TO MEET BLUE HENS

The visit OF Industrial Manager

Salem County yesterday to arrange

sey people had heard about tho COM

about the cordial reception the ex-
cursionists will receive and there can
be no question that an invitation for

he delegation yesterday went
through Salem and as far as Bridge
ton. and this will probably be the
route Of the excursion when Il is
finally worked out. although II may
be thought advisable TO change the
itinerary later.
At Salem the Wilmington visitors
had a long talk with Mayor Smashen
who is an enthusiastic believer in the
benefits which will come from the
trip. The mayor OF BridEeton was
on a trip down the river with the
Governor Of New Jersey.
