A COUNTY FACTOR OF IMPORTANCE The regular monthly meeting and the annual ladies' night of the Cape g May County Chamber" of Commerce . } met at Wildwood Wednesday evening | t in the High School AuditoriumDelegations representing every section of the county were present and | j an interesting session ensued- , Students of the Wildwood Schools i , ^ gave an interesting entertainment ' • '• preceding the regular meeting- The | program follows: I ( Selection, H.

Typewriting demonstration, Com- , Ihetgjal dgpartment.^ , H. ST'Calisthenics, Seventh grade | ; pupils." y . The visitors, were welcomed by ( j j Mayor W. Courtright Smith who | | made a plea for co-operation in for- , ' I warding the movement to promote , Two Mile Beach, the connecting link between Five Mile Beach and Cape , May, amhjhc Cape May harbor. The . Mayor pointed out that by this devel- \ opment the distance betvyeen the , _ northern points and the south would | be materially shortened and a port of | entrj- at Cape May harbor would be ; ' an' asset to the county because of the , ' traffic drawn through. This traffic , J is now going entirely by train or cn- ( tering the port of New York and being lost to the resorts of South Jer- , i -scy. Mr- Smith, in speaking of the , development of a resort on Two Mile ] | pointed out the necessity of having ' the plans laid out on a scientific and f sensible plan rather than have it left . I to happen on circumstances-. In con- j . eluding, the Mayor made it clear that , , the project was a vision and stated j t that while the freeholders who had | , started the work on Two Mile Beach , ' might have made mistakes in the , manner of, proceeding, tliey tQo, must" ] •have had visions of the" possibilities , of tHfe development to the county.. , |- -President Lqther C Ogd^n next in- i t troduced H- foster; Goslin, the new _\ president* of the Wildwood^oard of ; Trade, who welcomed the gathering t to the city and called1 attention to tliree material facts about the county. First of these was the need of ad- t vertising the county as a county. Mr- ( ' Goslin likened the county to a flower , blooming in the .depths of a forest : with no one "to appreciate the fra- , ' granee. The second point made was i x 1 the need 'of better train service and ^ •' in particular a later tjain northward! from the resorts, and -finally he tal- 1 lej attention to the fact that next! year "an eighteen Jiole golf course [ wotild.be. ready— Wildwood's course,] 5 arid therefore th county's and the j \ •— ' N

V • only one of its size in this sectionUnder reports of committees, former Senator Lewis T. Stevens presented a resolution for the legislative committee, which favored the Cape May-Lewes ferry. The resolution was adopted. . This is the measure wVich Senator William Harry Bright pledged himself to support before the last election and the subject which be and Assemblyman Robert J- Kay will speak about at the fonpal opening of the new home of \the Progressive League at Cape May. Monday evening, December 4th. C- A. Norton reported for the Public Improvements Committee that copies of Mr. Ogden's article, "The County Beautiful," and letters were, being sent out throughout the county.

The committee on changes in the by-laws handed in their report in the form of an amendment which permits the taking in of Associate Members i members when admitted will - all the rights and privileges of the other members excepting the votwing. This has beep a much needed . change for a long time and will go i far toward energizing the Chamber I with new life fron\,time to time as there arc many throughout the county who are interested and would like to take an active part, but «wing to the fact that the voting representatives from each section must be limited, therefore they haVe been unable participate in the activities. Folthe usual proceedure the amendment' was laid oh the table lAitil ngxt meeting nightA Jetter from the Miami Chamber of Commerce Was read- It stated that about §110,000 would be spent thh* Winter for advertising and anrasements. A part of this, .the grfeater part, would be paid by the -city and the balance collected in varlomr wavs. It was an example of what cam he done and what is being doiye in other resort sections. Harry L. Nickerson ' presented a resolution, requesting that action be taken to better the station facilities at Winslow Junction on the Reading. was adopted and referred to the - CommitteeLewis T- . Stevens, of' Cape May, sfloke in favor of legislation to raise the salary of "the three coromissioners who will take the place of the present freeholders- He ' -called at1 tention to the fact that -as a matter of fact they would receive but $1,000 under the present law, because the population of the county had dropped to 19,000 from -22,000, and in view . of the fact that the valuation is about $39,000,000, and the rron -when elected, would have to.devore practically ail their time to the work they should have more.. Mayor Smith of Wildwood, replied with the suggestion that the legislation committee gather all the facts the case and present them at the . next- meeting of the Chamber ' Before closing -the session it was .announced that the next, meeting I would he in Ocean City.

county bankers meet here FINANCIAL MEN HELD INTERESTING SESSION AT THE NEW HOME OF THE PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE. IMPORTANT TOPICS UNDER DISCUSSION On Thursdhy evening at the, room* of the Progressive League,, the Cape ' May County Bankers' Association, met- and discussed . many important . matters as well as having an enjoyable social gathering. The regular program included a discussion oF building associations* in an" able paper by H- R. Thorn, of Ocean City, which induced quite a prolonged debate upon methods of co-operation as between the banks and building associations. This was followed by an address by Hon. H. H. Eldredge upori the necessity " for the practice of thrift by individuals and institution*, and the duty of banks by precept and example to 'teach thrifty practices. ■The subject was presented in a remarkable and comprehensive mannerThere were about fifty people - present, including representatives from all but two banks, those* at Tuckal\oe and Court House- A fine lunch was provided by the Cape May I BankersHoward Thoni, of Ocean City, whose grandfather organized tee firist building and loan association in the United States gave a very, inter-' esting talk on the building and loans. ' Mr. Thorn said in part, that there ■ are fifteen building and loan associa1 tions in Cape May county with five thousand and three shares of stock subscribed and that it was the buildloans of the- county, state and nation that caused people to be thrifty. He said if one would take out five shares of building loan stock und when- it to invest it at six per centand then take more stock, if he continued to do that, et the age of sixty years he would have accumulated fifteen thousand dollars, and at the age of seventy he would have thirty-one thousand dollars , If the person started -at the age of fifteen. Several bankers and building and' loan association men present uyged more co-operation with the building and loans by the banks and -trust company's of the state. An interesting episode occurred in " connection with the -building^- association discussion .when Secretary Rutherford of the focal r - -.:ciation, stated that Commissioner Wentzell, of this city. ■ who was present, was | very much interested in association and could contribute something of value to the debate- Mr. • Wentzell wds promptly invited *o state his /iews by the chairman and did so with flis usual -vigor, announcing teat whereas the local association had been operating rather as a -one-horse concern in the past, using part of its opportunities for business, its board of directors were now determined" to push its business into four-horse, dimensions, using every' available resource. and giving all the assistance possible to the building up of Cape May and vicinity- ** President Mofi-er called on A- W. of the county schools, who said thai the thrift habit was growing in the public schools of Cape May county, and. that it was amazing- how scholars in the school? owned Bonds; a1/) Thrift StampsJudge Eldredge said that he was amazed to see the ' vast amount of farm land, in Cape May county that going, to Waste, and he urged 'a to the farm movement in Gape May county. He 'claimed that the farmers, do .npt get full yield out -of the soil and he was more than sure that" the cost of' the vocational instructor in Cape May county had than justified the cost.- He said •that as a rule the thrift among the • s rural class of people was more marKed than in large cities, and that during the -world war t[iat the farmer did npt get /his feet off the ground, but went along on conservative lines, and 'was hof'excited over the big wages that were being earned in the industries, and because of that fact did not have to readjust himsrilf. after the war. - - A'vfcry nice luncheon was served at . the. close of the meeting by the Cafre bank/- # • j EDGAR P-.STITES.
