SHIPBUILDING PROGRAM
(By Associated Press.)

Detroit, Mich, June 16.-When the
shipbuilding program for 1919 is COM
pleted in November, the yards of the
Great Lakes will have turned out
complete 526 vessels since September,
1917, when construction for the gov
ernment was started. OF this number
447 will be cargo carriers, and the
remainder tugs, including 3S of the
sea-going type, $50 feet long.
The lake yards were going at top
speed when the armistice was signed
in November. 1t was during this
month that record was established
by completion of 2S ships. Between
the signing of the armistice and the
opening of navigation approximately
100000 deadweight tons of shipping
was produced in the lake district.
The first OF fleet of 40 oil-burning
freighters being built in the Detroit
district will soon be on the way to
the Atlantic coast. They will be oi
the same tonnage as the coal burning
carriers built for the United States
shipping board.

ONE OF THE WARS
GREATEST VICTORIES
(By Associated Press.)

Atlantic City, June 16-One Of the
greatest victories of the war was the
triumph of modern medicine in the
control of acute infectious diseases
but even greater benefit will result
from the fact that the war also oD-

well as the people, to the great inroad
that chronic diseases are making in
our national economy, DR.. David r.
Lyman said at the annual meeting of
the National Tuberculosis Association
which convened here today. DR.. Ly-

manhood, startlingly revealed by
the draft board records, DR.. Lyman
predicted the immediate creation of
Division of tuberculosis in the Uni

This, he said, undoubtedly would be
followed by the establishment at
Washington of a Department Of
Health having equal rank with the
other great activities of the govern
ment, instead of the nations health
being considered of minor import
ance and cared for, as it is at pres
ent. as a side issue of the Treasury
Department.

DR.. Charles J. fairfield, Managing
Director of the National Association,
pointed out, that although tubercu-
losis causes 10000 deaths annually
in this country the burden of the
fight against the disease was being
borne by voluntary associations.
Even their work, he said, is greatly
handicapped by inadequate laws.

EisHar Plant Girls Have Pleasing
Social Event
81 Special Correspondent

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. 19.-After
weeks of careful planning the first
"get-together" social under the aus
pieces of the employees of the Sigmund
Eisner Company held last night.
The affair was an even greater sue
cess thar the most optimistic a
hoped for. About two hundred en-
ployes and their friends, including the
fifty or sixty from the Long Branch
factory, were on hand.
The feature of the evenings enter
tainment was the minstrel show given
by the employees of the Long Branch
factory. This was originally as a
welcome home" to Mr.. and Mrs.
Victor Eisner from their honeymoon
and was placed on last nights bill at
the suggestion of Mr.. Eisner. The
title of the sketch was "A Merry
Christmas Minstrek Following the en-
tertainment dancing was enjoyed to
music furnished by Miss Helen Miller
assisted by a professional drummer.
Previous to the arrival of the out of
town guests a duet was rendered by
Miss Pauline Miller and Miss Mamie
O'Brien.
The p of the social last night
was to bring all the factories in closer
touch with one another. Last nights
splendid affair was but the first of a
number that are planned for the COM
ing months. Mr.. Victor Eisner, who
is in charge of the local branch as
we'll as those, in Long Branch is the
junior member of te firm and has in
terested himself a great deal in the So
cial side of the girls of the factory.
The Eisner Factory in this city Is un-
der the direct charge of Mrs. Clara
Rugg. She has been especially active
in welfare work. Through her infu-
ence the girls of the factory this year
have taken out Christms Clubs that
will amount to about ten thousand
dollars. The South Amboy First Ma
tional Bank recently paid out about
fifteen thousand dollars in Christmas
clubs over one thousand of which was
paid to the girls of this factory.
To the girls employed there is a
great deal of credit due. During the
war when hundreds of soldiers We're
stationed in South Amboy the girls
were ever ready and willing to mend
their clothes and press and clean
them. They contributed literally to
all the Red Cross Drives and ninety
per cent. of the employees buy w. S.
s. weekly. nee a month a drive Is
made for funds for the South Amboy
Hospital Association. Mrs. Rugg was
presented with Il handsome bouquet
of flowers.
