estimated and bumped the bumps
along the Pennsylvania right of way
at the south approach to the county
bridge, or wended their way through
the Pennsylvania needles eye or
"hole-in-the-wall' at Mechanicsville.
AS the automobilists had to choose
either way to pass through South
Amboy, enroute to the coast and re-
turn, many decided to go through
the "hole" and thousands took their
chances passing over the ruts IN the
stretch Of road controlled by the
Pennsylvania and connecting Broad
way, South Amboy, with the county
road leading over the Raritan bridge.
Nearly 5000 automobiles crossed
the Staten Island ferry over the
weekend and holiday, and for every
one crossing the ferry 1t Is estimated
at least FIVE passed through the city
by way of Prospect street. Mayor
Garretson and Chief of Police Burke

looked at the draped emblem of the
nation flurrying in the breeze above
the flag staff carried by a Westmin-
ster Cadet at the memorial services
yesterday morning on concluding ap
eloquent and inspiring oration at st.
Mary's cemetery.
Not for years was there such a
spontaneous show of patriotism
throughout the whole city and the
remaining veterans of the blue
marched with pride through yeritable
bowers of Old "Glories" that bedeck
ed the houses and yards along the
mile route to the graves OF the Un-
ion soldiers who had gone before"
Hardly a resident along the line Of
march neglected to show his Ameri-
canism by a display of the nations
flag, at a time of such grave interna-
tional crises.
Memorial Day was marked by
much outfiowing of the population
to recreation centers, and by crush
of automobile traffic through the city
to points along the south shore.
Memorial services were held at
different churches Sunday night and
Sunday afternoon, with the Westmin-
ster Cadets joined in honoring the
dead resting in the grave yards of the
sister city with services befitting the
memory of departed soldier.
