Mayor Jackson
Again Candidate
Popular Executive Yields to De-
sires of Public and Will Again
Head Local Ticket.

Mayor Charles E. Jackson, who has
served one term as the chief executive
of P1~easantville. after having declined
on several occasions to again be a
candidate for the office, has at last
yielded to public pressure, and viii
head the Republican ticket in the com
ing election. After a week of confer
ences among the leaders of the City.
during which time petitions placing
the Mayor in nomination were being
circulated, the executive finally has
given his consent to be the standard
bearer of his party. The petitions
placing him in nomination contained
the names of some of the leading citi
zens of the city, both in business and
in politics. and included persons from
every walk of life.
Probably no Mayor of Pleasantville
has yer enjoyed the confidence of the
public to a greater degree than Chas.
E. Jackson. OF an affable nature, yet
exacting to a degree, the Mayor has
conscientiously labored during the past
two years to give the City an able ad-
ministration. He has devoted much
of his time and energies to his duties.
He has displayed a great amount OF
courage in dealing with all public
problems. Once his mind has been
made up. he acts, and no amount of
pressure can change his siews If he
believes he is right. This quality has
won for him the admiration of the
populace. and has made his name IA
miliar outside the bounds of his own
municipality.
The -Pleasantville Press congratu
the Mayor upon his decision and
predicts an overwhelming vote of con-
fdence in the coming November cleo

Kiwanians To Send
Scouts To Camp
So Decided at Meeting Tuesday,
Transportation to Be Provided
For Them.

Speaking before the Pleasantville
Kiwanis Club at its regular weekly
luncheon in Junior Order Hall last
Tuesday. Mr.. H. A. Kimber, represent
ing the Dempsey Furnace Co, of New
York, told the members of that organ
ization that his company was consid-
erfng the erection of a plant for the
manufacture and assembling of oil
burners for furnaces in this city. Mr..
Kimber prefaced his remarks with a
burning device over coal for heating
and commercial purposes. His re-
marks throughout were of a very in
teresting and instructive nature. He
drew comparisons of costs of the two
methods of heating, showing the saw
ing in the oil method over coal, to say
nothing of the elimination of the dirt
and ash nuisance experienced in the
burning of coal. The Kiwanians fol-
lowed closely the remarks of the
speaker.
The president, DR.. w. J. Hudson,
told the members that the committee
recently appointed to go into the Boy
Scout movement with the idea of lend
ing a helping hand to the boys, had
completed arrangements to have sew
eral boys sem to the camp at
Schwenksville, Pa, if suitable trans
portation would be provided by the
members. While no definite plans
were madesfor the transportation. it is
believed sufficient members will come
forward with offers of cars to take
care Of the situation.
The Club voted for the continuance
of the New Jersey Kiwanian, a publi-
cation devoted to the interests of the
Clubs in New Jersey. This will add
an assessment of rs cents per year on
each member for subscription to the
magazine, which is published monthly.
