the owners of the cheap cars do
feel it.
Representative Beers of Pennsylva-
mia. said that he had made a personal
canvass and found out that invariably
the owners of small and cheap cars
favored the gasoline reciprocity bill,
and that this canvass had convinced
him that he voted wrong yesterday
in favoring the amendment to i'm
pose a personal property tax.
preventative Kent of Pennsyl-
vania also argued that the bill as
amended puts a burden on the small
business man who must use a cheap
automobile in his business.

WOOdStOWn Goes Down
Before High School
Willis Probably Lost For Season
With Injured Knee In
Second Game

Penns Grove High School continues
to keep up the standard set in the first
game of the football season by emerg-
ing victorious by at least three touch
downs and the heavy Woodstown
eleven was the second victim last Fri
day in a final score of 1870. The visi-
tors poor offense was their own
Waterloo for they made only three
first downs, two of which were on
fubles and only one thru the line
However, their defense was some
what better, but Coach Summerill's
ptotegees being well versed in all
lines of the game, were able to make
consistent gains around the ends.
1t appeared like an easy victory
when in the first period, after Penns
Grove had kicked to Woodstown, they
lost the ball Immediately; Penns
Grove taking it on downs and carry
touchdown. Price took it over on a
reverse play. On the drop kick Penns
Groves line did not hold and Willis
kick was blocked. In the first quarter
Penns Grove suffered 20 yards in pen
alties, but then Woodstown was again
held for downs. The quarter ended by
Woodstown ihtercepting a pass, Civ
ing them the ball.
The second quarter was a repetition
of the first as Woodstown could not
secure a first down, being continually
held and forced to kick. In this quar-
ter blow fell on Penns Grove which
is permanent injury to the team,
when Willis, who stars because of his
punting and drop-kicking, as well as
his wonderful offensive and defensive
work, suffered dislocated knee-cap
and torn hgar ents of the knee.
This happened as he was called back
on a trick play to carry the ball on
an end gun.
Altho feeling the loss of this steady
player, the team, not giving up at the
l'4oss of one man, went into the fray
with a determination that they would
not be denied and the entire team
went fighting on. Outstanding was
the work of Homan at centre, who
was a tower of strength on the de-
fense and several times went tearing
thru and and nailed his man for a
heavy loss. Boyd Smith and Jake
Dalbow, on opposite ends of line, also
did steady work on the defense by
their sure hard tackling.
In the third quarter, although Penns
Grove held the ball most of the time,
fumb1es and penalties prevented their
scoring. Kelly recovered two fumbled
kicks III this quarter, helping Penns
Grove to keep the ball and the quarter
ended with Penns Grove holding the
ball on the eight yard line. 1T took
three plays to carry the ball over and
Price was again employed on an end
run to take it over Since Willis was
out of the game, Martell undertook
20 kick the drop. but it was blocked,
After the kickoff Woodstovrl lest

LOWER PENNS NECK
TO HAVE NEW ROAD

The cinder road leading from Harr-
isonville towards the river to the
Finn's Point Light House and thence
back to the Salem-Penns Grove road
about mile below Pennsville is to be
rebuilt with state aid.
The Township will receive $500
as aid from the state and will appro-
pirate $4,000 itself for the recon-
struction.
This road had gradually been built
up by the township so that by spring
it was in excellent condition and suf-
ficient to handle the customary traffic
for many years. But the reconstruct
ion of the Salem-Penns Grove Road
below Pensville last summer threw
the traffic over this detour and ruined
it.
1t is believed that with careful man.
ipulation and conservative construct
ion that the township could recon-
struct this road with this appropriate
ion, but following the plans and spec
ification of the state engineers it is
believed that the final cost will far
exceed the $4,000, which additional
expense will have to be borne by the
township.
