one OF the most important things in

phase Of the tity than any other. Perth

tinually ile Inspectors of the department

and unless the milk is pure the concerns
who sell and di-tribute II are not allowed
to do business, Perth Amboy fortunately
IS assured pure milk supply through the
efforts of Reder Brothers at 3lJ High st.
The first thing necessary in order to
produce good, rich. pure milk is To
have contented cows. Cows which craze

in New York state It Is in and around

in New York state that the herds from

Report or Teams.


ID. +. Olmstead was chairman dl
the luncheon this noon and greatly
commended the workers on their ac-
complishments thus far. When called
upon by the chairman, Isaac Alpern,
president of the Perth Amboy Trust
Company. gave some very interest
ing facts about the property con-
ditions in this city and showed clear
ly why the property owners should,
for their own benefit as well as fol
the welfare OF the community. get
behind the Chamber of Commerce.
The real estate values, according to
Mr.. Alpern. are based upon popula-
ton and the population of Perth
Amboy has grown very little within
the past few years according to
statistics. For the increase of po-
pulation, there must be some local
attra action, according to the speaker,
and the Cha mber of Commerce, only,
is the body which can make the city
attractive to outsiders The housing
problem, especially is one. said Mr..
Alpern that keeps so many away
from this city, where there are many
opportunities for a large number
more of workers. This condition can
be solved. but only through the ef-
forts of strong chamber which
will work for the growth of the
city. increasingly, Mr.. Alpern in
sisted.
The one other speaker today was
Rev. Frederick Niedermeycr. whose
subject for the main part was the
Perth Amboy of the future built by
the workers of today. Rev. Mr..
Niedermeyer appealed to the fathers
and friends of the youth of Perth

a wonder; the doctor recommended

Helen says if the nurse got married,
she'd have to send the kid to the Or

how to feed it or battle it or anything.
By the way, | got card from Helen

home always asked the -four questions
of the father about the Seder. He
said there's a good reason for not
teaching the child the questions any

them, even if the child asked them. I
hate such sarcasm, don't you?
