CIVIL SERVICE JOBS FOR SOL-
DIERS AND SAILORS.
The United States Civil Sen'ice Com-
m18SlOn is perfecting arrangements
whereby men who are about to be dis-
charged from the Army an<1 Kavy may
charged first-hand information concern-
ing opportunities for employmcnt in
the Federal civil service. Thc Commis-
sion has received authority from th'J
Secretary of 'Val' and the Secretary of
the Navy to appoint its representatives
at all establishments where enlisted
men arc assembled in considerable num-
bers. These representatives are now
being appointed. They will be prepar-
ed to inform the men fully concerning
positions wllich arc open, to supply them
with application blanks, to assist them,
if nccessary, with the execution of their
applications and to advise them rela-
tive to civil service matters generally.
It is the plan of the Civil Sen'ice Com-
mission to entl'11st this work to educa-
tiunal directorR of welfare organizations
already operating at the camps, can-
tonmentR! etc. The representatin's of
the Commission who ure appointed from
the personnel of thrsC' \\'C'lfnre organ-
izations will hm-e the henefit of the
advice and assistance of the ComInis-
,sion's local boards of examinC'rs at
near-by 'cities, in addition to the in-
structions reeei ved from the Commis-
sion.
:Dear 'Cub:
As our champion for just ice auu
equity, we look to you to right the
wrengCouneil and the Fire Company
apparently contemplate putting across
on many of our citizens.
I have learned that Council intends
to or has appropriated a sum for the
support of the Fire Company, and on
the strength of that promise the Fire
Company will rcduce the dues to $1.50
from $3.00 per year, whereby ~'ou and
I will save $1.50 per annulII. But how
about those who never paid anything
into the Fire Protection Fundt They
have so far been able to save three
donal'S a year, and now they are able
only to save half of that, or $1.50-1)
bnrdship on that large class of fellow
citizens that should not be permitted
to come to pass. A remedy must be
found, moro particu1arl~- because only a
few will be benefitted by the change.
The Fire Company will not get any
more members by rC'ducing the dues, the
Fire Company will get less revenue and,
as said before, the non-paying members
will save only $UiO, where they saved
three hucl,s hefore. A. E. W.
'To the Editor of Our Town:
'Considerahle publil'ity has heen given
to the collection of 'l'han k Boxes to
contain eontrihutions for the entertain-
mpnt of the returning' soldiers to Nar-
))('rth and the balance thercof to be ap-
plied to a permanent memorial.
I would suggest a IllPmorial by ope u -
ing Essex avenue under the railroa'l
and cst ablishing a bridgeway, the sup-
ports or sidewalls of which could he
de('orated in memorial fashion in Rueh
a way as to make a permanent and usc·
ful addition to tho town.
Ne more puhlic spot could be secure'l
on which to display the names of our
heroes.
I feP] sure that the eontrihutions to

Some Kicks Against the
Y.M.C.A.
"If e\'Pry kil'k ano knock against
the Y. M. C. A. service overseas could
have ))('en hun died as an American Cap·
tain I know treated one case in his
company, there would be 1110re in the
air of what the 'Y' did and less of what
they failed to do," said J ohn ~I. Currie,
of Melrose, Mass" who is just home
from operating Hed Triangle huts in thl)
Calais and Ypres sectors.
"The censor ono e\'ening came across
a letter from a boy to his folks hack
home in which the' Y' was panned anll
scn"ed on toast with a garnish of all
the Scotch blessings and reverse Eng-
lish the boy had on hand. 1'Iow the
censor is a prC'tty tired man and I
should not have blamed him if he had
let that letter go. But there was an ex-
tra strong touch {)f exaggeration in it
that roused the censor's sense of jus-
tice.
"So he sent the letter to the 'Cap-
tain of the hoy's cOll1pany and thC' Cap-
tain calh'd the boy in. This is the con-
versation that followed:
" 'Did you write this letter?'
I' 'Yes, sir.'
" 'Read it o\"el'. Is there anything
t)J('re you'd like to changc bdore it is
senH'
" 'No, sir.'
"Then there was a short pause in
which the Captain studied the boy, and

The greatest travl'1 picture, if not
the most interesting, is Martin John·

to he shown at the Palace Theatre, Ard·
more, on 'Vednesday. Johnson and his
plucky little wife traveled thousanus of
miles alone, visiting the savages of the
lonely South Pacific Islands, where- the
blacks had never before looked' upon n
white man. Once captured by canni·
bals, only to escape by a hair's bre,adth,
they uiscovered a tribe of pigmies and
often stood besido death in filmilig their
most wonderful adventures.
The ,( Than k Boxes" delivered to

the committpe counteu the contents. Ad-
ditional hoxps lUlve since been collected
containing $71.21. This makes a total
of $970.51 now in the hands of Treas·
urer Haws. There ure still a few boxes
which ha \'e not heen turned in. Those
holding them are requested to leave
them at the Post Ofiice if convenient.
The amount contrihuted in theso boxes
purely voluntary and without solicita-
tion, is considered a very liberal col-
lection, after all the war-time calls
which huve been so successfull)' met in

before till' Narberth organizations is to
sec that. their delegates attend the

At tho end of tho first half the score

in the second half the local boys made
a great spurt, which put them nino

able to catch up.
The passing and cleverness of the
