Harry Moore today expressed his deepest VlCTIM OF TRAGEDY sympathy oven the death of Miss Harriet Short. It is a tragedy to Woodbridgo Township land to the State at large that a girl who gave such promise as "M, 0Ut9tan(l 'nK. citizen, a model for others with whom she came in con- tact, should have her life' taken in tho bloom of her youth," said Gov- ernor Moore. "This girl was known and beloved by her townsfolk, by the people with whom she dame in contact in her everyday, life. Her family and her friends have my deepest sympathy." Governor Moore thus expressed his grief over the tragedy which shocked the entire Township. In an exclu- sive interview with The Independent, he pointed out that he was not vested with the power to peremptorily order the elimination of the Green Street Crossing, 'that being" a matter entire- ly within the jurisdiction of the Pub lie Utility Commissioners. A number or townspeople, including clergy, telegraphed or wrote to Governor 4- ernor advised that they communicate "spiffy" than even the outgo- V t mployed And bo p g mr IV-mocrats employed.

Towmhip Delegation. Although a committee of the Township Committee was designated to discuss the matter with the Util- ity Hoard, it was stated yesterday that the delegation had not as yat presented the matter. "In view of the public opinion in this case," said Emmett Drew, Sec- retary of th« Board, "we have start- ed a preliminary inquiry of our own in this matter so that we can dis- cuss it thoroughly with the Township officials at the earliest possible date. "All grade crossings in tho State,' 1 he continued, "are classified accord- ing to the danger they constitute. Tho Green street crossing is in Class A, which means that ns soon as all the circumstances will permit, the Board will direct its elimination." A.s the annual State appropria- tions bill has not a.s yet been formu- lated, it is impossible to ascertain how much innticy will be availably for crossing elimination this you?.

"Selling liquor without license is not going to be tolerated in the Township," said Mr. Gerns.

Be Checked By State, Mayor Greiner States Certain Phases Of Township Records To-Be Re-checked Within Near Future. OLD RECORDS CONFUSING A special meeting of £he Board of Education, probably will be held next week to iron out differences which threaten to iprevent 3,518 Wond- bridge Township-, school children from having dental work at CWA ex- pense. ' • Roy E. Anderson, a member of the Board, proposed the meeting to rec- oncile the" views of all his colleagues and those ofj various dentists in the county and township, who will su- pervise the work. The exact date, for the special session has not-been de- cided upon at the present, but Mr. Anderson hoped that a date early in the week would be agreed upon. With the pressure of other affairs, including the formulation of tho 1934-1935 budget, the school board has been unable to give to the den- tal project the time and considera- tion it requires, and for this reason, next week'3 meeting will ibe devoted exclusively to that subject. Although the present status of the matter involves the necessity for par- ents to send their children to New Brunswick: if their teeth need atten- tion and, they are to be assisted un- der the CWA project, Mr. Anderson is hopeful that this requirement wijl be averted an»1tet^'lfe»l;ailf^rt^ can d<? ttw.wp,TjS, m r«^.- i \C^.'.- , - v . ^ ;: . * Developments which culminated in the removal from local dentists of the opportunity to da the work, were many. One of the reasons advanced was that the Board would bo unable to finance the costs of transporting children from outlying parts of the Township into the center. Eumors were prevalent, however, that some members of the board were piqued because of the ifailure of authorities to include the name of Dr. Seymour Deber in the liit of approved practi- tioners in the CWA work. Dr. Deber, it was pointed out, has cooperated as have other dentists in the town, with the school board in caring for the teeth of children whose parents have been unable to pay.

The prospects | mltteo and a considerable number of mont.i Township Committee-man Harry M. Gerns, chairman of the police for a considerable increase are ing.ly certain at this\-time. The point was made that the in- crease will be largely attributable to the fucLCthat the bonded indebted- ness of the Township places certain fixed obligations which cannot be avoided, such as interest and cany- ing charges on the bonded obliga- tions. These charges were estimated at $250,000. The indications were that all these charges were not speci- fically designated or carried in prev- ious budgets, "It is distressing to contenl/p'late a raise in the tax rate when everyone is so pressed that they can hardly meet the present requirements, said one member, "The fact is, however, that we feel the , people of Wood- bridgo Township should know.all the circumstances. We inherited all these debts and confusion and it is our in- tention to straighten them out. We cannot do this, however, by hiding any of the facts.

It is un- derstood that Mr. Braverman has practically completed his work. More pertinent to most, however, concerns the possibility of state audi- tors doing the work. Previously, Walter R. Darby, Commissioner of Municipal Accounts, was none too pleased with the Township's manner of keeping books and has been rath- r insistent that a new bookkeeping rocedure be instituted. Mayor August F. Greiner stated. yesterday that he contemplates hav- ng some examinations made just as soon as State auditors are available. He said that) Mr. Darby had been to Woodbridge and that arrangements were completed to have the State men come here! just as soon as they have completed work that already was under way in Asbury Park. Just when these men would be vailable was not clear to the May- or, but he stated he would insist that certain phases of the old records which hitherto have been somewhat confusing,toeanalyzed and put un- der the microscope. Mr. Greiner is pledged to this action. In the meantime, there are some items which are not sufficiently ex- planatory to please many persons in- terested in the Town's fiscal welfare.

Nearly $34,000 was cut from the Board's current! expense account, which in the 1933-34 budget was $323,000.

The police of Woodbridge are not going to be in this category. They have la definite obligation to tho community and to its citizens to protect life and pro- perty. So far as they are able, they will fulfill that obligation." Mr. Gerns has asked that a com- mittee of policemen ba appointed by the whole force'to discuss (the 1 matter with him.

A' portion of this com- mission wtas paid by last year's Township Committee, and is re«Qv- erable by an action at law. The total fees were estimated at $20,000. The possibility has been expressed also that action can betiaken against the violators under the Crimea' Act, Mr. McElroy stated^ that in view of the fact that previous payments were illegal, he had advised the pres- ent administration to make no fur- ther allocations to the brokers. He ' exipected, however, that the iirra would bring a civil action in an effort to recover what it alleges is due.

The statute upon which Mr. Mc- Elroy baaed his decision was adopted in 1922 and specifically prohibits the payment !by a county or municipality of any commission, fee, or. bonus to anyone for marketing its bonds or obligations.

Mr. Kalquist explained the use of jewels in automobiles,' the moving picture industry, meters, electrical equipment, gauges and other fields, He said the sapphire is employed extensively. "Synthetic sapphires, made in laboratories are more uni- form than natural ones which ai - e ob- tained in quantities from Ceylon, Australia and Montana. The best stones of this type come from Mon- tana placer deposits. It is almost im- possible . totell the difference be- Aveen the real and synthetic stones. "The biggest users of jewels are manufacturers of electric meters," continued Mr. Kalquist. "It has been 'ound by them that after five years iverage service, the jewels show no wear. Stones are - also extensively used in railway signals, scales, com- passes and so forth. ' "The use of jewels in movie sound equipment has made it possible to get the 'recording machines from 3,000 up to 15,000 cycles.; A sapphire cutter, which is very hard' is employ- ed to cut the original wmx or masiter record from which copies are made. 1 ' Mr. Kalquist said' the jewels used in watches are worth from five to seven cen^s apiece. - Tflophone Wpodbridge 84)60,5 SERVICE HARDWARE CO.

sympathy oven the death of Miss Harriet Short.It is a tragedy to Woodbridgo

Township land to the State at largethat a girl who gave such promise as"M, 0Ut9tan( l 'nK. citizen, a model forothers with whom she came in con-tact, should have her life' taken intho bloom of her youth," said Gov-ernor Moore.

"This girl was known and belovedby her townsfolk, by the people withwhom she dame in contact in hereveryday, life. Her family and herfriends have my deepest sympathy."

Governor Moore thus expressed hisgrief over the tragedy which shockedthe entire Township. In an exclu-sive interview with The Independent,he pointed out that he was not vestedwith the power to peremptorily orderthe elimination of the Green StreetCrossing, 'that being" a matter entire-ly within the jurisdiction of the Publie Utility Commissioners. A numberor townspeople, including clergy,telegraphed or wrote to Governor

Towmhip Delegation.Although a committee of the

Township Committee was designatedto discuss the matter with the Util-ity Hoard, it was stated yesterdaythat the delegation had not as yatpresented the matter.

"In view of the public opinion inthis case," said Emmett Drew, Sec-retary of th« Board, "we have start-ed a preliminary inquiry of our ownin this matter so that we can dis-cuss it thoroughly with the Townshipofficials at the earliest possible date.

"All grade crossings in tho State,'1he continued, "are classified accord-ing to the danger they constitute.Tho Green street crossing is in ClassA, which means that ns soon as allthe circumstances will permit, theBoard will direct its elimination."

OLD RECORDS CONFUSING

A special meeting of £he Board ofEducation, probably will be held nextweek to iron out differences whichthreaten to iprevent 3,518 Wond-bridge Township-, school childrenfrom having dental work at CWA ex-pense. ' •

Roy E. Anderson, a member of theBoard, proposed the meeting to rec-oncile the" views of all his colleaguesand those ofj various dentists in thecounty and township, who will su-pervise the work. The exact date, forthe special session has not-been de-cided upon at the present, but Mr.Anderson hoped that a date early inthe week would be agreed upon.

With the pressure of other affairs,including the formulation of tho1934-1935 budget, the school boardhas been unable to give to the den-tal project the time and considera-tion it requires, and for this reason,next week'3 meeting will ibe devotedexclusively to that subject.

Although the present status of thematter involves the necessity for par-ents to send their children to NewBrunswick: if their teeth need atten-tion and, they are to be assisted un-der the CWA project, Mr. Andersonis hopeful that this requirement wijlbe averted an»1tet^'lfe»l;ailf^rt^can d<? ttw.wp,TjS,mr«^.-i\C^.'.- , -v .^ ; :

One of the reasons advancedwas that the Board would bo unableto finance the costs of transportingchildren from outlying parts of theTownship into the center. Eumorswere prevalent, however, that somemembers of the board were piquedbecause of the ifailure of authoritiesto include the name of Dr. SeymourDeber in the liit of approved practi-tioners in the CWA work. Dr. Deber,it was pointed out, has cooperated ashave other dentists in the town, withthe school board in caring for theteeth of children whose parents havebeen unable to pay.

for a considerable increase areing.ly certain at this\-time.

The point was made that the in-crease will be largely attributable tothe fucLCthat the bonded indebted-ness of the Township places certainfixed obligations which cannot beavoided, such as interest and cany-ing charges on the bonded obliga-tions.

Program To MinimizeR R. Accidents Urged

Ralph S. Kelly Offers Plan T<jEliminate Casualties.

HOPES FOR CO-OPEJtATION

To minimise the possibility ofaccidents at the Green Street rail-way grade crossing, Kalph S. Kellyof BG8 Linden avenue today presen-ted a plan which he believes theTownship Committee should presentto the railroad officials. /

"Since that terrible catastrophe,"he said; referring to tho trugjc deathof Mis^ Harriet Short, "which hasleft the whole town aghast, we allshould bond our efforts to avoid a:repetition. Our sympathy is extendedto the iparenta of the. girl who losther life. We who have Children ofour own toe left with a dreaded fea.",so lot ua try to prevent accidents."

Mr, Kelly, advocating a campaignof caution in the schools, offered! thefollowing plan:v "If all trains that stop at ^pbridge blocked the crossing, it wouldremove one temptation to cross whenthe gatea were- down.

"If all tnains going north wouldstop with the engine at least tenfeet north of the crossing and alltrains going: south would stqp, s,o th*last car was at 1-east ten feet northof the crossing the trains- would thenact as a .Worrier which most people

taxpayers feel that the twice-overwould be more satisfactory. It is un-derstood that Mr. Braverman haspractically completed his work.

More pertinent to most, however,concerns the possibility of state audi-tors doing the work. Previously,Walter R. Darby, Commissioner ofMunicipal Accounts, was none toopleased with the Township's mannerof keeping books and has been rath-r insistent that a new bookkeepingrocedure be instituted.

Mayor August F. Greiner stated.yesterday that he contemplates hav-ng some examinations made just as

soon as State auditors are available.He said that) Mr. Darby had been toWoodbridge and that arrangementswere completed to have the Statemen come here! just as soon as theyhave completed work that alreadywas under way in Asbury Park.

Just when these men would bevailable was not clear to the May-

or, but he stated he would insist thatcertain phases of the old recordswhich hitherto have been somewhatconfusing, toe analyzed and put un-der the microscope. Mr. Greiner ispledged to this action.

In the meantime, there are someitems which are not sufficiently ex-planatory to please many persons in-terested in the Town's fiscal welfare.

The policeof Woodbridge are not going to bein this category. They have la definiteobligation to tho community and toits citizens to protect life and pro-perty. So far as they are able, theywill fulfill that obligation."

Mr. Gerns has asked that a com-mittee of policemen ba appointed bythe whole force'to discuss (the1 matterwith him.

One of the incidentals to-be decided will b« the selection of aproper.site on which to set up a t)ar-get range. !

It is likely Avenel will lend stronfsupport to Arthur N. Nelson, its candidate. • Nelson is qualified^ forBoard office. He has a wide circle 0friends in the municipality.

Women of the Township areported'to -be solidly behind Mrs. Ash.er P, FiU Randolph, of Rahway ayenue, the lone woman in tho race.

Besides Willard Dunham, Roy E.Anderson, Woodbridge, and T. Wes-ley Lidd|e, of Fords, are the remain-ing incumbents seeking to return tothe Board, Kufus.B. Allen, of Fords,and Albert F. iSchicker, of Hopelawn,will also be on tho ballot.

The old administration contractedwith the firm, of B. J, Van Ingen and •Company, to .refinance the bondswhich came due last year and adopt-' ied an ordinance-permitting paorment ""of one and one-hnir per cent, of thetotal amount of the obligations, for .the Bervice. A' portion of this com-mission wtas paid by last year'sTownship Committee, and is re«Qv-erable by an action at law. The totalfees were estimated at $20,000.

The possibility has been expressedalso that action can be tiaken againstthe violators under the Crimea' Act,

Mr. McElroy stated^ that in viewof the fact that previous paymentswere illegal, he had advised the pres-ent administration to make no fur-ther allocations to the brokers. He 'exipected, however, that the iirrawould bring a civil action in aneffort to recover what it alleges isdue.

Mayor August F. Greiner statedthat no decision has been made upto the present time as to the courseof action he and his colleagues wouldtake regarding the matter, but in-dicated that as soon as the entiresituation could be clarified thatproper action in the interest of thotaxpayers would ibe taken.

The statute upon which Mr. Mc-Elroy baaed his decision was adoptedin 1922 and specifically prohibits thepayment !by a county or municipalityof any commission, fee, or. bonus toanyone for marketing its bonds orobligations. In the'face of this stat-utory inhibition, the old administra-ion formally (adopted an ordinancepecifying the payment of a commis-sion of one and one-half per cent tohe New York firm.

Although no penalty was containedin this act, lawyers were agTee<Lth»tviolations could be prosecuted Under;he ordinary practice in such case*.

"There is no^doubt," said.Mr. Mc-Slroy, "that whatever payments have „ * .teen, made to this firm were illegal.

How much they amounted to, is al-most impossible to determine at this ,;ime, but we are making every efforto get this tangle straightened out.: have advised the committee tonake no further payments to cover;ho total of the fees that are alleged,o bo due, although I expect that theinn will seek redress against us in;he courts.

He said the sapphire is employedextensively. "Synthetic sapphires,made in laboratories are more uni-form than natural ones which ai-e ob-tained in quantities from Ceylon,Australia and Montana. The beststones of this type come from Mon-tana placer deposits. It is almost im-possible . to tell the difference be-Aveen the real and synthetic stones.

"The biggest users of jewels aremanufacturers of electric meters,"continued Mr. Kalquist. "It has been'ound by them that after five yearsiverage service, the jewels show nowear. Stones are - also extensivelyused in railway signals, scales, com-passes and so forth. '

"The use of jewels in movie soundequipment has made it possible toget the 'recording machines from3,000 up to 15,000 cycles.; A sapphirecutter, which is very hard' is employ-ed to cut the original wmx or masiterrecord from which copies are made.1'

Mr. Kalquist said' the jewels usedin watches are worth from five toseven cen^s apiece.

"1 am prepared to issue a rulingmaking a system of one price quota-tion mandatory upon dealers in thisarea, providing the manufacturersmeet my objections by including insuch prices the dealer' costs a.sspecified in the code."

"The Detroit scheme, meritorius inprinciple.'i'is in its arithmetic, anattempt to pass on to the dealer therise in the list prices of automo-biles," ho added. "This rise in pricesis justified because the manufacturerhas been put to added expense as a

[result of the N. R. A. On the otherhand, the dealer also has increased

j his cost of operation for the sam?reason.

"I want to make clear that thssums added to the price of the carwhen loaded in Detroit are legitimateiri that they represent actual moneys"spent by the dealer in the mechanicalbusiness of delivering the vehicle tothe customer's door.

"The dealers' cost of operationhave increased, as a result of theNSA, about 15 per cent which totalsin ti.!- district alone several millionsof dollars annually. They believewith me that a one-price system, isa good one, but they cannot accepta scheme that will compel them toput out of their own pocket the ex-pense of items which in every otherbusiness in the country constitutes alegitimate part of the cost of distri-bution."

The Woodbridge Tracksays about

The NEW FORD V-8vl PICKED a Ford V-8 for the 1933 Stock Car Race

at Elgin and I thought it was a great car when it

brought me home in front. It takes a lot of automo-

bile to average 80.22 miles an hour for 200 miles over

a course like that.

"When I heard that the 1934 Ford V-8 was even

better than the 1933 job I was just a little doubtful.

It just didn't seem possible, but I thought I'd find out.

"I could see it was better-looking, but I wasn't much

Interested in that. The thing a racing driver looks at

is the engine. How does it sound? How is it built?

Hbw fast will it go? How does it stackrup on gas

and oil?

' ' "So I took it out on the road and opened it up. It

held the road like a veteran and the way that speed*

femetor touched the top numbers was something to

talk about. If I'd had that car in the Elgin race I'd

have averaged closer to 90 than 80.

"You can put me down as saying this New Ford

V-8 is going to go places in 1934. It's a sweet job all

the way through and that new dual carburetion system

is going to save you a lot of money on gasoline."*

Choice Stock Fawl».Our young friend, Ellis F, Edgiar, is in receipt of a collection, of

choice stock and fancy fowls superior to any ever brought to this State'and equal to any in the country. The collection numbers about twentyin pairs and trios, and cost in the aggregate over $300.

r Those fowls were recently purchased by Mr. Edgar in Bo&ton, butare all imported. We understand the owner intended to take them toCalifornia as soon as a second edition arrives per Eurojpean steamer.The fowls are cooped on the premises of Mr. Joseph lyoclcwood, near thisplace, and is really a sight worth seeing to thoso who take on interestsuch things. In the lot is a pair of Elden geese, weighing 65 ipounds,al?o a irio of ducks which cost $50. .A Telling Lecture.

The Parlors of the Presbyterian church were crowded to their ut-most capacity on Monday evening to listen to a lecture, or more properlya speech, from Mr. Wm, C. Soutar, a reformed drunkard of Ntewark. Th'jpersonal experience of the reformation of one who had been a confirmeddrunkard for fwenty:five years is something well worth listening to, anila? the speaker warmed with his theme, it was evident ttyat the audiencewere in thornuph sympathy with him, and deeply moved nt the Vecital offile's, portrayed in such an earnest manner. He was followed by Mr.Hall, of Newark, also a reformed drunkard. A son of Mr. Soutar waapresent, nnd recited with much fooling a poem on "Womans' Influence inthe Temperance Cause'*. • \ . ' •

THE SALES TAXImposition of a sales'tax in New Jersey has become to be

a perennial proposal, the lawmakers apparently Relievithat if they keep at it long enough they will be able to batterdown the mighty opposition which annually meets their plan.

There are, of course, two sides to this proposition as thereare to any. The State feels it needs more money. The re-tailers feel they cannot afford to gamble with the effect thisnew form of taxation will have on their various businesses andtherefor, combat the proposal at every hand.

All the experts apparently have agreed that the tax basein New Jersey should be broadened. They point out that reaestate now bears the-whole burden and that property ownerspay the whole cost. But what of the $66,000,000 that comesannually from automobile, gasoline and oil taxes, taxes on, in-heritances, levies on public utility franchises? The base, iseems, is broader than the experts would have us believe.

The'necessity at this ttme obviously is for more judiciouspending of the present income than for new taxation.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDEDThe Township Committee has a rather hopeless task, bu

certainly an important one, in making up the budget for 1934At a time when the Township's income has been so sen

ously curtailed as to make difficult the meeting of even ordinary operating expenses, the Commiti.ee must devise ways an<means of providing interest and amortization charges on thmunicipality's bonded obligations. The State Sinking Fun>Commission, which holds more than $3,000,000 of our bondshas had no interest'since last January and only a partial payment was made/at that time. The credit of Woodbridge Towrship will collapse the moment our bonds are in. default.

The preferred request of the Committee for the advice ancounsel of the townspeople cannot be ignored. Theije appearto he but few ways in which current expenses can be curtailed ""tt(* wi?he.d ,th"'e h.ad *e,en ;J J * •' , • humdane last election day, then,Whenever an instance is found that wijl permit even tho I said Mabel, having her little joke,slightest cut in costs that opportunity must not be overlooked.The help of eveiy citizen should be given the Committee inseeking out those instances. |

THE CWAFrom the standpoint of the general public welfare, it is

distressing to contemplate abandonment of the CWA now.Any rational person who is willing,-, can readily detect

weaknesses of administration in this movement. Politics andfavoritism have unfortunately crept into the despensing of em-ployment opportunities. Many undeserving persons, becausetheir partisan pedigree was satisfactory, have been placed onthe rolls although there, was no proof they were needed orthat they needed the work. !

The fact rem/jins, however, that hundreds of thousands ofunemployed, men and women with dependents, have basedtheir hopes of carrying on through the remainder of .the winteron the probability! that funds would be continued to the CWA.If this program is permitted to go on at least until May 1, it willcarry the vast army of unemployed to the season of ijheyearwhen normal outdoor work will absorb a large portion of it.

The condition of the Federal treasury,1 with its anticipateddeficit of $30,000,000,000 cannot be overlooked. But neithercan 4,000,000 unemployed persons.

JUST IN PASSINGWithout any desire to have, the last word, there appears

to be an inconsistency in the position of Mr. Jacob G. Gerns inregard to his application for a permit to retail liquov.

• He vehemently asserts he expects no favor to assist himand his partner in obtaining permission to operate a liquorestablishment in Fords. That, conceivably, is true. It doesseem, however, that in view of the fact he has a brother on theTownship Committee thatj he might reasonably expect slightlymore consideration than just anyone. If a brother will notextend himself to help, to whom then can we turn?

liut, if Mr. Gerns asked no favor and.received none, therecan be no reuson why he should abandon his project purelybecause someone inquired about "it.

If you haven't garnished a steakwith half peaches tlaken from a canyou have missed a treat that is aspretty as it is delicious. Place thehalf canned peaches on the broilerwhen you turn the steak the ' lasttime. In each peach-half place one-fourth teaspoon of butter. The pea-ches heat thru quickly—they arealready cooked of course in can-ning. It's only a matter of a fewminutes till they are ready to serve.Place the peaches around the steakon the butter platter and serve pip-ing hot.Sauted Pineapple Slices with HamTo serve pineapple slices with ham.

is equally good. Since ham is notprepared on the broiler—use la skil-let for preparing the canned pine-apple slices. Place a little butter orham fat in the skillet and quicklysaute the slices of pineapple in it.Cook it quickly—just enough, to heat .it through. The pineapple &nd ham.flavors blend particularly w-e-11.

From CommissonLiberation Of 20,000 Rabbit,

Started This Week In AllParts Of The State.

HUNTERS' AID REQUESTED

Distribution of 20,000 western cottontnil rabbits, imported from thowest to improve hunting next foilwas started this week in all parts ofNew Jersey, the State Fish and Gan^Commission announces.

Because of lack of funds due toa decrease of license income durin?the past few years, the State -was un-able to buy •western rabbits last yearand as a result, some sections of tht>State reported a dearth of the cot-tontails during the 1933 uplandgame season. In other areas huntersfound the rabbite plentiful.

By economizing _ in other direc-tions, the Commission this year hasbeen able to make a, record importvtion. As the cottontail rabbit is afamous and prolific 'breeder, gamewardens estimate the progeny of tho20,000 imported rabbits will havepassed the half million mark.

Cooperative measures to ' protectrabbits from cats;-foxes,-cn)ws, dogsrunning nt large and from other pre-dators, were requested by the Sta^eCommission from organized sports-men. The commission stated thatsome conservationists estimate thattramp cats annually destroy in N«wJersey enough young rabbits to growinto a market meat value of nearly aquarter-million dollars by the opon-ing date of the autumn hunting per-iod.

(aroons trimmed Woodbridge in the first game of the season for thaLirkleskimen, Jost camo within a point of taking scoring honors. "Fitzorted his cross-river team to the Barron avenue floor Tuesday night, and

he and his boys didn't go home very much Jostized, it's a mystery.Jost's performance against 'South River this week is without a doubt

kis most brilliant effort of the season. Woodbridgt headed the Maroons| t the half, 1&-12. Jost scored five of his team's points. He wasl warni-ng up.

In one of the wildest, wooliest, boom-bangist fourth quarters everjlaycd on the Barron avenue floor, Jost stepped into the role of humanpachine gun and with deadly precision, whipped the leather through thebops time after time to crush a South River outfit which was poised topll a dose game from the fire.

Jost scored three baskets in two minutes, each one from a differentfcgle, and not one ia set shot. He bored through thfc Jlwoon defense like

nan possessed. They couldn't slop him. Displaying almost incrcdibbed and accuracy, he was a team in himself agbin^t the Eitzpatrick-

nnd well they knew it when the finiil gun found them on the short| d of a 42 to 2C count.

Jost was not alonu in his brilliance, but he whs by far the most out-anding performer, both offensively nnd defensively. Campbell and Leff-

played important parts in the slaughter but Frankie J. stood head landilderii above everyone on the floor from the standpoint of skill and

pye".Frank Kirkleski owes uch of his success as basketball eoUch this

ason to Jost, fur only once in six games has the blonde terror let himOwn and then because of an off-night occasioned by lack of practice.

Jost has scored 09 points in six games. The team has; scored! a tjotalISO, which makes, Frankie look darned good. Ilis floor work is almost

ss. He's heady and never gets up in the air. Take my advice,lirklcski, keen a weather eye on the boy. You need him. He's thehper-sparkplug that makes your machine look like something.
