POMONA GRANGE MEETING

The fall meeting of the Pomona Grange of the county,' occurred at Rio Grande, Saturday afternoon and evening, October 16th, 1 and, as usual, was attended by 1 a large number of people. The fine grange hall was utilized as a 1 place of meeting and it is said that 1 the Rio Grande and Cold Spring 1 grange halls are among the best in 1 the state. There was the conferring ' of the degree upon a number of ap- 1 plicants {hiring the evening, after the ! supper provided by the ladies of the 5 Rio Grande grange was disposed of, ' and .succeeding this there was an open ! session under the charge of the lecturer ' A. D. T. Howell, the program consist- ' ing pf musical and literary selections by ladies of the grange and the chil- ' dren of Rio Grande school, under the ' direction of the teachers, Mrs. Edna 1 Endicott ahd Mrs. Tronnem. Follow- 1 < ing this, H. C. Sampson, supervisor of ' Agricultural Instruction of the State 1 iversity at New Brunswick, was in- I t jdoced and gave a very interesting ' iid instructive lecture upon the work 1 tf the County Vocational School in 1 Agriculture of this county, and the ' great national movement, of which i this is a part, for vocational schools. ' He dwelt upon the fact that Cape May : county was one of the first of the : counties of the state to organize for 1 this work under the laws of the state i passed in 1913, and that our vocation- : al schools became a part of the great 1 national movement which was launch- 1 ed by laws passed by Congress in ! 1917. He then gave brief detailed : aooounts of work done by students '■ in this county, quoting from the an- ! ual report of the State Commissioner ! of Education, closing this part of his remarks by reading the statement of 1 the county superintendent of schools ' to the effect that abundant evidence 1 can be cited to support Hie view that the farmers of the county have 1 profited by the operations of the ' school to a much greater amount than * the whole cost of the school. He explained, also, that the schools are supported by appropriations from the county, state and federal governments, the county's contribution being .the smallest, every dollar invested by the county bringing nearly two dollars from state and federal sources. It may be added, also, that almost all of 1 this money is spent within the county and with county people. County Superintendent, A. W. Hand, was then called upon and stated that this meeting might well be called the sixth anniversary of the launching of the vocational school idea in this oounty, since six years ago, in the same place, he had had the pleasure of meeting with the Pomona Grange to explain the laws passed during the previous year (1913) permitting the establishment of a vocational school in agriculture and household arts, and to solicit the endorsement of the grange for the organization of such a school in . this county. The resolutions offered upon that occasion had been passed unanimously, and this was the first step undertaken in prepara tion for the creation under the State law of Cape May county's vocational school in agriculture. Practically everybody now recognized the fact that the movement had proven itself very successful in aiding the development of improved methods in agriculture throughout the county, and had established itself as a valuable institution for the farming interests. He pointed out that it is distinctively a county proposition promoted, in all of its parts, by people who have but one aim, and that the prosperity and development of their native county. The County Board of Education is composed of men appointed by Judge Eldredge, all of whom are most progressive and public spirited men. The Board includes Dr. John S. Douglass, of Cape May Court House; Dr. Eugene Way, of Dennisville; E. L. Rice, of Tuckahoe; Ralph Taylor, of Cold Spring; and A. W. Hand, county superintendent of schools, ex-officio. The teachers are, Richard Reeves, of West Cape May, who is in charge of the lower portion of the oounty, and S. E. Stone, of Woodbine, who is in charge of the upper section of the county. Mr. Stone has resided in the oounty since infancy, obtaining his preliminary education in the county schools and is a graduate of a four years course in college, in which agriculture and kindred science were his major subjects. The Household Arts department is ia charge of Miss Maud Kezar. who was in charge of the domestic science department of Ocean City school for four years awl who has had extensive school training for her work, as well as a wealth of experience.

These constitute an exceptionally able corps of teachers and they are at 1 the disposal of the men and women of the county to the fullest extent in their various lines. Prof. Sampson's . address will be published in full in a later issue. COLORED WOMEN'S REPUBLICAN ASSOCIATION The Republican Association of Colored Women, of Cape May County, is an organization that has come into J being since the passage of the Nine- I teenth Amendment- Robert Keith, j of West Gape May, seems to be en- j titled to the credit for instituting- the j movement which culminated in this j organization. It is certainly right if ' not necessary that there should be; such organizations and the white wo- j of the county need to follow suit, 1 'if they have not already done so. A series of meetings under the auspices j of the association have been inaugu- > rated, the first being held on Monday, | October 11th. Tne purpose of these meetings has been to enroll every eligible woman In the county and to provide speakers capable of giving instruction in thej process of voting and ! in the questions arising regarding the I principles advocated by the different j political parties. In a letter before j contributed for publication by thej organizer, there occurs the crisp state- 1 ment that "The selfish office-seeking element of Cape May county, will j please be careful to keep hands off this organization, as it might be either , for their success or downfall in the 1 future. It is being perfected as a constituent part of the Republican | . party without factional divisions, and it is not the intention that it shall be j used as a "tool" for any selfish inter- 1 est. If there is to be a factional divi- i sion at some future date, it must come | from those who are not fighting over such small loaves and fishes as we | seen down this way." Another ' interesting excerpt is as follows: "Let us pray that these women will | not be attacked for selfish purposes . with 'subsidies' around election time — they will never seek it." The meetings have been financed by i i the taking of collections for literature, j . and requiring of every town or local- j "ity that it provide its own meeting place A statement of purpose is to the j • effect that "We are going to use our j influence for those whom we believe . to be the best Republicans for such . offices as are sought and for which , we are to help make the selections of j ; candidates in any primary or regular ' election." The letter concludes as fol- ' "The organization will not be gov- I erned by one or two persons; instead, ' it will be governed by a powerful ex- ' ecutive committee of (21) women of j , good report with the necessary intelligence and honesty to render effi- | cient service and protect the good name of the organization. The term i of office will last until sometime ' around the 1st of September, 1921, | when new officers will be elected. The present officers of the organ- I ization are: Mrs. Virginia Lattimore, i president; Mrs. Moultre, 1st vice-pres- : ident; Miss M. B. Hawkins, of Ocean ' 1 City, 2nd vice-president; Mrs. Julia ' Taylor, recording secretary; Mrs. Del- | la V. Johnson, assistant secretary; ' Mrs. L. M. Wilson, Financial secretary; Mrs. M. Satterfield, assistant j financial secretary; Mrs. Annie Keith, treasurer. The Advisory Board con- ^ sists of Robert H. Keith, general or- ^ ganizer and chairman of the Board; MacLain Lofton, of Whitesboro, Mr. Moultre, of Wildwood; Coleman Tay- j lor, of Cape May Court House; and s two or three other members yet to be appointed." \ AMERICAN LEGION NEWS t ' After a long summer's vacation the '• Harry Snyder Post, No. 193, of the s American Legion has again resumed e its meetings. We are deeply grate- " ful to the Commissioners of Cape May , L City for their generosity in consenting to our appeal for the use of the | • Council Chamber for our meeting - rooms. f Thursday night, October 14th, the I' Post assembled^for a business meet- '• ing. Many importanT~matters were j ' discussed, among them being the State I ' Bonus to be submitted to the\people ' a of New Jersey, for their approval or! n disapproval in the November election. | e To review the matter of the bonus, the j n state of , New Jersey approved a s Statute oil April 13th, 1920, in which! y $10.00 per month with a maximum of ■ r $100.00 would be paid to the veterans I of the World War for each month of 8 service between March, 1917. and > November, 1918. If a former sen-ice s man is deceased, his dependents are j o entitled to the bonus. The people of e Cape May are earnestly called upon r to give this matter their si nee rest cone cero when visiting the polls in Noll venter. It has been proven repeatedly that any man in the service lost

1 considerable compensation by not be1 i ing able to take advantage of the- high ' wages being paid during the war per- • ' i iod. From this condition the bonus ' was first instigated. Another im1 portant fact that must be kept in ' mind is that the eyes of the nation are focused on New Jersey to see what action they are going to take ' in reimbursing their war veterans. • | The outcome of the election will, in a " I great measure, effect the National Compensation Act. that is to be acted upon very shortly. Act as your conscience dictates but keep in mind the Doughboy with his $30.00 per month and the Shipworker with his fat pay j envelope at the end of every week, e j The comrades present Thursday e night expressed their appreciation d ! very enthusiastically when the re- - freshments were served. - A movement was started in the ^ ; spring of 1920, to raise funds from j ; the people of this community to erect a monument in memorial and as a token of appreciation of the people for j e the gallant work of the boys of Cape May and- vicinity in their work in the j World war. Nothing more has been : heard of it since then. However, the : I Legion men in this city want to go ' l on record as saying that a memorial , e : building, with social facilities and ! reading rooms would be far more ac- : ^ ! ceptable than a cold shaft of stone ' ^ i standing out in the middle of the j g | street, doing no one any great good. ! f | What Cape May needs more than j djany other thing is a club room where e the young men can meet in a clean | e ; environment. If the funds for the j if proposed monument could be diverted n to a cause whereby an organization i- of this nature could be established by h the American Legion, and by no ;- means limiting the membership to exit service men. but as associate members

invite the younger men of the com- 1 i Qhunity to join. The Legion can do ; nothing in a venture of this kind with- I i out the wholehearted support of every business man and every citizen of 1 i Cape May. May we hope for some ( i action along these lines ? i
