MEADOW BOULEVARD
TO BE PAVED SOON.

Resolutions calling for the paving of the
Meadow Boulevard it's entire length from
Atlantic City to Pleasantville to the width of
80 feet with Warrenite, at an estimated cost
of 500, 900, were passed by the Board of
Freeholders at their regular monthly meet
ing held on Wednesday, with but one dissent
ing vote. The measure was opposed by
Fighting Andy" Bourgeois, the pugnacious
Freebooter from Weymouth Township, on the
ground that more than one material should
be called for in the specifications.
Now that the Freeholders have decided up
on the paving project bids will be asked for
and to be submitted at the November meet
ing of the Board. 1t is the plan to rush the
preliminaries so that the successful bidder
may begin work at once. IN early start on
the job would enable the contractors to have
the new roadway completed before the sum
mer season rolls around.
1t is understood that the County will Shout
der the entire cost of this paving. The mat
ter was settled at a recent meeting of the
Freeholders with Colonel Stevens, of the
State Department. The State aid taken from
the paving project will go toward the building
of the Absecon boulevard.

Our Native Town.

We like to see and hear a man
who is proud of his native town.
He is an indispensable citizen, al
though he may be as poor as a
church mouse; but his name
should be written in large letters
at the entrance gate of his town
as an honor to his memory. We
have such with us and they are
worth more to the progress of our
town than their weight in gold.
They know every point of interest
and of advantage for miles around,
and any stranger falling into their
hands will soon learn everything
that adds to the honor of our
town and will be most favorably
impressed. Such persons over
look with true patriotism all
shortcomings and magnify with
honest citizenship every advan-
tage. Ye grumblers, mediate.

A pretty maid can make wise

young bloods and bald headed old

pack of hungry dogs trailing a
bone. She can raise more simon

TWO GOLDEN DAYS

There are two days of the week
upon which and about which !
never worry, two care-free days
kept sacredly free from fear and
apprehension.
One of these is Yesterday.
Yesterday with all its cares and
frets, with all its pains and aches,
all its faults, its mistakes and
blunders. has passed beyond the
reach of my recall. / cannot un-
do an act that wrought. l can
not unsay a word that said on
Yesterday. All that it holds Of
life, of regret and sorrow, is in
the hand Of the Mighty Love that
can bring sweet waters out of the
bitterest desert--the love that can
make the wrong things right,
that can turn weeping into laugh
tier, that can give beauty for
ashes, the garment of praise for
the spirit of heaviness, joy of the
morning for the woe of night.
Save for the beautiful memories
that linger, sweet and tender like
the perfume of roses, in the heart
of the day that is gone, I have
nothing to do with yesterday.
| And the other day / do moi
worry about is Tomorrow. To.
morrow, with all its possible ad-
versities, its burdens, its perils,
its large promises and poor per-
Torrance, its failures and mis-.
takes. is as far beyond the reach
of my mastery as its dead sister
yesterday. Its sun will rise in
roseate splendor, or beyond a
mask of weeping clouds. But il
will rise. Until then the same
love and patience that held yester-
day. and holds tomorrow, shines
with tender promise into the heart
of today. have no possession
in that unborn day of grace. All
else is in the infinite keeping of
that Infinite Love that holds for
me the treasure of yesterday, the
love that is higher than the stars,
wider than the sky, ldeeper than
the seas.
There is left for myself, then,
but one day of the week--today.
Any man. can fight the battles of
today. ANY woman can carry
the burdens of just one day.

Time Has Wrought Wonderful Changes

In these days when all persons
feel themselves free to debate all
questions at all times and places,
a bit of old history from the Jour-
nal of Education shows that this
was not always SO.
The educational magazine says
that in 1927 an application was
made to the school board of Lam
caster, o., for the use of the
schoolhouse for debate on the
question, Are Railroads Practic-
al or not3" The board refused
to consent to the opening of the
schoolhouse for a debate on such
foolish proposition and made its
answer a part of the formal pro-
ceedings, part of which read,
You are welcome to use the
schoolhouse to debate all proper
questions in, but such things as
railroads and telegraphs are i'm
possible and rank infidelities
There is nothing in the Word OF
God about them. If God had de-
signed that his intelligent crea-
lures should travel at the fright
full speed of fifteen miles an hour
by steam, He would clearly have
foretold it through His holy
prophets. 1t is a device of satan
to lead immortal souls down to
hell"
In this connection it's crafty
ing to note that SO far as the
thinking public is concerned the
attitude of the populace toward
the railroads has undergone a de-
cided change, although lin the
minds of certain professional poli-
ticians and agitators the position
held by the old school board is
well TAKEN
The people of to-day realize the
Importance of the railroads and
see the justice in, the demands of
the carriers that they be given a
fair deal by the regulating bodies
and that conservation" should
be stressed as much in the regu-
lating scheme as regulation"
itself. Surely time has wrought
some wonderful changes.
