What Are You Worth To Cape May County?

What are you worth to Cape May County '

The start ai a Sew Year i* a e°od time to think

that over.

Are you an asset or a liability ? Arc you trying to push it ahead or hold it back? Do you kiioi it or boost it? Can you sec only its laults. the things it lacks and if so, what are you doiitg about them? People who have traveled from one end of the country to the other admit Cape May County ha* natural advantages that are unsurpassed. It i*. too. right at the door of the most thickly populated sections of the country, wherein dwell nrllion* ot folks who can be lured to our shores as summer

Communities seem to have that fading so com-, to individuals, the refusal to profit by the experience, frequently costly, of other commnnme*. Not so many months ago part of Ocean Cm wa* swept by Sames. That resort learned its lesson quickly. The City Commissioner* at once parsed resolution making mmpulsors the rooting ot all buildings in the cm with fire-resistant material tr. January I. 1930. To date we ha.cn t heard o, ; any resorts pausing a similar measure, although eseryone know* it .» far easier to halt * j' Tr J* such roofing than it i» to check its sT"* 11 when once it starts its fiery game ot cbecker* among buildings that are not » pnxected.

Much has been said of co-operation, until it possibly has grown monotonous to some ears. This, however, in no way weakens th truth that Cape May County can onlv forge ahead by the cooperation of those individuals who reside within its confines. What you can do to aid in its dcvelopment may seem trifling to you, but remember that the combined effort of thousands of "yous" is what will make Cape May County the kind of

resort section nature intended it to be. Sing •» praises. That doesn't mean exaggerate

or lie a v»ut it. Far better no advertising than that built n falsehood. There are so many good things to be said about Cape May Count) you need hive no fear that the fact if i< still an infant will work against it. It's a mighty healthy young-

Sea isle Gty Needs A Publidty Director

So mon can progrew very far these days without the right kind of publicity. No resort ran get that publicity without paying WKiiething for it. PuHkiry requires systematic planning and systematic execution of plans. This can be properly done only by a man, familiar with advertising, de voting hh entire rime to the work. Such a man costs money, ot oourw. But he will pay for him *elf many times over by the - icreased buwnr,* hr

will bring to the resort.
