MISSING NEW HOPE GIRL
FOUND IN PHILADELPHIA

The city papers have been devot-
ing a great deal of space the past
week or so to Anna Patterson, a
l5-year old New Hope girl, who dis
appeared New Years Day, and was
finally found at $3.50 Page Street

Her father, Ralph Patterson, To-
Gated her by ruse after she called
him up on the telephone. She had
been missing about eight or nine
days.
Patterson is quoted as saying that
his daughter told him that "On New
Years Day the people with whom
she was boarding told her to get
out, SO she and Fred Moore, twenty
two years old, whom she had known
in Philadelphia, went with her to
that city. They went to the home
of his sister, and had been there
until she made the telephone call.

CHRISTMAS SEAL REPORT

The results of the sale of Christ
mas seals this year was very graft
flying. Lambertville's quota was five
times the number of seals sold in
any previous year, or ten per capita
Although the seals did not quite
reach this goal, the result of 81 per
capita sold shows a decided increase
of interest in the work of tuber-
culosis prevention among the peo-
pie of Lambertville.
The major portion of the credit
for this remarkable increase in sales
is due to the pupils of the public
schools under the able leadership OF
Miss Beatrice M. Petrie. OF the
total of 29,752 seals disposed of here
22,9l6 were sold by the school child
rem. At the beginning of the drive
prize was offered to the high school
student selling the greatest number
Of seals. This reward, trip to the
Penn Relay Races, in the Spring,
was won by Bernard Reilly, of the
Freshman Class who sold 400 seals

IN SUPPORT OF BOK'S PEACE
PLAN

Editor of Lambertville Record:
Permit me to register an objection
to your editorial published last week
regarding the proposed peace plan.
Offering of such a large prize may
have been unwise, but if it secures
the result, 100000 will be very
small amount.
AS to the proposal being propa-
ganda, | have no doubt it was in
tended as such to fix the minds of
men and women oh that most i'm
portant of civil and national condi-
tions-Peace.
As to secrecy with regard to
name of proposer, ! can see no pos
sible objection.
As to your reference to the League
of Nations, you seem to forget that
American participation in the League
of Nations would have been an ac-
complished fact. by an overwhelming
majority, if there had not been a
HiS PD9itlVl VII btit oAuS w iiSloi tItl
the proposal be accepted word for
word and letter for letter, and on
the other hand, apparently some Of
the objection was for political eff
feet; while the truth probably laid
between, and with reservations,
might have been a great blessing to
the world
Personally, | would have been glad
to see an Association of Nations,
called the League or whatever you
may, without any condition binding
mutual support by means of force.
1t is recognized fact that if men
will get together and talk things
over before going to law, or nations
will talk them over before going to
war, the result tends for peace.
As to the plan proposed it appears
to me an effort to bring about con-
ditions that will be helpful in arriv-
ing at settlements without disputes,
and while | am not urging anyone
to vote in favor of the proposed
plan, do not hesitate to urge all
to give it thoughtful-even prayerful
Consideration, and if it seems
best, to vote accordingly.

GOOD ROADS INFLUENCE
SEEN IN MOTOR VALUES
Better Highways Have Produced
Better Cars.

A statistical summary of the vari-
Gus values possible to obtain today
by the expenditure Of dollar as
compared with ten years ago has
been made by the National Automo-
bile Chamber Of Comerce This
chart shows an increase in value
for both cars and tires, as opposed
to a great decrease in value of such
commodities as clothing, shoes, food,
furiture, and house furnishings,
buildings, crops, and live stock, and
such intangibles as the cost of living
and rents.
According to this summary, dol
lar in 1913 purchased dollars
worth of motor car; in 1928 it pur-
chased Sill worth of motor car,
whereas the dollar which bought
dollars worth Of food in 1913 today
buys 68.5 cents worth of food.
A dollars worth of tires in 1913
cost dollar For the same dollar
in 1928 one buys $1.23 worth of
tires, whereas the dollar spent for
clothes in 1913 will buy today but
51.8 cents worth of suit or overcoat.
1t is not a matter of argument
that one of the great factors which
have raised the relative value of
motors per dollar expended, is the
large increase in good highways.
These have been predetermining
cause in the purchase of large
amount of motor vehicles, and it is
quantity production which has low
cred the cost or increased the value,
as you please, of the 1913 dollar
unit" of value.
The statistics are based on reports
from such authorities as the Nation
al Industrial Conference Board, the
U. S. Bureau Of Labor Statistics, the
Cleveland Trust Company, the De-
partment Of Agriculture, and the
Federal Reserve Board,

clever newspaperman made careful
investigation of the individual views
of each member of the jury which
was to make the award and then
submitted a plan in accordance with
those views, so that he was certain
of practically unanimous vote.
Now there is another $4,000 to be
awarded the proposer if the plan
meets with popular approval. AS
those who favor the league of ma
tons are pretty certain to vote for
it, and as those who oppose the
league are equally certain not to
bother to vote it is confidently ex-
pected that of the votes received
the majority will be overwhelmingly
for the league, and thus the clever
contestant will be able to bank the
remainder of Mr.. Bok's big purse.
But those who labored to suggest
something original, and such as
expected something really practical
and beneficial to result from Mr..
Bok's offer are sorely disappointed.

RINGOES WILL GET FIRE
ENGINE OF IT'S OWN

The village of Ringoes has made
arrangements to purchase the chem
ical engine from the Columbia Fire
Company, of Lambertville, when the
new apparatus the local firemen
have ordered arrives.
Ringoes will get its engine from
the Lambertville company some time
within the next month or so. 1t will
afford protection to a community
now practically without any pro-
lection.
Several Bucks County villages are
either getting new apparatus for the
first time, or increasing their old
equipment, too, but they have one
advantage over the Hunterdon
County farming section, in being
thoroughly covered by telephone SER
vice.

BOX PEACE PLAN
PROVES "A FLIVVER"
Washington Correspondent Makes Pithy Com
ment on the Stuffed Bird of Peace

A special Washington correspond
ent who is closely in touch with ma
tional affairs, has submitted the
following comment to the news
papers. 1t is pithy and truthful.
If you have not read the Box Peace
Plan, refer to our isue of January
II, and also to the editorial in the
same issue.
To those who sincerely hoped for
a worthwhile plan of peace, this Box
fiivver has proved a bitter disap-
pointment. But the disappointment
is somewhat alleviated by the laugh
that went up all over the nation
when the ludicrous side of the plan
was seen. The Washington cor
respondents comment follows:
Apparently the Box peace plan
has proved a flivver. The winner
of the $4,000 prize merely proposes
a slightly modified league of nations,
which the American people will not
consider. There is strong sus-
picion in Washington that some

new ROAD BILL
FOR HUNTERDON
BILL ASKS FOR NEW
HUNTERDON HIGHWAY

| As chairman of the Non-Partisan
Highway Committee, appointed by
the Board of Chosen Freeholders
of Hunterdon County, | have drafted
new bill providing for North and
South highway through Hunterdon
County, running from Trenton to
Buttzville, by way of Pennington,
Ringoes, Pennington, Clinton, Glen
Gardner, Hampton, and Washington,
to Buttzville, with spur from the
Delaware River Bridge at Lambert
vile, to Ringoes, and a spur from
Pennington to Whitehouse, connect
ing with Road No. 8. This highway
connects the county seats of Mercer,
Somerset and Warren with Hunter
don County, and provides state
road between New York and Phil
adelphia by way of Lambertville and
Whitehouse. Furthermore, it con-
meets important State institutions
and three East and West highways,
os. 5, IL and with the State
Capitol at Trenton.
| It's Importance to Hunterdon
County can scarcely be over-stated.
1t would mean eventually approx
mately forty-five miles of concrete
road costing about two and one
quarter million of dollars built at
State expense, and would relieve the
taxpayers of thirty~three miles of
its existing macadam roads, so that
its funds would be available for the
proper maintenance of the remain
ing twenty miles of county
roads and possibly township roads.
1t would also mean the construction
of new concrete road between
Pennington and Clinton. There lie
no project of such Importance to the
people of Hunterdon County, and
whether they live along the proposed
route or not the indirect benefits
would be enormous.
: Last year the bill providing for
) the highway in Hunterdon County
! was passed by the Legislature but
was vetoed by the Governor and was
, not among the dozen or more passed
over the Governors veto. Three
: hundred miles of highways were adj
ded to the state system by these bills
and unless the people of Hunterdon
County are alive to the situation,
all available state funds will be
pledged to roads in other parts of
the State. Millions of dollars are
being spent in the state for new
highways, and Hunterdon should
have its share. 1t can only receive
certain kinds of aid for roads that
are included in the State Highway
System. The State Highway Com
mission has indicated that it looks
with favor upon the proposed road
through Hunterdon County.
Senator Agans introduced the bill
on the opening night of the Legisla-
ture and il is known as Senate Bill
No. d. Every person who has any
acquaintance and influence with any
member Of the Legislature should
do his or her utmost to have the
bill passed.

Non-Partisan Highway Committee.

Does history record any Institu-

Iallying himself with it and attend

should not everybody, and that in
cludes you, attend some church at
