New Reading Station
Chamber S Desire
Local Organization Preparing Pc
titions for Circulation Request
ing Officials to Provide Modern
Station.

At the meeting of the P~leasantville
Chamber of Commerce, held in the
Parish House of st. Marks Church,
last Wednesday evening, a movement
was started looking to the erection of
a modern station by the Reading Rail.
road. A committee was named to pro.
vide suitable petitions addressed to
the officials of the company, request
ing such action. The petitions will be
put in circulation this week and it is
anticipated that the idea will meet
with a ready response by the citizens
generally. There is no doubt that the
railroad should provide a more mod
ern structure for a city of the import
ance of Pleasantyille, and it is thought
that this method of bringing the mat
ter to the attention of the proper off.
Gals will prove most effective in &C
complishing this result.
Major Kimberling, of the State Pc
lice, gave a very excellent address on
the work of that body, which was
greatly enjoyed by the members in
attendance. Major ~Simberling spoke
in place of Colonel Schwarzkopf, who
was unable to be present.
During the evening, two beautiful
tenor solos were rendered by Prof
Selby, who is on a visit TO Atlantic
City, and recently returned from a
trip abroad. The selections were of a
high order, and won the applause =

dance at Lily Lake Park in the near
future. The large crowds usually at
tending these affairs will look forward
to this event with pleasure. The dan
ces heretofore sponsored by the
Chamber have always proven most
enjoyable and there is every reason
expect this one to be no exception.
A committee was named to arrange
for suitable representation for Pleas
antville in the coming Fall Pageant.
Harry Lovett, ST., was named to head
this committee. 1t will be the aim OF
the committee to improve upon last
years efforts. which was conceded the
best Pleasantville ever had put forth.
The luncheon, served by the ladies
of st. Margaret's Guild, wass all that
could have been desired.

by United Press Leased Wire
WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-
President Coolidge today wrote
Mrs. Samuel Gompers, widow of
the labor leader who died early
today, expressing his deep sym
pathy with her bereavement.
His letter follows:
my dear Mrs. Gompers:
''It is with great regret that I
have heard of your bereavement
and I want to express to you
my deep sympathy in your sor-
row. Mr.. Gompers' whole life
was devoted to the interests of
organized labor until his name
had become almost synonomous
with the cause which he repre-
sented. AS the founder and
head of great organization, no
man has had wider influence
in the shaping of the policy of
the wage earners of the nation
and his loss will long be felt by
his associates, not only at home
but abroad.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Calvin Coolidge.
