SURE TO WIN SUPPORT

fesSional campaign manager Will

here which will be launched within a

committee in charge of the drive.
made up of the executive committee
and several additional members, with
the endorsement and backing of the
entir. post, held meeting Friday
night at which the situation was dis
cussed and where enthusiasm which
foretells successful eoffrt was at its
height
It was upon mature consideration
that the post decided to make the
move at this time and a careful sur
vey of the conditions resulted in the
unanimous decision that the time is
now ripe for the drive. The endorse
ment of hosts of the Legion's friends
and pledges of support from promi-
nent men and women further assure
success in the venture.
The effort in South Amboy, which
far exceeded the expectations of the
post there, shows how heartily the
people are behind the ex-service
men and it is known that Perth
Amboy with it's population of four
times that of the sister community,
and a group of almost 1000 ex-
service men will come forth equally
as literally.
The local post has been meeting in
the Y. NJ. c.. A. for two years and
has grown so rapidly of late that the
quarters were entirely too small and
besides not offering the facilities
which an organization of this kind
demands. A large number of ex-
service men have expressed a desire
# joining the post providing it works
for home of its own and are willing
to help in the effort to put the cam
paign across even though they are
not yet members.
Final arrangements for the drive
will be made this week and will be
announced after the regular meeting
of the post to be held on Friday.

BY his force of will. New Jersey
took a position out of sympathy
with all it's associate provinces.
Fearful of the effect of this on his
sons and his own good name, Ben

from abroad.

To the advice of his father, the
governor remained unmoved-he
had his own views and would yield
them to no one. On his return to
America in 1775, Benjamin Frank

Crushed by the attitude Of his
son, which he held a stain on the
family honor, the aged Franklin left
in a heat of anger and from that
moment announced that forever af-

of him-let him protect himself
come what may. 1t was then in
bitterness, he wrote:
MY son is my son,
Until he gets a wife,
But my daughter is my daughter
All the days OF her life"
Then came the Battle of Lexing-

pressive North act, followed by the
influx into the provinces of large
bodies of British soldiery, bent on
enforcing compliance with it. The
colonies were now in state of
flame. A match had been touched
to the powder magazine.
Now the colonies would wage war
and meet steel with Millions

8 AUTOS BURNED
IN GARAGE FIRE
Blaze Destroys Private Ga
rage in Rear of Westmins-
ter---Cause is Not Known

Fire starting from an unknown
cause, caused a spectacular blaze
Saturday night when it completely
destroyed a large private garage in
the rear of the Westminster Hotel,
in keagny avenue, and burned three
automobiles which could not be
saved until the flames had partly
consumed them. Two other auto
mobiles which were in the garage
when the blaze was discovered, were
backed out to safety but the remain
ing three cars were badly damaged
The blaze was discovered at 11:40
o'clock and an alarm sent in from
Box "A, Kearny avenue and Cor
don street. Huge clouds of smoke
were pouring from the windows OF
the garage when the taps sounded
and the flames were fast eating their
way from one part of the garage tc
the other. -s
Oaicers Alfred Christopherson and
William Buchan were on the scent
within few minutes after the firt
broke out and began to work desper'
ately to save the cars which were
still in the garage. They both re-
ceived burns on their hands and
necks from the flames. The Of
ticers were joined by firemen and a
rope was made fast to the rear axe
of one of the cars and it was pulled
from the garage a mass of flames.
While a chemical stream was be-
ing played on this car the men made
the rope fast to second car and
hauled that out. The same was done
with the third, the fire in the mean
time having spread so that the en-
tire building was in flames. One OF
the burning cars backed into an
automobile which had been saved
and for a time threatened to set fire
to the other one. Another chemical
stream put out the fire in this auto
mobile.
AS soon as the firemen had a
stream of water on the garage the
glare disappeared and quick time
was made in preventing the spread of
the flames to nearby buildings. The
presence of oils and gasoline in the
garage made it an extremely hard
fire to fight, there being a series of
small explosions and flying fire as the
water and gasoline came in contact.
The garage was owned by Mrs. j..
S. Hansen. the owner of the West
minister Hotel, and was not insured.
Mrs. Hansen was high in the praise
of the work done by the police and
firemen in trying to save the auto
mobiles and garage from complete
