PROVIDED WORK IS STARTED BE¬ FORE DEC. 15
Predicated on Authorization of Bond Israie on Nov. 5 in Amount of $165,- i COO—Engineers' Estimate on Com- ] pletion of the Work. The HorouKli afflcers have just been .¦irlvi.sed that the rresident haa approv- id a. Krunt 'to tho IJorougii of Aniibler of $1U7,10« to bo used toward the ex¬ penso of construetion of a comprehen¬ sive sanitary sewer system for the liorough a.s a project under the I'ublic AVorks Administration. This amount is alishtly larger than the estimate fur¬ nished by tho ensineerins" firm of Ai- liiriyht and Friel, Inc., as will appear from thoir detailed statement at tho clo.so of this article. It Insures the completion of tho system along the lines planned, if the citizens vote afUi'niatively on the increase of bond¬ ed indebtedness Nov. Sth inext.
.'vLiiliH'i- is fortunate, indeed, in S(>- cuiin;.;' this grant of .Federal funds. It is stated that the sum of |200,000,- 000 was allocated for projects of this character under the I'ubiic Works Ad¬ ministration, and that actually there were received applic;itions totailin.'? 5'1,700,000,000, so that less than 12 per tent of the funds ,ai>plied for were ap- lioved. It is further repoited that no further funds of this cliaracter will be availii:;)Ie; .and that the pres-X'nt Kraiit may he withdrawn and trans- iVrred to wnothei' applicant if the lUjroiiyh docs not proceed promptly. I'nder the ternis under which ali such grants are made, actual construction must coiiiinience not later tlian 'i^'cc. ]r>th.
.Sliould      the     citizens     of   An.lbler autliorizo   worlc  to  conimencc  on  this la-oject, tile actual construction would be  accomplished  wilh  a minimum  of inconvenience   to   the   residents.       Tho contracts would be awarded to one or ui'ire  contractors   to whose  interest   it would  1)0   to  have  the work completed, as   promptly   as   possible.   This   would! avoid the delay encountered last year.! ThS Boi'o«j!:h would be relieved of the 1 expense of pnrchasin;? extensive eairip- I Jnieiit,  tools and machinery. ,
It   is   believed   that   tlie   project   nsj outlined,   'wiien   comiik'tcd,   will   placo I tlie   Uorough   of  Anibler   in   tlio   fore- i front among municipalities insofar as : its scv.'iige disposiil is concerned. There : Is  a   delinite  tightening  up  of  restric- | tions in I'ennsylvania on this subject, i Atientlon  is being drawn .tii the sew- [ ime   in   W'issahickon   Creek   and   the liorough  has already received a man- j .  (liatory order to proceed wtli stelw for j tlie   abatement       of     this     condition. ! Similar   action   is   being   taken   with ; I'eterencH     to   the     pollution   of      t.lie,! tichuyikili River against the IJoroughs of fonslioliocken  and  Itoyersford.  Tlio Township of Slii'lngllcid  has just been ordered to jirocecd with the preiiaration of   plans   for  a  cumi>reliensive   sewer system. It would seem that a splenjld oiiportunity  is  being ottered  thc com- iminity   to   proceed   -with   this   needed improvement at a minimum of expense, an   omiortunity   which   it   is   unlikely can  occur again.
Tlie following estimate of the cast for ciunpleting the sewage treatment works and thc entire .sewei-' system was la-einired by A.U>right & Friel, Inc., on Sept. 20, 11)35, prior to tho an¬ nonneenient that the Federal grant had been apjiroved. It suggests a plan for linaiicing tlio cost, partly Poy the Is- j-iiaiire of biuids and partly through the collection of assessments on a basis of $1 per foot front. TliJs plan is re¬ ceiving study from tho CMnNmittee on Hewers, and thoir report will come J>e- forc the Town Council in due course:
A]\n:LI-nj   Si:WHRAGE   SYSTKM Estim<ate of Cost, Sept. 20, 1935
which the sinking fund is already set
up in   the  tax  rate       $75,000.00
30-year bond ng fu:nd and tax rate $75,000.00 5 — Method of Assessment A   method  whei-eby   tho  aasossm,ent charges would work a mlniimium hard- slili> on the property owners would be to give a. 5 p.c. discount to all iwoperty owners who pay the assessment with¬ in GO days, and to provide for an In¬ stallment   plan   whereby     a   property owner may pay the assessment in flve equal   installments    over  a    flve-year period  by  paying interest at the I'ate of 6 p.c. on the unpaid balance.
On election day, Nov. Sth next, the citizens of Ambler will have the op¬ portunity to decide whether or not to proceed  with   this   project.

REMARKABLE   ADDRESS    BEf-ORE THE   ROTARY   CLUB
BRISTER,    DAPTM,OUTH    STAR
IMchard Brister, former Amibler H'.gh student and now in hia la:~ year at Dartmouth College bas stated in an interview that there is no pushaw^y In the pole vault. Tho college record-holder explained that tho athlete Is flying w fast through the air that he seenia to be pushing down on the pole, while in reality he is only releasing his grasp. Tlie powerful stamp-off from, the ground followed hy the swing' and snappy pull-up generate bo much energy and momentum, that the athlete could not push down on the pole if he wished to. He would be flying away; from it at too fast a pace and could merely let go and trust to luck to land safely. And that, explained Brister, la ex¬ actly what the bestj of our vaulters are doing at their 14-foot heights nowtidays. He says it can best be seen in the style of Bill Graber, holder of the present accepted world record. Gmber's powerful pull-up throws him far above the grip he takes on the polo, and he is completely at the mercy of gravity in falling. It is only by; t-aking great chances in landing that he has put the mlark where it is.
Brister is the studious Ty CoW) type of athlete. He haa thoroughly steeped htmseK In the science of his event, .and can .safely be .said to know as much about vauting as is under.stood at tho present time. It is a standing Joke on the teajn that Brister is the .liowest runner in the class and the poorest natural athlete to l>eeome a star in many years. His science may get him a berth on the next Olympic leanu
Intide Movements That Go on in Washington, of Which the General Publio Knows Nothing—Poll of Business   Shows   Improvement
The Itotary (Mub of Amliler was Kiven an insight at its luncheon meeting on Wednesday of last week, of the inner workings at Washington and the influences that attempt to shape legislation in thc capital of this nation. The facts were brought out by Congrcssm.an .1. William Hit¬ ter, who addressed tho club on the subiect   of   "The   Constitution."
The Congressman was presented by Ralph H. Frey, past-president, and the speaker was given a tregiendous ovation on the occasion of hia first appearance before tbe home ciub in manv moons, as his arduous duties at Washington have prevented his appearance  at the  Anibler Club.
Mr. Ditter said: " 'The lirst object of a free people is the in-eservation of their liberty, and lit)erty is (Uily to be preserved by maintaining constitution¬ al restraints and just divisions of political power.' These words of Webster uttered more tli.an KW years I ago   should     command   the     attention j
ConHtituti(m, if that proteclon is to be om- prized possession and a price¬ less heritage to posterity, then the Constitution   must   be   kept   inviolate."
I'resident .loseph Cr.aft presided, and welcomed Wm. H. Uachman as tho guest of John Ledeboer. and ex¬ tended birthday greetings to Thomas A.   Foulko.
I'he noil of business conditions showed 67.5, which Is an increase over the results ot the past few v.ceka.
Thomas Foulke, of the Internailonal .Service t'lmimitteo, called to Kotary attenion the interesting (luestionnaire on the subject of world peace, being conducted in drugstores bv the .Scpjlbb Dental Co., whereby each purchtiser is asked to register his vote in the peace  movement.

History Dates Ba^k to Organization of Church in Whitemarsh by the Dutch Preacher, Rev. Paulus Van VIecq In 1710.
St. Paul's Church, Fort Washington is planning an extensive celebration of the 22Sth anniver.sary of the founding of the Reformed Church In the U. S. and of St. Paul's, during the week of Oct.  13th to 20th.
As a part of the celebration the Cilas.sis of Philadelphia will hold its Fall meetings in the Churcii on Tues¬ day and Wednesday of that woek. Prominent oflicials and preachers of tho Church will be heard at all the services.

From tha.t nucleus of members and officers came the present Retormed Church in the IT. S. and the present St. Paul'.s Church of Fort Washington. After Van Vlecq left Pennsylvania the congregation which he formed seems to li.avo disbanded, for several yoars. In 1725 the Rev. John Philip Boehiiii reorgianized the "Whitemarsh church, and drew upon Van Viecq's congregation for both hia meihbershlp and officers.

AToout ISOO, how¬ ever, the Lu,ther.in and Reformed people of the Whitemarsh area liegan a miovement to secure a churcii build¬ ing. Eventually, in 1819 the tTnion Church of Whitemarsh was dedicated. <a  period   of  three-quarters   of   a
