PLAYINING SUNDAY BASE BALL
A Resident of West Conshohocken
Wites About It.
To the Recorder: .
I noticed un article printed in last
Tuesday's IFSHO stating that some pen
pie in the borough were opposed to
the boys playing hall on the school
grounds on Sunday and the wrath of
the Church people was aroused
against the practice.
While Woman Suffrage does not
reign in this borough, however I being
a woman wish to state my views, as
a great many questions are asked and
answered always by one individual
without having the townspeople in
general to answer.
The only ball team that I know of
that plays ball on Sunday is St. Uer-rude's
boys and these boys are wholly
under the jurisdiction of their pastor
Rev. Peter A. Quinn, whom I have
already seen at the hall grounds with
some of the most respectable people
that compose the West Borough, and
I know positively th::t these people
are Chinch going people and are at
their duty as early as seven o'clock
on Sunday mornings.
While we are commanded to keep
holy the Sabbath Day, we are not lir-bldden
to play ball, nor to hinder any
of the boys, whose parents are among
the heaviest tax payers in the bor-ough,
to have their pleasure
There fore 1 think it is up to the
School Board to notice these things
and as the boy:: are not on the public
streets, or near any of the Churches
they should be allowed to play ball as
they work every other day, some
times, all day Saturday and If there
are to be papers signed against these
there should bq a paper signed by
those in favor of the 'boys and all
names printed in the Gonshohocken
Recorder and I am sure there would
not be many broad, minded persons,
who would try to rob the boys of
their hard earned pleasure.
I might add we cannot compare the
boys to our selves a.id command them
to rest, as some of us are always
resting, while they have to endure
hardships at their employment in the
mills where scarcely a pure breeze
blows.
While I see they do no harm I
think it a crime to interfere with
their innocent pleasure.
Thanking the editor for this large
space, t am,
Very truly yours,

License Case to be Heard By Court.
Michael G. Harvey, the local ice
cream manufacturer was summoned
before Magistrate O. F. LenharCt, on
Friday morning, in a civil action,
brought by Attorney II. M. Brown-back,
Solicitor for the Borough of
Norriatown, who seeks to compel the
defendant to secure a license for the
vending of his goods in Norristown,
It Is contended that Mr. Harvey
has been repeatedly requested to pro-cure
a license, because he sends sev-eral
delivery trucks to Norristown
with ice cream that is disposed of to
Norristown dealers. He has refused
to comply, claiming that since he
manufactures the product, the law
cannot compel him to take that step.
District Attorney! J. Aubrey An-dorson,
is Harvey's counsel and lie
is now in attendence at the Republi-can
convention in Chicago as a del-gate.
Consequently, it was noces,-
sary to postpone the hearing in the
action until a time to be fixed later
by the attorneys interested.
Magistrate l^enhardt stated, Friday
morning that tho action is a peculiar
one and that he is of the opinion
that it will be used as the busis for
test cases to be brought by the bor-ough
against all dealers who dispose
of their goods in Norristown in a
similar manner.

Interesting Services ot Luther-ans

CANTATA IN THE EVENING
Whitsunday was vo;-, rittinglj cele-brated
in St. Mark's Lutheran church
With special scrvici":. There w.i. a
large attendance at all of the services
and a very good Offering was leceu
BC :n the special envelopes. Tin-days'
worship began at the convening
Of the Sabbath School at 9.80 o'clock,
when the subject oi the outpouring ot
the Holy Spirit was explained by tin
teachers to their clai
At the regular church worship the*
Pastor, Rev. J, T. Fox, preached on
the subject oi "Whitsunday" and what
it should me.au to the Christian
Churches today The choir under t.li-able
leadership of Raymond Phfli
rendered several special selections.
The evening service was conducted
by the Sabbath S.liool at which time
a Cantata, "The June Festal Queen,"
was very well rendered.
Miss Kathryn Marks as Queen per-formed
her san in a very creditable
manner, both in lior appearance as a
Queen and in the rendering of the
parts she had to recite. The Rally,
Sunbeam, Floral Blessing, and Song
Heralds with their many aids perform-ed
their parts in a way as to be un
pressive am. instructive
A vocal solo by Miss May Phflelgor
accompanied by her brother Raymond
Phflelgor on the flute was the offer-ing
of the Song Heralds to the Queen,
which was greatly enjoyed by all. A
flag ilfiil given by ti boys and ti girls
with the i'nited States Christian aad
Conquest Dags was so well rendered
as almost to bring applause from the
audience when they completed their
drill by forming the cross with the
Red, White and ,IMue of their Hags.
The Queen guarded by the Blessing
Heralds with the vested Choir on the
right and tho Bally, Floral and Sun-beam
Heralds on the left and the cross
former in the front made a picture
that could not but touch each person.
After the Queen had given her thanks
to tbfl Heralds and Aids for their as-sistance
in the Children's Day1 ser-vice,
the Floral Aids were sent out to
gather the offering of the evening.
As the appeal of the pastor had been
urgent and very plain as to the needs
of the orphans at l«oyisville, which are
under the care of the Lutheran
church there was a very generous re-sponse,
$y."i being received.
Alter the singing of the hymn,
"Trust in Got:,'" by the entire congre-gation,
the benediction was pronounc-ed,
every one feeling that a very
worthy case the orphans had been
well remembered _by the service and
offerings gi

Strengthening the Old Struc-ture
as a Preparation for
the New
TRESTLES TO HOLD BRIDGE
The first step in the erection of the
new concrete bridge over the Schuyl-kill
River here was taken to clay, when
,i H. Simmers, of Harrisburg and
three assistants, started the work of
bracing the present structure and ar-ranging
so that part of it can be torn
down when the actual erection of the
new bridge is begun.
Mr. Simmers is the foreman for
Whitaker and Diehl, of llarrisburg,
who have the contract for strengthen-ing
the present structure. The tools
arrived yesti rday and the lumber is
expected today.
The work will be started from the
Conshohocken shore and will consist
of L'U bents, with four legs and cap
and sill to each bent. The bent is
four pieces of twelve by twelve yellow
pine timbers which will be driven in
the bed of the river forming a trestle.
On the tops of these bents will be
placed 15 inch iron beams, 32 feet
long, and weighing 6-"> pounds to the
yard. These beams will -be placet!
under the present iron joists anil will
support the bridge.
These supports will be so arranged
that the present bridge can-be shifted
down stream, so taat one-half of the
width of the new concrete bridge can
be built. So that there will be no
interference with travel over tho
bridge while the now concrete struc-ture
is being erected.
It is expected that this work will
take about two months.

POLISH WORKMAN MET
WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Hand Crushed Under Big Tire Press
at the Lee Plant.
A serious accident happened Friday
night about nine o'clock at the tiSS
tire and rubber plant in Spring Mill,
when Wadislaw Mariana, a I'olish
workman in the pressing department,
had his hand badly crushed in a lire
press. The 'member may have to be
amputated and the workman, who re*
sides on Spring Mill avenue, a short
distance fiotn the plant, was taken
to Charity Hospital on Saturday.
The man had been in this borough
only a short time and was a "green"
workman at the Lee plant. He appar-ently
did not quite understand the op-eration
of the lug press, which ex-erts
a pressure of ahout 1000 pounds
upon the tires, as be placed his hand
within it. Just as it closed.
The man screamed In agony, but
quickly retrained his composure, and
when the press had opened so that he
could withdraw his hand, he was the
coolest man in the vicinity.
Dr. J. Quincy Thomas quickly ans-wered
a summons, and found that the
tremendous pressure had crushed the
hand Mat. Big pieces of flesh pro-truded
and had to be cut off. Tin-man
withstood tin-doctor's treatment
with stolid nerve, which aroused 'in-admiration
of those about him, al-though
it was apparent that he was
suffering very much pain. He was
kepi at the plant all night and treat-ed
in the Lee hospital.
Slight Accident.
An automobile accident which might

Montgomery County Pomona
Grange Discusses Question
at East Greenville
TAKING HOLD OF THE WORK
.\t the meeting of the Montgomery
County I'oinon i Grange In East G-reenr
ville, last week an entirely new phrase
of termers endeavor was dlscussof
and a Committee was appointed to
make an investigation into the matter.
This appointment was made after the
one hundred delegates and numbers
of the grange became enthusiastic- ov-er
the idea tis the one Important thing
for the comfort of the farmer's wife
while shopping in the towns of Mont-gomery
County.
As a committee to make a careful
study of the possibilities of a commun-ity
building, rest rooms or waning
rooms, the following were appointed:
E. K. Schuit/., Bast Greenville; H. n.
Allebach, Truppi- am. Fred Rupert,
l'ottstown, R. I). No. 4. Within the
next three months these members are
expected to plan and map out, accord-ia
to puhlic sentiment, the best pos-sible
arrangement of i he idea In ques-tion.
At the Fall meeting of tin- Mont-gomery
County Pomona Grange, at
Cold Point Grange', in September the
committee will be asked to give a re-port
and present tin- matter as they
have found it to the members of the
farmers' organization,.
The members of the committee have
received several suggestions from the
farmers in this section and as a whole
the idea In itself is becoming a popu-lar
one. The exact working of the
idea is of course still in doubt and will
probably not he known until later in
the Summer.
The idea started by the Grangers is
this: To have a community building".
Of a room or rooms in the towns of the
county, such as Norristown. PottS-town,
Lanadale, Tjonshohoclren, East
(iieiii-ville and otlier. where the towns
and the citizc is are progressive eu;
ough to look to the comfort of their
customers, the tanners.
It is the Idea to B*ve all convenien-ces
and ae-comodations for the wom-en.
An exnuip'.e as in instance in
which sttc'i a room or building would
be a popular need is given as follows:
Suppose Mr. Fanner a.ul his wife to-gether
with their children crank up
their automobile or hitch up their
horse and go to the town on business.
Now when ;! lurnnr and his wife go to
town tiny ii.-iially have a considerable
amount of business to transact in a
limited amount of time. The wife may
go to the department store and pur-chase
some goods, then go to the gro:
icery store, the ">c and 10c store and
by the time sin- is finished she finds
that she has a half hour time In which
she had nothing to do bat wait for her
husband who is in other parts attend-ing
to his business. The wife, with
her children, are tired and bgve nO
place to go. Yes they tan wait on the
team or automobile, but if the weather
is cold this kind of idle sitting Is far
from comfortable Some say the,
stores have accomodatlons for wait-ing
and resting purposes. Some stores
have, but in Montgomerj county the
majority have not and f they do, the
average woman will nol care to enter
a store for resting it sin- lias mi other
business to transact.
Now If in that same town, Mrs. Far-mer
haw tin- privilege of g'-'ing to a
warm, well lighted room with comfort-able
chairs, she will remove heC
wraps, take off the baby's outer cloth-es
tind just about that time Mrs Neigh
bor Will come into rest and then a
half hour will pass without any drud-gery
and Mr. and Mrs. Farmer will eu-
Joy their trip home much better. This,
too. will be a'l-advantage to the per-sons
from the towns in he county, who
go to the larger places to do shopping
or business. They will have the same
comforts, while they wait for s Perk*
iomen train or trolley.
t ucli a rest or waiting room for wo-men
could probably be maintained by
a Hoard of Trade, a Town Council or
the business men of the towns or a
combination of the three. The busi-nessman,
who derives ■ direct benefit
from the farmer's visits, should, it is
thought, not hesitate one minute to
give his support to the upkeep of the
room.
For such a room or rooms it will be
necessary to have all home comforts,
water, light heat and the services of
a janior. The rent us well as all' of
these conveniences will be ■ matter
for tne different towns to decide for
themselves and it is these possibili-ties
that the committee is anxious to
learn The members of this commit-tee
are very enthusiastic over the idea
and they will undoubtedly devise sonfe
plans whereby they can get the senti-ment
of the business man and other
bodies of the towns. Needless to say
they have the hearty approval of the
farmers, who are looking to the towns-men
to give thtm the best of treat-ment
and attention for it is the towns-man
of Montgomery county who owe
considerable to the tillers of the soil
in their districts.
