They were followed by four more planes, which reached Natal in formation at the end of the flight of some 1.80Q miles across the ocean.

A mechanic was reported missing.

Bedecked Municipalities On D. Branch Greet First Electric Train Run City Counsel Hyer of Rahway formed the State authorities Rahway objected to the entry of any municipality into the sewer system until it Is completed and each municipality knows what its share of the expense will be- Hyer objected that if Cranford and Garwood were permitted to empty into the joint sewer, other municipalities would follow with similar applications. He doubted if the present joint meeting has the authority to grant permission to new applicants.

Hyer added that the contract for the sewer provides that each municipality agrees to stand the entire expense, if necessary. He further contended the health board had no power to grant a municipality au thority to enter into the joint project. The function of the health board, he submitted, was to supervise the plans. Oliver in his argument for "West-field stated that since the last meeting of the joint committee things have come to a crisis- Westfield for years, he said, has been under the orders of the State Board of Health to discharge its sewage otherwise than into Robinson's branch. He said Westfield has epent 5500,000 in the joint sewer project.

He said it was difficult to have the nine municipalities in the joint project agree on supplemental (Please turn to page 23.)

Van Devknter Ik- "A- It may be comfort RlDWADn inS at this time to re-lunnwu flect that arter every MAPfU one of our past depres-IVlrrvl sions, American business proceeded to hangr up new prosperity records exceeding the previous tops.

One who has studied the cyclical alternations in business is almost compelled to believe that the seeds prosperity Rre sown in periods of adversity. There are pood sound reasons why this may be true. One reason is that the spirit of hard work In both hieh and low places depreciates during the easy times. Hard times provide a stimulating tonic and bring the will to work back into healthy condition. Then, too, there Is nothing like bard going to change closed minds into open ones.

Ways of doing business that have seemed quite satisfactory are "put on the carpet" for questioning when they no longer suffice to "bring home the bacon." The question mark is dusted off and put to work, with the result that new and better ways of doing things are discovered. This questioning of the old ways of doing things has been going on in wholesale fashion in industry and business during the past twelve months. There has been a widespread fine tooth combing of both manufacturing and marketing methods, resulting in tremendous amount of waste elimination. Industry today, while on a low volume level, is on a higher efficiency level than it ever has been. The prosperity seeds have been sown.

Doors in industry and business are now wide open to new ideas. The word "welcome" is on the doormat.
