Wildwood Crest Fishing Club

The Saturday afternoon casting tour
naments under the direction of Judge
B. e. Ingersoll are surprising the most
sanguine expectations with their sue
cess. The members of the club have
been classified so that next season
they can begin the sport with added
vim, because Of possible com petition.
1t is true that as yet the boys are not
in the same class with Ocean City and
Asbury Park. But they believe that
another summer OF practice will put
them in a position where they can
make a good fight for the cup.
Last weeks tournament between the
fats, captained by Willsher, and the
leans piloted by Eckfeldt, went to the
corpulent casters by 459 yards with B.
G. Ingersoll as the honor contestant.
The rivalry between commuters and
regulars engendered by the fishing
match of 1918 has been rekindled by
a new challenge on the commuters
headed by F. w. Willsher, and Secre-
tary Hockenbury, leader Of the regulars,
has responded with an acceptance
promises TO conquer the ~challengers by
a catch oftwo to one. Only food fish
are to be counted. Skates and sting
Gree are positively barred. Forty-three
new members have been added to the
club this summer. Piermaster Nc
Cracker has resigned his position on
the fishing pier to take up Y. M. q. A.
work. The boys will miss Macs
CHEEKY smile and hearty manner.
During the past week king, weak and
goodies have predominated in the
catches, with now and then a blue fish
VIM. Hood, Of Pittsburg, and Ralph
MACPHERSON, of Edgewood, brought in
a basket of croakers and goodies from
the bay on Wednesday. H. Gardner,
Blanche Cox and Ursula Naughton
captured a bushel of crabs at Rio
Grade bridge on Saturday.

WORLD JEWRY AT
GREATEST CRISIS
Leaders in America Striving to
Save Race in Europe From
Destruction.
MUST SEND AID QUICKLY.
Children Are the Most PitIful Sufferers
From the catacIysm That Has
Ruined a Once Prosperous
People.

The Jews in almost every country
of the world except America are IN a
state more dire and terrible, perhaps,
thar any in which they have FOUND
themselves since the fall Of Jerusalem.
Briefly. the Jewish race In much OF
Europe is on the verge OF annihila-
ton.
The countries in which the plight OF
the Jews is the worst are Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Ru-
mania, Serbia, Galicia, Palestine,
Turkey. Greece and Siberia. In Wilma,
q typical town Of Poland, the Jewish
population has been cut down by star
yation. typhus and other diseases in
the last five years from 10000 to
$4,000. Nearly half Of the survivors
are dependent upon relief supplies
sent by their co-religionists In
America. Warsaw, Kovno, Constanza,
and many other cities throughout
Central and Eastern Europe tell the
same tale.
American Jews, aroused by the re-
ports that first filtered through after
the signing Of the armistlce, imme-
diately organized under the American
Jewish Relief Committee, of 10 East
doth Street, New York City, to save
their race abroad. They sent some 20
commissioners to various foreign coun-
tries to investigate the truth Of these
reports. Almost all these commission
,ers have now returned and the first
hand information that they have
brought back Is more alarming than the
early unsubstantiated reports. Such
men as Nathan Straus, Henry Morgen-
THAI, Julius Rosenwald, Jacob H..
Schiff, Felix M. Warburg, and many
other prominent members of this COM
mittee are now bending every effort
to arouse America to the great need
abroad and rush the food and supplies
across the ocean which, if sent quick
ily, will save the Jewish race from
destruction.
Saddest of the victims Of all this
woe are the children. Tens of thou
sands of pitiful youngsters who are
seven or eight years old have gone so
long undernourishe1 that they are lit
tle further developed than normal in
fants of one or two years. In the
Polish cities orphaned children wander
about the streets, homeless and unable
to get into the orphanages. These are
already o~vercrowded and depend
primarily upon American relief funds
to keep them going.

JEWISH RELIEF WORK
IS NOW WORLDWIDE
Christian as Well as Jewish Suf-
ferers Are Aided by 0rganiza-
ton That Covers Many Coun-
tries In Europe and the Orient.

Quietly, and practically without
publicity of any sort, the Jews of Amer
lea have built up, through the Amer
lean Jewish Relief Committee and
other official agencies, a machine for
the organization and distribution of
relief to war sufferers Of their own
and other races that is now practi-
cally worldwide. The headquarters Of
the Committee are at 10 East 10th
Street, New York. Expenditures for
this work now aggregate more than
$2,000,000 a month, and by means OF
s~tate-by-state campaigns to be held
this fall a total of $35,000,000 Is to
be sought to finance the work through
the coming months.
An enumeration of the countries in
which relief efforts are being made
is indicative of the scope Of the work.
Representatives of these Jewish agen-
cies are to be found In Poland, Czecho-
slovakia, ~Jugoslavia, Galicia, Serbia,
Rumania, and other Balkan states,
Greece, Turkey, Palestine and Siberia.
Small groups of refugees, cast up by
the backwash of war, are being as
sisted in Holland, Japan, China and
other isolated parts of the globe.
All told, many million Christians
and more than 100000 Jews in coun-
tries other than the United States are
being directly aided by American Jew
ish relief funds. The major portion
of this humanitarian work is of course
carried on In Eastern Europe. 1t is
there that the bulk of the worlds Jew
ish population lives. The fact thai
these same nations have been perhaps
hardest hit by the late war, explains
why World Jewry is at the greatest
crisis in it's history.
But though the Jews of America
have set out to save their race from
destruction, they are not forgetting
that their own people are not the only
sufferers in these lands: The signifi-
canoe of the whole undertaking becomes
apparent when 1t is known that the
relief supplies which have been pur-
chased and shipped largely with Jew
ish funds are distributed without dis
elimination to Christians as well as
Jews. Barriers of race and creed
have been submerged in the flood tide
Of suffering throughout much of the
earth, and the efforts of American
Jewry to aid in the great crisis Of
today have become as broad as human
Wy itself.

WHITMAN ENDORSED FOR
ATLANTIC CITY COMMISSIONER
From the Atlantic City Daily Press of
Tuesday.

From the Atlantic City Daily Press of
Tuesday.
The Chelsea Union League last
week came out in favor of Frank
Swoboda as a candidate for the next
City Commission, and last Monday
night the Second Ward City Republi-
can Club took a straw vote on their
candidate and the organization almost
unanimously voted in favor of Hon.
Bertram E. Whitman, a former mem
Der of the Assembly and at present
president of the Atlantic County Board
of Taxation, as their candidate.
Mr.. Whitman, until two years ago
a resident of Pleasantville, served
three terms as a member of the House
of Assembly and by his close attention
to business and his genial manner
made for himself an enviable reputa-
ton as a legislator. He has been ag-
gressive and progressive as a member
of the County Tax Board and as a re-
suit of his persistency has caused a
number of the rural district assessors
to make a general advance in their as
sessments thereby bringing their val
uations up to somewhere near what
they should be. His term as a member
of the County Board expires next May,
and as appointment is made by the
next Governor his successor is GER
tain to be a Democrat.
Mr.. Whitman said last night that
while he had been approached some
time ago on the subject of being a
candidate for the City Commission, he
had given the matter no real serious
thought. But when he was so gener-
ally favored by the Second Ward Club,
he concluded that if hat body of men
wanted him and would stand back of
him in the coming election in the
Spring he would enter the fight and be
a candidate.

INTEREST REVIVED IN
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
About a Hundred Representative Cit
liens Attended Special Meeting
Last Monday evening.
MEMBERSHIP RECEIVES BOOST.

The Pleasantville Chamber of Com
merce held an open meeting in the
auditorium of the local High School
building last Monday evening. The
auditorium was about half filled with
business men of the city.
Mr.. John S. Weaver, president of
the local Chamber, presided, and the
meeting was opened with the signing
of America" by the entire audience,
under the leadership of Miss Eckhardt,
the musical director of the Pleasant
vile schools. Several other patriotic
selections followed, i~nterspersed with
solos by some of the High School girls.
Mr.. Weaver, in well chosen words,
then introduced Mr.. Samuel P. Leeds,
President of the Atlantic City Cham
Der of Commerce, who delivered an
able address upon what a Chamber of
Commerce meant to a community and
its mission in that community. He
touched upon practically every live
subject now confronting this section,
told what the Chamber of which be
is the head, is accomplishing and has
accomplished, and urged the members
to give their undivided support to the
local President, and wound up by con-
graduating the Pleasantville Chamber
upon having such an able and progress
sive citizen at the helm of its affairs.
Mr.. Leeds was followed by Mr.. Will
liam A. Surrell, Secretary-Manager of
the Camden Chamber of Commerce.
1t was evident from the very first
words of Mr.. Surrel1's talk that he
was a live wire, and that the Camden
Chamber had for it's manager a man
who put action above words. Mr.. Sur
rell's talk drifted from the serious
matters that come before such a body
occasionally, to relate some witty little
story to more clearly illustrate the
points he was bringing out. His talk,
as well as that of Mr.. Leeds, certainly
left the members with food for
thought.
At this stage of the meeting, Presi-
dent Weaver invited the members and
guests to the Gym. in the basement,
where dainty refreshments had been
prepared and were served by Miss
Crowell, the Domestic Science teacher,
and one of her classes. While the
feed was in progress, Mr.. Weaver call
ed on several local members for short
talks, all of whom responded in a
pleasing way.
The Chamber feels that much good
will come from this meeting. and all
citizens interested in the welfare of
the city and its inhabitants are invited
TO become members. The dues are
very nominal, and any member of the
Chamber will be glad to propose you
for membership.
