Henry: On Vital City Issues
President of the Council,
Fred Henry, speaking at the
city council*meeting last
Tuesday
evening,
expounded on several problems now facing the city.
Beginning with the school
expansion program, Henry
announced that on the night
of Oct. 7, the Mayor, Council and Board of Education
would hold a special meeting and try to dome up with
a definite solution.
Henry, emphasizing the
need for thorough exploration of the matter, advanced the thought of explanding only the grammar
school and sending the high
school students elsewhere.
"This", s a i d
Henry
"should be explored," The
broad-based
curriculum
offered in other schools,
cannot be afforded In South
Amboy. It is unreasonable
for us to expect our children to compete with graduates of schools that can
afford to give the best in
the field of education. We
should explore all avenues
in our quest to give our
students the same opportunities."
LIBRARIAN RESIGNS
Announcing the pending
resignation of Miss Sadie
Dowdell, as city librarian,
Henry stated that Civil Service tests will be conducted
for her replacement and
*dded, "Miss Dowdell has
done a wonderful service to
her town and the Library
Board is to be commended
In their successful efforts
in keeping her beyond her
desired earlier retirement
date."
Progress is being made
In the studies of budgetary
and accounting procedures
of the city, according to
Henry, and it is hoped that
all departments of the city
will be able to meet the
new dead-line set up for
Jan. 1, 1969.
The up-dating of all the
city codes has reached the
point where a rough firstdraft will be presented,
within a week, to the council men for their study.
Henry has been told, by
the state officials conducting these projects, that
there are only three other
state municipalities operating under similar archaic
conditions. He noted that he
is trying to find out whether
or not a special election
could be held to .vote on a
city charter study commission, adding that efforts to
place It on this year's ballot failed due to the timing
element.
Plans for the new city hall
are about 85%completeand
should be ready for bids
towards the«end of November, which, according to
Henry, is the best time due
to the slack in work for the
contractors. Henry has ordered the architect to keep
the public informed as to
the^rogress of the project.
In speaking of die proposed new fire truck, at a
reported cost of $65,000,
Henry expressed concern

about the rate "we are
spending money". He has
asked the state to make a
cursory study of the financial structure of South Amboy.
pointing out that the new
school, city hall, the pending tie-in with the Middlesex County Sewerage Authority and other necessary
items will take a lot of .financing, Henry asks what
effect this kind of spending
will have on our tax structure, even though most of
it is bondable.
"We should cake a good
hard look at expenditures
for the next five years and
see if we can fit this kind
of spending in our budget,"
said the councilman, adding, "we can't keep skyrocketing."
The control of ordinances
has gotten out of hand, according to Henry, and he
recommended that a strong
council and mayor type of
city government be adopted
"with the mayor voting, and
not sitting on the sidelines."

last I uesday night, toallow
ihe controversial teen-age
"business
establishment,
t he Cove, to reopen its
doors.
Closed since last Aug. 6,
the Cove has been the center of much disagreement
and objections brought
about by its nearby neighbors. Claiming that too
much noise and confusion
emanated from the Cove,
I |K-ople of that area peti] noikd the council for the
dosing of the place.
.' ]iis|vjctor Vona, of thecity
, ik.ikh Department, ordered the Cove closed July
' }ti, alleging that the place
I of business did not meet
j certain requirements necessary for the running of
a restaurant. According to
Vona, the Cove did not have
adequate toilet facilities
for a teen-age center, only
for the employees. He also
instructed the owners that
it would be necessary to
install materials impervious to water on the four
walls in eacfi of the toilet
areas to a height of not
lower than five feet. The
owners were also told to
use suitable building materials for the "purpose of
cutting down on the transmission of sound.
After apparently meeting
these requests, Timm r e opened the Cove, only to
have it closed again the
following week, Aug. 6 following more complaints of
the same nature. Adjudging
the business a nuisance, the
council has "kept the place
closed since.
At Tuesday night's council meeting, Timm, the
owner of the establishment,
presented tjie council with
a letter, from an engineering firmv which stated that
it is possible to eliminate,
or at least cut down on noise
transmission which is the
chief complaint of the nearby neighbors.
In granting permission for
the Cove to open again,
the Council and Mayor announced that Vona will be
instructed tt> keep a close
watch on the place and if
it continues to be a nuisance, a court injunction will
be obtained to close it.
When asked for a legal
opinion concerning the
case, Attorney John Mullane said, "He (Timm) 16

he can be tried in our local court. If he persists in

but, anyone has the right
to take him to court."

Some time ago this column carried an Item on the
relationship between Edwin. C. Roddy and Clarence
' Chimberlain, and now we have more coming on the
t t r l y pioneers of airplane development, through the good
*—graces of Bill Marshall.
'
.'
3111 Is a buff on the subject of airplanes and has
-; premised to do a guest column concerning this in the
•' very near future. Being associated with euch organiza" "tiona as the American Aviation Historical Society (AAHS),
the Connecticut Aeronautical Historical Association
/ ' (CAHA), the Long Island Early'Fliers Club (LIEFC),
-. Niw York State Aviation Historical Association (NYSAHA),
The Society of World War I Aero Historians, Wingfoot
; Lightetr-Than-Air Society (WLTAS) and the Northeast
'. Aero Historians Association, Bill speaks with authority
r on the early development of aircraft.
*-„_ Running across this facet of Bill's background came
." - about quite accidentally. I had called him concerning
• the history of the Camden-Amboy railroad, which is
another of his many, and varied interests, and in the
course of our conversation, World War I aviation history
cropped up. He was, I believe, at that time, the president
Of still another historical group known as the Cross And
• ' Cockade, a society of World War I Aero Historians.
BiU is, and I say this with deep affection, a "nut", as
.all true buffs are. Without the likes of such buffs, many
, of our heritages and past glories and accomplishments
would go by the board. The buff's interest, in his chosen
field of activity, sets him apart from all others. He is an
entirely different breed of cat. All of us have, at one time
or. another, run across such people and have found them
' t o be, on the surface, plain ordinary run-of-the-mill
••• humans, until
HIS favorite topic is mentioned.
When this happens, prepare yourself for an eyeopening revelation of information that will astound and
amaze you. Information that you never knew existed. The
true buff will lay bar-*- facts and figures that had been
"•• .glossed over by the so-called experts. Little known bits
.Of intelligence will come to light, under his diligent
/", research, that will bring about a whole new concept of
' t h e subject.
•
, ,
•. An in-depth study of the background and origins of any
topic you may choose will show that the dedicated buff
has had much to do with the development and progress
, Of that particular subject, be it in the Arts or Sciences.
SO, hats off to the buff. Long may he crave; because
only this craving of knowledge will help us to survive
and maintain our sanity.
Recently, in a new column of a county newspaper, there
appeared a query on why bicycles weren't equipped with
a steering wheel, instead of the conventional handlebar,
which would make for greater mobility and maneuverability.
The newspaper answered this by stating that a company
In Olio has come out with this "new" innovation and it
Would soon be on the market.
New?? Back in the '20's, we did this, using the steering wheels of Chevrolets. It runs through my mind that
the Ford steering wheel couldn't be used because of the
locking mechanism on it*. Do you remember that device
that safeguarded your car from theft by making' it
possible to tilt the wheel on a 90 degree angle to the
Steering column?
The ijids on ldwer John, George and Henry streets
also improvised, or modified, their bikes with this same
procedure, back in the '30's. A million dollar idea, and
we didn't know it til
.>? And most likely we blew another million dollar deal by
* JkOt getting a patent on our "all-season-snow-sled".
?,When the snow was gone, we put old roller skates under
4,'tfee sled and used it for belly-whoppers on the sidewalks
f'and roads. Is there, anything like this on the market
? today??? If not, let's make that millionII!

Tandem bikes were no problem for the aforementioned

off one bike and attached the fork, of that bike, to the

' A vivid recollection of the '30's is the free enterprise we enjoyed. For. a total investment of ten cents,
.we would sometimes net one whole dollar,in profit. The
dime -was used to buy a cake of ice from Applegate's,
and with a "borrowed" bottle of home-made root beer,
We would peddle flavored ice-cones around the neighborhood.
.
Another lucrative side line was the "Show you a short
GUt, Mister?" bit we worked on the unsuspecting, trafficWeary motorists, that were Jammed in the Sunday afternoon traffic on Broadway.

PINK TO BLUE
A sort of magical curiosity in the garden is the
hydrangea plant that bears
large showy clusters of
white, pink, or blue flowers.
As far as talent goes, the
whites have to step to the
rear because they re forever white. A blue hydrangea, though, can turn pink,
and a pink can turn blue.
The in-between stage Is not
often very pretty. You
might call It blink.
Thi8 subject comes up
again with the arrival of a
card from a' gardener in
Runnemede who has grown
tired of her pink blooms and
would like to try for blue.
How td do it?
I put this problem up to
Don Lacey, Rutgers specialist in home horticulture. From him I got the
message thatf the color
change is all a matter of
soil pH.
ACID SOIL
(What's pHl? It's the scientist's shouhand to express acidity on a.scale of
numbers, something like
degrees on a thermometer.
Hydrangea needs acid soil,
with a pH of about 5.5.)
One way to change neutral
or alkaline soil to acid is to
add alum to it, but only a
little.
Just how small a quantity
depends on the pH of the
individual soil. And so Mrs.
G. has a letter from here
suggesting that she have
her soil tested by her county
Extension Service, and then
follow recommendations of
the county agent exactly.
If
the agent says to
sprinkle a thimbleful of
something in the soil to turn
her hydrangeas blue, she'd
better not use two or
there'll be dange of no hydrangea.
Do you have a question
about gardening? Ask your
county agent or write to
Garden Reporter, College
of Agriculture and Environmental Science, Rutgers

Yesterday and today mark
the 50th anniversary of one
of the worst disasters In
which lives were lost in a
non-combatant zone. Commonly known as the "Morgan Explosion" the event
is vividly remembered by
area residents whose families were either hurt or
killed during October 4 and
5, 1918, Others remember
the flu epidemic that followed and the heartache
and sadness that sickness;
inflicted on so many.
With this issue we begin
the story of the "Morgan
b xploslon" that was written
in 1918 by Dr. Thomas J.
Kiley, special representative of the American Red
cross Department of Civilian Kelief. It is a powerful
portrayal of how South Amboy, Perth Amboy and other
surrounding communities
were affected and reacted
following the explosion at
the T.A. GUlespie Company
Loading Plant in Morgan.
CKL-DIT LINE: Material
and pictures submitted by
Edwin 15aranowski.
Some fifty friends, teachers and school officials
attended a farewell dinner
lafat Friday for Joseph Mabey, who has resigned as
principal of the South Amboy Elementary School,
Addressing the group at
the Seven Arches in Perth
Amboy, Mr. Mabey said he
was happy to b'e with friends
that "edch pne in the room
had .showed him friendship
in a special way." He added
tliat although he would no
longer ^ e e them dally he
would remember them and
his* association "with the local system.
He was presented" withgifts by Mr*. Carol Dren-
na, who had been in charge
of arrangements for the
dinner. Mrs. Virginia Stiliwagon, president of the bo,
Amboy PTA also spoke
briefly. William Zupkowas
the master of ceremonies
and Mrs. Kdward Lake gave
the invocation and ending
prayer.

surgery and to handle only
life saving cases. Many
blood banks throughout the
state show that only 10
per cent of the normal
supply is on hand.
In some large hospitals
where 500 units (or pints)
of blood are kept in stock
- right now there are only
about 50 pints.
In the face of the snort*
age, many hospitals have
cut certain types of operations; one of which isheart
surgery. This kind of japeration needs an average
of 12 to 15 pints of blood.
Throughout the state, and,
of course, the city of South
Amboy, we need motivated
people who want to save
lives by donating their
blood. Don't let the doors
of the Community's blood
bank close. However, if the
.project in November meets
without success, the committee cannot continue to
exist or function in anyway
without donors.
