Summit Notes

Street Superintendent William il.
Swain has found that the average
number of vehicles of all kinds which
pass through Maple street, between
Springfield avenue and Union place,
averages eighty per hour. Because
OF the heavy traffic through this
street an dthe congestion at the east
and west corners of Maple street at
Springfield avenue, the street COM
nlittee has under consideration the
location of a traffic warning sign at
the intersection of Maple street and
Highland avenue with Springfield
avenue.
Plans for the placing of a semi
professional baseball team in this
city have been abandoned. j. Robert
Connaugllton, of New York, who
sought to secure the Morris avenue
baseball ground in North Summit,
was willing to pay rental Of $50 per
month for the ground, but the owner,
Jonathan Bonnel, asks $3.50 for rental
for the season and negotiations have
been dropped. As semi-professional
baseball could not be played here
Sundays, Mr.. Connaughtfn believes
he could not afford to pay the higher
rental for the ground

TELLS MORR|STOWN
Of DENTAL DANGER
1r. Kussy, of Newark, Urges
Town to Care for Teeth of
the Poor.
tspecial to the Evening stsr.I

MORRISTOWN, April 17.--Dr.
Joseph Kussy, president OF the New
ark Dental Clinic, spoke on free dem
tai clinics at the meeting of the Wom-
ems Town Improvement Committee
in the DeIIart offices, on South street,
yesterday afternoon. Miss Bessie
Amerman, who came from the Ma
tional Association of Public Health,
of New York city, spoke on district
nursing A paper was read on the
subject of dental clinics, which was
prepared by DR.. Henry N. Dodge, of
this town.
DR.. Kussy sketched the history and
the rapid growth of the free dental
clinics in the city of Newark, and
with instructive statistics and quota
tions impressed the necessity of free
clinics in every place. The mouth, he
said, was the gateway by which most
of the diseases enter the body and
the main means of infection. By
keeping the mouth of the individual
in a healthy condition the health of
not only the individual but the COM
munity is improved. This work is
most important, he said, "for of what
use is the pure food law if the mouth
through which it must pass is unhy-
gienic?" He said in Newark the two
clinics were used for the school chill
dred under sixteen, and the attend
ance had been so great that another
was contemplated. He suggested that
an age limit be made for a local
clinic.
Miss Amerman gave a brief history
of nursing and then sketched the
wonderful development of district
nursing and its influences for good in
any community. The district nuhse,
Miss Amerman said, was welcome
anywhere, and is a greater force as
a social unit than the hospitals, as
the latter deals with the individual
case and the former benefits the
whole family. She named some OF the
ways In which district nurses are of
use.
DIR. Dodge's paper showed the great
need of dental clinics. His paper
was particularly interesting as he is
a dentist.

CHURCHES OPPOSE
MAILS ON SUNDAY
Summit Board of Trade Expects
! Resistance, but Will Con-
tinue Fight.
Especial to the Evening star.l


: SUMMIT. April 17.-Reealling the
opposition manifested by many men,
bers of the local churches to the
movement to secure Sunday mails
here a year ago those who are behind
the proposition now anticipate similar
resistance from that source.
Members of the Board of Trade,
however, believe there is an urgent
need for Sunday mails. They point
out that there are nearly LOCO com
nluters in this city, most OF whom
are engaged in business in New York
and many of whom find it necessary
in a business way to use the mails
on Sunday.
Postmaster Non-P Partisan.
Postmaster Jones, whose term OF
office expires next March, will take
no sides in the matter OF Sunday
mails, but he believes the delivery
service is adequate. There are eight
mail carriers and four substitute post
men. In the business and residential
sections three daily mail deliveries
are made, while in the outlying sec
tons there is a morning and after
non delivery.
When the opposition to the PROPOSE
ton for Sunday mails here, which
was previously inaugurated by the
Trade Board, the boards committee
dropped the matter. but this time a
determined effort is to be made to
secure the service. There are some
who would be satisfied with one out
going mail on Sunday, but the ma
jority believe an outgoing and incom-
ing service is necessary. Some of
those who are agitating the question
declare that church members who
oppose the proposition are persons
who will not read newspapers Sun
days and who would have the old
blue laws strictly enforced through
out the State.
