Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-06-14
ANGLESEA

Collector P. L. Peterson, acting-sec-
rotary of the Fishermen's Protective
Association of Five Mile Beach, re-
ceived a very encouraging letter from
the headquarters of the United States
Food administration at Washington,
ID. O., advising that the retail situation
is having the immediate attention of
the food administrators, and the belief
is expressed that in consequence Of the
efforts now being put forth by that de-
partment relief will be had and better
treatment of fishermen will be obser-
we'd. We are glad the protests of the
protective association are beginning to
be felt, and better prices to fishermen
are already noticeable. Marked copies
of the JOURNAL are being mailed to
Herbert G. Hoover, Washington, D. g.,
and to the State Fish and Game Com-
missioner at Trenton, showing fisher
mems grievances.

In the cases of the Common wealth
against John Sturmer, proprietor ofthe
| Walnut Avenue House, and against
Robert Moore, of the Inlet Hotel, a
dismissal occurred In both instances.
In the former suit there seemed to be
a lack of sufficient evidence, and in the
latter a dismissal was obtained on TECH
nical grounds. Lawyer Davis, of Cam
den, in defending Moore unearthed a
law way back in 1912, on which to
raise up his technical obstruction. The
dism issal of the cases by Judge FL
dredge does not constitute a bar to
further proceedings if deemed advisa-
BILE or necessary. The C charges against
both defendants were illegal Sunday
selling of liquor in Anglesea.
Mrs. Bowers received a letter recently
from Corporal H. Sawyer, Of Co. B.,
SOL Engineers Service Battalion, of
the American Expeditionary forces in
France, where he has been for more
than a year, having enlisted in March,

Mr.. Bowers Ia 26 years of age; was
welI-liked by all who knew him in
Auglesea, where he worked for the
Ocean Fish company. Formerly his
home was in Millville. In his letter TO
Mrs. Bowers Corporal Sawyer sends
heartfelt greetings to all his friends
and acquaintances.

A very interesting game of ball was
played at Anglesea last Saturday be-
tween the married and unmarried men,
resulting in a victory for the married
men. The feature OF the game was the
terrific hitting of Robert Long and
Stanley Holmes for the married men,
Holmes being recently married. Red
ding pitched for the married and PAN
coast for the unmarried men. The
married men were victorious by a score
of s to 6. There will be another game
tomorrow, Saturday, at the Anglesea
diamond, Third aud New Jersey ave-
nues, as the defeated team is not salts
fed, but Manager Holmes says let the
single men come on and be beaten
worse next time.
