EvERYBoDY's IS CONCERN


Perth .Amboy is not responding as
It should to the appeal being made
In behalf OF the Home for the Aged.
Here are a group of old people who
must be supported. They have a
fine home provided for them, but 1t
requires about $4,000 a year to main
tain it. Surely Perth Amboy ought
to be able to do this. A number
Of public spirited citizens have given
800 each for this cause, but the
money is slow coming from the
people who cannot afford so much,
but who ought to be just as inter-
ssted in seeing this home properly
cared for as those of large means.
A few men and women have as
sumed the responsibility OF manag-
ing the Home for the Aged, They
give a. great deal of time to Il, and
he financial worry falls largely
upon them. This ought not 10 be.
It ought to be enough for the rest
OF the people to know that the home
is well managed and that someone
IS looking out for It. to induce them
10 contribute a little each year 20
meet the expenses. Surely those
who have the management OF the
home on their shoulders ought not
% have to worry about the finances.
especially as 1t is no more their
home than It is the home OF anyone
else in the city.
1t isn't much when one considers
what it means to these old folk.
Everybody is going to be old some-
time, and while no one looks for
ward to spending his last days in
--torlre, there is no telling what the
future has in store. Give something,
then, to help maintain this home for
the old folk for another year. 1t Is
responsibility that rests upon every
sitizen In the city.

ONE RECOUNT FINISHED


There isn't much encoura cement
for the Republicans in the result OF
the recount in the election OF the
mayor of Highland Park. The origi-
nal count gave DR.. George F. Leon
ard. the Democratic candidate,
majority of five. The recount in
creases his majority to seven. The
is the first Democratic mayor that
Highland Park has had in several
years.
The recount still goes on in the
case of the freeholder candidates
with Klemmer Kalteissen, Democrat
having a majority of three in the
original count. In this case, of
course, the whole county has to be
recounted, but the chances of In
oreasing Kalteissens majority are
lust as great as they are that his
three majority will be wiped out ana
a majority given to the Repuohean'
J. Fred Orpen. However, the Re
publicans are entitled to whatever
consolation they can get from the
fact that with bigger field to cover
there is more OF a chance of some
mistake in their favor being diseov-
cred. 1t is noticeable. however, that
Chief Justice Gummere who passes
on all doubtful ballots, is extremely
liberal. and there must be some real
reason for throwing out a ballot to
have 1t definitely rejected.

GERAN's BIG PROGRAM

Congressman Geran certainly tried
to please everybody when he started
for Washington to take his seat In
the House of Representatives. His
statement sounded fine. but 1t is
diHicult program he has laid out
for himself and somebody is likely
to be disappointed.
In the first place, he is strong for
the soldiers bonus. He made that
perfectly clear. IT most certainly
favor bonus for soldiers" he said,
"and I shall vote for such a meas
ure.r That ought to please the ex-
service men. Then. in order not to
hurt the feelings of the great mass
of citizens who are struggling under
enormous taxes and who have hopes
Of relief since Secretary Mellon has
shown the way he says he wants to
see taxes reduced, and will do every
thing he can to further that object,
but he takes pains to say that he
does not see how a reduction In
taxes depends upon the deferment
OF the bonus bill. The inference one
gets from the congressman's state
ment is that should 1t come to
choice between the bonus and re-
duced taxes. he will vote for the
bonus and let the taxes remain as
they are.
When It comes to the wet and dry
issue, the congressman would have
the volstead act strictly enforced;
he believes that stat and municipal
authorities should co-operateN in
every way with the federal authori-
ties 10 that end. At the same time.
being a Democrat and a good party
man. he would probably vote for an
amendment 20 permit the sale OF
light wines and beer. The congress
man does not say he favors light
wines and beer, but what else would
good Democrat do if the party
said so.
so much for these big issues AS
to local affairs. Congressman Geran
wants everybody TO be happy. Some
of the people down near the shrews-
bury want that river deepened so
as to make port in Monmouth

TRAIN TRAVELLING
BY F. NJ. METCALFE
Chairman, Steam Railroad Section.
National Safety Council

Statistics seem to indicate that
travelling on American passenger
trains today is almost safer than
walking on our city streets. OF the
comparatively few casualties sus-
tained by steam railroad passengers,
the majority are due to lack of or
dinafy thoughtfulness on the part of
the passenger himself. The usual
accident on the passenger train is
not due to train wrecks, as was once
the popular opinion. Rather it is
Cue to failure TO observe the follow
ing simple rules.
1. Do not leave your grips and
packages in the car aisle. You your
self or someone else may fall over
them
.. Do not place suiteases and
large pacakges in hat-racks as they
are ant to fall on you or fellow
passenger.
8. DO not put your arms or head
out of car window.
4. Do not board or leave a NOV
ing train. Wait until it stops.
s. Look where you step. Take no

6. Do not move about in train
while in motion, and don't allow
children to do so.
Z. Do not cross a track ahead of
a moving train. e Wait until 1t

s. Always stop. look in both di-
rections. and listen for approaching

Health Talks
CANCER

According to DR.. w. A. Conley
of New York, cancer now kills more
people yearly than any other disease.
You may be pleased to learn that a
group of physicians, who met re-
Gently in New York, founded a So
ciety for the scientific study and
treatment of cancer.
The project of educating the gen
eral public in the essentials regard
ing cancer should be an every day
affair, when such serious inroads are
being made by this disease among
our people. How can this bss. BE-
done is claiming the attention q this
new society.
