It is compliment to the Yukol which Mr. Black has represented in the House ot Com mons for so many years.

Season For Beach Parties
And DOggie ROasts Now
At It's Height.

The season for beach parties and
''doggie roasts" is not only at its
height but highly successful sea-
son." Slaughter Beach is the mecca
of such parties to such an extent
that the drug stores of Milford have
had to get in an extra supply of in
digestion tablets and "skester bite
cure. It may be that is the reason
there are no more fish being caught
at this time for the tide is very care
ful to wash the beach every night
and extra doggies and trimmings are
washed out and something has to
dispose of them so "it's up to the
fish,

Bible classes of the First NJ. P.

Three Nabbed In

Are Freed In Bail

Island. members of the crew. They
were arraigned before U. S. Commits
sioner Albert F. Polk. The men were
captured by the crew of the Coast
Guard cutter CG-949, in charge of
Lieut.. Charles L. Duke, from Base
No. 8, Cape May. The rum runners
were sighted off the mouth of the
Mispillion river, in Delaware Bay.
The speeding boat was travelling
without lights. 1t was easily over
taken by the Coast Guards, due to
the heavy cargo of liquor on board.
There was no resistance on the part
of the crew.
The $4,000 cargo was turned ov-
er to customs officials and taken to
Philadelphia. There was said to be
choice liquors in the 500 sacks. Ac-
cording to Coast Guards, the boat
seized is one of at least a dozen, if
not 20 similar speed boats, awaiting
an opportunity to come in from rum
row. The boats are loaded beyond
the 12-mile limit from the vessels
that constitute the row, and there
await a favorable moment to make
the dash.
Coast Guards have manned all
available boats and are using sea-
planes for scouting work, to combat
the situation.

ed, and his brother is handling the
routine business until he returns.
Members of the crew stated that
they were hailed at 1870 a. m. in the
bay. When asked if there was any
shooting, they stated plenty" They
said that there was machine gun and
rife fire for about five or ten min
utes, but they did not reply to it
with answering fire. Members of the
crew said they were unarmed. The
capture was made near the mouth of
the Misipplion River which empties
into the Delaware Bay seven miles
from Milford.
The coast guard boat, it was stat
ed, that overlook the rum runners
was the former Don" a sped boat
seized at Fleming's Landing, near
Smyrna about 18 months ago by
agents and state officers.
The boat was forfeited and revamp-
ed by the coast guard and is now
used by the coast guard as one of
their fastest boats. The Don was
in the seizure of an
other rum-runner a few months ago.
The men arrested gave their names
as Edward Lewis, Brooklyn, N. Y,
of the Helena; Walter
Jones and George Homes, of Coney
Milford chronicle., 1931-07-24

To say it was a success would be
putting it mildly. 1t was a bowling
success. Not that the doggies howl
ed (unless they howled few hours
later when sundry doggie filled folks
were in bed) but that there was one
big, fine time and everybody enjoy
ed everything from the cooling
breezes to the onion and mustard
dressing in which the doggies were
dressed.
There were about 1875 or more
people who went down and a num-
Der were already cottaging there.
Before the roasting Of the dog
gies, games on the sand were in
dulged in and general good time
was enjoyed but the real good time
was when the doggies got ripe for
eating. For convenience a table was
placed on the beach and wire bas-
ket was made in which to roast the
doggies in wholesome fashion, and
the ladies prepared the sandwiches
on the table.
1t is the first time that many
people ever saw dog eat dog" But
they saw it. For Mrs. Vernon Ben
sons dog was seen to eat the dog
gle which she gave him although !
there was such small difference in |
the size of the two that at first it |
was little uncertain whether the !
dog was eating the doggie or the |
1Og2ie eating the dog We'll which |
ever it was, he enjoyed it.
Ebe Savage lived up to his fierce
name for he ate so many doggies
hat the most he could do after it
vas all over was to growl and late
n the night quite a barking was
heard in his neighborhood.
Altogether it was a great time
wen the pastor went home and
,rowled.
