Do you remember the old-time parlors of a generation
ago9 They were great show-places, with their frail gilded
chair. settee upholstered in horse-hair, family album, stereo-
scope, china parlor lamp hand painted in gorgeous colors,
and the footstool made of six tin cans covered with carpet.
Over in the corner was the "what-not," its shelves lit
tered with sea shells, souvenirs from the Philadelphia Cent?
mental and the jug covered with an amazing collection of
junk imbedded in putty.
Awe-stricken children used to peek into the parlor when
mother was out in her new alpaca leaving cards on the
bankers wife and other social lights.
For one was allowed in the parlor only on state occa-
sions-funerals, when the minister called, when company
came' or when sister entertained the young sport who drove
I'D in a side-bar buggy. Shades were drawn in the daytime
or shutters closed to keep the sun from fading the brussels
carpet.
Next to the parlor was the sitting room, center of home
life. where Little Willie read 'Rollo in Paris, mother darned
the socks and later read ''Godey's Lady's Book, and father
read the headache news from Washington, close up to the
smoking oil lamp, squirting his eyes as ne peered through
"specs."
We laugh at that atmosphere now. But it produced some
mighty substantial folks"
Changed conditions of home lfe-autos, movies, dancing,
uplift %clubs-have developed new problems, says John j.
Tigert, United States commissioner Of education.
when I was a boy says Tigert, "the basis for educa-
ton, morals and good citizenship was laid in the home. Home
was the center of the family's interest and affection. There was
taught good old-fashioned dogma. Each family felt and recog-
nized its responsibility Tor the ideas and ideals of each OF its
members
"But, to a very great and growing extent, that is not true
today. Now the boy and girl, the young man and young wom-
community and less and less by home influence"
To meet this situation, parents must pay greater attention
to community life. They must see to il, that all community
enterprises are on the highest possible plane. For the COM
munity now must supply the viewpoint and attitude toward
life which the family circle formerly supplied.
Women intuitively have sensed this. That is the real
reason why they have insisted on a voice il politics and the
affairs of the community. All this is an expression OF their
desire to produce better citizens.
That, too, is why a woman's place still is in the home
but only part of the time.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-05-23
a CHANCE TO O

Judging from the Men and Affairs column of the
Newark Sunday Call, New Brunswick is feeling a little cockv
because a Rotarian from New South Wales visited the New
Brunswick Rotary Club a few days ago and jolied the New
Brunswickers along a little by telling them that their city
was the best known city of the United States throughout
Australia and New South Wales. ut is all because the
products of a New Brunswick factory are sold by every drug
store in the country" the speaker said, by way of explana-
ton.
The reference, of course, was to the products OF the
johnson & Johnson concern. But in this respect New Bruins
wick has nothing on Perth Amboy. 1t is a safe bet that
wherever Johnson & Johnson products are to be found there
will also be found the product of the Chesebrough Manufac
turing Company, of Perth Amboy, makers of "vaseline." Ia
fact, the little bottle bearing the name of Perth Amboy is
likely to be found even where there are no drug stores,
svaseline' being a basic product and a household necessity
that carries it into places where the New Brunswick produc:
is never heard Of
But it is all in Middlesex county and the products OF
New Brunswick and Perth Amboy together certainly make a
combination that, for universal use, cannot be surpassed
anywhere. 1t is well for the people of this vicinity to bear
This in mind. Don't be afraid to tell the world what Perth
Ambov and Middlesex county can do. We can bind up the
sounds of all humanity. A boost now and then instead OF
20 much knocking will help a whole lot s
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-05-23
THE DEVELOPMENT OF CITIES

City planning is growing all over the world. Cities that
pretend to be anything or that want to make something OF
themselves are planning. This has been strikingly illus
lrated in the rebuilding of the towns and cities in the de-
vastated section of France. Cities that have been visited by
great fires take advantage of the opportunity to lay out the
destroyed section along scientific lines for the greater con-
venience of the public and to beautify the place.
The latest word about city planning comes from Jugo-
slavia which country is planning to have one of the most at
tractive capitals in all Europe. City planning experts of the
world were asked some time ago to submit plans for the en-
larQement and Identification of Belgrade, and out ofthe thou
sands of plans submitted six were selected from which the
final wedding out will take place.
Chicago, about twenty years ago, adopted a city plan
and that great city is now being developed along the lines
hen laid out. The bouevards and civic centers are all a
part of the scheme. The development is not being done in
a year or in ten years, but everything that is done is in &C
cordance with the plan as adopted and when it is completed
many years hence Chicago will be the magnificent city that
was laid out on paper long ago.
Another movement in this line is the work of the Rus
sell Sage Foundation. Plans have been drawn up by this or
sanitation for the development of New York and its envir-
,ns covering a district extending from Princeton on the
south to Bridgeport, Conn, on the north and including all
Of Long Island. The idea is to assist in conservation and i'm
prove social and living conditions.
r-~' In many cities that have been allowed to grow in a hap
hazard manner it has been necessary to tear down and de-
stroy work that was done only a few years ago in order to
conform to modern necessities causing enormous losses
which could have been saved had the city been properly
planned in the first place.
1t is gratifying TO know that the Perth Amboy City Plan
Commission is quietly functioning, and, with the limited
means at its disposal, will be in a position to report some
thing really worth while at the close of the year. 1t will
then be up to Perth Amboy to say whether the work shall g'I
on and to provide the funds to continue the operations.
The possibilities here are wonderful. Perth Amboy has
the location and it has the natural advantages. 1t remains
only for us to make the best use of what we have. This ca0
be done only through careful study and scientific develop
ment, each feature being worked out to conform with the
scheme for the whole city.
When we have such striking examples of the success
of city planning and see progressive cities all about us TAX
ing it up, it is plain that Perth Amboy has nothing to lose,
but stands to gain a great deal by adopting such a scheme of
development here.
