There is a certain young matron OF
Philadelphia who is a bit absent
minded and, consequently, apt to con
fuse matters at times. On one oc-
casion she was fearful lest she would
forget to order the chickens in time
for dinner. ~Throughout the forenoon
she kept repeating to herself "Chick.
Finally, when the hour approached
at which she was accustomed to call
the grocer, she took up the phone and
asked:
Have you any nice young gro
cers?"
why yes, madam" came in a sur
prised tone from the other end.
This is Mrs. Smith talking" she
went on, "and | want you to send me
a couple dressed"
Send you a couple dressed"
"Well-no; you had better send
them u%ndressed, and then when my
husband comes home he'll wiring their
necks and the cook can dress Them

Hospital for Pleasantville.
r Press:

Editor Pl%easantville Press:
The officers and members of the
Woman's Auxiliary of the Pleasant
vile Hospital note with great pleas
ure the action of the Chamber of
Commerce in presenting the subject
Of a Hospital for ~Pleasantyille. There
is no place in the State where such an
institution is more needed. Pleasant
vile, the gateway to our sister resort,
Atlantic City, is compelled to see
wounded and dying people taken over
the Boulevard to the Atlantic City
Hospital, which causes delays some
times which prove fatal in many cas-
es, where If Pleasantville had a hos
pital there would be no need to take
such cases or any other to Atlantic
City or Camden, the nearest hospitals.
When the subject of a hospital was
presented to the Chamber of Com
merce by esteemed fellow citizen
and Post Master, Mr.. Obert, during
the course of his remarks stated that
some people had started such a prop
osition some years ago, but the pro-
ject had fallen through Mr.. Obert
did not know at that time that the
woman's auxiliary of the P~leasantville
Hospital were compelled, IN account
of the war breaking out at that time,
to drop the Hospital proposition for
a while and direct all their energies
to help win the war, which they no.
bly, did. The auxiliary voted to place
the money which was held in trust in
one of the local banks until times be-
came normal again, when they would
be ready to put the proposition
through. The auxiliary has a tidy
sum in one of the banks which has
been drawing interest for the past five
years. The Woman's Auxiliary of the
Pleasantville Hospital stands ready at
any time to cooperate with the
Chamber of Commerce or any other
organization who has the interests of
a Hospital for our Suburb Beautiful,
Pleasantville, New Jersey, at heart.
The officers are as follows:
MRS. j. B. WESTCOTT, Pres.
MRS. DIR. MUNRO, Sec'y.
MRS. SCOTT LONG, Treas.

Editors Pleasantville Press:
| have been reading clippings from
your paper sent me by sohss' Of my
many friends in PleasantyffS and
feel that | am justified In correcting,
what seems to me and others 10 be, a
false impression left after anyone
reads the articles telling of Mrs. Pres
ton Adams appointment to succeed
me as Principal of School No. ~
In these articles, | find the follow
ing: will take the place of William
Richards who will not return next
year.. This statement, which has
been so tactfully or uninfentionAlIy
constructed, is a nice way of saying
that | was not reelected for the com
ing school year. City Superintendent
Sullivan and the Board of Education
will bear me out in the statement that
| was reelected, and, that | mailed
my resignation the day after leaving
~Pleasantville.
| might add that | enjoyed the pleas
ure of working with my excellent pu-
pills and their cooperative parents
during my two years service in Pleas
antville, and that 1t was with deep
regret that | decided, after some con-
~sideration, that it was best TO resign
for personal advancement.
