GIFT SCHEME EMBOSSED
The Rev. f. B. Short Says That The

GIFT SCHEME EMBOSSED

Conductors and Motormen on the yari-
Gus trolley lines in this city are wearing
regular smiles in anticipation of a re-
membrauce from the patrons Of the
roads the day before Christmas, as sug-
gested by The Sun. These men who
handle the ears in all kinds of weather
are jubilant over the plan which is be-
ing more discussed as Christmas APP
proaches. 1t was first advocated shortly
before Christmas last year and WINS the
means of many of the conductors and
motormen spending much happier
Christmas than they probably otherwise
would.
The plan as advocated by The Sun il
hat on the day before Christmas each
person riding on the street cars give one
cent or more in excess of his or her fare.
The giving is not compulsory, it should
he Christmas expression of apprecia-
ton. Each conductor is to divide what
he receives in this way with his motor
man. This would at least assure the
men who serve the patrons faithfully
| during the year, turkey for their
| Christmas dinner.
The plan has net only met with the
approval of the conductors and motor
/ iltli Dut ~ - tiSV dppibffb pS tht Eti7

tors, clergymen and men in all classes
say that the patrons of the roads should
in some way show their appreciation Of
the service of these men. Many business
men. who are regular riders on the cars
make the conductors and motormen with
whom they become friendly by being or
the cars every day, a present at Christ
mas.
The Rev. #. Burgctte Short, pastor ot
Epworth NJ. f. Church, has expresset
himself as being very much in favor oi

thought the plan n good one and wha'

public should make manifest its appre
citation Of the services rendered by thi
class Of men. who in the main, are kin,

freen seen were just as free as Mr.. Shor
in expressing a favorable opinion q
