od a U egrec of advertisement nnd _ publlicty which no money could , The name of Ocean City this! week will be read in thousands of homes all over the states to whom i it was previously utterly unknown. Moreover the 'people to whom the ' information will reach are precise- ! ; ly the clas.s of people who have j a made Ocean City the city it is. | r

"The Baptist," a weekly journal j published under the auspices of the Northern Baptist Contention, as; its olTicial organ is read it is esti-| mated by several millions of people i scattered over every state in thej In the present week's issue, pub-: lished in anticipation of the great Convention to be held in Atlantic City the coming month, contains , the following paragraphs concern- . inir this resort: this

"Seven miles south of Atlantic City is an island eight miles long arfd one mile wide upon which is located Ocean City — the greatest family resort in America. "Baptists comp from all over the I states; they either visit or own - their own homes. Last summer : Her. M. G. Bock, who has lately ; gone 10 Ocean City, had twentyseven states and seven different t countries represented in the gath- i cring. "Plans are now under way for c the building of a new church which

will cost $50, 000 to $60,000. "More than half this amount has beon subscribed. It is expected to have it completed in 1921, which will give the society an up to date plant, which will be, including parsonage, worth 1100,000." Then on another page, describing various points of interest surrounding Atlntic City and the interesting trips awaiting visitors, the following fl-iftnrintr nbMmtnV. following flattering

are added: "A trip which allows the visitors a view of the inner section of the country and crosses Egg Harbor Bay is to Ocean City. It is a beautiful ride on a summer day or evening.

dosed in Ocean City. It was originally a great Methodist campmeeting ground, and it has, despite all attempts otherwise, held to that solid goodness that really makes for character. 'The Lord's Day is a day of rest and only business that is absolutely necessary for the feeding of the body is allowed permission to open. "Ocean City is also undergoing a change as the summer residents are more und more becoming nll-the-ycar home dwellers. This last year the collection of toll was done away with, as the state had taken "oyer the' bridge, a Tact which should make for greater growth." This tribute and publicity to this resort in the official organ of a denomination numbering nearly twenty-three millions of people is more than gratifying and is indicative of the much wider publicity which will follow the meeting here

( flall sea share resorts— the pollution j i of the beaches by oil and oil waste jt !from oil-fuel vessels. |l Through its conmiitloe appoint- ' - - ed to co-operate with the C.

is the Member ie | Association of Surf Angling Clubs , n! Two years ago your Association ■ >f -honored me with the chairmanship I t j of the Committee on Cooperation v s j with the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. ■ - - and in that capacity I lake the lib- j - e 'erty of addressing you on a sub- 1 i b | ject that we all recognise as of su- v preem importance to surf fishing, o . | namely: the pollution of the beach » by oil and oil wastes. p ? j We know it exists. From Mon- s ' tuk to Cape May, the togs of the c

surf fishermen bear silent witness. e As the oil-burning ship increases B in numbers the wreck of surf fishing creeps closer upon us. It is an r eiiual threat to the sea food supplv '• of the nation, the important trust e of the Bureau of Fisheries. With our pledge to the Bureau ' in mind, I feel that there is no act- ' ion which we, as surf fishing clubs ' can take than to throw every ounce : of our weight toward the abate- " ment of the evil mentioned; and, '

1 it in my opinion that in so doing i 1 we shall lie taking a step which | 1 will bring thanks and appreciation I from the Bureau to which our co- ' operation is pledged, ' The way presents isclf. I The National Coast Anti-Pollu-tion League has been in the field some two years a strong and militant organization on whose" we find htc words: "Pure, -

This organteatloii is in theNum-is j teresteil in accomplishing a great . purpose, anil arc not to be il^Jyn- . ; by tenlporary setback.-. Thin i achievements during 1922 were the - introduction and passage through - the Senate of the Frelinghuy -■ i bill covering the discharge of oil] ' I or" oil wastes fro mships or shore' i ; navigable waters, and the in- [ t roducfion of a similar hill in the ] House.

Presidei.t for approval. The British have I -eaten us to it! ; this subject, for legislation al- ' most identical to the Frelinghuysen went into effect across the L water on January 1, 1923. Morelover the shipping interests of Louj ilou have broached the question <•:' ' j international action, a matter on which Congress has already authorized the President to act. The League asks us to make c.\- ] pression of our support in the shape of a resolution fro meacli .. club endorsing the object to the .

i. League and pledging ourselves to s act against pollution only through - its agency. I pass the desire along i to you with the firm belief that it f is the most promising step toward t ! l«ottcr surf fishing that is yet come to my attention, and if we Tail to l'takc it wC arc not doing our duty - to the rod which we are so proud i bear. • Individually we can aid in stren- . gthening the League's sinews of j , war by taking membership at $1.00 j -per year.

Fifty Thousand Miles of New Wire will be added to the Bell System in southern New Jersey this year Thats a tremendous increase in the total Bell wire mileage. This new ivirc alone would make a two wire telephone circuit around the world at the Equator. It would reach from ' Camden to Atlantic City more than 800 times. More wire was placed last year than in any previous year, and this year will far outstrip 1922. This is one phase of our effort to meet the demand for telephone service in southern New Jersey.
