RED CROSS AID
AGAIN SUCCESS
Helped Man Out of Work,
Wife Sick and Children
Struggling for Existence

A young man, well dressed and ap-
parently happy, walked into the Red
Cross office in the Raritan building
a few days ago. II was some mo-
ments before the staff recognized him
as n of their clients, who a few
months before ad Leen entirely des-
titute. discouraged and in poor ply
steal condition. The case Of this
man illustrates the Home Service
and Relief departments which take
in a large part of the local chapter.
Some months ago. this man was
unable to look for work because of
the p~recarious condition of his wife
who was mentally deranged. The
family consisted Of a girl of four, a
boy Of three. a baby eighteen months
old and a newly born infant. The
fathe~ lad been struggling to care
for the five upon a meager salary,
until he was forced to give up his
job in order to give his wife and the
children his personal care. When
the Red Cross was informed of the
case. the family was found living in
three spualid rooms. no food or
money in the house and the wife in
bad condition. The chapter imme-
diately saw that the woman was
made comfortable in the hospital,
and provided food for the family.
The wife. however, after a few days
insisted upon returning home and
just as the man was convinced that
she should be taken to an asylum
for the insane. she died, leaving all
four children on his hands. The
Red Cross placed the two babies in
an institution where after a short
time the youngest baby died. The
Red Cross paid the funeral expenses
and a short time later, the other baby
who was physically defective also
died, and here. too, the organization
came to the aid of the father who
had not yet found work and financed
the funeral.
Prior 20 this, the child who had
no palate had been taken to a spe-
cialist in New York by the Red Cross
but nothing could be done for it.
Presently the man himself, who had
moved to Sewaren with the other
two children was taken seriously i'll
and through the local chapter. the
youngsters were placed in a good in
stitution in New Brunswick where
they ire still being cared for. After
his recovery, the man with the as
s~istance of the Red Cross. found
work in Jersey City and called at the
local office after several months TO
tell of his appreciation for what had
been done for him.
The Red Cross Roll Call for 1922
will take place nationally during the
week of November and now, more
than ever, because of the economic
situation it is felt that attention
should be paid the activity to the de-
gree of helping literally where it is
possible. The home service depart
ment and the relief work are two of
the biggest branches of the service
in Perth Amboy and cases by the
hundreds have been helped through
the Red Cross which might have
proved disastrous without assistance.

this statement true. Aeromarine
ships have flown thousands Of miles

accident and the Aeromarine Air
ways at the present time are opera
ting the largest type of airplane or
boats operated in this service are
more l~uxuriously equipped, more

inferior to the best lines in Europe.
The Aeromarine Always will con-
tinue this winter a service between
Key West and Havana with five
ten-passenger flying boats of which
the Santa Maria" now in New Or
leans on its way to Vera Curz is an
example. This n particular route
reduces the time of travel between
Key West and Havana from seven
hours by boat to seventy-five minutes
by plane. This is a saving of time
ana convenience WHICH last winter
was greatly appreciated by the
travelling public as indicated by the
number of passengers carried with

that the heavy road is an unneces-
sary expense and that a lighter con-
crete should be laid.
Another hitch in the program as
it sands nov is the double contract
under which the warrenite was to
have been laid. The original plan was
for the ~freeholders TO pay for the
enter of the road. laid under n
contract. while the borough stood
for the expense of the sides of the
roadway, including the curbing; this
to be done under a sec~nd contract.
Now that the concrete type has been
decided upon it is felt by the bor-
ough hat two contracts Tor the Job
will tie up matters in an unnecessary
way and that the entire work should
be done under n contract.
This one contract program was
also agreeable TO the Borough of
Freeholdcrs. but doubt as to the
legality of the proposition vas ex-
pressed at the last meeting. 1t is
expected that County Solicitor Fred

gality question at the Tsceting this

baritones. A short humming, whistl-
ing and singing encore was unique
and well rendered. Two typical mil

an evidence of the return to nor
