Urgent Need For Shade Tree Commission

The adoption, last week, by the County Chai. her of Commerce, of a resolution urgrnj: the Board of Freeholders to CREATE A SHADE TREE COMMISSION is most timely, as this week i» brine nationally observed a* American Fores*

Week.

i Use the New County Slogan

"Vacation Land" has been adopted by the ^ourui I’uWiciiv Department as Cape May County*’ official slogan. It takes the place of "The Playground of America." which has been discarded because the word "Playground’' is part pf Atlantic Gty's nationally-known slogan. The new slogan tells a VOLUME about Cape May County IS TWO WORDS. It will bring DOLLARS into our pockets and cash registers if. as Director Ogden of the Freeholders urges, 'if ti yitvn utde publicity by tbr retortt and busi-

a«n tulrr/tlg of the county.

Some folks in the county who should KNOW BETTER insist their particular resort should advrrtn* itself alone and riot mention Cape May! County. They are NEARSIGHTED. If every! resort and ever} business house in the county

Commission.

The Freeholders ran. under existing laws, appoint such a commission and give it wide powers. This they SHOULD and. undoubtedly WILL. DO without delay.

ifi advrrttting and all stationery, use a slogan something like this: "Part of Cape Mny County— rotation Land"—rvery retort uould profit in

dollart and trull.

USE THE NEW. SLOGAN whenever you can. in >wir advertising, on your stationery and verbally, as the opportunity present*.

Prizes in County Beautiful Campaign The launching of a COUNTY BEAUTIFUL CAMPAIGN, with prizes totaling $360, is ANOther aggressive step uk™ by ih. County Clumber of Commerce to nuke the county

The contest is open to both resort and 'land residerr* and will close at the end of the pt **on.

Railroads Still Paying Experience Inland tesidents will he pleased to know that ibr Transportation Committer of the County Chamber 0 f Commerce is continuing its efforts to secure for interior communities reduced rates similar to those the resorts now enjoy. There .s NOT ONE VALID REASON why the tates should be higher inland than in the resorts The railroads MUST KNOW this. Why. then do rhrv DELIBERATELY ANTAGONIZE the folks who reside inland? : They DISCR1M1 NATE I > against the resorts for years ai ,d finally DISCOVERED THEIR MIS1AKF.
