UNION FIREMEN
INTEND GOING

Lambertville-Me of Union
Fire Co. are going right ahead with
their plans to attend the Firemen's
Convention at Burlington next Sat-
urday. It is reported that every
member of the Company is deter
mined to go if able to navigate.
1t will be remembered that Union
Co. was invited to the convention
back in August, and to bring their
new engine. They accepted the invi-
tation, and in courtesy to the City
Commissioners, invited them to go
as their guests. This invitation was
accepted by the Commissioners on
their regular meeting of September
End.
Then on September 9th Hibernia
Fire Co. also extended an invita-
ton to the Commissioners to ac-
company them to the convention at
Burlington. And that is what started
the fun, The Commissioners with
drew their acceptance of the Union
invitation, and went on record as
being opposed to both pumping en-
gines being out of the city at the
same time. They did not specifically
say which Company should not go,
but it is logical to conclude that
Union, being the first on record,
would be permitted to go.
The subject has afforded lot
of discussion among fire department
circles Union men point out that
for thirteen years Hibernia Co. has
attended celebrations all over the
State and in parts of Pennsylvania,
and should agree to stay at home
for once. Also they contend that
as they have the newest equipment
they should be the logical ones to
represent the city.
In their behalf it should be said
that they have worked hard to
provide this new equipment, and
they deserve holiday with which
to celebrate their accomplishments.
they have complied with fire de-
partment regulations in planning the
trip, and now they say that nothing
can stop them. They own their real
estate, building and equipment, with
small exception which they can
easily liquidate,) and they agree
with one accord in a quiet but deter
mined manner that nothing can stop
them next Saturday.
And on the other hand the MEM
bers of Hibernia Co. contend with
equal determination that they are
going.
This gives rise to situation
which can only be met with reguIa-
tions providing alternate absences
from the city for out of town cele-
brations. II is only fair that the diff
ferent companies take time about.

new HOPE BRICK COMPANY
COMPLETES ORGANIZATION
Prominent Local Men On The Board of
Directors. Expect To Turn Out
Brick Before January lst.

As a booster for the community,
this paper always desires to give
prominence to legitimate enterprises
in its midst. For this reason several
articles were printed in the inter-
est of the Clay Products Co., whose
plan is at Rabbit Run, and which
is signal credit to the community.
And for this reason space has
been devoted to the operations of
the New Hope Brick Co., whose
plant is now undergoing construe-
ton at Huffnagle Station on the
outskirts of New Hope. The person
mel of its organization is of such
high character that it insures hon
est management. And this is an
earnest of success.
In appreciation for the news items
already published, showing the de-
velopment of the New Hope Brick
plant, Mr.. Ives L. Harvey, president
and general manager of the Com
pany, writes the following commun-
ication, giving the names of the
organization of the board of direc-
tors. He has given his permission
for the letter to be used.
October IA, 1924.
Mr.. Gordon Cooper,
Editor
My dear Mr.. Cooper:
Approaching the interest that you
have shown in our enterprise by
publishing articles in your paper
from time to time, | thought |
would like to inform you of the
progress being made in the con-
structions of our new brick plant.
The actual construction work was
only started few weeks ago, and
at present the indications are that
we will be manufacturing brick be-
fore January first, 1925. The plant
we are building is, in every way,
practical plant. A number of the
men interested in the management
have been actively associated with
the manufacture of brick for many
years and the present plant is being
built by these experienced men. The
writer, as President and General
Manager, of the company, has had
% years experience in this business
having been an official of the Hayes
Run Fire Brick Company, of Or

vision, Pa, which has been one
of the most successful brick plants
in the country.
As stated above, a number of the
Directors have been and are now
actively associated in the manufac-
ture of brick in other places.
Our plant is being financed to a
great extent by the members of the
Board of Directors themselves and
through the sale of bonds. We have
been most successful in interesting
many of the leading business men
of the surrounding community in our
proposition. These people have thor
oughly investigated the matter and
feel that their money is being wise
ly invested in one of the soundest
propositions of the country. The
great demand for high grade face
brick in the Eastern part of the
United States is guarantee of
prosperity for the brick business
in this community.
We are at all times glad to have
visitors at our plant and are happy
to give them all the information we
can regarding the brick business in
general and our own proposition in
particular.
We would like to give you. here
with, the names of the Directors of
our Company, many of whom are
favorably known to you and all of
whom have been successful in their
particular lines of business.

eral manager; 0. S. Kelsey, secre-
tary and treasurer; Alexander Nc

interest You have shown, and assur-
ing you that we are at all times
glad to give you any information
YOU may desire regarding our Com
pany, | am

STRAND-THE ALASKAN

"The Alaskan" James Oliver
Curwood story starring Thomas
Meighan, will be the central at
traction at the local Strand next
Friday and Saturday. Matinee Sat-
urday at 3 p. M.
Alaska land of ice-clad noun
tains and towering glaeiersi Alaska
where towns are born overnight
and gold is sluieed from the rich
earthi Alaska mysterious, strange
colorfull World of the Midnight
SUM
This is the rugged setting in
which "The Alaskan" Thomas
Meighan's latest Paramount produce
ton, unfolds its story of gripping
red-blooded drama. 1t is pcturi-
cation, based on Willis Goldbeck's
adoption of James Oliver Curwood's
dynamic novel Of the same name.
Herbert Brenon, who produced it,
Thomas Meighan and the entire sup
porting cast travelled more than four
thousand miles by sea from Holly
wood into the wilds of British Col
umbia to secure the proper loca-
tions.
Here is an outdoor story based
upon conditions which are so recent
they can scarcely be called his
tory. II tells of the grim battle
waged against forces seeking to
exploit the country by the sons of
men who went there quarter of
century ago. This second genera
ton, the men of today, are the
true Alaskans. Meighan's new star
ring vehicle is an idealization of
this sturdy race which has come in
to under the shelter of the American
flag.
A talented cast has been assem-
bled that, among others, include
Estelle Taylor, John Sainpolis,
Charles ogle, Frank Campeau and
Anna May Wong,

Coach Roettger's gridiron war
riors faced the husky Bangor eleven

The first quarter passed without
score. The whole team was heart
and soul in the game. Mario at
right end was wonder at defense,
making spectacular tackles.
The second quarter began with a
march down the field, in which Nay
lor and Banchoff featured. Mario
crossed the line for Lambertville's
first score, by pulling in a tumble.
In the second half, Bangor went
down the field on straight football.
Lambertville stiffened on the ten
yard line and the quarter ended
without score.
The last quarter was an exhi-
bition of beautiful playing. John
Banchotf intercepting pass, went
down the field for long gain.
Shortly after, Bowe took the ball
over the line for the second touch
down.
The game ended with the teams
in the center of the field. 1t
brought to close a perfect foot
ball day.
Both teams must be commended
for their clean-cut play. There was
no dirty work to mar an exciting
game 1t was perfect in every detail.
Reimer and Martin shared hon
ors equally for Bangor. As for Lam
bertville's stars, every man played
beautiful game.
