"a FIRE ENGINE FOR EVERY
HOME"
That is the motto now in West
Grantwood. 1t is quite the thing now
when one of the victims of the sewer
condition meets a fellow-sufferer to
ask, Have you little fire engine in
your homer"
1t is a question whether the prop
erty owners should buy them or Is it
up to the borough? Better advertise
for some bids.
delegation from East Grantwood
were at the council meeting Monday
night and l understand they spoke
quite "fiuidly" They couldn't do 9th
erwise il the subject under discussion
was the condition of the neighbor
hood in which they live.
But another conference has been
promised and relief is coming-so is
next Christmas.
Mayor Hill of Fort Lee has no time
to waste on the matter. 1t seems the
only people who are expected to
waste time are those who are being
inconvenienced.
The condition has existed for over
year but what's a year or two in
the life of mayor or councilman?
II We're real estate man l would
acquire some property up that way
and cash in on the situation. Wouldn't
this appeal to a New Yorker?

According to the latest reports the
citizens in this section are planning
to build an ark that will put old
Noahs to shame and it is requested
that prayers be offered for their safe
ty during the next heavy rain.
Amt 1t the Truth?
A man who carries stick of dyna-
mite around In his pocket is safe and
sane when compared to a married
man who carries love letter.
CITIZEN FIX 1T SAYS
he not only thinks the. dogs should be
muzzled this summer but some of the
people too.
One Of Life's White Lies
II called you up several times but
central said the line was busy"
One Of the most difficult operations
and one which is seldom successful,
is that Of taking the conceit out of
some people.
TAKING WAYS
Take a chair" said the newly mar
ried man as the visitor entered. "Tm
going to take the chairs, beds and
everything" said the visitor from the
furniture instalment house.
1t should be remembered that 1t is
not wise to cover your neighbors with
pitch in an attempt to whitewash
yourself.
What Is Success?
It's doing your job the best you can
And being just to your fellow man;
It's making money-but holding
friends,
And staying true to your aims and
ends;
It's figuring how and learning why,
And looking forward and thinking
high,
And dreaming little and doing
much;
It's keeping always in closest touch
With what is finest in word and
deed;
It's being thorough, yet making
speed:
It's daring blithely the field of chance
While making labor brave romance;
It's going onward despite defeat
And fighting staunchly, but keeping
sweet;
It's being clean and it's playing fair;
It's laughing lightly at Dame Des-
pair;
It's looking up at the stars above,
It's struggling on with the will to win,
But taking loss with a cheerful grin;
It's sharing sorrow and work with
mirth
And making better this good old
earth;
It's serving, striving through strain
and stress,
It's doing your Noblest-that's Sue
cess!
