Maybe Hague Was Right!1

WOODBRIDGE—The new law passed by the State Legislaturechanging the formula for the collection of second class railroad taxes,has cut down considerably the total of tax collections expected during1941. This -was the measure so vigorously but unsuccessfully opposedby Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City.

Township Attorney Leon E. McElroy and Tax Collector MichaelJ- Trainer had estimated that the. percentage of current taxes col-lected for 1941 would be 82 per cent. They had figured that approxi-mately $107,000 in second class railroad taxes would be paid beforethe end of the year.

However, according to the law arising out of the railroad com-promise, but $46,137.66 was paid to the Township. The remainingS60,965.29 -will be paid during this year under the extension grantedin the measure.

Instead of collecting the 82 per cent anticipated, the collectorhas reported that the percentage of current taxes collected is 77.50.In 1940 the percentage was 76.61.

Despite the cut in railroad taxes for 1941, Mr. McElroy estimatesthat the tax rate for 1942 will be a few points lower than last year.

The total cash collected in the tax office during 1941 was $1,594,-429.38 as against $1,597,859.24 in 1940. The current taxes paid in1941 amounted to $1,052,449.83 against a levy of $1,370,751.76.

Martha Scott and Frederic March in "One Foot in Heaven,"destined to be one of the truly great motion pictures of our time,opens today at the Ditmas Theatre, Perth Aniboy for a week's run.

ON THE SILVER SCREENCRESCENT

Tough guy by screen reputation.Billy Halop, leader of the De. dEnd Kids proved he could ' take iVduring the filming of hazardousaction scenes for Universal's 12-chapter serial, ''Sea Raiders"showing at the Crescent Theatre.

In the fast - moving episodedrama in which he is starred withhis Dead End pals—Huntz Hall.Gabriel Dell and Bernard Punsly—along with the Little Tough Guys,Billy was called upon to performseveral daring" sea rescues. Prob-ably the most spectacular and dan-gerous feat he undertook beforethe cameras was an underwatersequence in which he struggles freeone of his gang enmeshed in awhale-harpoon line.

MAJESTIC —The eo-stai-ring team of Errol

Flyiin and Olivia de Havilland whohave made screen history with suchpictures as "Robin Hood," "Cap-tain Blood," "The Charge of theLight Brigade" and "Santa FcTrail," will be back at the MajesticTheatre, Perth Amboy, starting to-day, with their newest WarnerBros, picture, "They Died WithTheir Boots On," a film that tellsin spectacular detail, the story ofGeneral George Custer, one of thenation's most colorful heroes. Di-rector Raoul Walsh, master of theoutdoor epic, guided the produc-tion.

DITMASAs far out of the formula movie

territory as the title implies, "OneFoot in Heaven" which opens to-day at the Ditmas Theatre, pre-sents a story that is as refreshinglydifferent as it is richly entertain-ing.

The country minister (preacherin rural Midwest parlance) and hisfaithful wife come into "their ownin this Warner Bros, picture star-ring Fredric March and MarthaScott. From their early trials, attimes highly humorous, at otherssemi-tragic, to victory in a rousingstruggle, and to filial renunciationof material comforts for the sakeof the Cause, they do themselves,and their calling proud.

STRANDIf past performances are any

criterion—and the past perform-ances of Barbara Stanwyck andHenry Fonda, together or separ-ately, can be considered a fairlysafe criterion- —Columbia's "YouBelong to Me*' is heading for thekind of audience reaction whichmade such other hits as "The

I Awful Truth," "Here Comes Mr.Jordan" and "Mr. Deeds Goes toTown" classics in screen comedy.

"You Belong to Me," WesleyRuggles' new production openingtomorrow at the Strand Theatre,stars Miss Stanwyck and Fonda.Said to possess all and more of thedelightful tempo and atmospherewhich distinguished their most re-cent; comedy, "The Lady Eve," thenew film has been praised as "anatural" for the brilliant talentsof the players.

Miss Stanwyck is seen as ayoung woman doctor, seriously ab-sorbed in her practice of medicine,who becomes the bride of & hand-some" young socialite. Mr. Fonda,as the love-crazy husband, is suf-ficiently understanding to recog-nize why his bride won't stay forbreakfast . . . but he fails to carrythat understanding into practiceT-his wife's practice.

Betrothal Of Vera SilagiIs Told At Family Dinner

HOPELAWiN —Mr. and Mrs.John Silagi of Loretta Avenue an-nounce the engagement of theirdaughter, Vera, to Andrew SupkoJr., son of Mr. and Mrs. AndrewSupko Sr. of Columbus Avenue.

Thus, thisson re i1 of supply is wiped out. In the easeof pi-.oline,~it- is remembered, there wasn«> KJiDLtage -of oU^-r-raerely one of trans-portation.

At the -presenttime, this country hasjic-ithoi the mechariiear equipment nor theraw in iiterials-necessary to manufacture a

As Brave Americans DieThe appointment of a special board-of

inquiry to investigate the Japanese attackupon Pearl Harbor, with the idea of fixingresponsibility for any negligence that maybe disclosed, suggests other inquiries.

The bravery of fewer than 400 Ma-rines, in resisting Japanese assaults uponWake Island, discloses that this force, en-tirely inadequate to meet attacks, wasrather poorly provided with fighting tools.

Would it be too much to expect someinquiry into the causes for this tragic situ-ation, which also existed at Guam? Thepeople of the United States, the most pow-erful nation on earth, find their defenderspounded to pieces by superior Japaneseforces throughout the Pacific area. Theymay wonder why.

Certainly, it is absurd that a country aspowerful as the United States seems sohelpless in combating Japanese attacks.Our defenses could have been secure andso powerful as to discourage Japan fromthe treacherous assault that claimed thelives of nearly 3,000 officers and men atPearl Harbor.

Why not officially inquire into thestrange apathy of a great nation in the faceof steadily increasing danger? Why notdiscover the sources of the strongly organ-ized pacifist sentiment that strangely af-fected Congressmen when they were askedto vote for an increased Navy, improvedisland defenses and a modernization ofour Army?

The idea that we could have peace, byasking for it, was vigorously promoted inthe nation by"* various individuals and or-ganization, some acting in the name of reli-gion. This propaganda left America un-prepared because too many Congressmenwere sap-headed enough to believe that

the votes" were to be gotten that way.Foreign propaganda may have affected

the national morale but it has not hurt usnear as much as the twaddle put out by thehalf-baked lunatic fringe, that t ried toteach us the way to get peace was to talkabout it. Somebody ought to investigatethis form of pacifist insanity in order toprotect the nations from similar -propa-ganda when the present war has been won.

Meanwhile, as reports from the Pacificarea tell us of additional Americans, deadin defense of the nation which put them inplaces of unnecessary danger, let's remem-ber that we are, in part, responsible fortheir sacrifice. We listened, or sat idlyby, in the years of the past, while incom-petents, nimcompoops and mush-headedidealists talked about peace by proclama-tion and the saving of money to be effectedby cutting appropriations for the Navy,the Army, the Air Corps, the Marines andthe Coast Guard.

City, for example, and Chicago,Kansas City, Boston, the Miamisand New Orleans, despondent citi-zens would sight for a "Dewey" oftheir own to rip into the filthygangs and cut them down. He wasthreatened often but never gulped,and his achievement is the greaterin view of the fact that he had tofight Tammany,as a Republican,which meant that the pious but in-tensely political and tricky NewDeal was jealous of every victorythat he won for the people and de-cency. A horse for work, an ener-gizing and encouraging captain, agreat investigator, no pig forpraise, Dewey always was generous

| with personal credit to the assist-j ants in whom he liberally delegatedimportant assignments and respon-sibility. His team developed a vastintimate acquaintance with crooksof all degrees and their methodsand relationships. Degraded in thepast by treachery to the people, lowpolitical venality and plain, dumbstupidity, the plant which he tookover four years ago is now unques-tionably the most efficient investi-gating and prosecuting agency inthe country excepting not even thefederal Department of Justice andthe FBI.

Dewey was so badly treated po-litically by Fiorello La Guardia,his superior only in showmanshipand his equal in none of the ad-mirable qualities, that his aid toLa Guardia in the Mayor's recentcampaign for re-election became a

WASHINGTON, D. C—In thefirst World War it took the Alliesthree years, during which manytragic blunders were committed, torealize the necessity of having aunified command.

At the outset of this war theAllies have realized the enormousadvantages which the Axis powershave derived from a unified strate-gic plan. German and Japanesemoves, -whether in the Atlantic orin the Pacific, whether in Europeor in Asia, have been coordinatedand synchronized, and undoubtedlyconstitute part and parcel of onemaster strategic plan for worldconquest.

It is good news at this earlystage of the second World War thecapitals of the major Allied powers

-Washington, London, Moscowand Chungking—are in favor ofcreating a Supreme War Councilto direct and execute Allied strat-egy against the Axis. i

Just as there was a monstrousFifth Column in Hawaii which con-tributed to the Pearl Harbor dis-aster, so is there a Fifth Columnoperating in the United States to-day. Some of these agents seekmilitary secrets; others attemptsabotage. The most dangerous,however, are those who are work-ing on the mentality of Americanswith the purpose of dividing them.Their task is to spread "news" and"opinions" wherever they can.'Their "casual" remarks usually runas follows: "American is fightingRussia's war." "Britain cannot winthe war." "Stalin has made a dealwith Hitler and Japan," etc., etc.

Many spies attach themselves tonative movements as did LauraIngalls, the famous aviatrix, whowas recently arrested by the FBI.The Ingalls woman was a speakerfor the America First Committee.This does not mean that the Amer-

ica Firsters were foreign agents,tout it does prove that a Germanagent wormed her way into anAmerican organization for obviousreasons. Many others are nowspreading their poison in the sameway. The only method of com-batting these traitors is to chal-lenge their statements and lookinto their everyday activities.

According to the American Busi-nessmen's Research Foundation, aprohibition group, beverage alcoholmay have played its part in thetragic events at Honolulu on De-cember 17th. The assertion thatsome of the 235 Japanese saloonkeepers might have advised theJapanese Government that Sundaymorning was an ideal time for anattack because of certain percent-age of our naval and military per-sonnel might not be fit for immedi-ate service, sounds rather naive.But this may be only the first shotin the battle for the return of the"noble experiment."

A new call to arms was soundedby Chief of Staff of the ChineseArmy, General Ho Ying-chin, onFriday. Speaking to the nation overthe radio, he called upon all thoseof military age to enlist. He ap-pealed to puppet troops (Chinese inJapanese-conquered territory) todefect from the enemy ranks. Hecalled upon the inhabitants in theseareas to do their utmost to frus-trate Japanese attempts to exploitresources. "We will endeavor tosecure the initiative," he said, "andwill ,in concert with the Allied arm-ies, deal crushing iblows on ourcommon enemy, Japan."

The nest day, 10,000 puppettroops in Honan Province turnedon their Japanese employers, killedand wounded 1,000 Japanese, in-cluding ten officers, dynamited asection of two railways and de-stroyed communication lines!

conspicuous return of good forevil. La Guardia, a political mon-'grel, predominantly opportunistbut with traits of Socialism, hadindicated that he. would supportDewey for Governor against Her-bert Lehman in 1938. Instead, hesupported Lehman as a New Dealmachine candidate and Dewey wasbeaten, .but Dewey nevertheless notmerely 'indorsed La Guardia butfought for him against O'Dwyer.It was a tough choice. La Guardia,in his years in office, had inevitablyemphasized his vulgar irascibility,his bullying intolerance and his in-ability to co-operate even with hisown appointees, but Dewey hadonly Tammany for an alternative,so he gamely went down the linefor a man who deserved only hiscontempt. La Guardia's dollar-honesty or indifference to personalgraft was his strongest sellingpoint, but Dewey is equally incor-ruptible and undoubtedly would ex-cel La Guardia in any public office.

* * *

That Dewey's ability should bewasted now merely because he stillhas legitimate political ambitionsis a sad state of affairs in a coun-try at war and infested with ene-mies at home. It was Dewey's of-fice that convicted Fritz Kuhn ofthe Nazi Anti-American Bund andhe has the background informa-tion, the connections and the intel-ligence of a great detective. His

! knowledge does not end at theboundaries of Manhattan or NewYork County but follows the rami-fications of conspiracies throughoutthe country and into other lands,but he is a Republican, not a So-cialist or Communist, and his ambi-tion to be President one day un-doubtedly keeps alive, so it wouldbe difficult to make full use of hisability.

'New York owes Dewey much, butthe rest of the country can thankhim too for proving that the rottenpolitician and pi-edatory unioneermay still he struck down by Con-stitutional means, without violentrevolution, by a man of honestcourage, intelligence and ability.

By H. S. Sims Jr.REVIEW OF THE WAR FOR

THE YEAR 1941

When the year 1940 came to aclose, the democracies, Englandand China, were in the pit of de-spair." For during that year theAxis nations had met with as-tounding successes.

The British Navy had beenforced to withdraw from Norwayand thus give the Nazis full con-trol of this Scandinavian country;German armies overran Belgiumand Holland; France was crushedand the English armies left theContinent by way of Dunkerque.England was ravished from the airwith such fierceness that Churchillpromised the world that if Eng-land should fall "our empire be-yond the seas would carry on thestruggle until, in God's good time,the New World, with all its powerand might, steps forth in the res-cue and liberation of the Old."

During the first months of theyear 1941 the war continued to gothe Axis way. England's positionbecomes even worse. In fact, theNazis were gradually severingEngland's lifeline, supplies acrossthe Atlantic. In the Spring ofthis year English shipping losseswere more than twice as great asthe combined building capacity ofboth Great Britain and the UnitedStates. In other words, Germanywas sinking two ships for everyone that we built.

Germany also began her Balkancampaign during the Spring- of1941. In fact, the first Nazi mili-tary blitz struck Bulgaria on thefirst of March with the result ofintimidating the Government atSofia to join the Axis. In the samemonth, the Yukoslav Governmentalso gave in to the intense Axispressure.

Yankees named outstandingteam of the year in poll.

But the people of Yugoslaviarallied and overthrew the Govern-ment that had betrayed them, andthus a German invasion began atdawn on the first Sunday of April.In less than a week the mightyGerman Army had reached Salon-ika and the heroic Greeks weretrapped.

Three weeks after the conquestof Greece, Hitler spectacularlycaptured Crete with the supportof a strong and effective air arm.Then, suddenly, the battle of Af-rica changed.

German armored units rein-forced the battered Italian divi-sions and General Wavell waspushed back to the Egyptian bor-der. This gave the Axis successon all fronts and it was evidentthat Hitler was preparing for a bigdrive. Logically, it seempd thatthe British Isles would be invadedin i an all-out attack.

Finally, Hitler broke the sus-pense with a speech to • the Ger-man people in which he told themthat again he was putting the fateof the German people in the nandsof the soldiers; the invasion ofRussia had begun.

On December 7th, when theAxis were suffering major de-feats on two battlefronts and mili-tary experts were pondering justwhere Hitler would move next,Japan unleashed savage treacheryin a surprise attack on Pearl Har-bor. This brought the UnitedStates and all of the countries ofCentral America into what hadbecome truly a world war of thefirst magnitude.

The year ended with Japan ap-parently successful in all her ini-tial conquests, and with PrimeMinister Churchill and PresidentRoosevelt planning a defensivewar for the year 1942.

NEW YORK —"In Time ToCome," the new play about Wood-drow Wilson by Howard Koch andJohn Huston, opened at the Mans-field Theatre, 47th Street, Westof Broadway, New York City, onDecember 26, Otto Preminger,producer and director of the dra-ma, announced today. RichardGaines, who plays the war-timepresident, heads a brilliant cast oftwenty-five.

"In Time To Come" is con-cerned primarily with Wilson'ssecond term in office, and his vali-ant efforts to work out a lasting-peace at the end of the first WorldWar. Told simply, but with tre-mendous dramatic power, it por-trays the events of those fatefulyears, and by pointing out thefailures in the past, shows the pit-falls to be avoided in the peacewhich will some day be made atthe end of the present war.

Richard Gaines, who plays Wil-son, appeared before as a Presi-dent of the United States, in thetitle role of "Abe Lincoln in Illi-nois" during the latter half of itsNew York run and subsequenttour. In addition to Gaines, thecast includes William Harrigan asTumulty, Wilson's close friend andadvisor. Harrigan, who, oddly,enough is a close friend of thereal Tumulty, was last seen withWalter Huston in "A Passenger toBali."

TRENTON — State HighwayCommissioner E.-Donald Sterner i.sorganizing the maintenance divi-sion of the State Highway Depart-ment for an "all out" effort in theevent of any emergencies on stateroutes and bridges arising fromsabotage or enemy bombings.

"With, the greatest concentra-tion of the nation's vita! defense1

industries, airplane factories andshipyards within our boundaries,"said Commissioner Sterner, "plusthe fast that New Jersey is strateg-ically located 'between New Yorkand Philadelphia, the two largestcities along the North Atlantic sea-board, we cannot risk any delays intraffic movement over our StateHighway System.

Planned to minimize transporta-tion delays at any time during thewar period, the program mappedout by Commissioner Sterner, incooperation with State HighwayEngineer James Logan and Main-tenance Division SuperintendentAlex W. Muir, requires among oth-er things the availability of allmaintenance employes for 24 hoursduty during emergencies.

iSpecial equipment for the ser-vicing of machines is now beingassembled at the Fernwood StateEquipment Service Station nearhere. An independent power sta-tion, in the event the regular elect-rical service is cut off, is being in-stalled at Fernwood to assure pow-er and light at all times at theemergency headquarters.

Lights For BridgesAcetylene outfits and power

saws, operated by portable aircompressors, are being obtained toperform extraordinary duties inthe extent of curtailment of elec-tricity during "blackouts" anddamage to bridges or roads. Fivehundred feet of standard bridgetimbers will be stored for the pur-pose of temporarily spanning anystream in the event a bridge isdamaged.

As a safeguard against sabotage,Commissioner Sterner has author-ized the installation of lighting un-derneath various key bridges onthe State Highway System. Thisis designed to prevent saboteursfrom carrying out their plans ofdestruction under the cover ofdarkness.

"Our organization wil] be cap-able of working day and night con-tinuously to cope with any situ-ation," said Commissioner Sterner.

"There must be no delay in high-way transportation within NewJersey. Its vital importance toour national defense is best illu-

strated by the steady stream ofmodern mechanized army divisionsalready rolling across our high-ways.

"Furthermore, we must guaran-tee the uninterrupted passage ofdefense industry workers and thehuge fleets of trucks carrying de-fense materials and'finished products. These industries and trucksare working on a 24 hour basis.We must 'keep 'em rolling'."

Glassed Fruits And VegetablesTaken Out Of Luxury Category

Pine fruitt and vegetables glassedin alitrdi" ive containers have, untilrceontly, been confined to a fewi-o-c;illcd exclusive and limited pre-mium products in expensive packs--oul oT reach of the averageliou^i'vuiVs- poeketbook.

Today, thanks to modern scienceami the infenuity of the world'sforemost packing and packagingfi^inpeih. more than a SCOTS ofthe fin«».»t quality fruits and vege-1-ibl«»* obtainable are available inall iar1i\c and economical glasscontainer!) — within the budget ofany humt maker.

One largo packing company, withhundqvtn ti>rs in California, recent-ly announced the introduction oftwenty-two varieties of fruitsand vegetables—everything from•whole, unpeeled Blenheim apricotsto clioii'e pumpkin—all neatlyglassed in - individual lightweightcontainers.

Advantages of glassing are many.It lias long been considered anideal container by housewives whopreserve at home. Glass is truth-ful.' The contents of a glass con-tainer are completely visible. Notonly can the shopper be sure thefood is of the highest quality but,as in the case of vegetables, par-ticularly, she can see at a glancewhether-the product is,of the rightsize or the right cut for her par-ticular requirements.

The new fruit and vegetablecontainers, which are made of dura-glas, a new technique in glass pro-duction, are not only light ofweight but are particularly dur-able.

Introduction of the glass con-tainers at a price within reach ofeveryone comes as the result oflong study and research. Glassedfood -is now available to everyhousewife.

Caring For TKe HairA good exercise for the care of

Keep Crystal ClearFine crystal should be kept in

How's Your Health?By The Medico

An Old Fashioned Remedyi I was a little girl I used

\ to see the dusky denizens of theI plantation treating boils by the ap-

plication cf turpentine, soap plas-ters. They told me that "it drawed"em to a haiil and made em git well."Some of these plasters were mixedwith blown sugar and •sjere chang-ed daily until the boils burst andpmyitii'd tnomselves, or were readyto bo opened.

During the years many differentremedies r,;rve been tried. Vari-ous foods have been recommended,particularly those that are highin Vitavin content, such as freshfruits a*H vegetables, includinggreen3, carrots, onions, garlic, etetora. and all kinds of fruits, es-ecialiy oranges and tomatoes.

Yeast. ha° been widely advertisedfilso. All of these things are help-ful. But for local treatment weare informed by Doctor H. vonBaeyur of Munich Germany, thatsoar) is very effective in suppressingor preventing boils' that are jusfccommenrrnf?. Older boils are alsobenefit ;efl thereby, and come to ahead and discharge more quickly,or eUo are opened more easily bythe application of a knife.

"A thin disc of soap about thesize of the -thumb nail is placedover the boil and help in place byadhesive plaster. Any kind of toi-let soap may be used."

Dr. Von Baeyer say» that itchingand torsion from swelling1 are re-lieved by He soap plaster in ashort time. He thinks that the soapopens up the p«a«s of the skin -Qrathas last some of its lime or cal-riant. The.- alkali in the soapdoubtless helps to reduee the in-fiarrmiion. S&ap is also a verygood disinfected.

It is. very Interesting to find thatan old remedy like soap for boilsjs in use in a medical center suchas Munich, Germany1.

When one is subject -to boils itis •well to see that ths intestinal

'•it ad JS cleared out by daily evacua-tions.

The principal germs that «auseboils arr s-tapyhfoeocci. They findan entranrv.1 into the broken skin«-hit;h is usually caused by the[rubDinar of she clothing. Favorite

are the back of the neckis ivi"itated by constant fric-

;ion from the collar- The arm pitsre Bubjpoi to fcoils which are usu-lly very painful.

Scratching with the finger nails,

or digging into the ears with hairpins, or ottier instruments, fre-quently carry gfoms into the tis-sues and cause boils.

Carbuncles have several open-ings, and do not discharge so read-ily as'do boils. The cores are usu-ally more solid and are removedwith more difficulty. The skin isdark red, hard and has a shiningappearance. In a week or tendays they begin to discharge.

In the aged, carbuncles may bevery serious, even fatal, fortheir tissues do not recuperate veryreadily owing to the sluggish cir-culation.

Poultices made of bread or mushwere once a popular method oftreatment but they are prone tocause more infection in the pai'ts,for the warm, moist surface is con-ductive to the growth of bacteria.However, hot applications, partic-ularly eompresses wrung <out of hotwater, are both soothing and heal-ing, and "is one of the best of treat-ments.

The diabetic is subject to boils andfinds it necessary to keep his skinclean, at all times and to takespecial care of his general health.

So YouCan't Sleep?

But You Can, If You TryReal Hard!

With daily headlines increasingthe spectre of sleepless nightsahead, J. P. McEvoy, the well-known writer, reveals in the Janu-ary Readei-'s Digest how he dis-covered that you can sleep—if youwant to. His is a simple formula,but one that he found completelysuccessful in'routing insomnia.

Banishing worries upon going tobed, over-simple though it maysound, is an important factor inthe process, says McEvoy, and itan be done by concentrating on

nothing- but going to sleep. Equallyimportant to-him is the techniqueof "relaxing progressively." Thistechnique involves concentratedthought of relaxation, progressingfrom one part of the anatomy toanother. "Think first of the mus-cles of your scalp, the top of yourhead, relax those muscles. Nowconcentrate on the muscles of yourforehead. Feel the muscles sag.Now your eyelids. Relax them.Now the muscles of your face. Letthe muscles go. Your jaws—letthem sag." And so on down tothe toes. "With diligent practiceyou will become able to put your-'self to sleep within 'five minuteswhenever you wish."

The formula's magic is said tolie in the fact that "while you areconsciously thinking of relaxingach part of your body you are not

thinking about your troubles."

SPORTS ECHOESBy Elmer (Steve) Vecsey

National League Flag Race To Be Tight In '42The National League pennant race in 1942 should

be just as bitterly contested and even more interestingthan the Card-Dodger duel in. 1941. Instead of two,there'll be at least three and maybe four main pen-nant contenders in the senior circuit this year.

Don't make the fatal mistake of omitting theCincinnati Reds when you're figuring on the '42 win-ner. If McKeehnie finds a few sluggers or if some ofhis hitters, find themselves, the Eeds will be plentyhard to stop after they get rolling. And they're boundto get rolling some time or other with a flock of guysanswering to such names as Walters, Riddle, VanderMeer, Derringer, Thompson, etc.

A glance back at the twirling records for 1941reveals a gloomy future for Redleg foes. There'sElmer, the Riddle, who set down the opposition in '41with an earned run mark of a mere .224. Then there'sWalters and Vander Meer, each with a record of .283,fourth best in the league.

Thus, out of the first five hurlers in the NationalLeague, three are found on Cincinnati's payroll. Ifthat's,not an ill omen, then Brooklyn or St. Louismight: breeze in—but they won't. All McKeehnieneeds for his third pennant in four years in a hittingball club—as good as any in the league.

Cards-And Dodgers Both Able To Outhit RedsBut he hasn't got it and knows it. Brooklyn and

St. Louis (if the Cards don't sell the rest of their starsbefore you read this) both can boast much more pow-erful hitting teams. Both also, possess effective pitch-ing staffs, but unless "the situation changes, therewon't be any club in the National League in '42 witha better staff than the Reds.

Of course, it's possible that the Red twirlingstaff will collapse—just as is true concerning Brook-lyn and St. Louis. But Red hitting can't collapse fur-ther and Brooklyn's or St. Louis' hitters may run intoa slump (as the Cards did in September of last year.)

The Giants will undoubtedly be stronger—justhow much stronger no one can tell, but not strongenough to beat out the Big Three—not this year, atleast. Final conclusion: Reds—pitching, excellent;hitting improved; first-class chance. Dodgers—pitch-ing, excellent (Brooklyn's pitching staff as a wholewas No. 1 in the league last year) ; hitting, still pow-erful (but maybe due for slump) ; nevertheless a goodchance to repeat. Cards—pitching, excellent, butsome '41 stars may be dimmer; hitting-, powerful, asusual, if too many sluggers haven't been sold; goodchance if Lady Luck comes along.

No man knows what lies ahead, what tests of courageand endurance may confront us tomorrow. No mancan predict the defeats and victories; but every mancan be willing and ready.

A way of life is at stake. It's a way that has per-mitted American individuals and industries to becomegreat. It is based upon humanity and loyalty to free-dom's code. It is worth dying for, and without it, nocause is worth living for. It demands strength andcharacter and ungrudging sacrifice.

The industrial and business life of New Jersey hasplayed a major part in American peace-time economy.It will be called upon to play a greater part in the hoursahead—and it will be found ready. Public Servicepledges itself to the common cause, without reserva-tion and without limit. Its great electric, gas, andtransportation facilities will be devoted to insuring theultimate victory and the peace to follow.
