The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1918-01-22

There was little interest on the part
OF taxpayers in the budget OF expenses
that was offered for public discussion
on Tuesday, at the meeting of the
Board of Freeholders. The only peo-
pie who did appear and make them
selves heard were the farmers who
asked for sufficient amountof money
to employ farm demonstration and
despite the remarks that showed the
necessity for such an officer, with only
one man speaking in opposition, the
farmers got it where they frequently
apply the axe to their chickens. Next
Tuesday there will be another meeting
open to the public for objections to any
of the proposed changes. There have
been many mutterings on several of
the subjects but it is question wheth-
er those who are talking quietly around
town will be out and dice their opin-
ions in public.

In the changes to be offered for the
budget of expenses for conducting
county affairs there is one that should
not be allowed to be adopted. 1t is
that which cuts down the salary of the
physician to the insane asylum from
5000 to $500. Without objecting to
any of the suggested advances in sal
airy we will draw comparison which
we think will be perfectly fair and show
the absurdity and unfairness of the
proposedchange. The budget, if adopted
as printed, will give the janitor OF the
court house $500 year and will place
the physician to the insane arylum
lower, on a salary basis, than the jani-
tor. One hundred dollars will be added
to the latter's pay and one hundr ed
dollars will be taken from the compen-
fation of the physician. We have no
objection to the janitor getting what it
is proposed to give him, he works hard
and is worth what he gets, but COM
pare the two positions, one is filled by
a man whose only requisite is ability
to do manual labor, while the other
must be a college graduate, must be
continually studying the needs of the
unfortunate creatures under his care,
and who, in reality, is worth twice as
much as the other. The county is get
ting cheap service for $500 from a
gentleman who has shown his ability
to fill the position he occupies. No
body for moment believes that the
Republican majority has suggested
this reduction because the incumbent
is Democrat, but to relieve the situa
ton from any such suspicion the cut
should not be made and the Board
should unanimously agree to keep the
salary at 5000.

PLAN To FURNISH
FARM WORKERS
Soldiers Can Secure Short
Furloughs Under Ger
tain Conditions
RAID ON MUNITION
WORKMEN STOPPED

With the season for harvesting the
corn crop at hand, and the time for
ploushing and planting the 1919 winter
wheat crop rapidly approaching, many
requests have come to the L. 5. En-
ployment Service requesting lnforma-
ton on methods to be pursued in ap-
plying for deferred classification and the
furloughing Of soldiers for the protec-
tion Of food crops
In response 40 these letters there is
summarized here the ruling Of the War
Department on the subject Of deferred
classincations and furloughs as they af-
feet agriculture.
Deferred classification for agricultural
purposes may be granted by district ex-
emptiOn boards If, I'm their opinion, the
condition warrants such action, Appll-
cation for deferred classification should
/ be made to the district exemption board
through the local draft board in accord
ance with instruction on questiOnnaires.
! An agricultural adviser is now allotted
10 each district board
General Orders, No. 81 OF the War
Department, issued April 9, 1918, cover
the entire matter Of granting furloughs
I for men to engage in agriculture.
Commanding officers may grant such
] furloughs whenever 1t is certain that
the action will contribute to the pur-
pose for which they were intended.
Whenever the furloughing Of an en-
listed man substantially interferes with
1.-THE training or preparation Of the or
ganization Of which he is a member the
application will be denied Proper forms
for making out furlough applications
can be secured from local exemption
boards.
An example Of the way the L. S. En-
ployment Service is serving war indus
tries in protecting them from raids on
their working forces is seen in a series
OF kilograms which went through the
administrative Offices at Washington re

A war industry wired its men were

PERsHING, H., Oct This is the
town OF Pershing. down in south CEN
tral Illinois, and, as far as | knoY the
FIRST town in the world named after
General John J. Pershing, commander
OF the American Expedltionary Forces
cover there"
This town was especially made for
war purposes. though il is destined TO
live after peace comes II is beng
built around a hole in the ground. The
hole is a coal hole.
No doubt there will be other towns
named Pershing, but none will do more
toward helping the general win lover
there than this, for here thousands. OF
ions Of coal are to be mined every day.
That means carloads Of bullets. guns,
clothing, and ali the other things sol
diers need in their fighting business.
Coal From Pershing.
Pershing is born because coal is
short. A new shaft 1900 feet deep has
been sung to 20-foot vein of coal. and
the Old Ben Coal Corporation figures
on putting 800 men at work getting out
the coal. beginning about the first OF
December.
Thus far there is only one home in
pershing. that ofthe Clems.
"Yes. I'm the only woman living in
Pershing now" said Mrs. John Clem'
but there'n be more just as soon as
the men folks can get the houses built.
I'm real glad ] live in a town named
after General Pershing, and my two
boys who work in the coal mine say
TO me that they feel like they were in
the army with Pershing, being as they
live in the only town that is named af-
ter the general. And we're going to
make a real town out Of il, maybe a
city. some day.
"When the war os over and General
Pershing comes back with the boys
who beat the Germans, we are going 20
ask him TO come TO Pershing and visit.

SANTA CLAUS TO
VISIT U. S. TROOPS
Permitted However to Take
Only One Package to
Each Soldier
NO LIMIT ON
THE MONEY GIFTS

Arrangements are almost completed
for the nations military Christmas.
The navy will be its own Santa Claus,
but owing to the larger number OF re-
cipients and the greater difficulties Of
transportation all gifts to soldiers will
be handled through the American Red
Cross.
Christmas labels are being distributed
in the army now, one to each soldier
The soldier will send his label TO the
person who is to send him Christmas
box and the box with that label and
that box only, may be sent to that par
ticular soldier. The senders must take
good care Of the labels, for if one is
lost no excuse or explanation will avail
to permit the loser to send a Christmas
box.
No parcel must exceed three pounds
in weight when wrapped. Unwrapped
the limit is two pounds fifteen ounces.
Cartons Of uniform size will be avail
able at Red Cross chapter and auxiliary
headquarters November 1. All paog-
ages must be shipped in these cartons
None will be accepted for shipment
later than November 20.
The contents Of each will be exam
ined by Red Cross officials. No articles
barred by the postal authorities will
be accepted nor must any messages be
included in the parcels: Lists Of the
articles prohibited by the postoftlce
will be furnished by the Red Cross
The Red Cross authorities viii exclude
any articles not deemed proper for
shipment, and so scrupulous is the
standard that has been set that no eX-
aminer will be permitted to inspect
parcels destined for his own soldier
relatives. Postage at parcel post rates
must be paid by the sender to Hoboken,
n. ].
The Red Cross has nothing to do
with Christmas packages for officers
and men Of the navy. nor is it neces-
sary to have any official authority TO
send a parcel TO that branch. All such
packages, whether sent by parcel post
or express must bear the name and
address of the sender, a notation de-
scriptiye OF its contents, such as
"Christmas Box" and the name and
address Of the recipient.
They must be addressed in care OF
the Supply Officer, Fleet Supply Base
Twenty-ninth Street and Third Avenue.
South Brooklyn, n. Y, where they will
be inspected. To facilitate inspection
parcels should be packed in wooden
boxes with hinged or screwed cover
Express packages are limited to twenty
pounds in weight. Postal regulations
govern the size and weight OF those
sent by mail. Charges must be paid to
Brooklyn. No peIfshable food not in
cans or jars should be included
Shipments for vessels abroad or FOR
foreign shore stations should reach the
Fleet Supply Base by November 10
Those for vessels in home waters
should reach the Fleet supply Base by
December 4.
