Kiwanis Club Favors
An Athletic Field
Eormer~4 C Commander Hudson of
American Legion Says This
Memorial Suits Veterans.

AT the meeting OF the local Kiwanis
Club held on Tuesday, the members
took action to promote the movement
for an athletic field. A motion was
passed which empowers President
Zippler to appoint a committee of five
to cooperate with committees from
the American Legion and other organ
izations.
In bringing the subject before the
body, President Zippler told of the
need of an athletic field in the city,
how the high school as well as other
teams had been obliged to jump from
one field to another and then stated
that he wished to see the Kiwanis
Club go on record as favoring such a
movement. DR.. w. ]. Hudson, former
commander of the American Legion
Post, stated that tie field would be a
suitable memorial for the boys who
went from this town to the World
War and those who Went West
The motion placing the club on record
in favor of the field was then offered
and adopted.
Albert E. James, who offered the
resolution, then stated that resolutions
passed by different organizations
would not help the matter to any great
extent with the cramped condition OF
the finances in the City Council. He
made the motion that a committee be
appointed to investigate the matter
and cooperate with the committees
appointed by other civic bodies. The
motion was passed.
The speaker of the day was Judge
E. A. Higbee, who delivered a fine
address, pointing out the necessity OF
cooperation in all lines among local
organizations.

President Zippler, cleo gave a short

Pupils Are Taught
Valuable Lessons
Rural School Exhibits Are Turn
ed Over to Atlantic County
Nursing Service.

This week the many articles of clio.
thing, ornaments and toys which COM
prised the splendid exhibit of the rural
schools of Atlantic County at the Egg
Harbor Fair were brought to this city
and turned over to the Atlantic Coun-
ty Nursing Service to be distributed
where they would do the most good.
The materials from which the many
articles are made were given to the
pupils by the local branch of the At
lantic City Chapter of the Red Cross,
with the idea that the finished articles
would later be given to those who
needed such things. This gives the
small school children who made the
goods the valuable lesson of service
to others while teaching them at the
same time some useful art.
The teaching Is done, not by regu-
lar sewing teachers, but by the in
structors in general subjects who de-
vote much spare time to this work.
The articles in the exhibit comprise
children's dresses and underwear,
knitted cap and boys suits, which are
in many instances better made and
better looking than many displayed
for sale in stores. While the girls do
the sewing the boys spend much time
in making toys and useful articles
which are given later to the children
who have no toys for their enjoyment.
One particularly attractive exhibit
this year was a bed quilt which was
quilted at one of the small rural
schools and which was highly com
mented upon by experts in that line
The exhibit was under the direction of
Miss Cora Schaible, the County Help
ing Teacher, who later had the arti-
cles shipped to this city for charitable
,run

POST OFFICE
SURE To COME
Government Planning to Save at
Least $500, O00, 900 During the
Next Ten Years.
President Approves
Especial to The ~Pleasantville Press.)
By ROBERT FULLER.
A11tnnnn4nr- AArnnhintaa P1,nnn.n

Washington, d. c., Sept. 7.-Uncle
Sam is going to invest in P~leasantville
real estate, as soon MS the plan of
Postmaster General Work is authoriz-
ed by Congress. 1t is proposed that
post Office.
With the lease of the post office
having but a short time to run and
with business continually increasing
there is every reason why a govern
ment owned building should be erected
or purchased in the very near future.
With the Congressman of the District
keeping the matter in mind and hav-
ing the appropriation inserted in the
next budged a Federal building would
soon be added to the other modern
improvements of Pleasantville.
President Harding has approved the
plan. 1t is national in scope and when
put into operation will save the gov
eminent $500, 000, 900 in ten years.
Postmaster General Work in his let
ter to President Harding explained
that he departmen t nov pays an an
nual rental for buildings which house
all of our post Offices, totaling more
than $4,000, 600. These ~fis"res nave
been growing at a tremendous rate
recently as leases expired and owners
demand and obtain substantial increa-
ses.
Ii was also pointed out that shame
less speculation or the part of those
who try to prey on the government
will be abolished for all time.
The Government can borrow money
at 4R to buy or build post offices,
which will be tax free, says Work.
Whereas, when leased, the government
pays a rental high enough TO permit
the lessor to borrow money at 7 to
1917 and still profit.
1886 of Uncle Sans post Offices are
in less ed quarters. Only Loo IRE in
ION IS owned b, the government.
The parcel post and other ADJUST
rents have resulted i'll earnings which
have more than doubled in the last
ten years and are constantly growing.
Administration leaders III Congress-
favor the plan and Treasury officials
have expressed the opinion that 1t is
essential to economical management
of the postal system.
The ~Pleasantville Chamber of Com
merce is to meet this Friday evening,
and one of the matters to be taken
up is that of a Federal building for
this city. 1t is expected that a COM
mittee will be named to bring the
matter to the attention of Congress
man Bacharach and request him TO
work for the necessary appropriation.
