of the Marine Recruiting Station 1208
- Main street stated today that the
United Sattes Marine Corps are offer
ing the finest opportunities to young
men to fit themselves for trades on
, the outside. The Sergeant stated that
the L C 8. courses offered by the Ma
Tin Corps is an inducement in it
self. For young men who have been
In the service they can enlist and be
sent direct to the schools at Quantico,
,Va- Recruits are sent to the train
' ing etan for a short period and from
there to the schools. Reenlisted men
may choose their own station or post
In the United States If they do not
ear to take up the courses. There
re many men no doubt in the City
of Bridgeport and vicinity that
would like to get into the Corps but
tbey are afraid they can not pass for
examination. The Sergeant said that
tbey were not looking for giants but
that almost anjr healthy young man
could get in if he would juet present
bimself at the Recruiting Station and
not to be laboring under false impres
sions. The Marine Corps is fast fill
ing up. Sergeant Sullivan further
stated that any young man who wish

of the world that there was but one
outfit to see It with and that is the
Marines. They tell Congress that the
war is over, also the Army and Navy,
but they never tell the Marines for
with the Marines there is always war.
THE PEOPLES' SAY
Bridgeport. Conn,, Aug. 18, 1920.
Editor Times
Gentlemen:
While realizing that everybody is
entitled to form their own opinions, 1
believe, that before giving expression
to those opinions, that they should
give careful thought to what they
say, and if they expect their opinions
to carry any weight, they must stick
to facts.-1 am referring to the trolley-
, Jitney controversy. Personally, I do
not use either the trolley or Jitneys
( enough to care which side wins, but I
would like to see Justice done. In the
present controversy I honestly believe
; that the Connecticut Company is in
the wro.ng.rThey retired from the field
of their own' -accord, and J- do not be
;ieve that it is good policy to try and
coax them to return their service here.
It is all right to force them to return
if possible, but to surrender to them,
never In reading- the -comments in
; our paper in favor of the return of
the trolleys I have noticed that the
. favorite argument in that the Jitneys
are dirty and unwfe. If the complain
ing parties are trying to convince
some one in San Francisco that the
Jitneys are dirty that is a good argu
ment, but to us who are on the ground
and.know the real conditions it will
have no weight. Theyni.t be very
dirty, or the Board of Health would
be after them. In regards to them be
ing unsafe, it is only necessary to ask
the critics to name the real serious
accidents that have happened since
the trolleys stopped four weeks ago.
Xhat is the best recommend the Jit
neys have. Then the ladies must have
forgotten, how they used to soil their
dresses on the seats of the open cars
where someone had placed his dirty
feet, Just prvious to the conductor re
versing the seats at the end of the
line. Others say that if they cannot
have the trolleys back they will move.
. Well, good bye and good luck.
Bridgeport is a small town, but if you
are so narrow-minded that you must
have your own way, it is too big to
hold you and we really won't unless
you unless you are escorted out of
town wifh a brass band. Some blame
the mayor for the present conditions.
Whv. blame poor Cliff. Didn't he try
real -hard . to- deliver .the -city to the
Connecticut Co? Judge Banks inter
fered. But about the most unfair ar
gument of all is one that I read in
last Saturday's Times. The writer used
these words: "Drive the dirty slack
ers from the streets."
Many of our Jitney drivers saw ser
vice abroad, and those who remained
at home gave freely to all the war
funds that were raised, bought Liber
ty bonds and War Savings stamps,
and last, but not least of all carried
the soldiers and sailors free in their
busses. That is more than the Con
necticut Company did, so why call
them slackers. By all means express
your opinions, but be fair and truth
fuU
FAIR PLAT.
OILING ROADS.
Cost of permanent work on hish
ways is proving . so great this year,
that some states ' are setting aside
their plans for concrete and macadam
work. They will substitute oiling, as
a temporary makeshift.
This is a disappointing outcome. It
hows the folly of the people who
opposed good roads work at a time
when K could, have g been done for
half the money. -' "'
-You can't make a hard road simply
by turning oil onto dust. And you
don't repair macadam worn full of
holes, simply by oiling it. But if a
road is made of fairly good material,
a good oil may hold it together.
All supplies of--oil used in-Connecticut
should be carefully tested to see if
they have good binding qualities.
