LEGION
NOT PLEDGED
County Convention Being
Held Today at So. Amboy--
Many in Race
TAKE 1 CO LEGION

TAKE 1 co LEGION :. $3.50. =.
The local delegates to the coun-
ty convention which takes place in
South Amboy today will go unin-
structed as far as endorsing a an
didate for county commander is
concerned. The announcement Of
the commander at last nights reg
uIar meeting in the Y. NJ. C. A. that
Harold Hoffman of the South Am
boy Post, who was the choice of
the local organization for the posi-
ton, has refused to run for Office,
changed matters for the Perth AM
hoy group, at least. Not knowing
personally or by reputation any of
the candidates in the field, it was
deemed expedient that the local rep
resentation attend the convention
this afternoon uninstructed in vot-
ing for the new county chairman.
The county delegates who will re-
tain that office for one year were
elected last night and r Comman-
der William Thompson, Joseph Dee
gan, Nathan Goldberger, Ray Nun
dy and Alex Balint.
Instructions were given the new
delegates, however, in the matter Of
the national bonus. 1t was the con-
sensus of opinion that the bonus
matter be brought to the attention
of the two state senators at the pres
ent time in particular when the
matter is being spoken of again iii
political circles. The local repre-
sentatives will have a resolution
drawn up today which will be pre-
sented at the county convention for
adoption and which urges Senators
Frelinghuysen and Edge to do all in
their power to endorse the bonus at
the next session.
Basketball activities will begin in
the Perth Amboy Post during the
holidays, presumably, for which
time Joseph Mclaughlin will make
arrangements with the Beauvais
Post of Tottenville. The local or
g~anization has upon it's rolls some
basketball players who are among
the best in these parts and it is ex-
pected that an interesting game will
be staged.
The delegates to the convention
are asked to be in South Amboy at
3 o'clock today. At this time many
of the state leaders of the Legion
will be on hand as well as men
prominent in other circles.

Why do foods spoil
when exposed to air?

Cut or peel an apple. Note how quickly it starts
to turn brown. q
Leave a jar of preserves uncovered for a few days.
A coat of scum will form on it.
Leave any food uncovered and it will soon go bad.
WhyP Because it is in contact with the air and
and causes it to spoil.
A scientist dicovered that the air in ice cream
is a serious menace to health. So he set about find
ing a way to Danish this danger. He found how
to keep air out of this fine food.
He substituted for the air in ice cream a clean,
times purer than air.
This scientist is Prof. W. P. Heath, and his method
of making ice cream without air is called
HE~ATHIZATION. 1t is an advance ON Pasteuri-
cation.
When we learned of this new day way to protect
the purity of ice cream we Investigated it. We
visited the plant where HEATHIZED ice cream
is made. We found an ice cream infinitely purer
to every test. We found a nicer ice cream, cream
Ter, richer, more tasty. So we adopted HEATH
EATON.
CASTLES ice cream is now ~HEATHIZED. We
offer it to you as another evidence of our pro-
gressive methods of making your favorite dessert.
We could tell you volumes about this better way
of making ice cream. Try a dish at the nearest
Castles dealer. Or, better still, have a brick or
a carton of ice cream for your dessert at dinner
tonight. You'll enjoy the superior flavor and
quality Of this better ice cream.
