To the Editor of the JOURNAL:
Sir-''To be honest, as this world
goes" says Shakespeare, sis to he one
man picked out OF ten thousand. "
The one man, TO whom the great poet
refers, lives in Wild wood, N. j. His
name is Thomas Hunter, employed at
Butchers Casino, on the boardwalk.
On Saturday afternoon last a lady
dropped her handbag, containing
among other things 1928, on one Of the
streets of Wildwood. Mr.. Hunter
picked the bag up Dor after the lady
had dropped it. An addressed envel-
ope, inside the handbag, gave Mr..
Hunter the clue to the lady's address.
After having taken an inventory Of the
contents of the bag, Mr.. Hunter has
tened to the owners address, where he
returned the bag and its contents, in
tact, to the owner 1t would have been
easy enough for Mr.. Hunter to have
kept the bag and its contents-no n
would have been any the wiser-had
he been so inclined. This truly honest
and exceptionally straight man refused
to accept any reward except the triiing
sum of a dollar, with which, as he said,
he would treat twoo or three friends with
q few cigars.
We draw attention to this case be-
cause, in this age O. "graft, F." dishonesty
and general crookedness, it is an extra
ordinary and unique one 1t is related
of Diogenes that he went around the
world with his lantern in quest of an
honest man. but failed to find one.
Now, If IAN honest man is the noblest
work of God" then Thomas Hunter,
of Wildwood, New Jersey, is not only
a practical and living exemplIfication
of that truth, but he is also a man who
deserves the respect, esteem and conf
dence of his fellow men.
We lift our hat to Thomas Hunter,
of Wildwood, New Jersey.

A Plea Tor the Support OF the
Music at wildwood

Dear Sir-I write to draw
to the fact that there are now two ex-
ceptionally fine bands on the island,
the personnel of each of them being OF
a high order as to musical ability, and
we will In consequence be favored with
better music here this season than we
have ever had before, or even dreamt
of q few years back. This condition
has been brought about by the enter
prise and liberality of Messrs. Buck
born & Reynolds, Of the Ocean Pier,
and ofthe Wildwood Crest Pier Amuse-
ment Co. There are in these two bands
forty-one notably fine musicians, whose
salaries will amount to nearly ten
thousand dollars for the season of
eleven weeks. Last year the men OF
Troilo's band enlisted the good will OF
everyone, resident or visitor, by their
gentlemanly and courteous conduct, as
well as by their unselfishness and their
willingness to play wherever, and when
ever, they were most needed by the
Board of Trade. | feel sure that their
department and Willingness to please
will be as much in evidence this sea-
son as 1t was lest year. 1t behooves
the residents of the island, the hotel
proprietors, and the visitors likewise,
to extend generous patronage to Mes
srs. Buckborn & Reynolds and the
wildwood Crest Pier Co., as their en-
terprise warrants the hearty support OF
every true friend of Five Mile Beach.
We should never go backward in our
development of the interests OF b Is
land, and by supporting these men
loyalty during this season it will be an
encouragement for even better things
in the seasons that are to come. There
fore, / ask you to support the concerts
and amusements in each of these piers
to the best of your ability and also to
encourage your friends and visitors tc
do likewise.

tertaining the most important trade
gathering III its history. From every
section of the United States and Cana
da delegates, members of their families
and friends will come to the shore.
The local Boards Of Trade entertain
ment committees and individual inter-
ests have arranged an elaborate pro-
gramme for making the stay of the
visitors at the shore a decidedly merry
one. The converting of the Confec-
TONERS will be of far reaching benefit
to the island resorts and every effort
should be made to show them the best
of good fellowship and hospitality, so
that when they return to their homes
Id every section of the country, they
will have only the highest praises of
the manner in which they were enter
tanned on this peerless island beach.
1t would be in order for the hotels,
business houses and private cottages
to beautify their buildings with appro-
pirate decorations during the stay of
the candymen. The weeks program
has been fully arranged and is as fol-
lows: Wednesday, July 18th, will be
Ladies' Day. During the morning
hours they will engage in a bowling
tournament on the alleys at the New
Ocean Pier and the winner will be
awarded a handsome silver cup. At
| D. m. the ladies will be entertained at
a luncheon at the home of the Wild
wood Yacht Club, to be followed by a
motor boat ride on Grassy Sound and
Hereford Inlet. The evening hours
will be spent in a sightseeing tour of
the island.
On Thursday, July 10th, q genuine
shore dinner will be held from 8 to 7 p.
M. on the beach in front of the Ottens
Ball Park. The menu of the feast will
be quite al elaborate one and will con-
sist of little neck CLAIMS, spring chicken,
white and sweet potatoes, corn on the
the cob, baked blue fish, French rolls
and relishes. In the evening a hop
will be given at the New Ocean Pier
and the men will engage in a bowling
contest on the Ocean Pier alleys. A
handsome silver cup will be given the
winner. Early in the morning q large
excursion of those identified with the
candy trade In Philadelphia and
neighboring towns will cbme to the
with thaizGlsRiiiesab kfrias
On Friday, July 10Th, those who de-
sire to take the trip, will be taken to
fishing trip and the one catching the
largest fish will be presented with a
handsome prize. Those who do not
wish to venture to sea, will be taken TO
the inside waters in motor boats IN
fishing and grabbing trips. A prize is
offered to the one making the largest
catch of crabs. In the evening the la
dies will enjoy a progressive euchre
party and the men a smoker at the
Wild wood Yacht Club.
Many of the delegates, especially
those who come here from a distance
with their families, will remain at the
shore for several weeks and the book
ings at the leading hotels are heavy for
Convention week.
