County To Celebrate Opening of inlet Bridge The official opening of Corson’s Inlet bi idge—that magnificent land and water connecting link between LudUm’s Beach and Peck’s Beach—is now only a matter of a few Ays. Already dozens of automobiles are passing over the bridge, in- - dicating the anxiety of the autoists of Ocean City, Atlantic City and Sea Isle City for using this new avenue of inter-communication with one another. When the finishing touches are completed, and the bridge is formally opened, thousands upon thousands of autos will pass over it during the season; it will be a magnet drawing motorists from every section, for it will mark the first bridge of its kind iu this County and will afford a direct all-ocean route to the various resorts connected by it. Certainly the opening of this bridge, then, must be made the reason for a county-wide demonstration and celebration; every municipality, every commercial body, every individual from Cape May north would do well to make it an occasion for a united and unselfish demonstfation. Already commitecshave been appointed from the various trade’s organisations, through the Chamber of Commerce, to co-operate in making-the dedication and opening ceremony a thing of magnitude. Let them get to work at once. Let additional committees be named by the municipal governing bodies ; by the Board of Freeholders ; by the Granges. Invitations should>be out now for the speakers; the formal opening date should be set at once; definite plans should be formulated for the opening program. There is no time to be lost; advertising must be done to attract visitors by the thousands on the opening day ; an auto run with appropriate prizes might be part of the pragram. But whatever is to be done should be done NOW. And it should be done universally throughout the county. Who Won the War? The following editorial appeared in the '■'■Stars and Stripes," the official newspaper of the A. E. F. in France, on Friday May 2, 1919 : If all goes well, the peace treaty will soon be ready for signature. It is quite to be expected and altogether to be desired that no country will find that treaty exactly to its liking. Should any oue country emerge completely satisfied it would mean that there had not been at the conference the full degree of mutual concession which marks the community ..pirit when functioning wholesomely. The more acutely dissatisfied elements will be very, very audible. They will give utterance at the top of their luugs as follows : “The war has been fought in vain. 1 You will hear that said so earnestly, and on so many sides, that it will-be worth while keeping iu mind what arraut nonsense it is. America’s chief reason for going to war—also France’s chief reason aud England's—was self-defense. It was to avoid capture and enslavement by Germania on a tout. It was the same purpose which animates every jiosse of citizens who arc out to catch a maniacal burglar. Th t purpose has been achieved. The burglar-uatiou is iu the locb-up. Our chief reason lor going to war, then, lias already been rewarded If the posse, before it breaks up, can readjust the affirirs of the neighborhood so as to discouiagc future bulgarious enterprises 011 the part of any nation, so much the better. But don't let auy 1 kid you into tbiukiqg for one inomrut that wc fought the war vain. It was Germany who did that Congratulations The TIMES extends its heartiest congiatulalious to the newly elected City Commissioners of Occau City. In the choice ol Joseph G. Champion, William Campbell aud Rolierl Fisher the Ocean City electorate have shown excellent judgment aud wise foresight, for Urey are, all three, men of proven charactet aud splendid business ability, in whose hands the destiny of Cape May County’: finest cottage resort may well be entrusted. With the war ended, aud business conditions rapidly assuming . a normal trend, Ocean City, in common with all South Jersey, can look for its full measure ol progress aud development under the w guidance o( its City Managers, all of whom have previously served the City and served it well. The Music Question Now is the time when the engaging of a hand for the populai summer concerts in Sea Isle City should Ik- undertaken. Now tin style, class and kind ol music to Ik tendered this season should Ik decided, and a suitable band engaged. Lust year the experiment with a local organization—Uie P. O. S. of A. Band of South Seavillr—was iiied and woiked out very Mtis&ctorily. It is likely tliat a simik* two-uight-a-wcek atiaugcmenl could Ik made this year. Something should be done, and at ouce, to assure band concerts during the
