1 to lose ground in thegreatest of all battles in this war—the battle of production. Hisfighting force is (feeling the strain.He knows that if his armies arebottled up in Europe for anotherwinter he will be facing the two-fold danger of huge American warproduction and a crack-up -of Naziindustrial production.

Hitler's plea for help will notgo unheeded, but if Attorney Gen-eral Biddle keeps barring- more"social" magazines from the mails,his followers are going to find itharder and harder to carry on.

A Tough JobAs chairman of the new War

Man Power Commission, -Paul V.McNutt has taken on one of- themost difficult assignments of thewar. One of his responsibilities isto -furnish war • industries'-. withworkers for far industries during1942 and 1948. At present thereare approximately 5,000,000 addi-tional workers in sight divided asfollows: 1,500,000 young men andwomen who are or will be lookingfor their first jobs, about 1,000,-000 self-emjployed salesmen, do-mestics, and farm workers, andaibout 2,500,000 persons n-ow un-employed.

How will Administrator McNuttfind the additional 9,000,000 work-ers needed? Statisticians say thatthe gap will be filled by house-wives, retired -workers, children ofhigh school age, negroes (never be-fore hired 'by certain firms) and byconversion of civilian industry towar production.

Mr. McNutt promises, however,that there will be no conscriptionorf labor—well, at least not imme-diately! ... ' ,

In fact, in all theNazi-oe'eupied countries the tor-toise has become one of the sym-bols of rebellion, Curt Reiss re-ports in his fascinating book, "Un-derground Europe."

nius," says A. I. Elder, a memberof the War Production Board, -whofeels sure that Hitler and Hirohitot"know from our past performancesthat they must expect some secretweapons to appeal*."

The idea that the present strug-gle will be won by some "secretweapon" or by the "inventive ge-nius" of smart Americans is notto be relied upon, however sooth-ing it may sound.

The United States will win thiswar by hard work, sweat, bloodand tears. The same formula thatChurchill gave to England, in herhour of trial applies to us. Thereis no easy road to victory over en-mies that are better prepared forwar.

We know something about thisinventive genius idea. Of course,we have never successfully invent-ed anything, even a successful fi-nancial -budget, but we havethought up many little gadgetswhich would be very useful andmake a lot of money.

The "thinking up" stage is easy.After that, the process becomesmore complicated and the detailsseem to be terrific. Then, after alittle while, the invention goes onthe metal shelf for a rest, we takeo.ne ourselves and, usually, pop upwith another gadget that starts usoff again.

Few wars have been won by newweapons, regardless of what onemay think after hearing about in-ventions and the development ofwarfare. The airplane and thetank, outstanding performers incurrent bloodshed, are by no meansnew; they were with us in the lastWorld War.

Our People Unders tand•Herbert Agar, editor of Louis-

ville, Kentucky, is quite busy thesedays in connection with some or-ganization t e r m e d "FreedomHouse." He is speaking often,with particular reference to thewar.

The other day Brother Agar de-livered himself of the idea that the"people are getting tired of thewar because they don't know whatit is about." Moreover, while"they are patriotic" they "are un-aware of the real meaning of thewar."

•Now, if anything sillier than thistwaddle has come out of the gov-ernmental publicity bureaus in re-cent weeks we missed it entirely.The "people" don't know anythingbut the real meaning of the"warMs;clear as crystal to a few select in-dividuals, including, of course, Edi-tor Agar.

Naturally, some Americans donot understand the war. Otherswant little of it. Just the same,the judgment of the vast majorityof Americans, which makes up thevoice of the people, is sound andcan be trusted.

(Frankly, we would just as soonac'cept the considered judgment ofa majority of the people of theUnited States as that -of a majorityof newspaper editors, war experts,mind readers or other group, in-cluding ,big business men.

Wasteful and SillyThere may be considerable justi-

fication in the complaint of certainnewspaper experts that govern-ment publicity stories are "waste-ful and silly."

'The expert newspaper menwould foe engaged in better work,however, if they were trying toeliminate some of the "wastefuland silly" stuff that gets into thenewspapers of the nation.

Anyone who makes it a businessto read the news of the day, withany serious attempt to keep upwith what is going on, will feeastounded, at the "tripe"' publishedin some newspapers. Nearly everyeditor has some personal ideaswhich are played up beyond realimportance to approach the "silly"point.

While the editors of the nation areattempting- to right the wrongs ofthe public, they might pay a littleattention to accusations that areoften launched against the pressby individuals' who corn-plain thatthey are misquoted and otherwiseunfairly handled.foy expert news-paper writers.

Is it too much to suggest thatsmart business requires newspapermen to devise some system bywhich grievances against the pressmay be aired before a competentcommittee of newspaper men, asanxious to treat the public correct-ly as. some others are to garblefacts for personal or political ad-vantages?

Grace Opened the Door. It Was Good to See Her Again

By Gene Brockhaven-

It was interesting- to note thechanges in the old neighborhood.! remember the street as one of;mall frame houses, built close to-gether, some neatly painted in,vhite, others in yellow with con-.rasting trim and one or two alideous mustard* brown whichDrought many a nauseous gulp to;he few artistically minded neigh-Dors. I recalled the indignationjf the street when a row of ugly,four-storied walkups was erectedin the middle of the block. Thesesye-sores were quickly duib'bed!'the flats."

I was early for my dinner ap-pointment in an apartment on thefourth floor of one of those flatsand walked slowly the length of thestreet, reflecting on past events. Ipaused in front of the small dwell-ing which once had teen my home.I felt a keen desire to see againthe inside of it, but the exteriorwas so shabby, and uncertain ofthe reception I might receive from..he current occupants, I continued§n. 1.paused midway in the blockind ' glanced back at the flats,

haibbier, dirtie? and uglier theyere, with the stoops swarming

with children. I thought of howthe inexorable years took toll of jplaces, things—and people. Fif-teen of them, and I wondered whatchanges they had wrought in Tomand Grace Gordon, my hosts ofthe evening1.

We had been children together,with Tom and I vieing through theyears for Grace's favor. Tom hadwon and shortly after their mar-riage he and I bad a quarrel. Whatprompted it I did not know, eventhen. He had flared at somethingI had said, something complimen-tary to Grace.

His face took on an expressionI had never seen there before."You're still in love with her!" hescreamed.

Not long after that incident Ihad gone away, carrying with mea hurt that still remained a dullache. And here I was back, myheart cluttered with mixed emo-tions. What would Grace be like?Would seeing her again revive theflame which the' years had loweredto a smouldering ember? Obvious-ly Tom. had not prospered. Theoccasional bits of news I had re-ceived of him during those fifteenyears had been anything hut flat-tering1.

I continued to the corner of thestreet. The same old fruit storewas there. I looked in hopefullyand sure enoug-h the figure bend-ing over one of the slanting fruittrays was familiar. Old Joe lookedup .at my greeting. It was sometime, and only atftar prompting, be-fore he recognized me. He reallywas glad to see me.

I mentioned Tom.. "No good," he said. "Drink,fight all the time." Then, in hisbroken English which time had notimproved, he painted a picture ofTom in which there was little ofgood. It effected me deeply, par-ticularly as I realized the sort oflife it must have meant for Grace.It was fortunate, I thoug'ht, thatthere had been no children.

I ief t old Joe and turned towardthe flats. The stoop of the one Ientered was even more crowdednow and I picked my way up thefew steps and into the hall. It•was smelly with the mixed odors ofvaried suppers. I walked up theifour flights to the Gordon apart-ment and knocked. Grace openedthe door and greeted me happily.I looked at her tensely and myheart jumped at my ribs. It was

. good to see her again.The room I entered, a combina-

tion living ,and dining- room, de-spite its old furnishings, was neatand attractively arranged. Thetable was set for three.

"Tom hasn't come home, yet,"Grace said. "He should be hereany moment. He promised to behere at seven."

But he didn't come. At eight

i

Grace decided we.should eat. We!both were uncomfortable and un-easy and our conversation, mostlyabout the past, was jumpy., andspasmodic. I finally broke awaywith the promise to return someother evening. Slowly walking-down those four flig-hts of stairs I.made ,a resolution. Maybe it wasa mistake, and certainly could Ihave foreseen the happenings ofthe next hour, I would have goneon my way. I decided to wait forTom on the street.

I walked to the corner in frontof Old Joe's place and waitedthere. It was a half hour or solater when I saw Tom crossing- thestreet under the "El" structure.As he came abreast of me, headlowered and eyes down, I greetedhim. He looked up and said"hello." Just like that, no wel-come in his voice, not an inkling ofthe old affection we once had hadfor each other. He made as if tostop, thought better of it, andstarted away. I grabbed his arm.

"Tom," I said, "it's me, Bob!"'"Yeah," he answered, a so-what

inflection in his tone.I was shocked. Suddenly my

tongue loosed, words with notmuch thought, and mayibe littlesense, tumbled from my lips. Mytirade ended with something aboutGrace deserving better than thekind of life he was giving her. Any-way it was the sense of it.

Tom looked-at me in a peculiarway. Then he smashed me in thejaw. I fell backward heavily intothe small fruit stand in front ofOld Joe's store, scattering the stuffall over the walk. I strove fran-tically to disentangle myself andfinally reached my feet.. Tom wasa little way up the block. He turn-ed to face me as I came up.Neither of us uttered a word as wecame to grips. I remember think-ing it funny that an affection ofyear's standing for a man couldchange to hatred in a moment.Maybe I had hated him all along",I don't know. My feeling flaredso intensely that I never felt thepounding I was getting. I wasgiving, too, my bruised knuckleslater attesting to that. Then a po-liceman arrived.

"Break it up!" he yelled.The officer looked at Tom and

said, "You again! I've a goodmind to run you in. Beat it!" Heturned to me. "You too."

When I reached the corner OldJoe was standing" there with my hatin his hand. He took my arm andled me through the store to a smallapartment in the rear. I sat down,badly shaken, and after a timewent over to the small sink in acorner of the room. I was makinga feeble attempt to wash away theevidences of the fight when thedoor burst open and Grace enter-ed. Her face was white.

iShe didn't see me at first. "Joe!Joe!" Her vojee; high pitchedand near hysteria, was directed atthe elderly man who had risen andwas standing in the center of theroom. "Tom—V Then she sawme. "Oh, iBofo," she said, "-why-did you do it? He's—he's gonemad, I think. He's locked himselfin the .bathroom and," she hesi-tated, "he has a gun. I. saw it!"

Old Joe grunted meaninglessly.I hurried to the door.

"You wait here," I said to Grace."I'll see what I can do. Joe, seeif you can find that ipoliceman."

'"Don't, Bob. don't!" Gracecried. Her lips continued to moveand then she 'blurted, "He hatesyou!". I hadn't. the slightest idea of

what I could do about Tom, but Istarted out nevertheless. When Ireached the fiat Grace was be-hind me. I remonstrated with her,but she refused to stay in the hall.I walked across the living: room tothe small hall off which the bath-room was-set. Everything wasquiet. I knocked on the door.

"Worn," I called. This , is Bob.What's wrong?"

T h e r e came an explosive

y0U—t" through the door; a loudreport and the splintering of thedoor panel as the bullet rippedthrough and embedded itself in thewall opposite.

Instinctively I pushed back atGrace, forcing her toward the liv-ing room. She screamed and ran.I stood rooted to the spot—fear,I guess—my eyes staring at thedoor knoib. I heard a click backof the door. The latch? Fascinat-ed, I watched the knosb and thoughtI saw it turn. Then there cametwo quick reports, almost simul-teneous they were, from inside theroom. There was the sound of ascrambling and a dull thump. Pro-pie came rushing1 into the livingroom, the policeman in the fore.I leaned back against the wall andslowly slid down until I was sit-ting on the floor. Rubber legs, Iguess.

. It was several weeks later thatI next saw Grace. I met her at theCentral Station. Her face wasdrawn and pale, but her mannerwas calm. I had difficulty in fight-ing the urge to take her in myarms. Her train was about toleave.

"Bob," she said, her mouth lift-ing at the corners in an effort tosmile, "I'm leaving to Tnake myhome with Aunt Beth in Connecti-cut. I'm leaving- this"—her handwaved as if she were brushingaway the past—"gladly."

"But, Grace, I—I have—""Don't say it now, Bob," she in-

terrupted. "I know—I think Ihave known all these years. May-<'be—maybe in time I will be readyto hear what you have to say tome."

urges the immediate •re-con-oning of them so that they mayput to use."he letter:

May 3, 1942.odhridge Park Commission:n the past few years, the ten-courts on Park Ave. near the

^ground have been neglected toextent that it is impossible to1 on them. They serve only aseating rink for the school ehil-n. The nets are ruined, theson being carelessness in put--

them up, and the backstopting is in a very bad conditionome places. There are no lines,no one is employed the morn-

after a rainstorm, to sweep off

•the courts. 'The "water, collectedin puddles made by uneven sur-facing, is left to evaporate.

Concerning the sand courts, orrather, what is left of them, whichare located near the lakes in theupper park section, they are over-grown with weeds and hardly dis-tinguishable.

If the courts were improved now,by the time the tennis season isunder way, the^ would be inproper condition.

Considering that the town's ten-nis enthusiasts can no longer go toRoosevelt Park or Fords Park toplay, due to the tire shortage, itseems a crime to have the courtshere go' to waste.

; immediately.'he motor 'boat numbers, which;he past 'have been a minimumthree inches in size, under theeral Numbering Act, must beirged to between six and 24ties, depending on the size ofcraft. In addition, the numberi must be painted on the deck:aibin top, if construction of thet permits.Joasfc Guard officials point outt "boat owners holding a imm-need not apply for a new one.

New Regulations'he Coast Guard regulations I

specify that these numerals shall bepainted horizontally to the water-line in block characters and in con-trasting colors. In other words,if the hull is light, the numbershall Ibe dark, and vice versa. Theheight of the numbers will be de-termined by the following scale:Length, Vessel Height, Numbers

Under 20 Feet 6 to 8 Inches20 to 40 Feet 10 Inches30 to 60 Feet 18 Inches40 to 60 Feet 24 Inches

For surface identification, thenumlbers must be painted on eachside of the 'bow, "and the distance.between the watevline and the bot-tom of the numbers shall not beless than the minimum height of thenumbers. Thus the bottom of a 10inch number would Ibe at least 10inches aibove the waterline.

'For purposes of aerial identifi-cation, the number must toe paint-ed conspicuously on the. deck orcabin top, across the ship or foreand aft, depending oft which ofthese two, areas is the larger. Thetopside numlber must, of course, bepainted in a contrasting color andthe numerals shall ibe proportion-ate in size with the scale listed.

Fast OutboardSpeeds For 1942

•NEW YORK — A theoreticalspeed of 47.8 miles per hour isforecast for the 15th annual Al-bany to New York Marathon downthe Hudson on Sunday, May 17 byCommodore J. iS. Y. Tyson, ofPhiladelphia, official handicapper.Although the race this year is..136miles, the predicted speed is nearlyhalf a mile an. hour faster than themarathon mark of 47.4 m.p.h. setby Charles Mack of New Milford,N. X, three years ago over a 130-mile course.

The 1942 marathon will finishat the eity^owned yacht basin at79th iStreet and the Hudson River,and Commodore Tyson, in report-ing his computations to the MiddleAtlantic Outboard Association,sponsors of the event, has takenthe new finish line into considera-tion.

•Handicaps for the outboard, con**testing classes are predicated onperfect. water and weather condi-tions, and under such an ideal com-ibination of circumstances , thescratch' .Class F hydroiplanes areexpected to negotiate the gruelingand hazardous course from the Al-bany Yacht CM) to the city yaehttoasin in two hours, 50 minutes,seven seconds, an added 'allowanceof more than nine minutes overlast year's predicted time. TheClass F predicted speed last yearwas 48.5 m.'p.h.

Allowing for the longer distance,Commodore Tyson's handicaps in-dicate that the outboard craft thisyear will come down the river atthe fastest pace in the history ofthe race. Class C boats are ex-pected to hit 44.2 m.p.h., as com-pared to 44.7 in 1941, while B. hy-droplanes show a predicted speedof 41.7 m.p.h., only a tenth of amile under last year's theoretical'figures for the class.

Class A. boats this year are- ex-pected to prove only a tenth of a-mile slowei" in speed, despite theadded distance. A large entry isexpected in the Midget outboardhydroplane class and HandieapperTyson has taken these small craftinto consideration, giving them anelapsed time of five hours, 11 min-utes, 2i2 seconds, with a speed of26.159 m.,p.h.

Latest,RegulationsOn Coast Guard Cards

WOODBRIDGE — There h a sbeen so much conjecture lately onthe question of who shall haveCoast Guard identification cardsand who is not required to have onethat we take this opportunity, topublish in full the latest regulationissued over the signature of Cap-tain J. S. Baylis,'TJSCG, captainof the Port of New York, whosejurisdiction is in the Third NavalDistrict. His notice read:

"Identification cards are requiredof the.following':'T-'' ".!',.- '...;.'

1. The operators and crews ofall vessels.

";2. 'Persons who have occasionto go on commercial piers, docks orwharves, or otherwaterfront facili-ties within restricted or defensivearea, and who are connected withthe operation, servicing or loadingof ships. This latter includes suchpersons as longshoremen, truckingCompany employees, shipping com-pany employees, • other workmen,etc;

"i3. Persons on board barges,scows, lighters and similar craft(with no means of propulsion) androwiboats, within defensive sea orrestricted area.

"Identification cards are not or-dinarily required, at present, ofthe following:

1. Persons under 14. years ofage. •• ; . •-.

"2. Persons on board j row.boatsunder 16 feet in length which mayIbe propelled by sails or outboardmotor of. less than 10-horsepowerwhen not within a defensive or re-stricted area.

'3. Passengers on vessels carry-ing passengers for hire.

"4. Guests (not members ofcrews) on privately owned pleas-ure boats.

"5. Persons on puiblic beaches.iPerson on isolated beaches at nightin localities not commonly used bythe public should have in their pos-session suitaible means of identifi-cation.

"•6. Persons on vessels on inlandlakes or rivers not connected withtide water.. "7. 'The identification card re-

quirements are waived at presenttime for localities where reason-aible opportunity to obtain themhas not been furnished the public.

"8v It should be understood byall concerned that it may becomenecessary to change the foregoing-regulations without notice."

Begardless of the foregoing; westill insist that it would be fartetter for salt water anglers whoplan to do some fishing along theshore to fill out an application formfor a Coast Guard identificationcard, be fingerprinted, supply thenecessary photographs and therebybe prepared to show who they are.It would be better to do that thanto go on a trip without a card andlearn that the regulations had beenchanged overnight.

iaikiison SetFor Reading Fair

READING, Pa. — With severalnow drivers reported ready, to cometo terms with Ralph Hankinson,one of the hottest race meets ofthe year is in prospect for theReading fair grounds, Sunday,May 17. .

Hankinson has already indicatedthat, the entire field which par-ticipated-in the inaugural races onSunday, April 19, will be back forthe May events. The principal con-tenders in the ibig inaugural turnedout to be Joe Chitwood, Bob Sail,Buster Warke, Da-ve Randolph andOr a Bean.

Ted Horn, the defending na-tional dirt'track champion who wasone of the. pre-race favorites, en-countered bad luck when hiomighty Offenhauser motor brokedown during the running of themain event. The "ibreak down"came after Ted had clipped theformer track record held by Jim-my Wilburn. . . . . '

Chitwood, the rampaging In-dian, was the principal figure inthe initial battle of man and ma-chines. The Cherokee rough riderset a new, qualifying record of25.77 seconds, won a. three-corner-ed match race, and emerged trium-phant in the featured final eventof the day.

New TalentOther victims of bad-acting mo-

tors were Mark Light, TommyHirinershitz and Everett Saylor.Light was forced out of competi-tion before the qualifying trials,Saylor retired to the sidelines dur-ing the running of the featuredfinal, and Hinnershitz finished thefinal race with a sputtering motor.

'Meanwhile, Hankinson is desir-ous of signing some nexv speed tal-ent from the midwest to augmenthis extensive array of Easternstars.. Foremost on Hankinson'slist are Rex Mays, Duke Nalon,Mauri Rose and Floyd Davis.

The race on Sunday, May 17,will also attract stars from theminor circuits who were unable tohave their ears ready in time forthe inaugural. As a result, a rec-ord starting fi.eld of more than 50drivers is anticipated for the sec-ond battle of Reading.

Bears Pleased WithMethen/s Hitting

NEWARK—One of the pleas-antest surprises of the Newarkclub this spring- and a reason forthe Bears early season success hasbeen the remarkable batting ofArthur "Bud" Metheny. Heraldedan even better prospect than Char-lie Killer when he graduated fromWilliam and Mary College with a.500 collegiate average in 1938,Metheny has started to show un-deniable signs of greatness as abatsman. !

Built along- the rugged Kellerlines on about the same sizedframe, the chunky Virginian cutsinto the ball with the same vicious-ness as the celebrated Marylandslugger, and is almost as fast asthe hero of College Park in beat-ing out topped-balls to first base.*During the International Leaguechampions' first home stay, ArthurBeauregard (never mention thatsecond name in his presence) clip-ped the "pellet to all fields at a.413 average.

A much better fielder than heWas with the Bruins two years ago,Metheny's hitting- is surprising-only because of a very poor seasonlast year at Kansas. City, Maybethat was the bad season that eventhe greatest, of ballplayers havehad, but the young man has aplausible explanation for his .240American Association, mark.

Cancelling Sports SchedulesThe situation concerning college sports in the

United States today is somewhat puzzling-. In gen-eral, the colleges have shown a desire to cooperatewith the government in the National Emergency. Butsome of the colleges seem to have confused the term"cooperate." Or rather, they may have overlookedthe fact that good athletes are as essential to NationalDefense as good students in a great many cases—much 'more essential in others.

For example, many colleges have solved theproblem of sharing the burden of the war effort bycancelling the remainder of their athletic meets. This,they argue, saves money, tires, gasoline, etc. In somecases this solution may be one of necessity. When itis, the college should certainly instigate in place ofthe cancelled meets some sort of intramural sports atonce. ' • . . .

If intramurals are developed properly, more stu-dents are able to secure.sufficient physical trainingthan through the system of inter-collegiate teamclashes.

Therefore, if proper'intramural competition isestablished when inter-collegiate activities are can-celled, the -results justify the means.

Drop Sports EntirelyBut what is deplorable is the fact that some of

our colleges have cancelled their sports program andmade no plans for the immediate future of athletics.Even worse, some, colleges have "cut out" sports alto-..gether in order to speed up graduation of students.Even though a surplus of manpower is needed forthe war, tough bodies that "can take it," are neededmuch more. Americans are generally tough—but far

. from tough enough!

After reading some of the escaped prisoners' ac-counts while in concentration camps in Europe, onefeels somewhat depressed at the comparison of thetough youth; of Germany and the average London offfice boy in uniform. Of course, the comparison now isnot nearly so unfavorable—noc is American youthas "puny" as were a great number of the English.But we must do better than just match the enemy—we must excell him in physical fitness, as in every-thing else including production. The colleges mustnot fail in their part of our physical fitness drive. Wemust stress sports—especially intramurals—at thistime, not discourage them.

ecV For Victory" ClubsOne college-has instituted a "V for Victory" club

composed only of men who can perform seven out ofeight track and field trials. In other words, to be-come a member one must be able to broad-jump aminimum of 18 feet, do the 100-yard dash in a mini-mum time of 11 seconds, etc., etc. This is the spirit weneed in the colleges. More of this will shorten thewar-—it may even save your life.
