MEMS MEETING WAS
LARGELY

~,
: It IS not often that a Medical Man
speaks on the platform or pulpit, on
religious themes, but DR.. VIM. Ball,
of New York City, on Sunday after
noon in the High School did, and
those who heard him are not likely to
forget the theme, or the speaker in a
hurry. 1t was considered by the hun
dred or so of men who gathered as one
of the finest meetings of its kind that
has been held in the vicinity for a
long time.
The atmosphere was that of expec-
fancy, and a spirit of freedom was
manifested from the very start. The
song service led by Mr.. Frank Souder,
soon became an avenu of heart ex-
preston. 1t was fine singing by a fine
company of men. Mr.. Elwood Weeks,
the chairman, read the scriptures,
'The Parable of the Pounds, and in
troduced to the audience the soloist
of the afternoon. Wilmer e. Boldly,
of Wilmington, may have come into
Jour midst a stranger, but he went out
a friend who had sung his songs into
the hearts and minds of men. He es-
tablished his friendship with the men
when he recited a little poem, Keep
A-Going", and then sang his solo. AS
he reached the chorus so free the men
felt that a volume of sound went up
and Joined heartily in the song. This
was only one of three that he gave,
and then led the men near the close
in a little song service all their own
DR.. Balls subject was 1.-THE Success
and Failure of Life. 1t was a rich
blending of the scientific method of
approach to the religious ends of life,
as well as a practical application of
the great truths that have come down
to us in the Revelation of God.
What is Life? asked the speaker.
Science cannot enlighten you nature
cannot inform you, history does not
explain what Life is, God alone can
inform you, and you have to go where
ii is to be found, in His Book.
God alone is the author of Life, and
supremacy Mans life. But what is the
purpose of Life? again asked the
speaker; surely it is not for what a
vast number are trying to do to-day.
Mar was made for God, and until he
becomes like Him he will never real
ize Gods divine purpose of life. But
once more the questioner asks, How
can this be possible? 1t is only thru
the Son whom He sent that any man
can be able to live the life God in
tended us, and wants us to live.
DR.. Hall and Wilmer S. Boldly will
need no other introduction to the
men of Pleasantville. and it is safe
to prophesy that when they come
there will be a much larger crowd of
men to hear them.

xister WAse Tysy nse1 Strong
Pleasantville High School will journey
to Moorestown this Friday afternoon
and meet the team from the high
school in that city for the first time.
Coach Parsels has put them through
a hard drill for the past few days,
and the team Is in fine condition.
Moorestown has played six games
up to date. The eleven from that
school has lost to Collingswood High,
score 90; defeated Brown Prep, score
rs; defeated Narberth High, score
60; tied with Vineland High, score
1913; lost to Woodbury. High, score
10; and lost to Mt. Holly High, score
20-3. None of these schools are on
the local schools schedule, but the
team from Moorestown is pretty
strong, as G%lassboro High School de-
feated Vineland AT, while Vineland
tied with Moorestown, 1913. High
School held G%lassboro to a &c tie here
a few weeks ago.
Up TO date the local eleven has lost
one game to Hammonton High, won
a game from Middle High School, and
played tie games with Glassboro and
Bridgeton. Because the Ocean City
game will be protested, it is not hsing
counted until the State Inter-Scholas-
tic Association decides whether it
should be replayed, or given a tie to
the school from this city, or a victory
to Ocean City High.

NO MONEY FOR
new DRAINAGE
Park Avenue Improvement Must Be
Held Over by City Council at
Least for This Year.
TWO NEW FIRE U

At the meeting of City Council on
Monday night it developed that the
proposed storm water drainage system
for Park Avenue and adjacent terri
tory must be held over at least for the
balance of this year and possibly next
year as well. This fact was brought
out when it was discovered by the re-
cent report of the city auditors that
the bonding capacity of the city had
been o~ver-reached already. This con-
dition will also affect the proposed
municipal park that was to be started
this year as a memorial to the World
War Veterans.
Both the above improvements will
have to wait until the next fiscal year
when the proposed raise in valuations
all over the city by the assessors will
give sufficient for the city to raise
the amount of bonds they can issue.
1t is estimated that the valuations will
be raised approximately n and a
half million dollars, which will proper
%tionately increase the city's legal
bonding capacity. The Park Avenue
drainage system will cost about $15,-
900, of which amount the Board of
Freeholders will pay one-half. Coun-
Gilman Peck started to insist on the
passage of the ordinance on third read
ing, but was advised by City Solicitor
Champion that it would be inadvisa-
BILE to pass the ordinance carrying a
sis, 900 appropriation, when the city
was powerless to raise the money on
a bond issue.
At the request of Councilman Peck,
the City Clerk was instructed to ask
the water company to install fire plugs
at New Road and Fernwood Avenue
and at Bayview and Prospect Ave
nues.
Councilman James asked for the
third reading of ordinance number 244
to. change the name of Main Street to
Shore Road He was advised by the
City Solicitor that the ordinance must
first be advertised for third reading
before it could be legally passed.
James then moved that this ordinance
be advertised for third reading at the
first meeting in December, and the
motion passed with WINS, James and
Umbrine voting yes, and Peck and
Yates no. Councilman Stephenson
was absent because of illness and
Councilman Blackman was also alb
sent!
City Solicitor Champion reported
that he had the ordinance to provide
the annual rate for sewerage rentals
ready for this meeting if the members

.6Hcit6r reported on the hear
tn1su1qeH by the Public Utilities Com
mission regarding the abolition of the
grade crossing of the Reading Rail-
road. nt%Main street. He said three
propositions were considered and tes-
timony taken at the meeting, namely,
the bridging of the highway with an
elevation of II feet, and depressing
the tracks six feet, which would cost
approximately $250,000; the bridging
of the highway at the street level and
further depressing the tracks, which
would cost about 100000 or the ele-
walton of the tracks through the en-
tire city, which would cost about ST.
100000. He said the city opposed the
17-feet high bridge but favored the
bridge at the present Main Street
level. He said the Utilities Commits
sion desired to know whether or not
the city desired to submit further
facts in the case and he asked instruc-
lions from Council in the matter. In
the light of already having exceeded
the bonding capacity of the city, and
the city having to bear a part of what
ever cost there was in abolishing the
grade crossing it was decided to let
the matter lay over until the next
meeting when Council will inform the
City Solicitor what action to take. 1t
is the general opinion that nothing
will be done at this time to abolish
the crossing at grade.
Two temporary improvement notes
were ordered issued for $3.50 each to
purchase property on South Main
street for the opening up of Oakland
Avenue to Main Street. Two school
Improvement bonds for $1,000 each
were ordered issued to pay money
now due on the construction of the
new Decatur Avenue grade school.

(Ore.) Chamber of Commerce requesting
to know the amount of money s%portsmen

missioner of Fish and Game replied that
from $50, 000, 900 to $780, 900. 900 were left in
Maine yearly by those who aunt and
fish; from Florida came word that $780,
900, 900 were left there by sportsmen each
year; Wisconsin placed the figures at

tered points give a total of $315, 900, 600.
wanted these answers to refute any argu-
ment hat it doesn't pay to cater to
sportsmen.
With game more plentiful now than it
has been for many years, with wise con-
servation measures being put in force.
with the United States Government very
much interested in the game in every
state, it does pay every city and state to
cater to sportsmen. The states that
spent money yearly to breed game pres
serves and stocks them gets a lot OF
money back for its citizens, for the
sportsmen will go there to hunt and they
been one of the greatest hunting seasons
on record. Those who have not already
spent some time in the field had better
plan to go at once"

HUNTERS ARE
fine SPORTS
Six Millions of Dollars Paid for
Licenses this Season is the
Smallest Item.
r PAID $158,00O

That more than six millions of dol
lars have been paid into various state
treasures by hunters of large and
small game this fall is something that
everyone does not know" said Walter
A. Ennis. the local Winchester dealer,
yesterday.
This six million" continued Mr..
Ennis, lis only a small portion of the
money these sportsmen spend for the
pleasure of seeking game. The license
is. the least inexpensive thing that has
to be procured, but il is something
that is absolutely necessary. 1t is also
necessary for one to have a good gun,
the best of ammunition, the necessary
clothing, etc, If one is going to hunt
with comfort. We have done a bigger
business in sportsman's supplies this
year than ever before and | under
stand that the same situation is being
experienced by dealers all over the
United States.
