WlLUAM PORTER CAUflJO REST ! WAS REMOVED TO A HOSPITAL AT PHILADELPHIA, BUT RECENTLY BROUGHT TO HIS HOME HERE WHERE HE PASSED AWAY TUESDAY EVENINGWilliam Porter, aged 67 years, died after a lingering illness Tuesday, Nov. 1922- FuneraV services occurred Ion Friday afternoon at 2 P. M., interI ment in the Cold Spring cemetery"He needs no tears who lived a noble life." , „ , The City of Cape -May suffered a great loss in the death of William i He was an exceptional man, I and won years ago, the confidence of | the people of this city, because of public spirit, loyalty to city's intor- ' ests, and established integrity. He ■ was always frank and outspoken upon public matters and in his various a«l- | - ventures as a candidate for nublic of- - . fice which ustfaily ended in .his suc- : cessful election, his methods were unique in that he always frankly " stated his platform and made no fur- • ther effort at soliciting votes, leaving - it entirely to the judgment of the peoi pie to determine whether he should be - entrusted with whatever the office he sought- • . .. . i We liked best the public spirit ne - displayed so often in being willin" always to assist in any worthy cause s for the city's benefit without money & and without price- He never received •> the ' encouragement he should have had in his efforts to maintain the -. Cape May Band, yet he worked fazthy fully with it for many years and n achieved remarkabl - good results. f- Proper encouragement upon the part r I .r .ui:« ,*.n,,l,l kflva efimnlnted 'of the public stimulated _

the enterprise into a permanent organization of greater skill and real g value. With all the handicaps, howMr. Porter advanced the cause of music in this cit" not only in connection with the band, but also in ( connection with the churches and r many young oeonle who have become r keenlv interested in this great art, c owe their inspiration to him. . Mr. Porter was always faithful to ( every trust imposed in him. His ser- , 1 vices to the city as city clerk, record- ( • er. superintendent of the water works, j ' and in divers others capacities, have , : been of gfeat value because of this , spirit of faithfulness. He was never 1 content to leave a task in an unfin- , . ished state and he was - most method- . 1 ical man in all of his work. The dtv s 1 records durin" his incumbency, there- , fore, have been kept in model eondi- • tion and a system has been establish- • ed which will prove valuable guide to his successorsHe was a valued member of tne r County Mos-uito Commission and of the City Board of Health- He was a also President of the Board of Education and for man'- years a member :t of that board. -His influence in the upbuilding of the schools of 'this eitv '■ has been of incalculable vahfe. ..He was also ex -officio vice-president of the Cape May Public Library Associal" tion. He was an active member, also , of the Cape May Bov Scouts Council, if . — i t,i-n vmt, its secretary. In • and for two years In

' *11 of these varied activities and re1 sponsibilities. he was one of the dependable*, punctual and certain to be ; -resent at all meetings unless illness • or confiicting duties detained him. 1 Very few men have such a record. He was of a kindly, helpful disposi- " i tion, ever' rcadv with a pleasant greet- ^ ing or an agreeable word of cheer or sympathy. He was held in high esteem by all of his numerous associates and acquaintancesHe was an earnest Christian and !; his good works will live after- Few , men are missed as he will he missed because his usefulness extended Hi so s many directions and brought him into p contact with so many people. a The earnest sympathies of the community will be extended to his mourn-

ing_wife_and 'btuirhter. h HOLIDAY BILI» AT THE PALACE f On Thursda Thanksgiving Dav. I Claire Adams and Robert McKim will be starred in "Heart's, Haven. This I picture is bound to please.

Captain Cresset and crew of Coast ■ Guard Station No. 136 had an excit- , ing chase on Wednesday night when r they were guarding Cold Spring Imet r for rum runners. Captain Cresse said , that he saw a light approaching the ] - Inlet and on hailing the mysterious j craft, failed to get a reply from its . Skipper when ordered to haul to- Capf tain Cresse quickly manned the coast f I guard boat and put off in chase of - the supposed rum -runners, but the [1 fieeing craft was much faster than f the coast guards boat and was showf ing a fine pair of heels to Captain e Cresse who .fired a shot after the d flying white skiff which Capt- Cresse e described the craft. _ 1, The chase led up through the in - it land water ways to Parsons Harbor o Sounds where in the dense darkness the suDposed rum runner was lost. Coast Guard Captains along the coast :ii l 4^ dnaet Oiinrtprs at will aceal s

Washington for faster craft so that ] the guards will not be forced to lose out in a chase for the law breakers. : Captain Cresse notified all the coast guard stations along the coast to be j on watch for the rum runner.

FLOWERS BLOOM INJIAPE MAY WHY GO TO FLORIDA— FOLK IN i! BATHING LAST SUNDAY— WAS WARMEST DAY IN TWENTYFIVE YEARS. Why should folks travel al! the way to Florida in quest of a warm climate when last Sunday was the warmest November nineteenth in twenty-five years. At noon on Sunday dn the beach front the thermometer registered seventy -six degrees- Some of the ladies who teach m tee Cape May • High School here took a dip in the ocean, while folks strolled on the i boardwalk in summer attire. Down on South Lafayette street in the yard of Jacob Snare, roues blooming, while in a yard on Lafayette street, tomatoes are still Rrowin<r. Dandelions are also in bloom along the sidewalks. At SchelleMer's Landing at Mill's boat house, Utace are in blossom. It js reported thatseveral dozen crabs were caught with a hand line in the inland water ways north of this city. Gunners who have returned from the sounds, and Delaware Bay, report that despite the warm weather, dudes and geese have not been as plentiful in many years as this fall- But those who have gunned the uplands and woods say that it is so dry that it is almost impossible to have the dogs S run for game on account of the dry leaves and woodlands. There has not been a drenching rain in lower Cape I May County in many weeks and the I springs are said to be thelowestin ; years. Ldke I ilv at Cape May Point I and Ross's Mill Pond are almost bare. DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK-

THAT in many cities you will, find a clique known as the "anvil chorus. THAT this chorus is composed of the leading drones of the city. THAT these drones are always against public improvements in spite of the fact that it has been proven that fop every dollar spent in public improvements, two dollars are spent in investments in homes and newbusiness enterprises. THAT city builders are often hampered in their work by the "anvil chorus" loudlv singing "SHIRK. SHIRK, SHIRK." ✓ TH AT the more -Hie boosters work, ; the more they bo6st, tne more they 1 build, the louden the tune of the ani vil chorus." J _ , I THAT thp-^nvil chorus" needs the } undivided attention of the city-build- ' ers. Some way should be found to [ have them change their hammer song [ to "WORK, WORK, WORK."
