PUBLIC OPINION
LEGION

EDITOR EVBNING NEWS:
As a member of the American
Legion / have followed the contro-
versy which has been in progress
for the past few days with consider
able interest and feel that there is
misunderstanding on both sides of
the question. l do not think that
the American Legion resents criti-
cism of gambling devices conducted
1t the carnival under its auspices,
nor does the Legion deny Mr.. West
colt his right to express his opinion
on the matter of gambling. The
chief grievance of the Legion is the
continued lack of support on the
part of the townspeople of the work
of the Legion to raise funds for the
relief of needy members. Drive at
ter drive has been conducted in the
city for various causes, all of them
worthy of support, until the people
have become heartily weary of them
and are crying for relief. Then
when the American Legion devises
a plan to raise money without direct
soliciting, the mere mention of the
word Carnival causes a mighty
howl of protest on the ground that
gambling devices are being. or will
be. conducted, regardless of the fact
that chances are being sold in Perth
Amboy today for two different auto.
mobile drawings, both of them con.
Quoted by reputable organizations.
The same thing was done by another
organization in the city only two
weeks ago.
Now, / believe that the chief OBJ
lection of the American Legion to
The attack Of Mr.. Westcott lies in
the fact that these city organizations
ire allowed to conduct campaigns
which are just as much gambling
Is taking a chance on the spin of a
wheel for a box Of candy, while a
righteous Indignation Is aroused by
kfH efforts of the Legion to raise
Money for a aus as worthy as
these in progress, and by the same
methods. I feel that no member of
the Legion denies Mr.. Westcott
right to preach against whatever
forms of evil he may choose, but l
DO feel that in SO doing he should
not condemn the n while ignoring
the other. That is the proverbial
straw which breaks the Legion's
back apd in my opinion is the real
cause &f the injured feelings OF the
Lekiohaires.
IL seems to me that a little less
through the columns of
the daily paper and a little more
gnfhe thinking on the part Of the
Importers of both sides Of the argu-
)ment would bring about an AMIGA
BILE settlement of the controversy to
the satisfaction of all concerned.

Legionaire.

Will Arkansas educate her children In the schools, or on the streets?

Texarkana schools are facing a ser ious situation. It is said that they may have to close Friday for the year The campaign to raise funds to con- tinue the schools does not seem to be succeeding. The same serious plight confronts majority of the schools in the state to more or less extent. It's sad commentary on our state when the citizens of any school con- munity are not allowed to vote upon themselves special tax sufficient to maintain its schools. Taking the pub lie school into consideration with ref erence to the future progress of our state the governor has set apart next week beginning Sunday as public school week. It is proper that we discuss these questions as never be- fore, and that We get in line with the Forward Educational Movement now sweeping the state.

The long expected tank OF tar for
use on Fifth street arrived last SAT-
urday and Sunday morning Engineer

intended to finish this fall. The tank
served to bring the completed road To

tons ended for the year and at which
point they will be taken up again next
year.
The rock for this work had been
crushed from boulders in the gravel
! pit on the plains and was hauled hera
In the county trucks. The ton. or
sand coat Is made up of fine washed
gravel from the Champion gravel Dit.
The process consists OF laying first
course OF crushed rock OF about ~
inches. This rock Is firmly set by tha
roller and then quantity OF hot tar.
sufiicient to penetrate fully the voids
and securely bind the rock is injected
by force pump over the surface of
the rock. Then a course OF screen
ings sufficient to close up the voids
or openings between rocks Is spread
upon the tarred rock and the roller
worked until the mass is thoroughly
cooled and firmly set. A lighter coat
OF tar is added and another dust c@at
OF fine gravel is spread and firmly
rolled into the voids. This road when

and the process Is known as
the penetration method. the tar being
