One OF the most dangerous places on
the road to Tuckerton is at Jobs creek.
There have been several accidents at
this place, autos running off the side
of the road into ditch. The ratings
along the bridge have been torn away,
and as there is sharp curve at the
place drivers do not see the danger un-
til they come right on it. Something
should be done to make this place safe

tablishing the accommodations of
permanent community for families
living at Camp Dix, announcement

to their employees. The Large room,
which is so 200 feet in size, without
posts, presented beautiful appear
ance, decorated with flags, bunting
and evergreens, and lighted with
hundreds of red, white and blue cleo

This law has been disregarded in sew

think it does not mean anything ant
in some instances the heads of tn
schools, while knowing what was go
ing on have winked at the violation
There is said to be case of possibl
arrest on this ground in Burlington
and there is another case in Noun
