Seven shad were caught by fish,

This is the earliest date on record,
so far as the old fishermen know.
A year ago on January 10th it was
noted that Mr.. Stokesbury had
caught two shad and this was
thought unprecedented but this
years catch proceeds it by three
weeks. Whether this indicates a
mild winter we do not know but ii
certainly shows an unusual condi-

The
What Not Shelf
By Louise Hoffecker Burslem

Hubbard Park these days is just
like a hop scotch game. The fam
lily next door moved across the
street and people from New York
are moving in. The family in the
end house moved away, and the
people next door to them are NOV
ing there, and into their house is
moving the football coach at the
Rumson High School. Like a game
of Going to Jerusalem" using
houses instead of chairs.
Well, it seems that the New
York family has not moved enough
of their furniture to date to get
settled-but in the living room is
a huge oil painting of a woman
and two children-vintage of 1908.
Today Ruth and Karl and Barbara
(the girl who just moved from this
house, decided to peep through the
windows and inspect the huge
painting.
"Hideousl" they exclaimed.
Poor taste!" they decided.
Should be hidden in the Gel
lar" they cried loudly, their noses
pressed to the window.
"At least" remarked Karl, "I
can sneak over here and paint
modern dresses on the poor souls"
The three art critics then filed
across the street to tell another
neighbor the results of their find
ings.
Good heavens" she said, "Mr.
1.-the new tenant) is in that
house. saw him arrive an hour
ago"
Needless to say, this family will
lay low for couple of weeks.
1t is a curious thing how ac-
customed you can get to persons
with whom you have no contact
except to say "good-morning"-or
even just to smile.
There are two such persons here
in Red Bank-both of whom think
of as friends. One is the mailman
and the other is the policeman who
pass the Office window each day.
I don't know their names-but if
either of them should disappear, I
should miss them greatly.
Both they and I nearly bust a
puckerin' string to wave and smile
at one another through the win
dow.
Poppy" is the janitor at the
Daily Standard office. He is old
and small and round, and he moves
about with deliberate slowness.
When the girls tease him, his little
white mustache turns up at the
corners.
I'll never forget Poppy" the
first day went on the job. My
instructions were to be at work at
the crack of dawn, and I breezed
into the office to find only Poppy"
there to greet me. He leaned on
his broom and regarded me closely.
why you here so early?" he
demanded in his soft, funny accent.
I yawned in his face, and told
him what my instructions had
been.
'Pfoof!" he muttered, "that silly.
You dunt haf to come so early.
Nobody else does."
Poppy" spoke with such author
ity that ever since then I have talk
en- him at his word. That extra Is
minutes of sleep each morning is
all due to him.

tunity to wish all the readers of
