Governors Ideas
on Community Service

Chester people have been sent a
letter by Governor Sproul, giving his
ideas on community work. The
North American says of it: Gov
nor William c. Sproul is one of the
strongest supporters of community
service in Chester and vicinity, and
1t was a personal letter from him
which was responsible for q large
meeting at which it was decided to
raise the $4,000.
"In his letter, Governor Sproul
said: Community service has demon
strated that it is a timely.
vital, practical, successful and very
urgently-needed movement for the
better Americanization of both
native and foreign-born, for improv-
ing the conditions of life, labor and
leisure, for uniting all kinds of peo-
pie in bipartisan public service and
for applying to the present problems
and opportunities of pea4e that
patriotic united spirit of practical
American idealism which won the
war"

All Taxicabs to
Have Taximeters

Harrisburg people win be inter-
ested to learn of the plans of the
Public Service Commission to re-
quire all taxicabs to be metered
and to post tariffs where everyone
can see them. There is one line in
Harrisburg which does not have
taximeters and informal complaint
has been made to the Commission
that patrons are net informed when
entering cabs what the charge will
be to go to any place.
In regard to the State policy on
taxicabs the Philadelphia Inquirer
says:
I'm order to stop profiteering on
the part of taxicab operators whose
machines are not equipped with tax

Strangely Enough, the
Atlantic Ocean
in our thoughts,
is not half as wide as it used to be

The balloons travelling over it, and the
airplanes, and the visions of inventors and
engineers and the Columbuses who are explor-
ing the air, altogether have created the belief
that the whole world has come to be neighbors.
The making of a voyage across the seas
forty years or more ago had in it the facing of
perils and uncertainty that led people, before
entering upon voyage, to settle up their
affairs, rewrite their wills and take leave of
families with considerable uncertainty as to
what time and travel might produce.
Within the past week some daring air
explorer was free enough to say that we could
start early from Newfoundland, cross the
ocean, have dinner on the other side of the sea,
and return home before daylight of the next
morning.
To have the feeling of nearness to the old
homelands is not nearly important as to have new

Jofre and Secretary Viviani of France; Sir Arthur
BalfOur and Lord Reading, of England; Baron
Moncheur and General Leclerq of Belgium; ENJOYS
Enrico Arlotta, Guglielmo Marconi and others, of
Italy, have formed links of friendship and
affection with our brothers and sisters abroad.
The kindly things that have been said by JOffre
spoken by Clemenceau and President Poincare have
drawn all of close together that we feel we
shaking hands with them and applauding them every
day.
