Sterner Explains 'Missing' Paper
Questions Fairness of First Hearing Conducted
by Hines.
Defense Councils of Belmar Boros To Launch Drive for Scrap Aluminum
TRENTON—The inference that a paper in the right-of-way files of the state highway department had been discarded because of the inquiry into the department’s affairs by Governor Edison was answered yesterday by Highway Commissioner E. Donald Sterner. The commissioner, in a news statement which he declared explained the department’s attitude toward the first hearing conducted by Examiner Roger Hinds, questioned the fairness of the first hearing and said he would continue to issue statements regarding the inquiry if highway department employes “are denied any opportunity to state their side of the case.”
His statement follows:“While I was led to believe that
subpoenas would not be used and ‘Star Chamber’ proceedings would be tabooed in the investigation of the highway department,” Commissioner Sterner said, “it developed in the very first hearing last Friday that Mr. Vollmer, our department title officer, was subpoenaed and not allowed counsel or even permitted to explain his discarding of a bookmark. I certainly cannot agree that this type of investigation, denying the democratic right of defense, is a fair and impartial investigation. Since the witnesses at the hearings are apparently to be denied any opportunity to state their side of the case, I shall issue news releases giving our explanation from time to time as the investigation proceeds.
“When Mr. Hinds first called on me last Tuesday,” Mr. Sterner continued, “I assured him of our complete cooperation and asked just where he and his staff wanted to start in their investigation. He replied they were not interested in any specific phase of our operation. That since the Senate had refused to allow him to name his own commissioner, Governor Edison had decided that the appointment of an investigator and staff of assistants was the only way to check the operations of the highway department. Mr. Hinds then again repeated his previous statement to the press, ‘we are starting with an absolute blank slate on which the facts will write the story.’
“Wednesday morning, Elmer Bert- man and other investigators from Mr. Hinds’ office called on our chief engineer, Mr. Logan, and finally decided that they would like to study our procedure on right of way acquisition,” the commissioner continued. “Mr. Logan introduced them to Mr. Vollmer, whom they requested to pick out a case at random. Mr. Vollmer selected the Charles N. Clark property on Route 28, embodying a ninety-page file, including four outside appraisals, deeds, searches, etc., where we had negotiated for over two months before reaching a settlement, due to the damages we caused in practically destroying their farm through which we .are building Route 28, involving nearly twelve acres of dairy meadow land and severing a Grade ‘A ’ dairy plant, sewage system and electric lines.
“As Mr. Vollmer was turning the pages of the file explaining to Mr. Bertman our procedure as provided under the New Jersey right of way laws, he came across a bookmark, which he advises me contained some file numbers made by some highway employe last year when making up the case. Realizing its unimportance, he crumbled it up and threw it in his waste basket. I cannot understand how Mr. Bertman, as an investigator, could have read as he claims at the hearing ‘see what you can do for. . . .’ and yet did not pick up the paper or even ask to see it then or Wednesday afternoon, but waited until the following day after the janitors had emptied the waste baskets in the state highway department offices.
“However, in the future, I have instructed all employes to not throwaway any bookmarks or slips of paper no matter how insignificant

A drive to collect scrap aluminum and other metals considered vital to national defense will start Monday in Belmar and South Belmar under the direction of the defense councils of the two boroughs. Similar drives will be inaugurated throughout New Jersey on the same day and will continue until July 29.
Harry Pflug, chairman of the Belmar defense council, reported today that Arthur Travers had been named to direct Belmar Boy Scouts in making a house to house canvass.
George Martin, chairman of the South Belmar defense unit, said members of the council there would begin the collection tomorrow.
Aluminum and other items collected will be weighed free of charge by
waste material dealers and will be shipped to approved refineries to be sold for production of war materials. Checks for the material will be returned to the defense councils and then in turn sent to the state defense council for tabulation. All of the money thus raised will be turned over to the national civilian defense organization of which Mayor LaGuardia of New York is chairman, and it will be returned to the various towns to defray expenses of defense activities which are undertaken for civilian welfare and safety.
The latter plan has not been formu- later in detail, but Washington advices state that a block by block defense program for civilians is planned along the seaboard.

Breslin Gift, Tag Day Nets Squad $214 More
Despite a $25 gift last week and a net profit of $189 on the tag day held July 5, the ambulance fund campaign of the Belmar First Aid squad is still lagging, the squad’s campaign committee reported yesterday.
Mr. and Mrs. Pat Breslin, operators of a fishing and boat-rental stand at the Marine basin, set aside all the receipts from last Friday’s business as a donation to the squad and turned over to William Briden, chairman of the campaign committee, a $25 donation.
The tag day netted an additional $189 to boost the total higher, but the $5,000 goal is still a long way off, Mr. Briden said, as he urged the public to make their donations now.
Kansas City Monarchs Oppose Braves Tonight
The Belmar Braves face their first opposition from the mid-west tonight when the Kansas City Monarchs, now making their eastern trip, invade Memorial field for a battle under the floodlights at 9 p. m.
The Braves have been losing out to the weather man this month, three games being cancelled because of rain, but the season should take on new life now that the weather is average out and the professional teams which play Belmar hit their stride.
Tuesday night’s game will also be a July headlight since it marks the return of the House of David.
The Kansas City Monarchs represent the Negro American league, a cir- suit similar to the Negro National league which operates in the East.
One of the best games ever played at Memorial field was staged Tuesday night when the Braves lost to the Memphis Red Sox 6 to 0 in 12 innings after Bill Sahlin had pitched 11 hitless innings. Belmar failed to come through in the clutch in the seventh and tenth innings when it had scoring chances and then a three-run double in the 12th, the first Memphis got off Sahlin, caused the roof to fall in. “Double Duty” Radcliff, manager of the Red Sox, fanned 21 Belmar batters in a pitching performance overshadowed only by Sahlin’s perfect tossing. Roy Henville and Art Hines, shore boys, played with the Braves.A drive to collect delinquent real
estate and personal taxes was ordered by the South Belmar council Tuesday night.
Following a report by Richard O.Riggs, chairman of the council’s tax committee, that the July 1 deadline set for payment of overdue property taxes had been passed, as well as a 15-day period of grace, with some of the outstanding taxes paid but others still owing, Councilman Charles Schulz urged that foreclosure proceedings be begun at once.
Councilman R. J. Connolly said he felt the taxes would be paid by August 1 and asked for an extension for delinquents until that time, which was granted by the council with the understanding that action would be taken if the arrears were not made up by that time. | River, Brielle and Freeport tuna clubs
Mayor Frank Herbert then asked [ each have a leg, heads the list. This what was to be done about the per- i trophy must be won three times for sonal taxes which was owing the bor- permanent possession.

ough, some since 1937.Borough Attorney Elvin Simmill
urged passage of a resolution instructing Mrs. Belle Woolley, the collector, to collect the taxes at once, calling on the police department or Mr. Simmill to assist in the collection if necessary.
Such a resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mayor Herbert said he had attended a conference with State Highway Commissioner E. Donald Sterner relaifflve to the plan to resurface Seventeenth avenue, pointing out the borough was less than $200 short of the full price of the work, according to the bids received at a meeting two weeks ago.
The mayor said Commissioner Sterner had promised to investigate to see if the highway department could help out so the borough would not have to declare an emergency to appropriate the small amount necessary to make up the difference between the appropriation in the budget and the estimates for the job.
Fred Cappel, Ripley lane, appeared to protest the lack of surface drainage facilities at the end of Briarwood and Pine terraces, a situation which floods his and adjacent properties every time there is a heavy rain storm.
A WPA project was worked out several years ago to install storm drains and catch basins in the area, Mayor Herbert said, but the project fell through. He added that he felt the problem was of an emergency and the council, after the area was investigated and a plan worked out, could vote an emergency appropriation to take care of the work needed there.
The mayor reported that the Borough of Belmar was resurfacing Sixteenth avenue, the dividing line between the two municipalities, and he had reached an agreement with Commissioner Carl Schroeder, Belmar, to have that municipality do the work with South Belmar paying its share of the cost.
A communication from the Shore U.S.O. asked that Mayor Herbert serve on the honorary committee and name an active worker to head the drive in South Belmar.
He told council he would hold up any appointment until he had an opportunity to ascertain if Belmar was going to have a drive, and if so, felt that South Belmar should work along with that one rather than the Shore organization in Asbury Park.
Charles Lang was admitted to the South Belmar fire company.
Other awards, to be won for keeps the first time, include the Borough of Belmar trophy (heaviest individual fish); winning team cup; McLoughlin award (outstanding angling achievement) ; heaviest fish per thread of line; daily heaviest fish cups; Armstrong plaque (Heaviest fish on 15-thread line), and captain’s plaque, for the skipper of the craft on which the heaviest fish of the tournament is boated.
The 75-pound minimum eligibility rule will again apply, arid tournament anglers are determined to improve on the situation of last season when there were more trophies than fish.
A number of anglers from tournament clubs will compete in the Bailey Island and Ipswich Bay tournaments. Both events incidentally came into being as a result of the U. S. A. T. T.’s investigation of these ports last fall as possible sites for its 1941 contest. A majority of tournament clubs voting to fish at Belmar again, the New Englanders decided to hold tournaments under local sponsorship. It will be interesting to see if the jinx which has beset tuna tournaments generally will extend itself to these additions to the field. On the other hand, the concentration of anglers and chum in these waters, which are known as sporadic producers of really big fish, may well result in a new tuna record.
FITKIN STAFF REPORTBirths at Fitkin hospital continue
to show a steady increase. The record for June shows 75 births for 1941 as compared with 65 for the same month in 1940. There were 466 admissions for June, 1941 against 451 for June, 1940. With this steady increase, additional service is necessary in all departments.
The surgical staff reports 249 operations for the month, the pathological department completed 4,950 laboratory tests, and the X-ray department took 216 pictures.
A total of 5,167 patients days care was given during the month of June, of which 3,082 was rendered to ward patients. There were 54 accident cases admitted and 1,880 treatments given in the various clinics of the Out Patient department during the month.

BOROUGH ORDERS MACLEARIE TO ACT
ON WATSON SIGNSOrders Complaint Before
Madigan as Controversy on Beachfront Display
Comes to a Head.Belmar commissioners, having failed
by threats and coaxing to settle the question of illegal signs on the stand o f Billy Watson at Fourth and Ocean, avenues, Tuesday ordered Building Inspector Peter Maclearie to file a complaint before Recorder Thomas C_ Madigan against Isabella Kelliher and Anna Martin, owners of the ground m which the stand is located. It is understood the two women named in the: complaint are related to Watson.
Commissioner Edward F. Lyman offered a resolution prepared by Solicitor Joseph Silverstein instructing Mac— learie to act under provisions of the sign ordinance which was violated: when the signs were erected without permits. The signs were placed thereby the Coca Cola company, and Silver- stein said a letter to the firm had been ignored. Watson had previously told, the commission he could not afford the? cost of removing the signs, and offered to let the borough send its employees there to do the job.
Mrs. Donald McGregor, whose complaint regarding the Watson sign and others on the beach, precipitated the sign controversy, was present at the; meeting.
Mayor Leon T. Abbott asked whether Maclearie had made a report ore other signs on the beachfront, but the latter was not present. At the time the controversy started the commission amended its sign ordinance byresolution to restrict the area of signs, and the copy.
Commissioner Carl W. Schroeder reported that Thomas Procter, contractor on the sewage disposal plant at Eighth and Ocean avenues* had been asked to move any equipment no longer necessary for the job. The. work was carried over into the summer, he said, because of the delay in obtaining materials.
The commission asked Silverstein to examine a contract with the Jersey Central Power and Light company fo r power at the plant and to amend it to' require “continuous” service. Mayor Abbott cited the shut-down of service in Belmar two weeks ago for five hours when a transformer burned out: and said that continuous power service at the disposal plant was necessary for public health.
The solicitor was instructed to notify the owner of the property at 208 Tenth avenue, which has been damaged by fire, that the building must be removed within 30 days.
Photos of Railroad square, taken after a recent rain, were displayed t o the commission to show the need fo r improvements. Mayor Abbott said another meeting with the railroad has been called to insist upon repairs t o the plaza, which he termed “the m ost objectionable road situation in the* borough”.
The Amerioan Legion auxiliary received permission to hold a card party in a beachfront pavilion July 29.

R E FU SA L OF COMMISSIONER E. W . GARRETT to permit brewery advertisements on pay envelopes should put an end to such ideas. Prohibition stemmed from such practices as this and those who would resort to the scheme can be sure that they are doing the cause of repeal a great deal of harm by merely suggesting it.
SENATOR W H E E LE R and associates are entitled to their views regarding America’s foreign policy, and so long as they Tespect the rights of others to disagree with them they will have ample opportunity to oppose any policy which they be- Jieye sincerely is against the nation’s interest. They must, liowever, call a halt to the practice of predicting, on the basis o f “reliable sources,” movements of American forces, whether they be to Iceland or even within our own borders. This is dangerously close to sedition and in the light of a proclamation of unlimited national emergency it is just cause for rebuke.
D O G D A Y S . . .
HOT and sultry summer days are often called dog days, which should be a reminder to dog owners that the best
■means of caring for their pets and also saving some one from a dog bite is to keep the dog in a cool spot and not allow it to roam, especially in town where summer traffic is heavy.
D R A F T RU M O RS . . .
A S the machinery of the Selective Service act continues to operate the same old reports that developed during the
.last war regarding favoritism in the draft are heard. This applies throughout the country, not in any single area, and ©n the basis of experience in reporting the various draft calls there is little evidence to justify them.
In fairness to men who serve on draft boards, and who devote many hours each week to their jobs, the government .should publish the classification of all men in the draft. This would end many of the unfair rumors and protect the men
"who have volunteered to serve on the local boards. It would lead to further uniformity in classification, as against the present picture where some boards defer all married men ■while in other districts men are considered single if their wives and children are not entirely dependent upon them.
T H E H IG H W A Y IN Q U IR Y . . .l^rO R M A L L Y the investigation of a governmental agency
gets underway with bitter words or a court battle. Not so in the current inquiry by Governor Edison into the administration of the state highway department. The governor has named an examiner who expresses a desire to confine the inquiry to facts and promises that he has no intention of engagin g in a witch-hunt. In reply Commissioner Sterner offers complete cooperation, declares all records will be made available, and says highway employes will answer all questions without requiring the usual subpena.
If the inquiry follows these lines it seems reasonable to ask th at it be carried out promptly, without undue delay and without heavy counsel fees. Too often the public has found th at fees paid to counsel in such inquiries are far out of proportion to the work involved. The public learned the lesson « f counsel fees set by the courts after the bank closings, when a small group of lawyers wound up with huge fees and depositors got comparatively little.
C A N A D A ’S W A R RECO RD . . . 'sr|_’H ERE are more than ten times as many people in the ■*■ United States as there are in Canada, but tire Dominion
to the north has gone “all out” in its aid to Britain, and the part that it has played in this war, which it entered of its own volition after free debate, is an important contribution to the fight Britain is now making against Hitler.
Canada’s 250,000 men in active service would be equivalent to an armed force of 2,750,000 in the United States, without including the home defense units. This year Canada will spend 40 percent of its national income which amounts to nearly 6 billions while our national income is expected to be 80 billions. This would equal Lend-Lease aid to Britain of about 30 billions in the United States.
Canada has also contributed $500,000,000 to finance Britain’s war purchases, and another billion will be provided next year for the same purpose. All this is in addition to the job the Canadian navy is doing in convoy work and the air training plan which provides technicians and pilots for duty abroad.

A SAMPLE OF SCENIC CHARMS—Monmouth is a land of rare natural beauty, carefully cultivated and preserved by appreciative men and women. There are woods and hills and rushing brooks, and rivers that expand into great broad bays as they near confluence with the sea. Here is variety such as may be found scarcely .anywhere else in the world—spreads of level fields, luxuriantly cropped with grains and garden goods; long-aisled orchards heavily hung with luscious fruits;wide strands of soft, white seashore sand; vistas of lush green meadows; rolling hills and mountains in miniature at the ocean’s very edge.
Its streams are bridged in beauty, too. Its viaducts are not merely means of connecting shore to shore but creations of qualities which are joys forever. The bridge in the picture above, spanning the Shrewsbury from Oceanic to Locust, is as delightful to look at as it is to use. Westward from its deck the river’s green banks are jewelled with great estates and eastward, over the dancing waters, stand high the richly forrested hills of Navesink. The bend in the road at the north end of this beautiful bridge is a spot of loveliness that few motorists pass without slowing or stopping to enjoy an exhilirating surprise in land and seascape.

Catholic InformationLots of saints, according to the Ca
tholics. Saints to whom to pray. Saints after whom churches, colleges, and whatnot are named. Saints with relics to veenrate. Saints with feast days to celebrate. Saints with pictures, statues, medals and the like. What nonsense!
Lots of heroes in American history. Heroes to emulate. Heroes after whom we name our states, cities, towns and public buildings. Heroes with birthdays to celebrate. Heroes with pic
tures, statues, U. S. stamps and currency to commemorate their deeds. Is this nonsense too?
Yet the cases are parallel with the one exception that Catholics pray to the saints. We do not pray to pictures or statues, but only to the saints of which these images remind us. We do not adore the saints, but in honoring and praising them, we please God, who has definitely designated many of these heroes of Christianity, as His Owne beloved in heaven, to whom we may give public devotion and ask their intercession in our prayers.
Definitely designated by God! We say this advisedly, because the identity of each saint is no haphazard guess. No soul is canonized (declared a saint) by Mother Church until, through that soul’s intercession, at least two miraculous cures have been performed—cures of organic diseases which the Congregation of Rites passes upon as being impossible of cure by any means known to medical science.
Thus the saint in heaven fulfills his part in “The Communion of Saints” by listening to our prayers and by carrying to God the worthy pleas of our poor, weak humanity.
God alone we adore. Jesus Christ is our sole Mediator. But we can ask our friends on earth and God’s friends in Heaven to pray for us, which interferes not in the least with the many prayers we say directly to God.
If any non-Catholic thinks that our doctrine of the Communion of Saints is strange, let him remember that more than two-thirds of all Christendom has believed and acted upon this doctrine for 1900 years. Let him remember also that from the first century to the sixteenth, this beautiful and devotional creed permeated all of Christianity.
Remember, too, that we are ever willing and eager to furnish you with information on any Catholic subject. Just write to: Catholic Information Society, Box 163, Belmar.

“Life” is the lesson-sermon subject for Sunday, July 20, in all Christian Science churches and societies throughout the world.
The Golden Text is: “The Lord will command his loving kindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.” (Psalms 42:8).
Among the lesson-sermon citations is the following from the Bible: “ . . . He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” (John 5:24).
The lesson-sermon also’ includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Life is the origin and ultimate of man, never attainable through death, but gained by walking in the pathway of Truth both before and after that which is called death.” (p. 487).

Ruth Kohn Home Officially Opened
Belmar Residence Provides Vacation tor Mothers
and Children.The annual open house and pantry
shower of the Ruth Kohn summer home at 204 Fifth avenue was conducted Tuesday afternoon with more than 100 persons attending. The affair marks the official opening of this home which was founded in memory of Ruth Kohn for working mothers and their children recommended from authorized agencies of Newark.

The home is maintained for a period of 10 weeks accommodating more than 150 people during the entire summer. Activities include swimming, movie treats, children’s and mother’s entertainment and the “highlight” for each group, the surprise farewell party.
Miss Ida Miller is director of the house assisted by Miss Freda Brown and Miss Ann Pearlman.
The Ruth Kohn members and friends met at Deal Casino Tuesday afternoon preceding the open house party. After the luncheon Mrs. Paul Berkely, the former Janice Lifson of Elizabeth, gave an exhibition of high board diving.
Mrs. Alfred Rachlin, Mrs. Sheridan Scheehner and Miss Miller greeted the guests later in the afternoon at the home.
Other members of the committee include Miss Hattie Kohn, shore reception chairman; Mrs. Martin Spitalanny, Mrs. Emil Miller, Mrs. Louis Stern, Mrs. Clarence Kohn, Mrs. Seymour Gross, Mrs. Leon Rothchild.

Church To Mark 68th Anniversary
Drs. Sloan and Laird To Be Heard at- Methodist
Services.Dr. Harold Paul Sloan of the Chris
tian Advocate and Dr. John W. Laird of Philadelphia will be the morning and evening speakers, respectively, this Sunday at the 68th anniversary services of the First Methodist church.
Dr. Sloan is well known throughout the United States as an outstanding pulpiteer in the Methodist church. Dr. Laird, a professor at Temple university School of Theology, is a former pastor of the First Methodist church, New Haven, Conn. Both of these speakers are master preachers and offer a splendid opportunity to church going vacationists in this section. Dr. Sloan is also an annual speaker at the summer services in the Ocean Grove auditorium.
The Methodist church is Belmar’s oldest church organization, the first building being erected in 1873 at Tenth avenue and D street. The present edifice at Seventh avenue and D street was built in 1903 under the pastorate of the Rev. Daniel Lyon, who has for years been a summer resident of Belmar. Recent improvements of redecoration, new pulpit furniture has taken place under the leadership of the present preacher, th Rev. Lawrence G. Atkinson.
The morning service will begin at 11 o’clock and the evening service, known as the “Pleasant Twilight Hour” starts at eight o’clock.
Archie Erving of Belmar will be guest violinist at the evening service and the combined choirs of the church, Composed of 55 voices, will sing under the direction of George H.
DR. HAROLD PAUL SLOAN
Hessler, who will also favor with organ selections as prelude to both the morning and evening services.
The general public is invited to these anniversary services.
Alterations Completed At A&P F Street Store
Alterations to the interior of the Atlantic and Pacific self-service market at Ninth avenue and F street were being completed today.
Carried on without interference to summer business, the alterations were undertaken to increase efficiency of the store and speed up the checking out of customers, according to F. H. Knapp of Manasquan, supervisor of self service stores.

Slices of Life at Fort DixPrivate Gay Szabo, who is sta
tioned at Fort Dix, was restricted to the limits of the post recently, but to pass the time decided to take a stroll. He walked at a leisurely pace for a few hours and came face to face with his Top Sergeant on South Broad street in Trenton.
“ Szabo! Don’t you know you’re restricted?”
“Sure, Sergeant. I ’m just walking to the boundary of the reservation.”Please. . ..
Several new selectees were undergoing a bit of rifle drill the other day. The drill sergeant gave the command, “Port Arms,” and everyone approximated the position. Suddenly the sergeant walked up to a private and said, “Hey, soldier, where’s the balance of your rifle?” The private looked at his gun in bewilderment and then replied, “But, Sarg, this is all they gave me.”Complaint. . . .
The fact that selectees are not responsible for their military knowledge is demonstrated by the following incident. A new selectee was walking to his barracks when he passed an officer, resplendent in uniform. The selectee looked him full in the eye, kept walking without even a suggestion of a salute. The officer walked up to the selectee, tapped him on the shoulder and said, “Do you see this uniform ?” The selectee looked at the
uniform and then replied, “What are you kicking about, buddy. Look what they gave me.”High Humidity. . . .
Recently Southern New Jersey, in which Fort Dix is situated, was favored with a rainy season. A soldier, late of a less rugged life, was walking through the wet, misty morning when an officer stopped him. “What’s the matter, soldier? Can’t you walk any faster?” “Sir,” he answered dully, “I ’m waterlogged.”Visitors. . . .
Visitors who come to Fort Dix looking for Joe Dokes without knowing what unit he is assigned to, or whether he is in the regular army, a selectee or a member of the National Guard, are driving several men at Fort Dix to a state bordering on madness. The personnel of the post wish there were some way to inform people that Fort Dix is not only an army post, but also a big city with a population of 30,000 inhabitants. In addition, the reservation covers more than 100,000 acres, which makes it bigger than an ordinary city.
So—the next time someone asks for Joe Dokes, and is not even sure how to spell his name, a death is threatened at Fort Dix. Either a soldier will commit suicide or a visitor will mysteriously pass away. Either way, it is felt, the resulting publicity should impress on visitors the necessity for knowing to what unit a soldier friend is assigned before trying to visit him.
LETTERS of a DRAFTEE
FORT DIX—Visiting at the 1229th Reception Center, Fort Dix, can be a pleasant or annoying experience depending on your solving the problems involved. There are many thousands of men at Fort Dix and usually more than one thousand in the four companies of the Reception Center. So accurate knowledge facilitates locating the soldier or soldiers you hope to see.
The roads to Fort Dix are plainly marked if you are in the vicinity. Once within the reservation limits there are enough M. Ps. (military police with the white and blue armbands) who will gladly direct you to the Reception Center.
At this point it is well to mention the company in which the soldier is located. Some selectees are located in tents (Company H) and others in barracks nearly a mile away (Companies A, B and C).
On Saturdays and Sundays each company has a traffic detail (which I drew this weekend instead of a pass to go home). These men, usually designated by a white or red armband, are stationed to help you.
They are a subsidiary of the guard and the guard specifically executes the direct orders of the commanding officers. So it is well to obey these men v/ho have orders they must enforce. They are instructed to be courteous but firm with visitors and to be helpful in locating friends of the visitor.
The personnel of the Reception Center changes at least in part, every week so don’t expect a man on traffic duty to know the exact location of every other man in the Reception Center.
One young lady asked me, “Where is the 44th Division?" I asked her what part of the division but she did not know. I explained that there are enough men in the division to populate a city under New Jersey law and it would be most difficult to find him without further information.
A man asked me if I knew Joe who was tall, thin, had dark hair, came from Brooklyn on Thursday. Somehow Joe’s last name had slipped the visitor’s mind as had Joe’s company letter.
These two people were serious in trying to find these men and were sadly disappointed. Not having any idea of the size of Fort Dix, they expected to locate their friends easily.
If the exact address is not at hand when you arrive at Dix, sometimes Battalion headquarters is open and you may be able to find your soldier’s company by asking there. Then go to the company headquarters and find what barracks he is in.
Then your search may have just begun because, for instance, I may be on K. P. as I was twice last week, or out on traffic detail as over the weekend.
In the evening the soldiers may be attending the free shows in the reception hall and the name of the man who has guests will be announced over the loudspeaker. There is a movie show half a mile away on the post or there are sodas to be bought at the Post Exchange. And if the soldier is not then located you had better go back to the barracks and start looking again.
The other night I ran into Earl Stanton of The Newark Evening News. He has been “selected” and is over in Company B. Earl tells me he used to spend his summers in Belmar. He has been here since June 10 but our paths did not cross until last week at the P.X.
Chet Decker, national gliding champion, is also over in B company as a selectee. He hopes to bring his own plane down here to keep his “hand in” flying.
George Carver’s and Jim Catalano’s papers were addressed to the Reception Center July 4. I hope you have new addresses for them by now. Both have been assigned elsewhere.
Stanton and several other newspapermen like myself, have been held here some weeks. Perhaps the same assignment is awaiting all of us.
It was flattering to see my name in the picture of the Haberstick Bowling Alley Honor List.

Silver Lake Weeds Stymie SchroederThe question of what to do about
the weeds in Silver lake has Commissioner Carl Schroeder stymied.
He told the borough commission Tuesday that weeds had been raked from the lake surface, but the roots are still there and there is only one way of killing them, by using chemicals.
“If we do that,” he sighed, “we’ll kill some of the fish, which is just what happened before, so it’s a case of killing the fish and getting rid of the weeds, or keeping the fish and putting up with the weeds.”
No one shared his perplexity until he added: “You know that water is stagnant.”
This brought a rise from Commissioner Edward Lyman, who lives along the lake.
“That’s not stagnant,” protested Lyman, “That’s what you call a ’still pond’.”
“Pretty strong adjective,” chimed in
Mayor Abbott.“Well, I’ll grant the exception,” con
cluded Schroeder, without getting any help from his colleagues as to what to do about the weeds.

Service Inaugurated by Dr. McConnell Will Begin
at St. Rose Church.The annual novena in honor of St.
Anne begins at St. Rose’s church to- might at 8 and closes Saturday evening, July 26 at 8. The preacher for the novena is Rev. Raymond B. Bour- goin, M.A., S.T.B. of the Diocese of Eall River, Mass.
Inaugurated during the time when .Dr. William McConnell was pastor of St. Rose’s church, the novena in honor o f St. Anne has grown in popularity each year. Dr. McConnell has a particular love for St. Anne because it was on the feast of St. Anne, July 26, 1896 when Dr. McConnell was ordained to the priesthood at the Royal Imperial -university, Innsbruck, Australia. As another indication of his love for St. Anne, Dr. McConnell erected a beautifu l shrine in the Church of St. Rose. The shrine is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. O’Reilly.
The most famous shrine in honor of St. Anne on this continent is in Canada at Beaupre. Yearly, the number of pilgrims to this international shrine increases and now numbers nearly a iialf million during the novena. Numberless miracles have been attributed 'to her intercession. At Beaupre can ibe seen countless evidences of miraculous cures effectedd uring the course of yars. In ijnportance, the shrine at ISemapr-e ranks next to that of Lourdes.
The great power of St. Anne, the Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is observed likewise in the many places throughout the world where devotion to 'h er is fostered. Each year the no- vena held in St. Rose’s church brings news o f further evidences of her intercessory power with Almighty God.
Beginning tonight services will be Meld each evening at 8 until and including Saturday, July 26th, the Feast o f St.-Anne. Special prayers, sermon, ■veneration of the relic, Benediction of the Most Sacred Sacrament will be followed by confessions.
M OVIES TO BE SH O W N A T UNION SERVICE
At the union church service Sunday night at 8 o’clock in the Thirteenth avenue pavilion a talking motion picture portraying the story of “The IProdigal Son” will be shown. The picture is produced by the Cathedral company of Hollywood which specializes in religious services. The finest technical skill is used in making the pictures and trained actors play the parts.
Dr. Stewart McLennon, formerly pastor of the Hollywood Presbyterian church, gave up his important charge to become an officer in this film company, feeling he had been called to the mew field of labor with its limitless possibilities. The company plans to supply churches throughout the land ■on regular schedules with pieturiza- Wons of the Bible stories.
The picture to be shown Sunday describes in picturesque manner the ad- ■ventures of the prodigal son in squandering his heritage, and his eventual return to a loving and forgiving father. The film is all talking with a musical background. The public is cordially invited. The Rev. Osborne
L. Schumpert, will show thefilm.
How telephone service is being maintained in Great Britain, in the face of assault from the air, is described in a recent statement by the British Postmaster General published in the Post, a publication of the Union of Post Office Workers in England.
The Postmaster General states frankly that cable plant has been damaged and service thereby hampered; additional evidence of this is contained in a recent report that the vol-
cables are reached, their repair is not a simple matter of connecting a single broken link; each pair of wires in the cable—which may contain from 200 up to 1,000 pairs—has to be joined through again, and very often in one bomb crater there may be several such cables to be repaired. The full force of the Post Office organization is being concentrated on this important work of reinstating damaged cables.
“The effect of damage on the corn-
time of trading on the London stock market has been restricted by the lack of adequate telephone facilities. However, the principal news is that millions of calls are going through every day. Telephone people here, it is thought, will be interested in the Postmaster General’s report, which says:
“ The vast network of the telephone system is no less vulnerable to enemy air attack than are other public utility services, but the main switching and operating centers of the system have not suffered any widespread damage. The underground cable plant which
.connects these switching centers has, however, suffered damage in common with the plant of other utility undertakings; hut in spite of the loss of trained Post Office engineering personnel to the Forces, the repairs are being rapidly pushed forward.
W o rk On D u rin g A ir R a id s“Air raids themselves are not al
lowed to interfere with this work of reconstruction, but immediate access to the damaged plant is not always possible, owing to the presence of debris, burst water mains, and other obstacles. Even when the damaged
plex system of telephone junction cables in a large city is to make it difficult, and in some cases impossible, to connect calls which in normal circumstances could be readily completed. This in turn throws an exceptionally heavy burden on the operators, who themselves are working under the conditions of night air attacks. With the temporary destruction of cables, the channels open to the operators are reduced, and they consequently find it difficult to maintain that rapid speed of answer which th4 pubP.; rightly expect in peacetime. The difficulties are accentuated during air raids, more particularly at night, as the operator, after spending some time in endeavoring to set up a call, not infrequently finds that either the caller or the person called is in a refuge remote from tie leiepliong.
“ The work of reconstruction has been assisted by the temporary release from the Army of trained Post Office engineering staff, and the public should realize that, despite all difficulties, about 30,000,000 local calls a week are at present being connected in London alone, in addition to about 300,000 long distance and toll calls “a week originated by London subscribers.’

Citizens Urged To Buy Coal Now
Transportation System Will Be Over-Burdened
Next Winter.WASHINGTON—Citizens of New
-Jersey are urged by Dr. Luther Harr, Bituminous Coal Consumer Counsel, in an appeal to Governor Edison and the New Jersey section of the National Conference of Mayors, to buy coal now for next winter to avert a nationwide ■shortage later. Dr. Harr said expanding defense demands will soon overburden the country’s transportation system, that if coal is bought now mew supplies may be moved from the mines before shortages develop.
The Bayonne refinery of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey will receive the first shipment of crude oil sent to the east coast in railroad tank cars in recent years. Although railroad shipment costs are higher, Defense Petroleum Coordinator Ickes asked that oil companies utilize all rail facilities to avert a critical shortage on the east coast ,and as a result of his request the Standard Oil Company ordered the 25 carloads brought to New Jersey from Lima, Ohio.
A report on ^defense housing construction in New Jersey, according to Defense Housing Coordinator Palmer, showed that to date 401 units of 500 being built for workers at the New York Ship yards in Camden are ready or already occupied while 100 have been completed at Fort Dix. Units are under construction .at Clark township, Clifton, East Paterson, Long Branch, Newark, Pedricktown and Camden, while sites have not been acquired as yet for proposed developments at Cape May, Phillipsburg and Dover.
Presbyterian Pastor To Preach on "Love of God"
The Kev. OsbOrne L. Schumpert, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Ninth avenue and E street, has announced that he will preach the third in his summer series of messages at the 11 o’clock Sunday morning service. The theme will be “The Love of God” . The sermon will be a study of the book of Jonah and will analiz£ the causes that make men flee from God. The local minister will point out that men always flee from elements of the- love of God that clash with sinful desires.
At this morning service Dorothy ■Wilson Heulitt will sing “Hear My Cry, O Lord” by Wooler. Mildred Condit will be at the organ.
The nursery for the convenience of those who have children and yet want to attend church is firmly established. JSach Sunday Charlotte Thompson and Gloria Sherman are in charge and report a number of people taking ad- wantage of the arrangement. Others are invited to do likewise.

READER'S VERSEPeace steals in beside this window; Telltale breezes whisp’ring to me; Bringing me secrets from a far away
land;Hinting of stronger winds to blow. Pondering, I gaze out o’er the sea Watcning the bluish green waves Pound against the breakwater;The dancing whitecaps, the breakers As they wash in upon the shore Depositing driftwood and shells Of all description Along the beach.Hurrying back in rhythm
Ever searching for more.The steady, resonant breathing Of a living world of waters Controlled by King Neptune,Who, in a tempestous mood Throws the sea into a turmoil.The rhythmic rise and fall of its crest Then becomes a writhing mass Of gigantic waves, mountain high, Seething, swirling in an angry rage; Turning a muddy gray hue,Calling on all his fury;Caring not what damage is done; Inflicting injury at every breath, Thinking nothing of the lives he takes Of the men left drowning in his wake. But determined to have his own way, Like a spoiled child in a tantrum,
The outburst lasts Till his forces are exhausted,
His energy spent.Calm is once again commander And quite ashamed of his unruly
temperEmploys forces of a different nature; This time humbly begging remission,
Repentant and remorseful.He trys to reinstate himself,Going dejectedly back and forth Seeking the lovliest shells in his
kingdomTo lay at the feet of enthusiasts
To delight their hearts.Bringing great quantities of driftwood For the fishermen’s fires at night In Spring and Autumn when the surf
beckons.Compensation for misdemeanorsFrom the monarch of the sea.
Now merciless and cruel—Now tolerant and noble.
•—Jessie Aspinwall Woodruff.
Nearly a Million Telephones Added
The number of Bell System telephones in service increased 950,000 in 1940, the largest gain ever recorded in a single year, the annual report of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company discloses.
“The nation-wide universal telephone service needed for defense as well as for every-day business and social life is made possible,” the report states, “ by the interconnection of 17,484,000 Bell System telephones with more than4.375.000 telephones of some 6,400 connecting telephone companies and more than 60,000 rural or farmer lines.
“ The splendid co-operation between independently owned telephone companies and lines and the Bell system i's an essential factor in enabling anyone anywhere to pick up a telephone and talk to anyone else, anywhere else, clearly and quickly. Moreover, this cooperation is invaluable in marshalling the resources of the entire telephone industry in the interest of national defense.”
The average number of telephone conversations per day in 1940, was 79,303,000, over 5,500,000 more per day than in 1939.
Bell System employees n u m b e r322.000 at the end of the year, an increase of 24,900 over the end of 1939. Despite the addition and training of many thousands of new employees, the report says, and the necessity of caring for a record vloume of traffic and a record growth in telephones, the quality of the service not only did not suffer, but was on the whole improved. “ The average Bell telephone is in working order more than 99.98 per cent of the time, in spite of the complexity of the telephone instrument itself, the intricate switching, signaling and circuit mechanisms in the telephone central offices and on telephone lines, and the interruptions in service caused by sleet, wind, floods and lightning.”
To meet increased traffic, long distance facilities were extended in 1940 by abgut 500.000 cirguit miles M th| end of the year, about two-thirds of all long distance circuits were in cable. The long distance cable network, already some 20,000 miles long, extends over the Northeast and reaches south to Atlanta and as far west as Omaha and Fort Worth, Texas. In addition there is a considerable network between principal cities on the Pacific coast. Plans were advanced in 1940 ahead of schedule for the westward expansion of the long distance cable network beyond Omaha and' by the end of f941 it is expected that twin cables from Omaha to Denver will be ready for service.

Kiwanis HearsTree Surgeon
Eugene W alter Speaks on Care and Selection
| r of Trees.Advice on the care and selection of
trees, especially those planted for shade purposes, was given to members of the Belmar Kiwanis club Wednesday when Eugene Walter of Spring Lake, tree expert, was the speaker.
He listed the most popular trees along the seashore, explaining the species which grow favorably in this climate and prevailing soil conditions, and declared that most of the trouble encountered in raising trees was caused by lack of nourishment.
Six silver maples which were set out at the same time were tested, he said, and three which were fed grew 14 inchs in a year, while three which received no artificial nourishment showed a growth of only four inches.
Maple trees are most numerous in this area, he said, and rank with oak, sycamore and linden trees in providing the best shade.
Visitors at the meeting, held in Ri- verview tavern, included Terry McHugh, Montclair; Robert Poole, Trenton; Peter Hoffman, Pawtucket, R. I.; Frederick Elliott, Toledo; Allan Whor- ton, Beaver Falls, Pa.; Harold Anderson, Carbondale, Pa., and Harry R. Miller, Madison.
Porter Alden has been named as chairman of the committee to stage the club’s annual charity ball for the benefit of the underprivileged child fund.

Prepare Plans for W ar on Mosquitos
NEWARK—Preparations for an attack on anticipated panzer divisions of New Jersey mosquitoes were being rushed to completion today by State WPA Administrator Robert W. Allan. Recent heavy rains indicating heavy infestation soon are only part of the reason.
County mosquito extermination commission officials have convinced him, he said, that extermination projects are valuable to the defense program. On the other hand, the administrator continued, the fact that the defense program has brought many southerners to industrial New Jersey makes the work doubly necessary. Malaria is common in many parts of the South and a species of malaria-bearing mosquito has become increasingly common in this state.
Four counties are now in the midst of WPA-aided campaigns against the insect pests. These are Hudson, Middlesex, Essex and Bergen. In addition, the War Department has certified as a national defense undertaking a special campaign now under way around Raritan arsenal in Middlesex county.
Another certified project is about to begin in Monmouth county where WPA workers will put breeding spots out of action from Keyport to Long Branch for the benefit of residents and of soldiers at Forts Hancock and Monmouth.
A third mosquito defense project, in Hudson county, is awaiting approval. This undertaking would operate in addition to the present one in Hudson but would involve construction of tide gates, bulkheads, ditches, culverts, and other means for keeping the tidal meadows dry.
In connection with tl is work, De- Witt McCarter, superintendent of the Hudson County Mosquito Extermination commission, cited state agricultural experiment station records to show that the malariacarrying mosquito has been increasingly common in New Jersey since 1932 and called the increase “dangerous.” The official also remarked that all that is necessary for an outbreak of mosquito-borne disease is, first, the presence of the disease, and second, the presence of the mosquito.”

Morris County, was built by Ebenezer Byram between 1735 and 1745. Little is known of its early history but tradition states that the township and village was named Mendham because of a remark made by Byram, who when told of the nature of the neighbors among whom he had settled, asserted, “ I’ll
Mend ’Em.” However, it is said that some of the early inhabitants came from Mendham (now Mendum) Massachusetts. “ The Black Horse” has been operated as a tavern ever since the post road was built. It was in the vicinity of Mendham, in January 1781, that the mutiny o f the Pennsylvania Line occured.

THE COAST ADVERTISER, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1941 i Page 7
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To The Members of The Belmar Kiwanis Club. Gentlemen: I havejust returned to my barracks, after being in training for the past two weeks, in which time I learned how to march and hike—and learned the manual of arms with a rifle, including the first I ever laid my hands on. We drilled with a rifle for a week and then were taken out on the range for marksmanship but I won’t discuss that part. As we don’t get mail while training, I found on my return a copy of The Coast Advertiser for which X thank you very much, and I assure you the fellows up here enjoy reading the paper also. I like to tell them about Belmar and I try to bring some o f the fellows down whenever I do come home. Most of them are from the city and upper New York state so they do appreciate the Shore.
Thanking you again for your generosity, X remain
Respectfully yours,Pvt. JAMES V. CATALANO, Headquarters & Headqtrs. Co.
Reception Center,Fort Dix, N. J.
Fort Brogg, N. C.Relmar Kiwanis Club. Gentlemen:
Thank you for The Coast Advertiser. It is sure a pleasure to get some news from home for a change.
I don’t know how but now I’m in the 112th Horse Artillery assigned to Headquarters battery as a motorcycle messenger but all I’ve done since April is ride a horse in mud holes and ditches—in the woods and sand pits but never on the road. I’ve carried the mail a few times and been thrown too but I’m still here.
The Horse Artillery isn’t so bad—it is better than walking a darn mule like the saps across the gun park from ns do. It has the infantry beat a mile.
Do I like the army? Well did you ©ver get a week of K. P., then get a week of stable police nailed on top of that?
I would like it a lot better if I had the draft board down here to help me do that stable police. I’m so good they don’t want me to leave. They can get along without the captain for 10 days but all they can give me is a seventy- two-hour leave.
It is pretty good in Fort Bragg— you can never go any place but you see these boy scouts around—they got about 60,000 of them here now.
All kidding aside—it is pretty nice. The 112th is a National Guard outfit from New Jersey and I consider myself pretty lucky to be put in with them.
Thanks again for the paper. Will see you all In about a year, maybe.
So long,WILLIAM (Speck) McCONNELL.
Belmar Kiwanis Club. Gentlemen: "Words can but little express my -thanks for the copy of The Coast Advertiser which I received through the kindness of your organization.
It is needless for me to say how precious news from home is to us. You by your thoughtfulness and kindness have solved that problem of getting news to us.
I realize that a great deal has been written to you concerning army life. All I can add is the thought that we in the service appreciate the fact that one’s country, our country, can be served equally as well outside the service. Your generosity and thoughtfulness to the men in service is an excellent example of what I mean.

THE food dollar is our most important expenditure. Thus we
want to spend it wisely to build strong healthy bodies able to enjoy life and resist disease. If we divide our food dollar into five parts ahd plan our meals accordingly, we are very sure to shop intelligently. By that, I mean our market basket will contain nutritious food for well balanced meals.
Our first fifth or more should be spent for whole milk, cream and cheese. Most of us know, of course, that each child should take one quart of milk a day and each adult, at least one pint in some form each day. This seems like quite a problem for in many homes, adults are inclined to think of milk as an unnecessary food.
There are many other ways than the drinking of milk for adults to receive their quota. Planning for custards, creamed meats or fish, creamed soups, frozen desserts, escalloped dishes to become a part of our menu will furnish the milk, requirements in a most palatable way. Persons that eat cereals have little trouble in consuming their share of milk.
Our second fifth should be spent for vegetables and fruits with special thought to the green leaf and yellow fruits and vegetables. We need, at least, one cooked vegetable with our fresh vegetable and potatoes each day. Fresh fruits twice a day, with citrous, at least once to complete our second spending.
The next fifth of our funds is spent for meat, fish and eggs in a well balanced diet.
Liver should be included in our menu at least once a week. Many times, these foods get the lion’s share of the dollar. First, because we are inclined to purchase the choice cuts of meat, often cheating some of the other important foods out of their rightful place in our menu. It is important to keep in mind that cheaper cuts of meat are just as nutritious and are as equally palatable when properly prepared. The so-called less desirable cuts of meat, and also fish and eggs are a salvation for those wishing to live right with an average budge..
The staff of life, bread, comes in for its share in our next portion _qf the dollar. In sharing honors with cereals, they both should give the right away to whole grain. Often this offers a problem, for in spite
In closing, along with my thanks j let me add that we in the service even ] though we handle guns, etc., pray for I the time when peace shall rule the
of their health giving properties, most people prefer the whole grain flour only occasionly.
This may be overcome somewhat by the serving of whole grain muffins with dates or raisins, something which is often more popular than the plain bread.
Our remaining, fifth very naturally will be spent for fats, sugars and other groceries. This is the sort of a complimentary portion for it plays a very important part in the sprucing up the flavor of food and combination of foods.
A -healthy body is developed and maintained by eating well-balanced meals. This very fact places a great responsibility on the menu planner in our homes. Homemakers have th job of dividing the food dollar and spending it with judgment. Preparing the food is the grand finale which will bring its reward in a healthier happier family life.
The following suggestions are an excellent guide to assist you in serving well-balanced meals. You will notice, we feature the less expensive cuts of meat with several ideas for each course so you may combine those that have the greatest appeal.
Meat dish—Braised Veal Chops; Appetizer or Soup—Corn Soup, Vegetable Soup, C l e a r Broth; Starchy Food—French Fried Potatoes, Steamed Rice, Riced Potatoes; Other Vegetables— Broccoli, Okra, Brussels Sprouts; Bread — Crusty Rolls, Assorted Breads, White Bread; Accompaniment — Currant Jelly, Tomato Sauce, Spur Cream Gravy; Salad—Molded Carrot, Apple and Celery, Pear; Dessert-Fresh Fruit and Cookies, Peanut Brittle, Ice Cream, Berry Tarts.
Meat Dish: Beef Patties; Appetizer or Soup: Whit Cherry Cocktail, Broiled Grapefruit, Scotch Broth; Starch Food: French Fried Potatoes, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Hash Browned Potatoes; Other Vegetables: Escalloped Cabbage,Spinach, Beets in Sour Cream; Bread: Toasted Rolls, Sliced Bread, Refrigerator Ro l l s ; Accompaniment: Tomato Sauce, Celery and Olives, Jelly; Salad: Pear and Celery, Spiced Beet, Head Lettuce; Dessert: Custard Pie, Date Pudding, Peach Melba.
Meat Dish: Stuffed Lamb Breast; Appetizer or Soup: Navy BeanSoup, Fruit Cu,p, Orange Juice; Starchy Food: Browned Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, Lyonnaise Potatoes; Other Vegetables: Escalloped Spinach, Fried Eggplant, Buttered Beets; Bread: Clover Leaf Rolls, White Bread, Assorted Breads; Accompaniment: Onion Sauce, Brown Gravy, Tart Jelly; Salad: Orange and Mint, Jellied Fruit, Celery and Nut; Dessert: Brown Betty, Apricot Whip, Peach Compote.

YO U R GARDENThere are a number of items on the
gardener’s schedule for late J u ly - finishing the moving of bearded irises, making early sowings of Pansies and English Daisies, and pinching back dahlias to get larger blooms.
When sowing seeds at this time of year, don’t forget to prepare a good seed bed and keep it shaded until the seed has germinated. Make two or three sowings, for some seeds do not germinate well if the soil temperature is much over 75 degrees.
If you can get fresh delphinium seed, sow part of it at once, but make a second sowing a week later so that at least one lot has a chance at favorable soil temperatures. Delphinium seed is quite dependent on suitable growing conditions and during an extremely hot spell, you will probably have a poor stand of seedlings—the same as with pansies. If these seeds are sown the last of July or the first of August and well taken care of, they should produce strong plants which will bloom profusely next year. It is a little late to get strong growth on Hollyhocks and Canterbury-bells, but these may still be tried if you don’t leave them in the seed bed too long. Transplant carefully and force them a little and you can get good bloom next year.
Be sure dahlias, tall chrysanthemums, Michaelmas daisies, and other tall subjects are staked, for we are liable to have heavy showers with a lot of wind during late July and August. Staking is not difficult. Simply drive or push a stake close to the plant and deep enough so that when the ground is softened by the rain the stake will remain secure. Then tie the plants securely to the stake either with soft twine or some of the new fastening strips which are such time- savers.
The last of this month is a good time to cut back dahlias particularly if they have made strong growth. Simply remove the surplus shoots and pinch the others back, but don’t remove too many basal leaves. This promotes strong young growth in August which will produce flowers later in the month or in early September. If too many shoots start, remove some so that a plant only has five or six strong ones. Flower buds form at the ends of these shoots, and the way to produce first-class dahlias is to remove all but one bud from each shoot as soon as they are formed.
This is about the latest that chrysanthemums may be pinched back. In fact it is getting a little late now for the early blooming ones, for they will soon be making buds, and after these start to form it is too late to pinch them back. Some chrysanthemums flower much better if surplus shoots and buds are removed. If a plant has more than five or six growing shoots, it is better to remove the others.
Allan N. Nettleman, Secretary. Dear Mr. Nettleman: I certainly was pleasantly surprised to receive a copy of The Coast Advertiser and to learn that it will be sent to me by the Kiwanis Club. I wish to thank you for helping to make my army life more plqasant. I hope that I will be able to be of some help to the army and our government and in that way repay you for your fine gift and generous spirit.
Thanking you again for your kindness and hoping that you will be able to continue your fine work for many years to come, I remain

To The Members of The Belmar Kiwanis Club. Gentlemen: I know the Kiwanis club must be a great club of patriotic men, to think of us fellows who are so widely scattered from home. The gift that these men give us, a publication o f The Coast Advertiser each week, brings back many thoughts of our old home town.
Having been in the army for four months I will give you a brief of what is happening. I have traveled so far through 13 states and Mississippi seems to be my last stop so far. Our company has been split into three platoons and it is known as the “Sales Commissary Company” . We are the Second platoon, the First being in Louisianna and the Third in Florida. Our unit will be the first of its kind in the history of the United States. Each platoon supplies 30,000 soldiers with their needs to within 1,000 yards of the front lines. We are now waiting for our trucks and trailers to arrive so we will be ready for six weeks of maneuvers which will start next month.
Before I close, I want to thank all for what this paper means to us fellows so far from home.

TRENTON—At a saving of $717 under estimated cost, State Highway Commissioner E. Donald Sterner has authorized awardrs of contracts for two state aid projects which will provide 134 man-weeks of employment in Monmouth county.

they may be,” Commissioner Sterner concluded.Commissioner Sterner drew com
parisons between contested and uncontested cases—the Clark property acquisition on Route 28 in Hunterdon county and the National Fireproofing company case in Perth Amboy, involving land at the northern approach of the Edison bridge, to illustrate the procedure followed by his department in right-of-way matters.
Commissioner Sterner said his purpose in explaining the proceedings in both cases was to show the costliness of litigation in contrast to fair negotiations and to refute the impression created at last week’s hearing that the price paid for the Clark property was exorbitant as the highest of four appraisals made because it was much more than the estimate made by the department’s civil service classified right-of-way agent.
“It was fully explained at the outset to investigators for Mr. Roger Hinds,” said Commissioner Sterner, “that the estimate made by the Highway Department right of way agent is merely for our general information and is never used as the true test of value because such employe could not properly qualify before our courts as a real estate expert, with the necessary knowledge of local values.
“On the other hand it has been my policy as State Highway commissioner to engage reputable licensed real es-
| tate agents, fully acquainted with land Values in their particular localities, and, when valuable properties are to be acquired, experts are engaged in particular types of industrial buildings, specialized farms, nurseries, dairies, soils, etc., to make appraisals for the state in the acquisition of rights-of- way for new highway work. Under no circumstances will we pay any property owner an amount above our highest appraisal. In the event an owner does insist on a higher price, we then resort to condemnation proceedings.
“In the Clark case the owner was so enraged at the outset that he demanded $100,000 for his land We used three licensed real estate men, Everett Wilson, Sanford ©reendyke of High Bridge, and Kenneth Yeaton of Flemington, to make appraisals for the state.
Mr. Clark engaged real estate experts who claimed total damages of $47,981. After three months’ negotiation, the owner agreed, through his counsel, Anthony M. Hauck, jr., to accept a minimum of $35,000, but finally we secured a signed settlement for $32,500, which was $76 less than the top appraisal made by Mr. Yeaton.
The estimate made by our right-of- way agent in the Clark matter was $10,145, plus relocation of electric and water lines, but with no allowance for severance caused by the highway going through the heart of the farm, containing twenty-four buildings, including barns and silos and by reputation one of the best dairy farms in New Jersey, or the loss of a large modern dairy plant which leased part of the farm. Without question we drastically reduced the resale of the Clark farm.
“Significantly enough the state’s

right-of-way agents estimate in the National Fireproofing case was also .j $10,000, with no allowance for damages ! to buildings or industrial losses. How- I ever, when we engaged real estate and industrial appraisers and experts in j clay lands and other phases of the I National Fireproofing property, the | outside appraisals ranged from $50,003 | to $72,850. This was in contrast ;tq the $600,000 value claimed by an appraiser for the owner.
“The company refused to accept our offer and the matter went' to cpn- demnation. An award of $290,297, plus interest, which increased the amount to over $300,000, was made in favor of the owner. We appealed the award and the case went to jury trial. The jury made an award of $351,202, plus interest, making the final cost over $400,00. The case is now on appeal to the higher courts.
“Our department or any other governmental agency cannot assume the position of a dictator and destroy homes, farms, or other properties, which may be the owner’s sole means of livelihood, in an arbitrary manner without fair and just compensation. It has been our experience that when our department has assumed such an attitude and we go before a jury in the county where the particular land or building is located, the average member of the jury feels the property was destroyed against the wishes of the owner and therefore we should pay a generous and often an exorbitant price.
“It has been proven over a period of years that by securing the services of experts in all fields and thereby avoiding costly litigation and pursuing a policy of friendly negotiations on a fair basis with owners of property needed for state highway construction, we have saved the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and reduced to less than five percent the number of contested cases.”
