ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
CAUSES PAINFUL INJURY.

Joseph Timlin, of East Delilah Road,
an employee of the Hill Dredging
Company, met with an accident last
Sunday which might easilv have been
fatal, but from which he fortunately
escaped without serious injury. 1t
seems that Mr.. Timlin was on duty
when suddenly he heard a shot and
felt the sting of a number of small
pellets upon his neck and rms He
later discovered that a man had fired
a large horse pistol loaded with No.
8 shot in the direction of the dredge,
not knowing that any was around.
A local physician was called and sue
ceeded in picking out several of the
shot which fortunately had not pene-
trated verv deep but which caused the
unfortunate victim of the shooting
considerable pain.

WHAT THE STATE COMMISSION
Err OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES SAID
OF PLEASANTyILLE'S LITTLE
LIBRARY.

The audience which gathered in the
Pleasantville High School Auditorium
to hear Miss Askew on Tuesday eve
ming last was disappointingly small
IN numbers, but it was very full of
enthusiasm and enjoyed every mo-
ment Of her talk. She is an easy
speaker and very well posted along
hJr Inc Of work. Also she is a good
tory teller.
DR.. William Whitney introduced the
speaker and Mr.. Albert E. James,
President of City Council, thanked
Miss Askew for her delightful adj
dress, and also extended the thanks
of the Library Board of Trustees to
the Board of Education for the very
generous support they have given in
providing a room and shelving to
house the Library. He also suggest
ed that as about thirty dollars is nee
essary to get about 600 additional
books, now in the basement of the
High School, ca~talogued and ready
for the shelves, that the citizens be
invited to contribute the amount.
Twelve Dollars was raised that eve
ming. If any public spirited person
desires to contribute any sum, little
or much, the Treasurer, Mrs. j. H.
North, will be glad to receive it.
Since her return to Trenton, Miss
Askew has sent to the Board of Trus-
tees the following commendatory
words:
Il would like for you people to put
something like the following in your
paper down there, because l think it
,r,0.1ll ho nnn1 for v0J1r aoIlC0 XnII
may say l said so.
81 think your committee has done
most wonderful work, and few ibrar-
les have equalled yours in growth for
the time you have been in existence.
Your collection of books and the ship
shape order of the library makes it a
very great credit to you and to the
town. You have the foundation for
a splendid town library and it should
be supported by everyone. No one In
your town need go to another city for
his books; but by giving you the sup
port of his patronage and the money
he would spend in going to another
town, he can have at his command
the very best. If you can get the
none for the needed new books from
time to time and to employ a librar-
ian to keep the library open daily,
your continued success is assured, be-
cause of the great enthusiasm of
those in charge. Remember, howev-
er, that a library to be of the greatest
use must belong to the whole town
and be supported by the whole town.
I think you were most fortunate in
getting the cooperation of your
school principal"

CITY TO HAVE BIG
PATRIOTIC RALLY.
Event FOstered By Pleasantville Base
Ball Association In Connection
With Opening Game.

May 18th is the date set for a big
patriotic rally in the City of Pleas
antville. Plans for the same were
laid at the first regular meeting of
the Pleasantville Baseball Associa-
ton held Wednesday evening. Ten
tative arrangements have been made
for the following events:
(A) Grand Parade led by the
Pleasantville Band. In line will be
the Pleasantville Baseball team and
their opponents for the opening game,
the well-known Melrose A. C. of At
lantic City, the Boy Scouts, a fotilla
of touring cars, handsomely decorated
with our national colors, a squad Of
commercial cars, and any %organiza-
tions that may arrange to enter the
grand pageant.
OBJ Flag Raising at the Ball Park.
A beautiful new American flag has
been donated by a friend of the boys
and the day offers the occasion for
making suitable acknowledgment of
the appreciation of the gift.
(C) Long Distance Throwing by
members of the two baseball teams.
This is a unique feature of the days
program and should produce some in
teresting results. Each player will
line up at the home plate and do his
best toward throwing to the flag pole
in center field.
The parade will form at Main
Street and Washington Avenue. The
marshals will at an early date desig-
nate the forming places for the diff
ferent classes of automobiles. The
line will probably march to Park Ave
nue. and return, up to Woodland and
return to the Ball Park, where every
one will be admitted. Then will take
place the flag raising, the long dis
lance ball throwing and the throwing
out of the first ball of the season by
Mayor Thomas F. Crawford.
The Committee in charge of ar
rangements will include Scott NJ.
Long, Raymond G. Ireland, Charles S.
Lutz, Edwin Woolbert, Clarence B.
Davis, and Charles M. Kesler, who
achieved such results with a similar
parade held in Absecon last Saturday.
Everybody is urged to bear the date
in mind, and have their places ap-
propriately bedecked with flags and
bunting. An effort will also be made
to have the stores closed from 2 to ..
Sherwood Risley will manage the
team again this year, Roger Will
liams is secretary, and Cliff Wilson
treasurer.

BAYMEN PLAN A TEST
OF SHELLFISH ORDINANCE.

That the baymen are determined to
fight in the higher courts the ordin-
ance recently passed by the Atlantic
City Commissioners prohibiting the
taking of shellfsh from waters sur
rounding the resort was indicated
Thursday when Henry Risley, aged
81, was arraigned before Recorder
Gaskill on a charge of taking CLAIMS
from the Thoroughfare. Through
Risley's counsel it developed that a
test is to be made on his case, and
the proceedings were consequently
adjourned to May 1, when arrange
ments will have been perfected for
keeping a thorough record of the pro-
ceedings. Practically all the baymen,
it is reported, are behind Risley, in
his determination to test out the con
stitutionality of the prohibitive ordin-
ance.

MEETING OF PUBLIC
HEALTH COMMITTEE.

The meeting in the Pleasantville
High School building on Thursday
evening last under the auspices of the
Public Health Committee of the New

structive, and it is unfortunate that
every citizen of the city was not in
attendance. DR.. Blair Stewart told in
an interesting way of "The Value of
Cleanup Week., and since we have
on at this time a campaign of this
character his remarks were particu-
larly timely. DR.. Emery Marvel dis
cussed that dreaded disease Cancer"
in a most intelligent manner. DR..
Clara Bartlett made some timely re-
marks. In addition to these Atlantic
City physicians, Drs. North, Fish,
Harley. Munro and Kaign, of u To-
cal staff, added valuable remarks.
The addresses were interspersed by
solos attractively rendered by Miss
Vena Haskell accompanied on the
piano by Miss Irma Stiles.
