May Go to Trenton The annual community outing this year may, be taken to lawn Park, Trenton, if the and Council take favorable action on the matter at their meeting on Monday night. The mayor's committee that makes arrangements under the direction of Coach Fitzpatrick, has been informed that the management of the park will rent all of the amusem*nts to the outing committee for $350, so that the children may use the slides, pool, merry-go-round and other amusem*nts as often as they desire. In former years the outing to Belvidere Beach cost close to $1,500 to finance. The money was contributed by the business men and others interested in giving the children a good time.

There has been a feeling abroad that the business depression will make it impossible for the soliciting committee to raise sufficient funds for the outing. However, as a number of generous offers have been made it is the opinion of several people that the money can be raised if soliciting is done among the parents whose small children a are taken free of cost. A assessment of $1 from each family in South River with the amount that will be contributed by the business men and benevolent friends of the children, will be sufficient to pay the entire cost of the trip. Judging from the experience of former years, it will take 40 covered buses to convey the children to the place of amusem*nt. Commencement The annual commencement exercises of St.
