I* T.he attention of the County
Superintendent of Weights and
fe Measures, has been called to the
i; fact that many complaints have
i been made to the office of the
* state superintendent to the effect
m many merchants in this city
and vicinity are still selling dry
commodities in elements of dry
A measure, contrary to the provi
% sions of the sale-by-weight law.
> The new law, passed and enacted
at the last session of the Legis
lature, provides that all commodi
fy ties heretofore offered for sale by
dry measure, baskets, containers
of any kind must hereafter be
i$Sf sold by numerical count or by
avoirdupois only. This law was
effective on and after July 1st,
1924, and is enforceable by the
|| State Superintendent of Weights
and Measures, and assistants. It
§ is rumored that this matter is to
3 be given immediate attention.

(Although handicapped in many
ways by sickness and death in
the regular force of the local Post
Office, Postmaster Whitman and
'f .his well trained and efficient corps
H of assistants have managed to
f| carry on the duties of that in
stitution with wonderful preci
H sion. In a very short period, two
4 of the oldest members of the force
§ have been removed from activity
I’ by death, these events making
j many changes necessary in the
I construction of the corps of em
ployees. Both of these men held
responsible positions and had per
formance of these duties raised
to the highest degree of efficiency,
their removal being heavily felt
by the other members. New men,
.however, are taking charge of
; these duties and are doing ^very
well as can be seen by the prompt
and immediate deliveries of all
mails. To help carry out the work
of the carriers Postmaster W.
Whitman has asked the co
operation of all residents of the
city, as they can be of help in
many ways. In informing the
carrier of any change in address
and of visitors whose mail will be
delivered to the regular residents
.home, the patrons will shorten the
work of the men in a most help
ful way.

A very interesting and enjoy
able time was had by the local
Kiwanians at their regular weekly
meeting in the Junior Order Hall,
last Tuesday afternoon. A mock
trial was the feature of the hour.
Louis D. Champion and Henry
Scull, acting as counsel for the
defense and plaintiff, respectively;
Judge C. C. Shinn as presiding
►
judge, and a very able jury suc
ceeded in convicting Doctor Con
over of larceny. Mr. Stanley Zip
pier, delegate to the recent Dis
trict Convention at Asbury Park,
gave a very interesting detailed
report of the proceedings of that
body. T.he proposition of again
bringing into activity in this city
the Boy Scout movement was
brought before the members by
their President Hudson. The plan
is for the Kiwanians to give their
entire support to the movement
and thus give the boys and those
connected with it much encourage
ment. The attendance prize was
won by Dr. T.homas F. Crawford,
being donated by Bert Smith.

Many residents of this city
visited the Ox Roast, staged by
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
in a large field overlooking Shore
Road between this city and Ab
secon, last Saturday evening.
There were very many interest
ing speakers present who were
greatly enjoyed by the gathering.
The Klansmen began gatherng in
the early afternoon but it was
evening before the Ox Roast was
held. It was estimated that about
ten thousand Klansmen and
friends attended the affair. The
meeting was protected from in
trusian by cordons of white-robed
figures and no one gained admit
tance but those holding tickets of
admission. It was announced that
the Klan has taken an option on
two farms in the suburbs of this
city and may build headquarters
upon them.

A very beautiful church wed
ding was solemnized last Satur
day afternoon when Miss Gladys
Pettet, daughter of Rev. W. E.
Pettet, pastor of the Mt. Pleas
ant M. E. Church became the
bride of Lisle E. Gaige, of Hack
ensack. The ceremony was per
formed by the father of the
bride. Miss Sara Bowen and Miss
Almeda Martin, were the brides
maids, being dressed in pink
crepe chiffon with leghorn hats
and carrying bouquets of pink
rose buds. Mr. Everett Anto
nides, of Belmar, was the best
man. After a very enjoyable
reception held in the church rec
reation hall, the happy couple
left for a tour of the New Eng
land States and Canada. On
their return they will reside in
New York City, where the groom
is employed as an electrical en
gineer by the Western Electric
Company. Mr. Gaige is a gradu
ate of Rutgers.

The Department of Commerce
calls attention to the fact that
salt and sand as a means of ex
tinguishing burning gasoline are
no longer approved. Fire extin
guishers of a type approved by
the department must be carried
on all motor boats when being
navigated. If owners will bear
this in mind they will be saved
the payment of a fine.

Class of Wesley M. E. Church 1
meeting, last Thursday evening, 1
the members received an invita- «
tion from the ladies of that order 1

assented and a committee was or
ganized to attend to the affair. (
