COAL PROBLEM STILL
REMAINS UNSOLVED
Local Dealers Face Shortage
of the Fuel, and Outlook
is Anything but Bright

The coal situation in Newark is be-
coming alarming according to several
coal dealers. The offices have been
overwhelmed with orders from the
townspeople and have been forced to
turn many customers away. One
dealer said Monday that he had
phoned to Scranton for a car of the
precious article but so far had not
heard from it,
There has been a persistent rumor
ahairat that coal may be purchased
cheaper in Elkton than in Newark
but from all reports this is not the
case. Pea, nut and stove coal is sell
ing at S14.50 at the present time here
which is cheaper that the Elkton peo
pie pay.
With the coming of bitter weather
and the continued scarcity of the
precious mineral, the situation fol
the next few weeks looks very grave
Many of the residents are using cok'
in their furnaces with some degree o
success.

DR.. HULLIHEN WILL

University President Returns
from Second Trip to Hos

Home Here
IS IMPROVING SLOWLY

DR.. Walter Hullihen returned yes
terday to his home here after spend
ing two days in Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, where he was under observation
of the surgeons there. He has been
ordered by his physicians to attempt
no work and to allow no business
cares to enter his mind, and it is be-
lieved that he will not be at his desk
at the University until the first of the
year.
When, after weeks sojourn at
Atlantic City following the operation
performed upon him at the hospital
he had not improved as was hoped for,
he decided to make another trip to
the hospital to consult with the sur
geons there. This trip was made last
Sunday. The doctors in Baltimore
assured him that his condition was
satisfactory but that plenty of rest
would be needed to restore him to his
customary vigor.

DR.. Steel in Nasty
Accident Sunday
Speeding Car Sideswipes His Car
Along Elkton Road. Turns Com
pletely Over and Lands
in Ditch
ESCAPES WITH SLIGHT BRUISES

While driving along the Elkton
Road about 3 o'clock Sunday after
noon on his way to visit a patient,
DR., Walt Fl. Steel experienced nasty
accident and miraculously escaped
serious injuries when his car was
sdeswiped, turned turtle and landed
in the ditch.
The doctor heard the approach. of a
car from the rear and drew over to
the side. The speeding autoist pass
ed him but cut in sharply in front
of the doctors coupe. The hind wheel
of the passing car struck the smaller
car a glancing blow and twisted the
left front wheel completely out of
line. The momentum of the latter
was sufficient to cause it to completely
turn over and land in the ditch near
by. Although stunned for minute
or two from the suddenness of the
whole affair, DR.. Steel managed to
crawl out through broken window
and emerged unhurt upon the road
way. How he escaped unscathed
from the shower of broken glass and
the shock of the impact still remains
mystery.
The home to which the doctor was
heading was but a short distance
down the road, and several of the
family within saw the accident ant
rushed to his aid When they ar
rived, however, DR.. Steel had cleared
himself from the wreck of his car ant
went on down to the house to attenC
to his patient.
The driver of the offending ca
never hesitated in his flight but in
! stead put on more speed after the ac
, cident and soon disappeared. Accord
ing to eye-witnesses, it was an ex
ample of the worst kind of reckles
driving. No clue has been uncovere
which would lead to the identity 0
the driver.
The Steel car was badly damage
aud had to be towed into town.

Choral Club Preparing Carols

That Newark will have it's Second
Community Christmas Tree was as
sured at a meeting of the Choral Club
together with several townspeople
held last Friday night at the home
of Mrs. J. Pearce Cam. The holiday
fever seems to have struck Newark
completely amidships and everyone
was strongly in favor of celebration
on Christmas Eve.
The first affair of its kind which
reached large proportions was held
last Christmas and was pronounced a
big success in every way. The big
tree was in place and Illuminated in
plenty of time for the kids to marvel
and wonder when Santa was coming.
The townspeople gave their hearty
approval of the movement and its evil
dent success prompted the men and
women interested to make this years
celebration just as good.
The Community Tree will be erected
and lighted under the auspices of the
Choral Club. At the meeting Friday
night, it was decided that the tree
be purchased at once so that the work
of Illuminating it will not be delayed.
Chairman f. H Vogt, who is also
President of>the Choral Club, appoint
ed the following committee to look
after tn "details:
Program, Mayor Eben Frazer.
Tree and Lighting, E. c. Wilson
and Frank Fader.
The mammoth tree will be placed
as it was last year on the Academy
grounds and at o'clock on Christmas
Eve, service will be held under it. The
religious devotions will be in chargt
of the churches and all the minister!
will have a part in them. In addition
the Choral Club will lead in com
munity singing, with the possibility o.
some carols to be sung around th'
streets later.
The expense of the affair this yea
will be greatly lessened due to tn
fact that all the wiring used las
year is still intact, along with mos
of the colored light bulbs.
1t is requested that all members o
the Choral Club arraneg to be pres
ent at the celebration and a cordia
/ invitation is extended to all resident
, of Newark and the community a

OTHER TOWNS INVITED

The second meeting of the various
committees connected with the forth
coming New Years Day parade was
held last night and reports were made
and plans laid for the booming of the
affair.
Ira Shellender, chairman of the So
Letting Committee, reported the sum
of $322.50 in cash already raised from
the citizens of the town. In addition
to this, possibly articles of useful and
ornamental nature, to the amount of
5000 have also been procured from
the merchants to be offered as prizes
in the various classes.
Several other reports were made
which showed that progress had been
made along the lines of advertising
music and registration. Chairman
Smith urged the members of the COM
mittees to get down to work as soon
as possible so that as many of the
details as possible could be arranged
before the big day arrives.
1t was also decided to offer a money
prize of 500 to the best appearing
outside band as it marches past the
reviewing stand. This prize SHOULD
bring bands from all nearby towns
into competition. The judges will, NJ
doubt, be on the low roof above Pow
ellis restaurant, and the judges will
be for the most part out of town men
1t is expected that both the loca
bands will donate their services free
Arrangements were also made tt
invite fraternal and civic organiza
tions from the surrounding towns ant
communities to come to Newark oil

SMALL ATTENDANCE ATT MEETING


The Chamber of Commerce met last
Thursday night in the Council Cham
bers and although the inclement
weather kept many of the members
away, several questions were brought
up and discussed, all having direct
bearing upon the best interests of the
town. President Griffin was suffer-
ing from heavy cold and could not
attend, z. c. Wilson acting in his
place.
Mr.. j. T. Smith, Chairman of the
New Years Parade Committee ap-
peared before the Chamber and briefly
outlined the plans for the big affair.
He asked for the hearty support Of
the Chamber of Commerce in making
1t a rousing sdccess. He stated that
the whole idea expressed in the parade
is that of boosting the town and that
all who have entered actively into
the spirit of the proposition are
spending their time and energy with
out thought of payment for their
efforts. 1t was moved and carried
that Committee be appointed to
represent the Chamber and to work
in conjunction with the General Com.
mittee. Mr.. Wilson then appointed
Messrs. Dougherty, Fader and L
Handloff to serve on that Committee
1t was further moved that sum not
to exceed $40 be devoted to the cause

and distributed in any way the Com
mittee decides.
Road Signs Proposed
Mr.. Wilson, the chairman of a COM
mittee appointed several months ago
to look into the matter of signs along
the Lincoln Highway at each end of
town, advertising Newark to the
travelling public, made report to the
body. He stated that the cost of an
artistic signboard, 16 it. by 8 it,,
would be approximately $3.50. This
price was considered to be too high
by several of the members present
and other arrangements are being
contemplated. It was decided to write
to several tire companies with view
to having some kind of historical
sketch written in an advertising sigr
relative to Newark, the same to be
illuminated at the expense of the
town. The matter of a rest room fol
tourists was also discussed but it was
the general opinion that the hotels
restaurants and garages of the towr
were in a position to keep up sucl
rooms, and that the Chamber o:
Commerce was not in position a
this time to take any definite action,
The meeting adjourned withou
futher business being transacted, t.
meet again at the call of the Presi
dent.
