MEMORIAL DAY
PLANS READY
Veterans Join Together to
Make Event One of the Big
gest Ever Held Here

The Decoration Day celebration
this year will surpass any previous
observance of this nature that has
ever been held here, if the plans per-
fected at the joint meeting of the
veteran organizations of the town
held at City Hall last night mature.
The pledges of each group to do it's
share and the enthusiasm of the
members of the G.. A. r., the Ameri-
can Legion, the Army and Navy
Union and the Veterans OF Foreign
Wars leaves no doubt that the af-
fair will be carried out as is now
planned. The fine showing made
last year. when there was practically
no organization and very little CO.
operation is indication that the boys
have not forgotten their duty to the
dead, and the fuller realization of
the significance Of Memorial Day.
that has come with another year of
understanding, during which the re-
adjustment has left the boys time to
think over the past and consider
the sacrifice of the less fortunate
comrades in its true light.
1t has been decided that the pa
rade which. will be the big event of
the day, will begin early, at .
o'clock probably and that the SER
vices at the Alpine cemetery will
ccme 10 an end in time to allow all
the participants of parade to be in
their homes by noon.
One of the features of this years
service VIII be the tribute which
the veterans will pay to the dead
sailors as we'll as the soldiers and
before the parade starts from City
Hall a representation including a
aaJA, ,t,a-J ,Jaan1,;, nnI cavorot
school children will march down to
the bay where flowers will be strewn
upon the water in memory of those
who died at sea .
The same group will hold services
in st. Peters cemetery and st
| Mary's before the parade starts.
AS the plans now stand, the pro-
| cession will be lead by the Columbus
Band, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and
school children, which will be fol
lowed by the color guard from the
| American Legion. The firing squad
following will precede the G. A. r
A number of service women. as
guests of the Legion, will march be-
fore the members of Perth Amboy
Post As, American Legion, who will
be followed by the Veterans of For
| eign Wars, Army and Navy Union
and members of the Red Cross. The
Westminster cannon, next in line
| will come before the Camp Raritar
contingent.
The Raritan representatives this
| year will be mounted in trucks, each
| of which will be followed by a trail
err representing the ordnance de-
| partment. This group, upon their
| return from the cemetery, will be
entertained with refreshments served
by the Women's Auxiliary of the
American Legion.
Elmer Larson. vice commander OF
the Legion, is general chairman OF
the Memorial Day committee.

Perth Amboy News.)

WASHINGTON. May 17--In adj
ministering President H~arding's ex-
ecutive order of May 10th, relative
to appointments of first. second and
third class p~ostmasters, the Postof-
Ace Department will consider as va
cant every po~stmastership where
the official is not now serving out a
f~our-year commission.
General Will Hays stated today.
This means that the Civil Service
Commission will be directed to con-
duct denominations of candidates
at each of the $500 or more Offices
where examinations have been al
ready made to obtain eligibles since
the four-year term of the last post
master expired. This will include
about 5000 offices where the COM
mission certified to the department

! Yduestions by the correspondent who
attempted to clear up a number OF
uncertainties regarding the carry
ing out of President Harding's ex-
ecutive order superceding the order
of President Wilson OF March IL,
1917.
The following facts can be stated
as a result of a series Of questions
put by the correspondent and ans

items at every first, second and third

ment.
All the work done by the Civil
Service Commission for the past
eight or min months in examining
postmaster candidates is to be dis
carded.
The postofice department will con-
slider itself bound to choose the post
master from among the three names
sent to the department as having
made the highest rating In the ex-
animation regardless of whether all
three are Democrats or undesirable
Republicans. The department will
not feel at liberty, for instance. to
ask for more names if appointment
of any of the three certified is dis
tasteful.
The department is sending to the
Civil Service Commission as rapidly
as possible lists of officers where
vacancies exist and expects the COM
mission will begin the examinations
within thirty days. All possible
speed is to be used in examining the
candidates and making the appoint
ments and no delays are anticipated
