A regular meeting OF the
Board of Trade was held Monday night
with President Philip p. Baker pre-
siding. A large representation of the
Boards membership was present and
the proceedings developed interesting
phases of activity that are important to
the community. Mr.. Huppert asked
for a suspension of the order ofbusiness
and the privilege of making a state
ment that demanded immediate action.
The privilege was granted aud Mr..
Huppert stated that he had just come
from a consultation with Mr.. Bagley
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of calling off the
baby carnival for next week. DR..
Cohen had advised Mr.. Bagley that
the holding of the contemplated parade
would be unwise in view of the in
fantile paralysis situation in the cities.
The matter was generally discussed
and it was the unanimous judgment
of the board that to recall the parade
would develop suspicion in the minds
of the public from abroad as to health
conditions here and cause many who
are planning to come to Wildwood to re-
main away. In view of the Iact that
health conditions are SO good here, it
was thought best to continue registra-
tions for the parade aud hold 1t on date
set, unless the State Board of Health
ordered otherwise. Mr.. Huppert was
instructed to advise Mr.. Bagley accord
ingly which he did at once by phone.
Notwithstanding the action of the
board in regard to the baby parade DR..
Cohen insisted that The affair should be
called off, consequently The entertain
ment committee decided on Tuesday
morning to discontinue further registra-
ton and all advertising of the contest
parade and rolling chair pageant hal
were to be held August Is, II and is.
A communication was read from the
Stonemen stating that they would not
make an outing to Wildwood this year.
The advertising committee reported
that the float used in the Worlds Adj
vertising clubs parade at Philadelphia
cost S185 and that the entertainment
committee had paid $50 or account of
bill. The balance S135 was referred to
the City Commission for payment.
A vote of thanks was extended to Mark
3. Reeves and wife for their interest in
connection with making the feature
such a success. The advertising COM
mittee further reportedthatth the seasons
advertising had been made effective
through the local bureau of informa-
ton and the placing of literature with
Road signs indicating the roads to
Wildwood have been placed on the
highways as far as New Bruins wick.
The report also embodied that new
booklets were being prepared for dis
tribution this winter in conjunction
with moving picture films of the resort
for exhibition purposes. 1t was resell
we'd that the City Commissioners be re-
quested to discount notes not to exceed
$1,000, in anticipation of the appropTia-
ton for advertising, to meet the cost of
booklets and picture films. r. G.. Ware,
a member of the Philadelphia Chamber
of Commerce, addressed the board in
behalf of the Philadelphia year book,
a book that is being prepared to adj
vertise the business and recreation in
terests of Philadelphia and adjacent
cities. Mr.. Ware requested the board
to consider the placing of an ad in the
book at the rate of 500 a page. The
matter was referred to the advertising
committee. 1t was further reported
that the Pathe Motion Picture COM
pany would have an operator here

Using committee is preparing. This
