CHRISTMAS MORNING
THE MAGIC PILLOW

TIME serene, hushed silence of the
hospital was Of utmost contrast
to the turbulent, rushing, noisy.
sostling crowds elbowing their way
along the well-flled thoroughfare.
The comfortable, even temperature Of
the hospital contrasted singuIarly with
the clustering, crisp, wintry, typically
Christmas weather outside.
The silence Of this huge, white build
ing was broken now and then by the
soft though swift footballs OF three
or four busy young men. The pa
tsents In, the free ward who were well
enough, wondered what it all meant.
Two youths In particular were inter
ested in the coils Of wire and doings
of these men. They secretly hoped
that they might be up and busting
about, shortly, as these lads were. It
is not strange that two normal boys
would be interested Ia being UP and
busy with crisp Christmas air and
Inspirations floating about. A free
ward Is a bit dull.

Courts In Ocean
Are Is Years Old

The 18th anniversary of the opening
Of the Ocean county courts was OBJ
served Tuesday with brief ceremonies.
Supreme Court Justice Frank T..
Lloyd and County Judge Harry e.
Newman were on the bench. Court
Crier Frank s. Ellis opened court.
Justice Lloyd read a letter from the
secretary Of the Chamber of Conn
merce.
Ocean County was set apart from
Monmouth in 1850, bv an act of the
legislature of that year, and the first
court was held in December follow
ing the passage Of the act. The first
Judge Of the court was ley Judge
James Gulick. who served for one
year, when BENJAMIN L. Irons was
appointed. In 1896 the Office iof lay
judge was abolished and one law
Judge substituted. Justice Lloyd ex-
jplained lay judges and law judges,
saving in part that it seemed Fan
anomoly that in the courts Of the
state lay Judges should be permitted
to pass on points of law. But such
is the case. and only in county. courts
is it mandatory that law judges pr :
side. II presume the reason is that the
legislature belives that the natural eh-
thusiasn of the men learned in law,
should be tempered and balanced with
the trained business mind. he said.
The letter stated that the first pros
ecutor Of the pleas was Jehu Patter-
son. 1850-53. The first sheriff was JOS
eph Parker, 1850-53. The first county
clerk, John j. Irons, 1850, who was
succeeded the same year by William /.
James who served until 1860. The
first surrogate was David /. G. Rogers
with Thomas g. Harrison succeeding
him that year and serving until 1885.
Justice LLOYD commended the author of
the letter for his forethought and re-
search work, which he said must have
consumed considerable time. II am
sure none of us would have known this,
or at least thought Of it had it not
been brought to our attention In this
manner.
am going to issue an order that this
man write historical review Of the jul
dietary and court officials Of Ocean
county from 1850 to date, and that it
become an official part Of the court rec
ord Of this term.
1T is an important Work and IN fu-
ture years will save us much time
should ii ever become necessary to
look into these historical facts. 1t puts
in concrete form the facts, whereby it
can readily befound without too much
work.
The secretary who is reporter
in Toms River, accepted the
order from the court and announced he
would file the review with the clerk
within the next few days.
Justice Lloyd then delivered his
barge to the grand jury, which was
probably one Of the shortest charges
on record. He said, II am happy to
say to you that your labors will be
comparatively easy. Due to the clean
up which has been in prog
ress 10. the county. Crime and law
violations have been reduced to q min
imum. THERE'S nothing special to
call attention at this time. The pros
ecutor announces he is at your service
at all times. Both Judge Newman and
myself are at your call for any matters
YOU wish to- discuss with us, After
naming Charles Hecht Of Lakewood
as foreman Of the grand jury, the jurors
retired.

be the place where children can en-
JOY themselves in g healthy. hearty
way. Then they'll be content to-
enjoy themselves at home when they
are solder. When parents can In
sure this, they have thwarted many
Of the dangers that beset children
who get too far away from home In
f1uence.
Make your children's friends vel
come at your home. BY this you
have accomplished two things-you
have kept the children at home and
you have had chance to make
close acquaintance with their friends.
But only part Of child's time
is spent at home. Much of the rest
is spent. at school And here is a
word of advice to parents:
Know your children's teachers.
Remain In close contact with their
school work. It will pay. You can
not expect teacher to spend time
with each parent every day, Of
course, but there are organizations
that provide meeting ground for
parents and teachers and you should
take fullest advantage Of them
Showing IN interest in your chill
dren's school work is one sure way
to make chums OF them. 1t is a
habit that will continue after they
are grown. and you will never re-
greet the time so spent.
Furthermore, You can learn much
about the success or failure Of your
home discipline by learning about
your children's actions at school.
Thus we have the start OF our
program for preparing our children
for their freedom from home ties
and home influence that young peo-
pie boast. in spite of all parents that
may think they have tried to do to
stop 1t. 1t may be summed up as
follows:
Happy home life, close supervision
Of school work and companions, and
giving the children a fundamental
idea Of thinking and deciding for
themselves. knowing right from
wrong, and choosing of their own
volition the former in preference to
the latter.
