LEGION AND CARNIVAL


The sermon preached by the Rev.
Mr.. Westcott about the carnival for
the benefit of the American Legion
is nothing more than the rawlings of
a religious fanatic, but nevertheless
his remarks are not only a gross in
suit to the American Legion but a
defamation of all ex-service e
In an article in the EVENING
NEWS Rev. Mr.. Westcott is quoted
as saying anyone who encourages
gambling is a traitor to the United
States,'' which is a direct slap at the
American Legion and car only
mean that those who fought, bled
and died for this country are trail
tors, for isn't the Legion an organ
lied representation of all those who
fought for us? Such an utterance
should be resented by all patriotic
people and Rev. Mr.. Westcott should
be made to apologize publicly.
On next Sunday evening Rev. Mr..
Westcott will conduct a memorial
service in his church and it was
originally planned by the different
e~x-service organizations to attend
that service, but already two of
these organizations have decided
that they will not do SO, and when
Mr.. Westcott looks down from his
pulpit and sees the few in uniform

he is paying a glowing tribute to
those who have made the supreme
sacrifice let him pause and recall

BUILDING TRADES STRIKE

Editor Evening News:
You say in an editorial in one of
your issues of last week concerning
the controversy existing between n
Master Builders and the Building
Trades Unions, that it is significant
that the men have thus far seen fit to
ignore the master builders PROPOSE
ton. (to a%rbitrate). / wish to state
that we have not ignored the propo.
sition, on the contrary. a communlca.
ton was mailed to the Master Build
ers, the same morning that n was
sent to the Chamber of Commerce.
So apparently, either the News
did not try to get the facts. or else
somebody is very careless with the
truth. The letter to the Master
Builders stated that the Building
Trades Council could not decide this
question, but had referred it back to
the various local unions.
You further say that the union
men are mistaken in assuming that
the deadlock concerns only them and
their bosses. the men have assumed
nothing of the kind: we have. more
over, gone to the trouble and ex-
pense of holding a public meeting in
order to let the people hear our SIDE
and at which meeting very good
reasons were given why we can not
accept the proposed reduction In
wages.
An earlier editorial refers to the
speakers at that meeting as outsid-
ers. Now. Mr.. Editor. the Building
Trades Council objects to these men
being called outsiders. They are our
duly elected representatives. and
were here at the request of the COUP
Gil, and we are as much entitled to
have our representatives as any firm
is entitled to have it's lawyer.
The proposition that the men be
reduced one dollar a day and the
bosses take another dollar off their
own proceeds seems fair. you say!
Your faith is touching! Did 1t neve
occur to yoU that the bosses are
there to see that the dollar Is taken
off the mems pay, but there is no
one to see that the dollar is taken
off the bosses profit. for the over
whelming majority of the work Is
done on contract.
Yours sincerely,
JOHN BECK, Sec'y.
Building Trades Council.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
THE PEsSIMIsTS

The ecent winter was the best
that even struck the middle West.
The skies were blue as skies of May,
the sun was shining every day, the
breezes had the scent of spring, and
summer birds came back to sing.
And men of wisdom said, Great
Scott This kind of winter hits the
spot, so let us cast all fears aside,
and take the gifts the gods provide.
1t may be we will have to pay for
every bright and sunny day, but
while the sunny days are here, We'll
sing and dance and never fear"
But there were grouches every
where, and they denounced the
balmy air. I'VE need cold weather
now" they said, with storm clouds
looming overhead; we need all
kinds of snow and sleet, we need a
blizzard and repeat. This kind of
winter is a flaw, a slip in natures
ancient law; and when she makes
SO bad a break, she'll even things,
and no mistake. There'll be a bliz-
zard in the spring. and it will riddle
everything: the fruit will wilt in
winters breath, the bugs that should
have died the death will eat the
corn and hay and oats. and bear off
our collective goats" And thus the
robe of gloom is worn by fellows
who were made to mourn; they al
ways miss the bliss and fun of bask-
ing in the genial sun.

@. Why is Phoenix. Ariz., SO

named?-G. A. B.
A.. According to an old legend
the phoenix was a bird which was
consumed by fire and rose in youth
full freshness from it's own ashes.
The name seemed appropriate for
Phoenix, Arizona, as this city was
built on the remains of a great pre-
Columbian city. In prehistoric
times, some $4,000 acres of land were
cultivated by the diversion of water
through several hundred miles OF
canals. y
Q. What is a punaluap family?
F. c.
A. This is a term adopted into
ethnology and refers to a scheme of
family life found existing in the Ha-
waiian Islands when they were dis
covered. The relationship consists
in the marriage of a group of BROTH
ers to a group of sisters, each Wom-
an being the wife of all the men and
each man being the husband of all
the mn
G. Can / remagnetize a compass
needle that has weak polarity, by use
of a horseshoe magnet?-I. B. G.
A. The photographic Office of
the Navy Department says that in
remagnetizing a compass needle you
should place the compass so that the
needle will point directly in a north
ern and southern direction. Take a
horseshoe magnet and, using the end
having a North polarity, place it
above that half of the needle be-
tween the center and its South point.
Slowly move the horseshoe with a
horizontal motion above the men
toned one-half of the needle several
fin,ac faIipo- noro that If dnas mt
move back and forth. but in one di-
'rection from the centre of the needle
to the point for the South. Then
reverse the process taking the South
polarity end of the magnet and go
through the same process from the
center point of the needle to the
North end of 1t. This should re-
magnetic the needle so that it will
be good for some time. although it is
not positive that this method will
keep it permanently magnetized.
@. What do the letters S. o. S.
mean when used as a wireless sig
na1?-W. L. v.
A. A great many people take 1t
that the lette< S. o. S. stand for
Save our Souls or Save u Ship"
but according to naval, authorities
this ~abbreviation is used simply be-
cause OF the fact that this particu-
lar combination of letters can be
given more clearly and readily by
radio instruments than any other.
@. Has the production of explos-
ives fallen off this year?-P. M.
A. The Bureau of Mines say that
the production of explosives increas-
ed during 1920. The total (exclud-
ing exports) raj nearly $4,000, 600
pounds. an increase of 20 per cent
over the production of 1919. All
classes of consumers used more ex-
plosives in 1920-than in 1919, nut the
greatest increase demand was from

SOCIETY

"
During the past few years there
has been a great deal written in
your paper about the lack of Civic
Pride shown Ivy your citizens toward
making Perth Amboy a better and
finer place to live in.
1t seems that Perth Amboy is
lacking one organization which. in
many communities of this sort, serve
as an important link between the
past and the present and also strive
to increase civic activities among it's
citizens. To my mind. the establish
ment of a. historical society in Perth
Amboy, headed by some of our
prominent citizens who have delved
into the past history of this city, de-
livered addresses upon it, ETC.,
should Immediately band themselves
together and form such a society.
Perth Amboy has a great many
relics, manuscripts, pamphlets and
historical objects scattered among
her homes which should be collected
in one place to serve as a public
exhibit and so increase the knowi-
edge of both our citizens and the
coming generation of what Perth
Amboy was in the past.
I know of great many persons
who have historical objects of inter-
est which cannot be properly taken
care Of in their own homes. who
would gladly give them to IL histori-
cal society to be preserved for the
future.
I believe the trustees of the Pub
tic Library would gladly grant per-
mission both for meetings, and suf-
ficient place for exhibition purposes,
for 50 noteworthy an object.
An organization known as the
Perth Amboy Historical Society
could go into many fields Of EN-
1deavor which would prove of in
terest to every citizen, school child.
automobile tourist and visitors to
community. Outside of the pur-
poses above mentioned, tablets
could be erected at the historical
spots in the city. school children
would be induced to write essays
upon the history of Perth Amboy,
books and pamphlets written by
members. could be published and
volumes of history interest to this
city preserved for future use.
