NORTH MAIN STREET
PAVING IN NEW HOPE

Good progress is being made on
the paving of North Main street
New Hope, under The direction of
the State Highway Department of
Pennsylvania.
The grading has beeu completed
from Bridge street north to the
borough limits, and stone is being
placed on the sub grade preparatory
to the asphaltic treatment.
The borough officials arranged
with Alfred N. Kerr to set his
hedge back a few feet ut the cor
ner at Delaware Grove, and this
makes much easier curve--and
both more beautiful to the eye and
safer to travel around.
The pavement will be continued
to the Union Mill rs soon as it is
finished north of Bridge street, and
between Bridge street and the ca
nal bridge.
All traffic is kept off the street
during construction, and this plan
will be followed all through. Con-
siderable difficulty has been ex-
perienced on North Main street,
because some autoists insisted on
going through. One of them at
tempted to run over the Waterman
Monday but his license number
was taken, and he will be dealt
with by the state authorities later
on.
This work will cost about $4,000
of which the borough will pay 10
per cent, or less than $4,000 for a
first-class street more than one and
a half miles long.

The social event of the week was
a surprise party givoa TO Andrew
Clarity Wednesday evening at the
home of Mrs. Kate Cobleigh on
Goat Hill. The nostesseg were the
Misses Smithwick, Della Welsh and
Bertha Stark.
The occasion was Andy's twenty
second birthday and he received
many useful gifts. To say that
games were played and refresh
ments served is only to scratch the
surface of all that happened. Bill"
Murray almost took the high diving
championship away from Gus
Kelly Several who started out
got lost by the wayside and several
more found the way back bit
heavy after the storm. Chester
Balinski and Ralph McKeague
stopped at chicken coop on the
way up and almost upset. A list
of the invited guests cannot be
obtained-at least not by your re-
porter. Careful sleuthing reveals
that at least the following were
there: Mrs Florence Narducci,
Misses Alice Moser, Lucy Moser,
Margaret Cobleigh, Madelain and
Marion Smithwick, Della Welsh, and
Bertha Stark; Messrs. Chester Ba-
linski, Bill Murray, A. J. Kelly,

percentage for the previous week
dropped points. We have still
entirely too much bad making, but
in one particular department, the
Light Gum Making, we notice
such a decided Improvement that we
feel like hugging all the girls out
there. The quality banner still
remains in Mr. Sims department
and is now considered perman-
ent fixture by the bootmakers. The

Dir. Harry Duncan, Junior sur
geen at the Samaritan Hospital,
Philadelphia, was one of the first
contributors in the recent drive by
that institution to provide larger
and more modern quarters. He
was the first physician connected
with that institution to make a
contribution. and to the surprise of
all, his contribution was for $1,000.
And vet DR.. Duncan is not a
wealthy man.
This incident was impaired to us
by brother physician of DR., Dun
can, and he does not know that we
are paying him this tribute for his
unscltishness in assisting in the
development of Samaritan Hospital.
As physician, he realized, per-
haps better than anyone else, how
vital is the need for modern hos
pitali2ation And when he had
made his contribution, the other
doctors of the staff were quick to
TALL into line with their own con-
tributions,
And we are sure that such men
as Doctor Duncan would readily
agree TO assist in surgical opera
tions in Lambertville hospital
when it is established. His readiness
to contribute to the Samaritan
fund indicates that he is in SYM
pathy with any movement that
works toward the saving of life
and health

vile Pa, has benefited in just
this way by the cooperation of

surgeons in Philadelphia hospitals
who have gone there when needed
for major surgical operations.
Grand View began in a very small
way in two-story dwelling sew
eral years ago. At first the local
doctors were not qualified to per-
form major operations, but the
quick response of Philadelphia sur
geons enabled the hospital to secure
the best of specialists. In this
way the Grand View doctors, by
assisting these surgeons, were fin
ally able to perform their own
operations
DR.. Herman c. Grim, of Sellers
vile, has developed broader field
OF practice because of his assistance
with operations at the hands of
Philadelphia surgeons. When he
had patients at Grand View who
were in need of major operations,
he secured the services of these
surgeons, and by assisting them,
his knowledge of surgery was
broadened until he is now able to
perform most of his operations.
Lambertville was left fund in
the will of Edgar II. Phillips four
years ago that was lately reported
to be about $122,000. One of the
objections raised to the immediate
use of this fund for a hospital is
that it is not sufficient to endow
a hospital and secure high grade
specialists. But il will be found
that n hospital here would secure
the same cooperation that has
been accorded to similar institutions
at other places.
