Pleasantville has faithfully lived up to the rules of the league throughout the entire sea son. Unfortunately, the same can not be said of the Hammonton ball club. It is trusted that Pleasantville justice will be the lot of the culprits in Sat urday’s game.

Can we speak with or hold communi cation with the dead? that is, with those who have gone from us into the life beyond. Is it possible to hold communication with the unseen world? There are those who affirm that we can. There are those who profess to have received communications from the spirit world. What does the Bible teach in respect to this? Have we often wished that we could “Hear a j voice that is dead”? Sunday night, at the First Baptist ] Church, the Pastor will deal with this question in his sermon. He will an swer the question from the lcachings of the Word of God. Before the ser mon there will be another of the rous 1 ing song services, and songs new and old will be sung.

Through the courtesy ol the Aero Marine Company, manufacturer of the L'ppercu transit bus, a party gotten together by Zippier & Wootton, local realtors, had a trial trip Saturday morning over a route- which would likely be traversed by any proposed bus service which would operate thru the mainland section, in the event of any future abandonment of the present trolley system over the Shore road. Starting at the comer of the Allan Uc City boulevard and Shore road, with ail of the Mayors and a number of officials of civic bodies and other representatives of the Shore road com munities aboard, the bus readily dem onstrated its applicability to this sec tion for prompt and comfortable trans portation. It proceeded over the S^hore road rapidly, though comfortably, mak ing a couple of stops, arriving at the Seaview Golf Club twelve minutes lat* er. It then completed a trip down the Shore road to Somers Point in thirty minutes and returned to Pleasantville, completing what would likely be one of the circuits of bus travel and Indi cating that points now without trolley service above and westward of Abse con could be opened up, as well as the back part of all live towns by connect ing buses. i ne passengers marveled at tne comfort with which the large bus, seating something over thirty, and ac commodating additional passengers If required, traveled over the present rough Shore road and were interested in the safety implied with the picking up of passengers at the curb instead of from the centre of the street as is done by trolley. Ordinary obstructions across the centre of the road, such as would usually impede a trolley's time were easily overcome by the bus, and the impression 6f all of the riders was that buses properly scheduled, equipped and operated in sufficient numbers would be far superior to any existing or improved trolley service over the road. Men from the various communities expressed the interest of their respect ive towns in the movement for a wider and repaved Shore road at the same time, and were of the opinion that elimination of the present trolley tracks would facilitate the widening and repaving. They also expressed the opinion, unanimously, that first rights to a bus franchise should be offered the present trolley company opeiating over the Shore road, in gratitude for the early services of the company in developing the mainland highway. The company could then open additional territory with a bus line, could operate without » the present overhead of tracks, power plant, joies. trolley wires, and would likely at’ain a paying basis instead ot going steadily backward in its invest ment as i.ow teported. The Shore road bus line could either connect with present rail terminals in Pleasantville for Atlantic City, or could operate over any or all three boulevards between the mainland and Absecon Island, and could be made into a double belt line forming the figure 8 if operated both ways. Ii was computed that possibly fourteen buses of the size used Saturday would be required. There will likely be formed a coneer trated movement of the several com munities, their Councilmanic and Civic bodies, within the near future, (o urge a furtherance of the bus line plan, and facts arrived at by the group Saturday will be offered the Utility Commission of the State, which is now hearing ap plications for a raise in the trolley fares. Among those making the bus inspec tion and trip Saturday morning were Mayor Uoll and Lewis B. Matthias, President of the Atlantic County Cham ber of Commerce, of Somers Point; J. V. Wray, representing Mayor Swilkey, of Northfield; Mayor Charles E. Jack son, S. J. Stoloff, President of the Pleasantville Chamber of Commerce, Stanley W. Zippier, of the Kiwanis Committee on Shore Road improve ments, John S. Weaver, mercham, Thomas B. Wootton and George Hal i ler, local realtors, all of Pleasantville; Mayor Harry Mattson and Councilman Royer, of Absecon; Superintendent Goldey, of the Atlantic and Suburban : Railway, and others. * * • Petitions are again being'distributed through the Shore road communities south of Pleasantville for a widening of the Shore road, five feet on either side. It is undtrstood that he State has alttady taken over the Shore road as a part of the(new state highways and will pave the same when irruey* are available for ti, purpose. There is almost unanimous sentiment all i along the Shore toad lot a widening, it paving and trick elimination, it was brought out at the meeting Saturday. These improvements would eliminate ruuc‘a of the present menace to life and 1 faith, much of the noise from | present trolley equipment over the road and would provide riding corn ' forts not enjoyed over the Shore road in many years, it is one of the most ‘ needy improvements of the mainland : at this time.
