business concerns have a cost ac-

CHILDREN SUCCEED IN
SELLING CARDS FOR RED CROSS

Much interest has been shown dur
ing the past week by the children of
the public schools in the sale of post
cards of the torpedoed steamship 1.-THE
Carolina, for the benefit of the Red
Cross.
1t will be remembered the Carolina
was sunk by a German submarine on
June 2, rs miles off our coast, and 90
of the survivors landed on the beach
at South Carolina avenue in Life Boat
No. 5, on Tuesday noon, after rowing
steadily for the two days and nights.
Their privations and suffering dur
ing this time were great, as their pro-
visions consisted of some tins of hard
tack and a cask or breaker of wat
er. This water was dealt. oat a tea
spoonful at a time. One frail woman
or the boat lost her mind during the
time of suffering and is still in a san
itarium mentally unbalanced. This
Life Boat No. 5 was presented by the
owners, the New York and Porto Rico
S. S. Co., to the Atlantic County His
toricaI Society, who have loaned it to
the Red Cross for the duration of the
wal to assist in raising funds. 1t is
now on exhibition on the Steel Pier
and contains a box for contributions
for the Red Cross. The public have
responded literally to this silent, SER
ious appeal.
All large passenger ships carry pic
ture post cards of the ship for the
use of it's patrons. The Carolina will
never again carry passengers so the
New York & Porto Rico S. S. Co. pre-
scented a large number of cards to the
Historical Society, who are selling
them for the Red Cross through the
medium of the school children.
Personalities school children have
never failed to respond nobly to all
war activities, and have enthusiast
cally undertaken to dispose of these
cards. Don't turn them away if they
come to you and ask you to purchase
two for five cents. School No. 2 heads
the list so far, having already disposed
of five hundred.

COLORED EMERGENCY AID
GIVES ENTERTAINMENT

The Colored Women's Emergency
Aid Society gave an entertainment at
Samaritan Hall last Thursday evening
to raise funds to assist in their work
of helping the boys called to the SER
vice of Uncle Sam. Prof. T. R. Parker
was master of ceremonies. A eompeti-
tive drill was given by two teams of
girls, the team receiving the greatest
applause being awarded an American
flag by Mrs. Scott, president of the
Philadelphia Emergency Aid. Mrs.
Rosita Monk, president of the local
Aid, told of its recent formation, that
60 members had already been enrolled,
more money had been received for the
work than they had set as their goal,
and gave a general idea of their plans
for helping to win the world war. The
editor of The P~leasantville Press was
called upon for a few remarks, and he
congratulated the organization upon
the progress thus far made and gave
them encouragement for their future
work. The band rendered music,
dancing was INDUCED in, refreshments
were offered for sale, and altogether
it was an enjoyable affair which net
ted a snug sum for the treasury of the
Emereency Aid.

Sept. 9th, 1918.
Mr.. Albert E. James,
Pres. of Council,
Pleasantville, N. J.
My dear Mr.. James,
In reply to your favor of recent date
it now appears most fortunate that the
construction of the sewer system was
temporarily postponed last fall. While
at the time the first bids were opened
there was seemingly no reaso why
the work should not go ahead, the sit
uation had changed completely by the
date of the second opening. During
the short time that had elapsed it had
become clearly apparent that eventu-
ally it would be quite impossible to OBJ
tain either sufficient material or men
to prosecute the work.
In the light of events which have
since transpired it can now be clearly
seen that the decision then made was
a most fortunate one. Should the
work have been started it could not
have been long continued. The ex-
tremely high scale of wages which has
been in force at the new munition
plants in your district would have ulti-
mately drawn all labor from this work.
1t would also have been impossible to
obtain the necessary material in the
amounts required. Terra Gotta pipe is
now almost impossible TO get in any
quantity. The government has issued
priority orders covering this material
for use in essential industries with the
result that practically the entire out
put has been absorbed.
With kindest regards, l remain,
Very truly yours,
w. DEWITT VOSBURY.
