MEMORY CONTEST
BEING ARRANGED
Keen Interest is Aaroused in At
lantic County Schools Over
Unique Innovation.
PRIZES ARE TO BE AWARDED

The psychology of undertaking a
Music Memory Contest is the creating
of a receptiyity in the mind of the
pupil SO that musical knowledge will
be more easily acquired.
Atlantic County pupils from fifth
grade up during the regular music
period each day familiarize themselves
with a list of twenty-five classical Sc
lections played on victrola. piano or
sung. At the end of eight weeks
training, fifteen selections from the
list are chosen and those able to rec
ognize and name the greatest number
Of compositions correctly, with that
of the composer, and spell correctly,
are awarded prizes.
Parents of pupils attending schools
in Atlantic County who enroll in the
contest are urged to supplement this
training by arranging for opportunities
outside of school for pupils to hear
records of the contest numbers.
The cooperation of all those inter-
ested in stimulating a love for good
music among children and increasing
the musical interests of Atlantic Coun-
ty is earnestly solicited.
The contest. training is to begin the
first week in March and continue for
eight weeks. The final contest will
take place during the first week in
May, National Music Week, at which
time it is planned to hold a County
Song Festival.
Schools not provided with Victrolas
and necessary equipment are thus Civ
en- plenty of time TO devise ways and
means of obtaining them.
1t is hoped to make this first AT
I.ANTIC COUNTY MTTGJr sHEsEoDty
~c@g-arEM1n
CONTEST as great a success here a
in other counties.

Meetings Which Continue to
Grow in Interest.

Large congregations greeted the
Evangelist, Rev. Richard A. Conoyer
on Sunday, when he began a two
weeks eVangelistic effort in Wesley

flowing of Christ's love to brighten
all the dark corners.

close OF the service a meeting of the
teachers was held for the purpose of
prayer in behalf of the
members of the several classes. each
teacher, with the Evangelist, the Sup
erintendent and the pastor taking part.
Already DR.. Conover has made a deep
impression on the people by his sim
pliclty in preaching, his sincerity and
his plans for activity.
On Monday evening, despite the bit
ter cold weather, a little company
gathered and gained much profit from
the heart to heart talk by DR.. Como
yer. He told of various ways in which
be had been enabled 10 lead people
to the feet of Jesus and exhorted
those who would seek to lead someone
to God to first be sure that he him
self was ''in the way of righteousness"
He said that almost invariably when
a person of the world faces some
great trouble o sorrow they seek a
nan or woman of God.

BIG INCREASE
Of CONSUMERS
Atlantic County Water Company
Expanding Annually to Keep
Up With Cities Served.
EXTENSIVE 1924 PROGRAM

The Atlantic County Water Compa-
ny, in order to keep up with the con-
slant growth of the municipalities
served by it, is constantly expanding
its plant and adding to its equipment,
to maintain a service that will meet
the requirements demanded of it. This
causes the corporation to make an out
lay of money that is astounding in its
proportions.
During 1929 three and a half miles
of six inch pipe were laid and seventy
even gate valves We're installed.
Service connections made amounted to
1854 feet, or considerably over one
mile.
At this seaso of the year the daily
consumption of water in the munich
palities served by the company is
about 100000 gallons, and in summer
this is increased to about 800, 900 gal
Ions. The company supplies consum-
ers in Absecon, P~leasantyille, Linwood,
Mortified and Somers Point, as well
as parts of Egg Harbor Township,
which latter are included in Pleasant
vile records.
In 1928 it was found necessary to
seek larger office quarters for the com
pany, so the officials purchased a plot
of ground fronting on Old Turnpike,
100 feet front by 80 feet back to the
Atlantic City Railroad. On this lot
was erected a modern two-story brick
building, the first floor of which is
used For office purposes, the second
floor being an apartment and the base
ment containing a workshop 20 by 48
feet
There was an increase of over 500
consumers during the last year over
300 of which were in ~Pleasantville
alone. This reflects the constant
growth of Pleasantyille. The consul
mer data for 1922 was as follows:
Absecon, 1853; Pleasantville, 1893;
Mortified, 1888; Linwood, 1853; Somers

of 1923 there were consumers as fol-
lows: Absecon, 1871; Pleasantville,
1880; Mortified, 240; Linwood, IT'S;
