CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
CREETS REHAB BOYS
New Century Club
Host to Rehabs
Monday Night Will Go Down
in Annals of jolly
Good Timas

There was never comrade in the
army and navy who did not know
when he had a good time and if you
want to know if the New Century
Club showed the Rehab boys a good
time on Monday night ask any of
them and they will every one answer
in the affirmative. Ask if the men,
bers of the New Century Club are
good fellows and again that affirma-
tive answer will be Forthcoming. If
every one in Newark could have been
to the affair on Monday night they
would have seen why the former fight
ing boys, who are now getting them
selves in shape to go out and take
their places in the world, are so
strong for the New Century Club.
Although the party on Thursday
night took lot of "pep" from the
Rehabs they were all fresh and bright
for this weeks affair and in keeping
with the time of the year Queen
Goodwill held the sceptre.
The ladies of the New Century
Club worked their hardest to make
Mondays party a success and their
efforts were we'll rewarded and every
Rehab extended a vote of thanks to
the hostesses Of the evening.
Probably the thing that struck the
boys best in this event was the home
made cakes that were served. Most
of the boys that are located in the
Rehabilitation School are many miles
from their homes and getting home

warming

For the past seven days the Rehabs
have been having the time of their lives
and the Christmas season has brought
happiness to these lads that they will
not soon forget. Everyone in Newark
has an interest in these boys and they
have proven in the past few days that
they are in for making the boys of the
school realize this fact. This was proven
at the house warming held last Thurs
day night and at the entertainment
given the Rehabs on Monday night by
the New Century Club.
There is not one member of the Re-
habilitation students that is going to
forget that house warming and dedica-

CHRISTMAS SEALS
STILL ON SALE
Local Workers In the Fight
Against tuberculosis Still
on the Jump

Many local persons have received
mail during the past few days with
Christmas Seal Stamp on it. Every
piece of mail that Uncle Sam is now
handling should have one of these
seals on it, for every one of them is
one cents worth of the fight that is
being waged against tuberculosis.
Newark people have three more days
in which they can buy these stamps
and use them and as they are sold at
one cent a piece there is no financial
reason why everyone should not buy
them and buy them again. Miss Jane
Maxwell is in charge of the local sale
of stamps and reports though a
great number of the stamps have
been disposed of the figures this year
are not as large as in previous ones.
Every stamp that is sold in Della
ware is a help against the dreaded
disease right in the State as none of
the receipts are sent to other points.
1t is at Christmas time that everyone
should be willing to do his best to
help his fellow man who is not quite
as fortunate and by buying these
stamps you are helping some poor
soul in fight against death.
The stamps are being sold in many
of the stores of the town and there
is no reason that every parcel post
marked Newark should not also bear
Christmas seal.

SMOKING SMOKERS
SMOKE AWAY
Tobacco Thieves Make Latest
Haul at kilmon and
Griffin Restaurant

Smoke out the smoke thieves, every
merchant in Newark who handles
smokes, not of the sausage variety,
thinks this is about the only way to
clear away the smoke and discover the
smoke thieves who even fail to leave a
trail of smoke behind them so the au-
thorities will have a clue to work on.
The latest host to these smokers is the
restaurant of Kilmon and Griffin, on Fix
ton avenue.
Sometime, either late Monday night
or early Tuesday morning, thieves broke
into the restaurant and stole about S45
worth of cigarettes and cigars and So in
cash, that was in the cash register.
Mr.. Kilmon on his arrival at his place
of business on Tuesday morning, found
that the window that leads into the
kitchen, had been "jimmied," and on in
vestigation found that his tobacco de-
partment had been pretty we'll cleaned
out.
just about a week previous the Buck
ingham store was entered and large
quantity of smokes taken. These two
places, together with the two local pool
parlors, have been keeping the thieves
in smokes for sometime past. The two
tarlors were entered sometime ago. The
thieves who seem only to be after
smokes and money are thought to be
persons familiar with the town ant
know just when is the best time to make
their hauls.
After the recent robbery many mer
chants along Main street suggested
banding together and hiring an officer t.
patrol the town all night. At the pres
ent the town officer goes off duty at |:
o'clock, leaving the stores without po
lice protection for several hours, tn
hours are the best for the thieves TO
they are the wee hours of the morning
when everyone has left the streets.

"Peace on Earth,
Good Will
Toward Men !"
With the Proposed Laying
Down Of Arms, 1925
Christmas Brings
Happiness
Everyone Joins in Carols Of Peace

Everyone Joins in Carols Of Peace
"Peace On Earth, Good Will To-
ward Men,"
Christmas, 1921, dawns upon us,
clearer, steadier and brighter than
any since 1918. The latter holiday
came upon us brightly inasmuch as it
saw the first peaceful Christmas dur
ing the four years duration of the
World War. Then Freedom waved
her wand over US and the spirit of
despotism was trampled in the blood
covered fields of Europe. It then
seemed that peace had joined hands
with humanity, and that human de-
struction had come to an end, as the
greatest and dearest Christmas gift
the universe had ever received.
The burdens of taxation, unemploy-
ment and debt took the brightness off
the peace Christmas, and the bright
est season Of the year in 1919 and
1920 seem running back to the rut
Of those in which the war Christmas
f1oundered.
Now at our threshold comes the
Christmas of 1921 with promise of
peace, the universal and lasting kind,
this peace can never be guaranteed
but the consummation of this ideal
seems nearer at hand than ever be-
fore. And although the country is
gripped by a general depression, one
cannot help but feel happy and
joyful when one looks back upon
those years when our boys were fall
ing by the scores in Flander Fields.
The financial status of the public is
much lower than then but when one
stops, and thinks Of the terrible loss
of life that brought about those days
of high wages and extravagant gifts,
they surely would rather make liv-
! ing sacrifice than see one soul cast be-
fore the altar of War.
Newark is part of that country
which has taken the lead that promises
to bring US to the days when arms
will not be tolerated and why should
we of this community not make this
the most radiant and Christian
Christmas Of all years.

Lower Grades Also Have Programs

Every year the entertainment OF the
Newark High School at Christmas time
is one of the banner events of the year
and the people of the town look forward
to it like the little boy does to the COM

going to be disappointed this year, for
the program that is to be presented by
the students is one of the cleverest ever
arranged.
The entertainment will have to be
held in the Opera House this year, mas
much as the assembly room of the school

baseball and from that standpoint
may have a little edge on Ward,
whereas our second baseman Is rs
per cent stronger at the bart.
At shortstop the opposing captains
face each other. I know the steady

Yankees. He is valuable to the club
in a way that does not show in any
average Bancroft and Peck have
been through many hard seasons and
both clubs are well fortified in the
shortfield.
At third base McGraw has one Of
the most sensational young players
in present day baseball. Frank
Frisch came from Fordham to the
Giants and has never slowed up since
his debut. He is the greatest base
stealer in the big league baseball: he
is the hardest-hitting third baseman
In the present series and his fielding
is like so much lightning.
He Has Competition.
But admitting all this, he has
dangerous competition in Mike Nc
Nally, and Home-Run Baker. When
Baker was laid up McNally was showed
in and set such a pace he has never
been relieved. He is a whirlwind
fielder and one of those weak hitters
who ften come through in a climax.
Even if Home-Run Baker does not
play in the regular lineup, his world

Little Betting Seen
AS Teams Prepare
For Title Tilt

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Betting
on the world series probable win
ner is light, according to reports
from Wall Street. pool rooms
and other batter ycenters.
In some places the Giants are
to favorites. In others odds
favor the Yankees. Even money
on the series, however, prevails
generally.
One fan bet $500 at even
money that Babe Ruth will slam
out five home runs in the series.
Another bet that Babe wuldn't
hook a homer.
One sportsman bet $40 to
1000 the Yanks would win four
straight.
A Giant rooter put up $50
against $500 that Arthur Nehf,
Giant hurler, wins his first game.
Another bet George Kelley,
Giant slugger, would out-hit
Babe Ruth.
