Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-03-22


The Holly Beach Fire Company gave
an entertainment and luncheon on
Thursday evening of last week. The
first thought was to entertain the call
o,s from Wissahickon Barracks at
Cape May, but this did not come to
pass, because of the presence of the
Presidents daughter at Cape May.
The soldier boys remained at the Cape
to take part In the social functions ar.
ranged in honor of Miss Margaret Will
son, whose visit to Cape May was for
the purpose of singing for the men in
training. The exercises then became a
purely home affair, and there were
nearly a hundred people present, rep
resenting the firemen, their wives and
friends. Bob Latimer was POSTMASTER
and there were add by e. A. Nor
ton, H. e. Chalmers, the three City
Commissioners and others. Miss
Helen Coombs recited the modern
Paul Revere and there was also a reci-
tation by Miss Coleman. Dorothy
Finn and Alfreida Nye gave piano
solos. An outcome of this meeting was
the formation of a ladies auxiliary to
the fire company, which was taken up
at the suggestion of R. g.. Pierpont
and a committee of seven as follows
appointed to arrange for the new or
g%aniZation: Mrs. Charles Barnett,
Mrs. Warren Mount, Mrs. Cecil Ober,
Mrs. Pierpont, Mrs. Eli Barnett, Mrs.
Charles Nickerson and Mrs. White.

ing. Another meeting will be held at
