IMPROVEMENTS
TO POWER Line

Plans are being worked out by
The New Jersey Power 4 Light
Company to improve electric SER
vice in Lambertville and other New
Jersey communities by greatly in
creasing the transmission capacity
of the system. Besides the improve
ments already completed or in pro-
gress, engineers of the company are
contemplating construction of a new
line to provide auxiliary service in
this section, and also are consid-
ering the possibility of line con-
nection with the Philadelphia Subur-
ban system across the Delaware to
permit an interchange of current in
case of emergency.
Additional power has just been
made available to towns served by
The New Jersey Power & Light
Company as result of new con
nection with the far-reaching Penn
sylvania-New Jersey super power
system at Glendon, Pa, where a
large station was recently com
pleted. Power can now be transmit
ted to Lambertville, through the
Glendon sub-station, from the big
generating plants Mt Easton and
Reading with which il is connected
by high tension lines.
Transmission facilities of the sys-
tenn of The New Jersey Power &
Light Company also have been i'm
proved in the last few weeks by
completion of an important out
door sub station at the main Dover
generating station. This new sub
station, through which current is dis
patched to all parts of the system,
cost $4,000. A 5000 k. v. a. syn
chronous condenser costing $24,0
also was added to the transmission
equipment at Dover, where two gen
Grating units of $500 kilowatts each
are now back in operation after hav-
ing been entirely overhauled this
summer.
Most of the improvements made
or planned by The New Jersey Pow
err & Light Company are designed
to make current available to Lam
bertville and other places served
from several sources, so that if

SHORT MEETING FOR
CITY ERS

The Lambertville Board of Com
missioners had little business for at
tention at the weekly meeting Tues
day evening. A communication was
received from the manufacturers of
the fire hose which had not given
satisfaction. They asked that it be
returned to them for inspection.
A letter was received from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. about
paving the canal bridge with asphalt
to match the street paving. When
the bridge was finished last winter
it was considered too cold to use
asphalt, and temporary oil dress
ing was put over the crushed stone.
The warm weather mas caused this
to roll up, and the Commissioners
insist that permanent asphalt paw
ing be laid Immediately.

event it will be held Saturday even

ciety has held, and the officers and
members are making great prepar-
atoms for it.
While moralists are worrying over
the dwindling away of the rural Sum
day Schools, and lack of partici-
patton in church work by the young
folks, those connected with the Am
well Church are making history by
having one of the largest attend
ances in the county. People in the
neigbborhood, of all denominations,
participate in the activities of this

FORMER SCHOOL
HEAD IS DEAD

Alphonso B. Sellers, for quarter
of century principal of the New
Hope public schools, died at Chal-
font on Sunday, at the age of 81.
The funeral was held from his late
home on Wednesday. He had been
i'll for seven years past, but only
confined to the house for a short
time.
Mr.. Sellers retired from teaching
back in 1897, after having served in
the New Hope schools since 1872.
He was noted for his original meth
DDS of maintaining order in the
school room, at period when the
winter scholars were largely re-
cruited from the canal boat crews,
young men of the day whose love
for good sized scrap far exceeded
their thirst for knowledge of the
classics. "a. b." as he was known
to a generation of the youngsters
of that period was able to match
sinews against any of them.
Those who sought education of the
orthodox kind received it in fullest
measure from this old-time school
master, who had much ability, and
delighted in the after success of his
one-time pupils. But woe surely sat
on the heads Tor other parts of the
anatomies) of the heads of those
who journeyed cup the hill" for the
anticipated pleasure of licking the
schoolmaster--a trick that was of
ten attempted in other schools than
New Hopes in those days.
Recently, on Mr.. Sellers eighty
first birthday, many of his old time
pupils journeyed to Chalfont. and
gave him surprise party, which
afforded him great pleasure.

or Harold Peat, as he was christ
ened, is young Canadian who has
seen all the glamour and all the
horrors of war, and "The mex

not believe in warfare as means
of adjusting differences between na-
tons, but points TO more sane and
feasible methods of settling trying
situations and insuring permanent
peace.
Private Peat has toured the world
on his lecture trips, and he empha-
sizes the need of educating children
to peace lines. The child's play
things, his books, and other enter

TO THE BOYS OF
LAMBERTvILLE

Boys; The LambertvilIe Rotar-
ians wonder If you realize what a
rood education will mean to your
life's success.
You know that the chap who ser
yes best, and so is worth the most,
is the one who is best trained ard
knows the most This Is true in
both games and work. The lead
ers of every line of work today are
the trained and educated men-the
men who "know."
Now is your only chanc to get
an education.
If you do not go to school now
there is not one chance in thou
sand that you will ever go. Listen
to those who have had an education
They are best able to Judge its
worth.
There was never a greater demand
for high school graduates than at
present.
Many hrms now expect ana de-
mand high school education for
their employees.
DO not quit because you have
failed in one or more subjects. The
sensible thing is to take the subject
over again. It may be the thing that
will do you most good.
Just now the future lies before
you. Just now you are master Of
your own fate in regard to going to
high school. If you fail to grasp this
opportunity now, wailing ten years
from now will not avail. Regrets
for neglected opportunities do not
pay cash dividends. Urge your father
and mother to give you boost
toward better preparation Tor life.

Pittstown Has aBobbitiso

1t took the bobbed-hair craze a
long while to reach Pittstown, at
least among the married women. but
when it did it took the town by
storm. Until about a month ago
there wasn't a married women in
the town with bobbed hair. Then one,
more courageous than the rest, broke
the ice and last week seven more
went to the barber shop within two
days. Instances have been cited
where love has gone out through
the window but in some of the local
cases, love has apparently left
through the barber shop. Family
life will never be the same in these
homes again. The men are now grow
ing whiskers.

WINNERS AT THE
SOLEBURYPICNIC

The Solebury Community Picnic
held last Friday at Friends Meeting
House was not as largely attended
as in previous years. The reason as
signed for this is that heretofore
it has been held on Saturdays, and
fewer people are at liberty on Fri
day. The contributions received in
the box provided for that purpose
barely paid for the ice cream and
coffee served free by the Committee.
The day was ideal for the picnic.
The field meet was keenly en-
ioyed. In the baseball game the
single men defeated the married men
by score of 7-3. A feature of the
game was a home run by Jack Lear
for the married men. He was for
merly a star on the single mems
team. The batteries were, for the
married membranes Fitting,
catcher; Jack Lear, pitcher. For the
single men, Read Funk, pitcher; Eu-
