Will Help County Resorts

The Stale Highway Commission has decided to hard surface the seven mile* of road from Egg Harbor to Mays Landing spring. Announcement of the intention of the commission was made eltltens of both Egg Harbor and Maya Landing. p business o cities effected made a visit to Trenton to urge the Highway Commission to begin work highway this spring. Several members of the Chamber of Commerce of tte two cities were in the party. It is believed the impression made by the Urge South Jersey delegation was strong enough to speed up the proposed work, has. however, long been known that the commission has been desirous of speeding up work on Improvement of highways leading to the resorts of the South Jersey coast. Actual construction work the' improvement of other highways in South Jersey, for which coutracts hare already awarded, will take place about April 1. Assurances are given that contractors will begin the laying of flve miles of new paving on Delsea Drive, between Millville and Vineland, approaching Malaga. early in April. This project, it Is said, will represent an outlay of nearly tl.000.000 by the State. Other large sums will be spent by the State upon the bridge approaches to Camden this year. These operations. It is said, may extend as far as Gloucester Coun-

ty.

Efforts are still being made to have the State take over Black Horse Pike, over which there was so much agitation. Mays Landing people look for a considerable boom to the town with the pat log of the Cape Mayroad. and believe that bus service will be provided to carry passengers direct to the south coast resorts. thereby giving Mays Land-Ing-Philadelphla bus service as well. It Is also believed that selection of this ties- route will hasten the proposed branch railroad from Mays Landing to Ocean City. The hard surfacing of this stretch of road will be a great benefit to Cape May County resorts as It will leave but the short stretch from Mays Landing to Tuekaboe unpaved of a through hard surfaced road from Phlla- . dclpbia to Cape May resorts. Pnvlng of the live miles of the Delsea Drive between Millville and Vineland, is another step in closing the unpared gaps in this ^ road and It is also said the gsp from Vineland and Franklltnlll* * is to be hard surfaced this year. If this proves true then there sill remain but the stretch between Bncksboro and the bard surfacing done above Rio Grande to give Cape May resorts another hard surfaced road to Philadelphia.

Next morning I helped him out to the taxi that was to take him to the station. As I said before. I like waxed floors.

Folks: The funny side of life. seems, slips by a lot of folk. They never gel fhe benefll of any bloomin' joke. The little things that tickle one. and provoke a smile, are Just the things that, after all, make living worth the while. I have a lot of sympathy for men who cannot grin. They lose the fun most people get by letting sunshine In. Their facial lines, instead of up. are always turning down. But this would change if they would let a smile replace their frown. A hearty welcome always waits the man who's fulf cheer. The world at large will greet him 'cause It's mighty glad he's here. He spreads sort of spirit that can make the world look bright. He thinks laugh's a tonic and he always finds he's right. Come on. you sombre people who are dull and sad of face, produce a smile and knock the frown and sourness out of place. You've only got to try a bit; it's soft to make the grade. Step out and threw a laughter fit and join the joy parade,

A little girl from Cape May was crossing the Atlantic with her mother. It was her first ocean trip. The sea was as smooth as the proverbial millpond for the first three days: then the ship began rolling -nd pitching heavily. The child could not undersund what had happened "Mama." she said, what's the matter; ate we on 1 detour?" ? t t I •T don't mind housekeeping. ' 1
