by promulgating "orders-in.eouncil'

they have assumed the right to ere
ate q situation that might have been

situation has led these two belliger-

AUTO WRECKED
Oakland Touring Car Crashed Int
Fair Ground Fence at Elm Grove
Early Saturday Morning.

An Oakland touring car. said to be
the property OF NJ. Somehow OF this
city. was wrecked early Saturday
morning when IL crashed into the fence
surrounding the Elm Grove fair
grounds. Just how the accident oc-
cured could not be learned. but indi-
cations point to the fact that II was
travelling at a rate OF speed that made
IL impossible for the driver to make
the turn as he left the Stone bridge.
The fact remains that IL climbed the
curb. mashed on both the front and
rear wheels on the right side of the
machine, bent the front axle and
knocked OF the two tires on the other
side.
At an early hour Saturday morning
a truck from the city was SEN to the
scene OF the mishap and brought in the
wrecked car. Who the occupants are
could not be learned. but indications
are a "joyride" was one. Mr.. Some.
born was not in the machine at the
time. and 1t was being used without
his knowledge or consent.

years. or In the history of their res.

number Of local persons 70 register for

than to prepare a spread at home. but
there were few to register from out-of.

hotels had only four persons TO register
from out OF the city for lodging dur.
ing the entire day. II was so quiet
about the Hobbies that one felt as II
ne were in a morgue. There was little
street a traffic. while there were
comparatively few automobiles in the
streets for Saturday. Those that were
out were filled with bundles and bas.
kets, being taken to the homes of un.
fortunates that they. too, might have
an enjoyable Christmas.
Did you notice this: That in lieu
OF the explosion of fireworks this
CHRISTMAS there was a great deal more
o~utpouring OF the heart in making
others happy. 1t would have been a
sad. lonesome Christmas for many of
the poor this year II those in better
circumstances had not turned up the
