of Education members are to be congrat-

truant officer Mr. Charles S. Snyder.
This man seems to be peculiarly adapt I'd

ner he has displayed in taking hold OF
the work marks him as the most sue
cessful person to fill the position. He
has combined two important points-he
has increased the school attendance by
winning over indifferent parents and
pupils. In doing this he retained the
good will of the people by using per
suasive language and interpretations OF

EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SERVICE
Bell System was Equal to Storm and Fire
Exigencies

Saturdays blizzard elsewhere than in
Atlantic County gave further proof oi
the efficiency of the Bell Telephone Com
pany's service. Commenting on this the
Philadelphia North American had this to
say:
Throughout the storm that has just
visited this city, one public utility com
pany at least has demonstrated the
absolute reliability of its service. After
the street cars had stopped running, ant
the railroads abandoned their schedules
the Bell Telephone Company was in ac
tive operation, handling it's ordinary Sun,
day business and the emergency traffi
load imposed upon it with almost every
day facility and dispatch
''While the transportation companie
are struggling to readjust their systems
to the Bell Telephone Company tn.
storm is a thing Of the past-an inciden
that merely tested the efficiency of its
clock like organization
Not without some difficulty, however.
were the exigencies Of such an occasion
coped with. BY noon on Christmas day.
when indications pointed to an unusually
heavy fall Of wet snow, the foremen CT
the several city and suburban districts
were in communication with their helpers,
and the work of keeping the outside plant
in order was assigned"
The efficiency of the Bell service was
demonstrated at the time of the fire
which destroyed Atlantic City's pumping
station. A most plausible reason existed
for the alarm being sent over its wires to
Pleasantville-the Coast service is virtn-
ally nil in this borough, but the surpis-
ing part of the whole thing is that the
words which brought the city firemen to
the scene were sent over the Bells wires,
although officialdom in Atlantic City has
not recognized for some time anything
but Coast service
At the request of Commodore Kuehnle,
the Bells service is now in use between
the pumping station and Atlantic City,
chiefly for emergency use.

Danielson's bakery. This all happened
when people in the neighborhood were
snoozing the last sweet nap, about 40
o'clock. For this reason the first strokes
Of the fire alarm were somewhat un-
ayailing and Messrs. Danielson and jus
tice pulled harder on the rope.

after the first taps of the bell horses 20
draw the new engine were not on hand,
but enough strong arms, legs and bodies
managed to get it to the plug at Craw-
ford's store A little trouble was ex-
perienced in starting the engine, but IN
the meantime Chief Fritsch ordered 4
hose stream to be thrown on the Justice
home which was by that time mass q
flames inside. The stream was as usual
weak, but by the time the engine began
business there was an ample supply 81

RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE
The Truant Officer Has Covered Eight
Little Barefeet.

Considerable activity has been shown
along charitable lines since the last issue
of The Press, in which query was
printed as regards the work of the loci,
churches and the part they fail to play
in assisting the needy persons. One
gentleman, well known for his generosity
in every direction, has informed The
Press that he is assisting at least three
families. When he finds persons suffer
ing he does not let the world know what
he is doing, but he works just the same.
1t is a pleasure to note one exception
to the article in last weeks Press-thc
Mt. Pleasant NJ. Z. church. This con
gregation is credited with doing an al
most unlimited amount OF good for the
needy ones.
Truant officer Charles S. Snyder i,
proving himself to be the right man in
the right place, which is due in all prob
ability to his long experience in the
police department of Philadelphia He
has discovered many worthy cases Of
dcstitution, has sought and found aid
for them and has not spared time or
trouble to extend the limited amount of
relief that has come to him through the
several articles in these columns. He
used the cash contributions SO far re-
ceived to buy shoes and stockings for
four children, making them supremely
happy and comfortable. Other cases OF
want have come to his notice. They
will receive the diplomatic officers at
tention, if he is provided with the means
of assistance.
There may be men and women in this
town who are more fortunate than
others; if these persons will call for Mr.
Snyder to spread their contributions
they can rest assured that the proper
ones will be relieved. The Press Is also
at the service of any who wish to as
sist in relieving distress.
