WHT MOT A MDUQPAL BATHIMO POOL? It has bien sucrested thl by a person Interested In Sea Isle City's derelopmept, that a municipal bathine, or sarimmlnx pool, would be a decided aaaet to the resort, and provide greater sport for our Tlalton than any other one thin*. But we have the oceac to bathe In! Is the natural objection.. Right. But the ocean Is not always pleasant, and at no time is safe for an Inexpert swimmer. Southern resorts have found their swimming pools their most popular places. Practically all have pools, and they are used more than the ocean. A large swimming pool, located near the beach, and with salt water pumped in and out of It every minute of the day. would be an attraction that would draw people from near and Ur. And the oust of Installing such a pool would not be large, and the upkeep would bt negligible. Now Is a good time to consider this suggestion, to get It ready for next season. And Sea Isle City would then have the lead on every other resort along the Jersey Coast, even including Atlantic City, which, while It has swimming pools, have a nice charge attached to their

use.

Here's something for the Chamber of Commerce to think about.

PRIMARIES TWO WEEKS OTP With the Primary Election only a little more than two weeks away, the thoughts of the voters are turning once again to candidates and to parties. This Is as It should be. for only by earnest thought and effort can the best be obtained In our government and can Democracy be maintained. At every election there are many voters who stay home— enough in fact to sway the tloe of victory one way or the other. These voters should be aroused to the sense of their responsibilities and should be gotten out to the polls. Public business is the business of the average cltlien. He should be anxious for real business men handle public affairs. Cape May County Republicans are fortunate In having tbe opportunity to vote for business men, “100 per cent Republican.** For Senator. Robert J Kay; for Assembly. Cbsrlrf J. Read; for County Clerk.

"This country," said he. “would not be s land of opportunity. America would not be America, if the people were shackled with government monopolies." Like great Republicans who have preceded him. the President believe* that "That system is best which gives the individual the largest freedom of action, and the largest opportunity for honorable accomplishment." It was President Harding who coined the phrase. "Lass government In business but more buslnew. in government." That sound policy u a fundamental of the Coolldge Administration.
