Narrowly Escapes Death
In Motorcycle Smashup,

Reckless driving by an automobilist
who tried to pass a car at n of the
sharp turns on the road to Mays Land
ing and who ran into a motorcycle
ridden by Walter Sanders, son of Mark
Sanders, of Pleasantville, on Sunday
morning, nearly cost the life of the
rider. Both bones of the lower part
of Sanders left leg were broken.
The accident occurred midway be-
tween Pleasantville and Mays Land
ing. Sanders was proceeding at a
moderate rate of speed when the auto
mobile which was running at a high
rate, attempted when rounding a curve
to shoot in ahead of an automobile
which was a short distance ahead.
Instead of accomplishing this he ran
into Sanders, hurting him from his
motorcycle and completely demolishing
it. How Sanders escaped death is a
mystery.

now has factories at Egg Harbor City,
Hammonton. Vineland, Norristown

essary machinery and will start up at

tee steady work to employees. Full
information as to work and pay ear

sired a much larger. and more con-
venient up-to-date factory will be built

DOINGS AT

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Burns, of West
Philadelphia, spent several days at
Oakhurst as the guest of Mrs. Calvin
Burns. Mr.. Burns said the air here
was worth travelling many times the
distance, for wen though it was very
hot, there was much difference between
this and the heated air of town.
Mrs. Alvin Guile, of South 51st ST.,
Philadelphia, enjoyed a brief visit to
Pleasantville and found so much to
praise in Oakhurst hat it vas with
great regret she wendell her way sta.
tionward, and thinks seriously of buy
ing the lots adjoining her hostess, Mrs.
Calvin Burns.
All the new bungalows built in the
spring are now occupied and there are
no empty houses except the Buchanan
property, the owner of which died sud-
denly several months ago, and the
Shade home, corner Oh Chalfonte and
Seneca avenues, acrosS from which
eight lots have recently been sold, while
the prospect of a trolley out Woodland
avenue makes those lots the next best
bargain. We would like to see our
corner of P~leasantville' all built up
soon.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Barnett, Jr., of
Washington, D. c., spent a week at
''The Cables, and Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Barnett, DR.. Fennimore Johnson, Mr..
Riddell, Mr.. Geo. Brewer of Camden,
and many others were there to see
him before he j%ourneyed to Buffalo,
where he spent some time as ticket
receiver before going to Altoona, and
thence to his present position with the
same company in the D. of c.
Miss Mildred Burns, who has been
having some working experience in
Taubel's Hosiery Mill, has notified
them she will be obliged to leave at
the end of the week, to prepare for

Another POstpOnement
In Normal Site Selection.

All P~leasantville was disappointed
that the State Board of Education
failed to select a site for the South
Jersey Normal School at its meeting
last Saturday. Although the matter
has been under consideration since
last April the Normal School Commit
tee could not agree upon a location,
one member favoring Pleasantville,
another Bridgeton, and the third
Woodbury.. The Board decided that
they would have to make the decision
as a body, and since some of the
members had not viewed any of the
sites it was decided to give them the
opportunity to do so this month and
action in the matter was postponed
until September Sth.

Reeves Goes to Giants.

1t has just come to our ears that
Norman "Beeves" Reeves has been
signed by a scout from the New York
Giants. He is to report to that team
within a few days, so we will not see
our star in Pleasantville's lineup any
more.
We are exceedingly glad that Reeves
has been looked Upon with such favor.
He is a very good ball player and one
who puts every ounce of energy into
the game. We know that Dame For
tune knocks at the door at least once
in every persons lifetime. and al
though we regret to lose Reeves, we
are pleased that he has an opportunity
to make a name for himself, Our
best wishes go with him. May he be
successful. Let's fill cups. Here's
to you, "Beeves." Good luck!
Today there will be no ball game
at Adams Park. The boys are jour
neying to B%ridgeton to play the glass
blowers on their home grounds.
