it would go? That's for the engineers!
Think about what this would for the cOIege And
think about what this would for Newark and Whining

Newark it would help Newark for it would give the real col

years after completion pay the cost of the boulevard many
times Imagine the incompatible home sites in this thrilling

We make ourselves believe that would pay fabu-

Dangerous Blaze At Dover

The moving picture theatre OF
William Boyd, constructed entire
ly of galvanized iron, on LOCKER
man street, between New and
Queen streets, Dover, was the
scene of a dangerous and threat
ening blaze about 2 a. m. on Fri
day. Error in sounding the
alarm delayed the gathering of
the fircmen but they managed to
confine the fire to the building
but quick work and vigilance was
required to prevent other blazes
from flying sparks. Frame struc-
lures were near the front and
rear of the theatre but they es-
capped damage. Mr.. Boyd puts his
loss at $500 with no insurance.
He saved several film rolls but the
furniture, equipment and player
piano were destroyed. Mr.. Boyd
stated that he would not rebuild
and after cleaning away the ruins
would resume work with a ma
chinery firm with which he was
formerly connected.

One hundred people were arrested,
and when they came up in court he
denied that they were his parishion-

before.
This caused the organization of the
new church.
Father Timothy Peshkoff was
chosen priest by the people and was
ordained by Archbishop Villatte of
the Old Catholic Orthodox church
over the protest of Archbishop Evdo-
kim of the Russian Orthodox Catho-
lie church.
The independent church is located
at Wood and Walton streets. Next to
it is a tiny schooIhouse where three
days week Russian is taught to the
children and English is taught the
grown-ups. Father Peshkoff preach
es regular sermon on Sunday and
then there is an Illustrated lecture.
DR.. M. Salud lectures on hygiene,
Jan Sokolov tells of Russian history,
Atty Damon Orlovsky talks on Unit
ed States laws.
"Our aim is to educate the Rus
sian immigrant in this country and
to make him U. S. Citizen" Father
Peshkoff told Day Book reporter.
"Our congregation is growing and
our volunteer lecturers are visiting
the Russian colonies around Chicago,
giving their messages of knowledge
and at the same time bringing the
message of the church"
