C. M. r. c. RECRUITING
IN BERGEN COUNTY

In order to assure representative
attendance of Bergen county's young
men at the Citizens Camps in Platts-
burg, during August, 1928, number
of Reserve officers have been detailed
by the Second Corps Area Commander
to get in touch with graduates and
candidates. 1t is the policy of the
War Department to afford youngsters,
says Major James Stewart, Q.M.R.C.,
of Palisade the opportunity of one
months military training at Federal
expense.
If suitable men in Bergen county
were aware of the physical and mental
advantages of this plan, the county
quota for this years camp would be
filled with ease. A modification in the
making up of local companies will be
tried out along the line of assigning
members by ages, as we'll as districts.
The limit of age for those attending
the courses, Basic, White and Blue, is
seventeen years to twenty-four years,
but veterans of the Great War can be
accepted up to thirty-tive years of age.
Already $50 interested candidates
have applied for enrolment, although
the opening date of the camps is four
months away.

Wireless Tells Shore Is Near.
The wireless man heard assurances
they were close ashore and chopped
his way out of his den with the news.
The car ferry was driven before the
hurricane 18 miles in less than half
an hour. The men, blind from the
blizzard and the cold, clung on in the
darkness. At 1880 a. m. the ferry
smashed onto bar. The sky was
just commencing to tighten, but in the
darkness and the storm the men knew
not where they were. A second crash,
moment later, seemed to tear the
vessel to pieces. She keeled over to
one side. The half-frozen, exhausted
crew climbed to the upper rail and
hung on. Over the side they saw the
south breakwater of the Frankfort
channel. On shore the life guards and
the residents of the town were rush.

rolled again, and swung inside the
channel itself-and as 1t rolled over
the 80 men crawled over the rail, onto
the side Of the ship, and, sliding down
1t, dropped onto the wide breakwater.
Thirty minutes before they had
abandoned hope and knew the ship
would sink within half an hour. Then
they slid down Into the waiting arms
of friends and neighbors, and, hastily
wrapped in warm blankets, were car
ried across to the village sheltered
under the great hill, to warmth and
food.
And Captain Fredericksen filed his
pipe again and inquired If breakfast

Potato Row Ten Miles LONG.

The worlds longest potato field,
with rows ten miles long, Is believed
to be in Union county, Oregon. The
owner of the elongated patch leased
the right of way from the Oregon
Washington railway and plants his
crop, four rows on each side Of the
track. 1t requires farmer one whole
day to make a round trip of cultivat-
Ing two rows, or 20 miles of plOwing.
Aside from the money this potato
field brings its owner. the railroad
profits somewhat In that the green
vines In midsummer are fire pre-
ventative and serve as fire break
for those started elsewhere.

THEATER COST HEAVY LOAD
Austria Is Seeking Way to Tighten
tho States Deficit.

The financial support given by Aus
tria to the national theater and the
national opera adds so measurably to
the states deficit that two methods
Of possibly stopping these losses are
being considered.
One is to lease the theaters, and the
other Is to reform them. Each has its
opponents. Present-day actors and
employees claim to be Indifferent, but
assert, nevertheless, that reform Is I'M
possible because the present system Is
not unpopular with certain bureau
chiefs In authority.
The government department for the
administration of the theater and the
opera numbers 81 persons. The thea.
ter employees number 260 on the stage
and 256 behind the curtain, while the
opera has 600 persons on the stage
supported by 257 behind the scenes.
These salary lists, in addition to the
amount paid out in pensions, caused
a deficit last year of 15,000,0O0,000
crowns in paper money.

WEEKLY WHEEzE

Lots of people talk about condi-
tions in Fort Lee, yet no one says or
does a thing, as far as l can see, to
effect change in things over which
they gloat; their indignation ends in
words that get a fellows goat. If a
word or two is said officials feel
abused and holler that they don't get
paid too bad they're so misused.
Until some people take stand and
start to swing the axes, we'll all have
to just look on, keep still and pay the
taxes.

Peculiar Accident to Fireman.

A strange escape from death was
