A letter was moived and read, paying high tribute to the recent Booster Banquet held in Philadelphia. Whereupon the ijame of Herbert Wilks was mentioned ami the vast amount of work he did towards making the banquet the success it proved to be. The major portion of the clerical work fell to Mr. Wilks and only those immediately in touch with the committees are able to realize what a colossal undertaking it. was. At the suggestion of J. Howard -Slocum, the members of the Ki- 1 wants Club, expressed their ap- ' preciation of Mr. Wilks* services 8/ in a vote of. thanks.

CITIZENS ASKED TO GUARD AGAINST FIRE

I While the recent rains have!

brought temporary relief from the many dangerous forest fire- which1 raged in all parts of New' Jersey during April, forestry officials point out the fact that a few day - ! of clear weather with brisk winds I will brings about a recurrence of , 1 extremely dangerous conditions. 1 For this reason the Forest Fire ; i of the Department of Con-i servation and Development is , . 1 using every available means to | , prevent a repetition of the recent , 1 disastrous fires and is issuing a | special appeal through the press I cooperation on the part of j c j every citizen and strongly emphas- < jizeg tire need of extreme precau t Ition on the part of every person if j who goes into tlic woods w hether j | for pleasure or profit. j: j Officials of the Forest Fire Ser- j b vice explain that conditions, thou j j bad, are not unusual at this sea-,i; j son and the resulting damage has s

" been no greater than was predict- : '"led during the last winter, and, in ! r fact, for the past several years when the need for additional funds I n : for the Forest Fire service has j ''I been urged upon the Legislature. | L* i Thi.s need was recognize.! and par-, e , tially met at the last sesrion by a '' substantial increase in the approK priation for the next fiscal year. However the additional funds do' not become available until after July I and therefore the Forest, j Fire Service has been compelled " to face the present crisis with the same handicap which has preventdie<l ita adequate .operation in past! C| Speaking of his organization Forester Wilber said. -The fact j that forest fires have been numcili ous and severe in all parts of New 0 Jersey is no fault of the Forest ' Fire Service nor does it indicate j 1 that we have been asleep at the ' 1 switch. Had it not been for the! . efficiency und devotion of the men , of the service the area destroyed , would surely have been much I greater. But without adequate ' , funds to provide a powerful force ji . of properly equipped and organiz- : . cd fire fighters capable of handling - - these fires the fight is almost hope- ' Our force has done ita best aaginst heavy odds. No forest -' fire service, no matter What it*;1 size, can hope to absolutely pre- j 1 vent fires from starting. How-' ; ever, our aim has been and will ( continue to be to build up our. to a point where w-e can get control of these fires while they i small and before they have a chance to spread and become disss- - 1

; ed funds ni our disposal for next y ear while not sufficient to aecom- ' plish all that we are striving for. in station as has occurred in the | past few week :, lul fact, fully j p ! at a very reasonable er st per acre. Ii! In appealing to thr general pul- , I jic fo ^cooperation along variou- , lines the following facts hate been n| specially emphasized: s Fire prevention is a personal f problem. The "general public" is.-' • vitally interested and can 'lo muc" I J toward its solution. But personal ' *: interest, and individual intelligence 1 it of the situation, together with in* 1 1 dividual initiative in heiping. are < 'necessary if fires are to be stopped « i i person is urged: ( ' i, I. To lake a personal, persist- < and active interest in putting - out ca«h forest fire seen, no mat- A iter how small. All big fires come t .from small beginnings. ' ! j 2. To see that a fire warden, the property, owner or some response ' person is notified and "on "the ? i job" before a fire is left, when it 1 j is not possible - to control it per- , ' i sonaily. I'rompt attention keeps '

:- j fi res Small. n 3. To make it a personal duty ' sj and privilege to see that no case s j of reckless, careless or iguorant ; ' s j use of fire in or near the woods is . !. j overlooked. Interested public opin- ■ '-,icn is the only effective law- en-:i r i 4. To openl yand always seek to i ; interest and educate acquaintances I a' and friends in the need for.

I by endorsement of policies and .- r; plans. Sympathetic public co-;t t operation is both a safeguard and j . tla stimulus to honest "and effective I s 1 public service. : i o :l The Woman Is Right Ij Wife: "George, where have youj s| George: "Gunning, m' dear, gun" ! | ning." i ■| Wife: "Gunning for what?'' • i George: "Shooting crap — yep-4-' . , shooting crap. | Wife: George, you must stop ; shooting craps.

More than a Million Dollars' worth of New Central Office Equipment will be added to the Bell System in southern New Jersey this year "This money will be spent for new switchboards, additions to presenfswitehboands, terminal room equipment and a thousand i and one other things which go to make up a modern telephone office. The investment for new equipment will cover every central office in southern New Jersey. As fast as equipmentjsj*eceived from the factories it is placed into service.

COMMUNICATED Ocean City, May 1, 1923., Sentinel: Permit me to compliment you on your editorial of a recent issue ' i on the wretched stretch -of ugli- j ' ; ness into Ocean City. You are j I quite right when you state that it ! i« your - opinion those three liter-1 ary gentlemen would not have in-'; vested more than the price of a i return ticket out of Ocean City if! I either of them hail entered the town by automobile from Somers , I personally know of more _ itiian one instance where prospec-j i tive buyers of real estate here | j have been scared away from Ocean J

■ | City because the town at first I ' glance did not appeal to them. I J The chief complaint was the im- ■ ' sightly architecture of most of the F I houses here. II speak specifically " I 'of the two-famflv tenements which ~ ertain persons "kid" themselves into believing are "apartments." !~ There are few towns in the state r : where these eye sores are pcrmitted, but they are as popular in ; the Pennsylvania cool regions as ' they arc i.ere in Ocean City. * ' Unless the building officials or P ' • therg in authority call a halt on ! these blights, property values will I eventually suffer. For instance, suppose a stranger com&Pto this i town, buys two or three lots and ...erects thereon a nice cottage, beauitiffa^ the grounds and makes his ! home an attractive place in every ; way. Alongside of Mm somebody ; with the heart of a bootlegger with no thought for anything exjcepting "Income," sticks up one of — these poisonous tenements. The j owner of the nice home becomes | disgusted, sells out at a sacrifice and broadcasts to the world to ] stay' away from Ocean City a* it has gone tenement house mad. j How can this be helped ? I dont ' know. I am going to put that up • to the members of the numerous i civic organizations in town here- | How about a board of architects to act in conjunction with the building inspector in passing on all plans? If necessary employ an oot of town architect and give him a good stiff salary. He would be ' disinterested with no axe to grind | if opposition were made to the se- ! lection of local men to such an of- | fice. j I have money invented here — a" . w hole lot of it, Tbiil I don't want , to see Ocean City ruined as lung Branch, Arvena, the Rockuways jam! other resorts were. The tw-o- [ story tenement breeds tht people ! who destroy seashore towns. Let's have a Bigger, Better, BUT ! Beautiful Ocean City! What do ! you other readers think about it. j Wet's get their ideas. INVESTOR. Joke's On You, Ma I "Well, Ma,'' said Hiram, "I got j two good harvest hands hired alj ready. I "Well, well," said Ma, much surj prised. "What's their names?" j ".Right and left," answered Hiram laughing.
