NUKE, FERRY • AND BUS UMES PROTECTION OF ROADS ' AND PROJECTS PARTLY FINISHED. THE GRASSY SOUND BRIDGE TO PUT ROAD INTO USE, THE , 1 FERRY TO OPEN THE WAY, TO , : NEW BUSINESS AND A RE- , ! LIABLE BUS LINE TO CONNECT ( RESORTS ARE NEEDED. * - — — -V , i A few years ago the Chambtfco-af. | Commerce of the seashore resort! was organized with the idea of premot- , ing the growth and fostering the in- , terests of that section oftthe county , which makes it possible for the^un- ( ty to grow — bhe coast ancl the j 5 After the organization the resorts , decided that the farmers' iiffcrests. and their own were identical, and the charter was opened to admit the Granges, and the "countryside became an interested partner in the JJhamber"s .affairs. . ^ j Since that time the Chamber has j grown in importance and the results , obtained hag® been all that its foun- i had hoped. j Just now one of Hie most import- ( ant questions before that body is the t Cape May-Lewes ferry, which has r been attempted several seasons, but j for various reasons has fallen thru ^ as many times. Now the business ^ men of the county feel that the fer- ^ ry is not only a necessity, but better yet, a possibility for the coming season. One of the drawbacks in for- t mer times has been the dispute as to where the ferry would land on the Jersey side. Now the broadminded men of the county say ft c desn't matter wherd it la-ads so it is ( somewhere on the southern tip of the county in a safe and sensible spotAll the resorts will have an equar ' opportunity to reap the benefits of the southern visitors, once they land. The field will be a fair one and no - favors sought excepting these per 1 culiar ones that a resort has that an; other does not, that is either natural has been made different from that of its rivals. v. 1 For instance, while Cape May and ; Wildwood are both shore resorts they ) are as different as can be in many j respects. Cape May's beach front and boardwalk are altogether different ' from Wildwood's, and in many other ; features they are unlike, so that | they appeal to different people in dif- , ferent ways- For. these reason? and many others the resorts are pulling . together to get the ferry along with other things. A Permanent Bus Line All the resorts, and the countryside as well, are interested in a bus line | for the coming season. There isn't la section along the eastern side of county that does not reap a benei fit' from having a bus line- run on a | schedule not only during the summer season, but during the winter months as wellI The bus lines fill in a transportation place not reached by railroads | by boat lines. In many instance? they, by connecting with, railroad terminals, make a connecting link that is now sadly missing. A bus line from Ocean City to Cape May and touching ;the intermediate resorts is a paying proposition during the seasoh and the resorts get the benefit all along thft line. The cfluntjHomws this and so does a score 'of small .fry that are planning to run "wild cat? bia lines between the resorts next yea*, • Some of these men who Want tq. run the lines between two Vr more resorts or touching all are^ worthy men but have notTthe' backing ^in their present status to conduct a line on a large enough scale to warrant serious consideration as a permanent proposition- Perhaps if all these would-be-owners of bus lines who are sincere and dependable could be incorporated into one line with the backing of the resorts the results would be all that could be desired. But rununing as separate companies with no controlling power they might a menace rather than an asset to the. resorts. Irresponsible drivers make for accidents, and an accidertt or two would "undo all the good results in a short time. If accidents come — and they are bound to the law of averages— owners running on a shoe string would be unable to meet the situation as would . a big company Vith adequate backing financially and bondsmen arid insurance. There is another class of men who saw the possibilities last sunnier and it is from these "wild cattftrs" the resorts hawe to anticipate real trouble if they are permitted to enter at will and without a strong restraining hand- and governing power over them. These are the men who— to cite one instance — will come from Camden with -a bus or two, perhaps a new one or two ramshadde affairs ; ■

'' It is to be hoped that the* Chandler ' ' of Commerce or the governing bodies of the resorts wiH get together on , [ the bus line question before the sens- (" on approaches and produce an inter- ' resort line that will satisfy every - , concerned and make travel easy t " the resorts. 1 Another line or a branch of the i company might well extend its £ route into Mill ville over the bayside road- Here again it will not interfere with the railroads but will draw 1 from the towns and villages between £ and the shore where there are no fommon carriers established- j \ FLOODLIGHTS MAY REPLACE t FOOTLIGHTS f Stage lighting, which has during £ the past generation reached a point g art so high it might wen 6e con- g sidered close to perfection, promises make another forward step. Tho ! American theatrical electricians have achieved some effects that appear to ^ the audience to be little short of , marvelous, so perfect are the Dins- £ they convey, it has never been c possible to eliminate footlights < whose glare in the eyes of stage- • folk is troublesome and at times dis- j concerting. But from Germany comes the an- t nouncement that floodlights, properly r placed and directed, can be made to ■ dp all the work- of footlights with- £ out possessing their objectionsTwo large reflectors, totally eh- f closed, aje placed high up on the stage, fftie on each side- In front of g , each light is a lens, with dimming " arrangements and various coloring | possibilities provided. rThe effect is ( reported as entirely satisfactory, tho ( yet have beex tried in America.

It has beer, tbc aim of the County Schools to have aa apple exhibit at the Horticatrura! meeting, which is held ia Atlantic City early December, each yearSuch an exMbit has been made for the three past yean and "have been creditable to the work. W'e finally reached the paint' where we were not satisfied with an exhibit only, but decided to enter into the "prize Contest ExMbit." Early in the spring plans ware made with some of the students in apple projects which we hoped would us' some recognition in the December exhibit. The late spring cold freeze this year which struck our, fruit trees during the late budding season, was very discouraging feature to the students. Nevertheless, the orchard spraying and culture was with hopes for some results fpr their efforts. Again the long dry spell afour orchards by causing a great deal of fruit drbp. Yet in face of the above mentioned conditions orchards gave good returns, and, in consequence of this, a very good exhibit was made at the County Fair, last fall. During the late summer projeef visits of orchards it w»s deeded toan exhibit from the orchards of J. C. Elliott & Sons, of Cold of agriculture in Cape May High Spring, for tho Horticultural F.xhih- * it One son is a vocational student The father and other sons are deeply interested in all agricultural activities. They are getting results jn their work, raising good f crops which they readily sell on the market at profitable prices. Their apples were particularly, fine and sold at high prices this year. In September the vocational in* structor called at the farm and together with the sons went out in the I orchard to make a selection for the exhibit. We found we had put this off a little too long as several varieties were nearly all sold, this making it difficult to .get a good exhibit. The selection was made and at the suggestion of the instructor was sent John Repp Cold Storage Plant to kept for the exhibit. The apples were shipped from there to Atlantic City in December, arriving in good condition. The exhibit was composed of the following varieties: Winesap, Ben Davis, Opalescent, : and Yorktown ImperialEach variety was awarded a prize follows: i '25 WSnesap, 1st place in the County Exhibit, award, a silver medalThis was county competition only. The other varieties were entered in the State General Exhibit. • One plate Ten Davis,* 1st prize; one plate Opalescent, 1st prize; one plate Jonathan, 2nd prize; one plate lYorke Imperial, 4th prize " Now in the event of the success tit ' ! the first contest exhibit the students I will put forth a greater effort to jftiake Cape May county an appfe ' competitor.
