LET'S GET GOING

Health Omcer Thompson's idea for an infant welfare sta
ton under the direction of the Board Of Health is, without a
doubt, the better plan for a City like Perth Amboy, the thing
is to get something started. Even a beginning on a small scale
would accomplish something and would give the people an idea
of the value of such an institution. Once it is working properly
there is no question about it's support in the future.
With a corps of efficient nurses at work and an infant wei
fare station in operation results are bound to be noticed ana
once these results are shown there will be no letting up ol Ue
work; on the contrary, there will be a demand 1or greater serV-
ice in this direction and Perth Amboy will not have to accept
a top notch position among the cities Of the country in the mat
Ter of a baby death rate.
In the meantime, there are other health matters that re-
quire attention and it is not all up to the Board OF Health, eth
er, except as that board might take action to compel the Board
Of Aldermen to do its duty. One of the greatest nuisances to be
abated is the manner In which the many city sewers are al
lowed to empty along the shore and on the beaches where
hundreds of people seek pleasure and recreation. This out
rage has continued now year after year in the face OF ncreas-
ing protest. 1t is time for the aldermen to take up this mat
ter with the seriousness that it deserves and have the various
sewer run together into a single trunk sewer and carried lar
out into the bay.
Of course, the proper thing is to have a city plan so that
this work can be done to conform herewith. The city plan
would provide for the city sewer system for years to come ana
would settle a vexatious problem. The mayor and aldermen
have even gone SO far as to appoint a committee to investigate
the matter. That was some time ago. Nothing has since come
Of the matter, although public sentiment, as far as the EVEN
ING NEWS has been able ito ascertain, is decidedly In favor OF
a city plan. Let us have il, by all means, and let us get to work
to cleaning up our waterfront before the big things that are
bound to come in the near future begin to break.
The Board of Health can help in this matter for a city
plan would go a long way toward eliminating some of the con-
ditions that the health authorities have to deal with. But no
city plan is needed to get the infant welfare station in opera
tion. It's time to begin to see some of these things moving.

READY o ACTION

Lot owners in Alpine cemetery have made an excellent
start in the matter of improving conditions in the cemetery.
An organization has been completed and it is to be incorporat-
ed. The object is to improve the general condition OF the lots
al e1e cenBetery in general, and to look after the interests OF
the members.
Time has passed when a private corporation can keep
control of anything as public as a cemetery and run II as IL
pleases irrespective of the wishes Of the hundreds OF people
who have invested in lots and have buried their dead there.
The final resting place of the loved ones who have passed on
Is held sacred in the minds of those. who have been lett De-
hind. Naturally, they want to see the place kept IN at least a
respectable condition and made as beautiful and attractive as
possible. w.,
Cemeteries today are veritable parks in most places. Win
their winding paths and driveways, their beautiful trees,
shrubbery and closely cut grass, they are a delightful place TO
visit and leave nothing to be desired as a home for the dead.
Persons who have visited cemeteries elsewhere and then have
had occasion to go to Alpine cemetery, the principal burylng
ground for Perth Amboy, have been forcibly impressed with
the contrast. The local cemetery has been and is a disgrace to
the city.
Better things may be looked for from now on. The lot
owners Justly feel that they are entitled to some say IN the way
the cemetery is managed. They are determined that the con-
dition which has caused them to blush with shame every time
they have had occasion to take non-residents to visit the GEM
etery shall be remedied. They want a cemetery Of which they
cansfeel proud a cemetery worthy of the dead they bury
therein.
Every lot owner should have an interest in this movement.
Ii is something that is bound to benefit all. With a unity of
action and with active support the organization just formed
can make Alpine cemetery one of the beauty spots in the state.

FOR A NATIONAL GUARD

Action on the part of the federal government to reorgan-
ie the National Guard in the different states reminds us Of
the movement on foot here to have our own militia reserve,
which has won such an enviable reputation as a home guard
during the war, made a part of the regular state militia when
the reorganization takes place.
The matter has been considered by the Council of De-
Tense of this city and the military companies have been given
every encouragement toward forming a permanent organiza-
tion. If action is being taken to get the various National
Guard units in operation it is time for those interested in
Perth Amboy's soldiers to take such steps as are necessary to
put the local battalion in line for recognition.
That there is much interest here in military affairs is evil
dent from the enthusiastic manner in which the members of
the respective companies of the militia reserve turn out for
drill. This interest could be greatly enhanced by passing COM
pletely under state control and having all the advantages of
fered by the state and federal governments.
With one or more companies of the National Guard here
Perth Amboy will be in a position to request the erection of an
armory for the men, something that has been badly needed
ever since the companies have been organized. The work that
has been carried on SO efficiently during the war could then
proceed much more advantageously.
Let the leaders in the Council of Defense, particularly
the men who make up the military companies, get busy in this
National Guard movement and see what can be done before
New Jerseys quota is completed and Perth Amboy has been
left out.
