WHO ARE PLEASANTVILLEs
CHAMPION CREAM EATERS7

That ~Pleasantyille can boast an ice
cream glutton or gluttons was demon
strated the first of the week by an in
cident which caused CONSERVATION to
some of those most vitality interested.
The facts in the case are: In prep
aration for the teachers reception
which the School Board had planned
for Monday night last, an order was
given Saturday morning to the Sup
plee Co., of Atlantic City, for seven
teen quarts of brick cream to be de-
livered Monday afternoon at the High
School. In ONE unexplainable man.
ner the order was filled Saturday af-
ternoon and the cream delive- ed to
the High School. The driver found
the building locked and deposited the
tub of cream upon the side steps of
the building. That the feast occurred
Sunday night is known, as a teacher
in passing saw the tub unmolested on
the step Sunday afternoon, but sup
posing it to be empty and placed there
for the driver, said nothing about it.
Nothing was known of this by the
school authorities until the janitor ar
rived at the school Monday morning,
when he found the vicinity of the ice
cream tub Uttered with cream wrap
pers and not a particle of cream re-
naming. He notified the interested
parties here and an investigation be-
gan. The truant officer was instructed
to keep close tabs on the collie records
of the local physicians, but the mys-
terry remains unsolved.
The Supplee Company duplicated
the order on Monday.

ITALIAN CLUB FREE OF DEBT.

Prominent Italians from every sec
ton of the County, as well as several
other leading citizens of this City and
County, were present at the ~celebra-
ton staged by the Italian Independent
Club of Pleasantville in honor of the
burning of the mortgage and the WHIP
ing out of the last vestige of debt
against the Clubs building on North
Third street.
The affair opened in the afternoon
with the raising of the American and
Italian flags on the staff over the
building and the singing of the Carl
baldi hymn and the Star Spangled
Banner to the accompaniment of an
Atlantic City orchestra, which also
furnished music in the evening. The
occasion was, in fact, the signal for
an outburst of patriotic enthusiasm,
the members of this club having sent
more than a score of young men to
help Uncle Sam in the recent world
conf1agration, and they are justly
proud of this record. There was an
intermingling of Italian and American
speech makers, all of whom confined
their remarks to congratulations to
this thriving organization, intermin-
gled with fiery eloquence as they drift
ed to the patriotic strain that seemed
to be in the atmosphere. -
The Pleasantville Press congraLu-
Ilates our Italian citizens for their zeal
and enterprise in providing such a
magnificent headquarters for their
Club members. 1t congratulates them
upon their patriotic spirit, and above
all, upon their praiseworthy ~endeavors
to educate the young Italians in the
ways of true Americanism. Much
credit for the success of the ~organiza-
ton is due the jealous work of such
leaders as Nicholas Orlando, Joseph
Boney, Joseph Falivene, Dominic Col
lacco, Peter Cerruti, and several 9th
ers.
Our best wishes are extended the
Italians for a successful and prosper
Gus future for their organization and
its individual members.
