Commended For Faithful Service

John Clemente, one of Penns Groves
progressive merchants and loyal
American, altho born in Italy, served
several months at Camp Dix last
year until his health failed because of
close devotion to duty.
Recently he received a letter from
his Captain, James A. Carey, which is
highly commendable. In part Capt.
Carey writes:
1t was awfully good of you to come
up and see me. | shall not forget
your thoughtfulness. Neither shall |
forget you as a man and a soldier.
The memory Of your devotion to duty
and your splendid ability will always
DE with me.
There was a time in the organiza-
ton of Co. L that matters were criti-
cal and the success of the outcome
depended upon a few men. Your in
tegrity and self-sacrifice was worth
more to me than the aid Of a dozen
officers. | want you to know this,
Clemente, and believe that | shall al
ways be grateful to you.
| send my best wishes to your
brothers and cousin and my kindest re-
CARDS to you. Sincerely and faithfully,
your old Captain and constant friend,
James A. Carey.

The New DUPONT Feature

The Editor and Manager of the
Penns Grove Record has established
relations with the dupont Dye Works
officials to publish all dupont doings.
As the world is passing rapidly to
the new era of peace and powder max
ing for war purposes is to be a thing
OF the past, new industrial peace fea-
lures are to be put foremost in the
minds of the world as leading features
OF DUPONT manufactures. The DUPONT
Dye Works are to be the foremost
lame of the industry below Penns
Grove. Doings and news will be fea-
tured under that head hereafter, as
powder making is now a smaller fea-
ture in the industry.
The managers of employment have
begun a new feature of entertainment
and sports. While the former enter
tainment will be continued in the du-
Pont Club House, they contemplate
having a Y. NJ. c. A. organized soon
on a basis of self support. During
the war the Company made extra
Efforts and expense to maintain Y. NJ.
{. AS and Y. w. C. AS. While the
Company will give use of the building
formerly occupied by the Y. NJ. C. A.
at the rear of the Permanent Village,
1t is hoped the employed will now feel
settled at home on a peace basis and
show full appreciation by personal
efforts to maintain the Y. NJ. C. A. on
a permanent basis of nearer self sup
port.
The Company has prepared grounds
on the Summerill tract on Maple
Avenue and erected a grand stand
where sports and plays will be held.
The reports of these will be a leading
feature Of DUPONT News Service.
Those who wish to keep informed
will find the reports in the Penns
Grove Record each week. The Record
is served by carrier and thru the post
office. 1t can be bought at Sickler's
News Store, foot of Main Street,
Penns Grove, also Brandriffs News
Store, opposite Carney's Point Post
Office.
If you see it in the Penns Grove
Record. it is so.
