RED CROSS IN
MEMBER DRIVE
Local Branch Now in Midst of
Annual Roll Call to Enlarge
Membership List.
PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION

The annual Red Cross Roll Call and
drive for new members started on
November 18th, Armistice Day, and
will continue until November 18th,
Thanksgiving Day. The members of
the Local Branch will endeavor this
year to include every person in Pleas
antville in the list OF Red Cross men,
bership. The President of the United
States, as President of the American
Red Cross, has issued a proclamation
to the people, calling upon them to
join the Red Cross, saying:
During the World War the volun-
teer effort of the American people TO
assist the Government in providing for
forces at home, on the seas, and over
seas, was expressed largely through
the American Red Cross, which also
rendered incalculable assistance to the
Armed forces of Jul associates in the
war and to their civilian populations
within the invaded areas during and
after the war.
1.-THE recent calamity which befell
Japan when millions of her people
suffered dire distress following the
earthquake has served to reveal to the
people of the nation the readiness of
the American Red Cross to apply the
generous gifts of our people to the
amelioration of human suffering. In
rendering assistance wherever duty
calls, the American Red Cross, in adj
dition to its work in foreign lands,
administers relief in times of disaster
in our own country, helps to solve the
problems of public health, is ever ac-
five in other rian n%roiectS
and above all renders welcome assist
ance to the government in the care of
our disabled veterans of the world
war"
In concluding his statement, the
President said it was a privilege to
our people to have membership in and
have a part in the work of this truly
American organization"

PIKE PROJECT
GAINS SUPPORT
100-Feet Wide Boulevard From
Camden to the Sea, via Wash
ington Ave. Coming Soon.
ASSOCIATION MAKES REPORT

Only a short time ago asproposition
was advanced for a pike from Camden
TO the Sea, which would run through
~Pleasantyille, via Washington Avenue,
to relieve traffic congestion on the
White Horse Pike. The new pike is
styled the Black Horse Pike. The
movement to have the State Highway
Commission look with favor on such a
road is gaining ground daily now.
The Atlantic City Hotelmen's Associ-
alton have favored it, as also have
the Board of F~reeholders, Atlantic
City Chamber of Commerce, Atlantic
City Commissioners, anu many other
organizations in Atlantic, Gloucester,
Cape May and Camden Counties.
The Black Horse Boulevard to The
Sea Association has been formed to
centralize the work of carrying
through the proposition and has made
the following report:
"The main purpose is to build a
connecting link between Camden and
Atlantic City TO relieve the over
crowded condition of existing high
ways,
Looking three years ahead. with
the opening of the Delaware river
bridge between Camden and Philadel-
phia, a group of men launched, about
a year ago, a project to construct a
great paved highway from the bridge
entrance on the Camden side to At
lantic City, ofllowing the line of the
Mount Ephraim pike, and extending
through Blackwood, Williamstown,
Mays Landing and P~leasantville.
This would afford an outlet for an
automobile traffic anticipated to ex-
coed that of any existing highway in
the country, and would be a saving in
distance between Camden and Allan
tic City of about Az miles.
GAS the existing highways are tax
ed at the present time capacity on
peak days, where the traffic coming
from Philadelphia is retarded by fer
ryboats, and is stretched out from 4
a. m. to the following midnight, there
will be an abnormal condition when
the bridge opens in 1926.
1.-THE proposal to construct this
great highway met with instant ap-
prevail. 1t has been given the indorse-
ment of every Give organization, and
the governing bodies of the three
counties through which it is proposed
TO pass"
Several Atlantic City and Ocean
City men are officers of this Associa.

incubation Method
Being Investigated
Success VIII Mean Saving of
Thousands of Dollars to
Local Poultrymen.

Harold R. Miller, of the local Voca-
tional Schools, is investigating a
method that is expected to stamp out
such chicken diseases as chicken pox,
roup and canker. Its success will
mean the saving of thousands Of dol
lars to farmers and poultrymen in
this and other sections OF the coun-
try.
AT the present time the method is
used 10 a small extent by poultrymen
in the Vineland and Toms River dist
ricts. which are noted for their chick
en- farms. Although several treat
ments have been used during the last
years in the form OF copsnercial med
icines, feeds and pedltry manage
ments. conditions remain almost the
same, and the attempts made to elm
mate the diseases have 20 far proved
impractical.
The new method consists OF inocu-
lation OF birds with avain bacterium.
This bacterium is made in a labora-
tory in Chicago. incubation is made
on pullets and young stock, which
have not contracted the disease. and
would succumb to former outbreaks
on the farms.
The bacterium is injected in birds
under the right wing for the first ap-
plication by means Of a hypodermic
needle. The second dose is given
three days later. This particular
treatment has proved successful in
the control of the diseases.
Results obtained in other sections
show the incubation practical and the
method will no doubt be the means of
saving a large percentage of loss. The
work is being done in the experiment
al line by vocational classes.
