With the installation of the first
automobile fire fighting apparatus
on Staten Island at the recently or
ganized paid company at Dongan
Hills, paid firemen and volunteers

Is Prince Bay and Pleasant Plains

An application was made to the
supreme court in Brooklyn on Tues
day for the appointment of a COM
mission to appraise and assess the
properties required for the widening
of the Amboy road Huguenot, which
will be one of the parcels of land

ELECTION
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
D. WILLIAM Il. "

The old Christmas ditty runs:
christmas ome but once a year,
But when it comes 1t brings good
cheer"
But does 1t? 1t may for those In
comfortable circumstances, who have
w~herewithal to clothe and feed them
selves; altho even for such it may
bring little Of peace and Joy, because
of some trouble In the life. 1t scarce
ly will for those living on the ragged
edge of poverty, who live from hand
to mouth and know not what a day
may bring forth; altho even for such
1t may bring much of peace and Joy
if there is a care free spirit. Never
theless, altho contentment of mind
does not depend solely upon outward
circumstances, the latter so largely
influences the former, even against
our best intentions, as to handicap
most of us seriously.
Statistics reveal to us that ten
million of the population of these
United States live either in absolute
poverty, or SO nea to 1t that the loss
Of a days work would plunge them
into it.. That means that there is
something for the other ninety mil
lion to do, if all Of us are to have at
least the outward concomitants of
good cheer. Accepting the population
of Perth Amboy as $4,000 in round
numbers, and observing the same
proportion, it means that in our own
city there are at least $500 men,
women and children who are not
likely to enjoy a Merry Christmas
nn1oSS tho rnn,oipin ~ o I E0n 30 ~,
get busy"
The newspapers of some cities are
publishing lists of worthy families,
relating the circumstances of each.
without names and addresses, OF
course, offering to act as the go-be-
tween for any who wish to contribute
toward a Merry Christmas for any
individual family. But there are
agencies In our city who will see to
1t that any amounts contributed are
used In this direction, or who will
bring those who desire it into per-
sonal touch with some family to
whom they might like to serve as
Santa Claus.
Our Salvation Army, for instance,
is collecting funds to furnish Christ
mas dinners to many worthy families
of whom they have knowledge. Miss
Widerstrom always has a list on
hand Of those who are both needy
and worthy. The minister of almos,
any church also has such knowledge,
which he would gladly share with
those b~enevolently minded. Some OF
our lodges, moreover, seek to ad-
dress themselves to such need. So If
the reader Is included among the
$500 referred to above, and is act
uated by the Christmas spirit to-
ward the other $500, there are ways
and means at hand. He in whose
honor the day is celebrated once
said: at is more blessed to give
than to receive" There is no better
time than now to know this by ex-
perience.
