an able body of captains and members
of teams. A rousing mass-meeting was
held in the M. E. Church Wednesday
evening, addressed by Major Carney,
of Australia, and Judge Clarence Cole.
Miss Trauger, of Atlantic City, sang
several selections, and received the
hearty applause of the audience. Up

trict will go oyer the top if everybody
helps. Before the mass-meeting, the
public-school children paraded the
town, headed by Nicholas Daley with
his civil-war kettle-drum. The parade
was a worthy exhibition of patriotism
and reflects credit upon the teachers
and scholars. On Thursday, Rev. c..

Luncheon in Atlantic City and gave a
hearty boost for Absecon and this dis
trict.

Many of our townspeople will doubt
less remember Mr.. Bernard Feeney,
Road Inspector on the new Absecon-
Atlantic City Boulevard. Mr.. Feeney
has received notice from the War De-
partment to report on May 28th for
induction into the U. S. Government
Service. This makes the second In
spector to be drafted within several
months. Mr.. Feeney will be remem-
bered by his friends, his co-workers,
and the men on the job, for he had the
faculty of making and keeping friends.
His good nature and ready wit served
TO smooth over any differences of opin-
ion, and it was this power of getting
along with people that marked as sue
cessful the recent work on the Boule-
ward. Mr.. Feeney is a resident of
Moorestown, and was sent here by the
Highway Department in October, 1917.
AS yet a successor hasn't been named,
and Mr.. Feeney has left us smiling
and radiantly happy, and as he said,
glad to do his bit when his turn
came"
