S- Senator Josenh Frclinghuysen is a representative at1 Washington of | the State of New Jersey of whom I every citizen should be proufl^and he should be and undoubtedly will be. undoubtedly will be. s

both nominated and elected -at the o coming primary and election. He has ^ proven to be a consistent, faithful and j wise representative of his constituents ^ and a statesman of national reputa- ^ tion. The daily press has been giving g the news of his activities during his g entire term, and the people at large Q have become very familiar with his activities through this mediumship- g He has been looked upon for some j, years as of excellent presidential tim- r ber. i It may, however, interest our read- l ers to know that we are locallv in- c debted to him for valuable aid in mat- c ters of vital interest to this county. It j was largely through the assistance ( , given by him in the State legislature i when he was a State Senator from , , Somerset county, that the Inland j Water project was endorsed bv the . ! State and resulted in the dredgiur of J . a channel through the sounds from ( ; Cape May to Bay Head .which is still ( t maintained. This made a safe route , , for motor boats to many of our coast , resorts and proved valuable not only . for the use of pleasure boats but a: 5 for the transportation of fruit, vegeI tables, fish, oysters, etc. With the t construction of a canal from Bay j .Head to Long Branch, there is a'-oila-ible an inland water way to New York. I which makes possible for motor boats | f some wonderful and extensive jour- 1 neys by inland routes through waterh ways from New York. This project , was first proposed by our former Sen- 1 II ator the late Robert E. Hand, who in i s turn secured the interest of Senator i II Freiinghuysen. The latter came to j j. Cane May, examined into the merits, ,. of the project and became an enthusiastic supporter. -! During his term in United -e States Senate, he has given careful lc, attention to the needs of Cape May 3- , Harbor and aided in securing for it needed a""ropriations. He is a strong r, I advocate for its more extenisve use •d'by the navy and as an aviation base3- 1 He is an admirer of Cape May r-1 County and passes a portion of his id time here each year in one* or other of ie our resorts. He and his family have been guests, during this summer for k.ia tiortion of the time at Congress •e, Ke'.l pr'' Subscribe for the Star and Wave.

SINGER FEATURES ! SUNDAY PROGRAM MIS8 CATHRYN JONES, COLORA- G TURA SOPRANO, RENDERED SEVERAL EXCELLENT NUMBERS. Last Sunday evening a large audi- ^ ence gathered on the city pier, de- P spite the inclement weather, to hear 11 and participate in the Musical pro- * gram rendered. There was commun- ^ singing conducted by Mr. LA.® Rodes, several soprano solos by Miss *- Cathryn Jones of Philadelphia, a vio- a sOlo by Mr. H. Hagen, and a num- * OS excellent concert numbers ren- n dered by the Municipal Orchestra- The singing of Miss Jones was especia'lv ' fine. " Her voice was a rich clear one. F and ao flexible that her coloratura e singing was done with muah ease- Her £ high tones were unusually mellow and Jj erescendas were beautifully exe- ' cuted. She was very ably assisted by J A- Sarian, Flutist and Mr. Chas. ' pianitt. 1 T7» response of the audience in c singi^ig was the best of the season. 1 sabmed every one present entered * heartily into the spirit of the songs J and forgot the dashing rain outside. I All ifent away happy for the part f they took 'in making it a delightful c evenihg of music. The Orchestra and 1 Hagen rendered their parts on the program in their usual high class manner and brought forth rounds of applauseSNOWBALL DANCE GREAT SUCCESS

LARGEST CROWD OF SEASON JAM HALL TO CAPACITY AT j OCCASION OF CLEVER NOV- , ELTY DANCE- ' On Thursday evening August 24th, the Convention Hall was the scene of i probably the most popular novelty ■ party of the season. It was a snow | ball dance, something that Cape May never had before. Professor Blenk, the untiring leader of the City Orchestra Was responsible for the most delightful surprise and did most ; of the work himself necessary to make 1 the hall so attractive and give it a winter appearance. 1rie*hall was very cleverly decorated with evYr^Rens, and festooned 1 with varied vBlored paper loosely ■ so as to give the appearance of j ' icicles suspended from boughs among j • the dancers. Suspended from the ceil- ! • ing were large cloth runners which j : contained the snow and at a given! ' signal the lights of the hall were dim1 med and the snow began 'to Tall. At j the same time a grouo of Cape May's | ; adults recalled their school days, rush- , 1 ed or. the stage and started to pelt " the dancers with old fashioned snowballs. Their aim was none too true but the scenic effect was' good. In fact the whole performance made one think of the chills of winter and draw; n up his coat to keep out the cold f blasts. Was it crowded? Well, at 7:30 p. m-, hist one hour before the beginning e of the dance there was not a single seat unoccupied in the hall and at 8 unoccupied in the hall anu at o e

o'clock there w-as scarcely standing b room- The crowd was larger than any t week day evening this season. All the e dancers were loud in their praise of t Blenk who arranged the gala t dance and begged for another similar f affair. Such novelties wijuld ca'l for an admission fee of several dollars in other places but not in Cape May. The children were not forgotten either. A most hilarious party was c for them on the following after- i noon- Nature was good to them, too, i for just as it snowed for the arrown i promptly at ten o'clock on Thurs- 1 day evening, it slowly began to descend on Fridav afternoon at 4:30 ;>. m. A more delightful time the kiddies have not had this summer on the pier. To top it off each youngster ] presented with suitable souvenir- , Mr. Blenk and his faithful assistants : ! are to be congratulated on making the day such a memorable one and for , their wonderful control of the ele- : ments of nature in causing the > 1 storm according to schedule.

ABLE MEN FOR SMALL BOARD REQUIREMENTS WILL BE MET BY MEN LIKE HON. ROBERT KAY, HON. JOSEPH CHAMPION. AND CAFT. CHAS. VANAMAN. Some of the best men in the county are needed in this crisis for service . on the small board of freeholders- The pay, we understand, is one thousand dollars per year for each of -the three f , SH members, and, out of this will be paid ■ all traveling and other expenses. Conscientious men who conduct the business of the board hqaestly, will probably spend most of this money in necessary traveling expenses. It is essential, therefore, that the members ahall have means of support independent of this salary. The county's business has grown to such proportions and has become so complicated, that the best business talent we have is necessary, if it is to be managed properly and economi- ■ cally. Fortunately there are before the ■ people for election to this board,', three i men If* exceptional reputation, char- ■ aeter 9d business ability. Their offer 1 to serve the county in this capacity is : as patriotic as the service given by manv men and women in various business capacities to the national government during the war, at one dollar per year. The men to whom we refer are: Hon. Robert Kay, present . member of the House of Assembly, ' one of Wildwood's most prominent . and highly esteemed citizens, highly successful in his own extensive real estate and insurance business and a S busines man of broad views, consum9 mate ability and unquestioned integ r. yViamTunr. ftf Oc-AHTl Hon. Joseph Champion, Ocean

City mayor of that thriving city for number of years, extensively, engaged in the lumber business and in contracting and building and one of the most active men in winning for Ocean City its great growth and prosperity. Hisybusiness ability and integrity can- , not be doubted. , .... Captain Charles Vanaman, of Middle Township, for many years a sea , captain, later one of our most successful farmers, surrogate for one . term some years ago and during the i war and until quite recently, employl ed in a very responsible position with the Bethlehem Steel Company, who regard him as a most valuable man. In all his career, no man has questioned his stability or his integrity. The people of this county, reallzuy v the critical condition of our county af- - fairs, the enormous debt which has ac3 cumulated and the necessity for carei ful management, should support these i- men with vigor. They can be guaranI, teed to treat all parts of the county - with justice and not to consolidate apr propriations and expenditures upon I. any one locality, el • • • r. TO THE PEOPLE OF CAPE " MAY COUNTY: I have consented to be a candidate for the Republican nomination for tho ! House of Assembly solely and entire°|lv for the purpose of serving my ?• county to the best of my ability if nominated and elected. The office is p : one which is not attractive to men If whose time is required luj their busi- ; whose time is requireu u*

' nesS, because the salar^Said is more [than absorbed in nece^ary expenses lias is well-known. ' I 1 am offering my services because ; I have the leisure time to attend to the ' duties involved without detriment to personal responsibilitiesI have no desire whatever to enter for political preferment as sqch and r a«k our voters, both men and women, I to regard my candidacy as merely an ■ offer of mv time and services for my , county- If my opponent is preferred, I shall give him my support in the election most cheerfully. I do not desire the nomination unless it come? clean as the deliberate I choice of the Republican voters of this U county . AARON W. HAND.
