LEGION ARRANGES FOR Big
CIRCUS TO COME HERE

The circus is coming to town."
With the endorsement of Mayor
Wilson, the local post of the Amer
lean Legion arranged for a big cir
Gus which will show here from May
16 to 21, and will be without doubt
the finest event of its kind ever held
in Perth Amboy. The post finds
self in dire need of funds and the
community has not seen a real. first
class old fashioned circus for many
years, thus two ends will be served
If the people here turn out and pat
rcnize the event to the extent that
the post expects.
At a meeting of the post to be
held tonight in the Y. NJ. c. A au-
ditorium, final arrangements for the
affair will be made. 1t is expected
that a large sum of money will be
realized by the local organization,
which will enable 1t to continue the
program of work which it has had
drawn up for some time, but which
could not be carried out because
of the lack of funds. The post
would particularly like to do moro
relief work for ex-service men, but
is handicapped by the condition of
the treasury.
Members of the Legion feel sure
that the community will support
them in this undertaking. The post
has not made many demands upon
the public and In this undertaking
will give the people a high class cir
Gus in return for their assistance.
All members are urged by Com
n,ander Pierce to be present to-
