LIFE SAVERS CLUB GROWING
BODY; FINE SHOW GIVEN

TOTTENVILLE, Aug. A drive
is now under way for more members
to the Life Savers Club of Raritan
Bay Park. This club, composed for
the most part of United States Life
Savers, has had a very successful
career. From the beginning, in a
small building, hardly more than a
shed, the club has grown into a
large organization, until today it is
one of the most popular organiza-
lions at Raritan Bay Park.
A feature of the club is the fact
that it maintains one of the finest
bathing beaches along the shore,
| and this is free for the use of any
one. A beach of this kind has al
ways bee greatly needed in this
section. Not only is the beach one
of the finest to De found on the Is
land, but the club maintains a first
aid to the injured outfit and is al
ways in position to give first aid to
those who may have beer injured
while in bathing or playing on the
beach.
Harry A. Mosher, president OF the
club, is one to whom the credit of
the present club belongs. 1t was
mainly through the efforts of Mr..
Mosher that the Life Savers Club
| mas DeCOIllt the IdCtoI Ill tilC IN
munity it is today and by his con-
tinued efforts and the efforts of
others in the organization, it is like
ly that the club will become n of
the most popular organizations on
the Island.
A late addition TO the club in its
work along the Life Saving Line is
a Curtiss hydroairplane driven and
owned by James Halstead. The
work of the machine is to fly over
the waters of Raritan Bay searching
for bathers who are in danger OF
drowning. This is the first aircraft
TO be put into this use around New
York. The plane is equipped with
two life perae,vers and n life MY.
AS a part of the social work of the
club a musical and dramatic review
was the attraction on Saturday
night. So great was the success OF
tho affair that it was repeated be-
fore a large audience on Sunday
evening. The program consisted OF
eight acts which the audience found
very entertaining.
Those taking part in this AFFAIR
were: Miss Billie Clifford, Miss
Agnes Sfayne, Miss Lois Seller, Miss
Mary Warner, Miss Eugene Seller,
Mrs. William Oaks, Miss Edna En-
gel, Miss Lillian Hallowell, Miss
Babe Fisher, Miss Helen Hampton

TRENTON, Aug. 4.-There is an
unusually large increase this year

of 23.
The new election law provides
hat when the vote in a district
reaches 500 the district shall be
divided. except that in counties of
number of voters in a district may
be 700.
The number of registered voters
in the state last November was
1,15',0S6. or almost double that of
the presidential election of 1916, by
far the greater par of his increase
being caused by the enfranchisement
of the The female vote in
most of the counties caused the vote
in scores of districts TO jump above
the 600 mark and to comply with
the law such districts had 20 be
divided.
one effect of this increase in dis
tricts is greatly to augment the
quantity of election material issued
by the secretary of state to the
municipalities. The amount this
year. though it is an off year politi-
cally, will weight more than sixty
tons. One of the stems will be L.

tribution to the voters with the

TRENTON, Aug. 4-The supreme
court has handed down an opinion
ruling that Thomas A, Clay is en-
titled to the Office of health officer
of Paterson. The decision Gusts J..
j. Alexander Browne who has been
holding the office since Jan. /,
1921.
Health Officer Hagen resigned
Dec. IA, 1920, and the Health Board
appointed Clay TO the place for a
team of three years. The term of

nation and as the appointment of
Clay was legally made he is entitled
to serve for the term for which he
vas appointed.
