Boys Anticipate Opening of Camp
Ockanickon.

Already many boys haye registered
for One,or more weeks at the South Jer-
sey County Young Mems Christian AS
sociations' camp, located in the Pines,
near New Egypt. The first week of the
camp will begin on June %, and this
will be popular week, especially so for
the new 1916 campers.
David s. Rash, Jr., of Haddonfield,
will have charge of the commissary de-
partment, and from the schedule of
menus, it is apparent that the boys will
not lack anything when it comes to
meal time.
A prominent Philadelphia doctor will
be at the camp throughout the four
weeks. The camp directors believe in
this kind of preparedness.
The games, athletic events and even
ing entertainments will be directed by
county secretary Robert G. Shoemaker.
The swimming, life guards and local
camp Ockanickon savings bank, will be
in charge of +. I. Judd, secretary of
Monmouth county. The boating and
aquatic events will be directed by Irving
s. Warner, Of Burlington county.
Harry Hedley Smith, secretary OF
Gloucester county, will be the camp
director and have charge Of the religious
work.
Camp will last for four weeks in order
to meet the demands of the boys. Bur
Iington county is limited to twenty two
campers per week. This is to prevent
any crowding as was evident last year.
Those desiring any particular week or
weeks would do well to make reserva-
tions now, rather than wait until all the
places are filed. There may be some
disappointments for those who delay in
registering.
Detailed instructions telling how t.
reach camp, what to bring, etc., will be
mailed all campers ten days before theil
departure. Until then any detailed in
one of the Burlington county Y. Nj. G.
A. secretaries.

Shall We Purchase +?

That is the question that will be put
to the taxpayers of Northampton town.
ship tomorrow evening. The town
ship committee has considered very fully
the proposition to purchase the plant of
the Mount Holly Water Company. 1t
has been decided that the price to be
paid shall not exceed $103,b00 and the
company has agreed to accept that
amount. A resolution covering this
point has been adopted by the township
committee and it is now up to the tax
payers to say whether the action of the
committee will be ratified.
In order that this entire proposition
may be thoroughly discussed the COM
mittee has called special meeting OF
taxpayers for tomorrow evening at eight
o'clock in the hall of America Fire Com
panv. The committee will be prepared
to answer questions and to submit all
the information on the subject OF OBJ
tanning pure water that is In their pos
session. They have not been idle since

visited many places and viewed many
water plants, SO that they will be able to
talk intelligently on the subject and to
give the experience of other localities on
this very important question.
1t is hoped that there will be good
at this meeting. The town.
ship committee wants the advice OF the
taxpayers and the time to give express
sion to the thoughts of the people on
this subject, especially if there are to be
adverse remarks, will be tomorrow even
ing, and not after the committee has de-
cided to go ahead and do the work.
This is one of the most important ques-
tons that has been put up to the tax
payers in long time and there should
be general expression pro and con.

Sale of Browns Mills.

The old resort of Browns Mills, IA
nous in many parts of the country as a
pleasure and health-restoring place, was
sold under the hammer on Friday. In
days gone by Browns Mills was a place
where picnic parties went with their
families and well-laden baskets and had
good time in various methods of en-
joyment, eating their lunches under the
pine trees and drinking from the springs
water, which If not exactly palatable,
was supposed to have life prolonging
properties. There was a large dance
house and in the evening there were
dances, and the lake was used for boat
ing and fishing. To get to the place the
mode of conveyance was by carriages,
and it was not unusual to see nearly a
hundred teams on the road en- route for
the Mills
But change came over the scene. A
large hotel was erected, Notices were
posted which let the general public
know that picnics were tabooed, and the
name was changed to one that would
give a more aristocratic atmosphere to
the place, even if the smell of the pines
remained the same as in the years gone
by. Browns s. Mills-in-the-P Pines" was
the new title, and keep off the grass"
was the order.
Those who undertook to make big
resort of the place did not meet with the
success that goes with such efforts. To
be sure the country schooner" went
out of existence, automobiles used the
roads and the railroad company ran
trains almost to the hotel door, but the
boom did not get far beyond the railroad
station. Everything was done to make
modern resort out of the fomous old
country picnic grounds. Electric power
was put in, electric lights were placed
around the property, new drives were
laid out and money was spend with the
hope of getting substantial returns, but
all that came Of it was forced sale by a
Master in Chancery.
Thursday was the date Set There
were not many bidders present. Bonds
had been issued to secure payment of a
loan on the property and these had been
guaranteed by a gentleman who was on
hand to see that his interests were pro-
tected. Joe Lennon, who lives in the
neighborhood and knows good thing
when he sees it, took crack at the bid
ding and started the property at $1,000.
Then it went up by fits and jerks, until
Joe thought he had reached his limit
and the place was finally knocked down
to lawyer Joseph Summerill, of Camden,
for $23, 900, with the proviso that back
taxes must be paid 1t subsequently
transpired that Mahlon w. Newton,
proprietor of Green's hotel, PhiIadeI-
phia, was the real purchaser, and that
he had guaranteed the payment of
number of bonds. The total indebted
ness against the property is reported to
be in the neighborhood of 10000.
Another sale that had been set down
for Friday was that of the properly of the
International Poultry Sales Company at
Browns Mills. Had this been effected
all Browns Mills would have been prac-
tically under the hammer, but an adj
journment of the Sales Company prop
erty was made in order to give the bond
holders chance to arrange to take over
the plant.

Track Meet

On Saturday at the Mount Holly Fair
Grounds, the county Y. M. C. A. held q
track meet for the County High shoots.
1t is unfortunate that all the High
schools were not represented by teams.
A team to represent the county seat
especially should have been present, but
due to procrastination and a lack OF
school spirit they were content to let the
other schools of the county come to
Mount Holly and carry away honors
without as much as an effort to oppose
them. Three high schools were entered:
Burlington, Palmyra and Moorestown.
Burlington succeeded in retaining the
championship, capturing from in
dividual events and the relay in fast
schoolboy time. Burlington s total score
was thirty points, while Palmyra was
second with twenty, and Moorestown
third with four.

The New Dog Law.

A new dog law enacted by the legis-
lature last winter went into effect Thurs
day, and it is well for those who have
canine pets to remember it. The act re-
moves all protection from unlicensed
dogs. That is to say, person who kills
an unlicensed dog, if he does it in a
merciful way, cannot be prosecuted in
the courts because he has only exercised
a right that the law gives him.
The result will be, we presume, re-
duction in the number of unowned and
homeless dogs that are menace to
every community in which they are
found. These animals have, in the past
been permitted to live their vagrant
lives because of an unreasonable sym,
pathy that many people have for them.
Half wild, half starved and i'll tenn.
pered, they range the town, feeding on
the unwholesome contents of garbage
cans and boxes, sleeping unprotected
through storms and made the butt O
every mischieyous urchin big enough t.
throw stone or stick, across whose patti
they happen to wander. To end thei
J miserable lives is an act of mercy.

Random Remarks.

Have we any traffic regulations? II
SO, of what use are they ? 1t is frequent
occurrence for one of the township
fathers to park his car on the side Of the
street opposite to that provided by law.
On Friday a large limousine went up
| High street at a rate of speed not less
than 30 miles. On Friday evening there
was meeting of the managers of the
county Y. M. G. A. They came in auto.
mobiles and while they were in consulta-
tion-possibly devising ways to make
youngsters Iaw-abiding citizens-they
allowed their cars, eight in number, to
stand on Brainard street without sign
OF light, front or rear; one of them
turned the wrong way; while one car
stood on High street, parked all right SO
far as direction was concerned, but with
out light. And if anybody had col
lided with any of these cars what a howl
would have gone up. If the traffic regu-
lations are of any value have them en-
forced.
Wednesday was the last day when
dogs were supposed to have unlimited
freedom of the roads and streets Of anv
town. Under new law dogs must be
licensed and tagged, otherwise they are
liable to be put to death. Is this regula-
ton to be enforced or is it to be dead
letter like many other laws and ordin-
ances? If it is to be enforced who is to
do the work? The law provides that
anybody may kill an unlicensed or un-
tagged dog, but what is everybody's
business is nobodys business and the
dogs will probably continue to roam and
bite at will.
At a meeting of the State Board Of
Education, in Trenton, Saturday, Pro-
lessor John P. Walker was relieved of
his duties as superintendent of the State
school for the deaf, position he has
held for II years. Mr.. Walker was re-
lieved at his own request. His successor
is Walter M. Fitzpatrick, now a teacher
in the school for the deaf at Hartford,
Connecticut. So the good work of i'm
porting foreign talent goes on. 1t began
in Indiana and seems to be getting fur
ther east.

Memorial Day in Mount Holly

Memorial Day in Mount Holly.
Fitting ceremonies in observance of
Memorial day were held last Tuesday
morning by Gen. A. E. Shiras Post No.
26, G. A. r. The parade was composed
OF Mount Holly fife and drum corps,
Company E, Uniform Rank of the
Junior Mechanics, Sons of Veterans,
Boy Scouts and ten automobiles that
conveyed the old soldiers. They visited
the Mount Holly cemetery, Brotherhood
cemetery and st. Andrews burying
grounds. The marchers were halted on
Mill street and were served lemonade
by the w. C. T. U. At the Pine street
cemetery the ceremonies of the day took
place over the graveof Gen. A. E. Shiras.
The services of the Grand Army were
read by the officers of the local Pest.
Rev. Thomas s. Hammond, pastor of
the Methodist church, was chosen the
master of ceremonies, and in few we'll
expressed words remembered the late
Rev. DIR. James Stoddard, who had in
the past years taken this part ON the pro-
gram, and spoke Of the great love DR.
Stoddard had for the old soldiers and oil
the high esteem in which he was held
by veterans. Addresses were delivered
by Rev. l.. d. Gottschall, OF the United
Brethren church; Rev. Luther M. Bick
nell, of the Presbyterian church; and tn,
Grafton was delivered by Rev. T. s
Hammond, of the Methodist church
which was a spirited and enthusiast,
patriotic address. All the speakers wer'
interesting and delivered very appropri
ate addresses.
After these exercises the Grand Arm,
and it's escort returned to the Post room
where the Ladies' Aid Of the G. A. r.
had lunch prepared for the marchers.
The old soldiers wish to thank all VIII
aided them, especially those who ful
, nished automobiles.

The Cup Will Stay Here


After the hremen's parade was con-
cluded at Collingswood, recently, the
judges who were to award the prizes de-
cided that Relief Fire Company, Of
Mount Holly, had won the cup for the
Oldest company in line. When the de-
cision was announced there was wall
of disappointment from Haddon Com
pany, of Haddonfield. That company
claimed existence from 1867, twelve years
later than the Mount Holly organization
said it dated, but Haddon had several
objections to the cup coming here.
These were reported in the newspapers
and as they reputed to come from Had
donfield and were not contradicted they
must be taken as correct. One was that
Relief did not produce it's minute book
but rested entirely upon an affidavit and
the belief seemed to prevail that such
book was not in existence. Another OBJ
lection was that Relief did not parade as
a company but went as the Mount Holly
fire department. AS there were only
two Mount Holly companies in line and
as Relief was No. Is and America was
No. q the fallacy of this argument was
apparent. The third objection was that
Relief had changed it's name three
times, hence was not continuous body.
The Collingswood judges heard so
much from Haddonfield and desiring to
have the matter settled definitely and
satisfactorily to themselves, at least, they
sent committee to Mount Holly to look
into the whole subject. The committee
consisted of DR.. Edward Rogers, Mayor
Thomas w. Jack and Charles +. Shaw,
members Of the Collingswood Fire Conn.,
pany, and Rev. J. w. Oil and Rev.
Joseph Childrey, two disinterested citi-
zens. These gentlemen came to Mount
Holly on Wednesday afternoon. They
were shown the original minute book of
Relief Company which dates from July
IL, 1852, and in which the company is
named as Britannia, Of Bridgetown. In
1867 the name was changed to Mount
Holly, and in 1906 it was again changed
to Relief and by that name it has been
known ever since. The committee ex-
amined the minutes, page by page, from
1852 to date to discover if there had been
any break or any disbanding. They
failed to find either and after working
over two hours they decided that Relief
Fire Company had clear title to the
cup and to the designation of "the old
est company"
After concluding their labors the COM
mittee rode around the town and viewed
the many places of interest, among
them the original fire house Of Relief
Company which now stands in st. An
drew's burying ground.
The members of Relief did not have
any fear about retaining the cup know
ing they had the documents to substan-
tiate the claim, and they are very glad
that committee took the trouble to
come to Mount Holly and thoroughly
sean the pages of the old books that are
so highly valued.
