New Jersey Pastor
Discusses Social AS
poets of the Church

w. R. Valentine, principal of
the Bordentown School, called a
conference of all pastors Of the
State of New Jersey of all denoml-
nations at the school to consider
the question of the social aspects
of the church. In order to give
some outstanding examples of this
type of service DR.. A. Clayton
Powell, pastor of the Abyssinia
Baptist Church, New York City,
described the institutional work
that his church is doing in New
York City. He showed how the
church was adapting itself to the
social, economic, health and edu-
cational needs of the people of
Harlem. He brought out the fact
that Abyssinia Church had mem
bership of 10000 Rev. w. N. De-
Berry of st. Johns Congregational
Church, Springfield, Mass, de-
scribed how his church was meet
ing the social needs of Springfield.
He described how the church pur-
chased a whole square of houses
and is renting them out to his
people and how the working girls
home was set up near the chuch.
Seven social workers are employ
ed regularly. Rev. DeBery de-
scribed his Camp Atwater which
gives Hundreds of the youth OF
New England an outing on the
lake in the summer. This camp is
so acres in area.
Bishop R. A. Ransom. who estab-
lished the first institutional church
in America, described the work
Of that church and gave to tbs
pastors the latest books that had
been written on the Subject and he
drove home to the pastors the need
of improving the social, education
al and health life of the people
that they were serving. 1t was
brought out that a pastor after be-
ing on a charge for ten years
ought to be able to see results in
the living and working conditions
OF MS members.
DR.. C. H. Tobias, General Sec
rotary Y. M. &. A., was present
during all sessions giving his expe-
riences as he has travelled about
the country, giving examples of
how the churches were fulfilling
It's mission. Discussions followed
very freely after these talks.
1t was realized that it was not
desirable to have institutional
churches in all these communities
but it was pointed cut in what
ways the pastors could employ the
spirit of the institutional church
il their various communities.
Among other things, the confer
cree concluded that the pastors
could help their people get jobs;
that they could give instructions
as to how to keep jobs; that they
could place their members in con-
tact with welfare agencies in their
mmunities; that they could &C
quaint their members with the pro-
lIcClOn Que IueHh IIOiH PuDllC Cl-
Gals; that they could be acquaint-
ed with public officials and the
Influential people of their commu-
rites, that they could combine
to secure social worker among
their people in each locality; that
they could study the industrial de-
volopment in their communities
aid prepare their people in ad'
vance for openings; that they
could instruct their people in the
care and the improvement of their
h.me and surroundings; that they
cclld urge young people to stay in
school till thew have secured at
least high school education or a
trade.

Slight Losses Reported as Result
of Petty Thieving Sunday

Petty thieving during the weekend
resulted in slight losses to several
Oakland residents, and as yet none of
the offenders have been apprehended.
The thieving took place Sunday night.
A wheelbarrow in the rear of Harry
Miller's meat market was stolen and
after being loaded with coal belonging
to Fred Peddicord was trundled along
Railroad street for some distance or
until the hard surfaced street was
reached and the track of the vehicle
lost. The offender is known by Mr..
Miller and unless the wheelbarrow is
returned at once he has stated it to be
his intention to prosecute.
Leighton Brothers Garage on Third
street was broken into on Sunday ev-
ening or Monday morning and 81 gal
Ions of gasoline taken.
Hamill's Book Store on Alder street
was also entered Sunday night where
quantity of candy and cigars were
stolen. Entrance to the store was
comparatively easy due to the fact
that the front of the building had been
demolished Saturday by an automobile
and having been only lightly boarded
up afterward.

UNOCCUPIED CAR DAMAGES
STORE OF HAMILL-HART
Breaks Loose on Court House
Hill on Saturday Afternoon

A Willys-Knight sedan broke loose
on Court House hill, between Third
and Fourth streets where it was
parked last Saturday afternoon about
$3.50 o'clock, and did considerable
damage to the front of Hamill's Book
Store and Harris store before coming
to a stop.
The car was owned by Ivan UNI
stead, of Grantsvilie, West Va, and
had been occupied just few minutes
before the accident by Messrs. Irwin
Fowler and Walter Fowler, and two
ladies, also of Grantsville.
Two large plate glass windows in
Hamill's store and one plate glass
window in Harris store were shattered
by the impact of the car, and the to-
tai damage is estimated to be about
$500. A check sufficient to pay for
all repairs was deposited with To-
cal attorney by Mr.. Walter Fowler.
No one was injured, as it happened
that nobody was in that vicinity at
the time. One of the ladies who had
stepped out of the car few minutes
before, upon seeing the car start
down the hill, attempted to stop it
but was thrown to the street. The car
was facing up the hill.

SENATOR TYDINGSAPPEALS
FOR FISH HATCHERY IN MD.
Urges $4,000 Government Plant
Be Established in the State
Location In Garrett Mentioned

Efforts are being made to bring
about the establishment of a $4,000
fish hatchery in Maryland, says a re-
port from Washington. The White
bill, passed by Congress, authorizes a
plant in Maryland or West Virginia.
Senator Willard E. Tydings Satur-
day discussed the matter with Com
missioner of Fisheries O'Malley. Sem
ator Tydings urged that, in view of
the many available and suitable loca-
tions in Maryland, where springs and
streams are adapted to the purposes,
and the fact that there is Federal
hatchery at White Sulphur Springs,
w. Va, the additional one authorized
in the White bill should be located in
Maryland.
Urged by SwepsOn Earle
The Conservation Department of
Maryland also has taken the matter
up with Commissioner O'Malley.
Swepson Earle, conservation commits
sioner, and E. Lee LeCompte, State
Game Warden, recently discussed the
matter with Federal officials.
The Maryland officials told Mr..
O'Malley there were number of sites
in Maryland suitable for bass or trout
hatcheries. Mr.. Earle and Mr.. Lee
Compile told Mr.. O'Malley they would
file data regarding the streams and
sites they believe would meet the re-
quirements of the department.
Mentions Three Counties
'T am sure the people of Maryland
are very much interested in having the
United States Bureau of Fisheries
establish the Government hatchery in
Maryland instead of West Virginia"
Mr.. LeCompte told Senator Tydings.
In the counties of Garrett, Washing
ton and Frederick locations can be OBJ
tanned for propagation of bass and
trout with adequate water supply of a
temperature required for the propa-
cation of these fishes"
After his conversation with Com
missioner O'Malley, Senator Tydings
said Maryland had good claim for
the hatchery, with indications favor
ing selection of a site in this State.
Representative Stephen w. Gam
bill and Fred. N. Zihlman have also
taken the matter up with the depart
ment.

NOTICED SINCE CONTEST
Residents Show Greater Civic
Spirit, Civic Club President of
Oakland States-251 Entrants

With the Oakland Yard and Garden
contest now well under way, much i'm
provement is already shown in yards
and gardens of those entered in the
contest, according to Miss Lottie Loar,
president of the Civic Club, and Mrs.
Albert L. Lee, chairman of the contest
committee.
In a recount of the entries it was
found 251 were entered in the contest
for the Identification of their prop
erty and the town of Oakland.
"One of the most valuable benefits
of the Yard and Garden contest to
this community will be greater civic
loyalty" Miss Loar stated. eve can
Justly be proud to have our home town
as the city of beautiful homes. Every
where garden contests have been held
homes have been improved and made
more attractive. Like results will be
accomplished here.
'.Individual citizens who have beau
tilted their home lots by planting
trees, shrubs and flowers always take
pride in the changed appearance OF
their places. Grounds such as these
frequently come to be the pride OF the
neighborhood. Yards which won prizes
in yard and garden contests in other
cities last year were the show places
of the entire community"
w. R. Ballard, extension horticul-
turalist or landscape artist Of the
University of Maryland, will be in
Oakland on May 81 and will give sug-
gestions and inspect properties of all
who notify Mrs. Lee or Miss Loar.
"Many people who have entered the
contest do not know where to begin
fixing up their premises" Mrs. Lee
said. "The place to begin is right in
ones backyard in most cases. The
portion of the property that fronts on
the street and is seen by the public
should of course be made attractive.
But the part of the lot to the rear OF
the house has ordinarily been over
looked and offers the greater oppor-
tunity for improvement. There is the
place to build the outdoor liv-
ing room. Trees and shrubs will make
walls of living green. The blue sky
will be your ceiling, the grass your
carpet. Flowers will decorate your
outdoor living room and cheer you
with their color and fragrance every
time you step out of doors"
