Y. Committees Dine
Banquet At DUPONT Club Fitting
Close to Membership Drive

We have caught the spirit of cooper
alton and the combined efforts of indi-
viduals are bringing the results, we
have been building for the future, the
future in which our children and their
children will live, we are progressing
and at last are waking up to the real
ization of the great need of the COM
bined efforts of the Individual in the
life of a community were the closing
points in an appealing heart talk by
Secretary w. L. Duncan at the banquet
at the DUPONT Club ON Monday night
when the four losing teams dined in
good fellowship with the three vic
torious teams.
The past decade has G the devel-
opment of individuals as a whole and
their cohesion into a group of COM
munity workers for the interest OF
that community has tended towards
the development of a wonderful heart
felt spirit.
Yet we have caused a great deal of
suffering and pain because we have
failed to grasp the problems before us
of living together. We are Just be-
ginning to learn what this community
spirit is and we only hope that the next
generation might take up the problem
where we leave off and not have to go
thru the same chaos. There has been
the aim to acquire as individuals, it has
been the struggle and survival of the
fittest, now the aim is to get, be
strong and happy. The meek are COM

that which gathers for self alone will
be driven from the face of the earth,
for "the meek shall inherit the earth
1t was an appealing ending after an
evening of a lighter nature, and Mr.
Duncan brought home the fact that
the body of men assembled there had
in a n caught the spirit of co
operation, that they were g~rasping
the spirit Of the great leader, thai
they had awakened to the seriousness
and meaning of cooperation, and that
cooperation was being felt thruout the
community.

home, three miles from Penns Grove,

aged So years.
He had been having neuritic pains
at times for three weeks and was out
doors for some time before he came
in and lay down on the couch and ex-
pired.
The funeral was held this Friday,
at 2 o'clock, at his residence. Burial
was in Emmanuel Cemetery.
He leaves a widow, Mary Justice
Summerill, two daughters, Edna and
Emma, and one son, Josiah, aged y
years.
Last April, 9Th, a tornado wrecked
Mr.. Summerill's horse barn so it had
to be torn down and a new one built
The new barn, 80 by So feet, 20 post
with a 16- foot shute and shed was
completed two weeks ago. The ex-
ira work and care depleted Mr.: Sum-
merilPs nerve strength and having
caught cold the nerve pains proved
fatal.
He was the second son of the late
Josiah Summerill and Sarah A. Austin
and lived all his life on the farm where
he was born.

ELECTION RECOUNT

The recount of the ballots for sher-
if will be held next Monday, 26th, in
the Court House Salem, by the County
Board of Registry and Elections in the
presence of Judge c. c. Black.
The districts to be recounted are
Oldmans, Lower Penns Neck ano
fourth district Penns Grove, Judge
Black has the right to order other dis
tricts recounted.
AS Mr.. Brown was not a candidate
in the letter of the law and as the
names on the ballots rejected would
not pass on a check or deed Mr.. Kidd's
friends have little fear that he will be
counted out.
The fact that Sheriff Kidd is a Mas
ter Mason and a Shriner, may allay the
feelings of some who were stampede
for George w. Brown.

As To The Grounds

= ~
The Sack land is high and has good
drainage with cement walks on Sack
Avenue and State Street to it. 1t is
central and most of the children will
not have to cross Broad and Main st.
at Union Corner. 1t will remove the
congestion at North Broad and Har-
mony Streets.
Ten years ago the people voted to
buy all the land from Beach Avenue to
the drain ditch and between State st.
to the Railroad for 1000 but the
Board refused to do so. That failure
will cost Penns Grove Borough
100000.
Young for the Sack land now will
partly remedy the mistake.
The Barber land out East Harmony
Street, is 1000 feet from North Broad
and at the extreme east edge of the
Borough. While it is a larger tract
and the first cost less, in the future
for grading, drainage and cement
walks to keep the children out of the
mud will cost $4,000 more in a few
years.
A ditch to drain a pond in John A.
Featherer's field runs thru the tract
and it is so low in parts that meadow
bull rushes grow on it, making it I'M
profitable to grow crops.
Most of the children will have to
pass Broad and Harmony, making the
same congestion which will grow with
years.

Coalition OF Democrats and
Progressives Plan Fight In.
Congress for Amendment.

A determined fight will be made
in the next Congress by coalition
of Democrats and Republican pro
gressives" for an amendment to the
revenue act requiring publicity on
all income tax returns, II was learn
ed here today.
Senator LaFollette (Rep) of Wis
consin, has served notice that at the
opening Of Congress in December lie
will introduce q bill to accomplish
this. Such legislation Is regarded as
a direct attack on large Taxpayers,
BILE way by the Government, through
a rule holding that tax matters are
confidential"
Internal Revenue Bureau officials
today frankly said that II the pro.
vision, forbidding them to discuss
income tax matters, were removed
by Congress, it probably would open
up new and almost unbelievahly
large sources of revenue which are
now being withheld from the Gov
eminent.
Revenue officials of the Treasury,
dealing with the tax returns of large
corporations, are aghast at the
skilled and successful attempts Of
shrewd corporations, able to hire the
best lawyers, to hoodwink the Gov
eminent. So successful have been
these trust lawyers that the Govern.
ment this year will have to refund
to corporations, an amount which
may exceed $75,000,0OO on taxes al
ready paid into the Treasury.
Publicity Of the returns Of such
corporations, officials said, would
open to the Government sources Of
information about the true liability
of those concerns, that are not now
easily discernfble to the limited staff
of investigators at the command Of
the Internal Revenue Bureau.
