forth generous contributions.
Perth Amboy has reason to be proud of her sons
How proud are we?
We were proud enough Of them as they were arem away

A band escorted them to the station
The fire department turned out.
Factories tied down their whistles.
Say ii was some send-of.
These sons of Perth Amboy, making all kinds OF sacrhces' went
into intensive training at camp.
They went to France.
Thew fought in the Argonne and played an important part in
clearing the read to Sedan which was occupied by the American
forces the day before the armistce was signed.
They bled and died, many of them, that Old Glory might once
more wave in victory for the principles for which this nation stands
Now they are coming back-most of them
Others who have made the supreme sacrifice will be here In
They cannot be forgotten
Does that mean anything to you, Mr.. Citzen9
Mr.. Business MANI
Things looked rather dark when these boys went away.
But they made good. -
They indicated American honor and made this country which
we all love, a safe place to live in.
Have we lost our enthusiasm for themf
We ALI joined in giving them a tumultuous send-of.
Have we lost our interest and enthusiasm now that the war is
over and we are safe once more?
Are we not to give a hang about the boys now since they have
done all that we expected of them?
That is not the Perth Amboy way. This welcome home has got to
eclipse anything we did when the boys went away. We have got to ex-
tend the glad hand in the true Perth Amboy spirit
There is going to be real rejoicing.
Come up, then, folks, with the coin necessary to defray the ex-
penses for this grand and glorious event. If You don't give te any
thing else, here is something that ought to get down to the neanest

Observations

DIR. Shifer, Hun minister of finance, has taken his solemn oath,
not TO surrender an inch of German territory but who would believe
Alum ON his oath?
The Iungarians chose the most efficient means of making it
Budapestlence.
Our statesmen have a marvellous faculty for recognizing the need
of a lock on the stable door after the horse has been stolen.
The reason Austria doesn't become a convert to communism is
because she has observed that one of the articles of the creed is dog
meat.
OF course our statesmen are great and wise men, but in the face
Of Bolshevism we have considerably more confidence in God and
Torh.
We are tired of war, but not too tired to stop the westward march
OF organized murder.
r
Little Roumania stood alone against the Hun and thus won the
privileges of standing alone against Boshevism. But doubtless she
fnas consolation in the fact that we sympathize with her, as we did
before
Concerning this beast of Lenine S we have two courses of action
We can kin it now while 1T is a cub, or fight it vainly when it is full
grown.
History looks down the long corridor of the ages and smiles at
sight of statesmen who think national boundaries can be permanently
fixed.
The sucker looks for big dividends and thinks nothing Of sccur-
ity. aud thus communism becomes the most attractive bait ever offered
the foolish.
A good citizen is one who hopes for the best, prepares for the
werst. and grins regardless of the event

PUSH THE SHIP CANAL

1t would be decidedly a shortsighted policy for the legislature
to sdetrack the appropriation for the proposed ship canal across New
Jersey in order to favor any tunnel or bridge proposition across the
Hudson and Delaware rivers.
As laudable as the tunnel and bridge propositions are, they do
not begin to compare with the ship canal in Importance to the state
as whole. Neither are they as important from the standpoint of the
nation.
The ship canal has been agitated for years; the state has already
made the survey; there remains only the necessary legislation to au
thorize the purchase of the right of way SO that the federal govern
nenf can begin to dig.
Governor Edge has been one of the greatest boosters for this ship
canal Everyone admits its Importance. Why hare it held up any
longerg
That there are ample funds in the state treasury for this appro-
priation is assured. But it seems because there is sufficient money on
hand an effort is being made to divert it to other projects.
Excuses no longer will be acceptable. Every legislature has de-
clared itself in favor of this great project. The time has arrived for
action. 1t is fairly and squarely up to the present session of the legis
failure.

About The rfcClclians.

Editor EVENING NEWS:
AT n regular meeting of h George
B. Mcclellan Engine Company which
was held on Tuesday March IS. we the
undersigned officers were instructed to
ask you, Mr.. Editor. why the George
3. Mcclellan Engine Company does
not get the credit that is justly due
to it when the occasion demands.
AT the fire on March IA, rung in
from Box 81. on the arrival of Chief
j. j. Deveny he Immediately saw that
if the water pressure was not any
better the house that was on fire
would be lost, and perhaps the ada
cent houses would also be Quilted. He
Immediately sent for the McClellans
knowing that the company could
make the fire much quicker than
horse drawn apparatus. and Mr.. Edi-
tor. the chief was right, for 1t was
the consensus of opinion of all the
firemen who worked at the fire that IT
was the motor apparatus that saved
the buildings.
In your issue of March IA and 10
YOU Just mentioned hat an engine
worked at the fire. the reporter who
covered the fire surely could but no.

Boyd engine on that day.

Public Opinion


EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
1t is to be hoped that the city
acquires the gas company's land. The
NEWS is to be commended on its edi-
torial in Wednesdays paper on the
subject.
Ii the land is acquired as a memo
rial TO our dead soldiers and sailors,
what about the living ones?
Personally I'm not a member of the
New Jersey State Militia Reserve but
l believe they are entitled to an arm
DRY that the city of today and tomor-
row might well pc proud of to be
built on the gas company land.
A two-story building with a base
ment for lockers (for the boys only),
Kitchen, shower baths, etc; the first
floor being the reception floor, for
drilling or social gathering, and the
second floor devoted to dancing. 1
would also suggest hat the second
floor open out on a piazza overlook
ing the water.
The armory would not only be for
the boys but evenings could be set
| aside for h girls exclusively, and
I'm sure the teachers would be more
than willing to chaperon such even
lings.
1t would also provide the necessary
recreation cente for the young folks
of the city.
The only dance hall I've been in,
in this city where you couldn't get
away with trough STUFF at any of its
affairs is in the Parish House on Rec
tor street, but their affairs are few
and far between.
The different companies could run
off dances each week and would not
only be socially but financially bene-
hted.
The affairs being run by a military
company would soon bring the
"slackers'' (including myself9 into the
ranks.
Yours for pacemaking city in ae-
ton as well as name.
