II grew up at 422 Mickle Street and left in March 1953 to join the Air Force. At that time there was very little crime in the neighborhood. Jersey Joe Walcott lived at 331 Mickle Street, when he because World Heavy Weight Champion. Yes, the numbers was played and law enforcement looked the other way. Mayor Brunner was in office for many years and was a big time poker player. When I was 12 years old, he played at 3rd and Berkley in a place called 3rd Ward Social Club. Big time players came there from far away places to play in this game. Mayor Brunner was always escorted by policeman to and from. I earned very big tips from the players, by riding up on my bicycle to the White Tower to pick up food and drinks, in the wee hours of the morning. Ted

Announcement of the plan to equip and open a 30-bed dormitory for women and girls, where rooms will be obtainable at a low price, was made yesterday by Rev. John S. Hackett, pastor of Wiley Church, 635 South Third Street, and founder and superintendent of Wiley Mission in the old post office building at Third and Arch Streets. "The home for girls will be located at 523 South Third Street," Rev. Hackett said. "It will be the first of its kind in Camden, and probably in South Jersey. Mrs. Wallace, Lee, registered nurse connected with the mission, will be in charge. Girls will be able to obtain sleeping quarters for a few cents a night. "On the board of directors will be Mrs. Emma. Messick, Mrs. William, Richardson, Mrs. Henry H. Bell, Mrs. Harry Bickler, Mrs. Harry Rose and Mrs. Hackett. One-third of the amount needed to equip the building was donated shortly after first announcement of the plan was made during our usual Sunday afternoon broadcast." |

I walked down Joint Alley as a youth thousands of times. It was about one block from our barber shop. It was a small alley street running from 3rd to 4th Street between Cherry and Spruce. It has a very interesting history and was the residence of a popular Camden figure- Johnny Carroll- who rented horses and wagons to Camden City before Camden had its own fleet. He also had a beautiful tavern, for its time, and some beautiful girls, as I am told by my brothers. Where the red building is used to be a candy store owned by Mr. Abbott. Most children would stop there on their way to school in the morning and after lunch for one-penny candy. The gray building across the alley on the right is where Mr. Carroll had his saloon & stables. Enrico

Family Needs Clothing To the Editor: Sir-I am a mother of eight children who are in dire need of clothing. There are five girls ranging in age from two to 12 years. They are in need of underwear, dresses and coats. They are of thin built and small features. The two year old are twins-boy and girl. The boys are in need of shirts and pants, the oldest boy, 15, is in long pants, the next 10 years. We are on relief and cannot expect much clothing for a large family like this. I would appreciate any help that can be given. I will gladly call for anything, anywhere. MRS.
