FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION I I TO BE PLANNED FOR GAPE MAY v i 'Ambitious Citizens Would Have Unusual Celebration=*=Should be Successful for ' Patriotic Reasons s ? * i

J "> (By Sand Burr) J Is Cape May going to have a grand and widely known Fourth of July ceuebration? Is it to be bigger and r better than ever? If it is and there is no reason why it should not excel! any .former celebration, it is about time to get busy and make some | " plans. The plans for this occasion have formerly been in. the hands of the Board -of Trade and' that should ~ be the case this year, but the burden of planning and financing the proposition should not rest on the handful yf- Cape May's citizens who have sufficient civic pride to affiliate ^ themselves with such a worthy organization as the Board of Trade. A few suggestions in regard to the manner of celebration may be in order and if they are of no value in themselves they may call forth other } suggestions from our citizens which will be worth while. In the first ' place, .since Cape May is noted for its glorious past and .for/its historic set- . tinj^ we should secure an orator of national fame to orate on that occasion.. It .would not be impossible -to secure such men as Vice President Coolidge, Seiwtor Knox, Senator Willis, Hon. Victor Murdock, Secretary Hughes or Herbert Hoover, for such an occasion. All we need Is a little nerve, persistency and money. Men of such renown would bring bacg the prestige 'and fame Cape May held among resorts in the days when she - .was visited by President Harrison h aiiil-nutny other noted men. On that day It is my opinion that the musical feature of our entertainment of our visitors should be aug-, mented. This might* be done by securing a well known soloist to sing for us, by having, a well trained chorus of local people render some attractive choruses as was done last year but with greater numbers. We should also have a band of music on that day to supplement the work of our orchestra, 4 band of quality and reputation. This band should enliven the occasion by rendering music on the streets of our town during the morning, and follow that with a parade to Convention "pier where the' orator and the singing would be heard. In- the" early afternoon there should be a concert by our orchestra fbllowed by. the usual play_ or vaudeville which should also- be elaborate and high cjass, 'after which we should have the special entertainment for the children. The early evening should be taken up by a band concert on the pier followed by dancing, with music furnished by our orchestra: * Above all let us not forget the this year. Cape May has a larger proportion of children among ' -hfcr guests in the summer ' months than any other shore resort. Our manner of entertaining thenu will have a great deal to do " with the munbej- of^mrlts that wjll come here"] after they are grow„n. We hear" many times adults say, "I have come to Cape May ever since I • was a child." These are the best advertisements any place can have. . So that our children* therefore may feel that, they are a part of the "performance, why not have h definite feature for children at our Fourtl^of July celebration? .Last year we. advertised a display of fireworks for the children. The. writer yas interested and tried all day to find where and when it was given. Apparently the plan .went awfy. Let me suggest thaia fantastic parade on the boardwalk ledv by the band in which the kiddies appear in grotesque and patriotic costume with prizes awarded for the best in the several classes would be a good substitute for -the fireworks display. Then' too let us give to each youngster some kind of a Cape Maj- souvenir. The value may be small but however little it will make them feel the whole city recog-

1 nizes them and appreciates their 2 d presence. " t y This sounds no doubt like a full > d program for one day but should it ( e not be so? The variety of the sug- j U gested' program certainly indicates v t that every visitor wilL be attracted by r eiat least one phase of it if* he at all c has a soul and there will be some- ( e | thing to entertain at the pier every a e hour of .the day so that guests will d not have to sit around several hours j 1 unoccupied as they did last year and a ' then go home saying thqy had a slow f • time. t e Of course such an elaborate pro- -t e gram will take effort and money. It i, " is my belief that in the hands of the fc Board °f Trade it can be put across. a s The City Commissioners will back it • as far as they can, but it will be 3 1 mainly up to the business men and a r other citizens of Cape May to con- ! ,| 1 tribute to the move. The expense c t would not exceed $2500 and the writ- r s er stands ready to be one. to solicit 1 c - that amount for the Boatd of T rarle I s f to use for that purpose as soon as 1 1, - the Board calls for action. - The 0 ' amount expended will come back to ^ : us manifold..

CAPE MAY FIRM SPREAD WINGS LARGE LUMBER MILL AT PITMAN WILL BE OPERATED BY LUTHER C. ,OGDEN— BUILDING BOOM EXPECTED. George Ogden, and Son, who condutt^an upto-date lumber yard and mill iilNthis ci^y, have bought the business of George W. Carr, pld established concern at Pitmaq, Jersey, and will maintain the same high order _ of efficiency that -has characterized their' service at M.ay for so many years. After first this newly acquired braneh will be under the chpable. manage-' ment of Stacy M. Robbins, of this city, who ha?S»e^n connected with the mills in Cape May for quite long time. The Cape May yard of this comi? exceptionally well -equipped, and with the addition of this other mill at Pitman, no order will be , large for this firm to handle in the future. The increased _ purchas ing power of this company will also ■ highly beneficial to both Pitman and Cape May. The broadeninfc of this industry is , another answer to the very present , j and potent question of. supply and 1 1 I Homes are needed in this , ( • community. As is always the case, I rents and s«>":ni' irices are high be- 1 1 j the demand is great and the j j supply of homes is limited. Of course, j materials, like all other j commodities, have been almost pro- j hibitive in price during the war pe- ^ riod, bill vwith. the new adjustment j which is bound to come, and with the 1 added facilities and cooperation of t lumber company, a building boom ; should be started in Cape May not ] than Labor Day, to celebrate a , new and vital' labor interest in the j creation and promotion of a truly 1 Cape May. 1 1-1 J < Nature Insists that we adap't our- ; selves to conditions or change- the I ; conditions — take your choice. j • J.

The first meeting of the newlyformed Progressive League of Cape ' May was held at McCann's Auditori- * 8 urn on ^ Monday last. The activities , • . of this organization will be' "too' var- ■ ied to enumerate here but it is" suffi8 cient to say that it is formed for the ; purpose of ^ pushing ahead in every • possible way for the advancement of ' our fity. , 1 The social features will be taken care of as soon as arrangements can ' be made for the league to 'occupy its 8 own rooms which will be fitted out 8 as a modern club room where the members may take a friend and en- • tertain him with pool, shuffle boards, ' j \; At last week's meeting after the : election of temporary officers the bylaws of the Ocean City League were read, and it is expected that their 1 ruling will he closely followed by the new league.
