Charles Wesley Ingersoll, tcl
the past eight years principal o.
the Park avenue school, and be
fore that teacher in many
schools in the county, retires TINS
year.
A community owes him vote
of gratitude for faithful work well
done. His, the principalship OF
one of the largest and hardest to
manage grammar schools, has
been no easy task. But he has
done his work in an excellent
manner.
He will always be remembered
by those he taught by his pen
manship. 1t is of the kind seldom
seen today in these times OF ma
chimes which, if properly manag-
ed. can write more accurately ard
faster than a human hand.
But hundreds of papers, lnclud-
ing diplomas and those OF every
other variety, will bear witness of
his penmanship, an art which is
rapidly passing from it's former
high place in the schools of the
country.

County Fights
Pesky Mosquito
Inspectors Go On Duty in
County Searching for
Wrigglers.
Leach Is Local Inspector
Residents Asked to Cooper
ate With Commission in
It's Efforts to Rid County
of Pest.

The Jersey" mosquito, which
never fails to seek and make ac-
quaintanceship with those who
invade the State, once more is
being fought at first hand by the
Atlantic County Mosquito Com
mission, which has waged an un-
relenting fight with the pest as
a foe for many years.
A number of mosquito inspec-
tors have gone on duty on the
Mainland and resort to search
for mosquito "wrigglers," and the
eggs from which the breeders
hatch. Richard Leach, a student
from Georgetown University, is
the Inspector for the Pleasantville
area.
1t, is the job of the various in
spectors to search back yards,
and other places where stagnant
water may be found. This water,
heated by the sun, offers an ideal
breeding place for the mosquito.
When the places are found,
they are reported to the head
quarters of the Atlantic County
Mosquito Commission in the
Guarantee Trust Building, Allan
tic City, and man is sent to oil
the places, providing they cannot
be drained.
This method of fighting the
mosquito is but one of the many
used by the Commission. 1t has
been found to be very successful,
as the inspectors explain to the
residents of the Mainland the
danger of allowing water stand
ing around.
The lesson given many times
aids the Commission in it's fight
when the people who have been
warned watch that no stagnant
water is allowed to collect on
their properties.
Inspectors are on duty in dis
tricts in Atlantic City. and in va
rious other cities and towns in
the county.
The oil used, which spreads
over the surface of the stagnant
water, makes a film through the
wrigglers cannot penetrate. Since
they must breathe, and cannot
get to the air through the oil
film, they drown.
The Commission, which has
done wonderful things In this
county towards getting rid OF the
mosqnito, which ten years ago
was a real pest, asks, through its
various inspectors, the aid OF the

HOW 1T WAS NAMED.

Did you ever stop to think now
Pleasantville got its name?
According to the old story, Two
pioneers, Daniel Ingersoll,
wheelwright and undertaken, ano
Daniel Lake, a farmer and owner
of land, had much to do with the
name selected.
Daniel Lake started to name Inc
CITY. He needed two things, ii
seemed, a name, and a board on
which to paint the name selected
that all the world might see.
He asked Mr.. Ingersoll for a
hoard on which he intended tc
paint the name of the new village
The wheelwright declared that ne
would give him the board, provld
ing he could name the city. Hav
ing no name in mind himself, Mr.
Lake agreed.
And so it was. Mr.. Ingersoll
selected Pleasantville, which mas
stuck through the village, borough
and city stages.

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Dear Sir: The Tilton road,
which would make the distance
from Pleasantville to the White
Horse Pike three and half miles
shorter, is one of the highways
which should be improved. This
road, along which reside a large
number of people, is becoming
used more and more as motor
traffic increases.
1t is a clear highway from
Pleasantville to Absecon, and
could be improved with but little
difficulty. 1t is an Egg Harbor
Township route.
If improved, it would be of
great aid to the people in that
section, as well as to the motor
lists who could be directed from
the Shore road and the New road,
and would not be obliged to go
through Absecon and face the
heavy traffic at the New York
Shore road and White Horse pike
intersection.

To the Editor:
Dear Sir: Police Recorder
Stephens and Chief of Police Nay
lor should be awarded some med
al for coming down to function
in their Offices in Red Mems hill.
OF all the police courts that
have ever attended, the one in
the hall, I believe, is the worst.
Sometime ago l read that the city
Jail had been cleaned out. If
l was the judge, l would hold
court there instead of the place
where it is being held.
And for the plan of Mainland
Post asking for a Memorial in
the form of building, the lower
floor of which could be used for
police recorders court, and an
office for the chief of police. and
any other municipal Office that
might come along, l believe that
it is splendid idea.
Some time the city is going to
need such offices more than now.
It cannot hold court in the pres
ent building forever. 1t will not
build new city hall, and so it
must have an adjoining building.
The offices needed are not large,
and the plan of the Post comes
at most favorable time.
Give the boys a helping hand.
They gave us one when we need
ed it. Build them Memorial
in the form of a building 1t
don't take much, and it will re-
pay for itself.
