FIGHTING NET FISHERMEN
Delaware Bay Anglers to Unite for
Game Fish Protection

Maurice River, N. j., August 49,
The ishermen's organization formed
by captains of the boats which take
out parties to the fishing banks in the
Delaware Bay is enlisting the sup
port of the thousands of patrons who
spend many days on the water during
the season in it's fight to prevent net
fishermen from interfering with their
work. Contributing members are
being sought, and these are asked to
pay 81 for membership, the money
obtained to be used in pushing legisla-
ton the coming winter in Trenton and
in Washington. Unless something is
done along this line it is claimed that
fishing in the bay will soon be a thing
of the past. When the fish come in
near shore to spawn these net workers
gather them in by the millions and
prevent the spawning. All the cap
tains here and at Forteseue have
body interested in the dollar move
ment." 1t will cost considerable to
have representatives in the Legisla-
ture and Congress, and as something
must be done soon, it is felt that the
money can be raised throughthe con
tributing member idea. Many dollars
have already poured in. Each captain
lays the matter before his boat party,
and almost to a man a dollar is
turned over. Most of the big fish have
left the bay through the work of these
net men, and it is predicted that inside
of three years the fishing here will be
no good if the nets are allowed
Philadelphia Record, Sunday, August
IA, 1921.
Fishing boat pilots of Fortescue,
Maurice River and Greenwich Piers
started at Fortescue last night a move
ment to protect the game fish during
the spawning season in the Delaware
Bay. Senator Firman NJ. Reeves, Mill
vile, was the chief speaker.-Philadel-
phia Record, August 20, 1921.
The above quotations from the Rec
ord should be sufficient warning to all
fishermen that in addition to
enemy of old, the rod and reel fisher
men, we are now to be attacked in no
uncertain manner by the hard SHELF
fishermen of the Delaware, now en-
gagged in taking parties out to the fish
ing grounds and therefore desire the
Legislature to declare the fish of the
Delaware their exclusive property, or
at least, prohibit fishing by any
method except as employed by them.
Constant study of conditions in the
fishing industry has taught us that
fish are being exterminated, not by
fishermen, but by the poisonous pol
luton of all tide water streams. The
United States Bureau of Fisheries has
proven by actual tests that pollution
not only kills the fish, but also the
food properties that pure water ar

ANGLESEA NOTES

On the evening of August 25th a
most enjoyable surprise party was ten
dered the Misses Clara and Margaret
Houghton by the Anglesea Baptist
church, and as they were made
~speechless by this surprise and fear
ing that these folks might think by
their silence that all their kind
thoughts and efforts were not appre-
ciated, they wish to express their
united appreciation to each and every
one who helped make this one of the
pleasant little jottings in their book
of memory.
Miss Frances Barber, of Woodbury.,
is visiting w. L. Rohn and family for
a short time.
John Bake, of San Bernardino,
Calf, is on an extended visit to his
sister, Mrs. Victor Braidwood and
family.
Sunday afternoon Elson Crowley
was hit by the Anglesea Ice Company's
truck which was driven by "Bill'
Zaiser, who, it is said, did not have
a license to drive and was locked up
by Policeman Baker but was later re-
leased. Crowley was slightly cut on
the head and arm.
The darkness in which the island
was plunged on Sunday evening when
the electric power was put out of COM
mission had no terrors for the con-
gregation of the Anglesea Baptist
church. A full house had turned out
in anticipation of a good musical pro-
gram, and they were gratified beyond
their expectations. In the midst of the
Scripture reading the lights ceased to
function; while some of the good
ladies were procuring lamps, a spon-
taneous song service fairly rocked the
building with popular hymns. The
special number preceding the offering
was a solo, open Thou Mine Eyes,"
~impressively sung by William Dole.
1t isn't always possible to judge of a
mans youth by his years. To do so
would outclass one of the very young
men who has been summering at An
glesea this summer. Clipper and
livelier than many men less than half
his age is Harry G. McIntire, who
modestly confesses having rounded out
92 years on this planet and has no
thought of eve becoming old. For so
years MI. McIntire has been Crier in
Court of Common Pleas, No. 3, in
Philadelphia. AS far back as 1854 he
was made a Master Mason in Phila-
delphia Lodge, No. 70, F. and A. M.
Just think of it, 67 years continuous
membership in one lodge! AS though
this were not enough to chronicle
about one man, we are pleased to tell
that he enjoys the companionship of a
charming daughter in her teens"
Mr.. McIntire attributes his splendid
physical condition to the fact that he
has been a total abstainer from intoxi-
cants and tobacco all his life.
Postmaster Joseph Long spent Tues
day in Philadelphia on business.

not to prohibit fishing, but to elimi-

To prevent the passage of a law

EXCELLENT MUSICAL CONCERT
walter Pfeiffer and Associates
please Large Gathering

otto the most brilliant musical
- of the season was the concert
- chamber music given under the
..nices of the wildwood Civic Club
Saturday evening, August 9th, in
Atlantic Pier. The complete pro-
ram and patrons will be found on

zion Of Walter Pfeiffer, the leader of
TT;ldwood's Municipal Orchestra in
rost seasons. 1t goes without saying
hat anything given under the direc-
ion Of Mr.. Pfeiffer would be as mu-
sioollv perfect as is humanity possible.
The program was arranged with a
&c perfection of balance and values
Nd was rendered with great artistic
feeling and beauty.
The artists assisting Mr.. Pfeiffer,
ubo played first violin, were Paul
Eillsack, second violin; Hugo Carow,
viola. Karl Kneisel, cello; Nathan
coban. bass; Frederick G. Rauser,
niano. They are all finished musicians

IN our orchestra last season, delight
inc hundreds by his beautiful solo
work. The other gentlemen are mem
hers of the Philadelphia Orchestra and
have played in our Municipal Orches-
+ra in past seasons. Mr.. Kneisel's
unusual technique and fine interpre-
tation made his cello solos drawing
cards in many of concerts. Mr..
Carow's wonderful tone and beautiful
rendering of the viola solo in "The
Caucasian Village" is also a most
pleasant memory. .
The soloists of the concert were
Emily Stokes Hagar, soprano; Piotr
Villa. baritone, and Walter Pfeiffer,
yiolinist. Mrs. Hagar, who is a great
f~ayorite with the Wildwood public,
sane beautifully, her selections being
admirably adapted to the crystalline
quality of her voice.
Mr.. VILLAS voice is a resonant BARI
tone of unusual range and quality,
and he sang with a verve and artistry
that enchanted his hearers. Mrs.
Hagar and Mr.. Villa also sang in
duette. One of the most lovely things
done was their encore sung with a
delicious blending of tone.
Mr.. Pfeiffer played Wieniawski's
difficult Souvenir de Moscou," dis
playing a finished technique and So
norous tone.
One of the most beautiful things
done by the strings was "Saeterjen-
tens S~ondag," a Norwegian Folksong
by Ole Bull, arranged for string quin-
tette by Oscar Huebner. The arrange
ment brought out every nuance and
cleverly enhanced the beauties of the
melody.

ocALA AND THE CAPITAL

Writing from Tallahassee Mr.. Stone
man. editor of the Miami Herald says:
"Old Tallahassee is beautiful in
spring dressing of fresh green foliage
and flowers. 1t is q city that strikes
one from the extreme southern por-
tion of the state as being one in which
people have lived comfortably and
happily, not for few years. only, but
for generations. 1t is staid. quiet and
dignified, but this pleasant setting
is not going to permit it to rest in
peace as the capital of the state.
There are those who have come to the
legislature. both as members and as
helpers, with the determination Ito
have submitted to the people the
question of capital removal. that ques.
tion that always arouses antagonisms
and political animosities, and that
fight promises to be one of the most
interesting of the session. If Ocala,
the candidate for future state capital
honors. can have its way
We submit that this fling is imma-
ture and entirely unjustified.

THOSE IN PRISON BONDS

We may be entirely wrong, as we
sometimes are, but we can not help
having pity for those in prison bonds.
We can not help being shocked when
we read Of the cruelties inflicted upon
the weak and unfortunate, and even
the debased, when in dark. unventilat-
ed dungeons In ancient time, and the
infiiction of cruelties in times not so
remote. We can not help placing up
on the brow OF Howard and other
prison reformers wreath of inn
mortelles. So we read with delight
the gracious words of Mrs. Martha p.
Falconer. of New York City, formerly
superintendent of the Steighton Farms
for Delinquent Girls of Philadelphia,
now social expert Of the National Hy-
genie Association, as she passes
through Florida.

Preventative Medicine

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one OF the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development Of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication Of cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack of pneumonia when this remedy
may be obtained for trifle ad1-mo
