One of the greatest victories OF its
kind ever gained for Wildwood and
Five Mile Beach was the result of the
Five Mile delegation at the recent con-
vention of the State Firemen's Assoc
citation at Atlantic City inlcausing the
selection of Wildwood as the meeting
place for next year. This convention
will bring 800 delegates here next Sep
tember. The credit of bringing Wild
wood forward as a convention resort Is
due principally to Frank Sheppard who
led his fellow delegates to victory in
their efforts to bring the next conven-
ton here. His fellow delegates from
Holly Beach stood nobly by his side
and their efforts won the day. Mr..
Sheppard made a fight last year for the
convention and this year went fully
equipped with Board ofTrade literature,
which was distributed among the dele
gates as they passed into the conven-
ton hall. Mr.. Sheppard addressed the
convention and the result was that he
won his point.
