NOTHING DONE
FOR VETERANS
Says PiCkersgiII at Reunion
Held by Members of 18th
Division

Speaking at the third reunion or
the 18th Division Get-Together Asso-
citation in the Elks Club last night,
Recorder Harold l.. Pickersgill child
ed the United States government for
failure to live up to the huge prom
ises made the soldiers during the
war and further declared that the
city of Perth Amboy has done moth
ing so far to show their appreciation
for the sacrifice made by about 1000
men of this city who willingly un-
derwent all possible hardships in
the camps and behind the trenches.
Mr.. Pickersgill, who spoke in tho
place of Mayor Wilson, further went
on to say. that any man who wore
a Uniform has the full right to
delve into the affairs of the govern
ment administration and see that a
square deal is given the ex-servise
men.
Andre Anderson, grand exalted
ruler, of the local Elks Club, in a.
brief greeting address said that the
club is always willing to assist the
ex-service men and offered the club
rooms at their disposal whenever
| wanted. Capt. Chas. Reed, of New

Wesley Barry, the lad of many
freckles and the smile that never
wears off, is announced for an ap-
pearance at the Ditmas theatre, be-
ginning next Monday, where he will
be seen in his latest picture, Heroes
of the Street"
In this Warner Brothers produc-
ton Wesley is seen as plucky boy
whose bravery helps him do things
at which his grown-up superiors fail.
He is cast in a role that gives him
unusual opportunities to reveal side
of him that was not called out in
his other pictures, "Penrod," !"
''Schoo. Days" and Rags to Riches -
In them he was a mischief flowing
frolicking urchin, always ready for a
prank; here he is AL this plus new
quality that will the more endear
him to his many followers among
the men, women and children Of this
city.
Humor and pathos are said to be
persuasively blended in this picture,
which was written by Lem Parker
and adapted for the screen by Ed
mund Goulding. It is the story of
Mickey Callahan, very much Irish,
as his name indicates, and showing
1t in the numerous fistic victories
over fellows of corner gangs who do
their best to lick him and end his
lucky streak. Mickey can handle
them one at a time. and when they
come on too fast his bull terrier,
''Canisole," is always ready to do a
little pursuing and come back with
the tag ends of a pants seat. In the
midst of his checkered boyish life
enter mystery and tragedy, and
then Mickey changes TO a serious lad
out to find certain crook and MUIR
derer.
The program also includes special
selections by the Ditmas orchestra,
under direction of Ralph Gunst.
