Guest of Tradesmen’s

"Your Building and Loan Association." said Jamea MacMaster. chief of the Building and Loan Division of the Bute Department of Banking and Insurance. In an address In the City Hall. Sea tale City, on Wednesday night “is better than the National City Bank, of New York, the greatest financial institution in the United States, when It comes to earing*. “I can prove thla," continued Mr. MacMaster "by citing you figures of a plan that is now being generally advertised by this bank, and which Is receiving strong support in New York. The plan is a deposit of flOO each month, for thirty year*, returning the investor 8(2.800. In the local Building and Loan Associations you deposit only 845 a month, and If you do it for as long as you would have to deposit 8100 a month in the National City Bank, you would get 883,000! Your Building and Loan Barings requires you to put away 855 a month less than the Bank, and returns you more money for the seme period.” Mr. MscMastei. who was here as the guest of the Trad seme n’e Building and Loan Ai^clation to explain the workings of the Building end Loan, cited this merely as an example of the rapid accumulation of money Invented in an association. With Mr. MacMaster was T. York Smith, of Camden, who is president o' the New Jersey League of Building and Loan Associations, and both attended the dinner of the directors of the Tradesmen’s Association at the Colonnade Hotel on Wednesday evening. What five dollars will do in a Building and Loan Association was surprisingly revealed by Mr. MacMaster, when he pointed out that if a person would have been put in a Building and Loan Association by bis parents when he was born, for fire shares, and bad kept paying his fire shares during hU life tim* at the age of 69 he would have accumulated the comfortable fortune of 863.000. of which only 84.140 would actually have been saved in cash, and the other 858.860 would have accumulated in the interest earnings of his association. The object of Wednesday's meeting was to better acquaint the people of Sea Isle City with the workings of building and loan associations, and to stimulate Interest In the drive for new shareholders in both local associations. The Tradesmen's Association will open its new series next month, and the Sea Isle City Association opened one this week. The latter association Is making a drive for two thousand new shares in this

DETOUR SAVES TIME Reconstruction of the Main Seashore Road between Swalnton and South Seevllle Road is progressing rapidly. Thi eastern half of this road is torn up and concrete Is being laid at Swainton. Though one-half of this road Is open for traffic many motorists detour thru South Seevllle. South Dennis and Goshen to Court House. Thoee going to Wildwood and Cape May will find Bayshore Road from Goshen to Rio Grande in good shape. This route, though four miles further, is a time saver due to *he congestion of motor trucks mauling materials, the poor condition of the road, and the long delays waiting for traffic to move.

WHITESB0R0 PIGGERIES CAUSE MANY COMPLAINTS County Physician Julius Way. who is health officer of Middle Township, reports that many of the piggeries in the vicinity of Wbitesboro are in a deplorable condition.
