SEYLER TO ASSISTIN STUDY TO FINDMAIL DELAY CAUSEActing Postmaster In Fords

Asked By U. S. To AidIn Investigation

PATRONSMiELP ASKEDFORDS.—Edward Seyler, act-

ing postmaster at Fords, has beenasked to cooperate in a nationalinvestigation to determine respon-sibility for delay in delivery ofmail.

The survey, ordered by the Postoffice department, is exepected toresult in correction of both thedepartment's mistakes and errorsof mailers.

Henceforth, the Fords post-master will keep separate files ofall reports and correspondence ofthis type of inquiry. In cast- ofdelayed mail the department ask-ed him to trace each item from thepoint of origin to the final desti-nation.

In their efforts to eliminate de-lays, postal officials arc requestingpatrons of the Fords office to bringimportant mail to the main officeat least a half-hour before the de-parture of a scheduled train. Toooften, it was pointed out, suchmail is left in a box or branchstation, or brought to the mainpost office within n fi-w minutesof train time, which accounts, tosome extent, for delayed mail.

During the past Lhree years thedepartment has investigated vari-ous complaints, mainly from busi-ness houses, which charge thatcompany mail failed to reach ad-reuses within a reasonable time.Many individuals' complaints wen-vicious, and in a few instances the

ij'ost oflici.: department was threat-ened with Congressional wrath.

COMMITTEE MEETSPISCATAWAYTOWN—The ba-

WOODHRIPGK— Just off thepress, and ready for distribution,is the third annual report of theDepartment of Public Welfare,County of Middlesex, submitted byC. R. Wicoff, supervisor, Depart-ment of Public Welfare. The re-port covers thoroughly the cor-

. rectional and penal institutions,educational departments, hospital-izatimi and welfare of the county.

In his report Mr. Wicoff com-ments:

"The work of the departmentsfor the year 11K18 has gone alongin about the same proportions asin 1SK17, with the one exception,namely, the W.P.A. relonsod fromits rolls all persons over sixty-fiveyears of age and all mothers whowere receiving Mother's Assist-ance or dependent children. This

[naturally increased the work" of theI Departments of Old Age Assist-ance and Mother's Assistance con-siderably.

Chronically 111 A Problem: "In submitting this report, there! exists in Middlesex Countv at thepresent time, a problem which the

: Welfare Department is definitely'handicapped, and that is, the care[of the chronically ill. I have long

been an advocate that somethingmust be done to care for this situ-ation. The four hospitals of th-:>County, up to this time, have givenexcellent cooperation, but this typeof case is not the type that hos-pitals desire as the turnover ofthis type of cases is small and theyoccupy beds in the institutions

; which are needed for acute ca.-e.-.: Eight of the counties of New Jer-: sey have some public facilities foiI this type of case. I have, as stated1 before, given this matter a greatdeal of thought and study for sev-eral years past and I have worked

j out a plan which I believe will takej care of the situation at very little! added expense to the county. The; plan that I have worked out I willi submit to your Honorable Boardj in the very near future."; Weights and Measures

In discussing the Department ofWeights and Measures, Mr. Wicoffpoints out in his report that Mid-

| dlesex County was the first in the| State of New Jersey to build a 50. gallon portable test measure. Mid-i dlesex County is also the pioneer\ in the construction of an accurateIbulk testing device, so accurate,las to vary not over a gill on nnv

quantity up to 2,000 gallons inany one compartment. Charles H

i Engelhard is superintendent of theDepartment of Weights and Meas-ures.

Workhouse and FarmThe accomplishments of the

Middlesex County Workhouse an-iFarm, of which Clark Butterworthis the warden and Charles H. Her-bert, Jr., is superintendent,brought commendatory remarksby Mr. Wicoff. The latter wrote:

j "The prisoners perform various! duties. The object of the man-1 agement is to see that everyone; being detained here does some par-t i cu la r work that will keep him' from heing idle and disintegrating; morally and physically. The ta*ksperformed have on several occa-sions .saved Middlesex County ron-

' siderable money. When the officesof the County jail were renovate 1last fall the Workhouse prisoneisspent seven weeks scraping thevarnish and paint off the woodworkand walls, cleaning the cellar ofthe jail and various other task".They have also spent t'.vo monthsin the County Record Buiidi;.^

PAGE TWO FRIDAY. JUNE 30, 1939 FORDS AND RARITAN TOWNSHIP BEACON

Irked By Religious Sect, SavoiaRetaliates With Italian Epithets

, Hopelawn Parishioners Of Church Of Jesus ChristObject To 'Stupido' And Have Critic Arrested

\ WOODBRIDGE—"Stupido" means stupid and theItalian parishioners of the Church of -Je.sus Christ resentedbeing called that by Donato Savoia, 42, of 11 Worden Ave-nue, Hopelawn and brought the latter into police courtbefore Judge Arthur Brown on a complaint of disorderlyconduct and uttering indecent language . Savoia was placedunder a §500 peace bond, but his

• wife failed to learn that you can'thurl epithets at others, shouted"liar" at one of the witnesses andwas fined five dollars for contemptof court,

The squabble evidently startedover J-ditfJou.s differences. Thechurch sect has been in existencesince 1804 and one of the churcheshas been located in Hopelawn inthe rear of the Savoia home for sixyears. Recently, the church de-cided to build a new church in thefront, about 50 feet from the Sa-voia property, having outgrown

• the converted tfarag-e which servedas their place of worship.

Savoia strenuously objected tothe change and appeared beforethe Township Committee a t thelast regular meeting to protestagainst the church. He was toldthat the church was a duly consti-tuted religious sect, that thechurch was being erected in a cor-rect zone and there was nothingthat could be done about it.

'Stupido1 Means Stupid!Paul lianynla., of Florida Grove

Road, Hopelawn, one of the com-plainants against Savoia, told thecourt that as the worshippers en-

f tered the church last Sunday heculled them "stupido" and ques-tionable names in Italian. When

• the hymns were being sung, he tes-tified, Savoia stood outside singingoff key and mimiting them.

On the stand Savoia was very- antagonistic. He could give no

reason why he was against the con-struction of the church and themembfers of it other than that theyworshipped in a different mannerthan he did. His wife, who waswarned several times during theproceedings to keep a "civil tonguein her head," finally called a w>jm-iin witness a "liar" and was finedfor contempt of court.

After placing Savoia under apeace bond, Judge Brown gave thedefendant a severe tongue lash-ing. He reminded him that "thisis .1 free country and that a per-son has a right to worship God ashe sees fit."

"That is one of the basic fun-damentals of our government," de-clared Brown. "From your ownadmission, you have no other ob-jections to the church and its mem-bers other than that the parish-ioners worship God in a differentmanner than you do. You are

\ each entitled to your religion andi Tio one can tell you how to worshipj God. To worship God, is not stu-' pid and I want you to remember• that. If you break your peacej bond, or, if you or your wifej bother these people again in anymanner, the punishment will besevere."

Loggers' JarprmApt nnd descriptive names for the

tools of (heir trade have been coinedby the loggers in the Oregon woods.The cross-cut saw, whose monot-onous whine has sounded the death-knell for many a stately Oregon fir,is a "misery-whip" to the two burlybuckos who lash their way with itinto the hearts of the big trees.Sometimes the men call a sawtheir "briar." or their "Swede fid-dle." The lowly shovel in the bigwoods is n "clam gun," an "idiotstick," or a "ukulele."

Alarm Clock HintIf your alarm clock wakes the

whole household as well as your-self, put an clastic band around thebell. This will reduce the sound.The wider the band, the more thesound will be reduced, and you canregulate the noise so that it is loudenough to wake you, but soft enoughnot to wake others.

The report continues by statingthat the fann connected with theworkhouse is under the supervis-ing of an experienced farmer,Charles Hubert, who has been en-gaged in this type of work formany years. The produce raised isnot Hold, but presented and deliv-ered by the Workhouse truck tothe various institutions of thecounty. If the farm was allowedto sell the produce raised, it wouldbe self-sustaining, Mr. Wicoff saul.

The poultry plant is managed bya graduate of Rutgers Agricul-tural College and is supervised byLeslie BJack, Poultry Extensionspecialist. It not only gives theprisoners an opportunity to learnthe care of poultry but serves asa model for the College to showtheir students and the farmers ofthis locality the proper methods ofraising poultry. The entire out-put of the poultry plant is ab-sorbed by Roosevelt Hospital.There are approximately 875 lay-ing hens, and between 400 and500 eggs are delivered to theRoosevelt Hospital daily.

Prisoners ExaminedContinuing; the report reads:"Every man committed to the

institution, providing he has overthirty days to serve, is given aphysical examination and blooiltest. In the past three years over400 blood tests have been talrei;and we have found about 39 posi-tive cases of syphilis. When a ma'iis discovered to be a positive case,he is immediately given treatment,which consists of taking him oncea week to the Middlesex Countyclinic.

"It is with regret that the man-agement of the workhouse has notbeen able to show the public thatthis institution is not a home forthe aged or a camp for drunkards,but an institution where prison-ers who are committed here can atleast be shown the right road to re-covery. Wo find on checking upthe records of this institution thatonly 10 percent of the entire in-habitants ai-e habituate or repeat-ers; the other 00 percent includenin-support cases, highway rob-bery, atrocious assault and bat-tery, simple assault and battery,larceny, a small percentage of sexcases, drunken drivers, and vari-ous offenses which are not severeenough ,to warrant prison terms.

"The records show that in 193Swe had 936 commitments and re-ceived l,20G prisoners. The avor-aj?e cost per year, which is ratherhard to furnish on account of theshort terms of sonic of the inmates,is approximately $480 per prisonerper year."

Extension ServiceThere arc three ajrents connect-

ed with the extension service, Or-loy G. Bowen, Joseph R. Kennyand Miss Margaret McCoy. Theycarry an educational and serviceprogram in ajrrciulturo and homeeconomics with the farmers andhome makers of the county. ThepVogram is under the general di-rection of the State AgriculturalCollege and Experiment Stationbut is worked out in close cooper-ation with local organizations.

SchoolsDr. M. L. Lowery is the superin-

tendent of schools. The type ofwork done in the Department ofPublic Instruction, Mr. Wieoffwrites, is the supervision of thepublic schools of all boroughs andtownships in Middlsex County ex-cept Raritan Township. The vo-cational school system is under thedirection of C. E. Parsil. In thatconnection Mr. Wicoff says:

"The outstanding event in con-nection with vocational educationin Middlesex County during 103Swas the granting by the federalgovernment of the sum of $120,-330.00 to the vocational board asa portion of the total cost of thegirls' vocational school in theamount og $267,400, the remain-der being furnished by the Boardof Chosen Freeholders, this schoolis being erected in WoodbridgeTownship."

HospitalizationOf hospitalization and care of

indigrents in the county the reportstates:

"While the county is willing tocare for those incapable of takingcare of themselves, at the sametime, every precaution is taken tomake sure that the Free Day Ser-vice is received by those who art'absolutely destitute and not byindividuals desiring ot take advan-tage of the service. Approxi-mately 45,000 free days of servicewere given at the following hos-

The report also mentions thenumerous county inmates in Stateinstitutions, the work done by theCrippled Kiddies Committee andthe clinical activities for the year,including the social hygiene clinic.

Tuberculosis

A large part of the report \r,devoted to the Tuberculosis work.Twenty-six free clinics arc heldmonthly in different parts of thecounty where anyone may receivechest examinations including tu-berculin test and x-ray. If hos-pitalization is found necessary,plans for admission to RooseveltHospital are made by the clinicnurse.

Kiddie Keep Well Camp

John E. Toolan is president ofthe camp. All of the children whowere at the camp received an un-usually thorough physical exami-nation. There was very little sick-ness during the summer, Mr. Wicoffreports. During the year the campwas able, through the assistanceof the Board of Freeholders,W.P.A. and the gifts of generouscitizens to add a storehouse andsewing unit to its buildings.

Roosevelt Hospital

A largo part of the report is de-voted to the Roosevelt Hospital,of-which Robert L. Saltier, ofWoodbeidge, is president. He says,in part:

"The surgical treatment of pul-monary tuberculosis cases, as wellas of other chronic lung diseasescoming under our observation dur-ing the year, has been applied toas great an extent as was possible.The average percentage of patientsgiven some form of 'collapsetherapy' during the year was5G.0',; which is higher than theprevious year by 4'/>."

Other departments mentioned inthe lengthy report were: Coroners,county physician, welfare board,CCC in Middlesex County, Mo-ther's Assistance and DependentChildren, Old Age Assistance,Mosquito Extermination Commis-sion and Soldiers and SailorsBuirals.

Mr. Wicoff thanks the followingfor their wholeheated cooperationduring the past year: Board ofChosen Freeholders, particularlyFrecholder W. Robert Halo, chair-man of the Department of PublicWelfare; Freeholder Anthony S.Gadek, Jr., director of Social Wel-fare agencies, the Board of Man-agers of the Roosevelt Hospital;the Middlesex County WelfareBoard, Warden Clark Butterworth,of the Middlesex County Work-house; Warden Anthony J.

Town Had Trouble Hiring Teacher,Believe It Or Not, 228 Years AgoHad To Offer Ten Acres Of Land As An Inducement

For Services Of A Schoolmaster; Location Vague

WOODBRIDGE—With colleges all over the countrypouring out graduates by the hundreds, many of whomhope for positions as school teachers, a study in contrasts:s offered in the early records of the colonization of Wood-bridge Township. Where, nowadays scores of prospectiveteachers are doomed to disappointment, back in the daysof the early seventeen hundreds, | zrr- . —school teachers had to be given in-ducements to locate here.

In the old Township files of 1711we find that "10 acres of landmore or less' were given to oneGeorge Ewbancke, on conditionthat he remain and teach in Wood-bridge. From the description ofthe property it appears that theland in question was located acrossthe road from the present Freeschool lands on Poor Farm road.A school house had been erectedand the offer was made with thehope that Ewbancke would re-main.

Inducement NecessaryThe record of the grant is sign-

ed by the Freeholders of the Town-ship, Rogen Kenyon, John Heard,James Moore and Thomas Carnes.It reads in part as follows:. 'TO ALL CHRISTIAN PEOPLE,to whom these presents shall come,GREETING:

"Know ye that we whose namesare here under-written, Freehold-ers of the Township of Wood-brdige, in the County of Middle-sex in the Province of New Jer-sey, for the encouragement of aschool master in the said Town ofWoodbridge, but now especiallyfor the encouragement and advan-tage of George Ewbancke, nowschool master of said Woodbridge:Now know ye, that we the saidFreeholders underwritten have re-mised, released and forever quitclaim and by these presents: dofor us, our heirs and assigns, fully,clearly and absolutely, remise, re-lease and for ever quit claim untothe said George Ewbancke in fulland peaceable possession . . . ,"

The description of the propertyis as follows:

". . . . containing ten acres ofcommon land, as by the return ofthe .surveyor doth appear, lyingat a place commonly known by thename of Red Brook, (editor's note:now known as Sucker Brook),butted and bounded as followeth:

"Beginning at the north side ofthe said brook, at a red oak tree,marked on four sides, beginningabout three rods from the Brook;from thence east-south-east ninechains to a swamp oak tree, mark-ed on four sides, from thence run-ning1 north - north - cast, elevenchains to a stake planted markedon four sides, thence west-north-west, nine chains, to a stake plant-ed by the high highway (editor'snote: now Poor Farm road, Iselin)and from thence south-south-eastas the highway runs to the placewhere it began, situate, lying andbeing- in Woodbridgc aforesaid."

The description is so old andand quaint, that the property couldonly be traced through the num-ber of rods and the fact that it wasknown to be in the vicinity of thefree school lands.

Reason For GiftContinuing, the records give the

reason for the gift as follows:"The said land is given on condi-

tion that the said George Ew-bancke do remain, abide and teachschool in Woodbridge aforesaid inthe Public school house, now builtfor the purpose, during his natu-ral life or so long as he shall becapable, provided, always that theinhabitants of the said Town satis-fying antl paying unto the saidGoo Ewbancke, for his teachingof their children yearly and everyyear, so long as he shall be ca-

"This twenty-eighth day ofApril-Anno Dom: 1713. The pres-ent day personally came before!me, James Moore and John Heardtwo of the evidences to this deedof conveyance and did declareupon their corporal oaths that theydid see several of the above sign-ers nnd sealer, sign, seal and de-liver this within deed in favor ofthe within named George E«--baneke, before me this above date.Signed, Ad. Hudo, Justice of thePeace."

The signatures were recordedby Moses Rolph, Freeholders'clerk on September 14, 1714.Some of the names are still fa-miliar in the Township today. Theyarc as follows:

David Donham, John Loof-borrow (now Luffbarry), JohnFreeman, John Moore, SampelStone, John Jaques, Thomas Pike,Obidiah Ayers, Samuel Dennis,Timothy Bloomficld, Stephen Kent,Robert Gilchrist, William Moore,John Lee, George Brown, Benja-min Cromwell, James Moore, Icha-bod Smith, John Ayers, ElishaParker, Henry Freeman, SamuelSmith, Francis Walker, NathanielDonham, John Kinsey, John Al-len, John Robeson, John Bloom-field, Gaven Lockhart, NathanielFitz Randolph, John Nooks, AdamHude, Ezekiel Bloomfield, JohnIlslee, (now Inslee).

The property that was eventu-ally turned over to George Ew-bancke, the school master, is nowknown on the Township recordsas Block 374, Lot 1. Whether ornot Ewbancke stayed in Wood-bridge and taught as "long- as hewas capable" is not known. Even-tually it found its way to severalother owners, including a partyby the name of Dunn. More re-cently it was owned by Andersand Soren Nielsen and then by J.Wight. At the present time theproperty is hack in the hands ofthe original owner, the Townshipof Woodbridge. Whether or notthere are any direct living descend-ants of George Ewbancke whoshould have title to the property,is problematical.

GREINER TO PLEADIN CAPITOL TODAYFOR SEWER FUNDSSeeks $50,000 From PWA

To Spare Local Taxpay-ers From Added Costs

TO SEE PWAJNGINEERAdvanced Scale For Labor-

ers Caused Increase InOriginal Estimates

WOODBRIDGE—Mayor AugustF. Greiner, Township AttorneyLeon E. McElroy and TownshipEngineer C. R. Davis left forWashington late yesterday after-noon for a conference with PWAofficials in an effort to secure anadditional S50,000 loan and grantfrom the Federal government forthe construction of the laboratorybuilding and intercepting and out-fall sewers for the sewage disposalplant at Keasbey before July f>,after which date the contractorsmay withdraw their bids.

When bids were received hythe Township a few weeks ago thelowest bids totaled $18O,-I89, about850,000 more than the estimategiven to PWA officials. This in-crease is attributed to labor con-ditions and an increase in wagescales, according to Mr. McElroy.The PWA is guided by the unionsin the vicinity before a wage scaleis set and the fact that there isa great deal of construction goingon in this area, including the newbridge over the Raritan River, therailroad elimination and the sewerdisposal plant, the laborers are in

African DiamondsThe first discovery of diamonds in

Africa was made in 1837 by Dr.W. G. Alherstono, who identified asa diamond a pebble obtained from achild on a farm on the banks of theOrange river and brought by a trad-er to Grahamstown. It was boughtfor 500 pounds and displayed in theParis exhibition of that year. In1869 a stone weighing 83M- carat;:was found near the Orange river;this was purchased by the earl ofDudley for 25,000 pounds and be-came famous as the Stnr of SouthAfrica.

To See PWA EngineerMayor Greiner, Mr. McElroy and

Mr. Pavis have an appointmentwith John W. Roliror, chief engi-neer of the PWA, this morning.It is believed that after the con-ference the fumls will he forth-coming.

"If we don't Ret the money,"Mr. McKiroy said yesterday, "Idon't know what will happen. Ofcourse the contempt proceedingswill he continued against us untilsuch time as the contract is com-pleted."

Originally, the Township madeapplication for a grant to hookup with the Perth Amboy plant.When it was not found feasibleto follow that plan, the attnraoygeneral's office started contemptproceedings against the TownshipCommittee .is a niattei- of routine.The PWA application was amend-ed and the Township then appliedfor a loan and grant amountingto S250.000 for the constructionof its own sewer disposal plantat Keashey. When bids were re-ceived for the first unit of con-struction they were within theestimated scope, but the lowestbids for the second unit were $50,-000 more than anticipated.

The time limit for constructionof the plant has been set by theState ftoavd of Health for January4, li)40. The committee, however,is very anxious to have the mattersettled before July 5, for if thecontractors withdraw their Imts af-ter that date, it is feared that thenew bids might be even higher.

We're Still MadSince Woodbridge Township obviously

i<; stuck with the necessity of building thatFords-Hopelawn-Keasbey sewer, we trustthe local officials who are in Washingtontoday -seeking additional funds with whichto finance the project, will be successful.

As v/e have stated so many times before,Woodbridge Township even with the helpof Federal funds is in no more of a positionto build the sewer at this time than it isto pave Smith Creek with platinum. In theevent no further assistance can be obtainedfrom Washington than already has beenallowed, we guess it will be up to the tax-payers to kick in the $50,000 wh.ich thefund lacks at this time. That is the prin-cipal reason we wish the expedition goodlortune.

Some time, in this experiment we callself-government, we hope there will comea realization to those in a position to forceexpenditures on the taxpayers thatenough's enough. This municipality, wemaintain, is having enough trouble to meet1he cost of essential services such as schoolsand police and fire protection, without hav-ing to find ways and means of financings-omc screwy brainchild of an extravagant.state bureaucracy.

Sometimes we're afraid this is a prettyvain hope.

Abolishing CountiesGovernor Leon C. Phillips, of Oklahoma,

is said to nourish an ambition to reducethe expense of government by consolidat-ing counties.

Undoubtedly, the Governor has logicand ctliciency on his side. Practicallyeverybody in the United States agrees thatthere are too many counties. Originallydeveloped in the era before the horse-and-buggy days, there is no reason for thecounties except the unwillingness of theaverage citizen to permit his county to bemerged with another and the ambition ofcounty politicians to continue their termsof office.

Sooner or later, most of the states of(he union will reform their county-linesto lit with modern transportation and com-munication facilities. What used to be anove-r-night trip for citizens in a county isnow a matter of a few hours at the most.Regardless of the reason that suggestscounty consolidation, the chances are thatcounty pride, plus the pressure of county-seat towns and cities, coupled with the mo-tives mentioned above, will be strongonough to stave off this desirable reformfor many years.

A Valuable RecommendationWe trust the Board of Freeholders will

seriously consider the plea of C. RaymondWicoff, head of the Department of PublicWelfare, that facilities be developedpromptly within the county through whichadequate care can be afforded to thechronically ill.

Several counties, Mr. "Wicofi reports,already have made provision to handle thisdifficult problem. He points out the diffi-culties encountered in the hospitalizationand care of this unfortunate group andsees solution of the dilliculty only in theformulation of a detailed program. Furth-ermore, he continues, a long study on hispart has produced a method of approachwhich he will submit to the Board for rati-fication and adoption.

Social welfare agencies long have beenplagued by the necessity of providing ade-quate care for the chronically ill, but havebeen hampered by the inability of a ma-jority of. the hospitals to cope with thesituation, lndigency of patients plus theshortage of beds in most public institu-tions have made the problem acute, withthe result that those not financially ableto be cared for in private hospitals aredeprived proper treatment and comfort.

Mr. Wicoff's annual report to the Boardis crammed with information which shouldbe of vital interest to everyone. He, withhis staff, is performing a valuable publicservice of which the county can well beproud. His achievements in the field of so-cial service, commends his commendationsto the serious consideration of all.

Happy Birthday

Iceland's "Horse-Sense"Senator Gerald P. Nye, of North Dakota,

takes the example of small Iceland, whichexists without an army, to condemn the"world-mad armament race."

Senator Nye considers this "plain every-day horse-sense" on the part of a peoplewho are "not quite so much removed fromthe possibility of foreign attack as is theUnitod States."

The Senator's remarks look like non-sense to us. With 120,000 people, Icelandhas absolutely no chance to protect herself.Consequently, there is little use to attemptthe impossible. If a greater nation decidesto acquire Iceland, there is nothing underthe sun that the Icelanders can do to pre-vent it.

If the people of the United States arecontent to be in the same position, thenthey should follow the example of the Ice-lander and the "plain every-day horse-sense" so greatly admired by the Senatorfrom North Dakota. We do not believethat the people of the Vnited.States enteredthe 'world's mad armament race" throughchoice but rather under compulsion and inthe necessary preparation for the defense

,of their country.

Fireworks DangerousEarly, next month the people of the

United States will celebrate IndependenceDay. Some of them will give vent to theirfeelings through the use of fireworks.

It may be worthwhile, in this connec-tion, to point out that in 1938 there wereeighteen deaths due to the celebration ofthe Fourth of July with fireworks and otherexplosives and seven additional deaths in-directly due to the same cause. In addition,the records of the American Medical As-sociation show nearly 8,000 serious injur-ies of jill kinds from fireworks accidentsduring the observance of Independence Daylast year. Among the accidents were 300eye injuries, 43 of which resulted in'blind-ness in one or both eyes.

The indiscriminate use of fireworks,particularly by young children, is dan-gerous. The explosives used are powerfulenough to maim and injure human beings.Because of this fact, hundreds of citiesand towns have laws prohibiting the saleof fireworks.

It has been suggested that the peopleof a community celebrate the Fourth ofJuly, if they desire to do so, with commu-nity celebrations, including pyrotechnicdisplays under the supervision of experts.This will eliminate most of the accidents inconnection with fireworks, give the peopleof the community a more entertaining spec-tacle and do as much to observe the daytaht marks the anniversary, of Americanindependence.

Sabotage And SubmarinesThe fact that the three great democra-

cies lost one of their latest type submarineswithin a period of less than a month hascaused many people to enink that sabotagehad something- to do with the disasters.

It makes no difference what the expertssay. There will exist in the public mind thesuspicion that something sinister was con-nected with the loss of these ships. The oldsuperstition that disaster strikes in threes isreadily quoted, but those who call it to minddo not recall that the Japanese lost a largesubmarine in February, with a loss of 81lives and that not long ago, a German sub-marine sank in the Baltic.

The idea of sabotage on a submarine isdiscounted by naval experts who point outthat successful sabotage on a submarinewould mean the death of the individual re-sponsible for it. Damage in port or built-in, concealed defects are smiled at by sub-marine experts.

The chances are that the loss of thethree submarines was due to dangers in-herent in submarine operations. Underthe water, an operating error or a humanfailure brings instant tragedy. The perilsof mechanical defects are multiplied forboats that go under the waves. A lightmishap, which might be easily correctedon a surface ship, brings inevitable de-struction.

We do not extend much credence to thetheory of sabotage but we are quite certain,regardless of expert opinion, the idea willpersist in the public mind that somethingsinister caused the recent submarine dis-asters.

Society's Gossip TroubleWestbrook Pepjer, In JV. Y, World-Telegram Suggests

'Sobering Up And Sending The Brats To Bed'

Society news has been a regular ingredient of Ameri-can journalism since my memory runneth not to the con-trary, but it took a sharp downer a short time after thewar when sooiety began to frequent the gutters. Of course

] | there were famous black-mail sheets back in the '90s, butthe majority of the regular papers covered society throughimpoverished ex-members who could not hold up theirend but still were tolerated under a sort of condescension.These society editors and reporters were mostly widowsand daughters who but for the collapse of their fortuneswould have been dowagers and debutantes themselves.They had a hangover of noblesse oblige and wrote flut-tery flattery but were useful in the office as handy com-pendiums of information as to who married whom thirtyyears before and whose daughter it was that eloped withthe coachman.

It is true that society frequented the gutters eventhen, but not the regular public gutters. Society had itsprivate gutters in its exclusive colonies here and abroad,but after the war its members began to invade the ring-side, as you may remember, and discovered that the lowerclasses had tastes much the same as their own.

The lower classes were very democratic. They didn'tobject to society people, and pretty soon the best—whichis to say the worst—speakeasies were enjoying a patron-age composed of a chummy mixture of the Wall Street no-bility, the criminal underworld and occasional sightseersunder the coverage of a new kind of newspaper specialist.

They had never given up hope, forthey had surmounted so many ob-stacles to get Ibis far, surely theirway would not be barred for longnow that they were in sight of theland they had traveled so far toreach. But always the answer was"Maybe tomorrow."

At last one day officials at theconsulate handed the wife her pre-cious envelope. His? They werevery sorry, but he was not listed inthis quota; perhaps the next one.

Wife Declines Entry.Although she was able to cross the

border under the new quota, she re-fused to go until that time when he,too, could accompany her. So eachday they continued their visits andeach day were met by the same re-ply: "Not today; maybe later."

It was his wife who saved him.She found him dangling from a chan-delier in their hotel room, a bedsheet tightly wrapped around hisneck. Aided by two hotel em-ployees, she cut him down and man-aged to revive him. It was then heexplained how, maddened by thesight of the goal which he was un-able to achieve, he had given uphope and sought Ihe only other es-cape he knew—death.

When the immigration officialslearned of the suicide attempt andthe reasons for the attempt, theybroke precedent and granted thecouple a request unusual in depart-ment history.

The new school of voverngp began when a Now Yorkeditor perceived the change and assigned a man to hangaround the dives in the side streets ofl1 Broadway with anexpense account to cover his corkage. But he was such afriendly soul that lie often was scooped on stories whichhe had accepted under seal of personal confidence. So thefield was still open really, and others rushed in unhamper-ed by ethics or knowledge of the newspaper business orany conception of the importance of truth in reporting.

Any dirty hearsay obtained from a washroom boy,bootlegger or jealous hussy was news without further con-firmation, and those papers which have used this kind ofmaterial for the sake of the circulation it would bring areresponsible for this particular innovation and the discrel-it and enmity which it has called down on the newspaperbusiness as a whole.

People who had been libeled or whose intimate affairshad been exposed without justification had no redress, be-cause they stood to catch it worse next time. But publish-ers who had intimate affairs of their own, no lees inter-esting than some which they printed concerning others,protected themselves, proving that they knew it was dirtypool to treat others so.

Breaking Into Society.Meanwhile, however, society has been and remains

partly blameworthy. People who like to think of them-selves as society have gone out fence-walking like cats inthe moonlight, .yowling their private relations for nil tohear and even courting publicity for their vanity's sake upto the point where it ceases to please their vanity andhumiliates them. They send their little, immature (laugh-ers out pub-crawling in saloons infested with rodentcharacters and become indignant when they read littlebits about them which are not exactly constructive.

The indignation of the fox-hunting Virginians who at-tacked a Washington journalist, suggests that society hasits own remedy for gossip. It is not tar and feathers, how-ever. It's to keep out of fumps and to exclude professionalgossips from their private dissipations. Society might alsotry sobering up for a change and sending the brats to bedat night.

A scene from "Juarez"

With The Scouts In TownBy Niels Nielsen !

The Camporee Will Soon BeginWith July just around the cor--

ner, the Troops of the RaritanCouncil arc eagerly awaiting theCamporee to be held on July 11,12, 111 at the Fords Park. AI-jthouph the Arena Show will not be !a feature of this Camporee, a pro- jgram has been developed which .will be just as interesting, both for |Scouts and the general public. [

In a bulletin sent out by Rari- jtan Council Headquarters, the fol- !lowing reasons are given for hav- ;ing a Camporee. !

"Scouting is an outdoor pro- !gram and the Camporee provides jan opportunity for a thrill, goodfriendship ami gwd fun which ap-peals to boys as romance and ad-venture. It stimulates the effici-ency of Troop and Patrol camping.It encourages Scouts and theirboy lea tiers to study camping liter-ature.

The Camporee stimulates thePatrol as a unit. It is a great aidto the Scoutmaster in promotingthe operation of the Patrol Methodin his Troop."

Some of the interesting detailsof the Camporee program includePatrol projects, campcraft dem-onstrations, flag ceremonies, Troopand Council campfires, and testpassing projects.Girl Scout Captain to Act as Camp

Parents Can Help ScouitngParents can help a great deal to

make a boy a "real" Scout. TheScout Organization requires thateach Scout take an oath before hecan become a member. This Oathtogether with the Laws which hepromises to obey, governs his ac-tions as a Scout. Any boy will findit difficult to live up to such aserious promise and it is here thatthe parents must help. Head your.son's Scout Handbook and findout what is required of a trueScout. If he doesn't have a Hand-book, now is the time to get himone. When you have found outwhat the requirements are, urgethe boy to live up to them and helphim in every way possible. Ifyour son is a Cub you should helphim even more, for he is just start-ing out and needs a guiding hand.

A Scout may be able to do agreat number of things but hemust depend upon his parents forpropel1 guidance. Read the ScoutHandbook, talk to the Scoutmaster,and you will soon begin to appreci-ate what Scout training can do foryour son.

Senior Scouting ProgramSeveral attempts have been made

in various Troops of the RaritanCouncil to organize Senior ScoutPatrols for Scouts who are overfifteen years of age. In order tofurther develop this program, theRaritan Council will shortly con-duct a Scoutmasters' TrainingCourse dealing with this phase ofthe Scout Movement.

There is at present only oneSenior Scout Program which isgaining in popularity. This pro-gram is in the field of Journalism.Troop 41 of Avenel began to pub-lish a Troop newspaper severalmonthse ago. Troop 51 of Fordshas been publishing a Troop news-paper since December, 1935. Thecombined staffs of these two pub-lications have held a few meetingsin an effort to formulate someplan for the publication of a Rari-tan Council newspaper. This planwill be presented to the SeniorScouting Committee of the RaritanCouncil, and if accepted it willmark a step forward in the de-velopment of Senior Scouting inthis Council.

Argentine MothSaves Continent

Australia Is Successful inFighting Spread of

Prickly Pear.

WASHINGTON.—A tiny Argentinemoth has saved a continent frombeing turned into desert by a plantwhich was devouring more than 1,-000,000 acres a year, literally drivingfarmers out of their houses and re-sisting attacks with liquid fire. Theplant is the prickly pear, a cactuscommon over the United States,Mexico and Souih America. It hasexisted for many millions of yearsand all over its native habitat iskept under control by various in-sects and the competition of otherplants.

Nearly a half-century ago a fewplants were introduced into Austra-lia from North America, intendedfor flower gardens. The continenthad no cacti of its own and conse-quently had none of the naturalenemies of these plants which havebeen developed by nature over mil-leniums to keep them in control intheir native lands.

The prickly pears found them-selves in an earthly paradise wherethey could run wild with nothing tostop them. By 1925 they had cov-ered more than 60,000,000 acres inQueensland and New South Wales.

Seemed Unsolvable.

The prickly pear is a virile plant,with a tenacious hold on life. De-tached joints or pieces of joints incontact with the ground soon takeroot and grow. The cactus bearsseeds which remain alive for 15years or more. These are scatteredwidely by birds. Before a farmerrealizes what has happened a fewplants have become established onhis land. From that point on thespread is very rapid and the cost ofgetting rid of it more than the landis worth.

But just when the problemseemed unsolvable, came salvationin the form of the little Argentinemoth. Australian entomologists hadhunted all over the Americas forinsects which might help get rid ofthe cactus. There were many ofthese, particularly in the moth fam-ily Phycitidae.

The majority of them, it wasfound, did no real good. Their lar-vae ate the cactus, but the plantwas too tough to be killed by them.

Salvation From South America.The Argentine moth, however,

displayed life habits which admir-ably fitted it to rescue a continent.

Its eggs were laid in strings of 20or 30 from a cactus leaf. All thelarvae hatched at once and proceed-ed to tunnel into the watery leaveslike a single insect. There mightbe thousands of these larvae en-gaged in a joint attack on a singleplant. Usually two or three attacksare necessary to kill one of thehardier plants. After a certain pointits limit of resistance is reached andit seems to collapse suddenly.

There's a ScienceIn Switching Tires

NEW YORK.—Recent researchby the Rubber Manufacturers' as-sociation has led that organizationto issue advice to the public on thebest plan for alternating tires onpassenger cars. Tires should beswitched without dismounting themfrom wheels.

Here is the advice: Switch thewheel positions of tires every 5,000miles or thereabouts, changingwheels without dismounting tires, inthis order: Right front to right rear;right rear to left front; left front toleft rear; left rear to right front.

Camber, caster, toe-in and turn-ing of the wheels, which are neces-sary for steering and turning thecar, affect front lire wear. On theother hand power transmission is adecided factor in rear tire wear butdoes not affect front tires.

High crown roads are a factor infast and irregular tread wear, caus-ing tires to wear more on the insideo£ the tread toward the car, thanon the outside.

Barking Dogs DoomedAs Peril in Air Raids

CHUNGKING. CHINA.—All dogsin Chungking, regardless of owner-ship, must submit to a "bark addic-tion" test to determine whether theyare likely to observe air raid regu>lations during Japanese night at-tacks on the capital.

Dogs with a barking complex willbe killed immediately because theregulations state there shall be nosound whatever in the city when theJapanese planes are overhead.

Suggest Huge TunnelsFor Air Raid Shelter

LONDON.—A proposal to build1,200 miles of steel lined road-ways underneath London, whichwould provide adequate shelterfor the entire population of Lon-don in the event of air raids, hasbeen put forward by R. R. Stokes,M. P., engineer for Ipswich.

More than 5,000 people, it is es-timated, could be accommodatedin every mile of the roadways,which would be 15 feet in diame-ter and 60 feet below the surf a-—of the ground. The cost of con-struction would be 5500,000 amile.

The convenience of the per-son to sit in the chair must be con-sidered, therefore, a chair shouldhave grouped with it a lamp so thatthe person may read if he wishesand also a table where he may placehis book, cigarettes, ash tray, orwhatever he wishes to put there.

Something To Think AboutA fellow doesn't need much of a memory to hark back

to when it was next door neighbor to being a disgrace tobe a beggar.

But this world moves plenty fast And times changeAnd now, being a beggar is a badge of distinction

Like if you are a mayor of a town and you go down toWashington and tell 'em there how many votes you canscare up for them They, the guys dishing out thedough, then ups and gives you two million bucks to builda bigger fish pond in your back yard And you also getre-electe-d yourself at the next election But, if you on-ly got one million then you're a poor excuse for mayor.

At this point, I begin to realize that you're all wonder- b a e for arm, neck and chest exercise,ing what this chatter has to do with sports in Woodbridgetownship To say the least, it ties in very woll withwhat I'm trying to get across Only I've put the moralbefore the story I'm always doing things in reverse.

According to Township Engineer Clarence R. Davis,the township, this week, launched an extensive WPAroad repair program It will cost the municipality$106,363 and ths federal government $329,993 Thattotals $436,356 In plain language, the communityis getting $436,356 worth of improvements for only$106,363 That's good business For, if we don'tget some of our own money back the government maydish it out for a sidewalk project on the country's west-ern prairies.

Now let's get to the point Woodbridgo townshipfinally got for itself an athletic field It's called the Le-gion Stadium To refresh your memory, the field is that | bases. She clippedwide "open" space, with a lot of metal fencing around it, the fifth frame.

Present plans call for a large shoot on the Fourthwith prizes for the high gun. If enough turn out it is plan-ned to have handicap matches as well as the open.

Junior Sportsmen MeetLast Tuesday evening the Junior Sportsmen met at

the headquarters of the Woodbridge Township Fish andGame Association on upper Main Street.

Instruction in shooting of tho small bore rifle wasgiven tho fifty boys present by members of tho oldor or-ganization.

Plans for tho fishing contest, to bo held this fall, worediscussed. This contest is sponsored by the County Federa-tion, which was represented by Uncle Bob Owens.

Salt Water NotesStriped bass are being caught in large numbers along

the Jersey coast. "Reports of large fish caught in tho surfhave come from Spring Lake, Belmar, Island Beach andSeaside Heights.

From Briollo comes good news for the tuna angler.Last week we reported the first tuna of the season beingcaught by the Lows 24 miles out from that fishing resort.Since that time, there have been many caught, both alBeach Haven and Brielle. The boats coming into Bridleon Sunday reported the taking of thirtv-four of thosescrappers. Those fish ran up to fiO pounds in weight. Anumber of much larger ones were lost when tho tacklegave away at .some vulnerable point. One angler report-ed the sea fairly alive with tuna, but they weren't in astriking mood.

An exceptionally large blaekfish was caught recentlyby an East Orange angler at Chincotcague, Virginia. Thisfish weighed 15^ pounds.

Fresh Water NotesA report reached us recently that Bill Allgaier, our

local building inspector and man about town, caught a Ifl1^inch brook trout on of all things, a garden hackle. FJse-whore in this column, Bill, you will find out how to keep1 his hackle in your cellar and it won't bo necessary todig Ihom every ti mo you want to try your luck.

We tried our luck on Farrington Lake recently, butthe bass didn't take well to our floating bugs and spin-ners. We, however, did see two large bass that had beencaught on shiners. One of those fish weighed close topounds. One considerably larger,, A to 5 pounds, wasplavod for some time and lost, when the unlucky angler'sreel worked loose and dropped into the water.

Numbered among tihose who also fished were BundyNcrhcth, of Fords, and our Roving Correspondent,.

Our Delaware River correspondent reports that bassfishing is excellent in the vicinity of Bevans. Tho bass anrunning very largo this year, ranging from 2 to 5 pounds.This is a largo bass in anybody's language. Ho doesn'tsav how these fish are being taken, but wo presume on livebait. ^

LegislationTho surf fishermen of the State lost their fight to the

commercial fishermen when Assembly Bill 330, which fix-es the closed season for striped bass or rock fish and alsoprescribes a bag limit and legal length, was defeated.

A combined membership of Ihc League of Surf Ang-lers and the State Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, withnn estimated membership of 50,000, urged passage of thrbill.

The strongest opposition to tho bill came from OceanCounty. Tho commercial fishermen claim the bill is an ef-fort to deprive them of their livelihood while tho sports-men's group point out that the striped bass is merely asideline of tho commercial fishermen.

Evidently the fight has just begun, as tho league hasdecided it can fight firo wiih fire. They claim that thovwill not stand by and see selfish interest aid the destruc-tion of such a grand game fish, as the striper.

Odds and EndsFrom Columbia, Pennsylvania, comes the following

stnvv about Kenneth Brome, who owns and operates oneof the strangest farms known in this section of the coun-try. Tn the cellar of his home ho has large bins filled withearth in which he raises angle worms.

Broomo has approximately 10.000 worms, most ofwhich were born rind bred on his farm. Mr. Broomo en-visioned n demand for angle worms to bo used for bait,because of the increasing popularity of fishing. Tlis aim isto rhnnge tho color of the nip-ht crawlers from dark brownand black to nink find red. The lighter color will showbettev on hooks and therefore make better bait.

Some of the ni^ht crawlers he raises have attainedthe length of 15 1-2 inches. The color change is broughtabout by the food which he feeds them. At present themain item of food is coffee grounds, of which he uses ap-proximately 18 pounds, together with several pounds ofbran a week.

(Ed. Note: We don't know about the bran, but as a kid, WPkept our garden hackle alive in the cellar, from one year to the nexton coffee grounds.)

INSTALLMENT PLANFOR TAX PAYMENTSINAUGURATED HEREProperty-Owners May Pay

As Little As $5 Month-ly Under Program

INQUIRIES SOLICITED

Delinquents Urged To Take IAdvantage Of Opportu-

nity OfferedWOODBRrDGE—A new system,

which will enable delinquent tax-payers to liquidate their past duetaxes at a rate of as little as fivedollars a month, has been installedthis week by Tax Collector MichaelJ. Trainer.

Discussing the system yester-day, Mr Trainer said:

"The Township is not interestedin taking property away from theowners and we want to help thosein difficulty. Each delinquent tax-payer, taking advanLage of the newinstallment system, is given a book,similar to a bank book, in whichall payments are entered. Withsystematic payment, taxpayers willfind themselves caught up to datein no time. A record is also keptin this office, and when taxpayersskip payment, a reminder will besent to them through the mails."

Mr. Trainer said that there area number of people who put awaymoney in the bank each month withthe idea of paying the taxes atthe end of the year.

"That is a foolish procedure,"Mr. Trainer pointed out, "inas-much as they only receive one ortwo per cent in the bank andhave to pay seven per cent ontheir taxes here."

The tax collector stated thathe hoped many taxpayers wouldtake advantage of the new systemand that he welcomed any inquirieson the subject.
