To Carmen ZulloWOODBRIDGE—The appoint-

ment of Harry Anderson, of Fords,to the police force, a virtual cer-tainty over the week-end, failed tomaterialize at Township meetingMonday night. A recess that con-tinued for an" hour and twentyminutes and was devoted to theAnderson matter, was fruitless insettling the question as to whetherthe plan would be legal.

According to several members ofthe Township committtee, "Mr.Anderson is pushing 40" and al-though the Township ordinancesets the age limit at 40, the state'"igislatuie recently passed a billplacing the maximum age for pros-pective policemen at 35. Town-ship Attorney Leon E. McElroy, itis understood, advised the commit-tee the state law supersedes andtherefore Mr, Anderson's appoint-ment would be illegal.

Unable To Locate Any Clues Leading To CriminalS WOODBRIDGE—With four unsolved house robber-

ies on the police records, local authorities are keeping aclose watch on the residential districts of the Township.

Captain John Egan and Detective Sergeant GeorgeBalint, who have been working on the robberies, have fail-ed to uncover any definite clues on the identity of the thiefor thieves, who were careful not toleave anything behind them thatmight identify them.

With the police spreading a vir-tual dragnet around the Town-ship there were no new robber-ies reported this week, althoughneighboring communities have ex-perienced several new breakingand entering cases. Some of theauthorities are of the opinion.thatthe thief may be an out-of-townresident who "spotted" the housesand knew there was no one home,before he entered them.

Chief of Police George E-Keating made the request todaythat residents of the Townshipwho expect to be away over week-ends or any appreciable length oftime notify police headquarters s<>that a close watch can be kepton their homes.

JOHNSON'SBAR PLEAHITSSNAGBig Highway Restaurant

Plan To Sell LiquorOpposed By B. & L.

SITUATION!^ STUDIEDCompany Offers To Buy Li-

cense Of Salvia To Over-come Legal Obstacle

WOODBRIDGE—The effortsof the Gibralter Corporation ofRoute 29 and Loree Avenue, op-erators of the Howard JohnsonRestaurant, to secure a- liquor li-cense, have hit another snag.

The Township Committee re-cently denied the corporation aliquor license due to the fact thatthe maximum number of permitsavailable under the Township or-dinance, had been exhausted andbecause the state law has estab-lished a five year residence re-quirement.

The operators said that they ap-pealed to D. Frederick Burnett,Alcoholic Beverage Control Com-missioner, and received the opin-ion that the five year requirementdid not apply to them.

As its next step in securing alicense, the corporation made ar-rangements with Theresa Salvia,of Rahway Avenue, to purchaseher license if the Township Com-mitee would approve the trans-fer. A protest was received from•the Port Reading Building andLoan Association, mortgagee ofthe Salvia property, which de-clared that there was $G00 in backtaxes due on the premises. It re-quested that the transfer be helduntil the taxes were paiii.

Writes To CommitteeThe Building and Loan wrote to

the committee as follows:"If the transfer of the license

is made and the back taxes ow-ing the Township are not satisfiedby the mortgagor, Salvia, the ar-rearages will become a severe bur-den to our association. Our equityas mortgagee of this property isconsiderable, even if the taxesowing are satisfied, as the gener-al design and construction of thebuilding is such that the Associa-tion will have an expensive prob-lem."

The matter was referred to thecommittee as a whole for a deci-sion, but the opinion has been giv-en that the Township cannot re-fuse the permit on the associa-tion's request as the municipalityhas no right to act as a collectionagency.

78 Year Old Member Of One Of Town's Old FamiliesCalmly Awaits Trial For Killing His Son-In-Law

Frequent Social Visitor OfPolice Chief Stoic AsHe Confesses Crime

WOODBRIDGE — When 78-year-old William Carpenter, a dig-nified member of one of the bestknown families in WoodbridgeTownship, walked into police head-quarters Monday morning beforenine o'clock and informed Chief ofPolice George E. Keating that hehad just shot and killed his son-in-law, Clinton Moffat, 46, in hi?home on Randolph Avenue. Av-enel with two blasts of a double-barrel shot gun, one would hardlybelieve that he had just shot andkilled a man. He was calm, cooland collected and showed no emo-tion whatsoever.

Carpenter had been in the habitof dropping into headquarters andjoking—sometimes asking if thelock-up was ready for him—so thatwhen he walked into the Chief'soffice and said: "I have come togive myself up," Chief Keating atfirst did not take him very serions-

Will?" the Chief asked jokingly.• f have ynst shot my son-in-

that this was no joke."Is he dead?" he asked.

Before listening to Carpenter'sstory, Sergeant George Balint wasdispatched to the house.

Although t h e disagreementwhich started the night before themurder over the purchase of shellsby Moffatt's fourteen-year-old sonDouglas, a freshman in WoodbridgiHigh School, the authorities believe that the shooting was the resuit of a series of petty quarrelswhich built Tip, in the mind of theold man, to great proportions.

Arthur Giesing, chairman incharge of the tag day, in appealingto the Legion units to aid in theworthy .venture said "People dono't realize that over one thou-sand books circulate each weekfrom this library and that most ofthe borrowers are our children.Not a penny of local tax money iscontributed to the support of thelibrary.

Because of the extensive bene-fits which will come to the Fordsarea when the library is establish-ed, it is urged that as many aspossible make their contributionsat an early date to hasten comple-tion.

and Carteret High Schools willmeet on the gridiron—not in apost season game, but on Novem-ber 16, 1940.

The football date was tempor-arily agreed upon this week, asthe result of this newspaper's pro-posal to re-establish relationshipbetween the two institutions.

Arrangements for a post sea-son contest, which was to havebeen played tomorrow, wore haltedover the week-end. Basketballcoaches at both schools suddenlyrealized that a dilated campaignon the gridiron might prove dis-astrous to their respective pro-gram.

Hurried consultations betweenfootball and basketball tutors,Saturday and Sunday, terminatedin the warping: of last week's pro-posed project.

It was pointed out that Wood-bridge opens its court season De-cember ID and Carteret's schedulegets under way a few days later.Because of this early start, bas-ketball-playing members of the twofootball squads were summoned toreport for daily practice- sessions.Another week of gridiron drillswould have undermined basketballpossibilities.

Football fans here and ,in Car-teret displayed great enthusiasmtoward the post season proposaland were vastly disappointed whenit was learned this year's added at-traction was called oIF:

All doubt for nort year'* meet-ing of the two schools on the grid-iron was dismissed Monday nightwhen the Athletic Committee of(.he township school board met andunanimously voted to includeCartiTol on the 1940 footballschedule.

Kovacs, 19, of 93 New Street, a member of the Woodbridge| High School freshman football team, fractured his leg in a practicescrimmage held by the freihmen teams at the Legion Stadium onOctober 24.

If you recall—and that's more than school authorities desire—the injured lad has turned from football player to an ordinary foot-ball. He s been booted around almost as much as the pigskin used bythe Barrons during the past gridiron season.

Kovacs lives with his mother, a brother and two sisters in humblecircumstances. The family is on the township relief rolls.

When the boy was first ordered released from the hospital onNovember 14, the medical fee was $139.50. The mother pleaded with

a practice followed in otheryears, and with the aproval ofD. Frederick Burnett, Com-missioner of the Department ofAlcoholic Beverage Control,Taverns in the Township willbe open after the legal closinghour on New Year's Eve.

Commissioner Burnett re-cently stated that he is "will-ing to go along with calling allwraps off on New Year's whenNew Year's falls on a weekday. But I recommend thatyou niake no extension forChristmas, whether it comes ona weekday, or a Sunday, after !3:00 A. M., or for New Year'safter 5:00 A. M., when NewYear's falls on a Sunday." Thisyear New Year's Day comes ona Monday and as Sunday sell-ing is allowed by ordinance inthe Township, tavern keepershave nothing to worry aboutand New Year's revelers will beable to make merry until thewee hours of the morning.

However, no extension inclosing time will be made forChristmas Eve. Chief of Po-lice Keating said today.

school officials not to bring herson home until his leg was com-pletely mended. Their New Streethome, lacking heat, did not havesuitable facilities to give Josephproper care.

Mrs. Kovacs' appeal went un-heeded. The school board's Ath-letic Committee offered the moth-er a dollar a day for three weeksto care for the boy. The distress-ed woman carried her pleadingsto the Township relief office. Herson was immediately returned tothe hospital.

It was at this stage, that thisnewspaper discovered the shroud-ed accident. The investigationwhich followed disclosed the Ath-letic Committee's refusal to ob-ligate itself beyond the $139.50—the cost for the first four weeks.

This newspaper pointed outthat another §75 would more thancover the additional three weeksnecessary for Kovacs to remain inthe hospital. The suggestion was"no go" with school officials.

At a meeting#of the committeeMonday night, the incident wasdiseiissed thoroughly. The board

•ifl-.I it was not legally obligated, iu pay the bill—This in view ofthe fact the committee learnedat the session that the additionalcost would be less than $35—not$75 as stated in this^ paper lastFriday. The committee, for the

! princely sum of $35, prefers to| stand on its legal rights.

In the meantime the commun-ity still has its vexing problem.Who'll pay Kovacs' hospital bill?Will the township relief depart-ment—which means the taxpayers—get it up, or will the ransomcome from the proper body—theAthletic Committee?

would be on the police force long:before this, because he "had beenpromised the job." Some of themeven went so far as to state that"Anderson should have been ap-pointed when Frank Szallar gotthe job."

In the meantime the police de-partment is awaiting the outcomeof the controversy and it appearsto be definite that the departmentas a whole will fight any attempt toplace Mr. Anderson on the pen-sion list. As one spokesman said:

"It is not that wo have anythingagainst Mr. Anderson personallybut appointing- a i'orty-year-oidman to the police force establishesa dangerous precedent. Most ofus joined the department in ourtwenties or early thirties and wehave been paying into the pensionfund since."

| While all this was taking place.I the Third Ward Republican execu-| tive committee met at the TownI Hall and demanded that Carmen' Zullo, of Port Reading, be consid-ered if Mr. Anderson received anappointment. Mr. Zullo, who alsois over the maximum age require-ment, is at present overseer ofthe poor.

nally his. He turned the deed overto the Moffatts several months ago.

Daughter On JuryAccording: to Carpenter, the last

quarrel started "wht'ii Douglas soldhis father some shells for twenty-five cents. Carpenter told the boythat his father should have paidhim forty cents. An argument en-sued, but Mrs. Moffatt intervenedand stopped it. The nextmorning Mrs. Moffatt went toNew Brunswick where she wascalled on jury duty and Douglasremained in bed. Carpenter wentout to the barn, returned to thehouse and had the gun on his lap,preparing, he said, to go hunting.The argument "between the two jmen started all over again ami '•Carpenter, becoming enraged, shot .him with the gun. As Moffatt ;wheeled around. Carpenter shot •him again, according to the hitter's ,signed confession. Douglas did not |know his father was dead untilawakened by Sergeant Balint. Thegun was fired so close to Moffattthat the report was muffled.

The Carpenter family is wellknown in the Township. Bell Car-penter, one of William's brothers.

wus a blacksmith and owner andtrainer of horses in the old days.Hi> had his stables in back of theold St. George Hotel which stoodwhere the Cloverleiii' Cemetery islocated now. His name was syn-onymous with harness racing. BellCarpenter is still training horsesin Freehold and is also in the busi-ness of transporting show horses.

Another Brother, 84Dave Carpenter, another brother,

now S-l years old and residing inPoint Pleasant at present, owneda livery stable and coach shop. Hebuilt and painted coaches.

Will Carpenter, who is now inthe county jail awaiting the ac-tion of the grand jury on a mur-der charge, was a farmer and tilledthe land that is now the automobilerace track, off Freeman Street andSt. George's Avenue. The farm-ing of that land resulted in a lawsuit that started in 1897 and con-tinued until eight or nine yearsago—with Carpenter and theBrnwn family appearing in everycourt, in the state.

It appears that the race trackproperty was origina.ll>' owned bythe Brown family and that the oldGardner family also had an inter-est in it. In some manner, the deedwas turned over to Carpenter withthe understanding (according., to

court records) that he was to iturn it. When the time cameCarpenter failed to return the deftand court action started. First oneside would win then the other, un-til finally B. W. Vogel, former re-corder, representing the Browns,took the matter to the Court ofErrors and Appeals and the latterwon out. The case became the "talkof Woodbridge" from time to timeand old-timers say that it caused abitter feud between the Browns,the Gardners and the Carpenters.

Originated in BostonThe Carpenters were origina

English, coming to Boston fgenerations ago. They finallytied in Woodbridge. Will Carptter was born during the Civil Warin 1862. His father was postmas-ter here dining President Cleve-land's administration. Will ran forTowship Committee from theThird Ward years ago but was de-feated. He has five sisters andtwo brothers still living ranging inage from GS to 84.

FORUM THEATERMetuchen theatre-goers will have

their first chance to see the "find— of the year" in Movieland when*j John Holden appears at the For-~, um theatre this Sunday, Monday

an4 Tuesday, December 10, 11 and12 in "Golden Boy". Assisted bysuch luminaries as Barbara Stan-

H wyck and Adolph Menjou, the* young Mv. Holden ably demon-

strates that his 'build-up" was notill-founded and that Hollywood'sleading men have a new competi-tor to deal with. The story of"Golden Boy," which was a suc-cessful Broadway play only a shorttime ago, deals with the younghero who had two distinctly dif-ferent talents, violin playing andjii'ixe fightiug. The exploitation ofhis first-cuffing ability is the taskof Lt Stanwyck and the shady Mr.Menjou. It's one of the yearwinners!

Another successful screen de-but occurs at the Forum on Wed-nesday and Thursday when GloriaJean, a new competitor of DeannaDurbin and Judy Garland in thesinging and acting world, is pre-sented in her first picture 'TheUnderpup." Capacity audiences atthe Steel Pier premiere in AtlanticCity leaves little doubt that theyouthful Miss Jean is a thorough-bred entertainer in every sense ofthe word.

A timely war feature, "ThunderAfloat," with Wallace Beery in the

• leading role is next Friday and- Saturday's attraction. The sincere

message of this blood and thunderdrama is too obvious to miss and iscertainly the first of a long ser-ies of similar films which Holly-wood will undoubtedly be forcedto produce by public demand.

A Worthy CampaignWe hardly think it is necessary for us to

express our high admiration of the projectlaunched by the Fords Woman's Club toprovide full library facilities for the com-munity, and the fact that it is mentionedhere is merely to call the movement to theattention of as wide an audience as possi-ble.

Undoubtedly, there is no more worthy a- cause than this one and the fact that the~" Fords club is willing to undertake it is am-- pie proof of its deep sense of civic interest.-• Ready response to the campaign for fundsZ to equip and stock tho library is already" widely indicated, and we trust all the resi-•• dents of Fords and the surrounding areasr will accept the drive as an opportunity for.".them to help build the cultural life of the" community.

• * Time To Take StockWe believe the financial wizards in

- charge of the funds earned by high school-. athletic contests will And scant apprecia-ble tion for their parsimonious policy whichT shirks responsibility for paying the full hos-'„ pital expenses of a schoolboy injured in a~ football game.

No-one, we think, will agree with the- thesis that the training and exploits of1 high school athletes is nothing more thanT a slick racket whose objective is to pile up~ a big bank balance. To our mind, all money- earned by the students belongs to the stu-- dents and we simply can't conceive of one~ of them demanding that young Joe Kovacst should be removed from the comparativeX comfort of a hospital bed to the rigors of~ a household on relief in order to save a few" dollars for t)he athletic fund.i- It would take a Philadelphia lawyer to£ fathom the mental processes of those in~ charge of the money who determined other-~ wise. First of all, the money is not their's.~ Secondly, they have neither a moral nor a

legal claim on one penny of it. Thirdly,we understand that although they deemedit extravagant to provide adequate treat-ment for Joe Kovacs they are perfectlywilling to grant honorariums of a few hun-dred dollars to faculty members who as-sisted in football coaching.

The Board of Directors at the highschool, \ve think, is making a horriblemistake in not meticulously avoiding any•evidence of prostituting the young athleteswho are earning all the money under theRed and Black colors. Furthermore, we•feel their cryptic, contradictory stories oftheir administration does little to instill con-fidence in the public at large.

It is high time they took stock.

of some university or hospital, but with theaid of industry.

Why is this impoilant?The answer is not obscure. The im-

portant point is the fact that the awardrecognizes a trend of the times: that inthose nations which have advanced the far-thest towards better living, industry hastaken the lead in promoting industrial re-search.

Because America has far and away ledall the other countries of the world in thisrespect, and because it is prepared today toachieve further peacetime progress in thesame direction, it is only natural that theNobel Prize award to a leader of industrialresearch should have significance for allAmericans.

i The Law and LoveWe know nothing about the love life of

George Lowther and Eiften Herrick, whoseaffair was aired in court last week in NewYork, but we must salute the gentleman forhis courage in going to court for the rightto see the lady of his love.

It seems, for some reason, that Eileen'sfather is "against" George and determinedthat the young couple shall not see eachother. Hence the swain takes to. the lawand by means of the .habeas corpus has thebody of his beloved brought into court.

In a "compromise" it was agreed thatthe young woman should remain for tendays in a hospital and after that be allowedto sea George and marry him, if she wishes.This decision is a victory for the law and forlove and the law is honored by having hadsomething to do with the solution ofGeorge's problem.

A Significant AwardThe Nobel Prize situation this year at-

tracted an unusual amount of attention be-cause there was no geace prize awarded.That, of course, was only natural, since warwas blazing all around the prize-givingcountry.

Interest in the,peace prize story, how-ever, ^unfortunately distracted attentionfrom the other prizes. One of these pointeda very interesting moral.

The award in question went to Profes-sor Gerhard Domagk for his discovery of acure for penumonia, meningitis, and a num-ber of other of man's most "difficult" dis-eases. And there was one particularly in-teresting fact tbout the situation which wasmore or less lost in the shuffle. It was thefact that the award was made to a man whoconducted his researches, not with the aid

Church And State In SpainIt is interesting to observe that the Gov-

ernment of Spain, under a decree issued byGeneralissimo Francisco Franco, has re-stored to the Catholic clergy the paymentof incomes by the-State and, in addition,appropriated funds to repair damagesdone to Catholic church properties duringthe Civil War.

The payment of incomes to Catholicclergymen by the Government of Spain wasa practice put into effect in 1851 and sus-pended by the Spanish Republic after theRevolution in 1931. The State's annual ap-propriation to the clergy is fixed at 52,000,-000 pesetas.

Separation of church and State, an es-tablished principle in the United States, isnot the recognized practice in Spain andother countries of the world. Consequent-ly, it is difficult for the people of this coun-try to understand the mixture of religionand politics in resolutions or to comprehendthe bitter hatred that the religious factorintroduces into civil strife.

While we prefer the Jeffei'sonian philos-ophy which decrees a complete separationbetween church and State in this country,we have no objection to the Spanish Gov-ernment supporting any church that it pre-fers in Spain. At the same time, a churchsupported by any government tends to be-come the champion of the government, and,in case of civil strife, the antagonist ofthose opposed to that government.

Lamhasts Fads About ChildrenThe average, everyday, ordinary par-

ent of this community should appreciateDr. Leo Kanner, Associate-Professor ofPsychiatry at Johns Hopkins Hospital, whorecently assailed the fads of child-rearing.

Dr. Kanner insists that there should bea return to common-sense methods in bring-ing up children. He lambaste the fadistsand so-called specialists, with their mean-ingless terminologies and unproved theor-ies. The worst thing that has happened,says Dr. Kanner, is the prevalence of thetheory that every act and every omissionshould be guided by the thought of pre-venting something or other.

A little reflection ought to convince par-ents that Dr. Kanner is correct. The humanrace has existed for untold centuries. Natu-rally, the offspring of parents is adaptableto the training of its peculiar parent, andshould be reared according to the enlight-ened common-sense of its parents.

The progressive development of the hu-man race proceeds rather slowly. Thetraining of children should be based' uponthe age-old experience of parents ratherrather than according to a plan, adoptedby1 frightened parents who do not knowwhether the new fad has any backgroundexcept a theory.

Is Unemployment Permanent?There are many people in the United

States who believe that the unemploymentproblem will be solved if the nation man-ages to recover from the depression.

This view is not held by A. F. Hinrichs,chief economist of the Bureau of LaborStatistics, who says that the United Stateswill continue to "count its unemployed interms of millions" regardless of nationalrecovery.

Mr. Hinrich pointed out that while thevolume of industrial activity is now as greatas in-1927 and 1929, the volume of employ-ment is about 1,500,000 less than that of1929. Among the reasons given for thissituation is the yearly increment of about500,000 new workers who come forwardto seek jobs.

Those who have the idea that unem-ployment did not exist in the United Statesprior to the depression have anotherthought coming. It is estimated that morethan two million workers were unemployedin 1929,. the so-called "boom year."

The people of the United States cannotfail to appreciate the importance of provid-ing employment for those who wish to capi-talize upon their labor. Not only does un-employment in such cases produce seriousdomestic difficulties, but, if multiplied verymuch, there is danger of discontent whichmay find expression in ways that are notin keeping "with American traditions.

Looking At Washington Screen StarsHULL DEFENDS TREATIESNAVY'S ANNUAL REPORTANTI-TRUST ACT—LABORTHE A. M. A. HEALTH PLANSecretary of State Cordell Hull

continues his spirited defense ofhis reciprocal trade program, de-claring that it is designed to re-store ''balance and prosperity tomeriean agriculture and indus-try." He declares that if our tradepolicy is to be determined solelyby short-sighted and mistakenclaims of particular interest, de-termined to win a completely fa-vored position for themselves, thenation will again fall into a dis-orderly depression like that whichfollowed the Hawlcy-Smoot Tar-iff. He noted with approval thestatement of Prime MinisterChmberlain that "there can be nolasting- peace unless there is a fulland lasting trade between nations'*and that "only by increased inter-change of goods and services canthe standard of living be improv-ed."

The annual report of the NavyDepartment, just made public, cov-ers the fiscal year 1 d'M) whichended last June 80th. While littlenew information is included, itrecords a year of modernizationand expansion, intensified train-ing1, and good performances. Itcites a need for more men and forincreased storage space for sup-plies on the West Coast, togetherwith more adequate facilities,floating- oil barges, etc., at majornaval harbors.

Estimates of the strength ofleading navies in fighting shipsbuilt, building- or appropriated forare as follows: Great Britain, 2,-080,000 tons; United States, 1,-754,-000; France, 750,000; Italy,728,000; Germany, 5-11,000. Sincefigures for Japan are kept secretby Tokyo, the report estimates theJapanese Navy at 1,20!),754 tons.It includes three battleships ofabout 40,000 tons each, now beingbuiit, two aircraft carriers of 12,-500 tons each, thirty-two light sur-face vessels and sixty-two submar-ines.

Thurman Arnold, Assistant At-torney-General of the UnitedStates, recently declared that theDepartment of Justice will attemptto enforce the anti-trust lawsagainst certain labor union prac-tices, which have "no reasonableconnection with wages, hours,health, safety, speed-up systems,or the establishment of mainten-ance of the right of collective bar-gaining." Mr. Arnold enumerates

and illustrates some types of "un-reasonable restraints" which theDepartment intends to prevent.These include efforts to: (!) pre-vent the use of cheaper materials,improved equipment or efficientmethods; (2) compel the hiring ofuseless and unnecessary labor; (3)enforce "illegally fixed prices,"and (4) destroy an established andlegitimate system of collective bar-gaining. Mr. Arnold thinks theprosecution undertaken in accord-ance with his statement will be inthe best interest of the labor un-ions as well as the public. The con-tention of the American Federa-tion of Labor and the Congress ofIndustrial Organization that tradeunions are exempt from the anti-trust laws is met by the statementthat the Government's efforts willbe directed to preventing "the useof legal rights of an association inan illegal way."

In view of the general expecta-tion that one of the questions thatthe next Congress will consider isa program of public health, thereader may be interested in a pro-gram recently proposed by theAmerican Medical Association,which has a membership of 115,-000 doctors. Holding that the careof the public health and the pro-,vision of medical service to thesick is primarily a local respon-sibility, the Association declaresthat the development of preventivemedical services should be in ac-cordance with local determinationof need and with local control ofadministration. Medical care forthe indigent is matter of localdetermination of need and localcontrol of administration.

It would have a Federal agencyto coordinate all such functions ofthe Federal Government, exclusiveof the Army and Navy, with theallotment of such funds as maybe available to any state in actualneed and with the provision thaipresent medical services be utilizedto the utmost before there is slarge-scale extension of medicalservices.

The Association calls for thecontinued development of the pri-vate practice of medicine and the3xpan.-ion of public health ant'medical services consistent witi-the American system of democ•.•acy. The trustees say that "Tluintroduction of.methods, such af

compulsory sickness insurance,'state medicine and similar techniquc-s result in a trend toward;Communism or totalitarianism andaway from democracy."

Invasion Of Finland By RussiansCalled 'Contemptible' By Barbour

By WARREN BARBOURUnited States Senator from New

JerseyRED BANK, X. J., Dec. 7 —

Nothing that could have happenedin the European war zone couldtouch American sympathies more.leeply than the cruel, cowardlyami contemptible invasion of Fin-land by Soviet Russia.

There was neither military noeconomic justification for it. Itivas simply a cold-blooded assaultby a big bully on a courageous but.•datively helpless small neighbor,ind will be condemned and remem-)ered accordingly by world opinionind all right-thinking Americans.

Aside from the fact that Finlandhas in good faith paid its debts tothe United States, Americans havei high regard if not a special affec-tion for the Finnish people becausewe know them to be progressive,brave, intelligent and artistic.This little country, bordering theArctic Circle, lias given the worldpome of its best architecture, mu-sic and literature, and certainlydeserves a better fate than to bedominated if not completely con-quored and wiped out by a savageand ruthless government whichknows neither morals nor mercy.

Urges Diplomatic Break

I believe this nation should saverits diplomatic relations with SovietRussia primarily because of thebrutal attack upon Finland, butalso because the Soviet Union hasnever maintained its newly estab-lished relations with the UnitedStates in good faith. I am justas deliberate in my determinationto keep the United States out ofwar as the next man and I shallfight relentlessly to this end. Yetthere are times when this nationcould and should manifest its em-phatic disapproval of the whole-sale disregard of covenants andpledges. The Russian invasion ofFinland is the latest in a long listof flagrant violations of humanand national rights and probablyin many respects is the most brutalof the many crimes committedagainst small nations which haveso shocked the world in the lastfive years.

A deep and growing distrust for

Soviet Russia and all that it repre-sents is pervading America. Sincere-establishment of diplomatic re-lations with the Soviet some years,ago, countless instances have cometo light in which it has been clearlyproven that the Soviet has failed,to maintain these relations in tin-good faith expected of it, amiprobably never had any intentionof maintaining these relations ingood faith. Her subversive ac-tivities have expanded steadily anilthere is now plenty of evidence of.the presence of Soviet representa-tivs in the Military and Navalforces of the United States.

Opposes BullittI opposed the confirmation of

the appointment of Mr. Bullitt aAmbassador to Soviet Russia, notbecause of any dislike for him per-sonally, hut because the confirma-tion of the appointment was theonly expression allowed to Con-gress on the- subject of recognition.I opposed also the confirmation olthe Reciprocal Trade Treaty be-tween the United Slates and Rus-sia, maintaining at the time thatthe agreement was manifestly un-fair to American labor and indus-try and placed them a( a markeddisadvantage.

Every indication from Washing-ton gives rise to the conviction thatthe President himself, the chief ad-vocate of the re-establishment ofdiplomatic relations and the chiefsupporter of the Reciprocal TradeAgreement, now has seen the er-ror of his ways and regrets thesteps taken. I am in hearty ac-cord with his latest conclusionsami am only sorry that he was notof the same mind I was five yearsago.

Gen. Johnson And Secretary IckesTo Resume VerbalFeudOn MondayNEWARK—Dangers which lie

ahead of democratic, nations ofthe world will be debated at thethird meeting of Towrn Hall of Es-sex County on Monday evening at8:40 in the Mosque Theatre, New-ark.

The problems which confront theUnited States will lie discussed bySecretary of tne Interior HaroldL. Ickes and General Hugh S.Johnson, while the European sit-uation will be taken up by Dr.Joachim Prinz, German exile andrabbi of Temple IJ'Nai Abraham ofNewark. A question and answerperiod will follow the talks, withHarry Friedgut, managing direc-tor of the Griffith Music Founda-tion and Town Hull of Essex Coun-ty presiding.

It is anticipated that the strongopinions of Secretary Ickes andGeneral Johnson on political sub-jects will be well brought out in'he meeting. On the question ofEuropean democracies, Dr. Prinzis expected to give a clear, poign-ant picture of the European, scenetoday.

An astute student of currentpolitical affairs, Dr. Prinz was anactive political worker in Germanybefore his exile, and for the pasttwo years has been lecturing on po-litical and historical subjectsthroughout the United States andCanada.

'\^ar Is Popular'It is his opinion that the Hit-

ler regime is too strong to hibroken by an underground move-ment, and that Hitler's downfallcan come only by a complete vic-tory on the part of the democraticnations. "For the past six year,"he says, "the youth of Germanyhas been trained to believe in thegreatness of war. War is popularwith the younger generation andwhile the older generation opposesit, youth is the decisive force."

"Germany can hold out in a warmuch longer than is anticipated,"Dr. Prinz said. "I'\>r many yearsprior to the beginning of' actualwarfure German people have beenrationed. This was a systematicpreparation for the war'to come,and they are now in an excellentposition to withstand a long strug-gle. The defeat of Germany willbe a difficult job, and will doubt-less result in a long war."

"llev greatest obstacle," accord-ing to Dr. Prinz, "will be the pim-ple of the former Czechoslovakia.Within greater Germany thisgroup is the most militant, andthe nearest military match to Ger-many herself, but the formerCzechoslovakians are unwilling tocooperate with Hitler's war-likeplans."

BIG DEMAND SEENFOR ' 3 9 J L B . SEALSBiggest Year In Decade Is

Anticipated Here ByMrs. McElroy

WOODBRIDGE — Popular de-mand for the 1939 Christmas Sealdrawn by Rockwell Kent promises

to surpass that of any seal sold bythe Middlesex County Tuberculosisand Health League in the past tenyears. This statement was madeyesterday by Mrs. Leon E. Mc-Elroy, seal chairman for Wood-bridge, and was based on reportsreceived from state headquarters•.is well as early returns.

The demand for this, year's sealwas attributed by Mrs. McElroylargely to the public's increasingunderstanding of the tuberculosisprogram. She recalled that duringthe depression years a feature ofthe sale was the receipt of apolo-getic notes declaring the interestof the writer and promising a con-tribution with the return of bet-ter times. She emphasized thatthe ten-year period was one of ex-panding programs including dem-onstrations of mass tuberculintesting in schools and the exten-sion of modern diagnostic andtreatement methods.

Mrs. McElroy stressed the im-portance of early returns frommail sale letters. Prompt responseis not only a great help to theorganization in the conduct of thesale but insures the use of the sealson December mail. She remindedthat the use of the seal plays animportant part in the educationalprogram.

Water Company In Bergen CountyCreates Vast Beauty At Reservoir

HACKEXSACK—Forest plant-ings begun nearly a quarter of acentury ago have transformed theuplands surrounding Oradell Lake,largest of the storage reservoirs ofthe Hackensaek Water Company,into one of the most beautifulscenic areas in the metropolitandistrict, according to a. report of asurvey recently completed by land-scape architects.

The plan originated with thelate Robert W. de Forest, presidentof the Hackensaek Water Companyfrom 1885 to 1931, who, while theOradell Reservoir was being built,foresaw the community valuewhich would arise from scientificreforestation of a region whichhad been disfigured by the con-struction operations accompany-ing the expansion of Bergen Coun-ty's water supply.

"While added years and growthwill enhance the beauty of thescene, this extensive body of wa-ter and its surroundings now rep-resent the consummation of Mr.de Forest's vision of a natural lakeof clean water, surrounded by quietsylvan beauty and forest, largelypine," declares the report, pre-pared "by Olmstead Brothers ofErookline, Mass., under whose di-rection the plantings were startedand developed.

The present scene, the reportpoints out, is in startling contrastto "the appalling upheaval, de-struction, disorder, and offensive-ness that was an inevitable accom-paniment during the constructionof the reservoir."

The survey was made by HansJ. Koehler, of the Olmsted organi-zation, who, with a group of offi-cials of the Water Company, in-spected the various areas sur-rounding the reservoirs which im-pound reserve supplies for fifty-one communities in Bergen andNorth Hudson counties. It was toMr. Koehler that Mr. dc Forest un-folded his idea of permanently enhancing Bergen's natural beauty.

New Trees Introduced

In an exhaustive discussion ofthe origin and development of theOradell groves, the report outlinesrecommendations for the mainten-ance of the Oradell area, includingthe introduction of new kinds oftrees and shrubs.

"The shore plantings of pinesare in thriving condition," the re-port says. "Although some yearsare still required to produce themature result desired, the wood-land effect has already beenbrought to the water's edge, andthe distressingly raw banks havebeen practically obliterated.

"While in general the treesshould and do come to the water'sedge, there are several stretcheswhere a grassy, open area, backedby wodlands, replaces trees. Theseadd scenic variety and should beretained. Thinning: of the pineplantings has been carried out withercellent results in many places."

Most of the forest areas aroundOradell Reservoir, the reportstates, should be of the closewoodtype, that is, the trees should bespaced closely, both because thattype is esthetieally the most suit-able and because its upkeep ismore practicable and straightfor-ward than that of any other type.

Wide Variety of Trees

The Oradell forest areas em-

brace several hundred acre?. Theyabound in native deciduous treesincluding oak, maple, sycamore,beech, ash, dogwood, and hickory,as well as in planted evergreens in-cluding: white, red, jack, and Aus-trian pine, hemlock, and Norwayspruce.

Oradell reservoir was completedin 1939, and the Oradell dam in1921. Dredging operations werestarted in 1912, and it was in 1911>,after broad areas of rilled land hadbeen built up, that Mr. de Foreststarted his program of reforesta-tion and rehabilitation.

Conservation of moisture andpreservation of soil erosion 'areamong the advantages provided bythese plantings, the significance ofwhich to the community has beenbrought to public attention in theintervening years by The LivingTree Guild, The Izaak WaltonLeague, Federal and State Agri-cultural Departments and otheragencies which have influenced theestablishment by other water com-panies of landscape departmentsdevoted to reforestation.

Winter Autoists'PublicEnemyNo. 1Keating Warns, In Urging CautionWOODBRIDGE — With severe

winter storms and more dangerousdriving1 conditions resulting fromsnow and ice "just around the cor-ner," Chief of Police George E.Keating today warned motorists tobe prepared for safer winter driv-ing-.

While the Township will do ev-erything practicable to keep streetsopen, motorists should co-operatewith decreased speed and logicalmethods for prevention of acci-dents caused by "Old Man Win-ter," Chief Keating declared. Henamed winter as Public Enemy Xo.1, citing the 35 to -15 per cent in-crease in accidents during coldmonths when there is k\ss.travel.

Chief Keating's winter drivinginstructions, based on tests madeby the National Safety Council,follow:

"On slippery surfaces keepspeed low and car in gear. Avoidsituations requiring quick stopsand sudden changes in directionSpeeds on ice should not be ex-cessive even with tire chains orcinders on the ice.

"Chains or cinders provide amuch-needed safety factory on ice,making 20 miles an hour reason-ably safe. Without them the samespeed is extremely hazardous andspeeds lower than 15 miles an hourare imperative.

Good Tires Helpful

'"Non-skid tread tires arc defi-nitely helpful on wet pavement andto a very limited extent on snow,but they jrive no more anti-skidprotection on ice than smooth tires.Tire chains are the best si'lf-ht>lpfor the passenger car motorists.

"On wet and even dry pave-ments, always anticipate ice onbridges, in shaded spots, aroumicurves and over hills, and whenthawing temperatures are drop-ping1. Start by releasing the clutchslowing, with the engine idling andtho car in low gear, and accoU'ratecautiously to avoid spinning rearwheels."

"For the information of the com-mittee, I state however, that thereare certain groups of certificatesincluded within the original con-tract which cannot be acted uponuntil 1941 since the required two-year statutory period will not haveelapsed since the date of the taxsale.

Women of Iroquois Tribes,Deserted by Husbands,

Used Poison Weed.

WASHINGTON.—Some of the Iro-quoian tribes in New York state andCanada until very recently used theroots of the same poisonous plant tocommit suicide that their ancestorsused 300 years ago. Middle-agedwomen, deserted by their husbands,were known to poison themselves inthis way.

The plant widely used for suicidepurposes was the water hemlock, orpoison hemlock (Cicuta maculata),that grows in the wet meadow? andpastures of the region. It is men-tioned as early as 1632 among theHurons by Father Sagard.

Discovered by Ethnologist.This remarkable survival of a na-

'tive custom through so many yearsof the white man's influence wasnoted this summer by Dr. W. N.Fenton of the Smithsonian Bureauof American Ethnology. Dr. Fen-ton, who has just returned to Wash-ington after two months' study ofthe medicinal use of herbs fay "theIroquoian tribes, reports that cer-tain of these medicinal herbs areknown by the same names and usedfor the same ailments bv tribes thatspeak different dialects and are lo-cated hundreds of miles apart.

For several seasons Dr. Fentonhas been collecting comparativematerial for use in a comprehensivework on Iroquois medicine, com-menced 30 years ago by the late F.W. Waugh of (he National Museumof Canada. This year Dr. Fentonvisited the St. Regis reservation onthe Canadian-Unifed States border;the Mohawk reservation at Caugh-nawaga, near Montreal; the Huronreservation at La Jeune Lorette,Que.; the Six Nations reserve atBrantford, Ont., and the Alleghenyreservation at Salamanca, N.

Deanna Durbin Has First RomanceIn4Young Love' Opening At DitmasYouthful Film Star With The Glorious Voice Attains \

i New Triumphs In More Mature Role

Deanna Durbin's sixth picture, "First Love," comes tothe Ditmas Theatre at a prevue tonight.

Presenting the young star in a more mature role than• she has ever attempted, "First Love" finds her experi-

encing her first romance. The film was produced by Joe^sternak, who has been responsible for all of Deanna's

Their 'First Love*

offerings, and directed by HenryKoster, who directed her in "ThreeSmart Girls," "100 Men and aGirl," and "Three Smart GirlsGrow Up."

1 The picture is an original screenplay and was made at Universalstudios by the same staff whichproduced all of the former Dean-na Durbin successes beginning withthe memorable "Three SmartGirls."

Logical StoryDeanna will be seen as an or-

phan girl who is forced to livewith an aunt, an uncle, and twocousins her own age. They arerich and snobbish and look uponDeanna a.s a poor relation. Thestar's personality, considerationand kindness win over the servantsand finally bring about an upheav-al in the family.

In the picture Deanna encoun-ters her first love affair, a boy-and-girl romance between herselfand Robert Stack, a screen new-comer in the role of a young bach-elor who is the object of the affec-tions of Deanna and of Helen Par-rish, who plays one of the snobbishcousins, and in the romance, Dean-na receives her first screen kiss—and her first proposal of marriage.

Outstanding Names"First Love" presents a sup-

Although the word "glamour"is growing a bit threadbarethrough constant usage in Holly-wood, it wdl have to do until abetter word is coined. Meanwhile,"glamour" is said to describe Uni-versal's "Rio," opening at theStrand Theatre.

"Rio" is declared to be glamor-ous right from the start. Thestory begins in Paris with BasilRathbone appearing as a prince offinance whose false empire isthreatening to crash about his ears.He still retains a fine taste inpearls, wine and women. SigridGurie is the woman. Her cos-tumes were designed by MadamePola, famous Paris couturier.

From Paris the action of thestory moves to Rio ck- Janerio, thegayest city in South America, re-plete with senoritas, senors,. gau-chos and rhumba orchestras. Andwhile Rathbone is eating his heartout in a jungle prison camp. MissGurie meets and falls in love wtihRobert Cumniings.

Miss Gurie made her screen de-but a couple of years ago whenSam Goldwyn presented Tier in"Marco Polo," then loaned her toWalter Wanger for "Algiers."

JANE WITHERS, RITZES

IN HILARIOUS COMEDY

The chance of a lifetime to:"Pack Up Your Troubles" in your !old kit bag and howl, howl, howlwill greet you down at the StrandTheatre, where joyous Jane With-ers arrived last night in the new20th century-Fox comedy of thattilet, with those riotous Ritz Bro-thers tossed in to guarantee youa maximum of fun. ,

Yes, Jane's the bravest littleMa'amselle in all France—and theRitzes are in the army now! Be-ing the Ritzes, of course they takethe liberty of telling the General ioff, with results that provide thepicture with one of the funniestpunch lines in the memory of thisreviewer.

The Ritzes, a trio of out-of-work !

vaudevillians, enlist and are sent'to France on a transport as nurse-maids to a herd of army mules, un-der the supervision of hard-boiledSergeant "Angel Face" Walker.

"Xo Place To Go" the WarnerBros, picture featuring DennisMorgan, Gloria Dickson and FredStone, which arrives at the Cres-cent Theatre, is based on the suc-cessful stage play, "Minick" whichwas written by the brilliant teamof Edna Fiirber and George S.Kaufman.

• As adapted sympathetically forthe screen by Lee Katz, LawrenceKimble and Fred Xiblo, Jr., it isa homely tale of the eternal prob-lem of the relations between agedparents an children who havereached maturity.

This problem, in its simplestterms, i.s embraced usually in thequestion of whether parentsshould live with their married chil-dren. In "No Place To Go" thechief protagonists are Stone asthe old father, Morgan as his sonand Miss Dick.-on as the son's wife.

| The matter is treated fairly,for there is no villainy nor hatred.Each has a proper affection foreach other and eat-'n one meansto do the right thing. Neverthe-less, as the story unfolds, it be-comes plain enough that, no mat-ter how fine the intentions ofthe old man and the two youngpeople, the father realizes sadlythat his place is not in their home.

The old man has enough moneyto solve his own problem, and hedoes it bravely, although there is abit of heartbreak over a partingthat everyone knows is really forthe best. And it happens thatthere is a. typo of old folks home,which is more like a club, towhich his money gains him en-trance. But the picture may leaveone reflecting that unfortunatelyall such problems are not solvedwith such a minimum of tragedy.

Ann Sheridan is finding out that her selection as "America'sOomph Girl" is an honor that carries its penalties. The award wasmade while Ann was working in her latest Warner Bros, picture, "TheAngels Wash Their Faces," which is now playing at the Strand The-atre.

"I've never been so unmercifully kidded in my life," Ann con-fessed several days later. "Cpen season on the 'oomph' girl has beendeclared at the Warner Bros. Studio, and wherever I turn I am sub-jected to a gentle but very effective species of 'ribs' and jokes.

"The 'Dead End' Kids, that rambunctious aextette of scalawags,must lie awake night, thinking up gags to spring on me. Ohe daythey put up a sign on my little dressing room on the stage, drawingattention to the 'oomph' girl inside—-the only one in captivity. 'Tencents admission,' said the sign, and they even made me pay a dime toenter my own dressing room!

"They 'accidentally' bump into me as they pass, and exclaim,'Oomph!" before they begin elaborate apologias for the collision."

At the Warner Bros. Studio, where the "Dead End" Kids are un-der contract, folks are pretty upset about the fact that Hollywood hassupposedly done something to the boys. They rise to protest thatit isn't true at all, that Hollywood has done nothing to the kids. Itis the kids who have done something to Hollywood. ..No one who hasworked in a picture with the boys is ever the same again.

Although plenty obstreperous as a group, each one by himself isintelligent and good natured. One of them, to earn pocket money, usedto sell peanuts and popcorn at Madison Square 'Garden, deliver par-cels and telegrams, sell papers and run errands. He has finished highschool and hopes to see something of the inside of a university.

Though only 13, Huntz Hall is his own guardian. A Los Angelesjudge said he could be last year and Huntz claims the judge showedgood sense.

Designed for laughing: purposesonly, Joe Penner's latest picture"The Day the Bookies Wept,"brings the famous comedian to lo-cal screens at an early date withan hilarious race-track story.

The plot deals with the effortsof a group of taxi-drivers to makethemselves a fortune at horse-rac-ing. They lose their money con-sistently, to the jibes of the book-ies at their favorite track, andthey plan on revenge. They willbuy a horse of their own, enterhim at long odds, and clean up.

In furtherance of this brilliantidea they select Penner, one oftheir number, to buy and train thehorse for them. Penner is a pig-eon fancier and knows nothingabout horses, but the boys over-rule him ami send him to Ken-tucky to purchase a suitable steed.A pair of sharpers trick him intobuying a nag named Hiccup, andHiccup has one remarkable qual-ity; he's a. 'drunkard," ami won'trun properly unless well liquoredu p . •

But, Penner doesn't know this,and proudly bo brings his prizeback to Brooklyn. Against his pro-tests the boys make him take Hic-cup to the Jamaica track for train-ing, which interferes with Pon-ner's romance with the sister of afollow taxi-pilot. The horse is en-tered in several races but invari-ably runs last, and the odds on himsoar, while the temper of Penner'sfiance does likewise.

Finally Penner aj-Te.es to m a ^the hovsc win iiis nexT r:UUV andMiCjiVing1 l'nake up a pot to bet. onHiccup, Penner also putting in hi:jown savings, on which he had plan-ned to marry. At this juncture thetwo crooks who sold him the horse,show up, and, knowing of Hiccup'ssecret vice, they send a barrel of.beer around to the stable.

What happens thereafter makesfor. the uproarious climax to theoffering, with the crooks, Penner,the tqxi drivers, the girl and tWbookies involved in a wild merry-go- round of complications andtroubles. The film is said to beone. of the funniest pictures of theyear.

WOODBRIHOK — WoodbrideeIlitfh School emerged from themuck, mist and mud with a 19-Gvictory over its traditional rival,South River, to clinch the mythic-n] Middlesex County championshiphpfore 5,500 rain-soaked fans hutl-(Ucd in the Legion Stadium hereRainrday.

The defeat handed the Brick-town bunch by the mighty Red"Wave was the worst suffered byif this .season. The margin of vic-tory was also the greatest everregistered by a Red and Blackdub over the cross river school.

Tt all happened because a littlequarterback, George Wasilek, wholips the scales at 142 pounds, re-

" ' I mist

out-smart, out-pass and out-evt.thine- the invaders off erred offen-sively or defensively. And whenthe frame wound up he walked offIhn fir-Id just as fresh as when heHnrtcd to play.

Ardenowski StoppedSouth River supporters who had

tinned out hoping for a repeti-tion of last year's upset chalkedup against the Ghosts by the Ma-roons were soon disillusioned. EdArdenowski, flashy field generaland passing expert, failed to shownnvlhintr that bothered the Bar-roiis. From the opening- to thefinal whistles, South River waseasily outmatched.

Woodbridge's Red Wave beganrolling (he second time it gainedpossession of the ball in the first]quarter. Wasilek returned Arde-nowski's punt 20 yards to the Ma-roon 35 yard line. Wasilek net-ted five yards around end. Anaerial, Wasilek to Ernie Barthaadvanced the ball to the 13. NickScmak, on an end around, reached-the three-yard stripe.

Wasilek to RescueTwo line plays failed to click

and Wasilek resumed his pitching.The first toss by Wasilek was com-pleted for the initial score. Se-mak leaped high into the air tomake a finger-tip catch of the ballover his left shoulder as he steppedover the goal line. His place-ment for the extra point was per-fect. The Barrons had struck paydirt in less than three minutes.

The balance of the opening: stan-za went without further scoring1,as the Denny men were halted onevery play and the Ghosts jock-eyed for breaks in the slipperygoing.

Starting the second period,Toach Nick Prisco substituted hisentire second team with the ex-ception of Wasilek who remainedin the game to guide the Jayvees.As the first canto ended, the var-sitl club had possession of the ovalon South River's 27-yard marker.

Karnas FumblesWith a first down staring the

subs in the face as the secondquarter got under way, Walt Kar-na? fumbled the ball on the firstplay. Joe Borak, Maroon back,came in fast to spear the ball be-fore it hit the ground. Aided bybeautiful interference, he sprinted70 yards to give South River itssingle touchdown. Steve Nowicki'splacement was no good. Wood-bridge held the lead at 7-6.

Neither team accomplishedmuch in the third period as the

ifooting and handling of the leatherjbeeame uneertin due to a drizzlethat had turned into light rain.The Barrons, however, held theDennymen in South River territoryuntil late in the quarter.

Wasilek gambled on fourthdown an failed by an inch to makea first down on the Woodbridge 30.Ardenowski flipped two passeswith Steve Senko on the receivingend that pushed the ball to theBarrons' 16 as the stanza ended.When play was resumed, Meadegained eight yards through center.Nowicki lost three yards on thenext play, and Ardenowski's aerialwas grounded in the end zone.That terminated South River's on-ly threat of the game.

Pochek InterceptsTwo thrilling touchdowns, on in-

terceptions, brought the contest toa close. With three minutes leftto play, Ardenowski passed to Sen-ko but John Pochek, Woodbridgeguard, intercepted the ball on the

In ConclusionAfter the South River game last Saturday, Coach

Nick Prisco told me that he "shall cherish the memory ofthe 1939 team forever. In the long run, however, it will notbe the touchdowns and completed passes that count andstand out. It will be the magnificent spirit and matchlessioyalty of the team."

If you recall, the Barrons at the start of the seasonwere predicted to fall prey to everything in the coun-ty . . . They were light in weight, inexperienced andlacked reserve material . . . This advance theory wasshot to pieces by the team's fight-to-the-finish attitude.

Prisco went on'by saying "The boys have shown a de-termination which is highly gratifying to a coach. In com-parison with other teams at Woodbridge, the spirit whichthese boys have shown was remarkable. This was par-ticularly noticeable in the "B" team. We had no firstteam, but one club made up of 22 players."

Facts Of InterestThis was the fourth successive year that the Wood-

bridge-South River game was played in inclement weather. . . . The loss of the Linden contest was the first sufferedby the Barrons on the Legion gridiron . . . The two-touch-down defeat was the worst sustained by South River infour years.

The Barrons created some sort of a record againstSouth River last Saturday, when they recorded twotouchdowns in 30 SECONDS of actual playing time. . . In the last two games, George Wasilek, All-Stateback, completed 19 out of 25 passes . . . This accomp-lishment is worth crowing about—but "Spike" isn'tthe type to do it.

Nick Semak, All-State end, just missed being the re-cipient of the Middlesex county trophy for high scoringhonors . . . He lost out by only two points . . . Ed Arden-owski, All-State back from South River, scored a total of36 points, while Semak tallied 34 points.

This season's Barron Club used six miles of adhesivetape . . . One mile more than last year . . . The reasonfor this was the two-team system used by Prisco thisfall . . . The Ghosts will be honored guests tonight atthe Victory Dance to be held at the high school bythe Junior Class . . . More honors will come Wednes-day night, December 20, when the athletic commit-tee entertains them at a turkey dinner in the highschool.

Prisco likes the co-captain arrangement for games . . .One man discusses the -weakness of opposing lines andbacks while in a huddle during time outs . . . The otherman takes up penalty questions with officials.

Maroon 25 and sprinted over thegoal line behind brilliant interfer-ence that blocked-out every SouthEiver tackier. Semak's kick forthe point after, was blocked.

The following kiekoff by Wood-bridge was returned to the Ma-roon 40 by Nick Yanovsky. CharlesFarnsworth, who replaced Arde-nowski, attempted another aerialto Senko. This time Ernie Barthashot in fast, took the throw and

galloped 45 yards to the finalscore. Wasilek's dropkick failedto add the extra point.

The passing combination of Wa-silek to Semak; the shifty runningof Wasilek, augmented by viciousblocking and tackling by Pochek,D'ApriJe, Royie, Holub and Ur be-fuddled South River.

Beginning _ to-day the bowler shooting the high-est score on any set of alleys cov-ered by this paper will have hi#name under each paragraph ofthis column to be used as a "cut-off." The honor goes to the FordsRec alleys this week, and the "pin-buster"' is—

_ F. HunsPn, 238 —The Craftsmen's league start-

ed its new schedule this weekwith six bona fide teams, which,I know, will finish their scheduleat the end of the year 100 percent. The teams entered are:Jule's Ice House, Craftsmen's,Avenel A. A., AJmasi Tavern,Coppola Cleaners and House ofFinn. Good luck to you all, andmay the best team win.

— F. Hnnwn, 238 —The teams started off on the

right foot with not one clean-sweep being registered, whichshows that the teams are enevlymatched, and warrants fast actionfor the rest of the year. The gainerthis week showed that Jule's kvMen, Almasi's Tavern and CoppolaCleaners started off by taking twoout of three each. Their victimsbeing Craftsmen, Avenel and Finn.

— F. llanwn, 238 —The Ice Housers clipped off

some neat 900 games to take thelead. Both Bernsteins and Fisherpopped off 200's, while from theCraftsmen, both Schwenzerswere in the 200 column. ApplesAlmasi's team, with Springer,McFarlene and Hmieleski do-nating some nice 200 games, tomy idea they will be somewhereon top before the season is halfover. The Cleanrs had Mesar andCoppola in the double C columnand young Pop Rusznak's 216was high for the Finns.

M's.right on the tail of the Kacopswho were trimmed by Palko'sTavern for two games. Kuzniaks"whistler" ball was working per-fect for the G. M's. He whistledright by the pins for a score of105.

— F. IIsinsr.>n, '::!& —The Paramount Barber Shop

team is certainly having toughbreaks. For the last few weeks ithas been hitting some nice scoresbut it just happens that the op-ponents hit 'em just enough tonose them out. But I like their 'door die" spirit and they keep righton plugging anil take it from me,they will be the one team that wiltcreate a big upset in the near fu-ture.

— I-1. Uuiisi'ii, 2S8 —In the other match the Giants

had no trouble taking three fromihe Reading Office, who wereshooting with two blinds. Waiglad to see Joe Gill back in theline-up and he plugged 'empretty fair after his layoff-.Chick Jacobs looked bad withhis 139 opener, but layed theball in the pocket for 214 and224 in the next two games.

Speaking about the Giants, oneof my operators told me that afterthe match Slippers Nagy suggestedthat they go over to Carteret totry the alleys out. They went over:ni(] in the first frame Slippersshot on the wrong alley in the 7lhframe. He had to shoot-again andmissed, and became so exasperatedthat he couldn't bowl a lick forthe rest of the night. I understandthat he even refused to ride homewith the boys. He hitch-hiked.

— V. lluns'i'ii, 238 —The Mayer team in the Peanut

league certainly do mean busi-ness. In the last few •weeks ithas been taking over every teamit faced. This week the bayswalked home with two moreunder their belt. The Nut Clubbeing the victims. Batta of theMayers again held the spotlightwith his good shooting.

— F. Jliinscn, 238 —Inserting five Gerilys in the

Casey lineup didn't help them anyas they dropped all three to Stum-py's Blue Bar. And looking atStumpy's scores lately, I'm begin-ning to think that he is really tak-ing his bowling seriously. M. Pal-ko of the K. C.'H eased himself in-to the 200 column in the histwith that 20J>. You ought to seethe shrimp stick his chest out. Inthe other match of the week theHilltop mob caught Geo's teamnapping in the last game and putone in the win column. Two of thellolzheimers must have had some-thing on their minds the way theyhit 'em. But Minnie did all right.Feeney "fooed" a 102, then gothimself a 20G.

QUARTERBACKSLOTON SECOND SQUADACCORDED FORMEAerial Combination Of Lo-

cal School Chosen ForN. J. Recognition

PICKED OUT OF 4,000NEWARK — Woodbridge High.

School continued to crash the bigtime football market with a pairof leather-lugging lads who steppedinto All-State limelight when the1039 "dream teams" were assembl-ed by Gus A. Falzer, field secre-tary of the New Jersey State In-terseholastie Athletic Association.

George "Spike" Wasilek, theBarrons sensational running andpassing quarterback, was named tofill the quarterback post on theprep schools. Extracted from asecond team of all-high and all-field of 4,000 players, Wasilek wasrated second to the- great BonBabula, of Garfield, who drew firstteam assignment as field general,

Wiisilt'k's shifty and weavinglerhniqut' in carrying the ball, hisoutstanding pasing- ability andquock kicks carried him throughthe gates of gridiron glory.

In addition to being namedquarterback on the second eleven,composed of all-high and all-propplayers, Wasilek was selected tothe sanu1 position on the first teamof Group III high schools.

Nick Semak, brilliant Red andBlack end, also worked himselfinto state-wide fame by drawing awing position on the second teamof Group III high schools.

Semak, high-scoring end in Mid-dlesex County, won the award be-causv of Jii.s alectno.es nml abilityto take the bullet-like tosses whop-ped to him by Wasilek. In cop-ping the title of high-scoring endin Middlesex, Semak, on numerousoccasions, leaped high into the airand took passes over his shoulder.

John "Duke" Pochek, who play-ed hangup ball for Woodbridgo asa guard, was given honorable men-tion by Fulzer. Pochok was oneof the main cogs in the Barronexcellent defensive maneuvers.

Of the 4,000 players, represeing 17.r> schools, only a few canbask in the glory of All-State sel-ections. Competing1 against thisfield, Woodbridge has made greatstrides toward the top in recentyears. The Barrons, today, arerated as the hardest-fighting inCentral Jersey. Woodbridge elev-ens always give opposition coachesplenty to worry about for the RedWave packs dynamite in every rip-ple.

A-Field and A-Stream

Small Game Season Ends SoonThe open season on quail, rabbit, hare, gray, black ;

or fox squirrel, male ring-neck pheasants, ruffed grouse

and Hungarian partridge will end a week from today, Fri-

day the 15th.From all sides comes comment about the scarcity of

birds. Cover that produced lots of them last year, wasbarren or nearly so, this season. That the pheasant is nota wanderer is shown by the information obtained by thestate of Wisconsin, which banded many pheasants withthe result that of nearly 5,000 banded birds reported, 36percent were killed in the same township in which theywere released. It looks like we have either been kiddedabout the number of birds put out, or that the birds diedbefore the season opened and quite some time before theopening date, at that, because we didn't see too many be-fore November 10th either.

While we are on the subject of birds, perhaps thefollowing table of flight speeds of some of our game birdsmay be of interest to you. You perhaps wondered how youmissed that great big cock bird flying past you, but, may-be you didn't know that he can travel at the rate of 60miles per hour? The ruffed- grouse is credited with 22miles per hour, and the quail with 49. The fastest bird isthe duck hawk, with 180 miles per hour and next on thelist is the golden eagte with 120! There are a number ofducks credited with more than a mile a minute speeds.We'll bet yon thought the ruffed grouse and quail weremuch faster than the pheasant. We did anyway. Thesespeeds were compiled by the U. S. Bureau of Biological

Survey and should be nearly correct.'••• v *

Odds and EndsSpecial skeet and trap shoots are to be held each

Sunday, at the Union County Park Traps, Cranford. Bur-ing the winter twenty-three events will be held.

A young football player from Massachusetts recent-ly caught a 115-pound buck deer, that was running wildthrough a residential section by tackling it around theneck. He held it until the police arrived with the "BlackMaria" and turned the deer over to the game warden.

A black racoon, a rarity sometimes referred to as a"Melano Racoon" was shot recently in the woods near Cali-fon. The teeth were worn down, indicating that the 'coonwas well along in years.

GROUP IVBUT LOWER STATUSBRINGS MX TIEHad Earlier Classification

Been Retained, TitleAlso Would Be Kept

SHIFT IS^ASKED HEREBy Elmer J. Vecsey

NEWARK — WoodbridgeRed Rank high schools have th»honor of splitting the "herring"award which the New Jersey StateInlersehola.stie Athletic Associa-tion doled out here Monday nightwhen football championship teamswere named.

Those with seavy colds are for-tunate, for the award, placingWoodbridge and Kerf Bunk in a tiefor the Group III title in CentralJersey, has caused others towrinkle (heir nostrils due to shortsniffs. Rome folks say THE awardand a herring—any herring—havetho same aroma.

Fur be it. for this writer torender iu\ opinion on the notabledecision. But, Paul Horowitz, ofthe Newark Evening News, says"Figm'e-s may never lit1, but thereare a lot of high school coachesin New Jersey who will argue thatpoint after scanning the finalratings of the state's teams."

Wins Group IV Crown!Take for instance the Central

Jersey dilema. Under the Collitonpoint system of ratine, which isemployed by the N. J. S. I. A.A. moguls in tho naming ofchampions, Woodbridge had aclear-cut mortgage on the GroupIV title. The teams and theirratings wore liste-d in this ordev:Woodbridge (4S4), New Bruns-wick (-180), Asbury Park (400),Perth Amboy (333) and Plainfield(253).

Woodbridge was four points in.front of New Brunswick, itsclosest competitor. The Barronswere entitled to retain the Cen-Jersey Group IV crown they won

last year. And, they would clearlyhave won it had they been inGroup IV this year.

Yes, an unwarranted shiftfrom Group IV to Group III lastSeptember cost Woodbridge theundisputed possession of the Cen-tral Jersey Group IV title. Thechange was requested by Barronofficials. The reason advanced forthe shift was given as "thoschool's desire" to participate in,the newly formed Central JerseyGroup III Conference.

It must be admitted that thechange is due cause for the Bar-rons' losing the Group IV champ-ionship. Woodbridge can't expectto win something it hadn't com-peted for. In this the N. J. S. I. A.A. is entirely correct.

However, when the state mogulswere considering the Barrons inGroup III they should have con-sidered their operating record andaccomplishments in the higher di-vision. Woodbridge, after all, de-feated such Group IV teams asNew Brunswick, Perth Amboy andThomas Jefferson; tied Orangeand Paterson East Side, andbasted South River, one of thestrongest Group III clubs in thestate.

Red Bank RecordIn comparison, Red Bank regis-

tered victories over teams muchweaker than those faced by Wood-bridge. The Bankers defeatedLeonardo, Princeton and Neptune,of GROUP II; they won fromLong Branch, Group III; downedLinden and Morristown, GroupIV, and lost to Asbury Park,Group IV, and South Rier, GroupIII.

The Barrons played all theirgames in their own class or above.Red Bank is credited with threewins that were over teams lowerthan their group.

A most puzzling situation ariseswhen the N. J, S. I. A. A. admitsWoodbridge would have won the.Group IV title had it been in thatdivision. Yet, in the next breath,the members refuse to give theBarrons sole ownership of theGroup III crown which is a lowerdivision than Group IV.

If a fighter is classed as a heaiweight and wins the title indivision, he certainly is ratec'above middleweight boxers. That!common sense. The N. J. S. I.A. "herring" decision is notvn common let alone being ssible.

Fight Spirit of SoldiersWins Them Cut-Rate FineBURLINGTON, VT.—Municipal

Judge A. H. Grout apparently be-lieves in a well-prepared and strongarmy. When two soldiers attachedto Fort Ethan Allen pleaded guiltyto a breach of the peace charge aris-ing from a fight over a girl. JudgeGrout asked:

"Was it a good fight?""Yes, your honor," replied one of

the soldiers.He imposed a fine o£ $5 each and

remarked:"If it had been a poor fight, the

fine would have been $15 each."

What Is Wrong With HerWashing Machine? Nuttin'

MARQUETTE, IOWA—"Nutlin*is the matter with i\," the mechanicwho had been called in here to re-pair Mrs. Harry Schott's washingmachine told her. He removed aquart of hickory nuts which squir-rels had stored around the motor.

Light Ray MessagesMessages by light rays were de-

scribed as an almost interception-proof means o£ communication dur-ing warfare by Dr. Phillips Thomas,research engineer of an Indianapoliselectric company. The method wouldbe especially effective in communi-cation between the ground andplanes in the air, he pointed out, as-serting a message could be inter-cepted only by cutting into the beamdirected at the plane. Other elec-trical developments demonstratedwere a "sterilamp" which he ex-plained would destroy all germsIn a given confined area, such as ahospital operating room, and a"black light" which produces vari-ous colors.

Elephant on DietWaddy, 70-year-old elephant at

HEALTH and BEAUTYWALKING

The fish in the darkness ofMammoth Cave lost their sight be-cause they did not use their eyes.Wiil the next generation of menand women have weak spindlinglegs which can scarcely sustaintheir weight? If the present styleof using automobiles for takingthem everywhere that they want togo continues, the probability isthat the legs of the Americans willdegenerate for the want of use.

Our parents and grandparentsthought nothing of walking to andfrom school, which was sometimesa distance of several miles. Theyhad a grand and glorious time stu-dying along in groups, shoutingand playing through the forestpaths and along the roadsides. Lifewas more simple then and therewere not so many neurothenic^spending their time going fromone hospital to another, develop-ing a new symptoms at each place.

God gave us our underpinningto walk on. He did not intend tohave us rushing madly throughlife, scurrying hither and thitheron four wheels. Walking is thevery best of all around exercisethat there is. It develops the lungpowers, and sends the blood racingto every part of the body.

We see many men and womenwho are horribly out of sharefrom obesity. Most of them havebeen in the habit of riding every-

I where they go. and over-eating.j In time, this brings on degenera-!tion of the heart, liver, kidneys andI muscles.

The only remedy is to eat les?and begin walking a little at a

I time, incresaing the distance fromi day to day. If you are one of the*| unfortunate who are out of thehabit of walking, you will findyourself gasping for breath at theslightest exercise, especially when

] ascending a hill.' Do not let this discourage you;i stop and rest now and then. Keep1 up your walking every day, you; will find yourself growing strong-I er, and if you are overweight you| wiil begin to lose that excess bag-g a g e , for that is what it is. Every'. pound of surplus fat is like car-I rying that much of a pack onyour back. It exhausts your ener-gies and impedes your progress,not only in walking but in travel-ing the road of life.

Walk for your health, and youwill soon find that you are a pe-destrian for the pure love of it, forthe exhilaration nd joy you getout of it. Nature will take on anew beauty as you give yourselftime to get acquainted with her.

Ameche In Most Colorful Role

Lone Dweller inCabin Comfortable

Enjoys Best ConveniencesCreated by Wealth.

FITTSTOWN, OKLA. — UncleAndy Harden. 85, views with con-cern the approach of cool weather.Autumn temperatures will preventhim from using his three-ton air con-ditioning unit, just installed in hislog cabin this summer, until nextJune rolls around.

Uncle Andy, who became wealthyseveral years ago when oil in thefamed Fitts pool was struck on hisland, has lived in the log cabin for57 years.

He had scorned all but a few mod-ern conveniences until he suc-cumbed to last July's heat and Uiepersuasiveness of. a salesman, andbought the air conditioning unit.

He was a little skeptical at first,friends say, but now admits he likesthe "contraption."

Its greatest convenience, UncleAndy asserts, is that it allows himto stay at home on hot summerdays. Staying at home has becomealmost a fetish with Uncle Andy.In 1934, when his 285-acre farm wasin the midst of the spectacular Fittspool oil play,'lease brokers hauntedhis little cabin.

Uncle Andy permitted the oil com-pany lo drill on most of his land,

ut when they insisted on offeringlim $100,000 for the 10 acres on.•hich his cabin stood, the old pio-icer balked.

"They ain't going to drill on this0 acres and I ain't going to moveiff," he declared. "They ain't and

ain't."Uncle Andy has been a millwright

by trade all his life, and takes pridein the things he has built with hisown hands. That's why, he says, heloves his cabin.

He built the structure in 1882, cut-ting his own logs from nearby for-ests and shaping the native stonefor the huge rock fireplace andchimney at one end of the cabin.

When oil made him one of therichest men in oil-rich Pontotoccounty, Uncle Andy still refused tobow to modern devices or to leavehis little cabin. His' only conces-;ions were mechanical refrigera-ion and an automobile.When engineers began installing

the large air conditioning apparatusn the old cabin last summer, they

were amazed to find that it neededittle repair to accommodate the

machinery.A little lean-to, built on one side

of the structure to house the ap-paratus, and some extra "chicking"between the huge logs, were all thatwas needed for the installation.
