FOR PLEASURE AND RECREATION

The movement SO well started toward making a county park
and recreation center out of the tract of land at Menlo Park which
was bought for a tuberculosis hospital ought to have the enthu-
siastic backing of every citizen so that it may be carried through
to a successful conclusion. As the population of the county IN
creases the need for some such recreation center will be felt. When
the county owns such an ideal site located so conveniently to the
,aroe centers of population everything should be done to encourage
the movement.
From the moment that the State Board of Health condemned
The Menlo Park site as the location for a tuberculosis hospital the
Evening News has opposed the county selling the tract. This news
paper has pointed out the tremendous popularity OF the Essex
county park system, and the fact that Union county is about to
establish a park system to link up with that of Essex county at the
same time, the Essex county park system will sooner or later be
connected with the Interstate Park system that extends along the
Palisades of the Hudson including Bear Mountain What could be
more logical, then, than for Middlesex county to plan now to de-
yelop a park system of her own which would, IN tlme' INK up
with this vast chain of parks, making a continuous pleasure ground
all the way across the state and up the Hudson as far as West
Point.
The population of Middlesex, according to the last official
census, will not permit the establishment of a county park system
at the present time, but the population is SO close to the required
number that it is likely to be passed when the next official census
is taken. In the meantime, the county should, by all means, hold
on to this ideal tract of 37 acres as a beginning of Middlesex's
!, park system. Until a system can be established excellent use can
be made of the tract by permitting the various organizations Of
the county to use it as a camping and picnic ground. Ihere Is
ample room for all, and if weak and puny children are taken there
for a week r two during the summer in order that they may get
away from the tenements and have a chance to live, it ought not
to interfere with the pleasure of others.
The Middlesex County Recreational Council IS dong an e&-
ccllent work. Developments of this kind are of the utmost I'M
portance, and the value Of such a recreation ground as is proposed
will be realized more and more as the county Is built up ana IN
population increases. That Menlo Park site will eventually be-
come one of the greatest assets of the county. Let IL De deolcateo
TO the people for recreation for all time.

PRICE OF LAND FOR BRIDGE APPROACH

1t was hardly to be expected that the Donnel Lumber Com
pany would at once accept the offer of the State Highway Com
mission, which was recently made for the three and one-halt acres
of land for the approach for the new highway bridge. Even
though the price is for only about half of the land which the state
originally bought, the difference in the amount is so great that to
have accepted the new offer would have been an open confession
by the lumber company that the price paid by the old highway
board was far beyond the actual value.
And it is doubtful if the State Highway Commission thought
that the lumber company would accept its offer. 1t had to go
through the motions, however, and now that the expected has
happened no time should be lost in having the value fixed by a
duly appointed condemnation commission so that the matter can be
closed and the work of constructing the bridge started.
The State Highway Commission feels confident that is can con-
vince any condemnation commission that the price fixed by the
boards appraisers is about right. If it does stand it will mark a
great contrast between the original figure of $4,000 and $5oolo,
which would be the price of the whole seven acres based on the
price of $29,405 for half Of the tract. Here alone is a saving of
$171,190. Truly, the governors fight in behalf of the taxpayers
was well worth while.

A LOST ART

The quill pen has fought its last battle against the steel
and fountain pen-and lost. Philip Cooper of London, whose
company used to ship as many as three million quill pens at a
time to the Indian government, announces that they've quit
making quilts.
The Southwark County Court in England has been the last
stronghold of quill pens. The court chung to them as a matter
of sentiment, a link with the olden days. But even this court
recently discontinued quilts and adopted fountain pens.
So dies a quaint and ancient industry, mighty in its day.
Such quill pens as will be made in the future will be the
decorative kind that are parked in a jar of birdshot on mi
lady's writing desk.
Philip Cooper gives ''no market as the chief reason for
going out of the quill manufacturing business. Another rea-
son is that he no longer can find a workman who knows the
art of making them.
The craftsmanship involved in making auills was intricate
and required a skill found in few trades. The art was handed
down from father to son. As with beating out gold leaf, it
was said that a quilpen maker was born, not made.
The quill pen served many generations to whom it was the
leading instrument of making records and writing letters.
It's passing is symbolic of the fate of all man-made devices.
The new and improved inevitably becomes the antiquated and
obsolete.
The fountain pen is handler but experts claim that thy
best grade of quill pen-made from a wild goose of HudsonY
Bays the finest instrument for writing in the world. These
top-notch quilts sold in b undred-lots for about Ii cents apiece
in the olden days when 13 cents was considerable money.
Wonder what will eventually put the fountain pen out of
business.

A MOTION PICTURES

The contention by certain motion picture producers that the
public is responsible for what is unworthy on the screen, because
the producers try to give the public what it demands, is only part
" right. While the public must unquestionably share in some of
the blame if it tolerates Objectionable pictures, it also has ground
for complaint against them. The taste for improper pictures may
be, in part, an inheritance from the old Adam, but it is also, in
part, acquired from poisonous offerings with which certain pro-
ducers have bid for patronage.
There are standards of decency in the "moVie" art that should
be observed by producers, regardless of what they may think the
public demands. The fact that Objectionable films are tolerated
does not excuse their production. The responsibility is on every
producing individual and organization and industry serving the
public to obscure the demands of proprety. They can not shift
this responsibility by pretending that the public is flthy-minded.
