six pennies behind a counter OF

they carried Mrs. Kalinsky, hys'

MT. MISERY RESIDENTS

5.-Residents of Mount Misery, a
nearby town, will petition postal
authorities for permission to change
the name Of their village to Mount
Bard, in honor of the Frenchman
who founded the settlement in 1920.
The present name, the petitioners
say, is barrier to progress, despite
the fact that it figures in much
romantic history Of the Jersey
pines.
Other. residents who want to see
the old pine belt names preserved
fear the Mount Misery movement
may lead to similar requests from
