The power companiec of New Jeisey have exhibited interest in the survey and are co-operating by furnishing maps of their lines and substations.

twn an end to the

historical soccett # & cotnrrr seed Anyone who heard the address of Mr. Frank H. Stewart before the Sea Isle City Rotary Club

of a historical society in Cape May County. The county has a wealth of most valuable histori-

whkh should be collected and properly filed away for safe keeping and future reference. Much of the official records in the County Clerk's office, dating back to the early days of the county, is no doubt in need of better care and would disclose a wealth of information, unknown to the

present generation.

Each year the task of collecting the material not in official fcands will become increasingly difficult, as the older residents die and their eSects become scattered. Our neighboring county of Cumberland has two historical

There is the Cumber-

land Comity Historical Society, with headquarters in the county courthouse, provided by the Board of Freeholders, which has been an active forte for years in collecting and taking care of the historical resources of the county. The Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society, with a handtome building made possible through the generosity of Charles K. Landis, the founder of the town, as well as of Sea Isle City, has done a splendid work in collecting and preserving early records of Vineland and Cumberland County, as well as articles of historical value of the town, county and early years oi all South Jersey and the country at large. These societies have files all ti e newspapers of the county reaching back since their first publication, which of themselves will be of great value the years to come to the general

public.

Vineland sodtty, "Greenwich and Its Homes," and the “Greenwich Tea Burning Monument," are of great historical value, giving as they do a complete and concise history of that section of South Jersey Lorn the coming of Fenwick down to recent years, gathered by one born and raised the ground and splendidly equipped for the task. There is a wealth of jute such material lying around in Cape May County, waiting for some to take up the task of com-

piling it. f

The task of creating a sentiment for and organiring such a society is a work which might well engage the attention of the County Clumber of Commerce and the service dubs of the county, and we call upon them to

take up the task.

Avoidnr White Horse Pike

A chorus of protests has gene up from autotnobiilta who use the White Horse Pike that the

Tired te Money in Wittes Philadelphia Ledger: Senator

Phipps, of Colorado who is chairman of the Republican Senate Campaign Committee, says that

very little money will be spent

for the Senate campaigns. The word has been passed down the line from President Coolldgc that

Outside the States of Pennsyl-

vania and Illinois there has been

little complaint this year of extravagant money-spending, either

in the primaries or the later campaigns. In New Hampshire and Vermont there seemed to be plenty of tola but not eo much

money. In the Border States

everybody seems to be watching his step. The dene of publicity
