Sunday CoastingOut o f t h e coasting difficulties of last

Sunday there ar ise two points that areclear: the f ir st i s that boys will beboys and w il l c oa st whe th er t he re isa blocked off street o r n ot j and second, that it is imperative that someprotection be given them when they docoast. Incidental ly, the presence ofpolice authority wil1 effectually checka ny s uc h exhibitions of rowdyism l1S

occurred last Sunday.

The borough has let it be known thatSunday coas t ing on Es sex avenue willno t be allowed in the fut ure due tothe annoyance to t he t he s er vi ce s a tt he Me thodi s t Chu rch. This is a fairregulation, and furthermore it cannotbe expect ed that t he b or ou gh wor kmen who erectand demol ish the barracades can come on du ty s eve ra l t imesa day to p rovi de coas ti ng t her e i n between church times.

The only alternative s eems t o be tou se some other street. Sabine avenUe,for example, between Homewood andEssex, has beensuggested as an unders " ldy t o Essex. 1 he coas t would notbe a s l on g it is true, but there is apretty fair hill and h as b ee n u sed b ysever al boys who r ecommended it inglowing terms.
