STATE VIEWS ON SCHOOL QUESTION
STATE POLICE WILL ACT
TO PROHIBIT VANDALISM

Farmers and jewellers in country
communities will have the protection
of the state police this year to prevent
people from cities stealing and de-
stroying flowers, shrubs and budding
fruit trees. In former years, especi-
ally since the advent of the automo-
bile for general use, people have come
into the country in the Spring and
Summer and many fruit trees, bloom
ing plants and even growing crops
were either stripped of their blossoms
or totally destroyed.
This year the state police will act
in conjunction with rural jewellers to
stop this pernicious practice. Col.
Schwartzkopf urges troopers and agri-
cultural societies to cooperate to pre-
vent all such depredations committed
by motorists, particularly with refer
ence to theft of blossoms, fruit, vege-
tables and fowl.
The police chief urges farmers to
communicate all depredations TO troop
ers Immediately upon the commission
of a crime. .
He suggests that any person wit
Messing a violation of the law hold the
offender until the police have been
notified, or obtain proper Identified
ton, including automobile numbers.

Hackett Again High
AT Crescent Traps
High Wind Prevented Perfect
ScOres-ROsell Brought Down
25 in One String.

With a high wind blowing across
the traps of the Crescent Trapshoot-
ing Club, the scores made last Satur-
day afternoon were a great credit to
the shooters who participated in the
club match. Because of the approach
of Easter and the consequent busy
time for many of the club members,
the attendance was not sc great as on
former occasions, but the enthusiasm
rain just as high.
Dory Hackett again came out high
gun with a score of 81 out of a pos
sible 100. He did not break 25
straight in any string, but he came
very near to so doing twice when he
broke "a blue rocks each time. Dan
Resell did break rs in one string, but
his other three strings did not net
him enough to win out over Hackett.
He made a total of SO. Powers came
in third with a score of 85. With ia
vorable weather conditions either of
these men would have made several
more points.

Hammonton Defeats

Strong Wind Helped Visitors BY
Carrying Ball-ScOre
Was 22-1O.

The strong Hammonton baseball
team came here last Saturday and
captured the game from the Pleasant
vile High School team. The score
was 22-10. Hammonton started right
in to capture the game by making six
runs in the first inning, while Pleas
antville only scored one run in it's
first time at the bat.
There was a high wind blowing dur
ing the game, which carried the bat
ted balls a long distance. On sew
eral occasions hits which would only
have been singles, or doubles at the
best under ordinary circumstances,
went far enough with the wind to
make three-baggers.
The features of the game were the
home run made by Jacobs, for the
visitors, in the first inning, and the
hits made by Henry for the local
team. The score follows:-

Good Friday Service
Was Most Impressive
Protestant Denominations Met
at One Altar to Renew
Pledges of Faith.

The most unique and the most won
derful service ever held in the history
of the Mainland churches was held on
Good Friday evening in the Salem M.
E.. Church, when unitedly for the first
time the various denominations met
as one, around the Lords table. 1t
will ever be remembered as an I'M
forgettable scene and service, at
which Rev. Louis D.. Stultz gave an
inspiring sermon on Remembering
Jesus Christ, the Lord and Redeem
err"
1t was a fitting climax to the series
of meetings of Holy Week, when the
various pastors came with messages
of uplift and inspiration. A promi-
lent business man said: at was the
most wonderful meeting l have ever
attended in my life. l have never
seen anything so splendid and won
derful as that scene in Salem, that l
witnessed at that communion serv-
ice"
These are the testimonies of all who
participated in this night of Gods
Almighty power and presence.
How was such a meeting ever ar
ranged or carried through as this was
that Good Friday evening? has been
asked by not a few.
1t is the result first of a suggestion
hat was passed between two pastors
who worked side by side. Last year
the younger minister ventured to
breach the subject of a Communion
Service" 1t was eagerly accepted,
with the result that the Wesley and
the First Baptists had a united Com
munlon Service that evening. n
possibilities OF a larger and more sig
nifcant movement was, after that, be-
fore some of the pastors hearts and
minds. During the year The Main
land Ministerial Union" came into be-
ing, and has been functioning in yari-
Gus directions for the well-being of
the churches of the whole community.
TWO months ago, when the Union
me in Salem M. e.. Church, the sug-
gestlon was made for the Holy Week
Services, and then to finish with a
great Communion Service. Fol a mo-
ment or two the men faced a new sit
uation, but, with that Spirit of the
Christ, e,unitedly, and h Rubicon
was crossed. Those who participated
in the meeting were profoundly
stirred within their hearts and minds
as they saw that beautiful church
crowded to its doors, from all parts
of the community, eXemplifying the
motto, All One in Christ Jesus.
The entire service was in the hands
OF the pastor OF the church, the Rev.
Thomas Hicks. The singing of the
hymns was more than inspirational,
the music was under the splendid

Mainland Players
Are Getting Placed
Old Timers Being Assigned to
Teams for Beginning of
Baseball Season.

With the advent of the baseball sea-
son many mainland players are get
ting placed for the summer. George
Smedley, one of the former pitching
stars OF the Pleasantville High School
team, is to play this season with the
Atlantic City A~ll-Scholastic aggrega-
ton, according to an announcement
made a few days ago. fash, also a
former Pleasantville star, a first base
man for the ~Pleasantville Regulars, is
to play this season with the Currie
Company Team in the Atlantic City
Industrial League.
In the makeup of The Somers Point
club it is rumored that Brownie"
Sanders may be behind the bat. He
was a P~leasantville Regular catcher.
Stretch, the old Point catcher, has re-
tired from baseball because of an in
jury received last year. Carlos CARR
son has been named acting manager
of the Point club in preparation for
the opening of the season ext week.
The Pointers will in all probability
make their debut with the strong
Vineland Athletic Club team as their
opponents. Under the direction of
Manager Garrison and several other
old-timers they are rapidly rounding
into form and expect a great season.
Tommy Hentz, who last year pitch
ed several sensational games for the
locals, will be a member of the pitch
ing staff this eason along with Her
bert Kuhl, former Atlantic City High
School 'hurler, and Big Joe Lambert,
a southpaw pitcher.
The infield will be made up of
frankie Hart at first base, Joe Steel
man will play second base, with his
brother Frank at third. Bill Cum
mings will most likely play shortstop.
Dan Steelman, Campbell, McDevitt
and Douglass are the o%utielders left
over from 1921
