MADE SPECIAL OFFICER

Harry Leiling, of Lenape Park,
has been sworn in as a special
officer of Hamilton Township, to
serve at the will of the Township
Committee. This action was taken
by the Township Committee at
Monday nights meeting in order
that better police protection could
be had at the park. Gene Leiling
had already been made special
officer, but it was felt that there
would at times be need for two
men with police authority there.
A fracas at the park about ten
days ago showed the need of fur
ther authority as it was with diff
ficulty that a young man from
Philadelphia who raised a rumpus
in the skating rink could be sub
dued and placed under arrest.

Want Short Road From
Dorothy To Belcouiile

Efforts are being made to
obtain state aid for the improve
ment of the road from Dorothy
to Relcoville, via Eleventh
avenue and the Walker Forge
road. This route connecting the
two sections of Weymouth
township would cut the present
road distance from ten to five
miles and establish a more
direct communication than IS
now possible.
About three miles of this
road run through the City OF
Estell Manor, with the remain
ing two miles partly in Wey-
mouth Township and partly in
Hamilton Township.
John Wigglesworth, represent
ing the Weymouth township Com
mittee. made a request of the
Hamilton Township Committee
at the meeting on Monday night
for cooperation in obtaining
state aid for the improvement
No definite action was taken
pending an investigation as to
lust how much of the road Hes
in Hamilton Township and what
assistance, if any. could be OBJ
tanned for the section lying IN
Estell Manor.
Since the creation of the City
of EsteH Manor, Belcoville and
Dorothy, are all that remains OF
weymouth Township, and while
they form a community under
one government. they are ten
miles apart via the only passable
the road from Esteli-
vile to Risley.

big hatchery pools in specially con-
structed fish trucks. Assistant Pro
tector Harry E. Cudney has become
postmaster in the science of
handling live fish enreute and ship
ments were handled with great sue
cess. In some of the restocking
work, truck loads of trout went
from the hatchery to South Jersey
lakes and streams in single haul
without the loss of fish.
A late Spring and continued pol
luton of the streams combined to
make shad-fishing this year the
poorest in the history of the indus
try. Once thriving source of food
supply and a profitable business
employing hundreds, the operation
dropped off, this year, TO a total
catch in New Jersey waters of
less than $4,000 fish, where for
merly it ran into millions. The
records compiled by State Pro-
tector James NJ. Stratton show
that the catch was not half that
of a year ago.
Those who have studied the de-
cline of this industry are agreed
that pollution of the streams is
the chief cause of the lack of
shad. Where the Delaware river
once teemed with shad, salmon,
perch and other food fish, much of
the stream, because of its contain
ination with industrial wastes, will
not now support the more valu-
able varieties of fish life. Admit
ting that there might have been
excuse for. this uncontrolled dis
posal of sewage under emergency
conditions duling the late war,
fishery agents contend that the
practice, now, is criminal careless
ness that is depriving the public
not only of a food supply but of
healthful streams for recreational
purposes. 4--.e ---

A NATION OF HUNTERS

More than 5,15O,OOO hunting licenses were taken
out during the season of 1885 by sportsmen in
the United States, including Alaska. Returns to
state treasures amounted to more than $6,8OOOOO
Although data are lacking from four states
detailed figures for the season compiled by the
biological survey of the United States department
of agriculture show increases in the number Of
licenses issued and in fees received over the two
years preceding. .
In the 1923-24 season, the licenses numbered
4,S95,O 38 and the fees paid totalled S5,594.982
One year later 4,9O4,74 hunters paid $6,19O.8s9
During the 7925-26 season the license fiourns
were 5,168,353 and the fees paid amounted 70
$6,S72,812. Pennsylvania, with 525,O45 licenses
and fees Of $646,467, headed the list in both licen-
ses and returns to the state treasury.
In Montana last year II ,454 licenses were issued
for which hunters paid a total Of S143,8O5. Of
the licenses, 71,249 were granted to residents and
only 2O5 to non-residents. The sums of money
herein mentioned include amounts received from
combined hunting and fishing licenses, but not
from licenses to fish only,

THE N SITUATION

This is not a good time to take too much for
granted, one way or another, in connection with
the Chinese situation. All kinds of stories are
coming out of the Orient. Every Chinese faction
has a propaganda bureau of it's own, and the
European powers have a way of censoring the
news which comes from their correspondents.
There can be little doubt, however, that the
situation in China is bad. Just how bad it is,
only time can tell. In view of these facts, it is
c~OnsOling to know that the administration at
Washington is not one apt to go off on a tangent
on this or any other proposition. The govern
ment is, of course, taking such steps as are neces-
sary to protect American lives and American pro-
perty, but in so doing it is only performing its
duty. 1t will not embark on any definite and
sweeping policy in China until it is sure of all
the facts.
1t is significant to note that with all the trouble
in China and the worldwide concern it has caused.
there has as yet been no effort made to call the
League of Nations in to adjust the situation. The
league, as has been suspected, can act only when
Great Britain and France want it to do so, and
in the Chinese upheaval these two powers prefer
to work things out without any league inter
ference.

AT SCHOOL

The South Bend Qnd.) TRIBUNE says that a
father of that city and his schoOlboy son recently
were discussing international affairs. The father,
who is a real internationalist and a great admirer
of President Wilson's policies, was discussing
these principles with the lad. When the father
left the room he overheard his con confiding to
his mother the opinion that daddy doesn't know
much about history"
This aroused the fathers curiosity and upon
Investigation he found that the youths teacher
had been talking against American entry into the
world court and had, to a great extent, moulded
his opinions on the subject. The father, according
to the TRIBUNE, told the story as a good joke
upon himself and the incident became the subject
of much amusement among his friends. "But,"
concludes the TRIBUNE, cit raises an interesting
question"
The question is doubtless that of the influence
of our text books in history and of our teachers
upon the future political opinions of the youth of
the land. In the South Bend instance the teacher
was a real American nationalist. But in all too
many instances the internationalists have the
better of it in this moulding Of the opinions of
youngsters.
1t is we'll known that there has been an insidious
and often successful effort on the part of p~acifists
anu CNuSdCO4O VIII CI1lllh CuSy are liberal, 10
change our text books in history for the purpose
of s~tressing internationalism, the "new freedom"
disarmament and it's correlating theories. The
situation is not so bad as it was because there
has been a general protest from patriotic societies
and individuals against removing American
patriotism from our histories. This protest has
succeeded in remedying part of the evil, but only
a part of it. There seems to be a general tendency
in certain quarters to belittle patriotism and to
substitute for it a maudlin and at the same time
dangerous form of nternationalism Unfortun-
ately this tendency has been noted among some
of our ministers and our teachers.
There is no doubt that the great body of our
preachers and tutors are sound Americans, but
it will not do to minimize the damage that may
be wrought by those who are not. In order to
be on the safe side, it is a good idea for patriotic
citizens occasionally to look into the kind of his
tory and political science that is being taught in
our public schools.

Credit

human interest that a good news item
must have. Hundreds of thousands,
perhaps millions of people read it,
and it brought a flush of pride to the
face of many a fond father and moth

thing in another way.
But as business news, the important
thing about it is that it illustrated
precisely the nature of credit. The
boy had character, the first requisite
of credit. He was able to show a IA
vOrable past record, which was re-
quirement number two. He had a
sound proposition, his $500 loan be-
ing secured by a $500 property Of
permanent value. And, finally, he
was able to show that in all probable
ity he would be able to meet his obi
cation on the due date.
