MERCHANTS ARE
FOR GOOD ROADS

At the Monday evening meeting
of the Merchants Association C. C..
B. John was called to the chair in
the absence of both the president
and vice-presdent, and number of
matters were considered. Bills COW
ering the Halloween celebration
were paid, and plans for the farm
ers' institute, to be held on January
II, were discussed.
Good roads will be given earnest
consideration as soon as the institute
is out of the way, and plans will be
laid for road improvement on the
Jersey side of the Delaware for next
year. New Hope, opposite this city,
has three state roads leading into it
now, and two additional township
roads which are pretty good, and
will be made better, besides two
other roads not so good, while this
city only has two state roads, and
one fairly good township road The
association thinks that good dirt
roads can be made, at small expense,
suitable for all-the-year auto traffic,
and that it will do much to develop
the farm trade locally.

The Surgical Committee for the
New Hope Red Cross is happy! So
many workers came to the Fire
House this week and last that new
table has been ordered and work is
going rapidly. Twenty to twenty
five were present and we could use
twenty-five more.
The meetings for Surgical Work
are on Wednesdays and Fridays, and
for sewing hospital shirts, ETC., on
Thursdays of each week.
Helpers are nyeded at the public
school to teach the children WED
nesdays at p. m.) the beginning
of knitting. Only one Red Cross
member went to help Miss Annie
Kelly last week, and because the
Primary Class in knitting, are of
course, beginners, more attention
has to be given to each child.
Please come some of you kind knit
tiers and aid the children to make
the Afghan squares.
The work room of the New Hope
Borough has few needs, 1t needs
more sewing machines. Have you
one you can lend for the winter? 1t
needs a cupboard closet in which
to keep materials and finished work.
Have you one to lend or give? 1t
needs a desk in which to keep let
tiers, bulletins and clerical matters.
Have yeu one? 1t needs old sheets
and pillow cases, table cloths and
napkins, which may be torn into
squares for substitute handkerchiefs
in the hospital.

fine concert every evening from $50
to Ills.
Then the work | am interested in
most. We must keep the boys from
the sins of camp life. Gambling
and swearing thrive among men
without homes but we are organic
ing our Bible classes which meet in
the barracks where the boys live
and it is really wonder to see how
these things change. So many of
the boys are fine Christian chaps and
just need a kindly interest By the
end of this week we will have at
least six classes going. AT Gettys-
burg we had a class in each COM
pany and we will do the same here
with Gods help.
Tonight we organized a class
among the sailor boys in the hospital
corps and what fine time we had.
One of the boys asked me to pray
for him to be the man he ought to
be. | wish | could tell you of the
Individual cases of being cheered
up. Picture this. Getting up at
and exercising, 6.15 to $50; mess
at 6.45; drill from 7.30 to IL 80;
mess again, then drill from | to a,
then back to long shed with about
so other fellows. No home, no plea
sure except what the Young Mems
Christian Association can give them.
Some boys have not written home
for years but here they find warm
room with many writing tables and
free paper and so make their loved
ones happy again. 1t is worth while
to hear from a boy when it is feared
he is lost? One boy told me he had
not written home for five years to
any of his folks; but wrote them
when he found everything so handy
Men have found their master here
and many are very faithful in read
ing His word and living truly Chris
tian lives.
1t is a great joy to be with sucl
an organization and | wish | haC
more to offer, but we need money t,
carry on this work, not only col,
dollars but money given with praye
for its use and may you have much
success. If this work continues, il
must have the support and prayers
of Gods people. | know folks who
really have the Boys interest al
heart will not hesitate now but will
come to the front and have a part
in this work.
Just one personal touch. One
boy had run away from home some
five years ago and mad never written
home He was about as dirty and
filthy chap as | have ever seen and
he could not say anything without
cursing. Finally we got him in a
Bible class and he took the Master
for his captain and Saviour, AMI
what a change. He wrote to his
folks, was able to stand inspection,
which he had never done before,
was clean and what a smile he wore
He told me he never knew that there
was so much joy in life. He asked
for pocket Testament and certainly
enjoyed reading it.
| could tell you of boys (16 to 81
and there are many of them in the
service), who get, so homesick anC
discouraged they will do almost any
thing, but we are able to help then
and cheer them on.
| am enclosing a short address by
Doctor John R. Mott, which,
think, is very interesting. To thinl
of serving twenty-four millions O
men. trust you may help in thi
work.
Yours with much love and haste,

Special Dietetic Course For Lam.
bertville Women Many New
Workers at New Hope.
SOME OF THE THINGS NEEDED

The Red Cross Glass in Home Die
tetics, announced in the spring, will
shortly begin work, under the in
struction of Mrs. Margaret Cochran
Wagg. Mrs. Wagg is a graduate of
the Domestic Science Course in
Teachers College and taught this
subject in the Trenton Normal
school. She has been approved by
the American Red Cross as a Red
Cross Dietetian.
The securing of local instructor
makes possible the reduction of the
fee for the course from Sd to So.
This includes fifteen lessons, text
book and registration fee.
The object of this course, as be-
fore stated, is to teach women the
proper selection and nutritive value
of food and the Importance of
well-balanced diet for adult and
child, the sick and well, in order
that they may not only understand
the underlying principles but apply
such knowledge to the practical per-
Torrance of buying. cooking and
serving in their own homes.
There are few vacancies in the
class and as no one may be admit
ted after work begins, it is impor-
tant that any women who wish this
course communicate at once with
Mrs. Fred Cummings or Mrs. George
W. Prall.
