FOR AULD LANG SYNE; IWENTY YEARS AGO ; I IRK COMPANY NO. I ATTEND . IN BODY. SERVICE AT j PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty Years Ago, the memibcrx ' liers of the Ocean City Fire Coni-(i-i 1) No. 1, uniformed, attejnleil -J in -i the evening service at ' the Presbyterian Church. 1 .-The pastor. Rev. A. W. Wil- t liains, delivered a very instructive 1 ami interesting discourse befitting t the occasion. c An augmented < hoir presented a " -plendid program of music, de- * ighling the congregation which filled the auditorium to its utmost d capacity. Rev. Williams, taking jas the basis of his discourse, the i' story of the Fiery Furnace, of Ne- e huchadnezzar, presented a glowing picture of courage, heroism, 1 and fidelity to duty, the three vir-'w tues which are most conspicuously o icvealeil in the work of a fireman, n It would seem that Twenty e Years Ago, the problems which confronted the city were very sim- A ilar to those of the present day. p A speciu! meeting, of the Board s, of Trade was held, with It. W. Ed- K wards presiding. The chief subject of deliberation ci was, how to best advertise Ocean City, and Incidentally how to raise sufficient money for that purpose. Evidently un old problem, ami a perpetual problem. It was decided that a circular letter should be sent to all prop- d crty owners, both resident and '< summer visitors, soliciting sub- * scriptions, with the pledge that * "The Boanl of Trade, as a body, composed of many of our repre- ti senUtive citizens, will stand res- t ponsible for the faithful and ju- » dicious expenditure of the advertising fund." Approximately <330 was sub- d scribed by the members of the I Boanl, present at the meeting. h It was further understood that « the subscriptions would be solicit- b ed upon the understanding that the P City Council would unite with the Board of Tra.le in making an ap- « propriation, presumably equivalent r fur advertising purposes out of the revenues of the city. S Twenty Years Ago, Ocean City a Basket-ball team met with a \ crushing defeat at the hands of „ five performers hailing from Ham- j monton. t The Kame was played in connec- r tion with the South Jersey League, r and was the first since the Ocean City Athletic Association had se- ^ cured the management of affairs. s From beginning to end, the % home team was hopelessly out- „ classed by the invaders, the Jocal • artists confessing that their rivals f were "marvels." t Schurch played a splendid game ( for his team, as did O. Morey. t The line-up and summary is , Report of the Condition of 1 "Ocean City Title & Trust Co. 'f o> Ocean City, N. J. at the ( close of business, Dec. 29, 1923.

G0SSAB00N TAKES! I TAKES THE TURKEY IN LEGION SHOOT -URGE THAT A. SHOOT BE HELD WEEKLY ( BY LOCAL POST , To all intents and purposes, the f trapshoot held Saturday afternoon ' under the auspices of the Morgan- 1 Post of the American I .eg- 1 ion, was an unqualified success. J Quite a record number of gunsmen participated, several of whom from Atlantic City. The latter in particular were | enthusiastic about holding a : trapshoot weekly, or at the most ] every second Saturday, a . proposition which the members of t the Morgan-Ranck Post are said to < be likely to consider favorably. A weekly or bi-weekly event of , .- character would unquestion- j 1 .ably prove an interesting form of't and recreation during j the winter. f Quite a large number of specta- _> tors lined the Boardwalk, watch- i ing the various events. ; t The major context of the shoot : ' a Twenty-five Bird Event with ' turkeys as prizes. The following contains a full ; ' roster of the contestants and their < respective records out of a possible ! twenty-five: 1 . Cossaboon 23 Young of A. C 22 ! Montgomery 20 riV.

The abovo competitors in this; event were classified upon a basis of 50%, 75% and 100%. In Class A. L. Cossaboon captured the turkey. In Class B, 4 1 tied. In the shoot -off miss and outj : L. Ray was the winner. Class . 1 C, found six tied. In the shoot-off miss ami out, Capt. A. R. Smith carried off the honors. Event 2, was for ten birds, with 1 ducks as prizes. Twenty com1 pe titers entered. The final result found W. L. Ray winner of the ' first prize with 9 out of 10 to his credit. Roy Bourgeois carried off sec- . ond honors and a duck. In addition two five bin! events < were staged, in both of which L. i Cossaboon carried off the prizes. , The trapshoot was conducted by . members of the Morgan-Ranck ; Post, with Walter E. Allen acting , as official scorer. ■ Wallace and Sons, hardware . merchants, supplied both shells, and the blue-rocks, at cost price, a fact which undoubtedly eontrib-; uteil much to the success -of the shoot.

INJURED (HEIGHT - BRAKESMAN BETTER' « found necessary To am- v putatf: four fingers of right hand According to latest information, r the man. C. K. MuJIettco. who met J with serious injury, while outraged , at his employment .an freight ^ , brakeman, ilast Saturday week, on , the Y' section of the Pennsylvania f and Reading Railroad, and who . removed to the Atlantic City Hospital, is progressing as well us may lie expected under the cir1 cumstunces. As preivoualy reporte.1, Mr Mu': ~ ' is a young man, 25 years of t - whose home is in Wisconsin. r the time he has been em- I ; ployed in this section of the eoun- 11 - he has made his residence in 1 ' Isle City. The accident occurred near > ' about 4.15 o'clock in the morning, t :It is not known exactly how the e ''unfortunate man met with his in- : It is presumed however, as J apparently the only reasonable s solution of the case, that Mullettee t must have attempted to climb on s the front of the engine, while in 1 :] motion, and missing his hold, he i ! ; fell underneath. The left leg was cut off at the j c I ! and the right hand so badly • ' crushed that it was found neccs- - , sary at the hospital to amputate four fingers. ; The unfortunate man was im- ! , i mediately removed for attention to! I ; the Atlantic City Hospital. £ JIMMIE HOWE KNOWS ; HOW TOJNTERTAIN i kid kenneth pulls off a ; rare stunt in the post office game ; Leave it to Jimmie!

Secretary of the Chamber of Com- le merce. . re The party was held at the Howe home, 3423 .Asbury Avenue, and di assumed tlie form of a card and m dance party. One young lady among the as guests.

While this pi pellicular game was in progress, :• Kenneth Howe was nowhere vis- •!« ible. None however appeared to have noticed his absence, conse- th quenlty no apprehension. At the close of the game, up sprang Kenneth into visibility. It T transpired the youngster had con- a, cealed himself somewhere in the m post office booth, ami the tales he > h< had to tell brought forth blushes h< to fair cheeks.

The guests departed declaring p l they h:ol enjoyed a splendid even- , I «ng. n | MAIL RECEPTACLES I Further instructions have been issued, apropos the new ruling oft the Department at Washington, k making it imperative for every householder to provide some suitable receptacle for the delivery of mail. Postmaster Smith states that ; 5 1 the department urges its repre- T .1 ,;,.ntatives in every town and ham- ] j

in the country, to keep this i regulation before the public. A period of grace was given. ■ during which time, householders might comply with the ruling. No arbitrary power is exercised | to the nature of the receptacle providing it is sufficient to protect mail delivered. f — The ordinary mail-box in common useage will serve well, al- ' thouyjh there is no receptacle so ' safe and convenient as a slot cut metal plate. The new onler lias been a.lopted primarily to protect and safeguard i for the public its mail, ami incito facilitate its delivery. The public therefore will profit 1 most from the new regulation. The numerous friends of John whi with his hackney carriage, is one of the best" known landmarks of the city, will regret to that he is seriously ill at the of his son. John E. Trout.
