J. Chadwick brought the matter up for consideration, explaining the e importance of the route, and the s stream of automobile traffic passing e back and forth over it. e It transpired that very recently Mr. I Chadwick had made the journey over i the route. Signs were there in abundance, all along the way, bearing the . names of Atlantic City, Cupc May and Wild wood; but the name of Ocean City was very conspicuous by the absence of a sign. The League felt the condition should he allowed to continue no longer, but remedied before the tourist season proper began. It was discovered that the League had sufficient signs on hand to thoroughly cover the route, and finally a committee of three volunteered their services in placing the signs. The three boosters who jumped into the breach are, W. J. Chadwirk, Elmer H. Crane and Frank Piatt. , Thursday of this week will find the .lertjire route, undergoing a sign-plac-'Mng operation, and its attractiveness! very itiuch cncVfanccd, by the name of | Ocean City. | Almost every week new members are being received into the League, until the organization is surely becoming, at least numerically, the strongest of all civic organizations in the city. . Last Monday evening the following names were submitted anil elected: James H. Simpson, Leo J. Ochsenfield, Edward C. G. Hogan and W. F; Shriver. A report was made, which went to prove, that the Indoor Circus- to be staged at the music pavilion, May 27 and 29, will be n tremendous undertaking and success. The number of new features to be added will exceed and ex$t1l anything ever attempted before. W. J. Chadwick invited discussion upon the advisability of appointing a delegation from the league, to attend the meeting of the County Board of Freeholders, to be held Tuesday in Mr. Chadwick explained that tho " Freeholders hai at their disposal, the sum of $34,004 for road construction J and improvement. i This money, which came partly , from the Federal Government would. ; if not utilized for some specific road work before June 30th, revert back to : the sources from which it came. The Chamber of Cpmmerce had ap- ! pointed a delegation to attend the | meeting of the Board of Freeholders, j with a petition that the said sum of ■ money, be devoted to the work of raisj ing the pike from Asbury avenue over Thirty-fourth street to Marmora, two or three feet, after which the state might be induced to complete the work by adding to it a hard surfaee. The proposal met with instant approval, and all able to attend - the meeting at Cape May were urged to do so. An invitation was extended on behalf of the American Legion, to at-' tend the county rally to be held Thursday night at the (Sty music pavilion. A. J. F. CLUB The A. J. F. Club, of the high school, will hold another benefit dance in the Hann Building Saturday night, j The proceeds of all their- functions ■ luring the spring will be pooled to puy the expenses of the seniors' trip to Washington. Other nodal events! scheduled by the club is a moonlight sail to the old tavern at Beesley's Point, and a house party that is to be held shortly at South Seavflle. BOYS BRIGADE The 3rd New Jersey eRgiment, United Boys' Brigade of America,1 have been making inquiries through the Chamber of Commerce for a camping nte in Ocean City the coming season. The brigade numbers one hundred men, and the plana are for a ten days' or two weeks' stay.

NEW YORK, •e COMES IN JUNE «; -y- ' The officers and congregation of I "j the First Baptist Church, at the dose) j of the evening service Sunday, ex-, ' tended an unanimous call to Rev. Mil-! ' ' ton George Buck, of Whitesboro, N. ! Y.. to become their pastor. Sunday was Rev. Buck's first appearance in. Ocean City, and the two scr- ; mons delivered, the first heard at least ! by the majority of the congregation. That a deep impression had been ! r I made upon the congregation, however.) j was manifest at the close of the morn- 1 I ing service. The general sentiment ; expressed was to the effect, that at f ! length the church had found the man I i eminently fitted for the charge, in anI swer to prayer. j A special business meeting -had been 1 called to follow immediately the I preaching service, several matters of I importance needing consideration. | Clayton Haines Brick, chairman of ' the board of deacons, callfed upon the church clerk to read a letter prepared' for the- annual association, to be held I in Camden during the coming month, i Mrs. Clayton Haines Brick, and Mr.' p and Mrs. Roland Steelman, were elect- , e.l as delegates to represent the church ( at the convention. J" Whereupon the chairman led the , discussion, upon the advisability of, extending a call to Rev. Milton Gcg. ' Buck, to become their pastor. ] The members were called upon in- ® dividually to give an expression of! their opinions, and all with.no exccpK tion.s favored the project. Finally it was decided to extend the " call, at a salary of $2,500 n year, with 1 . parsonage-end fuel. Rev. Buck was called into the meet- ® ing and verbally given the call, which J' he accepted to begin his pastorate the ' first Sunday in June. The annual business meeting of the . church was held on Wednesday eve- '! ning in the social parlor. The ladies ] had pre parol a fine chicken supper, to : which all interested in the church were invited. The social parlor had been taste- '' fully decorated for the occasion, and a delightfully time spent. r Various matters affecting -the financial conditions of the church were dis- 1 j" cu#xe<L and plans far the coming year i formulated. The report for the fiscal ■ >year was highly satisfactory, showing e n decrease in tho liabilities, notwith- ' i standing that $750 had been spent in . ; J j improvement!Mr. Brick presided again, \>ul intro- ■ ■luccd ji little Ki wants into the gather- . ® ing, by calling upon all present to in- J ; '• .traduce themselves. " The following officers were elected j 1 to serve for the ensuing year: " Church clerk, Roland Steelman; Ti- 1 j nancial secretary, A. R. Fogg; treas- I * urer, Capt. A. R. Smith; musical di- I rector, Mrs. A. R. Fogg; trustees for > the term of three years, W. N. Bon?.. ' J. Osier, Jr., and Harvey C. Creamer; j | trustee for a term of one year, John • ® H.
