vice, Tentative Program

Plans we're launched at the Biltmor,
Hotel yesterday afternoon for a nation
VIDE tribute to Woodrow Wilson. A
temporary committee was appointed tt
work out plans for the memorial
Franklin D. Roosevelt heads it ane
Henry Morgenthau is the treasurer.
The tentative scheme outlined b,
Herbert S. Houston, of Worlds Work
IS that minimum of $oO0,00O be raised
10 endow an annual award for the per
son who has made the greatest contri
button through the year to human serv
ice. In addition, plan may be adopted
Tor giving several substantial prizes
each year to the college students Of
this country, and possibly of the world
Tor the best papers on international
SUBJECTS related to the development oil
the League of Nations. supplem en-.
tary suggestion is that awards be eiver
to encourage the constructive study Of
labor problems.
Five Hundred Are Present
These tentative plans were unani.
mously adopted by some 500 prominent
men and women. 1t is proposed that
similar meetings be held throughou
the country
John Drlnkwater, English drematist
gave an estimate of Wilson. He sa;c
that in getting up the memorial Amer.
lcans were stealing a march on history
since, in the future, Wilson would BE-
mum bered among the great.
ut is difficult to put an estimate m
man while every conceivable kind Of
controversy still RACES around him
said Mr.. Drinkwater. But the mar
who is temperam entally aloof is NOT
necessarily the man who is divorced
from the vivid popular movements Of
the time. Wilson brought a great ideal
to the world. Has it failed Even as
q guest in this country, one NAV sav
mat IN the handling of that ideal his
tactics were by no means perfect. Even
II at times they we're so weak as to
glve some color TO the denunciation
with which he has met, there can be no
question that his strategy has perma.
nently impressed the whole of our civ
ilization.'

completion of the New York Boule
ward. There will be a merry time fol-
everybody, either masked Or unmask-

affair is certain to be a happy oc-
casion. Already word of this closing
dance is spreading broadcast and
growing crowds may be anticipated
Every one will be eager to have one
more dance before the closing of the
finest dance floor in the county
Those who have danced on this floor
sure realize this fact. dwellings, or
chestra, as usual, will furnish the mu,
sic, which helps to make Lily Lake
Ball Room a more pleasureable place
to dance. Mr.. Neveling knows just
how to play those catchy melodies to
please his dancers. There will be cash
prizes awarded to those in costume,
also several boxes of bon bons will be
given away in the Lucky Favor Dance.
Mr.. Kesler has also provided a treat

ger cakes to make this a real olde
fashioned and long remembered dance.

making the last chance the merriest
of the season. We hope the Park will
only be closed for three or four weeks,
but owing to the condition of the road
it is uncertain.

ABSECoN WOMEN'S
REPUBLICAN CLUB MEETS

The Women's Republican Club of
Absecon met at the home of its presi-
dent, Mrs. l.. M. Clark, last Thursday
evening and enjoyed the best meeting
in their history. The thirty-eight mem
bers and fourteen visitors were hon
ored and instructed by such speakers
as Mrs. Virginia Johnson. v%ice-chair-
man of the Atlantic County Republican
Committee. Assemblyman Joseph A.
Corio, and Mrs. Amy A. Penhallow,
president of Pleasantville Republican
Club.
Much interest was manifested by the
members on election laws and nat
u~ralization OF foreigners. A committee
was appointed to instruct the foreign
ers how to become citizens. This
school of politics is advancing rapidly
in knowledge; surely Absecon will be
much the better for it's existence.
A resolution of endorsement was
given to the Republican Organization
candidates, thus showing they are pro-
gressive in things that are orderly and
in organized form. Arrangements are
being made for a dance under the aus
pieces of the Women's Club.
The entertainment features, last but
not least, were greatly enjoyed; the
hostess on this occasion, as well as on
many other occasions of diversified
interest, shows that this home sheds
forth much to enjoy, not only to its
regular inmates, but TO the town and
county.
Hence can be seen why the club is
having such a phenomenal success I'M
der such broad and wise leadership.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
DINNER GALA EVENT

The fifth annual banquet of the
Pleasantville Chamber of Commerce
was held at Lily Lake Park on Friday
evening of last week. There were
about one hundred and fifty represen-
tative citizens in attendance.
An appetizing menu, consisting of
chicken pot-pie, sweet and white pota-
toes, cold slaw, celery, olives, bread,
butter, coffee and ice cream was pre-
pared for the occasion by Manager
Kesler, and served in fine shape.
Following the dinner two speeches
were delivered, n by Hon. HI. Well
ington Wood, Judge of the Probation
Court of Philadelphia, and the other by
Rev. Robert A. Elwood, of Absecon.
No reference was made to business in
particular either by them OF by Mr..
Rolin A. Gale, who was the toastmas-
ter. 1t was an evening for social IN
joyment and all reference to business
was tabooed. Judge Wood made a
very optimistic speech. He said he al
ways had a smile for the other fellow
and was always willing to go fifty
fifty with everybody he met. He eau
toned his hearers to always be willing
to give as well as take and to always
have a good word to say instead of
finding fault with what some one had
done. DR.. Elwood said it was the fell
low who could smile, in the face of
adversely, who would eventually win
success. He related incidents of men
who had faced business depression
with a smile and who later had made
good. Both speeches were intermin-
gled with bits of humor that kept the
gathering in high spirits, and both
talks brought forth rounds of applause.
Prof. Isaac dwellings, Orchestra
started playing the alluring jazz as
soon as the tables were cleared from
the floor and for several hours the
guests danced fox trots, Paul Jones
and waltzes until the orchestra played
