Introduction
Angelo D. Malandra
Angelo D. Malandra was born in Pennsylvania on April 15, 1907 to Charles and Rose Malandra. The family moved to New Jersey sometime between 1912 and 1917. By 1930 the family had moved to 1909 South 4th Street in Camden’s Eighth Ward. Charles Malandra by then had his own tailoring business. After graduating from Camden High School, Angelo Malandra furthered his education. He was attending law school at the time of the 1930 Census. He graduated in June of 1933.
After passing the New Jersey bar Angelo Malandra remained in Camden, where he practiced law and was involved in local politics. He maintained offices in the Wilson Building at Broadway and Cooper Street.
Angelo Malandra was an associate of Felix “Man o’ War” Bocchicchio, best known as World’s Heavyweight Champion Jersey Joe Walcott. Angelo Malandra served as legal counsel for Bocchicchio and Walcott in the late 1940s and 1950s, and later served as Deputy Mayor of the City of Camden, and as a judge. By 1947 he had moved to 1579 Collings Road North, in Fairview. He later moved to 3129 Atlanta Road.
In 1961 Angelo Malandra turned his back on his former political patron, Mayor George E. Brunner and led a slate of seven candidates against him within the Democrat county committee. Angelo Malandra also was a leader in the 1961 campaign that changed Camden’s city government from its City Commission to a Mayor-Council format, effectively undoing the reforms of 1922.
In 1967 Angelo D. Malandra was rewarded for his services to the Democrat party with an appointment to a judgeship by then New Jersey Governor Richard Hughes.
Angelo Malandra died in February of 1973. His daughter, Lynne Malandra Kmiec, made her mark as Democratic chairwoman of Cherry Hill. She headed the Camden County Board of Elections and served as executive director of the Camden County Democratic Committee while George E. Norcross III was party chairman. She also served as chief of staff and political director for Democrat Congressman Rob Andrews.
The Malandra Hall Recreation Center in Fairview is named in his memory.

Extra! Girl Awarded 6 Cents As ‘Playboy’ Breaks Heart
Camden Courier-Post —
A verdict of six cents was awarded against William B. Knight, Jr., in favor of Miss Emma M. Thagen in a breach of promise suit at a moot trial in the Chancery Court room.
The trial was held by the graduating class of the South Jersey Law School with an all male jury in the box and the court room crowded.
Young Knight was described as a playboy by his friends. He declared Miss Thagen once told him that she would never marry him if she wanted a “permanent man.” He said she declared he was all right as a playboy. He denied he ever promised to marry her. He admitted showering her with gifts and took her out twice a week.
Miss Thagen said she gave up Edward A. Finn when she “fell in love with Billie.” She said he always led her to believe they would marry some day. She admitted calling him a “scarecrow once.” The fair plaintiff collapsed when the jury “vindicated” her wounded heart with the verdict.
“Judge” Henry F. Stockwell presided. Knight was represented by Robert Norris, Angelo D. Malandra and Henry Miller. John L. Morrissey and Ellis H. Wood were counsel for Miss Thagen.
Raymond J. Jubanyik was a character witness for Knight. Edward A. Finn and Lawrence Finlayson testified for Miss Thagen. F. De Witt Kay acted as sheriff and John F. Rogers was clerk of the court.
The jurors were Henry Wille, foreman; Samuel Singer, Joseph McCullough, Walter W. Evans, John Kerrigan, Harold W. Kotlikoff, Mitchell Stern, Charles Hale, Robert Landis, Fred Streng, Elmer Bertman and Joseph Liebeman.
The constables were Wiedner Titzck, Theodore T. French, Samuel T. French, Jr., William G. Freeman and George A. Streltz.
Elmer G. Van Name, president of the college, was among the interested spectators. The trial was given under the direction of Professor Edward L. Platt, associate dean.

Italian-Americans Deny Any ‘Bolt’
Camden Courier-Post —
Club Adviser Denounces Story of ‘Switch’ to G.O.P. in Collingswood
“Collingswood’s Italian-American citizens are solidly united in support of the re-election of President Roosevelt and the election of the whole Democratic ticket, and any contrary reports are vicious lies spread maliciously to injure our Democratic candidates.”
Angelo D Malandra, legal adviser of the Italian-American Democratic Club, made that statement yesterday in refuting a recent article which appeared in a Collingswood weekly newspaper and which was headed “Local Italians Bolt New Deal.”
Malandra said a thorough canvass contradicts the statements in the weekly newspaper because it shows that the Democratic party in Collingswood is certain of “the greatest Democratic vote ever polled” in that borough
“The Italian-American Democratic Club of Collingswood emphatically denies a recent article which appeared in the South Jersey News, stating ‘Local Italians Bolt New Deal,’” Malandra said. “It is a vicious lie. It is the most atrocious and foul piece of propaganda ever published. It is the weakest defense, the poorest retaliation possible against the overwhelming support we will give to President Roosevelt and the entire Democratic ticket.
‘We are 100 percent for President Roosevelt. This is evidenced by the display of flags, banners, photographs of the President, stickers on all of our cars and placards in all of our windows. A thorough canvass of Collingswood has been made and we are assured of the greatest Democratic vote ever polled in Collingswood.
“Because of the sincere loyalty and co-operation on our part, the Republicans have been left at the post and propaganda of this type only tends to prove that for the first time they are frightened at the thought of losing Collingswood.
“On Nov. 3 we shall all go to the polls and vote the straight Democratic ticket. We shall support Guy Lee, Jr., candidate for Congress; Bartholomew Sheehan, Harry Roye, and Henry Lodge, candidates for the Assembly, and Dr. Ernest Larossa, candidate for coroner.”
Waiter Convicted in Shore Vice Trial
Camden Courier-Post —
Defendant Awaits Sentence for Placing 2 Girls in Disorderly House
A U. S. District Court jury last night found James Orvin, a waiter in an Atlantic City night club, guilty of violating the Mann Act by transporting two women for immoral purposes.
The case, one of many growing out of sensational raids by G-men in Atlantic City, was heard before Judge John Boyd Avis. The jury deliberated less than two hours. Orvin was remanded to the Camden county jail to await sentence.
Orvin was charged with transporting Katherine Lenosky, alias Nadia Yawgel, and Helen Sawyer, alias Helen O’Brien, from New York to Atlantic City last August and placing them in a house of prostitution.
William F. Smith, assistant U. S. attorney, said Orvin went to New York, stayed at Nadia’s apartment and as a result the next day took both girls to Atlantic City. Smith charged Orvin purchased their railroad tickets and less than 24 hours later they were in a house.”
Dr. Herman Klein, a physician, told of examining both girls in the disorderly house on August 17 and 19. The Lenosky girl was called next.
She testified that she had been a prostitute for a year and a half and first met Orvin in a disorderly house some time before going to Atlantic City with him. On cross examination by Angelo Malendra [sic], Orvin’s lawyer, she admitted she never gave Orvin any money.
“When you were in jail,” Malendra [sic] asked, “didn’t you tell me that Orvin thought you were going to Atlantic City to be a waitress?”
“Yes,” the girl replied, “I told you that then because I was trying to save Orvin. But I know now he can’t be saved and I’m not going to perjure myself.”
“As a matter of fact, you’ve told four different stories, haven’t you?” the attorney inquired.
“Yes,” answered the witness.
Earl J. Wynn, a government agent who led the raids, testified that Orvin gave him a signed statement in which he admitted he took the girls from New York to Atlantic City knowing that they were disorderly houses inmates. He said Orvin wrote into the statement that he never received any money from the girls or from the house where they worked.
Orvin, in his own defense, admitted taking the girls to Atlantic City but said he merely allowed them to ride with him when he was going to the shore resort to return to work as a waiter. He said that when they arrived there, he took them to a night club and then obtained a room for them at a friend’s house.
The next day, he said, one of the girls told him she was going to work in a disorderly house. He attempted to persuade her to give up the job but she refused, Orvin said.
Born Gives Up With 2 Others In Vice Cases
Camden Courier-Post —
Born Gives Up With 2 Others In Vice Cases
Levy and Kissel Join In Surrender; Bail Set for All Three
Former Deputy Sheriff Ray Born, of Atlantic county; Leo J. Levy, former chief investigator for Mayor Charles D. White, of Atlantic City, and Louis Kissel, bodyguard and aide of Enoch L. Johnson, Atlantic county Republican leader, who were indicted by the Federal grand jury in Trenton Friday on charges of conspiracy to violate the Mann White Slave Act, surrendered in Atlantic City last night.
Accompanied by former State Sen. Emerson L. Richards, counsel for Born and Kissel, the men appeared in the office of U.S. Commissioner C. Bruce Surran, who fixed bail for Levy at $2500 and for the others at $1500 each. All provided bail. They will appear in Federal Court to plead to the indictments at a date to be fixed later. Frederic M. P. Pearse, of Newark, Democratic attorney, is counsel for Levy.
The commissioner said arrangements for bail were made through a letter and instructions from Assistant U.S. District Attorney William F. Smith, who presented Atlantic City vice cases to the federal grand jury.
Sentences and a change in one plea occupied the opening session of U. S. District court here yesterday when Judge John Boyd Avis returned after a week’s illness to resume the Atlantic City vice trials.
Longest sentence—18 months—was inflicted on Anthony Denza, 37, of Atlantic City, who previously pleaded guilty to transporting a girl there from Philadelphia.
Second Offense
Although it was his second offense Judge Avis said he took into consideration a statement by Smith that Denza had been of considerable help to the prosecution.
James Orvin, former waiter in the French Casino at New York, and the Ritz Carlton in Atlantic City, was sentenced to a year and a day on a similar charge after his attorney, Angelo Malandra, made a plea of leniency.
Malandra pointed out that Orvin, who was convicted 10 days ago, had passed all examinations and was on the waiting list for appointment to the New York City police, and insisted Orvin had not taken the girl to Atlantic City to place her in a disorderly house.
Robert Hall, 33, of 242 South New Hampshire avenue, was fined $500 and Manny Kinwald, 22, of 28 South Connecticut avenue, both Atlantic City, were fined $500 and $300 respectively and placed on five years’ probation each.
In the case of Kinwald, his lawyer, Carl Kisselman, pleaded that the young man never had placed his girl in a house of prostitution but had been “framed” by a wealthy man who wanted her for himself and who is now living with her.
Henry A. Crist, with Rose McLaughlin, was scheduled to go on trial charged with transporting a woman. But at the opening of court Crist’s counsel, Frank M. Lario, announced after a conference with his client, that Crist would change his plea of not guilty. He will be sentenced later.
The McLaughlin woman is alleged to have been the proprietress of a disorderly house, while Crist is accused of transporting girls from Pennsylvania to Atlantic City for immoral purposes.

Pinball Shooting Suspect Is Held
Camden Courier-Post —
Police Now Claim Gunplay Was Aftermath of Fight at Roadhouse
Detectives yesterday arrested a man in the shooting of Joseph Osinski, 21, of 1162 Mt. Vernon street, and announced they had discarded the theory Osinski may have been the victim of a war between pinball machine distributors.
Theodore S. Malina, of 1096 Thurman street, was arrested on suspicion of being a material witness to atrocious assault and battery by Detectives Thomas Murphy and Clifford Carr. The policemen indicated they were searching for another man.
Malina was beaten early Monday in a roadhouse outside the city by Osinski and a companion, the detective said. They explained Malina was arrested for questioning in the shooting, and said “so far the questioning has proved satisfactory.”
Shortly after the man’s arrest, an attorney, Angelo Malandra, appeared at detective headquarters with a writ of habeas corpus. The writ, however, was directed to the police chief, and was not served on the detectives.
Malandra said he will appear with the writ today, directing the police chief to bring Malina before Judge Clifford Baldwin to show why he should not be released.
Osinski was struck on the mouth by one thug and shot in the leg by another as he lay on a couch in the rear of the R. & M. Amusement Company Office at 1140 Louis street Monday afternoon. The company distributes pinball machines.
The scene of the shooting at first led police to believe Oskinski [sic] might have been wounded by rival pinball machine distributors.
Koerner Made Police Chief; Carroll, Mattison Promoted
Camden Courier-Post —
NAMED CHIEF of the Camden police department today, Captain Gustav Koerner, a 26-year veteran of the department and one time baseball player, is shown receiving the congratulations of Public Safety Director Aaron. A native of Camden, Chief Koerner succeeds George H. Frost [sic], who resigned Jan. 1, 1948. Capt. Samuel Johnson had been acting chief since then.
Johnson, Garrity Move as Aaron Shifts Officers
Capt. Gustav Koerner, youngest of six men holding that rank in the department, today was named Camden police chief.
Public Safety Director Aaron announced the appointment and the 53-year-old Koerner, a member of the department 26 years, was sworn in by County Judge Sheehan in Aaron’s office.
At the same time, Director Aaron announced the promotion of Detective Capt. Edward Carroll, 56, to police inspector, and the promotion of Lieut. Walter Mattison, 63, to captain, replacing Chief Koerner in command of the first police district and police headquarters.
Both were sworn in by Mrs. Mary MacClennan, acting city clerk.
Transfers Announced
Aaron also announced the following transfers, effective Dec. 1:
Capt. John Garrity, from chief clerk of the police bureau, to command of the Third Police District, vacant since the retirement on pension two weeks ago of Capt. Richard Cornog.
Capt. Samuel Johnson, who has been acting police chief since the resignation Jan. 1, 1948 of Chief George H. Frost [sic], to command of the detective bureau, succeeding Carroll.
Capt. Walter Rowand, 56, one of those made eligible for the appointment as chief by civil service tests, will continue in charge of the second police district, Director Aaron said, and Capt. Nathan Petit, 57, another eligible for the appointment, will remain in charge of the traffic bureau.
More than 100 police and firemen attended the ceremony at which Chief Koerner was sworn in, including Patrolman Frank Call, president of Local 35, Police Benevolent Association. Others included Deputy Mayor Malandra, acting for Mayor Brunner who was unable to attend; Freeholder Ewing and Captain of County Detectives James J. Mulligan.
After administering the oath, Judge Sheehan shook hands with Chief Koerner and said:
“I am certain that you will demonstrate your unquestionable integrity and courage in your new office and add lustre to our police department.”
Says Selection Difficult
Selection of Koerner over Captain Petit and Captain Rowand, Director Aaron said, was “an extremely difficult one to make.”
“All three captains,” the director said, “are my personal friends, and have been for many years. I considered each of them well qualified for the job of police chief. In naming Captain Koerner, however, I took into consideration his age and his excellent physical condition.”
The civil service tests in which the three qualified for appointment were taken after Chief Frost resigned. Koerner outpointed the other two, receiving an average of 78.5 percent against 76.3 for Petit and 74.3 percent for Rowand.
Captains Garrity, Johnson and Carroll did not take the examinations.
As head of the department, Chief Koerner will be paid at the rate of $4425, the present salary of police chief, until Jan. 1, when, through the increase approved at the Nov. 8 election, he will receive $4885 a year. His captain’s salary was $3500 a year.
On Force 32 Years
The promotion for Captain Mattison not only was a reward for 32 years of service in the department but also brought him a salary increase from the rate of $3220 a year, the present scale for lieutenants, to $3500, the rate for captains. After the first of the year, he will receive $3960 a year.
Director Aaron said he did not know whether Inspector Carroll will draw a greater salary than that allowed captains. The city has not had a police inspector since the late Inspector Charles L. Humes Sr. [sic], retired Jan. 1, 1933.
Police Chief Koerner, a native of Camden, is one of 10 children of the late Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Koerner. His father for many years was an engraver employed by the Theodore Presser Co., music publishing firm of Philadelphia.
Directed Detectives
Educated in public schools, Koerner was appointed to the police department June 16, 1923, and after a probationary period, was assigned to the motorcycle squad. He was named a sergeant in September, 1930, and a lieutenant in November, 1941. Shortly after the latter appointment, he was placed in charge of the detective bureau, a post he held when named a captain in April, 1943, and continued to hold until placed in charge of the First district.
He is married and lives with his wife, Mary, at 807 Haddon avenue. He is a member of the Lutheran Church and has been active in the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association practically from its start here.
Played Baseball in Youth
As a youth, Chief Koerner played sandlot baseball in East Camden and later, as an infielder, played with several teams in the old Eastern Shore League. On receiving his police appointment, he played with the Camden police team in the Penn-Jersey League.
He has never relinquished his interest in baseball and at present is chairman of the Police Athletic League which sponsors sports for teen-agers.
Koerner had the appointment once before, Dr. David S. Rhone naming him chief last Oct. 28 a few hours after Rhone was removed as public safety director and Aaron assigned that department of the city government. The appointment, however, was cancelled the following day.
Chief Koerner was cleared of three charges of misconduct in office a year ago by a ruling of Judge Sheehan in Camden county court. The charges grew out of his alleged failure as head of the detective bureau to question persons whose names were found in a notebook on the body of Frank Luggi, who was murdered Dec. 31, 1946.
Veteran of War I
Inspector Carroll, who lives at 427 Lansdowne avenue, has had 27 years service in the department, being appointed on July 14, 1922. He was promoted to sergeant in April, 1930; to lieutenant, October, 1941, and to captain, March 23, 1943. He is a veteran of World War I. Previously to being placed in charge of the detective bureau in December, 1947, he commanded the Second Police District and prior to that, the headquarters division.
Captain Mattison lives at 541 Washington street and was appointed a patrolman on April 11, 1917. He was promoted to sergeant Aug. 1, 1929, the rank he held for 14 years before being named a lieutenant on March 23, 1943. He commanded the First District for several years but without the rank of captain and for the last two years, has been in command of police headquarters.
134 Years of Service
Captains Johnson, Petit, Rowand and Garrity—all veterans of the department—have a combined service of more than 134 years, with Captain Johnson, who is 70, topping each of them with almost 40 years of service, receiving his appointment to the department in April, 1910.
Captain Petit, who is 57, was appointed a patrolman in April, 1917; Rowand, in December of that year, and Captain Garrity, in January, 1919, after serving six years as a member of the fire department.
Last August, Captain Petit was suspended for 28 days after he had been charged with violating a police regulation forbidding police to hold outside employment. He was accused of doing traffic work for a construction company during the building of the Baird boulevard overpass.
Capt. Garrity was indicted along with Director Rhone and Chief Frost in connection with the Van Riper probe of police laxity and gambling charges two years ago but was exonerated along with Rhone when their indictments were nolle prossed last May 13 by Prosecutor Cohen. Frost was acquitted by a directed verdict three days previously.

Drop-a-Buck Club Organizes Drive To Aid Needy Families at Christmas
Camden Courier-Post —
Santa Gets Early Start:
The first phase of the program to raise Christmas funds for needy families of the city through the Drop-a-Buck Club went into operation Thursday when a group of volunteers started distribution of collection containers to the taverns of the city.
The Drop-a-Buck Club, which has been caring for the Christmas needs of under-privileged families of the city since 1949, plans to distribute similar containers to business houses, factories and other public buildings in the area.
Distribution of the containers to the taverns has been backed by the Camden Beverage and Restaurant Association.
The association has volunteered to sponsor a dinner for officers and charter members of the Drop-a-Buck Club to form a kickoff for the 1953 fund campaign. The dinner will be held Dec. 1 at Kenney’s Restaurant.
Everything Donated
Distribution of the containers is being carried out by a group of volunteers headed by Walter N. Carley, Leon B. Niewinski, Jules Kornberger, Thomas Kenney Sr. and Albert Kornberger.
The jar containers, printing and decorations were all donated. Taking part in the donations were Police Capt. Anthony Skolski, Patrolman Joseph Lack, Carter Paper Co., Walter Heim and Samuel Payne.
Deputy Mayor Angelo Malandra, chairman of the Drop-a-Buck Club drive committee, announced today that William Rohrer, Chevrolet auto dealer and a member of the board of trustees for the club, has volunteered space for campaign headquarters. Rohrer has offered the club the use of a new showroom on Federal st. at 15th.
“This generous offer by Bill Rohrer,” Malandra said, “is typical of the volunteer support given by citizens of the community from all walks of life to the Drop-a-Buck Club drive.”
More Families in Need
“From all indications, this year will reveal more families in need of help for Christmas since the club started in 1949.
“We are prepared to do our job, but we need the entire support of the community.”
Malandra said a special meeting of the officers and trustees of the club will be held at the drive headquarters next Friday to launch the fund drive.
Officers of the Drop-a-Buck Club for the 1953 campaign, in addition to Malandra, are Joseph J. McComb, chairman of the Central Labor Union, vice chairman, and Lawrence J. Wisely, of The Courier-Post, secretary-treasurer.
Frank H. Ryan, editor of The Courier-Post, is chairman of the board of trustees, which is composed of William A. Stretch, general manager and treasurer of The Courier-Post; Director of Public Safety Aaron, Deputy Director of Public Affairs Garrity, William Rohrer, mayor of Haddon Township; Edward Goldsmith, manager of Yellow Cab Co.; Welfare Director Logan, Police Inspector Willard Schriver, John McCloskey and Dominic Sasso, labor leaders; William J. Myles, Edward Brewer, Julian Masso and Thomas Kenney Sr.

More than 60 patients afflicted with polio this year, as well as past polio cases, have received treatment at the Camden Municipal Hospital, treatment made possible by past contributions to the March of Dimes. Your money has saved the lives of countless people; countless others need your help.”

In behalf of Veteran Boxers Association - Ring No. 6, I wish to extend our thanks and appreciation for the help and cooperation we have received through the years. We are celebrating our 13th Annual Banquet and it is gratifying to know that we are progressing steadily forward, for the Veteran Boxers and for the good of our city in which we live.
We are a non-profit organization, our past and present is a matter of record, we have worked and our contribution was greatly appreciated by the Drop-a-Buck Club; we sponsor a team in the Morgan Village Little League; last year we fared four buses of boys over to the Phillies ball park; we take care of our own when they are down, and work to curb juvenile delinquency, for our motto is “One For All - All For One”.
Tonight we are doing honor to one of our own - a Camden boy - Frankie Conway.
I wish to thank the chairman of this banquet, Lew Skymer and two co-chairmen, Frankie Rapp and Pee Wee Ross and the rest of the committee for a job well-done.
I also like to thank our advertisers, patrons, boosters and everyone that has lent their assistance to make this affair a success.
So let us break bread, have joy and merriment, and hope you all have a happy time, and that we may all look forward to meeting again in the future.
Thanks to you all from all of us,
JOE (Kid) MURPHY
President, Ring No. 6
“OUR MAN OF THE YEAR”
Our Guest of Honor, Frankie Conway was born in Camden on November 3, 1900 and in his pre-teen days when he wasn’t selling newspapers down at the Pennsylvania Ferry, he was either playing on one of the city playgrounds, or boxing with the neighborhood kids in some back yard, or in the street. At the age of fifteen, after having a dozen or so amateur bouts, Frankie boxed his first professional bout with Kid Dougherty at the Douglas A. C. in Philadelphia and after six tough rounds he received the handsome sum of $5.00. Now Frankie thought that was better and much quicker than selling papers. He sometimes didn’t earn that much in a week standing outside in all kinds of weather.
So Frankie embarked on a boxing career that took him from one town to another meeting the top contenders in both the bantamweight and featherweight classes. Among some of his bouts were the rough and tough Whitey Fitzgerald, Benny Valger, Harry “Kid” Brown, Bennie Kauffman, Battling Murray, Frankie Jerome, Maxie Williamson and the Gloucester blacksmith, K. O. Joe O’Donnell (a few of these old timers are here tonight).
After almost ten years of boxing and close to 200 bouts and in the early part of 1924, Frankie was not yet 24 years old, when he had the misfortune of losing the sight in his left eye, and shortly after, the same happened to his right eye. Several operations by the best eye specialists in New York proved futile. But Frankie didn’t give up . . . being young and ambitious, he tried his hand in the cafe and night club business and today he is the proud owner of the 11 O’Clock Club at 18 West Cuthbert Boulevard in Westmont.
The petite gal that you see with him constantly is his lifetime manager, trainer and wife who before she became Mrs. Conway, was the former Maude B. Stiles.
Also here tonight are his two sisters, Mrs. Louise Ricciardelli of Westmont and Mrs. Della Uhorchek of Trenton and brother Tony, also of Westmont.
And this in brief, is the story of our Honorary President, the Champion of Champions. Yes, we of V. B. A. - Ring No. 6, are indeed proud and greatly gratified to have you Frankie Conway as “OUR MAN OF THE YEAR - 1961”.
God Bless You!

We Remember When . . .
Your names are on our Clubhouse wall under the word “Deceased”. At every meeting your names are read aloud while we stand in a moment of silence to your memory.
You were a paid up member when you retired from this life.
You may be the fellow who said we couldn’t last.
The one who paid his dues faithfully, whose job would not permit him to attend our meetings.
The chap with all the ideas, who, was too busy to serve on any committee.
The quiet fellow with the pipe, who was always willing to help.
Or the guy who was sure to jump up and say, “I’m against it, it won’t work!” but he put forth every effort to make sure it did work, because it was for the good of the organization.
The member who always promised to do it, but didn’t always get around to it.
You may have been the champ or the preliminary boy. The good member, faithful in attendance and always ready to help. The lax one who would come around once in a while.
Big man in the community, small fish in a big pond but we who remain standing say . . .
May You Rest In Peace

5 Juveniles Arrested in Plant Blaze
Camden Courier-Post —
N. Camden Boys
Five North Camden boys are in the Camden County Children’s Shelter at Lakeland following their arrests yesterday in connection with Sunday’s general-alarm fire at a vacant leather tanning plant at Second and Erie Streets.
The boys, between the ages of 11 and 14, all live in the vicinity of the waterfront plant, police said.
Three of the juveniles are charged with malicious burning; two, with trespassing.
Face Judge Malandra
They will be arraigned before Camden County Juvenile Court Judge Angelo D. Malandra.
Camden Police Lt. John Giletto, head of the juvenile division, said the boys told police they and other juveniles had been using the former John R. Evans Co. plant as a clubhouse.
They said they panicked and fled when a fire they started in the building Sunday got out of control, Giletto said.
Possibly $200,000
The building’s owner, Thomas Greiff, president of Greiff Trucking Co. of Brooklyn, N.Y., placed his loss at between $100,000 and $200,000, according to City Fire Marshal Harold Pike.
Greiff said there was no insurance on the building, Pike said.
Fireman Thomas DiBiaso, 36, who was injured fighting the blaze, was in fair condition in Cooper Hospital.
