THE COAL SITUATION

With Perth Amboy today well supplied with coal and relief from
the threatened famine assured for the time being, at least, the city
owes a vote of thanks to the Lehigh Valley Sales Company for their
action in giving the city an advanced supply Of the fuel quota al
iotted here. Perth Amboy is perhaps the first city to be given such
consideration during the coal famine coal shortage crisis and
merits the appreciation Of every coal consumer here.
Considering the fact that many large communities must receive
coal being shipped through this port, many Of which have suffered
during the famine more than Perth Amboy, the treatment accorded
the city by the Lehigh company is most praiseworthy. Coal shipped
through this port goes to New York, which city is now experience
ing a severe coal shortage, aud to New England, where suffering
during the severe cold weather has been most acute. People who
saw the large amount of coal along the rail lines here and accord.
ingly urged seizure by the city did not remember, perhaps, that this
coal was being shipped to fill the quota in other cities less for
tunate than Perth Amboy. This city's coal quota has been filled
regularly, but not SO with other places served by the Lehigh
company.
1t is also gratifying to find that Perth Amboy still has levet
beaded, sober minded citizens who, it has been shown, can accom-
plsh more by diplomacy and a fair presentation Of honest facts
than by urging seizure by the city. If the latter move was carried
out the city would have been placed in a most difficult position.
Saratoga, N. Y, tried that and received as a result, a small supply
Of coal, a reprimand by the fuel administrator and much unpleasant
notoriety.
The Lehigh company, coal operators and local dealers have
done their utmost to provide the people here with coal. Their
problems have been many and complex and any suffering by the
people has been beyond their control.
Another lesson can be learned from the fuel situation. The coal
conference which ended so satisfactorily for the city shows that
much more can be accomplished by the discussion Of the merits #
any case with all cards laid on the table without restoring to con,
ffsoation, injunetions, long drawn out litigation and other distress
my procedures that do not cause growth or prosperity il any eom-
munty. J.
The city has coal. 1t also keeps its reputation as a city that be-
leyes in the majesty of the law as placed IN the statutes. 1t has
not aroused the antagonism Of the coal sales companies ar the rail
Dads in this respect. Bring on your next problem. II can be
settled in the same way. /

YOUR TROUBLES

Life is easier to understand and less difficult to handle,
if we perceive the truth that there is a purpose behind every
thing.
For instance, you make a mistake and pay the penalty.
The chances are, you'll realize later on that the mistake was
sent to help you avoid a greater mistake.
Take a reckless auto driver, defying the fates and by his
carelessness endangering his life and others. He has a mar
row escape or a small smashup. Unless he is inclined to be
feeble minded, the incident sobers him, makes him more care
full. This probably prevents a big accident later.
Or take a man drinking himself to death. lie wakes up IN
jail, his memory a blank. A great fear seizes Inn. What 5
he locked up for? Murder? A great sigh of relief when be
earns that all he did while drunk was get into a brawl wifi
cut casualties. Chances are, this drunkard-lf drink taSn
entirely destroyed his common sense-Wlli beco"e an a's-"'t-
err. Again the small trouble prevents him from big trouble
later.
After all, maybe it's a good thing that Europe is III hot
water. With more troubles than it can handle. several years o.
so of this, and it will gradually percolate through Europeans
skulls, that war does not pay, that it is a terrific mistake
Progress, you know, is born in pain.
On the other hand, if Europe could suddenly be restored
to normal and it's path strewn with roses, the European would
out of, after all. Come on, let's have another round"
Europe is suffering from cause and effect-from the law
Of action and reaction. You can put on shock aosoroers. bue
you cannot entirely eliminate the reaction.
We pay the full price for everything we do IN this world
and for everything we get out of life. 1t may not WORK out
that way in some of our activities, but it does on the law Oh
averages.
One man may seem to have the knack Of getting money
too easily, but somewhere in his life the system is evening
things up. Strike an average, and we're all IN much the same
boat, getting about the same out of life.
Of course, it depends on Individual reaction to life, on our
sensitiveness for responding to joy or trouble. What may be
a tragedy to one person isn't a chill o. beans to another.
And one of us can get infinite joy from something that would
bore others.
Troubles and mistakes are sent to develop our characters,
to bring out our hidden powers and to make us appreciate the
good things when they come. Everything gets monotonous,
when there's no contrast.

BUILD THE SCHOOL

Can it be that any double-crossing is going on in connection
with the new Hall avenue school building? Although it is general
" agreed that the new school is badly needed, and although com
petent opinion has been secured to the effect that bonds for school
purposes can be sold without any effect on the legal debt limit
nothing is done toward getting the work started.
This matter of the Hall avenue school has been hanging fire
tor four or Ave years. In the meantime conditions have been going
from bad to worse. Not only are a thousand or more children
being taught in basement rooms, which is against the law, but a
great many other pupils are on part time-and no relief is in sight.
The state authorities, it is learned, are becoming much interested
in the educational situation in this city and as the state has CON
troll over more than one hundred thousand dollars which comes
TO Perth Amboy dvery year for school purposes, it behooves the
local authorities to watch their step or they may find this contri-
button from the state suddenly cut off. As long as the law is being
dened as it is in this city at the present time, the state officials
have a perfect right to withhold state aid in financing the schools.
It would be well for parents to visit the schools and see under
what conditions their children are being taught, and find out
whether or not they are securing all the advantages they are en-
titled to. An earnest protest might wake the authorities up.
And the protest should go to the Board of Aldermen. The
poard of School Estimate has recommended that the new school
~ built and AIderman-atLarge Calvin and Alderman Mcclure.
together with Mayor Wilson, are members of the Board of School
Estimate. If these men are sincere in their attitude, why do they
not urge action on the part Of the Board Of Aldermen in financing
the PROJECT?
Not only has expert advice been secured TO the effect that
bonds issued for the new school would be perfectly legal, but it
is understood that there is a purchaser ready to take the bonds
as soon as they are offered for sale. Realizing that the school
got to be built and that conditions are becoming more intol-
every day, why do the aldermen hedtate' Who is it that
