. NEXT SUNDAY EASTER
Despite Full Moon

Next Sunday will be Easter, the
event falling this day on April /.
Strange to say, there is a full moon
IN that day, which the Episcopal Book
Rule says can never happen.
This apparent contradiction is due
to the fact that the prayer book omits
to mention that the moon that decides
Easter Sunday is not the moor of the

called the ecclesiastical Moon. the uni
form movements of which are regu-
lated by a set Of tables. The deciding
phase Of this artificial moon happens.
according to the tables, this year on
March 81, and because of this Easter
Sunday falls on April l, in spite of the
real moo being full on the same dav.
The tabular moon, being full on the
same day all over the world. insures
a simultaneous observance of Easter

dar is used whereas, if the full phase

For \ New Penns Neck Bridge

At the monthly meeting Of the Sa-
lem Chamber of Commerce, Wednes-
day evening. there was a spirited dis
c@ussion on the project Of a new Penns
Neck bridge over Salem river. The
Salem members of the Board of Free
holders were severely criticised for not
being more active for this improve
ment. 1t is claimed that the reason
for not replacing the old and danger
Gus bridge with a new one is that the
county has no money, but it is con
tended that when the Board of Free
holders told the new Board of State
Highway Commissioners that the
county had no permanent bonded in
~debtedness it showed that they were
i'm good shape to 90 ahead with this
improvement. A special committee
was appointed to make a campaign
for the bridge.
According to Charles Campbell, the
bridge contractor, who spoke at the
Chamber of Commerce luncheon on
Tuesday, a new Penns Neck bridge
over Salem river. to accommodate the
heavy truck loads and the trolley and
provided with a lift span, would cost
approximately 100000. The piers
under some sections of the old bridge
would bear the weight of the wider
bridge. He said that the Chamber of
Commerce and all other parties along
the line should support the trolley
company because it would be sadly
missed if it was abandoned. Railroads
of every character build up communi-
ties and it is high time that the cars of
the Salem-Penns Grove Traction Com
pany ran direct to Salem without the
long walk over the bridge.
The work of r~emodelling the Hart
foundry, on Hubbell Avenue recently
bought by the J. B. Campbell Com
pany, Inc, will begin at once. The
machinery for one to manufacture
floor coverings is now being prepared
and will be ready for operation about
July 1st. 1t is expected that about
fifty hands will be employed at the
start.
Tn the matter of a boat line between
Salem and Wilmington's new port, a
committee ON water transportation
was appointed to act in conjunction
the Marine Terminal Bureau of
the Wilmington Board of Harbor
Commissioners.
