START
HERE IN DRIVE
OVER WEEKEND
Police and Firemen Let No
Autos Without Pastors
Get Out of City

The Salvation Army's Home Service
Fund campaign got off to a flying
start here over the weekend when
the police and firemen of the city
Joined forces and, conducting an in
tensive drive against all autoists, col
lected more than $2.500. Saturday
nights reports showed that the days
work had netted over $1,000 and yes
terday almost as much again was Sc
cured, the large number of out-of-
town cars which passed through here
being responsible for many of the
dollar donations.
All day Saturday and from early
yesterday morning until last night
the cops and firemen continued un-
ceasingly to stop all cars which fail
ed to have the Salvation Army card
in full view. All entrances to the city
were cared for by the various fire
companies, together with their trucks
while the traffic officers, assisted by
patrolmen, took care of the cross
streets. The $4,000 mark was decid-
ed upon by the policemen and the
firemen as their goal and it was not
until this mark was reached that they
stopped.
With such a fine start there should
be little trouble experienced here by
the members of the teams and COM
mittees in securing the other $4,000
necessary in order that Perth Amboy
might reach her quota of $4,000.
The members of the local lodge of
Elks have taken over the campaign
here and this morning the house to
house campaign was begun. This Will
continue until Thursday when the
district lines will be done away with
and the city will be open to canvass
ers.e

Because of the bad weather last
week the campaign throughout the
state has been continued for another
week in order that the goal of
$75O,000 might be reached. Up until
now approximately one-half of this
amount has been accounted for.
The Middlesex county forces are
well organized and all the necessary
equipment had been given out to the
various cities. towns and boroughs
last week so that they might COM
mence active work this morning.
Perth Amboy has the same quota
TO raise as has New Brunswick and
there is considerable friendly rivalry
between the two cities in order to
determine who will be the first to
secure its quota.
