WILDWOOD, NEW JERSEY, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER TO- 1922
WILDWOOD LEGION WILL CON-
DUCT ARMISTICE DAY EXER-
CISES

The local American Legion Post,
Byron Pennington Croker, No. 1874,
have taken charge of the Armistice
Day celebrations for Five Mile Beach
and they are planning to make No
vember 18th one of our biggest holt
days. The Committee in charge has
made all arrangements. The day will
begin with a parade in the morning,
public speaking and two minutes of
silent prayer at noon. The afternoon
viii be devoted to children's athletic
sports, followed by a football game.
Armistice Day is observed throughout
the country and Wildwood should
have as good a celebration as other
cities of our size. Although Memorial
Day is a holiday of mourning, Armis-
tice Day is n of glad rejoicing and
spirits in keeping with this thought
should prevail. The Legion boys
want all organizations of Wildwood
to cooperate with them on this day
and have asked us to nou that
all civic, fraternal, patriotic and other
Organizations of Five Mile Beach are
invited to participate. Parade forms
at 1880 at City Hall. Formation
ove at IL A. M. sharp. All organi-
zations-boy scouts, girl scouts,
school children, and all interested,
will please accept this as official
notice and invitation to join in this,
one of the National days for celebra-
ton.
The parade will begin marching at
IL o'clock sharp and will go up Pa
cific avenue to Oak, west on Oak to
Station Park and will halt there.
Public speakers will then make short
addresses until 11.5S, when the Post
requests that all vehicles on Five
Mile Beach and all work shall be
stopped for two minutes and that
these two minutes be spent in silence
in tribute to the thousands of brave
one who laid down their all in the
muddy soil of Europe.
At 100 the exercises will resume
with sports for the children at the
football field at oath and Pennsyl-
yania These sports will in
clude running races, three-legged
races, and all the other sports dear
to the hearts of the kiddies. At 8
P. NJ. the children's fun will be
stopped and the field will be cleared
for the football game between the
Wildwood Athletic Club team and the
Keystone Club, of Atlantic City.
Everything points to a big day in
wildwood or November 18th, and the
public should back up the Legion to
their fullest to make the day a success

that nothing could be done until the
new budget was made up for 1928.
He assured them, however, that when
the new budget was compiled that the
matter would be given sufficient at
tention to guarantee a year round col
lection instead of the previous six
months contract. MI. Weaver offered
a motion that the solicitor be in
structed to draw up an ordinance
regulating the storage of gasoline and
oil in tanks about the city and this
motion was carried.
A resolution was adopted asking the
postmaster general to investigate the
mail service with the view of either
establishing a separate post office or a
sub-station of the Wildwood office,

WEST WILDWOOD COUNCIL MEETS

The West Wildwood Council met
Tuesday evening at the Casino build
ing. The meeting was called to or
der by Mayor Warren D. Ham when
the election work was disposed of.
The roll call disclosed that all officers
and councilmen were present with the
exception of Councilman Charles
Hamilton. To hurry matters the
reading of the minutes were dispensed
with. One communication, from the
Delaware and Atlantic Telephone and
Telegraph Company, called attention
to the Ordinance recently passed by
the Council relative to the work of
this company and stated that the Or
dinance had been approved by the
Public Utility Commission. Bills for
the month were ordered paid. Reports
of all committees disclosed progress
and the monthly report of the treas
urer was read.
Sewer Contractor Craythorn stated
that the wiring for the disposal plant
was complete with the exception OF
crossing the creek, and he promised
that this work would be done shortly
and that the plant would be ready for
acceptance at the next meeting of the
board. A committee of ladies present
asked the Mayor about the garbage
question and were informed that the
money covering this matter had been
entirely expended for this year and

CITY DETECTIVE MAKES TWO
ARRESTS IN PHILADELPHIA

City Detective Charles Unfreed
went to Philadelphia last weekend,
but it was not a pleasure trip that
took him to 1.-THE Cradle of Liberty"
On the contrary, business was the
reason for his going to the city, and
he did not return until his business
was transacted. This business was
in the form of two warrants, the first
of which was for John Frey of 1920
North Arbor street, Kensington, want
ed on a charge of receiving stolen
goods. The second was for John
Vance (colored), charged with nom
support.
Unfreed found the first of his men
at his home address and picked up
Vance at 18th and Chestnut streets.
Bringing both prisoners back to Wild
wood, Vance was given a hearing be-
fore Justice of the Peace Harris and
it was disclosed that he had left Wild
wood four weeks ago, leaving his wife
and three children here. 1t vas
claimed that he had sent them prac-
tically nothing during these four
weeks. Overseer of the Poor Inger-
soil had sworn out the warrant against
him. Justice Harris ordered him to
pay $1,000 a week in support of his
wife and family and put him under a
5000 bond as a guarantee that this
money would be paid. Frey was given
a hearing before Magistrate Garretson
on Sunday and this hearing disclosed
that according to statements of the
alleged burglars in the Rosetta Shop
case) he had bought two bags of
sweaters from them. He was held
under $500 bond with Miss Myrtle
Baxter, of Philadelphia, a surety. 1t
is believed that this is the last Of the
gang implicated in the Rosetta Shop
robberies and doubtless their cases
will come up at the next term of
court.

WILDWOOD SURPRISES MILL
VILE HIGH WITH 40
TRIUMPH


One of the biggest surprises Mill
vile High School ever suffered was
given her on Tuesday afternoon when
the Wildwood High School eleven de-
feated her on the home grounds with
a 14-0 victory. Millville brought their
full squad here in a large auto truck
and the visiting officials were intent
on carrying home the spoils of the
game. Wildwood was just as much
intent on winning, however, and the
high school cheering sections were
out in full force with the big Wild
wood banner flying high and a black
coffin labeled "Here Lies Millville."
The cheering from these loyal sup
porters put a spirit into the school
players that made them tear great
holes in the Millville lineup. From
the first kick off, received by Wild
wood, the local boys ploughed right
down the field until they lay on Mill
ville's three-yard line. Here the Wis
iting team held them on the fourth
down and took the ball. A kick to
the thirty-yard line was received by
Wildwood and in the first scrimmage
following Joe Hoover took the ball
for an end I'll of thirty yards, carry
ing it over the line for the first touch
down. He also managed to make the
kick following count for the extra
point. A series of plays leading back
and forth on the field followed
throughout the first quarter and the
second quarter showed no gain for
either side. Wildwood did get near
the other goal in this quarter and
Hoover tried a kick from the thirty
yard line. 1t failed to go over, how
ever, and Millville soon had the ball
back in the center of the field. In the
interim between the halves the Wild
wood high school section did a snake
dance on the field with all the march
ers singing Wildwood songs, The
players of both teams retired to diff
ferent parts of the field where the
coaches gave them intermingled
words of praise and rebuke. Natur-
ally as the second half started the
players went into the line with a spirit
not shown earlier in the game. A
series of plays brought the ball within
twenty yards of Millville's goal.
Hoover made a run of ten yards then
and followed this with a line plunge
which carried him across for Wild
woods second score. He again man
aged to kick, bringing the total up to
14-0, and this score stayed throughout
the last quarter of the game with each
each side trying desperately to make
a gain. Wildwood played a good game
and in beating Millville she has
gained a good chance at the champion
ship. This Saturday the team jour
neys to Cape May to meet Coach
Fite's players from the high school of
that city. Cape May, although in her
first year of football, is considered
the only formidable rival for the
county championship, and so the
game on Saturday will be a good one
without doubt.
The lineup and score of Tuesdays
game is as follows:
