that would have been a credit to our
efforts.
Our High School boys played one
of the most successful seasons at foot
ball in the history of the school. A
victorious baseball season has been
completed by a uniformed team. The
manager reports it has finished the
season free from debt.
In a community composed of many
races, creeds and different kinds OF
people as ours it is impossible to
please everybody. l am pleased to
report that some parents have learned
that the secret of success lies within
the child himself. Some who have sent
children away to private schools at
considerable expense have returned
them to our schools. They have learn
ed that by cooperation and work the
children can obtain here an education
as good as at any private school. 1t
all depends upon the effort of the
child.
The High School Auditorium has
been used during the past year as the
regular meeting place for the Ladies'
Club and the Chamber of Commerce.
Several other public meetings have
also been held there.
Every teacher has enrolled and paid
dues in the New Jersey State Teach
ers' Association.

Township Imposes Jitney Licenses

Jitneys are getting Sc thick IN and
around Carneys Point that the Town
ship Commute of Upper Penns Neck
has passed an ordinance to compel all
of the jitney drivers to take out local
licenses if they operate anywhere in
the township. A hearing on the ordi-
nance which appears in full elsewhere
has been set for June 25th.
The ordinance provides for an an
nual license fee of S25 for each jitney
operated. If the new measure is
strictly enforced it is believed that
many of the jitney men will be
squeezed out as they are already COM
PEELED to pay license fees in Penns

commencement of the shoot, announc-
ed thaa$he Club was not out to make
money But to give all its guests a good
time. And they did this.
The tournament itself might be call
ed a .tPlatt shoot" because Clarence
Platt, Of BridgetCn, the present state
champion by virtue Of his great work
at Plaihfeld in the state shoot last
month, and the state champion also in
1917, took away all the honors that
we're to be had. In the registered
tournament program of 10 single tar
gets, he broke l4S. But he was tied
by O. w. Armstrong, Of Pitman, and
by Fred "Splinters' Tomlin, of Glass
boro, for first place, which necessitat-
ed a shoot off. A decision vas not ar
rived at until Nj. Plat and Mr.. Arm
strong had shot at so targets. Tomlin
missed his first bird in the first shoot
off and never had another look in, as
he other two broke 20 straight. The
second shoot-otf both Plat and Arm
strong broke another 20. Then in the
third tie Plat. missed his eleventh tar
get, but Armstrong "after-you-Al-

breaking 10 out of that 20. The
