LEGION
PLAN SESSION
Edgar Likely to Be Next
County Commander-To
Meet at HeImetta

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. 6.-The
next county meeting of the Middle
sex Department of the American Lee
gion will be held in the rooms of r.
D.. Burt Post No. 202, Helmetta,
next Tuesday night. At this meet
ing election of officers for the con-
ing year will take place.
The name of Joseph Edgar, of
Highland Park, is being prominently
broadcasted about the county as the
next county commander. 1t is un-
derstood that a large number of the
posts have already pledged their
support to Edgar at the convention.
John Conlogue, of the local post,
who was also mentioned, has made
it clear hat he is not in the rsIee
this year.
No few members of the Legion
feel that Edgar, coming from High
land Park, is entitled to the consid-
Grafton of the posts throughout the
county. Edgar himself is of the
most active members of the county
and in the event of his election some
big things are expected OF him.
Commander Ronald Kleckner, who
will on next Tuesday night turn over
the key If the county to a success
sor, leaves implanted in the minds
of the Legion men of the county an
excellent record of achievements.
There are rumors that Kleckner's
name will be offered for a state
office at the next convention to be
held at Newark in September, as
Middlesex county's representative.
In a bulletin issued from County
Headquarters by Commander Kleck-
ner, the executive points out the ne
cessity of having the per capita tax
paid before December 8.
The convention will be a joint one.
The Legion Auxiliary will also be in
session at Helmetta at this time.
Senior Vice Commander Raymond
P. White, of the New Jersey De-
partment, will address both gather
ings at this time.

Dark Teeth BIeached White
In Three Minutes

No matter how dull, yellow or stained
your teeth may be, you can now bleach
away the most dingy discolorations leav-
ing the teeth clear, sparkling white and
lustrousl

teeth whittier and cleaner than when
secured an hour by old-fashioned methods.
This new dental formula contains certain
harmless ingredients which instantly cur
die and soften the most hardened stain
coats-so they can actually be rinsed
away. These ingredients act only on
stains-they cannot possibly affect enamel.
Simply brush teeth with a few drops.
Then rinse the mouth. Yellow dingy
stains have vanished. And instead you
have flashing white teeth that everyone
will admire. Tobacco stains usually dis
appear after first application. This new
liquid, called Bleachodent, is endorsed by
dentists everywhere. Excellent for Sore

mended for children's teeth which stain
easily. Get Combination to-
day. Be sure and ask for B"leachodent
