ON KIWANIS CARD

Lynn Shaw, of the Indiana Automo-
tive Trade association. and Eddie
ODonnell, also connected with the au-
tomotive association, will be on the
Kiwanis club program Thursday.
O'Donnell is expected to tell of his
interesting war experiences. He was

ing the war he served in the Canadian
air forces, A. E. F., and in the Polish
army. After the war he spent some
time In soviet Russia. He had diff
Guilty in getting back to America from
Poland because of his connection with
the Polish army. He finally succeeded
in reaching America, and was about
to embark for China when he was
taken in custody by United States i'm
migration officials as refugee from
Poland. He is under their jurisdiction
for five years. He is ordinarily reluct-
ant to talk of his war experiences but
he has promised to entertain the local
club with some thrilling accounts.
Thursdays program is in charge of
Glenn McConaha, Harry Chenoweth
and Harold Coleman.
Kiwanis club officials report that
the merchants are taking an unusual
interest in the Kiwanis style show
which will be given April 6 and Z.
The show is under the direction of
Bert Kolp
Members of the club are especially
urged to attend Thursdays meeting
in view OF the attendance record. The
local club has a mark of 9454 thus far

One member of the board stated
that they had plenty of material avail
able for the entertainment but would
not announce any definite plans or en-
gagements until the funds were col
lected. People who have subscriptions
out are asked to pay them, so the
program may be arranged as soon as
possible

GOT RID OF HIS AUDIENCE
Indiana Youth Cannot Be Denied the
Faculty Of Arriving At Z
Quick Decision.

In Sullivan county there are still
many rural phones, the sort that when
the bell rings on one It rings for all
the others, too. reports the Indian
apolis News But each patron Is sup
posed to he honorable and answer the
phone only when his or her own call
is given. Many, being rather lonely,
answer all calls and do the listening
stunt to perfection.
A recent graduate at one Of the
schools received 4 present from his
girl" and also one from several Of the
neighbors at the exercises. But when
the girls came he decided to thank
her right away. And he went to the
telephone and called her number.
He heard central ring her phone,
and then counted six clicks before she
answered him. He knew he had an
audience. So quite politely he said,
Now that you are all together l
want to thank you individually and
Jointly for the nice presents you sent
me for my graduation"
A silence, and then gently six 70
celvers clicked back on their hooks.
The boy, sure he had privacy with his
girl, Immediately told her what he
wished to say about her present.

MORE WATERFRONT FOR PARKS

The Board of Aldermen did q good nights work last
night when they bought the properties on the east side of
Water street adjoining Bayvew Park. It not only means an
extension of the city's park system, but it adds much vau-
able waterfront to what the city already owns.
Not the least important feature is the riparian rights
that go with a part of the newly purchased tract. These
riparian rights can no longer be bought from the state so
that when property which secured possession OF the rlpar-
ian rights when such purchases were possible is put on the
market no mistake is made in getting hold of it. The wis
dom of such action will be more and more apparent as time
goes on.
With this excellent progress on the development of a
Bluff drive, it should be the policy of the city to buy up from
time to time all the property offered for sale located on. the
east side of Water street anywhere between Smith street
and High street. This also applies, naturally, to the property
on Front street. No doubt a comprehensive city plan would
include such provision so that eventually Perth Amboys
park system will have as one of its most valuable as well as
delightful features a beautiful park boulevard overlooking
the bay.
But there still remains the gas works property, the pur-
chase of which has been hanging fire for some time. Ii the
band concert held at Bayview Park two weeks ago empha-
sized the need of the city owning the adjoining tracts in
order to extend that park, the band concert at C%aledonian
Park last Wednesday evening certainly brought out the de-
STABILITY of adding to the beauty and enjoyment of that de-
lightful spot by getting the gas works out of the way and
enlarging Caledonian Park.
The purchase of the gas works really means more to
the city than the purchase of the Meredith tract at the foot
of Market street because while it was desirable that the city
own the Meredith tract in order to extend its park system
and increase its holdings in waterfront property, the Mere
rlm tractWas not a nuisance to the neighborhood as the gas
works is. In the immediate vicinity of the gas works is To-
Gated the most valuable residential property that there is in
the CITY. No municipality that pretends to be progressive
wonld permit such a condition to exist. The increase in
valuations in all that section that the proper development OF
the shore along the river would mean would more than
make I'D the cost of buying the property, not to mention the
great asset that the possession of such property would be to
The city. With favorable action on the Meredith tract let
the aldermen proceed with their good work and add the gas
works to the city's possessions also.

n STATE BRIDGES

New Jersey is still buying up the numerous bridges that
span the Delaware river above Trenton. The latest purchase
Is the bridge at Yardley, Pa, for which over $4,000 is to be
Maid. OF course, the state of Pennsylvania shares the ex-
pense as the transactions are being carried on by an inter-
state commission, but the fact remains that thousands of
dollars Of the taxpayers money are being spent for a lot of
more or less worn out structures that are being unloaded
on the state by private interests.
The bridge at Trenton and the bridge at Lambertvine
have already been bought. The bridge at Yardey is between
these two, being only about 3 miles above Trenton. Others
further up the stream also have been bought. Considering
the amount of traffic across the Delaware, it is hard to I'M
derstand why SO many bridges are needed.
WHY should there be bridges three miles apart span
ming the Delaware in the rural districts above Trenton where
excepting for two or three important points, they are used
mainly by a few farmers, when the Raritan river, flowing
through the center of the state and which is crossed by two
of the heaviest travelled highways in the country, has but
three bridges between Bound Brook and its mouth at Perth
Amboy, two of these bridges being at New Brunswick which
IA fifteen miles up stream? If the state has so much money
TO spend on bridges that it can afford to maintain them every
three miles or so on the upper Delaware, surely it ought to
he able to maintain more than one bridge for the fifteen
miles Or SO between Perth Amboy and New Brunswick where
the traffic is SO congested.
