WILDWOOD NEWS NOTES

President Maxon and District Presi-
DEN Myers will be present. Special
attractions are being planned for this
meeting and the committee in charge
is hoping for a 100 per cent attend
ance on this occasion.
To reduce his big stock before re-
moval of store in the very near future,
Adachi, Pacific avenue, near Davis, is
offering from 20 to 35 per cent dis
count-lamps, ~chinaware, art goods
and novelties. Call early to secure
your choice.-adv.
Oak avenue was slightly congested
on Tuesday afternoon when three
large moving vans from Atlantic City
backed up to Roland Corson's mems
furnishing store and the crews started
unloading fixture after fixture. In
uuiry revealed that Mr.. Corson had
purchased the entire stock of fixtures
from an Atlantic City shop. These
cases are now being installed in his
store.

pie, lis w. Maple ave. Candy Store.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Armstrong, PIP East Pine avenue, was
the scene of two pleasant evening
parties last week. On Friday evening
the Baptist Church choir was enter
tained. About 20 members of the
choir were present and all enjoyed
themselves immensely. On Saturday
evening Rev. H. B. White, wife and
family, of the Methodist Church, and
Dorothy Lopez, of Green Creek, and
Mildred Kennedy, of Rio Grande, were
guests at a dinner party which was
also enjoyed by the guests present.
A mistake in writing a name for
publication in the Journal last week
held ND a settlement of $4,000 for a
Wildwood contractor. In the list OF
building permits issued appeared n
to Frank McAlarnen for a house for
Williams e Williams. 1t should have
been William R. Williams. Who can
dispute the power of the press? And
it also illustrates how careful a news
paper man must be.
The girls from the Sth grades of the
Wildwood and North Wildwood schools
have organized basketball teams and
on Wednesday afternoon these two
teams met on the floor of h high
school in Wildwood and played a fast
game in which the young ladies from
the northern end OF the Island won
out with a 32-1S victory. 1t is not a
bad guess that these same young
ladies will be candidates for the Girls
High School team in the season of
1924.
Miss Anna Empol left this week to
spend two months with relatives in
Philadelphia, New York and Chicago.
Not long ago Harry J.. Arnold, OF
Bristol, Pa, sold two 25-foot lots in
Block B, on Atlantic avenue, for
$4,000 to a wildwood real estate
dealer. Shortly afterwards this agent
sold the pair of lots at an advance OF
$1,000, or for $500, to VIM. II. Kent
ner. The location is adjoining the
trust company building.
There is a rumor about town that
the wildwood trolley line has been
sold and that the purchaser is Capt.
F.. P. Downs, president of the Union
Bank at Wildwood. The Journal has
investigated the story and finds it to
be true.
Henry Apeler, Of 3537 North Broad
street, Philadelphia, is the wner of
the cottage, nearly finished, at the
northeast corner of Poplar and New
York venue Ex-Commissioner
Frank E. Smith is the builder. Mr..
Apeler is the brother-in-law of Fred
erick Suter, %janitor of Glenwood ave-
nue. public school building.
Edwin Edwards, 213 East Pine ave-
nue., an employee at the Anglesea con-
crete block manufacturing plant
owned and operated by Frank P. Mat
terra, is temporarily disabled on ac-
count of a painful injury sustained
about a week ago, when he ran a
splinter in the f%orefinger of his right
hand while engaged in the work Of
sorting lumber.
S.. Adachi, who for a number of
years conducted an Oriental store on
the boardwalk opposite the Casino au-
ditorium, has decided to try his luck
the coming season on the new section
of the ocean front walk, having rented
a store room in the E. S. Culver block
close to Lincoln avenue. On or about
March list Mr.. Adachi will move his
store from it's present location on Pa
cifc avenue, near Davis, to the board
walk location as noted above.
The capacity for manufacturing
concrete building blocks at Frank P.
Mattera's Anglesea plant has been
largely increased by the installation
of another block machine and a b.
horse power motor of the Westing-
house type. The motor previously in
use was only 5 horse power. With the
additional equipment this plant can
now turn out $500 building blocks
daily, thus enabling the manufacturer
to meet the constantly increasing de-
mand. A large stock of well seasoned
blocks is kept constantly on hand.
