Forest Park Reservation Commission
of New Jersey.

Notice is hereby given that mas
much as the Township Committee of
Monroe Township has failed to appoint
a firewarden as directed by the For
est Commission in accordance with
the law, and inasmuch as no resident
of this township, competent and will
ing to perform the duties of the office
has been found, the State Forest Com
mission has appointed Mr.. Joseph A.
Abbott, of Hammonton, Atlantic
County, to serve as firewarden for the
township of Monroe, Gloucester Co.
All residents of said township who
have need to make fires in proximity
to the forest are required to apply
to Mr.. Abbott for permit in ac-
cordance with Section of the For
est Fire Law, Chapter 1913, Laws of
1906. Mr. Abbott being. at some dis
tance will do the best that he can to
accommodate those who apply for per-
mits, he will however issue no permits
to make fire until he is satisfied that
the burning can be done with safety.
Any person who builds fire in vio-
lation of law will be held liable for
the legal penalty. If this action of
the Forest Commission is, objection
able to the residents of the township
it may be revoked at the request of
township committee accompanied by
evidences that competent local fire.
wardens have been appointed and pro-
vision made for the support of an eff
fective forest fire service.

PUSHING THE Y. NJ. c. A. y


About fifteen men, members of a
general committee, representing the
churches of the city, met in the Cen
tral Baptist Church Monday evening
to begin a successful prosecution of
the Young Mems Christian work in
Gloucester County Mr.. Maydole, a
leader of County Y. NJ. G. A. work
in Camden County, and Mr.. Hatfield,
leader for years in similar work in
Ohio, and now a member of the In
ternational Board of County Y. M. C.
A. work, explained what was needed
to carry on successful work. ~
1t is not building that is essential,
said the speakers, but it is personal
ity and willingness to sacrifice both
time and energy that the lives of
young men and boys may be turned
into the channels of right living and
usefulness This personality and sac
rifice must come from local men who
will be willing to enroll themselves
as leaders in the work among groups
of boys The idea that building is
necessary is wrong. The success of
the work will depend upon the activ-
ity of local men, and upon what they
put into it for the good of the boys
of the community, will depend to what
extent the campaign for the better
ment of boys and men will be success
full.
The work will be carried on under
volunteer leaders directed by a county
secretary. Groups of men and boys
will work under these leaders, study
ling the Bible, discussing political
questions, and interesting themselves
in all questions that make for better
men and a higher type of citizenship.
The group meetings can be held any
where; the success of the whole move
ment will depend on the personality
and virility of the leaders and will
not depend for it's pull upon beau
tiful building whose charms are but
transitory and the cost of up-keep of
which might prove disastrous bur-
den.
The real beginning of the project
will be on April 81, when meetings
will be held in the Protestant church
es of the city. Speakers will be pro-
cured by Mr.. Maydole who will out
line the work from the pulpits of
churches IN Woodbury. and in several
towns of the county In the after
noon Mems and Boys meetings will
be held and the whole movement CIV
en- a mighty impetus. On the follow
ing day (Monday) a dinner will be.
held in Woodbury., when representa-
tives from all parts of the county will
be present and the work and It's re-
quirements fully explained and en-
thusiasm for an active Y. NJ. G. A.
aroused.

Mr. Underwood who occupied the chair
for the evening. yielded same to Mr.. Geo.
e. Pierson, and then gave the report of
the Manufacturers Committee. Mr.. Under
wood said there had been several meetings
of the committee and that a proposition
had been submitted to b. Axe & Co..
whereby building should be erected
suitable for them, they to lease it. paying
10 per cent. OF the cost for rental. If
they chose to buy it at subsequent time.
they should pay fair price for same. but
there would be no iron-clad long term
lease. There has been no reply to this
proposition.
The laundry seems well disposed of,
continued Mr.. Underwood the money is
being raised, the lot has been bought and
it looks like sure thing. There has been
no action as to the shoe factory, which
asked about suitable location in Wood
bury.
The Board adjourned to meet at the
