MAN HONORED
REV. A. w. SOME NAMED
COUNTY CHAIRMAN

PENNINGTON = Rev. A. W.
Some, of Pennington. has been ap-
pointed Hunterdon County chairman
of the Sunday School division of the
Near East Relief by Joseph H.
Wright, State chairman. During the
fiscal year ending July LIST the Sun
day Schools in New Jersey econ
tributed S46,215.73 toward feeding
the 250,000 orphans in Armenia,
Syria and the surrounding countries.
The States entire collections
amounted to $44O, 522.54. This was
enough to feed eight hundred
orphans who have been saved by the
American organization.
Mr.. Some says that these orphans
have been kept from starvation, but
as they are not able to support
themselves an effort will be made by
the Sunday Schools of the County to
provide for them for another year.
The Armenians are still at war-this
time with the bolsheviki which are
sweeping down from Russia. They
are scarcely able to provide for their
own families-these that have been
rescued from the Turkish harems-
and unless help is continued from
America the thousands of orphans
will be no better than if they had
persisted.
Certificates are now being dis
tributed to the Sunday Schools in the
County which last year adopted an
Armenian orphan.

Merchants Attack
Gas Situation

LAMBERTVILLE- or the fire.
quent lack of it, was the main topic
OF discussion at Monday nights meet
ing of the Merchants Association.
when the members appeared to be of
one accord in their opposition to the
methods pursued by the New JERSEY
Northern Gas Company.
The association has special COM
mltted ito act on the gas question, ap-
pointed by President Bailey last month,
and they planned to appear before the
City Commissioners at this week IS
meeting and urge that immediate
action be taken against the company
The movement to have the company
adJudged bankrupt met with most
favor, it being the opinion of the mer-
chants that if the gas company was
forced into a receivership it would
either be compelled to put the plant
and service into good condition or sell
to somebody who would. Rights of
stockholders and bondholders received
scant consideration, as it was believ-
ed that they are principally Camden
financiers who hoped to receive larger
returns for their moneys in Hunter
don County than they could receive
in their own County of Camden.
Although the gas has now been on
again for nearly two weeks, after an
eight days vacation" it appears to
have been off several times at night,
as Gordon Cooper, publisher of the
Lambertville Record, testified that it
had been out on his linotype melting
pot twice when left on over night,
creating serious menace when it
came on again while people were
sleeping.
Theodore G. Kitchin stated that he
had writterN the City Commissioners
asking that immediate action be taken
against the gas company to compel
them to furnish proper service, and
that City Solicitor Horace G. Prall
had advised the city that it would be
very unwise to start any action
against the company, because it would
cost the city more than it could
afford.
The merchants regarded the receiv-
ership proceedings as best, because
the city might then be able to collect
the unpaid taxes owing by the New
Jersey Northern Gas Company, and
if it was necessary to take the plant
and mains under the franchise condi-
tions the delinquent taxes would offset
a considerable part of the purchase
price.
The Merchants Association treas
urer reported a balance of $119.S2,
which with the present months col
lections, less bills payable, would
leave net balance of $135.32 on
hand to start December with.

DRIVE FOR
GOOD HEALTH
DECEMBER BIRD AND 5TH

HARRISBURG, Pain connec-
ton with the 1920 Christmas Seal
tuberculosis Day will be observed in
Pennsylvania. The dates selected
are Friday, December 3rdy in the
schools and Sunday, December 9TH,
in the churches.
In the schools, principals, teachers,
physicians and laymen will speak on
the nature and treatment of tubercu-
losis and how to prevent the disease.
Health plays will also be given.
Many pastors on December 9th will
devote all or part of sermon to the
question of health and particularly
tuberculosis. In many Sunday Schools
some time will likewise be devoted to
presenting the subject. In many
churches and Sunday Schools laymen
and physicians will also talk.
Clifford Pinchot, chairman of the
State Committee in charge of the
Christmas Seal and Health Bond sale,
said:
81 should like to see Pennsylvania
schools and churches use these days
for emphasizing the fact that the
White Plague is still serious menace.
The steady drop in the death rate
from tuberculosis IN pennsylvania
from 1909 per 100000 population in
1906 to lit in 1919 appears to bear
direct relation to the progress made
in bringing to the public the fact that
tuberculosis is a preventable disease.
Ehe messages on the Seal this year
Merry Christmas and Healthy
New Year'-call for plenty of time
in the fresh air and sunshine of the
outdoors, the eating of wholesome
food and the taking Of plenty of rest.
These are the simple but effective
remedies against tuberculosis. 1t will
mean much for the public health if
these simple lessons are brought more
forcibly to the attention of everybody
on these two days"
tuberculosis Day will be observed
in nearly all States of the Union on
these days-Decembe 3rd and 9Th.

NEW JERSEY HAS 10000, 900
CHRISTMAS SEALS TO DIS
POSE OF IN THE PRESENT
S300, 008 CAMPAIGN

Starting this week, the holiday sea-
son, extending from Thanksgiving
Day until New Years, will be ushered
in by hundreds of little Christmas
seals on sale in all parts of the State
and destined to bring good cheer to
many homes. New Jersey has 3d.
100000 seals to dispose of this year
(this means ten seals at one cent each
for every man, woman and child in
this State) in order that 100000 may
be raised enabling the New Jersey
tuberculosis League and its thirty
five branch organizations located
throughout the State to successfully
carry on a big health program
planned for the coming year. Many
business houses would not think of
permitting a letter or package to
leave the office without the Christmas
seal. Hundreds of persons would hest
tate giving Christmas present with
out first seeing that the paper con-
tanning the gift was sealed with the
stamp of good health. Somehow the
holiday season seems incomplete with
out it.
Since the Christmas seal plays such
an important part in nearly every
ones life at Christmas-tide, a great
many persons might be interested in
knowing of this little seal. The Christ
mas seal dates back, in origin, to the
Charity Stamp" used during the
Civil War to raise funds for soldiers
relief. Then in 1904, when Denmark
first used Christmas seals for the pur-
pose of building hospital, Jacob
Riis, well-known SET slealent w9Nissr in
New York, decided to iopt It isr this
country by enlis.lng Santa Claus as
our champion to circulate Christmas
stamps for the purpose of educating
and arousing tie people to fight
against the White Plague. Mr.. Riis
conceived the idea that everyone VINO
saw the stamp would wish to know
what it meant, and then half the bat
tie would be won. 1t is because peo-
pie do not know few simple things
that so many people die each year
from tuberculosis.
Following the success with which
this plan met, MISS Emily Bissell
and other influential members of the
Delaware branch CT the Red Cross
Society, started the movement of
Christmas seals, which today covers
almost the entire country. A stamp
was designed gratis and printed at
cost. A large advertising firm pre-
pared an advertising campaign as a
free gift, and for two weeks an ex-
tensive campaign was waged. Last
year 400,000009 seals were sold in
the United States, and this year 900,-
100000 are on sale.
And today this little unique stamp,
with its interesting history, is on sale
and the revenue derived from it makes
it possible for tuberculosis workers
to provide more health nurses to look
after cases in congested districts;
open more nutrition classes to look
after the health Of the malnourished
child; provide open-air schools, and
send anaemic children away for a
two weeks vacation; opan more clinics
throughout the State and improve
hospital facilities, and in every way
promote public health in such man
ner as to materially lessen the death
rate from tuberculosis in this State.
