H. S. BOYS in
TRAINING

LAMBERTVILLE = About twenty
boys from different grades are now
in training for athletic events to take
place at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, Lafayette, Princeton and Hun
terdon County meets during the
spring.
Professor !. L. Chesson is in charge
of the track squad, and is giving
them some rigorous training. On
Wednesday and Thursday about a
dozen of them took the run over the
York road to Mt. Airy. Some were
out for the first time and could net
finish the run. But II. johnson and
Capt. Lefeaver finished first. Frank
Carver, e. johnson and G. Hulsinger
followed. The fact that snow covered
the ground did not seem to deter the
bunch from venturing forth IN their
abs syiatet track uniforms, and it
made spectators SILVER to see them
breezing along: SO scansily clad.

A FEW OLD
YOUNG PEOPLE

LAMB RTVILLE-These are great
days for the colder set" of this city
and vicinity. Mrs. Elizabeth German,
OF SergeantsviIle, or widely known as
Auntle' German, is recovering nicely,
thank you, from a severe cold of two
weeks duration, which would have
probably been the finish of most
women half her age.
She's only along in the 90's, and
hasn't really been laid up by anything
In her life, although she came very
near it few years ago-around her
goth birthday-when she fell down
the cellar steps and fractured three
ribs. She refused to have a doctor,
though, because she felt certain he
would make her lie abed, and she was
too busy cutting kindlings, tending to
household duties and performing war
work to waste any time that way.
Mrs. Catharine Warman, another
90-year-oh of this village, does her
own homework and entertains visitors,
while Mrs. Sophia Besson, several
years past the 80 mark, is away visit
ing, and keeps thoroughly posted on
the affairs of the country through
regular perusal of the daily news
papers.
Levi Black, the famed old-young
man of this city, is but 81, and as
spry as spry can be. He still hustles
around the town, trimming trees and
doing other work that young men fear
to risk, and admits that if it wasn't
for his poor eyesight he could do lot
more things. His mind is as clear as
men half his age, and he is always
ready to converse Interestingly on
most any subject

New Hope Tightens
Traffic Rules

NEW HOPE - Borough officials
have instructed Constable E. F.
Davis to enforce more severely traffic
regulations in the town. There are
more accidents in proportion to the
number of cars in small towns than
in large towns This is because driv-
ers are more careful where policemen
are plentiful.
One traffic rule commonly violated
is that of Right of way At all
crossings the driver passing on the
other drivers right has the Right
of way" There is fragrant disre-
gard Of this rule partly because some
do not know it and partly because Of
carelessness.
Another menace, during these times
of prohibition, is the criminal act of
throwing bottles from cars onto the
roads. Recently Constable Davis fol-
lowed one car from which three bot
Ties were thrown within mile or so.
The occupants were made to go over
the road with a broom and sweep off
all the broken glass. This IS an
5ffense punishable by prison SEN
aence.

usual character, according to an an
nouncement just made by the officials
of the Bell Telephone Company of
Pennsylvania and its Associated Com
panies. The medals are made avail

memorial fund in honor of the late
president of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company. Mrs. Vail
has made a substantial contribution
to the fund.
These medals are to be awarded
to Bell employees over the entire
country. For the year 1920 there
will be bronze medals for eighteen
of the eighteen thousand employees of
the Bell Telephone Company of Penn
sylvania and Associated Companies.
Nine are to be awarded to men and
nine to women. Those for men will
be in the form of a fob or charm and
those for women will be in the form
of a pendant. According to the an
nouncement these awards are not to
be made because of the length of
service with the company, but rather
''in recognition of unusual acts or
services which conspicuousLy illus
trate the high ideals that governed
Mr.. Vail as to public service" A
certificate engrossed on parchment
giving a statement of the reason for
the award will accompany each medal.
In addition to the bronze medals

given without reference to geograph-
ical distribution.

panies will make its own awards OF
the bronze medals. The Bell of Penn
sylvania and it's Associated Companies

of whom are to be selected by the EN-
rloyes and the other three to consist
of President L. H. Kinnard, Vice
President ard General Manager j. z.

selves majority vote in the selection
of the recipients. Any one connected

mend to the Committee of Award the
name of any other employee who may
be thought worthy of medal
Awards will be made for the. year
