POISON SCARE HAS POSTAL
EMPLOYEE ON THE JUMP
Entrance Made via General Delivery
Window By One OF Clerks

Many of Russell Hollands friend.
have wondered why he has been Sc
distant the past week and Banner
reporter has been able to solve the
mystery.
1t appears that Howard Perkins
of Charleston, has developed a BAG
case of mercury poison and as he is
an employee of the rural free de-
livery, of this city, naturally he has
to enter the post office. Holland is
also an employee of the local office
and someone told him that the poi.
son was contagious. Russell had nc
reason whatsoever to disbelieve this
report and Immediately went to a
doctor who helped the cause along
and also told him that it was the
bad disease to come in contact with.
Holland immediately took the mat
ter up with Postmaster David Rod
man and suggested that all the
clerks go to a doctor before they
were afflicted with the deadly poi
son, and also suggested that the Of
fee be fumigated.
Rodman stated that he would take
the matter up and he called the
doctor who notified him that the
poison, while a painful one was not
contagious. This, however, did not
satisfy Holland and he insisted upon
climbing in the general delivery
window instead of the door route,
saying that he could catch the di-
sease from the door knob and was
still loud in acclaiming that the Of
fee be fumigated.
Postmaster Rodman soon saw way
to cope with the situation and while
Holland was home to lunch on We'd
nesday, he borrowed a spray pump
from local grocery store, which is
used to exterminate flies and spray
ed the post office with the fly
liquid.
Holland returned and his nostrils
soon caught the smell of disinfectants
and he was assured that the Govern
ment doctor from Merchantville had
been at Beverly and fumigated the
office. After this information was
given out Holland grasped the door
knob and walked into the mailing de-
partment, no more afraid. Sunny
how little harmless jesting will
overcome things.

HOPE HOSE FIRE HOUSE TO
BE UTILIZED AS SCHOOL

The crowded conditions of the
Beverly Public School warrant the
necessity Of transferring of some Of
the pupils from the fifth and sixth
grades to another location and the
Hope Hose Fire House, which was re-
Gently built, has been generously Of
fered by the trustees for this ac-
comodation.
The acceptance by the Board of
Education is assured and it is
thought that this action villa help to
rush the plans for the new school
building which is now being held up
by the City Council pending an in
vestigation on the proposed location.

TOMMY BoYLAN' SCORED AN
OTHER VICTORY LAST WEEK

Gisto Gaberstieno or Tommy Boy
Ian, as he is known in the squared
circle added another victory to his
fast growing list on Friday night
last when he was given the decision
over Johnny Ricco at the Public
Service BAH Park at Camden.
Boylan had been playing with the
Globe ACCORDION Band, of this city,
which participated in the Atlantic
City Pageant the same day and was
somewhat tired from the tramp of
five miles over the boardwalk.
Nevertheless he started out in
whirlwind fashion which he con
tinued for six fast rounds although
Boylan's followers could easily see
that he was not fighting in his old
style.
Boylan was given every round
with the exception of the fourth
which was even. The Beverly lad has
a record of never being knocked out
and his style of fighting has caught
the eye of several fight promoters
who are anxious to attach him to
their staff. A very good offer has
been made the scrapper but as yet
he has not accepted.

ALLEGED PASTOR CHARGED
WITH LIQUOR VIOLATION

When officers Unexpectedly enter
ed the residence of Rev. John Black,
same color as his name, 128 East
Delaware avenue, Burlington, Satur-
day night on liquor raid, they
found a dance and poker game in
full swing, instead of a church sup
per as had been anticipated. The
alleged clergyman sought permission
from Chief of Police Wilson John
son earlier in the week, to hold a
supper at the parsonage, for the
benefit of the church.
CONSERVATION reigned among the
25 guests when the officers surround
ed the house and some of the color
ed men and women made frantic eff
forts to escape. The dancing of the
Charleston" suddenly ceased and
poker chips and cards were swept
from sight.
The raid revealed two small bot
ties of whiskey and four large empty
jars that had contained liquor. The
reverend gentleman is charged with
illegal possession of liquor and Mrs.
Black is held for selling rum. They
are slated for hearing before
United States Commissioner Clifford
Powell, of Mount Holly.

COMMUNICATIONS
To the Editor q THE Banner"

To the Editor o. The Banner"
Dear Sir: !
have read with considerable in
terest the item in last weeks Ban
nerp concerning statement which
you claim member of the w. C. T.
u. made to the affect that conditions
were not as bad in bootlegging cir
cles as they were thought"
1t hardly seems possible that such
statement would come from a
member of our Organization. If the
statement was made, evidently the
party involved has not been attend
ing any of our meetings or they
would have known differently, as the
local chapter has realized condi-
tions in this city for a long time and
ere using every possible method to
see that the law Is enforced.

COUNTY FIRENEN
MEET AT MARLTON
Plans Discussed For Coming Banquet.
To Be Held In Riverside

The regular monthly meeting OF
the Burlington County Firemen's
Association was held on Wednesday
evening at the Community Hail at
Marion, where the organization was
the guest of the Marion Fire Co.
Chief McCallister, Of Moorestown,
the chairman of the committee to
obtain light to be used on fire APP
paratus so that motorists would be
able to identify the fire trucks on
the road at night, had his automobile
equipped with such light and gave
demonstration of it before the
meeting. Being unable to secure a
light which the committee thought
answered the requirements, Chief
McCallister devised a light which
seems to answer all needs. The
light will be taken to Atlantic City
and demonstrated at the meeting of
the State Chiefs Association being
held this week. The light was adopt
ed by the members of the association
by unanimous vote.
The committee on the appoint
ment of a fire marshall reported
that they had as yet been unable to
arrange meeting with the Board
Of Freeholders to secure their views
on the matter. The law regarding the
appointment of such marshal was
read which applies to third class
counties only. Should the Board of
Freeholders think favorably of the
creation of such an office it would
be necessary to secure legislation to
amend the act to cover second class
counties.
Edward H. Flagg, Jr, of River
ton, one of the members of the ban
quet committee gave an outline of
the tentative plans. The date while
not definitely decided upon will
likely be either November 10 or
IL and the affair will be held in
st. Peters Han Riverside; which
will accommodate four hundred
people. In addition to fine menu,
music and vaudeville acts, it is ex-
pected that prominent men in fire
manic affairs win be present to adj
dress the gathering.
An invitation was extended to the
fire companies to attend the Old
Home Day celebration to be held
at Riverton on Saturday, October 10.
The afternoon will be given over to
the fremen and in addition To a
parade contests of various kinds
viii be held for which various prizes
win be given.
During the course of the evening
several selections were rendered by
quartet from Ocean City, and a
short address given by E. H. Col
lier, of Marion, which was greatly
enjoyed.
Upon adjournment luncheon
was served by the Ladies' Auxiliary
of the Marlton Fire Company.
