Veterans to Erect
Community Tree

New Hope Members of the Edgar
II. benson Post of the American
Legion are to erect large commun-
ity Christmas tree at the monument
and cannon on Main street. As far
as can be ascertained this is the
first time this has been done in the
history of the borough.
The practice of erecting commun-
ity Christmas trees is the survival
of an old English custom that adds
much to the holiday spirit. Those
who have been in Boston during
Christmas will remember the mag
niticent trees erected every Christ
mas on the Common there. This
custom has been observed there
since the first Christmas of the
settlement of the city. New Hope
veterans are to be congratulated on
reviving this charming custom.
The members of the Post are to
make merry ut masque ball in
Worthington Hall on New Years
Eve. There will be grand march
at 1890, and prizes will be awarded
for the best and funniest costumes.
Every social event staged by benson
Post has been successful, and this
one promises to surpass all others.

BOY CRUSHED TO DEATH BY
TRUCK ON NORTH UNION STREET

Nicholas MARITIME, IL years old, of
the Stockton Road, was crushed to
death under the wheels of the Lam
bertville Rubber Company's big box
truck, on North Union street, near
York, Wednesday afternoon.
Russell Duckworth, who lives in
New Hope, was driving the truck
with load of cases to the canning
factory about 4 o'clock. As he
passed along Union street young
MARITIME. in the course of boys
game with his brother, leaped out
from the curb and fell directly in
the path of the approaching ma
chine. Tho Duckworth was able to
stop the truck before the wheels had
passed entirely over the body, the
youngster was instantly killed.
The boys body was removed to
Moonan's undertaking establishment,
and his small brother, who was a
witness of the tragedy, was taken
to his home by Thomas F. Kilroy.
The State Police shortly appeared
on the scene and took Duckworth
into custody, bringing him back to
the factory. In Mr.. Bommer's Of

Flemingf0n Wants
Three Bridges Road

The business people Of Pennington
are trying 10 secure an improved
road from that borough to Three
Bridges, about three miles East,
from which opint har roads extend
to Centerville, Neshanic and Somer-
vile.
People in this end Of the county
have long wondered that such a
road has not been built before this,
as it is badly needed. A highly de-
veloped country lies East Of Elem
ington, but the most charitable thing
that can be said about the roads is
they are roads!
The latest movement proposes an
entirely new highway from Darts
Mills eastward to the existing high
ways, as being the shortest to build
and free from expensive bridges or
other unusual construction
Motorists generally, however, pre-
fer the beautiful scenery along the
South Branch of the Raritan River
extending from a point East OF
Pennington to Three Bridges anc

BETTER SIGNBOARDS ASKED
BY BUCKS FOUNTAINS

The members of the Bucks County
Chamber of Commerce are after bet
ter signboards, and have adopted
the following resolutions in relation
thereto
Whereas, The attention of the
Bucks County Chamber of Commerce
has been called to the deplorable
condition, or total absence, of sign
boards, in many parts of the county,
and
Whereas, Strangers and travellers
are greatly Inconvenience and han
dicapped by the failure of supervis-
| ors and town councils to do THEN
duty of maintaining such direction
and distance signs,
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That
this body go on record MS calling
attention to the urgent need for
remedying this unfortunate stu
alton, calling upon local officers and
civic bodies to see that proper signs
are erected as early as possible, and
of such type as will meet the de-
mands of modern travel.

flee, as they questioned him concern
ing the accident, he broke down
completely. He was released against
his appearance in Pennington on
Thursday morning, on bail of
81 900, which was furnished by the
rubber company.
Young MARITIME was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Vito MARITIME, who re-
side at Ireland's quarry, on the
Stockton road. He was pupil at
st. Johns Parochial School, and
walked back and forth from his
home daily. He was returning to
his home when he met his death.
The rubber company's officials
state that Duckworth came to the
company several months ago with
high recommendations. He was a
truck driver of long experience and
has the reputation of being extreme
ly careful. Since being in the employ
of the rubber company his work is
reported to have been highly salts
factory, and II appears to be the
universal testimony of eye-witneIses,
including the boys brother, that he
was not in any way to be blamed
for the fatal accident.

More Telephones
For FIemingt0nians

The New Jersey Telephone Com
pany, a Bell subsidiary, is installing
number of new telephones in the
borough of Pennington, after long
fight to secure additional service.
Considerable objection has arisen
over the company's demand for s.
year contract before the phone is
installed, many hesitating to tie
themselves up for so long time.
Direct lines are being placed at
many points where offices were
formerly on party wires.
The New Jersey Telephone Com
pany, or formerly the Lebanon Tele-
phone Company, covers nearly all
he upper part of Hunterdon County
Additional wires between Lambert
vile and Pennington would be well
coined by local people.

SNOWSTORM TOPS HOTTEST DAY
in DECEMBER NOTED SINCE 1889

The folks who feared we might 90
through the winter of 1923-24 with
out even a whitening touch of snow
are respectfully referred to the To-
cal weather reports from Los An
geles, Phoenix, Arizona, and ,inciden-
tally Lambertville and New Hope.
The twin towns on the Delaware
haven't any movie scandals nor
hundred dollar day hotels to link
them with Los Angeles or Palm
Beach, but they have been enjoying
the same kind of weather.
This mornings fleeey wilderness
made folks think of the California
weather, where freezing tempera-
lures have been holding sway the
past week; and yesterday was but a
few degrees colder than Palm Beach,
and several degrees warmer than
the usually hot Pacific Coast.
Nothing like yesterdays weather
has been noted since December Is,
1889, when it was three degrees
colder. That was the beginning of
the famous warm winter, in this
section of the country, when dande-
lions bloomed all winter, and Flo1i-
da-ites began moving back North.
The prophets seem to think that
this will be repetition of the'S9-90
winter. That Christmas Day the
housewives in this section of the
country basted the turkey with one
hand and welded a fan with the

other. People were sometimes over
come by the heat that winter while
working in the winter clothes of that
period.
Comparisons are said to be odious,
but it should be remembered that
but few people of that day gave any
thanks for the saving in coal, due
to the warmth. Clothing in those
days weighed half a hundred pounds
per pGson, and the man who swell
tered around in three suits of flan-
mel underwear, suit of clothes, a
sweater, two vests, an overcoat and
a ten-yard knit scarf wound six or
eight laps deep around the whisker
line, had enough trouble keeping
cool, without tropical weather fall
ing upon his head. Coal, however,
sold around s2,75 to 81 a ton-for
the hand polished, karat-weighed
stuff.
These days, with men wearing
bvd's and Palm Beach suits about
as heavy as the old fashioned cotton
fly screening, and coal substitutes
costing more than gold used to,
warm winter will be most thankfully
received.
Twenty-Five years ago, in 1898,
the hack pountrv roads wara inst
being opened up from the Saturday
after Thanksgiving snow. Some of
the very old inhabitants may remem-
Der this.

BILL BOARDS AND SIGNS
running HIGHWAY VIEWS


The Bucks County Chamber of
Commerce is also after the folks
who are destroying the views from
the public highways by the erection
of huge billboards throughout the
countryside. They have adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas, Billboard and advertising
companies have begun the erection
Of huge advertising signs on lots and
fields along our main highways in
towns and rural communities of the
county, cheapening them, interfering
with the views of the beautiful
scenery visitors came to see, dan
gerously obstructing motorists
views of the roads, lessening the
value of real estate and making
streets and roads mere advertising
highways,
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That
the Bucks County Chamber of Com
merce put itself on record as being
unalterably opposed to this prac-
tice, and that it cooperate in every
possible way with community organ
izations which will oppose this rapid
ly growing movement.
And be it Further Resolved, That
we call upon all good citizens who
have the beauty and welfare of then
communities at heart to show their
civic pride by using every means in
their power to urge and assist Their
borough councils, civic organiza-
tions. farmers clubs, oranges and
newspapers to oppose this bill board
outrage.
