New York, it seems, no sooner re-
covers from one seige of excitement
than if goes into another. The Amer
lean Legion Convention had hardIy
ended when baseball fans began 10
anticipate the Worlds Series. Maybe
I'm exaggerating but it seems tins Is
the most avid baseball town IN the
world. There are folks here VINO
would go crazy, steal and practically
kill over a baseball game or its raml-
fications. Well, the Series has come
and gone and the Yanks won. But
it was not until after those Buns
from Brooklyn played their hearts
out that the Bronx Bombers could do
it. During the Worlds Series, every
afternoon seemed like Saturday,
Now it's all over and all these fans
have to look forward to is next
springs training-and another live
ly struggle.
That controversial movie, 1.-The
Outlaw" which has gotten its pro-
Queer, Howard Hughes, so much
publicity and criticism finally arrlv-
ed on Broadway after a long SQUAD
BILE with New York censors. 1t is not
a good movie-in any n of the
word, and It's too bad that so much
attention is given to it. Now to cap
the climax, the theater showing it
has been leaving its glaring, flash
ing signs on all night a~nd-accord-
ing to nearby residents disturbing
the slumber of those who sleep in
adjoining apartments. So they have
brought suit in court to get THE
Outlaw" outlawed again. Truly, this
seems an appropriate name.
When l first came to New York,
October's effects on this city was a
Wondrous sight to behold. Around
the early parts Of the month, thous-
ands of people moved from n
apartment to another or out to the
suburbs or out of town and far away.
Moving vans were all owe the street
and it was generally a time of tran
sit. Not so now. There is so little
moving, SO few places to 10y to,
that October which was once known
as the month of moving is now just
another fall month with most per-
sons being thankful that they have
four walls around them and a roof
over their heads.
Even though it is known as a cold,
unreasonable place, New York is
still big hearted in many ways. Pre-
sently there is being conducted here
a campaign to get jobs for dis
abled veterans. Probably most OF
you readers know that the role of
veterans has become a rather bedim-
med n already. People who praised
the exploits of our service men a
few months ago now grumble about
any special privileges which are
proposed for these men-and a lot
of prospective employers think if a
veteran was an officer in the serv-
ice, he will try to be an even bigger
brass hat in civilian life. This is part
ly the fault of the vets themselves
too, for some of them have not been
too careful or modest about parading
their rank and ribbons to their less
| accomplished civilian friends. How
ever, the Sales Executive Club, a live
organization in many ways, has set
about this local project in a scienti-
fic manner. No more letters or few
words of sympathy. These expert
statesmen are going out and combing
the town for employers to get busy
and give the purple heart boys a job
and there are something like $500
of these unemployed disabled veter-
ans in New Yory City alone. The
statesmen are getting results too
They're going right to the big shots
laying the case right on the line as
they do in selling their own pro-
ducts. Already many jobs have re-
suited. This would be a good pro-
ject for your own town to take up.
Any automobile dealer will tel
you that a great cause of a lot of the
wrecks which take place on the
highway is the bad condition of the
old cars themselves. New York state
has done something about this. Now
in this state, all dealers when sellins
or transferring any used automobile
must certify in writing that the
brakes, lights and signalling device.
are mechanically adjusted to comply
with the law and are in condition
and repair to render satisfactory ser
vice under normal use at the tins
of delivery.
