A peaceful, quiet shelter from the
wind, rain and tide.
IT'S bounded on the North by
hope and by patience on the

BY tender counsel on the South,
and on the East by rest.
Above it like a beacon light.
shine faith and truth and
prayer;
And through the changing scenes
of life l find a haven there"

cred Sunday Night.
do the present day political
conditions. and the laxity in law
enforcement indicate that we as a
nation are drifting from the high
ideals of Washington, Lincoln and
other great leaders," asks Rev. G..
Woodvine Ball, pastor of the First
Baptist Church. Are our moral
standards being lowered? Is evil
becoming less evil to us? Do we
begin to tolerate the things we at
one time hated. Pope says:
"'Vice is a monster of so fright
full mien
AS to be hated, needs but to be
seen;
Yet, seen too oft, familiar with
her face, :
We first endure, then pity, then
embrace
"Some one said that We as a
nation are drifting away from re
ligion. Are we? These are some
of the questions that will be an
swered in the sermon on Sunday
night at the First Baptist Church.
You may be drifting and not rea-
lie the danger. Come and hear
the sermon. It will help and in
terest you. There will be the reg

the attitude of President Geist to-
ward the Mainland is that of a
most enthusiastic booster. He be-
lieves in the future of the Main
land and is ready to take a most
active part in it's development.
President Geist sees the opportu-
nifty for industrial expansion as
well as home building and will
build the Pleasantville plant over
to provide for a future which is
we'll assured.
President Geist proposes to give
the same service in Pleasantville
and other cities on the Mainland
that is being given in Atlantic
City. Engineers have said that
the Atlantic City plant is the fin
est in the state. IF we get the
same service for Pleasantville,"
remarked Mayor Jackson, cas-
they are getting in Atlantic City,
it will be just great"

Already the gas company has
expended $27, 900 in improvements
in the plant and in new mains.
President Geist anticipates that
the company will lose $4,000 a
year until the gas consumption is
equal to service rendered. He be-
~lieves, however, that in giving the
best of service, the spirit and eff
fort of the company will be recog-
nized and rewarded by a satisfac-
tory volume of business.
Mayor Jackson said the changes
in rates would not be in effect,
probably, before another month,
due to the details involved.
The conference was one arrang-
ed by President Geist. To it were
invited the mayors and members
of the councils of each of the cit.
les of Absecon, Pleasantville,

Industries
In the Proposal of B. Rus
sell Thatcher for COun-
cilman-at-L Large.
Strong Spirit OF Expansion
Secretary of Taylor Packing
Co. Has Understanding of
Local Manufacturing Con-
ditiOns.

Proposal of the name of B. Rus
sell Thatcher, secretary of the
Taylor Packing Co., as the candi.
date for councilman-at-large in the
City of Pleasantville has met with
q cordial reception.
In proposing the name of Mr..
Thatcher there is recognition OF
the industrial plants of the city
and it is a tribute not only to Mr.,
Thatcher's splendid personality
and excellent qualifications, but
also to the spirit of progress and
expansion apparent in the indus
trial life of the city.
1t is often remarked that the
growth of the city may well be
along industrial lines and the ut
most encouragement is eKtenda ed
to manufacturers to locate in the
city. The manufacturing enter
prises already located here are In
creasing in size and Importance,
while new plants r coming.
Mr.. Thatcher has the under.
standing of conditions entering in.
to the determination of a manu-.
featuring plant to locate in Pleas;
antville and of the well being of
the plant, it's owners and it's en-
ployees after it has located in the
city.
The Taylor Packing Co. plant is
a model of its kind. Mr.. Thatcher
is a Republican, but the sugges
ton of his name as the candidate
for councilman-at-large takes this
Office fairly we'll outside of poll
tics" and places it in the realm of
enterprise and progressiveness.

STEAM SHOVEL VS.. TROLLEY
Shore Fast Train Gets Worst OF
Tennessee Ave. Crash.

Snore LAST rain 0eIS WORST OF
Tennessee Ave. Crash.
What happens when a trolley
train and a steam shovel both
want to go the same way, and
there is room for only one of
them? The answer is that the
trolley generally loses.
At any rate, such was the case
when a Shore Fast train, of two
cars crashed into a steam shovel
on Absecon Boulevard, lear Ten
nessee avenue, Tuesday. The
train was just about to turn into
Tennessee avenue when the big
tractor crane crossed the tracks.
Van c. Clifford, of Absecon, dri-
yer of the crane. attempted to
reverse and get out of the way,
but he was too late. The trolley
struck the steel girder beam with
the shovel hung on it's raised
end. The front end of the car
was completely ;caved in, and
flying glass endangered the pas
sengers and the conductor and
motorman. Albert Bergey, of
AIS N. Main street, motorman of
the car, somersaulted back into
the interior, and sustained num-
erous cuts and bruises and a
wrenched shoulder. Eva Short.
colored, of 1876 Maple street, was
showered and gashed by flying
glass. James ]. Parker. conduc-
tor on the leading car, was hurl-
ed to the floor, but scrambled to
his feet Immediately after, and
succeeded in quieting the passen-
gers.
The crane was owned by the
Coast and Island Dredging Com
pany, of 1912 Paramount avenue,
Atlantic City.
