29th Day Of Month
Fatal to Family

The death of Mrs. Clark Hewitt
occurred at 1.30 o'clock on Tues
day morning, after a lingering i'll
ness. For some years past Mrs.
Hewitt has been afflicted with mel
ancholia, caused from brooding
over the death of her daughter,
Kate, about seventeen years ago
Mr.. and Mrs. Hewitt would, in a
short time, have been married sc
years. Her maiden name was Miss
Margaret Bartlett; she is survives
by two sisters. This is the third
death in this family in less than a
year, each occurring on the Doth OF
the month. A nephew, Fleming
Hewitt, died on the 29th Of No
Tember. Another nephew, Albert
Hewitt, Of Port Republic, died on
May 30, and Mrs. Clark Hewitt,
IN June 30.

ANENT THE WORRIES
OF BANK OFFICIALS

Robberies of banks and public
funds by trusted officials are be-
coming more numerous each year.
Perhaps men are not growing less
honest but the extravagant mode Of
living is largely responsible. Then
there. seems to be certain class OF
young man are eligible-he is in
young men are eligible is in
the social or political set and his
easy, suave manners, with up-to-
date habits secure for him recogni-
ton. Popularity is the open Sc
same to trusted positions.
Living beyond ones means and
cultivating extravagant habits i
the cause of wrecking thousands Of
young men. When these young
men marry their complications be-
come greater. They usually choose
pretty butterfly of fashion. She
naturally demands all the. details
Of fast set and finally the hus-
band finds himself irretrievably
involved.
Older men, those with less ex-
pensive habits, those less easily
tempted, those with large and rip
ened experience will eventually
displace the present craze for
young men of immature judgment
Simplicity Of life is one factor
which will ultimately lead to more
trustworthy officials.
Apropos Of dishonesty, parents
are absolutely responsible for its
development in children. People
who blanch at the thought Of shop
lifting or an absconding bank clerk
openly practice dishonesty and
train their children in the same.

the age of a child on cars, to save
fare, when they withhold carfare

Next weeks council meeting will
decide what the Borough wants in
the road matter. 1t is anticipated
that as all the other horoughs have
pooled their interests in one point,
Linwood viii follow suit. Never
theless many of the citizens Will
never feel satisfied to expend thou
sands of dollars fer a road too mar
row for safe service. There Is a
willingness on the part OF many
property owners to give ten feet
from the front of their property for
the benefit of the public. Why this
is not accepted from those who wish
to so contribute and compel the
other property holders to also give
their share is puzzle to quite
number.
Linwood is finally to have Rur-
al Free Delivery Service. Several
applicants are in the field. Bor-
ough Clerk, james Parish, will
temporarily fill the position and
may be the appointed one later.
The position pays $3.50 yearly and
only requires few hours of atten-
tion.

Manager Gaskill Says Demand
for Coin Was Operators Error

An erroneous impression was
created by the article which appear

great fire. One particular news
item was responsible, that which
told of the incident between Mr..
Louis Zentmayer and an operator
for the Coast Telephone Co.
Information was given The
Press the morning of the fire to
the effect that only the Bell Tele-
phone Go. rendered free fire SER
vice, and that the Coast does not
extend this courtesy, whereas, in
act, both companies never charge
soll in times of disaster.
District Manager Gaskill, of the
5oast Company, wishes The Press
20 correct the impression and in
justice to his company, great pleas.
ure is taken in complying with the
request. Mr.. Gaskill informs us
that nearly every fire call in At
