REV. FRANK HERSON
ASKED TO RETURN
Local NJ. Il. Minister Nov COmplet-
ing Sixth Consecutive Year

Rev. Frank HersOn. pastor of the
Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church
this city, who is now completing his
sixth consecutive year in that ca
pacity has been requested by the
congregation to return for the
seventh year.
Rev. HersOn is lOOke'l upon as
one of the outstanding ministers of
the Wilmington Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church and it
is supposed and hoped that the pre-
siding Bishop of the conference will
reappOint him to this charge. Rev.
Herson's ability as a humOrist, an
Interpreter of the scriptures in
their fundamental meaning, is lec-
ognized throughout the confer enco
The City of Milford is indeed for
tunate in being able to retain a
minister OF such outstanding abili-
ties as Rev. Herson for such Icing
period. If Rev. HersOn is reappoiut-
ed it will be the first time that a
minister has served for seven con-
secutive years as pastor OF the
Avenue NJ. e. Church.
Rev. HersOn's success as pastor
is noticeable i'm every department of
the church and it is believed that his
annual report to the Wilmington
Conference this year i'm the inter
ests of the church will be favorable
i'm every respect, despite the trying
times of the past year.

Cases Taken BefOro Cargo Stolen
From Penny Hill Was UnlOaded

Not word of testimony relative
to the identity of the person or per-
sons who stole las cases of high
grade liquors from the Penny Hill
Station of the State Highway Police
last December was produced at a
hearing held Wednesday afternoon
and evening by the special House
committee named to investigate the
theft. Nothing was developed to
show who got the liquor after it
was stolen nor what became of it.
One fact that was developed, how
ever, was that five cases of the iiQ-
uor was taken from the truck carry
ing the contraband cargo by the
Highway Policemen themselves
who excused their actions by the
assertion before the committee that
the liquor was taken merely as a
lark. Some of this liquor, they testi-
fed. was given away to their friends
and one policeman was frank
enough to admit that he drank his
share of the stolen wet goods.
Private Leo ]. Hammerer testi-
fed he had gone to Governor Buck
when he could get no statement
from Superintendent C. c. Reynolds
after his suspension. He said the
Governor promised him immunity if
he would tell all he knew about the
case.
