Every pressure must be brought to bear upon congress to give
this matter immediate attention. The War Department must not be
allowed to pigeon-hole it while it is engrossed IN the rehabilitation
Of the army. We know that Congressman Scully will do everything
he TO rush matters and 50 will Senator Frehnghuysen, who Is

Community singing is not 10 be abandoned in Perth Amboy. The
interest manifested by the people last Sunday was so encouraging
that those in charge of this weekly event have decided that 1T Is

the sing than there had been at all the other sings put togeth-

been done and that are under contemplation by the trade board.
