NOLAN CHIEF
AT So. AMB0Y
Have Election Last
Night Freeman LIST ASsiS-
tant and Leonard End

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. 4-James
Nolan, of Protection Engine Com
pany is now chief of the fire depart
ment. Mr.. Nolan succeeds Michael
f.. Maggie who served for the past
year and who leaves an admirable
record of achievements behind him.
Charles *. Freeman Of the Mechan-
icsville Hose Company is first assist
ant chief. Both of these men ad-
vanced a step. The offices were not
contested.
At a spirited meeting held in the
rooms of the Protection Engine
Company last night four candidates
from the various companies of the
city made things hum for the office
of second assistant chief, which
leads to the most coveted office of
the whole department, that of chief.
Michael Leonard emerged from the
battle a victor. Leonard, a member
of the Independence Engine 81 Hose
Company is now the second assistant
chief.
Chris Mulraine, attached to the
independence Engine and Hose
Company, Harry A. Leonard of the
Enterprise Hook and Ladder Com
pany, n Walter Inman of the Pro-
gressive Hose Company, were the
other candidates seeking the COW
eted Office.
The new chief will enter upon his
duties at once. Chief Nolan is one
of the Oldest firemen in the city
and perhaps one of the most active.
The members of his company look
for some much needed improve
ments under the new chiefs reign.
No few of the firemen feel that a
nice gift. on the part of the coun-
ell to CHIEF Nolan. would be the
installation of a brand new, much
needed fire fighting machine in the
fine building of the Protection En-
CINE Company.

Southeast and Takoma branches, will
continue closing a 8 pm. on We'd
nesdays and also will close at l pm.
Saturdays and be closed on Sundays
during July. August and September.
The library will not be open on
July or on Labor day. DR.. Bower
man points out that the closing on
these days is necessary because of
reduced congressional appropriations
for Sunday. holiday and half-holiday
service. Although it is recognized
at the library that Saturday half
holidays and Sundays afford to many
their best opportunity for using the
library, it is hoped that the ruling
which permits adult readers to bor-
row five books at n time while in
the city and ten books when leaving
for vacation will prevent the en-
forced closing over the summer week
ends from working too great a hard
ship until larger appropriations may
be secured and the customary hours
of opening resumed. Speaking of the
summer work, DR.. Bowerman said:
"a large number of persons find in
the summer time their best opportu-
nifty for reading. With friends alb
sent and little in the way of amuse-
ment available books come into their
own.
THE Public Library has been pub
fishing in the Sunday Star during the
last few weeks lists of books as sug-
gestions for summer reading. The
nists are TO be found posted in the
lobby of the library and the books
have been assembled there for easy
selection.

that for the hurried visitor to the

and retain them until October l or
for such portion of that time as they

particularly designed to be helpful
where there are children who need

on stormy days. The children'S de-
partment has a vacation reading list

Get Together

Now let US get together to help
our good old town, nor use our lungs
of leather to run the boosters down.
If Jones puts up dwelling, let's
praise it to his face, and not get
busy yelling that it is a disgrace.
The endless criticizing discourages
those men who would, with pep sur
prising, put up a chicken pen. To
kick and carp is yellow. it shows a
lack of sense; it merely sours the
fellow who plans to paint his fence
When we behold neighbor intent
on worthy deeds, oh, let's indorse
his labor, give him the praise he
needs. The cowshed you are build
ing. let us to him explain, with all
its costly gliding is surely safe and
sane. Its hagpole and its manger
appeals to every man, it notifies the
stranger that Punktown's in the van.
You set high example, you teach
us that our town is we'll prepared to
trample unworthy rivals down" If
we would boost the builder we'd fill
him with content, and he would
spend guilder where now he
spends cent. 1t is the idle knock
ing that keeps village down; it is
the spiteful talking that petrihes a
town. So let's forget our grudges,
and trade our rocks for flowers, and
If the old town budges the credit
will be ours.

LIMIT ON INCREASE

Additions Such as England Pro-

The United States does not contem-
plate a great increase in its air feet
such as has been announced by Great
Britain, which purposes to double its
forces, it was said at the War
Department. Instead Secretary Weeks
fs understood to take the position that
the Army Air Service should continue

new types of improved military quail
ties rather than to attempt, under the
present condition of national finances,
10 maintain equality with any particu
lar nation.
1t was emphasized that the Ameri-
Gan policy does not rest upon any par
Gcular ratio of strength for the fly
ang corps as compared with other ma
Hons.
The American air service does not
ut present compare in size with the
French. 1t does, however, hold a great
majority of the air records of the
world, all established with machines
designed and built since the war and
under the supervision of the air
service
War Department officials. it was said,
feel that the best policy to follow
under present conditions is to exert
every effort in the advancement of
scientific knowledge and designing in
order that there would be available
practical plans for superior aircraft
on which a war fleet could be con-
Structed in case of need.
