MARY FISHER HOME
APPEALS FOR HELP

To the Editor.
Dear Sir:-In behalf of the twen-
ty aged men and women guests of
the Mary Fisher Home here in Ten
afiy, who now face eviction and the
severing OF what they consider their
last friendships, may / ask you to
publish this letter? / am sure that
among your readers there are many
who will be glad to lend a helping
hand. and 1 know that n con-
tributor will be well repaid by the
good-luck wishes which these old
people send to interested friends.
Twenty-three years ago Miss Mary
Fisher established the home as a
refuge for professional folk. She
gave her all. but the home was never
endowed. Five hundred workers at
various times have been cared for
and there ara now twenty guests
The buildings have become made
quate for continued occupancy. I'm

new building. these life guests. who

adequately and properly But this
mean little to them in comparison
to the mental tragedy they appre-
bend in having to pass their few
remaining years in strange, new u
roundings. Their physical wants are
small, but mental peace looms large
to them. Surely those who help them
attain it will be rewarded by the
blessings which only the aged
those who have lived and value life
in retrcspect-know how to bestow.
The daily needs of these teachers,
artists and writer's of days long past
are being met. The immediate need
is a new building. The present n
considered adequate nearly a quar-
ter of a century age, cannot meet
the requirements and the standards
necessary today. Its fire hazard is
too great, and unsanitary condi-
tions are insurmountable. A new
building cannot be financed out of
the slim fund which provides for
current running expenses.
In circumstances such as these, 1
feel fully justified in appealing to
the generosity. of the public, and l
feel sure that you will aid me in
calling to public notice this worthy
cause. Anyone who wishes to visit
the home will be made welcome by
Mrs. MARVEL. the superintendent. or
Miss Belle Durkee. resident ecre-
tary. Contributions may be sent
direct to the Mary Fisher home.

Thanking you in the name of

COME DEFENDS DRY AGENTS.

When he resisted prohibition
agents who were searching his place,
Nicholas Schaefer of Greenville, re-
ceived a black eye and several
bruises. Chief Prohibition Agent
Cone of South Amboy. yesterday de-
clared that the agents were within
their rights when they landed Schae-
fer roughly. He said:
"Schaefer resisted the officers OF
the United States government and
that is a crime even more serious
than that of selling liquor against
the law"
The agents claimed that Schaefer
threatened to throw a bowl of hot
soup at them. and they had to hit
him to subdue him. In a series of
raids in the northern section Of the
state considerable liquor was seized.
