NEED FINANCIAL AID

Under an economy programme
much is being accomplished in re.
building the Shore road south of
Pleasantville. This work is author
lied by the Atlantic County Board
of Freeholders with the financial
assistance of the State of New
JerJey.
Due to the amount of construct
ion involved it has been necessary
to exercise the greatest care in the
expenditure of funds.
Road Supervisor Japhet Price
has been active in the interest of
getting the best possible results,
and under his supervision the i'm
provement was started at the
Pleasantville end of the road. The
beginning at the Pleasantville end,
feflects the good Judgment of
Supervisor Price. The work last
year was between Absecon and
Pleasantville.
Equal demand for improvement
of the Shore road came from the
people of Somers Point, the south
ern end of the line. Work is also
being done at the Somers Point
end.
1t is hoped that the State High
ways Department will be able to
lenl further financial assistance
so that the road may finally be
completed between Pleasantville
and Somers Point In the meantime
everything is being done that is
possible to improve the condition
of the road.

The Fire road crossing Of the
Reading railroad in Egg Harbor
township, which has been under
attack by residents of that section
for almost a year, is to be widen

trunk line between the Mainland

Need of Ambulance
Ir. Adams also says he feels
that it would be the human and
kindly act for the City of Pleasant
vile to arrange with the Atlantic
City Hospital to take care of
accident cases from PleasantvilIe.
The arrangement could be ON
the basis of cases treated and bills
rendered therefor to the City of
Pioasantville or the city could
make a contribution of sufficient
arr cunt to meet this emergency.
Improvement should be made,
says Mr.. Adams. in the equipment
used for the transportation of in
jured men, women and children to
the Atlantic City Hospital Those
cases are now transported in the
police ambulance, which although
an improvement over earlier
means, is not the proper vehicle.
The emergency call average is
high enough to justify consider
ation of improved means The
mcnner in which injured persons
are transported to hospitals is a
vital factor in their welfare. An
ambulance to be efficient must
adequately provide for the
patients comfort and safety en-
route. Ocean City has a Studebaker
ambulance.

TRIP TO POWELL COST
CRANDALL MAN $3.50

When H. II. Ward of Crandall
creek was arraigned in Judge Mon

charged with acting as guide TO a
hunting party without the neces-
sary state license. he was fined $50
Inc costs. which made his trip
down to the valley cost him $92.50.
When Ward was placed under ar
rest by Deputy Game Warden King.
he asked for a change sof venue
from Martin Ranmael's court at
Crandall, but it seems his trip to
the lower country proved easily
twice as expensive as being judged
in his own country.
Ed Groom was arrested on the
upper Clarks Fork last week by
Deputy Warden King. charged with
hunting in Wyoming without a IL
cense. He gave his home as Mon
tana, and pleaded guilty to the
charges preferred against him, re-
ceiving a fine of $50. Groom has
a trapping permit on the upper
Clarks Fork, and 1t was pointed
out that he was thoroughly fami-
liar with the Montana-Wyoming

VALLEY RANCH WARRIORS
DEFEAT POWELL TEAM

The Valley Ranch football squad
journeyed to Powell on Saturday
in the snow and mud, and showed
the boys from the fiat how football
was played on the upper reaches
of the Shoshone. In fact, so well
did the Valley boys exemplify the
finer points of the popular outdoor
sport that the score stood six to
nothing in their favor at the end
of the conflict.
This is the Valley Ranch boys
first win, but they strongly assert
it will not be their last. A week
from Friday they will square off
to the Cody High tenn and are
confident that the game will be
hotly contested by them. Training
and developing a football team at
Valley has been an uphill job. With
scarcely more than eleven men in
the school who care for football,
every man is drafted into service,
and this fall the '.savages" at the
ranch have been organized as a
practice squad for the school
youngsters to work on. That they
have been doing good work is at
tested by the bumps, bruises and
scratches which appear on the faces
of the boys employed at Valley.
