DR.. H.. C.. MUNRO
DIED SATURDAY
End Came After Long Illness
Deceased Was Superintendent
of County Asylum.
Funeral On Thursday

Henry C. Munro was i'll and had been
for some time, yet when the news of
his death came from Philadelphia it
proved a great shock to his many
friends here. He was one of those
men who had endeared himself to all
those with whom he came in contact
and his decease is mourned by every
citizen of this city. In respect to his
memory the city flag is at half mast
at the City Hall.
DR.. Munro died on Saturday night
at the residence of his sister, DR.. Effie
Paul, 1880 North Seventeenth street,
Philadelphia. The funeral will be in
charge of William B. Parsels & Sons,
of this city, and will be held at White
Hall, Pa, the residence of his parents,
on Thursday. He was a member of
the following organizations, all of
which are invited to. attend the funeral
services: keystone Lodge, Free and
Accepted Masons, of Linwood; Trinity
Chapter Royal Arch Masons, of Allan
tic City; Excelsior Council, Junior Or
der American Mechanics; Union Lodge,
Odd Fellows, of Pleasantville; Kiwan-
is Club, Atlantic City; Atlantic County
Medical Society, Atlantic County
Game Preserve, New Jersey State
Medical Society and American Medical
Association.
DIR. Munro was graduated from the
University of Pennsylvania and served
at st. Timothy's Hospital at Roxbor-
ough, Pa, where he was resident ply
stefan for n year.. From that place
he came to Atlantic City, where he
spent one summer season with DR.. w.
E. Darnall, practicing his profession.
In 1910 he came to Pleasantyille and
was associated in practice with DIR.
| Clyde M. Fish, and he remained here
until 1916, when he was appointed
superintendent of the Atlantic County
Il4Asvlamg~and Almshouse, to succeed
the late Tobias Mcconnell.
Since his arrival here in 1910, DR..
Munro was one of the most popular
and eminent physicians of this city.
He was greatly loved by everyone who
knew him, and it is said by those who
knew him best that he never had an
enemy. He was courteous and kind
and gave his undivided attention to
each of his patients. His gentle ways
with the sick gained for him much ad-
miration and his services were greatly
in demand while he was practicing in
this city.
While the head of the two large
County institutions many e ideas
were noticed in the working order of
things. He was held in high esteem
by all those connected with both insti-
tutions and his death will mean a
great loss at those places.
Some time after DR.. Munro came to
P%leasantville in 1910 he was married
to Miss Martha Tischke, of Eyerson,
Pa. While the doctor was resident
physician at st. Timothy's Hospital at
Roxborough, Miss Tischke was a
nurse at the same institution.
DR.. Munro vas forty-two years of
age on January 81. He is survived by
his wife, his parents, the Rev. and
Mrs. Henry G. Munro, and four sisters,
Miss Mary Munro, of White Hall, Pa;
Miss Bertha Munro and DR.. Effie Paul,
of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Corner, of
Pennsylvania.

HAD A LOOK At
THE HIGHWAYS
Commissioner Meffert and Secretary
Chazal Made a Tour of Inspection
OF Roads in Three Counties

Bruce Meffert, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, ac-
companied by Louis H. Chazal, secre-
tary of the Marion County Chamber
of Commerce, drove over to Gaines
vile Wednesday for the purpose of
having a look at the new road which
is being constructed between Gaines
vile and Burnett's Lake. The high
way is constructed with a limestone
base compacted to eight inches with
a three-inch wearing surface of Stag
and asphalt, and Mr.. Meffert and Mr..
Chazal report that it is a beautiful
stretch of highway, as smooth as a
billiard table. The construction of
the highway, which is not quite COM
pleted, is being done by the same con-
tractor who will construct the Dixie
Highway between the Lake county
line and Belleview. The stretch in
Alachua county and the stretch in
Marion county are both a part of state
road No. 2.
Mr.. Meffert and Mr.. Chazal learned
while in Gainesville that the county
commissioners of Alachua county
have awarded contract for the con-
struction of road across Orange
Lake between Island Grove and Citra.
There has been an effort for some
time to get this fill across the lake
1t will provide road from Citra to
Hawthorn and eventually a short
route to Jacksonville paralleling the
Seaboard Air Line, and with the
Seaboard route south of Ocala will
provide for a short route between
Tampa and Jacksonville. About one
mile of road needs to be constructed
within Marion county between Citra
and Orange Lake.
Mr.. Meffert and Mr.. Chazal made
the trip to Gainesville by way of the
Dixie Highway. Coming back they
came by way of Archer, Williston
Romeo, Cotton Plant and Martel and
they say that the latter route, while
about eighteen miles longer, is much
the better of the two at present.

CHASER
BURNED AND SUNK
Brooklyn Man Has Bad Luck With
An Ex-Navy Boat

Key West, June 15-(By Associated
Press)-The former submarine chaser
205, owned by Ernest T. Sulzer, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, is reported burning
near Sand Key. Vessels have gone
from here to the rescue. The chaser
was en- route from Key West to Ma
tanzas, Cuba.
The chaser burned to the waters
edge and Mrs. Sulzer, wife of the own
er, was slightly burned. The chaser
sank. Persons aboard were rescued
by the schooner Champion. The chaser
was the same which blew up in Key
West harbor in 1920, killing two men.
The navy department condemned her
and Sulzer purchased her. The fire
today is believed to have originated
by short circuit in a guest room.

tiful floral tributes, attesting the love
and esteem in which the departed was
held. Rev. W. F. Creson, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, in a few
well chosen words told of the life and
the patient suffering of the one who
is now beyond all earthly pain.

terment will be made. The pail bear

BANKHEAD WOULD
TABOO THE BOOZE
Alabaman Introduces a Bill to Make
Liquor Selling Ships Do Without
Government Aid

Washington, June 15.-(Associated
Press steps through legis-
lation to stop the sale of liquor on
American ships was started today
through presentation by Representa-
tive Bankhead, democrat, of Alabama,
of an amendment to the merchant
marine bill which would cut off gov
ernment aid provided in the measure
from any ship carrying Intoxicating
liquor. The Alabama representative
offered the amendment at meeting
of the House merchant marine COM
mittee of which he is a member
Considerable doubt was expressed that
the amendment would be accepted, as
the indications are that a majority of
members of the committee would vote
to report the bill as framed by the
committee
