FLIvvERS AND BABIES

Your article about flivvers amused

neighborhood that L know myself, from
which just such u letter as hers might

Do You Know the Neighborhood?
The neighborhood | mean is typi-
cal street in the New England town
where ] was brought up. 1t wouldn It be
Main street, but Oak or Elm or Maple,
one of the shorter streets that turn
off Main street and take their names
from the fact that they once had a
preponderance of the tree named, Most
of the houses are single houses, "a few
small new ones and few larger,
shabbier older ones. Two out of the
three two-family houses on the street
are old fashioned houses made over.
And as it happens, most of the occu-
pants of these houses are young married
or young middle aged folks with lots
of babies and small children q mean
lots in the modern sense, three in one
house, four in another, five in another.)
Not ''Class' But Happiness
The last time ! went up that street

flivvers standing out in front of various

A FEW BUCKLIN ECONOMIES

A. NJ Bucklin has been permitted to "get away with
enutaon for economy which his record does not entte
him. record shows that he was one OF the most COSTLY
experrens the city made. The worst piece Oh
navemen that the city and OF the worst tha
anyone ever accepted under the OF
n Buckn. The west Main street pavement installed
in the Buckn scandal and disgrace as much
worse than anything that has been done SINCE as can pe
be rep aced within a very short time.
One of the burdens under which the city has been
struggling that made necessary to repair the
stupid administration of the water system under the Buckn
administration new filter system was allowed to be-
come practically ruined through incompetent penny
wise administration The people bathed in mud for two
years and then when they finally nloaded Buckin cost
thousands of dollars restore the water system to working
shape again The people have not forgotten Buckns
famous baths and will not be likely to do So But mere
is more Bucklin economy.
Another piece of Buckln economy to bind the city
70 contract for an exravagan piece Of engineering work
for scheme which materazed but which had to be
paid for lust the same Buckn bosses everything that he
connected with His vision narrow that he is not able
10 get true perspective business matter and like all
men of this caliber finally falls for things under the
puse of economy which in the final analysis cost ten times

way la the first place.

because cf it ALL I corrected.
An Approach to Real Happiness
And as | journeyed home that day
I fell to wondering if there is any
where a nearer approach to real happl-
ness than on a street like that where
hard work gives people tho discipline
they need to keep them from getting
soft, where babies give them reason
for living, where there is money enough
to pay the bills, to save and TO have
some of the simpler pleasures such as
the flivver is the symbol of.
i wonder if the people who live on
such streets know how happy they are.
Most of us don't, alas. To quote from
a contemporary Of mine whose work
L greatly admire:
"When l get rich the children dream
With eyes on some far day
And when they're old, with eyes
turned back:

AN "ENLIGHTENYNG'' EXAMPLE

1t would be difficult to find anything that would better
illustrate the measure of the Buckin, Simmons, Erwin
mind thar published article critcising Mr. Fawce for
installing lights block in the south end of the
city and the city for furnishing the to light them
The entire lighting system installed without
pense the city and the city for the The
the principal street at the south end of town
of the traffic which heavy day and night
This incident brings to mind another in which Mr.
Fawcett and Mr.. Bucklin concerned number of
ago Mr. Fawcet offered to donate to the city rest
and children to furnish the same and turn
without with string except that the city
was to maintain it. This project killed by Mr. Buckln
because located at the north end of town his
own propery and the working girls of town and the tired
children from the country went without needed
comforts for because of the
minded obstruction of And at the last the people
of the city compelled to provide these comforts
THEIR OWN EXPENSE and public sentiment forced the
city to pay the maintenance
In his appeal the votes of the people, Bucklln must
explain his record the question and add to
that his latest that the whole city should set in darkness
to the delight of the thug and hold-up man.
Ii is curious coincidence that although he was not
member of the city council and the rest matter
really none of his business j. j. Simmons found himself
happy in an atmosphere of opposition to everything of
public spirited that he broke into the discussion
and got himself record opposing the rest room for
girls

COMPLYING WITH MR.. BUcKLlN,s REQUEST

The following letter has been received from Alvin N
Buckn, candidate for city trustee, with the request that
be published The Press has desire keep up fire
on Mr. Buckln We have personal grievance against
him at ALL He is candidate for public office and what
has been published in this column has been published solely
because OF It's bearing his qualifications to this
city in the capacity of trustee. AS to retracon, the
Press publishes here certain memoranda taken from the
public records with affidavs supporting the 1t
tabshes what have said with reference the char
acter of Mr. Buckns tenants in the Franklin hotel build
ing The only question unsettled is whether Mr. Buck
lin knows this Notwithstanding his protests still
unconvnced in view of the fact that these public
court confessed their guilt paid their fines and the whole
proceeding published in the Mr. Buckln tear
fully declares that he is for law and order. We won't
argue this point with him. if he good faith will
for his information that these people who have pleaded
guilty to boot-leggng and suffered punishment therefor
are still his tenants and Saturday paid an occupation license
three months in advance evidently intending 20 remain
under Mr.. Bucklins roof for an indefinite period
Here is Mr.. Bucklins letter.

Gentlemen
In the issue of your paper Wednesday, March 29th

This whole article, from beginning to end

My reputation is dearer to me than life itself. For
public office in the gift of the people, the highest in
the land would part with it. To those who know me in
this community to those who have known all my
life have nothing to fear from such dastard1y and un
called for attack. +.e
The Editor of the Press himself better than he
knows too well the falseness Of his accusations He knows
that stand and have always stood since he knew

Dancing at the HackensaCk High

that form OF recreation.
In his statement. published today
in the Buzzer, the schools official
MA gaZIne. he SAYS:
Dancing i'm our high school is
on an entirely wrong basis. In
stead of It's being Il casual matter
il should be "a required course where
every pupil would he taught it as
a fine art by competent instructors.
As | view dancing from the side
lines. it has in the last twenty
years degenerated from thing of
beauty and rhythm to an awkward
unrhythmiCal discordant hobble to
the accompaniment Of the sensuous
