Mr.. and Mrs. Burt Reeves, Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard Sooy, and Arthur Pepper
motored to New Egypt last Saturday.
visiting some friends.
Some of our residents are agitating
the advisability of organizing civic as
ISOLATION for mutual support and benefit
as it is becoming fixed habit with some
of our neighbors, during the berry seas
on, to import Italians from the larger
cities, paying them less than current
wages, and establishing a standard of
life in these temporary camp commun-
tiles which is shocking, and from hy-
gienic standpoint national menace
slums, to handle food stuffs, is crime,
as the fruit that is eaten uncooked may
carry the germs of disease. Were our
state board of health, in the exercise of
it's police power, as efficient as in the
display of its ingenuity in creating new
ordinances, such gatherings would not
be tolerated.
Vic Ritzendollar and John Apologize,
two of our most substantial citizens, do
not find it necessary, from an economic
standpoint, to lean on the labor supplied
| by southern Europe; and, strangely
enough, neither are they continually
seeking favors or petty political offices
/ from the township. On the other hand,
and it is hardly believable, that while
this township is dependent on the gath
ering of the berry crops for living, |
those who are most active in depriving
our neighbors of the chance to earn a |
living, are the most assiduous in seeking |
petty jobs, as justice of the peace, town
ship committee, etc. Their success is
largely due to their malicious gossiping, |
which enables them to divide our inter I
ests, and govern accordingly. However, /
since necessity teaches many things, to
by our experiences, and civic organiza
ton to deal with the unfit is about due,
as conditions are about ripe to relegate
some of our pseudo-politician to the
scrap heap.
Doctor Wolkin, one of the leaders of
the New York city dental profession,
stayed over the Fourth here. He is one
of our large property owners, and is SO
delighted with our piney woods that he is
considering the erection of dwelling for
Mrs. Wolkin and himself, and we hope /
his ideas will mature into actuality, as
he would be q very valuable addition to
our colony.
Simon Kirshner, of New York city, is
visiting at the home of Miss Annie
Gold, af Chatsworth. Mr.. Kirshner is a |
graduate of Yale, and is making his
mark in commercial circles in the me-
tropolis. AS this is his fourth visit this
year, it would seem as though the pines
possessed some attraction for him.
For latitudinous fummery and senses
less gibble-gabble, our local rodomon-
tade on the county road question has
dwindled to pure drivel. Several lsur
veyors in picturesque outdoor costume
add attraction to the landscape, much /
approved by onr village bellies, and as
the surveyors are young and manly |
looking, our local Lotharios view with
disfavor the continuance of the road
project, but in giving voice to their OBJ
jections the doltish excuses adumbrate
what may be expected when the TRUSTEES
of Trenton camp within our confines.
An exceptionally interesting series of
base ball games was pulled off here on
the Fourth. The home team lost both
decisions, but inasmuch as the visiting
New Egyptians really represented a
picked intercounty all-star aggregation,
our defeat was in no wise discreditable
On former occasion we squelched the
hopes of New Egypt, but this time
they pulled one over on us and carried
home the bacon. Our players lined up
wonderfully well, and if any scouts of
McGraw were around some of our youth
full players would run chance of being
annexed to his string of potential stars.
The home umpire gave some very close
decisions, and invariably against the
home team, which demonstrates that we
can play and lose like sports even when
all is lost but honor.
Mrs Rebecca Dunphy, assisted by the
various members of her family, kept
open house on the Fourth for the recep-
ton of her friends, and as they are
legion, her hospitality was taxed to the
limit. L
Several engagement notices are an
nounced, but as our betrothal plightings
are entered on lightly, it involves inevi-
tably cautiousness in publishing assur !
ances.
Our outdoor evening festival on the
Fourth was genuine success. The
great forests of pine trees acting as bar
riers, not only tempered the evening
winds, but lent their aromatic piney
scent which was perpetual delight,
whilst the changes in temperatures be-
ing narrower and less sudden than in
cleared localities permitted climatolo-
gical pleasure not enjoyed elsewhere. A
string band from Philadelphia furnished
the music, and as there was large num-
Der of visitors of both sexes from Man
haitian and Philadelphia, much agree
able and courteous rivalry was displayed
in the figured and rhythmic motion,
which is the poetry of all movements.
Where all show we'll, comparisons are
ungracious, but it is fitting that the
talent display by Miss Maude Bozarth
should be noticed. Some of us who
have witnessed all the past and present |
