Local Firemen
Prove Worth At
Ocean City Fire
Sixty-Five Members of Local
Companies Aid in Fight
ing Blaze

While Ocean City is slowly recov-
ering from the disastrous blaze that
swept its hotel section Tuesday.
the members of the Pleasantville
Fire Department are back at their
routine today, polishing up their
engines, drying their hose lines,
and in general removing the marks
of their biggest fire-fighting exper-
fence
That the local firemen's perform
ance at the confagration Tuesday
night was heroic and admirable has
been conceded by everyone who
saw them work. They were as
signed TO one of the most difficult
tasks, and the manner in which
they stuck to their post has elected
praise from both their townspeople
and the fire companies that We're
present in Ocean City.
A total of SO men from Pleasant
vile, representing Companies ] and
3, were sent to the resort Tuesday
night at O'Clock when the Ocean
City department sent out its call
for help. They took only one piece
of apparatus, the Ahrens-Fox pun
per. and arrived on the scene in
record time.

Men Given Work
On Hall Job
Convention Building Has EN-
plOyed Many Carpenters
During Present Week
HEADWAY BEING MADE

With work on the superstructure
of Atlantic City's Convention Hall
progressing rapidly, large num-
Der of carpenters and other trades
men have been given work within
the last three days on the job, it
was announced today by the M. B.
MARYLAND Company, in charge of the
project.
While no definite figures could
be obtained, it is understood that
the huge job will soon employ a
large number OF the men who are
at present unemployed in this
section. With the recent asserta-
ton by the officials of thescontract-
ing company that men from Allan
tic City and the Mainland are be-
ing given preference in the matter
of employment, labor experts look
for a betterment in employment
conditions here.
Despite the fact that petty quar-
rels between tradesmen's organi-
cations have held up work on the
convention hall from time to time,
admirable progress is being made,
and the MARYLAND Company is con-
fident that the hall will be ready
in time to accommodate some OF the
big conventions which will come to
Atlantic City soon.

Parents To Educate Chill
dren i'm Prevention
SPIKES, STONES, ETC,
ARE PLACED ON TRACKS
Several Serious Wrecks Have
Been Narrowly Averted by
Discovery of Obstacles, Of
ficials Say

The practice by children of this
city of placing nails, spikes and
loaded cartridges on the rails OF
the Reading tracks within the city
limits has grown to such serious
proportions that officials of the
company have appealed for aid in
preventing it here.
According to Sergeant Charles T.
Heitz OF the Reading Company po-
lice several disastrous accidents
have been narrowly prevented this
year by timely discovery OF these
obstacles on the rails. Recently
someone placed on the rails a num-
Der of tie plates, which are large
pieces OF iron When a local train
passed over them the fragments
entered the cab and tank of the To-
connective. Had a Reading flyer
passed instead of the slower local,
a wreck would have been certain,
says Sergeant Heitz.
Since railroad police have def
nitely established that children are
responsible for most OF the work,
Sergeant Heitz is appealing to the
parents of the city for campaign
of education which will tend to put
a stop to the practice.
Since the children have no idea
of the seriousness OF what they are
doing, it is upon the parents we
depend to help prevent further vio-
lations," said Sergeant Heitz today.
Although we dislike to do it, there
may be an occasion when we shall
be forced to apprehend child and
bring action against his parents,
who are held by the law to be re-
sponsible."
An appeal has been made to par
ent-teacher and civic organizations
for aid in the educational campaign,
