TO Believe Practice is Pub
lie Nuisance.

II is understood that at the next
meeting Of the Street and Sewer De-
partment, the. question of restrict
ing the automobile parking privilege
around Rodney Square will be con-
sidered.
When consulted, Commissioner Grier
expressed himself as in favor of al
lowing the automobiles on King and
Eleventh streets, but forbidding them
on Tenth and Market streets. Other
commissioners, it is understood, If
any move at all is made believe ii
should be to keep the machines away
from all four sides Of the square.
The ground of the objection is that
the parking of the machines interferes
with the effect of the park space.

- The big stores and warehouses of
the Barnes 4 Halliday company Of the
little city Of Dunn. y. G., were closed
for some hours last Friday in respect to
John Williams. and several hundrfG
white people attended the nC::rn'S flu
neral. Williams WAS not what is known
as II "pyomnent citizen but only Il
laborcr employed by the month. How
ever he WAS held in high esteem
throughout the city because Of the
character ard reputh ton he had built
up during IL residence of twenty-five
wears in the city Of Dunn. He is said To
have been of giant strength; but nc"cr
made any exhibition Of that strength
except as occasion required in his Ia
boz. and from time to time in friendly
competition with other champions for
the pleasure and interest of his friends.
He was never Known to have been en-
gagged in a quarrel with either whites
or black He was quick 10 do a kind
ness for anybody when he could, and
his reputation for truthfulncSS was so
well established that no one who knrw
him or of him would think of doubling
his word. 1t is commonly conceded
around tho city OF Dunn that in spite of
the fact that he WAS hlack--he was a
pure blO"ded neGro--he lacked few If
any of the qualities which the best
authorities agree arc necessary in the
makeup of real gentleman.

MAYOR SPEAKS ON
CHARITY WORK
CHAklTY'' SUBJECT
OF TALK BY MAYOR BERG
Helm AT GUILD MEETING

An Interesting program was given at
the quarterly meeting of the Woman s
Guild Tuesday afternoon at the X. c..
hall, for which about seventy-fve peo-
pie turned out. David Goldstein, lee
turer, and Mayor Bergheim gave talks;
Miss Aurora Gendron sang two very
pleasing numbers and Walter Kelley
played several selections on the violin
which were much enjoyed. After the
meeting, lunch was served by the
ladies.
MI. Goldstein spoke but briefly. He
was introduced by A. F. Koslosky.
The speaker told of what the Catholic
church is doing along civic and charit-
a. lie lines, also the relation Of the W..
en- tc the church.
Mr.. Bergheim spoke on "Organized
Charity" He said that every able
bodied or able minded man has not on
~ his own share of the work Of the
world to do, but the share of some one
of the weak and incompetent and he
should accept this state OF affairs cheer
fully and with philosophy. The time
will come, he said, when this work wilt
be more evenly divided but that is a
long way into the future and now the
problem that confronts US is TO keep
alive and measurably happy Ill persons
who are born into the world. 1t is got
really charity for the strong to take
care of the weak, but matter Of co1i-
mon necessity and those who have the
b1ains to earn the money or strength
to do the work, must throw back the
life line to others less fortunate after
their own Immediate needs have been
taken care of.
Mr.. Bergheim classed as dependents
children up to IL years and adults hav-
ing attained the age>of 60 years. These
must be taken care of and if the fami-
lies cannot do so it is the duty Of the
community to see that they are comfort.
able. Conditions must be investigated
and the necessary machinery organize
for this purpose to properly
handle the work and provide the means.
The state furnishes institutions for the
treatment of nearly all detectives but
the community must find them and
place them where they will get the right
no value to a community unless they
are made use Of. Only organized and
active charities can handle these cases
Underestimate and unorganized char
ity is practically wasted and often
does more harm than good, he said.
He cited cases Of actual relief rendered
in Little Falls in 1920 through SETTLE
ment work, and likewise of investiga-
tions made by the county child welfare
board.
