ROCCO PALESE was born July 4, 1893 to Domenico and Luicia Palese in Garaguso, Italy. His family came to America in 1898 and had come Camden by 1906. Domenico Palese was the working as a bartender. The family at that time lived at 318 Cherry Street. By 1910 the family had moved to 266 Pine Street. Domenico Palese by this time was the proprietor of a bar of his own. Rocco Palese attended the Richard Fetters Elementary School and the Manual Training & High School before attending law school.
When the City Directory was compiled in 1914, Domenico Palese was running the bar at 400 Mechanic Street and lived there with his family. Frank Viggiano having succeeded him at 266 Pine. Young Rocco Palese was working as a notary public at 319 Market Street. By 1917 Domenico Palese had bought the bar at 900 South 4th Street. This property would remain in the family into the 1940s, and later was the home of the Sons of Italy Vittorio Veneto Lodge No. 1378. 400 Mechanic Street was operated by the Niewinski family as Niewinski's Cafe through at least 1947.
Rocco Palese was admitted to the New Jersey Bar in February of 1917. He went to work for prominent Camden attorney Albert S. Woodruff. When it was time to register for the draft, on June 5, 1917 Rocco Palese was living at 900 South 4th Street.
Rocco Palese was the first Italian-American in Camden County to be admitted to the bar. The community held a banquet in his hone on May 29, 1917. After serving in the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant during World War I, he returned to Camden and the practice of law. Rocco Palese married Margaret Kelly on June 28, 1922.
He was active politically, and served as a New Jersey State Assemblyman. His wife, Margaret K. Palese, was also very involved in the civic affairs of Camden, active in the P.T.A. and other civic organizations. Courier-Post journalist Dan McConnell cited her as Camden's "1939 Woman of the Year" in his December 30, 1939 column.
By 1930, Rocco and Margaret Palese were living in the Parkside section of Camden, at 1462 Wildwood Avenue, a block where several prominent families in Camden's legal and business community resided. Neighbors included the Auerbach and Heine families. The City Directory for that year also states that his law office was at 328 Market Street. Rocco Palese was serving as a judge for Camden County by the spring of 1950.
By 1959, Rocco Palese had moved to the then new Cherry Hill Apartments on Route 38. His law practice then had offices at 716 Market Street in Camden, and his son, Domenick Donald Palese had joined him as a lawyer. Both Rocco Palese and Domenick Donald Palese served as judges. The law practice had by 1970 moved to 814 Federal Street. Rocco Palese retired sometime after that, as he is no longer listed in the New Jersey Bell Telephone Directories as practicing law by 1977.
Rocco Palese passed away peacefully in his sleep in February of 1987. His wife Margaret joined him in July of the same year.

Charles Pinto, 28, of 230 Benson Street, who is wanted as a material witness against Garfield Del Duca, former proprietor of the Ringside Inn, was still at large last night.
Pinto fled from Criminal Court Thursday while county Detective Fiore Troncone was on his way to the office of Justice of the Peace William F. Laird after Assistant Prosecutor Rocco Palese had ordered his arrest.
Palese alleges Pinto suddenly failed, to remember he had confessed that Del Duca was one of his companions when four automobiles, were stolen '10 years ago.' Palese said somebody had talked to Pinto before he went on the witness stand.
The police believe Pinto is hiding in Philadelphia. Del Duca's trial resumes Monday.

Free After 46 Days 'Extra Time'
Declared to have been illegally detained in Camden County jail, Henry Luellowitz, 28, of Los Angeles, who posed as Floyd Gibbons, was ordered released yesterday by Judge Samuel M. Shay.
A writ of habeas corpus, served at the office of Sheriff E. Frank Pine, charged Luellowitz had been kept prisoner 46 days after his 90-day sentence had expired. The man was sentenced June 13, by Police Court Judge Pancoast, on a charge of impersonating the famed radio announcer after his arrival here by plane.
He was detained following expiration of his sentence, on a detainer from New Haven, Connecticut, where he was accused of having defaulted payment of a hotel bill.
According to Rocco Palese, assistant prosecutor, and Chief of County Detectives Lawrence T. Doran, Luellowitz was held in connection with an investigation of the escape from jail of Albert Rumford, 23, of Philadelphia. The latter cut his way from a cell adjoining Luellowitz last August 17.
Calls Case Outrage
In dismissing the prisoner, Judge Shay declared the case was "an outrage," ruling that the man was kept "through somebody's oversight." Luellowitz criticized the prosecutor's office upon his release, saying his detention was occasioned by his refusal to "become a goat in the investigation of Rumford's escape." He praised prison attaches and Warden Edmund B. Powell, for treatment accorded him in the jail.
Frank M. Lario, attorney, who started proceedings to affect Luellowitz' release, told Judge Shay yesterday that the man had been detained without a hearing after his sentence had expired. He charged that following service of the writ last week, Luellowitz was rushed by county detectives to the office of Peter J. Wallace, justice of the peace, and then recommitted to his cell.
Judge Shay sent for Justice of the Peace Wallace who admitted he ordered the man's commitment after a hearing at which only the detectives appeared as witnesses.
The jurist declared he was convinced Luellowitz had been kept in jail through oversight of someone.
"The New Haven authorities have had ample time to come for the man. I don't care now whether they want him or not. This man cannot be punished for some one's negligence. I order his release immediately."
Says He Was 'Goat'
Following his dismissal, Luellowitz said he had been questioned about the escape of Rumford, alleged bandit, for whose capture the county has offered a $200 reward. Luellowitz and another inmate were said to have made noise while the jailbreak was being made.
"It's an outrage, the way I was treated by the prosecutor's office. Warden Powell and the jailers were mighty nice but the prosecutor and sheriff wanted to have a goat when that guy escaped and I was the first one they reached for.
"But I wasn't going to let them make a goat of me. It wasn't my fault if they didn't have enough jailors there and they couldn't blame me if that guy got away."
Assistant Prosecutor Palese said Luellowitz was detained because he was suspected of having aided Rumford to escape. He admitted the man was not legally committed.

Palese Peddles Tickets For His Own Testimonial
Selling tickets for his own testimonial dinner is a distinction enjoyed by Assistant Prosecutor Rocco Palese.
The dinner, arranged as a testimonial to "the Polish Ambassador," proved a surprise to Palese last night when 28 friends, members of the "Srelsihc Club," let him share the secret in Hotel Walt Whitman.
The dinner, among other reasons, was tendered him because he was the only member of the club to put together a Courier-Post "Hi-Ho" puzzle. For a week prior to the affair he sold tickets to friends, not knowing the affair was in his honor.
With former Judge John B. Kates as toastmaster, wit and repartee passed the festive board, while entertainment was furnished by Bobby Heath and Billy James, famous writers of popular songs.
Those who did honor to Palese are: Judge Kates, Prosecutor Clifford A. Baldwin, Chief of County Detectives Lawrence T. Doran, John R. DiMona, Carl Kisselman, Herbert H. Blizzard, Robert Brest, Charles F. Knapp, Edward V. Martino, William Freeman, William Duby, Louis J. Gale, Edward Gorman, John J. Fitzgerald, City Commissioner Clay W. Reesman, Anthony Maltesta, F. J. Haws, Edward Neuman, Clifford Stratton, Jules Derowski, Bronislaw Derowski, Richard Troncone, T. Harry Rowland, William F. Lehman, William McDonald, Judge Frank F. Neutze and Robert W Saeger.

Bobby Brest says he will demand a handicap from "District Attorney" Rocco Palese next time they play golf... Rocco winning five out of the last six games but Jack McCarroll says he can take them both if he had two broken arms .... So What Do You Think?

'Numbers' Slips
Just Ain't They're Only Timetables!
Believe it or not, but slips such as those used by numbers lottery players and patrons are really not numbers slips at all- they are train schedules! At least, that was the contention of one Washington Nixon, of Philadelphia, a porter in Broad Street station.
Nixon so well presented his version of what the slips really are used for- at least the slips found in his possession- that a jury, out an hour, returned a verdict of not guilty yesterday afternoon before Judge Samuel M. Shay in Criminal Court.
Nixon was arrested in a raid at 1017 South Second Street last December 2. Besides number slips, $15 in pennies, nickels, and dimes was found in his possession, according to police testimony.
demanded a jury trial and then proceeded to explain to the jurors,
holding several slips aloft, the real meaning of the slips found on
him. One slip, marked 10 in a corner and bearing a list of other
numbers, he explained, meant that trains bearing those numbers were due
to arrive on track number 10. Likewise, two other slips, each marked 5
in the corner and bearing other numbers on it, which have always been
regarded as nothing but numbers slips, also meant that trains bearing
those numbers would arrive on that track. Unperturbed by the laughter
of everybody in the court-
"How do you explain the small change found on you?" asked Assistant Prosecutor Rocco Palese.
"Oh, they were tips," said Nixon, "tips from the Army and Navy crowd- and what cheap tips they give!"
"The generals and the admirals didn't tip so well last year, did they," interposed Palese.
"They didn't tip so good last year," said Nixon.
Pauline Bowers, also arrested in the raid, faced Judge Shay without a jury. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 days in jail.

A death-bed command of a South Camden mother to her four children to stick to their story failed of its motive last night and the woman's husband was arrested on suspicion of murder.
The charge will be changed today, police said, to one of murder.
"Say only what I say, that I fell down the steps."
Mrs. Philomena Marcozzi, 4l, died in West Jersey Homeopathic Hospital shortly after she made that remark; at 4 p.m. yesterday. She bled to death from a severe cut on her left arm.
At her bedside were her children, Josephine, 15; Ida, 13; Louise, 17, and David, 19.
Cops' Suspicions Aroused Nearby
Out of sight of the dying woman, stood Detectives Clifford Del Rossi and Fiore Troncone.
Their suspicions aroused, the sleuths renewed their investigation. As a result the woman's husband, Guilio Marcozzi, 55, of 321 Pine Street was put in the city jail last night, charged with the death of his wife.
Mrs. Marcozzi was cut with the jagged edge of a broken wine decanter, during an argument with her husband over the cleaning of some hardshelled crabs.
But it wasn't the children who said that.
A neighbor, Mrs. Ida Lupini, 31, of 311 Line Street, was in the Marcozzi home when the children returned Sunday night from a crabbing trip to Sea Side Heights. She told police, they declared, that she saw the children jubilantly deposit their catch on the kitchen table.
Then she watched, alarmed and afraid to leave, as Marcozzi told his wife to "throw 'them out."
The wife refused.
The husband insisted, and when his wife told him he should clean the crabs, he grasped the wine decanter and struck the mother over the temple, Mrs. Lupini said.
Cut by Jagged 'Glass'
The decanter broke. Grasping the long, neck of the bottle, Marcozzi continued to attack his wife. He swung the jagged edge towards her breast, and to protect, herself she raised her arm.
The broken bottle cut deeply into her skin. An artery was severed.
Then the children rushed, the mother to West Jersey Homeopathic Hospital.
That is the story Mrs. Lupini told: according to Acting Chief of Police John W. Golden and Assistant Prosecutor Rocco Palese.
The mother told hospital attaches she fell down the steps of her, home, cutting her arm on the broken bits of a bottle she was carrying at the time.
The children, hearing this story, corroborated her.
Wife Dying- Man at Work
The father failed to appear at the hospital. Police were forced to get him at his work yesterday, according to Detective Joseph Carpani, when his wife was dying.
Last night he denied the crime. He said he was not at home when his wife suffered the fatal injury.
But his children, confronted with Mrs. Lupini's tale, broke down and confessed, according to police.
Eighteen hours of almost constant questioning of the Lupini woman by Detectives Carpani, Del Rossi and Troncone solved the tragedy. All three were complimented last night by Acting Police Chief John W. Golden.

Line-Up of Solons Supporting Woodruff or Baird Remains Undisclosed
Trenton, Jan. 31 - The line-up in the Legislature on election of either former Senator Albert S. Woodruff or David Baird Jr. as Camden member of the Delaware River Joint Commission remained undisclosed as both houses adjourned tonight.
No election resolution was introduced in either the Senate or the House, with supporters of both candidates seemingly reluctant to force the issue without assurance of sufficient votes.
Today it was understood Assemblyman Rocco Palese was prepared to introduce a resolution in the Assembly for Woodruff, claiming he had enough voted pledged.
It was also reported that Baird's backers were trying to delay action on the job at the present time due to the quick and favorable response which greeted the Woodruff candidacy in the Republican clubs of Camden city and county.

Do YOU Think?
By CHARLEY HUMES
Assemblyman Millard E. Allen has been reading a book, I betcha.
And in the book, the big, dastardly villain, his legs shackled in irons that clanked as he walked, is being led to the slaughter.
And right then, Mister Assemblyman Allen gets an idea. At least he is of the opinion that it is an idea, but I don't go for it very much.
As I go about my daily chores, I see a lot of things I would much rather do than be guillotined; despite Mister Assemblyman Allen and his idea.
Even Mister O'Neill wouldn't wish that I be guillotined. He might want that I be shellacked, slugged, kicked, pushed around or even chastised, but not guillotined.
"If I had my way," sez Mister Assemblyman Allen, "everybody on the paper would be led to the guillotine."
"And if I had my way, I sez to myself as I read about it, "Mister Assemblyman Allen would get a couple of Mickeys in his tea."
Personally, being led to the guillotine would be very distasteful to me. I doubt very much if I would get over it. There are several forms of chastisement I. think I would like a lot more.
I am not a broker, even though I am broke most of the time, but even with my limited capacity for solving life, I could do a lot better with an idea than Mister Assemblyman Allen,
F'rinstance, there is a guy I don't think is any rosebud what works with me, but never did I think of the guillotine for him. Once I thought I might influence Mister O'Neill into sending the fellow up to listen to Mister Assemblyman Allen stun the legislators at Trenton with his silence, but then I figured that would be a little tough on the guy.
The more I think of Mister Assemblyman Allen's idea, the more I sez to myself who is' this guy. Maybe it is better that he is only an Assemblyman and not a Mussolini.
So I decide I will find out all about Mister Assemblyman Allen and I ankle over to the Courthouse and I ask Mister Assemblyman Rocco Palese, who I bumps into.
"Oh," Rocco sez in his best legislative manner, "He is an allright fellow. He just has an idea."
Which makes me a little hurt that I voted for Mister Assemblyman Palese, 'cause anybody what thinks anybody else who wants me to be guillotined is an all right fellow is not all right himself, as much as I like Mister Assemblyman Palese...
With a pained expression,. I decide I will hunt further for information concerning Mister Assemblyman Allen. It seems funny to me that I never hears of this fellow before last Fall, me being one of them fellows what gets about a bit, too.
As I am making a bee-line for Tom Kenney's, where I figure I will see a great many politicians so that I might make proper queries concerning Mister Assemblyman Allen, I bumps into Mayor George Brunner, leader of all us Democrats in Camden county.
"Your honor," I sez in my very best I-want-something-manner, "who is this Mister, Assemblyman Allen?"
"Why, sez 'hizzoner, I couldn't just properly say. I believe he is one of them Republicans what got washed into office on the shirt-tails of Mister Clee after your piper had got everybody so riled up around here against Mister Moore that they went ahead and voted for Mister Clee and then forgot to get back, into the Democratic column again until they had passed the Assembly candidates. "
With that I leaves the mayor, feeling much better now that I have an idea myself as to who Mister Assemblyman Allen really is. As I am pushing in one of those swinging doors at Tommy's place, the Mayor hollers:
"They's no use of you bothering to find out about Mister Assemblyman Allen anymore, 'cause us Democrats will take care of him next Fall.'''
* * *
I am inclined to lean towards Mister Brunner's idea, but I am not yet completely satisfied, so I continue my probe, But I am disappointed in Tommy's because all the guys what would know Mister Assemblyman Allen had taken a powder and disappeared before my arrival.
So I ambles down Broadway and I was somewhat surprised to see a Republican county committee member coming out of Broadway and Stevens. But I recover quickly and I sez here is my man. I bet he knows this Mister Assemblyman Allen. And he did.
He told me that Mister Assemblyman Allen was some sort of a compromise candidate the Republicans decided to run in order to get out of endorsing somebody else favorable to Mister David Baird.
The C. C. also sez that Mister Baird had recommended Evans, Scovel and Reiners for the Assembly posts, but that the committee decides Mister Baird's recommendations are perfectly terrible and so they go right ahead and endorse Palese and Ellis, who are the Choices of the late Committee of 21, and that they then vote on Evans, Reiners and Mister Assemblyman Allen, the latter getting into the picture when a chap named Marshall, who I don't know either, insisted that Mister Assemblyman Allen be voted upon.
* * *
All of which reminds me of the time they run Man O' War up North one time and all the other horses in the race drop out but a nag named Upset, because they are all afraid of Man O' War. Well it finally ends up by Upset beating Man O' War.
Now I don't say that all the other candidates dropped out of that fight because they were afraid of anybody else, but like Upset, Mister Assemblyman Allen won out and he won out because a lot of folks who were allowed to cast a ballot thought he was not a Baird man.
But like the betters what laid It on the line for Man O' War, they was fooled too, and Mister Assemblyman Allen turns out to be a Baird man also.
And like Upset, Mister Assemblyman Allen will probably never win another race because you can't fool a few guys around this town twice in a row. So that's what I found out about Mister Assemblyman Allen..

A conference on Camden's proposed legislative light plant bill was held yesterday by State Senator Albert E. Burling, Commissioner Frank J. Hartmann and his assistant, Walter S. Anderson. The session was held in Burling's private office.
Neither Burling nor Hartmann would disclose if they had decided on any action to introduced a bill to provide enabling legislation to obtain Federal PW A funds for the proposed municipal electric light plant, for which voters of the city twice cast a majority vote.
"The conference was held at the request of Commissioner Hartmann," Burling said. "We discussed possible legislation which may be favorably acted on by the Legislature.
"It was agreed that our plans not be discussed or made known for the present and not until the matter can be more thoroughly analyzed and discussed."
Commissioner Hartmann was reluctant to discuss the conference.
"Out of courtesy to Senator Burling I do not desire to discuss the matter," Hartmann said.
Anderson appeared before Burling and the Camden county Assembly delegation at the weekly forum Saturday with suggested revisions in previous bills, after contacting Dr. Clark Forman, of the PWA legal staff in Washington. Today's conference was the outgrowth of that discussion.
City Clerk Clay W. Reesman, of Camden, asked the Legislators to amend the election law to defer certification of polling places until Fall in years when primaries are held in September.
Cites Election Law
Reesman pointed out that Article 8, paragraph 87, calls for municipal clerks to send polling place lists to county boards of election before March 1, and directs the county boards to certify them ·back by April 15.
"That was all right when primary elections were held in May each year," Reesman said. "But now they are held in September except in Presidential years, and the dates should be changed to August 1 and September 1 except in Presidential years. As it now stands, changes are made all Summer after the list is certified, until the original list be comes unrecognizable."
Clarence Dunkleberger, of the Eleventh Ward, reappeared to ask that a way be found to provide an underpass for school children who cross the railroad tracks between Cramer Hill and the Westfield Avenue section. There are no crossings between Twenty-seventh and Thirty-sixth streets.
Asks About Trade Mark
Dunkleberger said it is his understanding that an existing law requires railroad companies to provide crossings at every other block, but if this is not so, he asked that a bill be introduced to compel railroads to provide crossings every half mile in second-class cities.
Charles Dieck, of Philadelphia, representing non-residents in business in New Jersey, appeared to ask questions concerning the Foran trademark bill which, it is estimated by its sponsor, would provide $10,000,000 this year to help finance relief.
Dieck said he had been unable to obtain a copy of the bill, which was introduced in the upper house last Monday.
"I have been to the Courier-Post and the bills are not available," Dieck said.
. "You come down to my house and I'll show you the bill," put in Assemblyman Millard E. Allen, of Laurel Springs, who wants all employees of the publication "led to the guillotine. "
. "How can you show him the bill?" asked Assemblyman Rocco Palese, "when they haven't been printed yet?"
Maybe He Has Got It
"I got my bills yesterday" Allen insisted.
"Was that bill among them?" inquired Burling. "I haven't been able to get one yet."
"I think it was, but I'm not positive," admitted Allen. "At least I have some information on it."
"I don't think you have the bill," Assemblyman Lawrence H. Ellis said. "I was told in Trenton they haven't been printed yet."
"Well, I said I'm not positive," Allen declared. Shortly afterward he left the session.
The legislators voted to dispense with the regular weekly meeting next Saturday, because' it is Lincoln's birthday. They will be resumed February 19.

Surrounded by members of the Camden Recreation Commission and friends, three Camden school girls who won first prizes in Camden's first annual dressmaking and doll dressing contest boarded a New York train at Broad Street Station, Philadelphia, yesterday, bound on a two-day trip to New York.
The trip was the first contest award for three events. The contest was sponsored by the Camden Recreation Commission, the Courier-Post Newspapers and the Camden City Parent-Teacher Association. More than 30 prizes were awarded to entrants on Jan. 14, at Camden Convention Hall, when the competition closed.
The three girls who won first places are Lillian Paglione, 10, of 331 Benson street, and Merfrida Di Filippo, 10, both students at Stevens school, and Evelyn Stevenson, 13, of 405 North Fortieth street, who attends Davis school. They were chaperoned by Jean Drew, a member of the staff of the Courier-Post Newspapers.
The party met today in the lobby of a Camden hotel. A delegation of friends and members of the Camden Recreational Commission, headed by Mrs. Rocco Palese and Samuel E. Fulton, president of the commission, escorted the party to the train. Mrs. Palese, chairman of the general committee of the Recreation Commission and Camden City Parent-Teacher Association chairman, has been active in all arrangements for the trip.
At New York, the party taxied to the Roosevelt Hotel, where the management had provided a suite of rooms at a special rate for the contest winners. After luncheon, the group embarked upon a special bus tour of the city.
the pleasures in store for the children are guided tours through
Passes for all the tours were obtained for the contest winners by Julius Haber, who is in charge of the press division of RCA Manufacturing Company, Camden. He has also made arrangements for the girls to view an NBC broadcast while in New York. Another member of the RCA company has arranged for tickets to admit the group to the Music Hall.
Jack Weinberg, of Warner Brothers, has obtained passes for the children to Capitol Theatre in New York City.
Upon their return to Camden, Haber has arranged to have the winners make recordings at the RCA of their trip, impressions of which each child may keep as a souvenir.
Mrs. Palese in arrangements for the trip were other members of the
commission, including Fulton ; Frank H. Ryan, managing editor of the
Courier-Post Newspapers, and the Camden City P.T.A.

Urges 5-Day Limit for Civil Service Workers, Spurred by Schneider Case
Trenton, Feb. 14.—A bill to restrict suspension of civil service employees to five days, was introduced tonight in the Assembly by Assemblyman Rocco Palese.
Thirty-day suspensions are provided at present as a maximum. Palese said his bill was inspired by the recent 30-day suspension which Commissioner Frank J. Hartmann, Jr., of Camden, imposed upon Thomas Schneider, inspector in the Water Department.
Schneider had charged "drones" were in Hartmann's department, and when asked for names game none. The suspension followed.
"Of course some discipline is necessary," said Palese, "but I think five days is sufficient for any offense."
Another bill offered tonight by Palese would make it necessary for any persons applying for a new trial on a criminal charge to file a notice of the application with the prosecutor's office as well as with the court..
|Camden Courier-Post * February 16, 1938
has introduced in the Legislature a bill intended to
Where suspensions up to 30 days now are permitted for disciplinary purpose, Palese's bill would limit the suspension to five days. His belief is that "five days is sufficient for any offense."
That, of course, depends not only on the offense but on the discretion of the official who wishes to enforce order and efficiency among his employees.
The bill is based on the case of Thomas Schneider, inspector in the Camden city water department, who recently charged the department was infested with "drones." Commissioner Hartmann suspended Schneider for 30 days but offered to reinstate the inspector if he would name the "drones" or substantiate his remarks. Schneider refused—and permitted the penalty to appear entirely justified.
While a 30-day suspension might be considered a severe penalty, it is obvious that it also has saved many employees their jobs—giving department heads an available alternative to the red tape and unpleasantness of filing specific charges and causing an offender to lose his job altogether.
To reduce the suspension period from 30 days to five days would virtually remove the alternative, limiting punishment to a figurative slap on the wrist.
To establish leniency, whether deserved or not might meet with approval of the State Court of Pardons but we doubt whether it will elicit much public applause.
It will serve only as a "backfire" for Civil Service if it results in formal charges and outright dismissals for employees now subject to a 30-day "fine.".

Committee Goes in Huddle on 'King Successor-Comes Out With Headache
By MERCURY
There isn't a whole lot of patronage available for the Camden county Republicans these' days, but they're fighting like cats about it, anyway.
Wednesday was Headache Day for the G. O. P. patronage committee. The committee met for the purpose of picking a successor to William A. E. King on the county elections board. The net result was plenty of names, plenty of arguments, no successor.
Among those there at various times were David Baird, County Clerk Leslie H. Ewing. Mrs. Florence Baker, Louis Bantivoglio, Frank Middleton, Mrs. Margaret Wermuth, Mrs. Mary Tegge, Mrs. Anna Holl, Assemblymen Lawrence Ellis and Millard Allen. Other members of the committee, such as Congressman Charles A. Wolverton, Senator Albert E. Burling and Assemblyman Rocco Palese, could not get there. Surrogate Frank B. Hanna could get there and did at 3 p. m., when the meeting was supposed to start. But he left at 3.35 p. m. before the session had got under way.
A Baird Order
It was reported that the meeting broke up with the general idea that Meyer L. Sakin, local attorney, would be recommended for the job. This, however, was decidedly not a unanimous opinion and, according to some quarters, not even a majority decision. It would be more proper to characterize it as a Baird order.
It was rumored that Mrs. Tegge, Mrs. Wermuth and Mrs. Holl opened the hostilities by suggesting that King be allowed to succeed himself. But Dr. Ewing and Mrs. Baker vetoed this-rather enthusiastically.
Then Mrs. Holl, it is understood, was asked whether she would support George Walton, a fellow townsman from Haddonfield, but she refused. It is reported that Hanna has suggested Walton for the post and that Dr. Ewing and Mrs. Baker are willing to support Walton.
The real fireworks began when William Lehman, manager of the county Republican headquarters, declared that Baird had promised him that none other than William Lehman was going to get the job. It appears that Lehman will soon be in need of the job, as the county committee is now voting on whether to discontinue maintaining the headquarters and Lehman.
Lehman Let Down?
But it appears that Baird didn't t put up much of a fight Wednesday in Lehman's behalf. So another net, result of the meeting is that Baird and Lehman were walking s on opposite sides of the street yesterday.
Hanna was asked yesterday whether Sakin had been recommended.
"Yes, I understand they went a on record for Sakin, but I don't know that officially," asserted the state committeeman. "I got there at 3 o'clock, but nobody wanted to start things. It looked like they were just waiting for Dave Baird to come and tell them what to do. I had some legal papers to get out so I had to leave."
Another report being circulated yesterday was that Baird wants to put Lehman in the job held by Harry F. Ecky, First ward Republican. Ecky is a registrar for the county election board. His was one of the most popular appointments made in recent years, by the Republicans. Both he and Victor Scharle, Democratic registrar, are not only popular but their work has been universally recognized a extremely efficient. ..

Is Zat So!
Fair, charming and, clever, Mrs. Rocco Palese is one of my "favorite girl friends" -this is rather an exclusive organization- to be found in South Jersey. When this charming-matron proceeded to rebuke me with the chastening rod the other day, I was obedient to the command of Camden's fair daughter.
"The great trouble with you," opined Mrs. Palese, who was talking with Mrs. Florence Baker, Republican state committeewoman, who is also one of the "F. G. F." is that you don't write enough about women."
"Why you should have column after column about the fine women we have in Camden," she added.
As I left the charming Mrs. Palese and the equally winsome Madame Baker it was my fortune to encounter one of the others who are ensconced in the Circle of "F. G. F." She is Mrs. Emma E. Hyland, postmaster of Camden and for years the brave matron who carried aloft the banner of an unterrified but unwelcome Democracy.
Mrs. Hyland smiled in that manner so disarming, and in 'her' own diplomatic way. My thoughts meanwhile ran back to a banquet that was held a few nights before, in which the winsome Mrs. Hyland administered one verbal spanking to that glutton for punishment who writes this potpourri.
Mrs. Hyland verifies sapient remarks made by that astute counselor, Samuel P. Orlando, to wit:
"The great wonder in my mind has been that Mrs. Hyland cou1d battle in politics the way she has and still retain her femininity to such a marked degree."
The sentiments expressed so tersely but eloquently by the limb of the law named Orlando meets with my emphatic "aye". Therefore, when Mrs. Hyland proceeded to chastise this scribe because the Mackay hinted that harmony does not does not dwell in Democracy's tents, the lady appeared vocally ruffled as she proceeded to shoot Mackay at sunrise.
We acknowledged the lambasting, but still there lurked in our mind the same old seed "of suspicion. We recalled when Harry Moore was inducted into office as the only Governor' to thrice have held that exalted office. The inauguration tickets were not profuse in the Brunner-Kelleher camp, hence we wondered why.
At the same time we remembered an innocent remark that we had read in the column of our able colleague, the cheery sprite, known as Charlie Humes. It was to the effect "that I am not supposed to bring people up here now."
As we trudged along the streets our minds burrowed in thought and our brains (?) deeply immersed in imagination we pulled up near Broadway and Stevens street in front of the red brick building which the unrighteous now call "No Man's Land" or more formally the Republican county headquarters.
We were startled out of our reverie by hearing a dulcet voice shouting: "My car is afire! My car is afire! I can't put it out!"
Instantly we knew that voice. It was that of another of our "F. G. F." in trouble, this time Mrs. Baker. Her gasoline chariot had come ablaze. She was in quandary terrific as to extinguishing the flames.
SQUISH! SQUlSHl! OUT GOES FIRE
Don't tell me why woman loses her head in an emergency. Out of a store came a lady; racing with a can in her hand. She was Sadye Levinsky, One of the few women pharmacists in Camden county.
Miss Levinsky knew her stuff as she also knows Mrs. Baker. Sadye went at her job in calm. matter-of-fact fashion that would have won the envy of any volunteer fireman who ever borrowed Fred Lynch's rubber boots.
Squish! Squish! Squish! went the pump in the can. Out, pronto went the flames. Mrs. Baker was profuse in her thanks as Miss Levinsky waved the emergency treatment of the fiery chariot aside, it was all in the day's work.
"Boy", we were saluted. "I've just seen the best emotional thespian, that hasn't made Hollywood. She's a knockout, about the prettiest girl in this county.
"Where is this paragon," we queried, wanting to know something about such a lady myself.
"She is in court trying to get alimony from her husband, Dr. Eppelman," said the barrister. We trudged over to the courthouse where we met a group who were discussing the Ethel Barrymore who had just asked her dentist husband be compelled to support her and a child.
"Phew," said Walter Keown, who was hubby's counsel, "what an actress, what, an actress;" Now that was some tribute for we've seen Pete Keown in court and he can do a John Barrymore, too.
It was at that moment that a petite blonde; with a face that rivaled Helen of Troy's and could launch a thousand ships from any dock in the world came around the corner. She was fetchingly dressed and surrounded by a flotilla of males; all members of her families.
She was Mrs. Eppleman, and that lawyer's description ot her glamour and charm was a prize bit of understatement. If she can act as good as she looks they better get Carole Lombard, Lucille Ball and some of those other gals an annuity right away, for they'll be pushed off the map.
Hardly had we sauntered away from this beauty when we encountered Mrs. Pauline Caperoon, our best bet for the prize politician among all her sex in Camden County. Pauline was as energetic, as politic and loquacious as is characteristic and we had a talkfest about certain folk and their foibles that was enriched, by the strength of Mrs. Caperoon's vocabulary, with an added trimming of a most conservative type from the writer.
After we had chatted with Pauline and learned plenty we should know we walked away again. Just in time to see Mayor Brunner and Mrs. Kobus hiking for a train to Trenton. Of course, we knew they, were just running up to see the Governor, but nothing political. We subsided.
Thus, Mrs. Palese, we feel that we have covered the ground pretty today in a single column, to bring to the attention of our readers (?) something about women.

Food On The Edge
Food on the Edge is a two-day food symposium gathering international chefs and food leaders every October to discuss the cutting-edge issues in the food industry with the intention of actioning change for the better future of food.
The symposium is the brain child of Michelin starred chef, JP McMahon and launched in his hometown of Galway, Ireland in 2015. The not-for-profit conference seeks to make good food accessible for everyone and tries to encourage as many international guests to be involved as possible in order to reach an international culinary community.
During the onsite symposium approximately 50 chefs are given the floor for 15 minutes each with free reign to deliver a speech on their unique perspective on a topic or a theme. Previous chef speakers have included Albert Adria of Tickets, Ana Roš of Hiša Franko, Andoni Luis Aduriz of Mugaritz, Clare Smyth of Core, Malena Martinez of Mater Iniciativa, Matt Orlando of Amass and Will Goldfarb of Room 4 Dessert.
Speakers are chosen for their innovation, passion and influence on food culture. Symposium themes have included, 'Conversations', 'Future of Food', 'Action/Reaction' and 'Food Stories' and specific topics that have been raised by chefs during the symposium include mental health, waste, diversity, work/life balance and creativity.
The mission of Food on the Edge is to create a benchmark for best practice, in terms of food, its culture, and the people who produce it and gives chefs a platform as key actors in our food systems on how to present the future of themselves.
Speakers present on the future of food, in personal and political ways, designed to push issues to the edge, to inspire action through debate and dialogue: hence the naming of the event, Food on the Edge. Afterall, as organiser McMahon says ""The whole point of this symposium is talking about things, but then doing them."

Former Tory PM John Major intervenes over 'fragile' DUP deal
Former Tory Prime Minister John Major has spoken out against Theresa May's intent to prop up a government with the support of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).
He said he is "wary" about the "fragile" deal between the prime minister and DUP leader Arlene Foster as it might undermine Northern Ireland's peace process, which he claims may "unwind."
Major's comments come as May is due to discuss the terms of a "confidence and supply" deal with Foster at Downing Street on Tuesday, which would mainly entail the DUP backing the government on confidence votes and budget requests.
Major warned striking the deal with the right-wing party could make the UK come across as rather than an "honest broker," potentially affecting the peace process and galvanizing "hard men still there, lurking in the corners of communities" to return to some form of violence.
Saying the "peace process should not be regarded as given," the former Tory leader told the BBC.
"I am concerned about the deal, I am wary about it, I am dubious about it, both for peace process reasons, and for other reasons as well.
"My main concern is the peace process. A fundamental part of that peace process is that the UK government needs to be impartial between all the competing interests in Northern Ireland.
"And the danger is that however much any government tries, they will not be seen to be impartial if they are locked into a parliamentary deal at Westminster with one of the Northern Ireland parties," he said.
While prime minister, Major was instrumental in the development of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which helped calm long-standing disputes between Unionists - who support being part of the UK - and Republicans, who want to leave.
Major urged May to reconsider leading a minority government instead, saying it is "an option well worth considering."
Following her humiliating defeat in the general election, May announced last Friday that she would be allying with the pro-Brexit DUP party to gain a 13-seat Conservative majority.
The ex-Conservative leader insisted the will of the 48 percent of Britons who voted to stay in the EU cannot be "brushed aside as some of the more rigorous hard-line Brexiteers wish."
Major, who has described Brexit as a "horrific mistake," said the idea of a 'hard Brexit' is becoming "increasingly unsustainable," as it has not been "endorsed by the electorate in this particular election."
In February, Major said the PM is giving false hopes to the public over what to expect from Brexit.
"I have watched with growing concern as the British people have been led to expect a future that seems to be unreal and over-optimistic," Major said during a speech at Chatham House think tank.
"Obstacles are brushed aside as of no consequence, whilst opportunities are inflated beyond any reasonable expectation of delivery."
He called on May to be realistic about the timescale and complexity of Brexit negotiations, before advising her to use a bit more "charm and less cheap rhetoric" as the atmosphere in Brussels is already "sour."

It's Tuesday, which means Joe McCulloch is here with his regular guide to the Week in Comics.
Also, if it's been a while since you checked in with our collection of tributes to Kim Thompson, you'll want to take another look at it soon. New additions have continued to roll in, most recently from Kim's Fantagraphics colleagues Jason T. Miles and Kristy Valenti, as well as an essay-length remembrance from Gary Groth.
I've sketched the highlights of Kim's "career" (he would understand and appreciate the quotation marks — neither of us thought of this as a "career"), but it barely scratches the surface — it's impossible to adequately convey his devotion to specific projects and to the goals of the company generally, the all-nighters we pulled to get books to the printer, the tens of thousands of hours hunched over typewriters and computer keyboards and manuscripts, his above-and-beyond-the-call-of-duty proofreading. What I'd like to do, though, is to offer a few words about something I'm uniquely qualified to talk about: the intersection between our personal and professional lives.
As a publisher of cartooning, Fantagraphics Books was an outgrowth of The Comics Journal, so a polemical chip-on-the-shoulder was built into its DNA. As recently as the late '70s and early '80s, the whole notion that comics was a bona fide art form was still alien not just to the culture at large, but even to the fan sub-culture, most of which inhabited this bland, gray area between a connoisseurial love of great cartooning and the worship of pure drek (often both at the same time). The only way to break this critical complacency, I thought —and it may not have been the most effective strategy (because it was less a strategy than a compulsion)— was to confront the artistic status quo head-on with the best criticism we could muster — and Kim was right there with me in this Quixotic endeavor, as his reviews of Ronin, Detectives, Inc., The Death of Captain Marvel, and other books attest. Without this zeal, I don't think we could've made a difference.
Elsewhere, lots of catching up to do:
—The long nightmare surrounding Dragon Con and Edward Kramer is apparently over. (Context here.)
—If you read the two-part Peter Bagge/Zak Sally discussion we ran a few months back, you recall how much of it had to do with the difficult economics of comics publishing today. Sally is now releasing the second volume of his Sammy the Mouse series, and talks a lot more about all of that in his announcement, in which he suggests ordering the book direct.
—Longish Reviews. Occasional Journal contributor Sean Rogers has a typically excellent piece on Michael DeForge at the Globe & Mail, and Michael Kammen writes about Victor Navasky's The Art of Controversy for LARB. (I think I have to read this book.)
—Frequent Journal contributor Chris Mautner has a roundup of recent books from Hic & Hoc. So does Rob Clough. Sarrah Horrock writes about Jiro Matsumoto. Impossible Mike writes about Gengoroh Tagame.
—Whenever I link to Bleeding Cool, I seem to get at least one irritated e-mail from readers, but they've got a couple fun recent posts up, including one on the time S. Clay Wilson worked for Marvel, and another on Jim Steranko's colorful Twitter account. (Gary's eventual essay-length tribute to Steranko will be a sight to see.)
—As with most (all?) art forms, the history of comics is perhaps most efficiently grasped as the history of the technologies involved with its production. Pioneering underground artist Justin Green is figuring out how the current technological changes affect his work in a brief blog post here.
—Robert Boyd has an excellent piece on the sad end of Domy Books in Houston.
—British sf author Alastair Reynolds remembers growing up on Eagle.
—And finally, Gary Larson on 20/20 in 1986 (via):

The CW has renewed all ten of its currently airing series, including all four current DC Comics productions. Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow that all share a universe got a blanket renewal for their fifth, third, and second seasons respectively, and DC/Vertigo's iZombie got a third season as well, as reported by ComicBook.com.
The four series were part of a total of eleven series getting an early renewal from the CW president Mark Pedowitz for the 2016-2017 season. That's all ten shows currently airing: Jane the Virgin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Supernatural, The 100, The Vampire Diaries, and The Originals rounding that category out, plus the spring/summer series Reign.
Pedowitz said in a press release:
"The CW has become home to some of the most critically-acclaimed shows on broadcast television, with a wide array of fantastic scripted series across the week, ranging from musical comedy, to superhero action, to gritty sci-fi dramas. As we continue to further our strategy of more year-round original programming, picking up these 11 series for the 2016-2017 season puts us in a great position of having proven, high-quality shows to launch in the fall as well as midseason and summer of 2017."
The network, whose three leading shows in the ratings are their DC Universe programs, did not give any details on the pickups, including episode counts or planned premieres, so it's uncertain whether they'll all be fall launches, or split between fall and spring as they were this year (Legends was a mid-season debut).
Three of these shows, iZombie, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Jane the Virgin were considered "on the bubble" by most ratings watchers, though their dedicated fanbases, consistent critical success, and bolstered numbers by app-viewing like Hulu likely helped push them over the hump.
So are you happy about these announced renewals? Do you have any disappointments? Do you feel some of these shows should be cancelled?

Stop the talent community BS
It doesn't really matter where you go on the internet, where people have a common interest they will gather. It doesn't really matter what that interest is, in amongst the noise people will find each other. On a channel like Tumblr it might be the latest band or fad, on Facebook it might be that you went to the same school or have the same memories, on LinkedIn it could be that you work in the same field and on Twitter it could be as simple as you support the same football team. Social media is built to help people with the same interests find each other easily and hang out, because the conversations on topic usually take part in a public space. It's a bit like standing in a shopping mall with a megaphone shouting "I love to collect stamps. I have a great collection." Most of the people passing by will roll an eye and stroll on. Stamps have no interest, but every so often someone will come past and say "I love stamps too. Lets go somewhere and talk about it." Then off go the stamp men with their cardigans, and their first editions and their passion for stamps, and they sit, drink coffee and exchange stamp war stories, tips and advice.
The guy with the megaphone, lets call him Jim, is talking to his new stamp buddy (lets call him Brian), and they become friends quickly because of their shared love of all things stamps. Jim phones his friend who has a rare first day cover and he comes over and joins the conversation. Jim and Brian, discover that they have a few mutual friends who also love stamps. They agree it would be a good idea if they all met over a beer next week, and brought their friends along to talk a bit more about stamps over a beer in a bar. Word gets out from friend to friend, by word of mouth and word of mouse. The stamp guys hang out.
Enjoying these informal get togethers, Jim and Brian and all the other stamp guys, and now a few stamp girls decide that it would be great if they met once a week to talk about a new super interesting stamp topic, and to show the new collectors' items they had gathered each week. Once this started happening they soon realised that they needed to be organised, which meant someone needed to take charge, and a few others needed to take on responsibilities like booking the bar, ordering the pretzels, that kind of stuff. After a while, they agreed that it would be good to start bringing some new faces in, because they had seen every stamp each of them owned, and they had each led a meeting to talk about their specialist topic. What they needed was someone to get the word out and take control of marketing the group to new people. Time to get the megaphone out, put a few posters up and make a few announcements.
About this time, there was a stamp fair in town. People were coming from far and wide to buy, sell and swap stamps. They weren't really connected, but they were all pretty serious about the art of stamp collecting. They had a lot of knowledge, but they liked to keep their secrets to themselves because stamp collectors are seriously competitive. New people joining in the meet ups, which became meetings, always started reserved, but learnt fairly quickly that the more they shared, the more others shared with them. The sales fairs became a great recruiting ground for the stamp group, they even took a stand to meet new people. The more time the group took to run, the more they needed to organise themselves with a committee, organisers and fees to pay for venues, marketing and the like. The group grew and grew.
When the group met each Wednesday, they started to divide in to sub-groups according to their niche interests. Some people had a special interest in first day covers, others were interested in African stamps, new releases and only stamps over 100 years old. These groups decided among themselves that it would be great if they hung out separately on a different night.They still went back to the main group once or twice a month, but mostly they liked to hang out in small groups, with the people who were more alike. The big meetings were more social for a pint and a chat, but the smaller gatherings was where the real business of talking and exchanging stamps got done. Each of these groups started to organise themselves because they needed to, appointing a group leader and an organiser to get things done.
From time to time the members fell out with each other, stamps can be a competitive and challenging hobby to have. One member would be accused of breaking the rules or aims of the group, but there were no rules to speak of, people just kind of knew what they expected of each other. As the groups grew and became more diverse, and other groups started to spring up in other towns it was clear that some structure was needed. Jim and Brian had always been the self-appointed leaders by virtue of the fact that they were the first members, but others were starting to question this. Whilst their contribution was undisputed, they were a bit dated in their views. For a start they didn't really like the internet, and shied away from anything on-line, but members needed to communicate and trade their stamps even if they couldn't make the meetings. The special interest groups wanted to be able to connect with other people who shared their interests wherever they might be located, and this could only happen on-line.
Recognising that they were holding back the natural progress of the group, Jim and Brian declared that they were taking a backseat, and organised a vote among the members to elect a committee with formal roles. Whilst they wanted to keep things as loose as possible for the members, they also recognised that some structure was needed, and the first job of the new council was to crowdsource the members and agree guidelines for the members to follow. No one quite knew when it happened, but the people involved had gone from being enthusiastic friends to being members of a bigger community. From that first announcement about stamps, something bigger with structure and culture evolved, a real community, and they took it on-line. The virtual membership and participation became bigger than the physical one. From an early chance meeting, a real community was born.
The point of telling this fictitious story is to illustrate how communities evolve and change over time, sparked by a shared interest and a natural human desire among people to connect and belong to groups with a shared interest, and how structure and order naturally evolves. It is the way towns grew from villages, and city's from towns. Shared purpose, and the need for a level of order.
There has been a lot of rubbish talked about talent communities around companies. Job seeking is a solo occupation. People don't want to do it in packs or groups. Job seeking is transactional, communities are based on relationships. Following a company is not belonging to a talent community, at best it is being a part of a talent network. Applying for a job is not belonging to anything other than your interest in the job. Like the stamp guys, real community needs to be around a shared area of interest, and the community is not owned or managed, it evolves and gains structure over time. You need to broadcast the area of interest in the early days to attract those with an interest, get them to the same place then let them decide how it evolves, and the structure it takes. It is a long term gain, not a short term return, and is unlikely to be what a real company needs.
Just my thoughts, evolve like the stamp guys from a single interest, let the members decide the structure and objective and make recruiting one of many secondary activities, and not the basis of a community.

Whartonite souls are depreciating and there is nothing our business-minded friends can do about it… except sell out. Here are the 8 commandments every Whartonite should follow when liquefying his soul to buy stock options.
1) First and foremost, price it right. Either offer to trade it for a new belt and pray for a bidding war, or ask 450 grand in hopes of doping someone into thinking that you're not selling for a reason.
2) You need to admit blemishes, so buyers won't think you're lying, but you can't be too honest or those 'blemishes' will become 'flaws.' Note: White collar crime is only "illegal" if your secretary blabbers her mouth about it. Se to it that she sleeps with the fishes.
3) Vintage = just plain valuable. Old = just plain shitty.
4) Describe the ordinary and mundane as if it were exquisite and probably valuable. Record "counseled at summer camp" as 'has made children happy by frolicking through the woods with them.' Write volunteer hours every high school student does as "has spent hours with children in an orphanage.' Describe that time you carpooled because your Beamer broke down as "has saved trees by carpooling with young children." Oh, and do your best not to sound like a sex-offender.
5) Time your post appropriately. Don't post on a Sunday night because church raises spirits. Post Saturday afternoon when your buyer is waking up to find one empty bottle of Petrone, fifteen strangers' wallets, six carved likenesses of polytheistic gods, and a confession note specifying precisely how they broke the other seven commandments. You want your ad at the top of the page.
6) Who says you should stop at your soul? Sell your friends souls. Souls don't have escrow companies. It'll give your Harrison Ford impression a whole new depth. "See you in hell."
7) Make sure it's cross-listed with "soul-patch." Balding middle-aged hippies are bound to want a clean slate and, while yours may not be spotless, you sins weren't committed on acid.
8) Put it on Ebay, everything brings more on Ebay.

Roger Willis 1985
Occupation: Vacuum Cleaner Salesman
After agreeing to have Roger Willis come into her home and demonstrate his new vacuum cleaner, Helen Daniels found herself being given the hard sell, despite having absolutely no interest in buying the machine. When her grandson, Paul arrived home, Helen quickly found a gap in which to tell Roger that she'd seen enough, but would call him if she was interested. Roger pointed out that neighbour Maria Ramsay had said the same thing, then never called, but Helen assured him that she'd keep her word, before sending him out the door.

Sun's Out, Buns Out: Statistically, Guys Have More Sex In The Summer
To quote the infinitely wise "stic.man" of Dead Prez, "Some say the summer make a woman more sexual. It's instinct; that's why my game be right on schedule."
What he's referring to here is a natural boost in sexuality that most people will begin to feel as they turn their calendars from winter to spring and spring to summer.
Like all other instincts though, many will go about these changes without devoting much thought to how or why.
Well, from a more practical perspective, it makes sense. As the sun begins to shine stronger, and for more hours throughout the day, it can't help but brighten up our moods, too.
As the temperature starts to rise, we begin to shed some layers.
Ladies start wearing sundresses; bros start breaking out their high school lacrosse pinnies (even though they graduated from college, like, three or four years ago).
We start hitting the gym with (some) regularity, with hopes of getting our bodies "beach ready" – or at least shed some of the weight we gained last season.
According to Self, all of this "increases blood flow to our brains, our bodies and our genitals, and it elevates our moods and endorphins." In short, "there really is a reason behind spring fever."
Self spoke with Sexual Health Expert Jennifer R. Berman, MD., who said, "it's actually about anthropology."
As suggested by Berman, "The shift in temperature changes our hormones and our circadian rhythms and really makes it a mating season."
Mating season? I've heard of cuffing season, but I never really figured humans had a clear-cut mating season – probably because I never really considered the act of sexual intercourse as "mating."
I mean, I generally associate "mating" with reproduction, and for the standard Millennial, any prospect of sex resulting in reproduction would surely put an end to his or her "summer fever" real quick.
Yet, according to Daily Mail, statistics show there may, in fact, be a clear-cut "mating season" – or a time of the year when sex (however casual) is most prominent.
Using a survey that gauged which month subjects reported to be their most sexually active, August (the peak of the summer) was the most common.
Interestingly enough, while February is the month containing the most "romantic holiday" of the calendar year, it also was reported as the least "sexually active" month on the calendar.
So, just in case you were feeling like the only one not "getting any" last Valentine's Day – think again.
After August, results showed July and June were the next two most popular months for sex. And after them, May.
As you can clearly see, spring fever – and a possible "mating season" – are both statistically verified phenomena.
Ruth Styles of Daily Mail continued to provide a possible explanation for the increase in sex during spring and summer months.
"Researchers put the results down to the higher melatonin levels seen in most of us during the winter months, which can lead to a lower sex drive, depression and lethargy."
Following this logic, because we're more "spry" during the spring months, there's a better chance that we'll find ourselves pushing forth this extra energy toward our dating lives.
In addition to lower melatonin levels in the spring, men will also experience a nice little testosterone boost as well.
According to Styles, "tests have shown that men have 33 percent more testosterone flowing through their bodies in June than in January."
And since men are the ones who are usually the ones blessed with the privilege of making the first move, in most regular dating situations, this increase in testosterone should lead to more first dates, right?
Well, according to some data provided by our friends at Zoosk, an online dating site, apparently: yes.
By comparing the data of Zoosk's US members from the first two weeks of spring to that of a month prior, there is conclusive evidence that shows 'Spring Fever' truly does exist in the world of online dating.
Statistics show 34 percent more first messages are sent daily in the spring.
While this number isn't solely referring to the amount of first messages sent by males during the spring, it would certainly make sense that this spike in flirting is – at least somewhat – encouraged by the spike in male hormones.
In like manner, statistics also showed there was a 28 percent increase in "deep" conversations during the spring.
According to Zoosk, deep conversations were considered to be any discussion that resulted in more than two messages by each user.
While it remains to be seen how "deep" any of these convos truly were, it does show people were more open to at least court new dating opportunities.
Finally, statistics revealed an 11 percent increase in daily registrations for Zoosk in the spring – and this statistic may, in fact, be the most telling.
I mean, apart from showing how lazy single Americans might be, it also shows where their head's were at during the spring months.
While they might not be ready to go hit the bar and schmooze with new people face to face, at least they're hitting the online dating circuit to start playing the field.
I don't blame them, truthfully; baseball players aren't the only ones shaking off the wintertime cobwebs.
A separate study, conducted by Nicolas Guéguen and his team of scientists at the University of South Brittany in France, supported this idea of heightened flirting during the summer.
According to Taylor and Francis, on Science Daily, "It was found that women were more receptive to being approached and flirted with – and giving out their phone numbers – on sunny days: over a fifth – 22.4 percent – of women did so when the sun was out, as opposed to 13.9 percent on the cloudy days."
So, uhhh, if you're reading this article on the train or at a coffee shop – this is your cue to "x" out and ask her for her number.

This page describes the method I use to organize the wiring of a a panel. The principle is the same both for a simple panel containing only buttons and for a more complex one with buttons, LED's or rotaries.
EPIC works with a matrix consisting of 8 data leads and a total of 38 rows (on three modules). This allows for a maximum of 304 buttons. Each button should be protected by a diode. I found it impractical to solder the diodes directly to the contacts of the buttons or switches. As an alternative, I route all ModRow leads and all data leads from the panel to a small connector board. This board holds all diodes, and here is where the organization of cables takes place.
The board is located between the panel and the DB25 connector – which is plugged into one of the distribution boards for further connection to the EPIC modules. The series of photos that follows illustrate the steps necessary to make the connector board.
The fully wired panel. 8 buttons can be wired to the same ModRow lead. Note the yellow ModRow cable connecting vaious switches. For rotary switches, the ModRow lead must be soldered to the central (common) contact.
Note the sheet of paper where all button asignments are noted. It is very important to keep track of all wiring. It might all be so clear today – be sure that tomorrow you will be consulting your notes to track cables and the buttons or switches they go to!
First step in the process of making the connector card is to solder the diodes. For clarity's sake, I always put groups of 8 diodes in a row, representing the 8 data leads. Each of these groups corresponds to 1 ModRow. If not all 8 data leads are used in a group, there is obviously no need to put all 8 diodes – just leave the corresponding space empty. But it is a good idea to stick to the grouping idea. The group in the upper left corner consists only of data leads 1 – 3, the group in the lower left corner of leads 2 – 8. Therefore, the first "slot" is left empty.
Diodes must always be soldered in such a way that the ring on the diode points towards the switch or button.
Backside of the connector board. Note the type of board used. The grouping of 3 contacts allows for easy connection of up to 2 cables on each side of the diode. The side that leads to the switch needs only one, but the other side of the diode is where the data leads are connected. Since in this example more than one ModRow is used, the data leads have to branch into each of the groups of 8 diodes. This concept will become clearer with the next photos.
A male connector for a ribbon cable is added. An adjacent panel with only a few buttons is connected here for simplicity's sake. The alternative would have been to produce another connector board, cable and DB25 plug.
So, from this point on, both panels will share the same cables and DB25 connector.
The first data lead is soldered in. As noted above, the group of diodes in the lower left corner consists of only 7 diodes, namely #2 to #8. Still, the data lead 1 is connected to the #1 position. The red calbes then branches to all other #1 – data lead positions on the board, in this case 4 (one of them on the adjacent board, as explained above).
More data leads are added. They are color coded, so I hope the concept becomes clear.
It starts to look a bit confusing, but the data leads are now all connected. The wires from the switches and buttons are soldered to the other side of the diodes (the side marked with a black ring).
The finished product! To protect the contacts and avoid short circuits, I wrap the whole board in a sheet of transparent plastic.
Again, it is important to have meaningful documentation about all connections. What you see here is a drawing of the DB25 connector. It contains precise information on each cable soldered there, even including it's color.
The circuit board is also the only viable solution I can think of, if you decide to employ binary encoded rotaries (or switches) as a way of increasing the number of buttons beyond the 304 normally available in the EPIC environment. I generally do not recommend binary encoding, because it leads to enormos complications both in wiring and programing. But if you need more that 304 buttons, binary encoding is the only alternative to buying another EPIC card and expansion modules.
