One Bridge Will be Freed.

The Point Pleasant Delaware
Bridge will be free of tolls with
in a few days according to in
formation given out by the di-
rectors. They have decided to
accept the Bridge Commission
offer of 100000, which is not a
large sum, but based upon the
earnings of the company. AS
most of the travel is to and
from the Byram station, no
good roads reaching it on this
side of the Delaware, it's earning
capacity has been low.
The original structure. a COW
cred wooden bridge, was de-
stroyed by fire quarter of a
century ago, and the steel struc-
ture erected in it's place was
partially destroyed by the big
flood of October, 1908.

When You Were a Boy

Did you belong to tribe of
Red Skins meeting in a secret
hut in the woods? Or was it a
gang of pirates, or other disper-
ate Observation-Disclosures men,
ace you may have been to the
peace of your town, place to
meet and conspire was the first
necessity, wasn't it?
Boys to-day are just the same.
So the Boy Scouts of America
were organized, not only to
make good desperadoes of our
ingeniate lads, but also to
teach them many interesting
facts about nature. To direct
them in spending their surpluss
ENERGY in a healthful manner.
Boy Scouts have helped in
War Stamp, Red Cross and
Liberty Loan Drives.
Scouts are never lost in the
woods. They are taught to save
drowning persons.
Scouts are never asked their
religious belief, but their stand
ing is advanced when they are
faithful to their home church.
Scout meetings are held only
in the presence of the Scout
Master, who is expected to CO.
operate with the boys parents,
in all Troop activities.
Scouts are supposed to do a
good turn daily, without pay. To
give first aid in case of accident.
Above all to obey the Scout Law.
The Troop of Scouts in New
Hope has 16 of the finest lads
you could find. About half of
them work all day and several
evenings of the week. They are
manly, self reliant and honor
able. The Troop name is Coryell
and it rhymes with yell which
the boys do, with enthusiasm.
But it is writer and the Troop
have no home in which to spend
the hours that otherwise are
full of temptations. Thus far,
I'VE have met in the Library and
Mr.. Stintsman has allowed us
to meet in his hall, without pay.
Think how dull New Hope is
this winter, Rockers hall closed,
no Community chorus, no
movies, nothing but street cor
ners or crossing over to wicked
Jersey.
In many towns and cities the
Boy Scouts are supported out OF
the War Chest New Hope
might do likewise with good re-
suits. If we could start with
$125.00.a year, the Troop would
grow and finally assume most of
it's own expenses.
If you wish any further in
formation. ask any Scout or call
on your faithfully,
G. w. Haushalter,
Scout Master.

'sMY BEST FRIEND''

~ ~ i
By Corporal William Workman, Somewhere in France,
,r TO- 1918.
When Joined the army they gave gun,
They said he my best friend;
And tell you fellers, it's true, by gum!
Though couldn't see it then.
thought in those days it mighty
To be forced to tote him about
To polish and oil him and keep him clean,
In disgust used to shout
But that was before had crossed the blue sea,
Or waded along through trench;
But now that his worth has been shown to me,
To keep him clean is "cinch
For here some things that my best friend do,
Though never knew it before,
He can bark so loud that the air turns blue
Then rumble and grumbe and
He can rear and jump and pull any old stunt,
That his master would wish him to
Though he kicks lot, yet never grunt
For know his aim is true.
He make the Hun duck his frowzy head,
He make them turn and fiee
And tis' he who paints the battlefield red
He's vicious vicious be.
But he's docile enough if you treat him right,
He obeys every gentle touch,
He refuses to work if he isn't kept bright,
And cannot blame him much,
He'll lie on my shoulder from morn till night
Or from it recne at ease,
He'll hang from nai stand upright
In any old way you please.
He'll protect my property and my life,
When he's with me have no fear,
can go unafrad into the strife,
For his voice l like to hear,
He can peep DER the parapet, through the grass,
And spit fire over nO-man'S land,
He alarms the soldiers in of gas,
For he hates the Allemand
It's his delight just to bark and bite,
And to make the Allamand sing,
He'll show them that might is not always right,
He do almost anything
Oh! there's many and many widow, sad,
Has been made by his vengeful tone,
Many lassie and many ad
Who have lost their Home Sweet Home,
And many despot has he dethroned,
Yes, twas he that freed the slave,
A true friend to those by whom he is owned
But terror to every knave.
For he kills and he wounds and he causes pain,
And terror without any bounds
The fathers and brothers and sweethearts slain,
Lined up in their grassy mounds
Must silently, surely and gruesomely prove
All the claims l have made for my friend,
For it's his to retard, it's his to
Infinite forces of men.
OIL There's thousands of things my best friend can do
~--9 and he does che most willingly
Every inch of him loves the Red White and Blue
And he'll float it over Germany.
The pen may be mighter than the sword
i That's maxim though old still true,
And vet though the pen may trace the glad word
Who was it that forced him to?
You can just bet your life it was my old gun,
NV best friend will soon have his way,
And he'll yet make treaty signed by the Hun,
In terms o. the u. 5. A
