FOR BAND CONCERTS

The Evening New has received three separate consri-
buttons of one dollar each toward a band concert fund. 1t
is evident that some people are in earnest about this mat
Ter and are willing to back their desire with real money
even though there is no assurance as yet that a concert can
be held. a-F 3s~c...@
One of these contributions comes from "a FRIEND
without any name signed. OF course, should it be deemed
advisable, it is not possible to refund such a contribution
as any number of persons might claim to be the particular
friend who sent the money and the Evening News wouli
be unable to decide who should get it.
1t is to be hoped, however, that such a thing as return
ing the money will not have to be considered. 1t would
seem as if there should be a sufficient number # people IA
this city who desire band concerts to contribute the money
necessary for at least one concert. There is to be no solicit
ing, no campaigning for funds as far as the Evening News is
concerned, but this newspaper will be very glad to act as
custodian for the fund and turn the money over to the pack
commission for the purpose for which it is intended. If the
total amount received is not sufficient to pay for even one
concert the park board will be given a free hand to use the
money as it sees fit, provided there is no law %forbiddins|
this municipal body from receiving outside contributions.
In connection with this movement, the Evening News
offers this proposition: In the event that there is sufficient
enough money to pay for one concert, the Evening News
alone will contribute the money to pay for a second concert
to be held in the opposite section of the city from where
The first concert is held. Thus the city will be assured
of two concerts by the public subscribing fer the cost of
of the city favored.
The success of this movement depends on how qulck!yI
The money comes in. There is not a great deal of time lett
to complete the arrangements if any arrangements are to bel
made. s%a& W. n ri

PUT STATE STREET IN SHAPE

With State street being put in first class condilon
from the Meredith line to the Woodbridge creek bridge at
he EXPENSE of the county, cannot the city see its way clea'
10 mt the rest of the street in shape extending from the
Meredith line southwark to include the block IN front OF the
high school between Smith and Market streets?
State street and Smith street are the two great nam
arteries of traffic extending all the way across the city, on
running north and south and the other east and vest. Boil
are important business thoroughfares and ought always 10
be well paved. They both carry a tremendous amount oil
traffic and al both have trolley tracks the problem oil their
upkeep is y particularly difficult.
1t is to be doubted if either Smith street or State street
can be satisfactorily patched up. Both have been used to-
nueh for experimenting in paving materials. Eventually
II these two important streets are to be kept in anywhere
near decent shape, both will have to be paved with 4 granit>
block with. a bituminous filler such as West street which
rms along in front of the ferries in New York, is paved.
In the meantime, judging from the way State street
navement is deteriorating it will soon be impossible. The
county. which controls the outer and least populated end
is doing its part in putting the street in first class condition
The city cannot afford to neglect its part of this important
work. -s ~ ."

OLD-TIME JOYS

Along about this time of year, back yonder in the past,
the drowsy congregation pricked up its ears as the preacher
announced. ,
"There will be an ice cream social on Banker Stoneheart's
lawn, Thursday evening, under the auspices of the Young
Ladies' Aid Society. All are cordially invited to attend.
Bring the little folks. A silver Offering will be taken.'
"Ameni" was still ringing in the church air when the
young bucks made their rush for the door, to line up outside
and spring the conventional, ''May 1 see you homef' on the
white-frocked damsels, preparatory to arranging dates" for
the social.
People on the sunset side of 30 can look back to the old
time church entertainments with considerable satisfaction,
knowing that, having participated in same, they have not
lived in vain. f%l
The church "social''-or osociable,' as you prefer-was
''big doings.'' If you and your girl arrived early in your side
bar buggy, before dusk had departed and the Chinese lantern
candles were lighted, there was time for a few rounds Ut old
fashioned golf-croquet. (
The ice cream was always made in the church basement.
under the direction of some woman who specialized in this
line. All you could eat for a dime-including luscious cake,
baked by housewives who considered 1T sacrleg1ous to mix
up a cake without using at least Is eggs.
The ice cream social-now nearing extincton-was the
pinnacle of entertainment for young unmarried people,
though handwriting fathers inclined to the chicken dinners
where a whole washtub Of choice eatables could be slowed
away for 25 cents. Of course, a quarter was a lot OF money IN
those days, but every one agreed that the church chicken
supper was worth 1T.
Those old-time gatherings, in the last analysis, were for
the purpose of mating the young folks in a wholesome atmos.
phere.
They were characteristic of clean, virle, sensible ante-jazz
days.
After all, though, people do not change much. The same
women always stayed behind to wash the dishes after the old
time ice cream socials and chicken dinners, just as the same
women now have to handle all the arranging and cleaning
up after social gatherings.
And a good many men who are nauseated with movies,
Jazz bands and synthetic gin would give a lot to turn the clock
and experience another ice cream social or even a croquet
game-in patent leather shoes, red necktie or tightly-wrapped
choker, straw hat with an inch-thck brim and white, starched
linen duck trousers, with maybe a watch-chain made of braid
ID shoestrings.

route built and permanently paved.
1t looks as if the Amboy avenue tangle was in a fair
way of being Strengthened out at last. Any further delay in

1.-THE State Highway Commission is also greatly concerned in
having this particular stretch of highway put in first class

happen from now on making the new and improved road
