Registrars in the class of 1918 will
undergo more rigid physical examin-

to rules of the regular army. Former
ly the draft boards were not bound to
these rules, and recently great many
men have been rejected at Camp Dix.
While formerly men only five feet in
height were accepted, those under five
feet three inches will be rejected, &C.
cording to the new regulations. A
man five feet three inches in height

The great need of st. Paul Methodist |
Episcopal Church in Mount Holly is a
ouse for its pastor. They have on
Vest Washington street, very near the |
hurch, a nice lot on which a parson-
ge can be built, and such is absolutely |
since just now the present |
astor is only temporarily located at
80 West Washington street. He has /
large vision for the church and COM
he feels somehow that the |
hurch can render much larger service
0 the community than tbs now giving.
The church Is in need of repairs and a
lew heating plant, which will give the |
home in which they |
an serve the community by better ad-
Iressing themselves to the problems of |
he town-which is to study local con-
Iitions and seek as far as possible to |
meet them. They have launched a |
rand liberty rally for next Sunday, |
When they hope to raise at least $500. |
Sven to do this they must enlist the |
of the generous public,
md this fund will only enable them to
,egin the erection of the parsonage.
IN Friday night, Professor Stetson
of Camp Dix, assisted by
| double quartette, will give concert
1t st. Paul's church in the interest of
he liberty rally.
