A delegation of the members of the
American Pharmaceutical Association
came to Mount Holly on Saturday after
noon to visit the grave of Prof. William
Proctor, Jr., in the Mount Holly ceme-
tery. Prof. Proctor was a resident of
Mount Holly at the time of his death,
living ON Ridgway street, east of Mount
Holly avenue. He was considered the
most learned man of his time in phar-
maceutical affairs, and his researches
led to many important discoveries. He
was known as the Father of American
Pharmacy"
For many years Prof. Proctor was dean
of the Philadelphia College of Phar-
macy, and was connected with that in
stitution until the time of his death in
1874.
The American Pharmaceutical Asso-
citation has decided to erect at Washing
| ton, ID. c., memorial statue to Prof
Proctor. At meeting of 80 delegates
of the association, held at Philadelphia,
on Saturday, model of the proposed
statue was submitted by the sculptor,
Edward Berge. The model was approx.
ed by the members, who adopted resolu-
tons asking that the American Pharm
aceutical Association follow the design
| WulCll CcilS lOl OIOliACSOhdCuC
of about nine feet in height, on grn-
lite pedestal feet high. 1t is estimated
that the total cost will be about so, 900
of which more than $4,000 have already
been collected.
William Proctor, Jr., was born on May
IL, 1917, in Baltimore, was graduated
from the Philadelphia College of Phar
macy in 1887, was elected professor 0
pharmacy at the college in 1916, became
editor of the American Journal of Phar
macy, and carried on this work for q
! years. He was one of the founders o
the American Pharmaceutical Associa
ton in 1852, and later became its presi
dent.
| Prof. Proctor owned the mount il
} Mount Holly and had planned to erect
E residence there, but his death came bt
t fore the project was consummated. I
t part of the mount had been terraced an
e some trees set out, evidences of whicl
work still remain. The delegation visi
). ed the mount on Saturday and inspecte
!. the same, noting preliminary gradin!
etc., that had been done by Prof. Procte
e Edward b. Jones, who is member
It the National Pharmaceutical Associ
e ton, entertained the delegates durir
d their visit to Mount Holly.

Finally Settled.

After long discussion and considera
ton of different suggestions the subiec
of dividing the appropriations among
the firemen of Mount Holly has finally
been settled by the township COMMITTEES
who set new precedent and practically
decided that the fire department of the
township has no jurisdiction over the
division of the funds and that any sug
gestion it may make on the subject is
simply ggestion-nothing more.
And the committee has also shown that
while it has law back of it to do as it
ought to do, it can cast the statutes to
the wind and act irrespective of law or
suggestions.
The Fire Department asked that the
money be divided in a certain way,
there was objection and the committee
requested action which would relieve it
from taking the responsibility OF making
the division. This was not acceded to
and the firemen decided that what the
department had approved could be
changed only by the department and
not by single company or representa-
tive thereof. Then the township COM
mittee fell thck. on the law only to be
met by three companies who declined TO
stand by the committee, the law or the
committee calmly gave in and approved
proposition made by one man and rati-
fed by three companies. This was suf-
ficent to let the township committee get
out of taking any responsibility and
thus keep square with the firemen.
By the action of the committee Tues
day evening, Relief company will get
$3.50, Just what was recommended by the
Department. Good Intent, with as
many expenses as Relief, generously
gave up 500 of it's share and handed it
to the two hose companies, all in order
that the term of the chief engineer might
be harmonious and react to his glory as
manager.
Each fire company will be asked to pre-
sent to the township authorities de-
tailed statement of the expenditures of
the present year and the possible expen-
ditures of the companies for the next
year and on this the appropriations will
be based and distributed. The Depart
ment will not haye anything to do but
elect it's officers and the chief engineer
and his assistants. Should it go so far
as to suggest how the appropriations be
divided the township committee has
practically decided that such action
would not be binding in any way.
he solution Oh ILLS qucStlOH WHICH,
has been perplexing the township COM
mittee for some time, is evidently pleas
ing to all, certainly to those companies
which received all they asked for and to
the company that gets 800 less than it
declared was absolutely necessary for its
support.
Harmony is good thing to have,
even at 500 per harmony. Relief fire
feels especially satisfied with
the division as it gets what it originally
asked for and what the Department de-
cided upon, as well as from the fact that
it was the one company that, despite the
desperate efforts to have matters go
otherwise and despicable methods used
to create dessension in it's ranks, it stood
to support the township committee in its
request for concerted action to act under
the law on the subject.

Relay Races.

The first attempt of interscholaStiC
athletics was demonstrated before large
and enthusiastic crowd at Burlington on
Saturday, when representatives from
seven of the high schools of the county
ran over a seven mile course competing
for banner to be given the winning
team. Each school sent team of foul
boys who ran the race in regular cross
country order. The referee was Edward
A. Mechlin, of Moorestown, assisted by
Rev. T. s. Brock, of Burlington, and
men from the different schools.
The fastest time was made by Farnum
Preparatory school of Beverly in 54.5
minutes. Burlington High probably
would have finished second, but on the
last lap the fourth man fell and did not
finish, which allowed Moorestown High
to finish second with Moorestowr
Friends High finishing very close be
hind second. Mount Holly finished
fourth, followed by Pemberton and Med
ford. The spectators cheered the win
ners enthusiastically, as the race wa,
evenly contested, especially for second
third and fourth places, Prof, Herman
A. Stees presented the banner to thu
winning team.
The result of the race was gratifying
to the officials as it showed the possibil
ity of high schools cooperating in ath
letics, and demonstrated that the Y. NJ
C. A. was positive factor for good il
cooperating with the boys of the higl
schools in supervising clean athletics.
