Editors Pleasantville Press
The people of Pleasa&tville are
honored in having among them a
Cody man like Brother Daniel W.
Macmillan. No one knows but the
Master the good this sainted brother
and his splendid wife have done for
our pretty little city. The writer had
the honor of spending several hours
in the home with Brother and Sister
Macmillan and was introduced to the
sweet little boys that have come to
brighten these good peoples lives. I
wish there were more homes like this
one to care for some of Gods little
ones. Over in one corner of the liv-
ing room of the home was the place
given the Boy Scouts by Sister Mac
MILAN for their wireless apparatus,
and trophies and flags were every
where, all belonging to the Boy
Scouts. Friday night is a big night
az oIOtlSI MdCNlllldIl >, when UHS
"boys" are taught scouting, wagging,
wireless and other accomplishments.
l looked around the room and said to
myself, ooh, if Pleasantville only had
more such homes where the boys of
our city could get together there
would not be such ~disgraceful fights
as | saw a few nights ago at the no.
tel corner" Boys and girls must
have some place to c~ongregate, and
let us by all means give them a de-
cent place. Brother Macmillan is
one of the founders of the Rescue
Mission of Atlantic City and Satur-
day night is P~leasantville night and
if you want to enjoy yourselves go
some night and hear what God has
done for those who were down and
out. If in our city there is a man,
woman or child in trouble of any sort.
go to Mr.. and Mrs. Macmillan and
they will help you, and rest assured
your confidence will not be misplaced.

Hubin On the Sewerage Question.


Editors Pleasantville Press
l have just received word from the
Department of Health of the State of
New Jersey at Trenton that their de-
partment is ready to go ahead on
plans for sewerage for Pleasantville,
and that our Mayor has been notified
to submit plans on the Sewerage Sys-
tenn for P|leasantville to the State
Health Department. Now, this should
be attended to at once. If we want
our city to progress we must first
make u city sanitary, clean and free
from sickness and disease and that
can never be done unless we have sew
erage. Just to think of a cesspool
being cleaned on the principal corner
of our city and the stencil and odor
from it would not allow the residents
in the neighborhood to sleep during
the night. Then answer the ques-
ton: How Can Pleasantville be heal
thy without Sewerage? Just look
back a little. Pleasantville is just as
bad, in fact worse, in its sanitary
conditions as it was 40 or so years
ago. When l say worse, look at the
growth of the City, and the same rule
prevails as it did years ago, only the
city has grown larger and the SAM
tary Conditions worse. Then again,
where the houses are closely built the
liquid m~atter\from the ~cesspools pen
etrates through the walls of base
ments of the houses in the neighbor-
hood and leaves a foul and sickly
odor which will sooner or later cause
typhoid and other contagious diseas-
es. Then again, certain restaurants
IN the heart of the City have cess
pools under their buildings. This is
what is causing no end of sickness in
Pl%easantville. We cannot have fac
tories in P~leasantville unless they
comply with the State law in regard
to sanitary conditions, both in the
factories and housing of their en-
ployees. Look at the health of our
children in the Public Schools, where
sanitary sewerage is lacking. There
is only n solution to see Pleasant
vile go ahead as a progressive city,
and that is, Pleasantville must have
Sewerage, and it is up to our citizens
who have the interest of the city at
heart to go before City Council at
their next meeting, Monday night,
June 5, and demand City Council to
take action at once on Sewerage for
Pleasantville. Then we can say to
the world, Come to Pleasantville to
live and become a citizen of the Best
Town on the Map-a clean, up-to-
date City, with healthful surroundings,
good schools, good churches, GOOD
fire and police departments, good
stores, banks, water, lights, etc., and
with an up-to-date Sewerage System.

array OF HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.

The recent effort Of Lord Bryce, the well
known knglIshman, to create an effort on the
mart OF the churches Of Great Britain TO control
fine terms of peace through arouslng a charitable
view on the part Of the British people IS a sign
OF returning sense among some OF the oelllsereh'S
VI Europe. ..
The viscount said that the people must insist
in expressing an opinion on the terms OF the
treaty of peace which must eventually be entered
into by the warning powers. In order to express
that opinion they must first form an opinion and
he called on the church to do their part IN mould
ing it. With regard to the making OF peace ne
%counseled Englishmen to repress the spirit OF ha-
tired. Was it wise, he asked, to talk OF banning
a whole people for all time to come? The German
peopte had themselves to learn the truth about
the crimes of the war.
10 indulge in revenge would be to SOW the
seed of future wars. Nations could not hate one
another forever. Serious terms might have to
be imposed on the foe, but they ought not to be
imposed in any spirit of hatred.
Lord Bryce said it had been suggested that
after peace had been concluded a new war OF trade
was to follow the war Of arms. The proposal, he
said, had immense capacities for mischief. Such
a trade war would prolong and enabitter afresh
those hatreds that ought to be allowed to die. He
urged his heares to consult reason rather than
passion.
An expression such as this coming from the
eminent British statesman is Of inestimable value
to the world at large and should be seized upon as
the basis Of worldwide disapprobation Of any
war after the war. which must, as the eminent
statesman says, SOW the seeds of future wars.

JUST N~EIGHBORLINESS.

Stop a minute! Think Of the great humaniz-
ing quality of neighborliness.
Contrast a community where it thrives and
fourishes with one where it is a negligible guam
tlty.
Consider how gregarious a creature is man,
and how his very nature demands intercourse
with his fellows.
Sit down and reckon up the per cent of your
comfort and happiness that depends in WHOLE or in
part on the good will of your neighbors.
Think what you would be without neighbors
"a modern Robinson Crusoe, a hermit.
Honestly, now, don't about nine-tenths of the
enjoyments of life come either directly or indi-
rectly from your neighbors? They certainly do.
Web, now, are you doing YOUR part as q
neighbor? Remember, your neighbor needs a
neignbor as badly as you do-and you are he.
Are you doing your full part to pass along the
little acts OF neighborliness and kindness that
are extended to you? Or are you like the sponge,
absorb until you are full and never give up until
you are squeezed?
Now ask yourself this question: "What
would this world be if every other man were just
like me?"
Are you a n%eighbor, or a sponge?

THIS is IT, DAY.

This is the anniversary of the dis
covery Of America by Christopher CO.
lumbus. He and his noble band of
sailor-adventurers, after months of
hardships and uncertainty, sighted
land on October IL, 1902. Italian
American associations are making a
more determined fight each year for a
more general observance of the day.
Many states have statutes on their
books designating October IL a legal
holiday. 1t is argued that it is just
as necessary to honor the man who
discovered the country as it is to hon.
or those who shared in it's progress.
Throughout the country the schools
are holding special exercises, the hero
of which is Christopher Columbus.
