NEPTUNE STILL CHILLY Despite the crowds who visited the beach on Memorial pay, Capt. Ji'ck Jernec, of the Beach Patrol, had no occasion to display his life ""ing skill. Old Neptune gave the' few maids "ho attempted totry his temperature, a somewhat chilly reception, an-' they soon beat the retreat. ' "nxcipiently the majority of those who had donned bathing at'"e contented themselves with ►trolling on the sands and inviting, ►un-brown, playing base- ball and other familiar gamei. \ /

Ihjof the local Post, while the relic j mainder will" be added to the fund •I, ' todards securing a permanent le j home for the Legion in this citj, k. j To this last objective the taif j gionaires are bonding all their en ie j ergies, eager to secure a place a- where they can hold their meets- ! ings, and store the trophies of tne if World War, which if not properly ; collected and housed, must of nci- ' cessity become lost, e.j All three objectives are dcscrv'e i ing of the most loyal support. The it j Home for disabled soldiers in par- ' 'c-ilar, has an appeal peculiarly i- ;t. own. There are hundreds of o : men in this state waiting for some -u- li place, where they may receive i- tlic rare and treatment necessary I- to bring them back to a measure of normal health and social inden pcndence. ■■ Thousands of the men who fought in the last war are langui- ishing in prisons, and branded 03 criminals. Fifty percent of them c have been rendered mentally irresponsible, by "the scenes of hord ror through which they passed, through shell-shock and through gas. Otcrs have been driven to petty - crime in order to obtain bread, un- - 1 able to work in their nerve shattered and enfeebled condition. '• The Ameriacn I-eginn has tidfen the cause of their disabled "Budy dies" to heart, and is all over the - country building homes for them, c with the assistance of the public. The tagionaires of Cape May, - Cumberland and Atlantic Counties e ■ have joined forces to make provise ion for their disabled comrades. It is to be hoped therefore that s the ritixens of Ocean City will loyn ally support the entertainment to d I* held the coming Friday evening c The local Post has ventured upon - the heavy expense of engaging the Emmett Welsh Minstrels, confident e that its appeal will not fail to win 0 a generous response. 1 Tickets may he secured from any e member of the tagion, reserved - scats for "5 cents. Thus for a very normnl charge all who attend will - enjoy a high class entertainment, li land at the same time he helping s | a. most worthy cause.

Edge predicted a great j future for Ocean City, it was due to the foresight and enterprise of its people that the sister resort t rliail won the title of "Playground < of the World." | There was a time when the city's j. record number of wijter guests t numbered three persons.

COMMUNICATED May 27. 1923. ' Mr. Ocean (Sty: "Movies open every evening this ' week." "Cars running only Saturday • night" Now, Mr. Ocean City, how do ever expect "the halt and "the i lame," the "gouty'1 man and the i woman, the "old man" i and the "fat lady" ever .to R\t to the evening movies without our i dear "Toonerville Trolley ?" You are doing every thing you i can to get people down here, now i hospitable to them since 'they . arrived. The trolley should run winter , and summer frequently, day and , night. If there is no other w-jiy, the rity run them, even if there is no profit. Create the "trolley habit." Y'ou cannot get the candy habit unless you can get candy. Neither can ■ get the trolley habit unless i you can get the trolley. Even if it doesn't pay now, it , will some day. i That is the principle on which ' the Hotel Flanders is being built. I (Why not lay the foundations for business on the trolleys by bei content now to run them withi out profit ) So please, Mr. Ooeaa City, surI prise the "trolleyttes" this week ! by running cars night as well as day. By so doing you will gain : the everlasting praise of all their patrons from 09th street to the bay. BOOSTER. * '

/ compliments of L. Mintzer. s Rev. Floyd W. Thnmpkins, pas- !- tor of Holy Trinity Episcopal d Church, Philadelphia, was the chief e speaker of the evening. , . Dr. Thompkins proved an enterg taining an- 1 impressive speaker, y Prefacing his remarks with Irie butes of high praise to Ocean City -- as a "place where the Christian e Sunday was properly observed," d Dr. Thompkins claimed that "the e principles upon which the Amerie can nation was founded arc capable of infinite expansion." In all „ her war experiences America had _ I, always been ranked on the side of „ right against might, and in dev fence of democracy against auto- „ cracy. The war of the Revolution . was a blow against autocracy; the Civil War was fought to free the _ slave; the -Spanish-American war ,1 was fought in defence of a weaker B nation. - America entered into the , arena of the World War to further . expand the principles of its foung dation — liberty and justice. "The world is confronted today," w b Dr. Thompkins added, "by great a and perplexing problems. In due - season, however, a solution will be a found and the solution may not r come from Presidents, Secretaries ,- of State, or diplomats, but from and through the masses of the peog pie. The solution may come from . some person who at the present j- hour remains unknown and obi Obscurity should not be allowed 1 to become a handicap, said the - speaker. All men are to a more - or less degree handicapped in life; . but the true hero and victor is he c who rises above the limitations of his life and manfully strives to . perform his task. The men who have made history - are those who have used their han- - e dicaps to the advantage of teir - age ahd generation. li The songs of the hour, led by Past Presiiient CoIUsson had the '. right patriotic ring. Having sung ' - to the Flag, the company were al- - lowed to indulge in a public demB onstration of their fondness for f "Eliza Jane," and for "Soup," to b their heart's content.
