Religion: In Red Bank

Six days does Felix Delia Vecchia labor and do all that he has to do. On the seventh he does some more. Mr. Delia Vecchia operates a taxi service (four cabs) from headquarters near the Red Bank, N. J., railway station.

Lately Mr. Delia Vecchia reached a new conclusion about his seventh-day labors. Last week he sought out a printer’s shop and soon his hundreds of patrons in Red Bank received, or beheld in the four Delia Vecchia taxicabs, an unusual announcement.

On the first Sunday of each month hereafter, said the cards, let any person call the Delia Vecchia garage and a Delia Vecchia cab will promptly call for him and take him, free of charge, to “the first mass only.”

Asked if his offer was good for Catholics only, generous Mr. Delia Vecchia replied: “Catholics and Protestants, alike. And I will continue this service as long as I can afford it, because I believe in helping along the churches all I can.” Last Sunday was the first Sunday of the new month. Mr. Delia Vecchia received no call for free church rides. Said he: “I don’t understand the people of Red Bank. They are either too lazy to get up and go to church, even with free taxi service, or think that there is something crooked or strange because they are getting something for nothing.”
