Of the Sulphur Color Department Of
the Dye Works were awarded silver
watch fobs. The pendant of the fobs
is a beautiful piece of enamelling in a
silver background. Each fob is en-

Leading Boys From Delinquency

Judge H. G. Gear, of the House OF
Detention, Philadelphia, spoke at the
Y. NJ. c. A. on Sunday afternoon
upon Leadership For Delinquent
Boys to about forty men.
A boys history begins before birth
and is influenced by the heredity and
environment of the parents. Judge
Gear gave some interesting stories of
cases that had come before him and
bore out the statement. He then said
that leadership is given boys from
birth and that his began with telling
his own children their evening stories
A little later the neighborhoOd chill
dren came and sat with the group.
He later became head of a juvenile
club in Philadelphia with 300 girls
and 700 boys, and dealt with children
of several nationalities. The outstand-
ing fact in his later work was that
leaders were selected from the boys
who were first beginners under him
boys who had grown from gamlns tc
responsible men.
In grouping boys under leadership
they are found dramatically good OF
bad. The latter can be diverted into
proper channels. Every man in a
community has something to give. 9
boy. 1t is a quality of personality
and boys will follow it when led. Each
group will ever uphold that his leader
is the best and will profit according
to the quality of being led. In closing.

unselfsh devotion to an ideal so Won
derfully portrayed by Jesus Christ.
After the talk an open discussion
of problems in Carneys Point anc

Mechanics And Penns Grove To
Play Championship Series

The basket ball league season came
to a close this week with Warren
Smiths Penns Grove five in first
place after winning two straight
games from the strong Laboratory
team. The first half of the season,
which ended December 29th, was won
by the Mechanics, who had the record
of eight games won and n game
lost. A -post-season series of three
games for championship between the
Mechanics and Penns Grove start this
Friday evening and will be continued
next Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Altho the Mechanics ended the second
half in the cellar, they are only three
games behind Penns Grove, which
shows how close was the run. But
last week the Mechanics administered
the biggest defeat of the season to
the Operators. So the championship
games will be strong contests.
