Failure to have the most direct
road to Princeton leading out of New
Brunswick open in time to carry the
heavy traffic for tomorrow's foot
ball game is a disgrace to the state
of New Jersey and the county of
Middlesex and a serious reflection on
the management of the highway sys-
tenn.
Why should 1t take two years to
build this road when highways all
over the state have been started and
completed in the meantime. not to
mention the several roads that have
been practically rebuilt during the
past summer?
1t was only a month OF two ago
that work was started on st. Georges
avenue in Railway. a part of route
No. 1, and already 1t Is open for
traffic. The road between Metuchen
( and New Brunswick has been restor-
ed. Work on the so-called Pennsyl-
vania right of way in South AM
boy, connecting the south approach
to the bridge over the Raritan river
with the pavement in South Amboy,
has been completed for some time,
yet this was started at about the
same time the Franklin Park road
out of New Brunswick was COM
menced.
why is 1t that this Franklin Park
road is still closed to traffic?
As far as the travelling public Is
concerned this New Brunswick
Franklin Park road is in the same
condition 1t was one ear ago when
the heavy traffic was on going to
Princeton for the Princeton-Harvard
game. The road was closed to traffic
then because of construction, inc the
work had then been going on for
some time. Now, after a whole year
has passed, autoists still find this
lame road closed to traffic on account
" construction.
Why?
If the road was closed this year on
account of repairs there would not
be SO much TO wonder at, although
there would be good cause for criti-
scism. But the fact that. after all
This time, the road is not yet even
completed amounts to little less han
a scandal.
The least that can be done is to
keep in mind the contractor who
has this work in charge and consider
we'll before any more highway con-
struction Is placed in his hands.

STILL A PROBLEM.

The correspondence between AS
semblyman-elect Edward ]. Peter
son and f. l.. Fillman, manager of
the E. I. DUPONT DeNemours & Com
pany plant at Parlin regarding the
houses at Parlin, is published on an
other page today. The clear and
frank statement on the part of the
plant management sets at rest any
idea of getting relief from the hous-
ing situation there.
Following the comment made by
the EVENING NEWS on the pos
sibility of securing any AGA houses
that there might be at Parlin for
others than those employed at the
DUPONT plant. Mr.. Pullman called
the EVENING NEWS on the tele-
phone and explained the situation.
Later he sen a copy of the letter he
had written to Mr.. Peterson regard
ing the matter.
Mr.. Pullman stated that the gov
eminent had nothing to do with the
erection of the houses at Parlin, 1t
being strictly a company affair. But
regardless of hat fact. the manager
said the DUPONT company would
gladly cooperate in any effort to
relieve the housing situation if it had
any houses to spare.
With the approach of cold weather
the need of proper housing becomes
more acute. Perth Amboy has
reached a point where the city is
practically at a standstill. Even. If
there was an inclination to build
houses there is no available place TO
build them within the city limits, ex-
lcepting for a few lots here and there
that are held at extremely high
prices.
1t is plain, therefore, that any
building to amount to anything In
1.-THE present crisis must be done out
side the city and that means mainly
in Woodbridge township. In many
cities the large industries find 1t a
good investment to build homes fol
their workmen charging a rent that
merely covers the expense of build
ing. To furnish these homes means
more contented workmen, more efic-
lent service and less of a turnover
in labor because employees thus salts
factorilv located are likely to stay.
Perth Amhoy has two big PROPOSE
tons before it in connection with this
housing problem. che first and mos

THE CHURCH
BY DIR. James /. VANCE

When one goes back home for a
little visit, whether he goes to
church elsewhere or not, n of the
things he wants to do there is to
go to the church of his childhood,
and sit in the old pew, and let
memory cas- it's spell.
AS he sits there. heaven comes
down to greet him. The noblest
and best things in life get the right
OF way. The faces of the saints ap-
pear. and the call of God is vocal
in his heart. He goes out with the
call of the eternal on him: and duty
must be palmer and courage easier
for that hour in the old church.
There is an awful void in the life
that has grown up without a
church. Parents have emptied the
lives of their children of vast re-
sources for faithful and heroic deeds
who have deprived them of the as
sociations which hang around a
Church.
The church stands for our highest
thoughts, our purest loves, our
cleanest motives, our holiest faiths,
and our most unselfish deeds. 1t is
the meeting place of friends whose
devotion to each other is sweetened
and sanctified by the sacrament of
1ou. II 10 iiiS . HoiS ol MONIES where
contact is had with the shrine inef-
fable. 1t is where God pulls back
the curtain and reverence looks in
on things divine.
1t is to the church we come to re-
ceive the waters of baptism, and it
is to the church we come to have
the tears of grief wiped away. 1t
is there the marriage song is sung
and the troth plighted that WEEDS till
death shall part. Then. when the
day is done and our work is over,
it is to the church they carry the
face, quit of its fever forever, to
speak across its dissolution the
message of immortal hope.
1 cannot understand people who
sneer at the church.

WHY THE

1t seems that down through Penn
slyvania where they have an efficient
state police. they are able to arrest
the ''bootleggers" and contiscate
their load of liquor and their auto
mobiles as well, permits or no per-
mits. Why cannot the same action
be taken here?
1t is no secret that many of the
''bootleggers" passing through Penn
sylvania on their way to Baltimore
and Washington obtain their stock
Of whiskey in Perth Amboy. The
public in general know it; the au-
thorities know it. In fact. the load
ing up is done in the most open and
brazen AS a matter of fact,
what is believed to be the same
whiskey that was seized by the
Pennsylvania police Wednesday
morning, was loaded into automobiles
in this city in broad daylight with a
large crowd looking on. at the very
time hat federal agents were here
removing a large stock of whiskey
from another liquor dealers head
quarters. There was no secret about
it. Case after case of the stuff was
carried out of the warehouse and
placed in automobiles. One of the
crowd of on-lookers asked where it
was being taken and he was inform
ed thai 1t was none of his business.
The point is, not a thing was done
to stop this movement, neither was
any attempt at secrecy maintained.
Yet. once the state of Pennsylvania
is reached these same men who work
so openly here move under cover of
darkness and when the Pennsylvania
state police call a halt the men IN
charge of the automobiles at once
assume the role of criminals for they
desert their machines and take to the
woods in their effort to escape.
Why should there be such a feel
ing of safety and security here in
Perth Amboy when there is so much
danger of being caught in Pennsyl-
vania?
Local authorities tell us hat they
cannot do anything to stop this traffic
In liquor because those engaged ir
the business carry federal permits
But surely these men do not throw
their permits away when they eros:
the border into Pennsylvania. APP
