LECTURER WILL  TALK  OF TO¬ DAY'S CONDITIONS ABROAD
There  was an  inspirin.j;   vote   in- I .spite   of   tho   lack   ot   siiirlted   con- | tests in  the   r.iiiough  ot Ambler at j the general election Tuesday.     Save : for  the  spirit  of   the  old   line   Ue- | publican   grouii   liltted   against   the | determination of the new Democra- 1 lie   principles,   that   were     evident | in  the fight here for Justice of the J'eace,   and   the   determination     of voters  to   keep  intact   their   splen¬ did   sehool   buard.   there   appeared little worth while to draw the voter to  the polls. It  was decidely a lie- )iublican   victory   here,   as   it     was^ throughout   the   entire   County,    for the entire list ot row offices.
All  Ambler of  course  focused   Us attention   on   the   llrbun-Iirelnlnger tangle for Justice of the I'eace. The result was almost a - td 1    victory tor William Urban, Uepublican, the Iiresent   incumbent    Uobert   Urein- ingcr, a Democratic  leader here, did i well  and   iioUed   the   biggest    vote | from ar;jong all others of his jiarty ' un   the  local   liallot.  The  vote   was i lil4 to 4S1. Urban won in every ward, j
The _j^chool lioard battle proved Iiuite uneventful 'and William H. { .I'aust and I'aul W. Norris were re- ; turned by votes of 002 and OOO, re- i spectivcly. J'"rank Hayman, Demo- \ crat  received 21)4  votes. ;
Only   the   Democrats   were   at   all excited   over   th.e   outcome   ot   the '] vote and the lone contest to arouse their   interest     was   the   choice     of | M i n o_r it y County    Commissioner. I'rom t^e last results thai were ob- i tained yesterday afternoon  the vic¬ tory  was   conceded  to  Uyamond   K. [ Mensch over James \V. J'otter,  pre- ! sent incunnbent. The   total  vote tor 1 Mensch was  IS,228 and for  Potter, i 18,«05."' j
Foster Hillegass received over j J20I) votes more than J'"retl C. J'eters. ! li'olh aspired tor the two positions | o\ien on the Hoard of Oiiunty j Commissioners unopiKised. Uille-j gass received .")0,315 votes, Petert | 41»,093. j
Th.ere were a few cnntesls fov i .School board and Justices of t!ie ; i'eiice oftices in the several town- ! .ships but in every instance the Ue- i pulilican candidates were not only i victorious but outstanding in their , vole.

COMMANDER'S PROCLAMATION
The American Legion remembers Armistice Day each year as the proper time to renew its pledge to those who made the supreme sacrifice in the World War " a pledge to keep faith.
We, today, honor a sacrifice worthy of their hero¬ ism. While we yet remain, there shall be no denial of that privilege. In that spirit I ask, in behalf of the members of Norton Downs, Jr., Post No. 125, American Legion of Ambler, that all people of Ambler and ita adjacent community, veterans or non-veterans, assist in rallying this, a United Nation on this Armistice Day.
Let all of us join in that clear-cut purpose and determination to adhere to the Positive Peace Program in the United States of America, and may our efl'orts keep us ever a Nation at Peace.
