JAMESBURG

Chief of Police Fillhower receiv-
ed word from Police Chief McDon-
nell, of South Amboy, that Edward
Boice, of this place. had come to
that city and left five small children
with a sister-in-law. without her
consent and asked hat the local
police should come and return the
children. Chief Fillhower instruct
ed the South Amboy police that the
proper authorities were Overseer of
the Poor O'Keefe of Monroe Town
ship, who has taken the matter up.
The trouble, as leading to the de-
sertion of the children came from a
separation of Mr.. and Mrs. Boice,
the latter leaving home on account
of alleged cruel treatment. 1t was
to evade the care of the children
that Edward Boice is charged with
leaving them with the sister-in-law.
Charged with leaving a car stand
ing on the streets without lights,
| driving same in that condition and
with the cut-out open. Archibald
Austin, colored, of this place. was
before Borough Recorder Harry
Emmons Tuesday night. Pleading
guilty to the o~ffense, Austin was
fined $1,000 and given a warning
of the danger of driving a car in
that condition.
On Tuesday, night a group of
young people went to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Rogers and
rendered their daughter and her
husband, Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond
M~cIlvaine, a noisy serenade. Re
freshments were served.
Complaint has been made by
Game Warden Hugg of this place,
against the Asbury Park Ice Com
pany and others, charging them
with dumping sawdust into the
lake at lower Jamesburg. Warden
Hugg is awaiting a return from the
New Jersey Game andd Fish Com
missioners, to whom the complaint
was made direct, as to what action
to take. as a corporation is made
defendant instead of an individual.
Sawdust is one of the most destruc-
tive substances that can be dumped
into a stocked stream as fish a
ing this fine matter into their gifts
die almost instantly.
y Harry Lokerson is at Atlantic
City as a delegate, representing Me-
: chanics Home Council, Junior Order
j., United American Mechanics for the
, t~hree-days session.

1t is beginning to look as though
the school will be minus an orches-
ira this year. NO one mas COiio
ward as yet with any reorganization
plans concerning the orchestra. An
orchestra holding forth during
chapel exercises drives away any
gloomy atmosphere which may exist
and also hidden talent which may
be brought out by the organization

cover. 1t is hoped that efforts will
be made soon to reorganiZe the or
chestra which is a necessary cog in
the machine of school life.
