from upstate, has annexed thirteen
consecutive victories and already is a
claimant to the Glass B championship
of South Jersey. P. H. S. has not
been defeated by a High School team
on the home floor this season, so the
basketball fans can look forward to
the best tilt of the season. The Re-
serves will meet an Atlantic City OPP
ponent at 7.30 p. m. Admission is Csc.
The P. H. S. A A. is conducting a

South Jersey High Schools will be
held in Camden. Last year, after de-
feating Woodbury. H. S. 35-29, P. H.
S. drew a bye and was eliminated by
Trenton H. s., $50. This year P. H.

ASK COMMISSION
TO START PAVING
Somers Point Chamber Wants
Ocean City-Somers Point Bou-
levard Hard Surfaced.
RESOLUTION is PASSED.

At a special meeting of the Somers
Point Chamber of Commerce, held this
week, a resolution was passed asking
that the State Highway Commission
consider the hard surfacing of the
Somers Point-Ocean City Meadow
Boulevard this spring.
The Ocean City Chamber of Com.
merce and other civic organizations of
Cape May County have passed similar
resolutions. An effort is being made
to have the road hard surfaced before
the warm weather and summer visit
ors arrive.
The resolution reads: Whereas Som.
ers Point is the most used gateway to
Cape May County for the traffic from
Atlantic City, New York, both the
White Horse and the Black Horse
pixies; and
Whereas, The hard surface road
ends at Somers Point, thereby discour-
aging traffic beyond that place; and
Whereas, The coast section of New
Jersey depends upon pleasing visitors
for it's income; and
Whereas, Thousands of additional
tourists will be encouraged to use
Somers Point as a gateway to Cape
May County if the mile of gravel road
over the meadows to Ocean City is
hard surfaced; now be it
Resolved, That the Highway Com.
mission of New Jersey be earnestly
requested to give favorable c~onsidera.
ton to the hard surfacing of the road
this spring. SO that the coming sum.
mer's traffic will not be harrassed by
dust and mud.

LAY DELEGATES
Forces Lining Up to Support
Prominent Churchmen at
Annual Conference.
mr. c0RSlk MAY IEAl
DR.. cORSON MAY LEAD

With the date of the annual meet
ing of the New Jersey Methodist Epis-
copal Conference near at hand, there
is considerable activity being display
ed over the selection of delegates to
the General Conference, which con-
at Springfield, Mass, in May.
The New Jersey Conference will be
represented at the General Conference
by ten delegates, five of the clergy and
five from the laymen of the Confer
ence.
In other days it was a general Gus
tom to elect each of the four District
Superintendent as General Confer
ence delegates, but this time it is said
that not more than two or three of the
District Superintendent may be cho-
sen for the high honor. 1t is conced-
ed that Rev. Alexander Corson, Dist
riot Superintendent of the Camden
District, will head the New Jersey
delegation of ten, with District Super
intendent Rev. Melville w. Snyder, of
the Trenton District, almost sure of
being selected. DR.. Snyder is nov an
assistant secretary of the General
Conference and has a possible chance
of being elevated to the position of
uti dl oCCl Cldly DloIl1CJ ouPCiln-
tendent Rev. Alfred Wagg, of the New
Brunswick District, is also prominent
ly mentioned as one of the successful
ones for the delegate post.
Among the pastors, Rev. Richard A..
Conover, the Conference Evangelist,
who recently conducted a successful
revival at Wesley M. E. Church, is
prominently mentioned, as also are
Rev. Harold Sloan, of Bridgeton; Rev.
John Handley, of Ocean City; Rev.
James w, Marshall, Rev. Sherman G.
Pitt, of Vineland, and Rev. L. E. Pur-
cell, of Pennsgrove.
When the laymen hold their annual
convention in st. Paul's M. e. Church
next Friday morning, the contest will
be just as keen for the coveted honor
as with the clergymen.
So many names have been mention
ed for the FIVE places that several bal
lots will likely have to be cast.
Some of the leaders among those
mentioned include William E. Massey,
prominent in Methodism, in Ocean
City; Harry P. Bennett, of Long
Branch. a C Rotfenbsrgera managsr
of the Hotel Dennis, Atlantic Cfy;
Edgar Y. Dobbins, n of the leading
members of Tabernacle Church, Cam
den; Franklin B. Platt, of Haddon
Heights; Editor Sweeney, Red Bank;
Holt Apgar, Trenton; John Morgan,
Camden; George C. Baker, Palmyra,
who is on a trip to Europe, and w. F.
Couse, Asbury Park.
This list will be materially added to
before the time arrives for the cleo
ton.
In addition to the likely changes in
pulpits already announced, it is said
that Rev. J. B. Adams, who has been
in prohibition work for a considerable
time but recently relieved of that
work, will return to the active paste.
rate.
H. L. Burkett, who has been looking
after work for the Moody institute,
will probably also return to the pasto-
rate at this coming session.

Monday night, when the machine he
was driving was struck by a car said
to be owned by a man by the name OF

Rev. S. Monroe Van SAINT, pastor OF

juries when he arrived home.
The driver of the other machine, it
is alleged, endeavored to cut past a

hind on the bridge. Seeing the road
ster he quickly swung behind the tour

STREET IMPROVEMENTS

The matter Of the City of Absecon
acquiring the Lemuel White property
along the White Horse pike, where
the public swimming pool is located,
for public park purposes was again
brought up alta meeting of Council on
Wednesday evening. A survey is now
being made of this property. As soon
as this survey is completed a deed
will be drawn up and the necessary
ordinance passed to enable the city to
acquire the property for a park. The
park matter has been in the hands of
the City Engineer and City Solicitor
for several months. In the meantime
the Civic Club and other civic organi-
cations have been making inquiries as
to what action Council would take to
give the city the desirable park site.
The Absecon Fire Company made
another effort on Wednesday night to
have Council give the company some
financial aid this year without any
result. At the last meeting of Council
Fire Chief Charles M. Kesler sought
to have an appropriation inserted in

to- take this action. At this weeks

POINT COUNCIL
STILL FIGHTS
Change in Administration Fails to
Bring Expected Harmony in
Political Circles.
GARBAGE CAUSES A ROW

The expected harmony which was
hoped to come to Somers Point after
Mayor George Coll and several Coun-
cilmen favorable to his administration
policy were elected last November, has
not materialized. There is now devel-
oping a fight which will soon be as
bitter as ever unless the opposing fac
tions quickly change tactics. The lat
est controversy is over the collection
of garbage. Then there is the cues
ton of who shall have the custody of
the cup awarded Somers Point in the
Atlantic City Fall Pageant last year.
The firemen's fight occupied atten-
ton for a long time and the school
question doomed up for a battle for
several months. These two questions
have gotten fairly under control but
the cup controversy and garbage ques-
ton are a long way from settlement.
Only a few short months ago several
women of the city stirred the civic
harmony when a row started over a
pastor who served the Baptist Church.
This church fight stirred the people
to such an extent that the minister
was forced to quit.
The garbage fight came when Mayor
Coll hired a man to help in the gar
bage collection. The bill for this
mans services was presented and the
finance committee failed to approve it.
The question is expected to come up
again at the next meeting of Council.
In the fight for the possession of the
Pageant trophy Council insisted that
Miss Elsie Banholzer, who was Miss
Somers Point" be given the cup, while
members of the Chamber of Commerce
through whose efforts Somers Point
entered the Pageant, insist that the
cup shall be the property of the city
at large and not of one individual.
All the contention has centered
mainly in the fight for control of the
city affairs by different political fac
tons. At elections just enough of OPP
posing factions are selected to give
the majority trouble in putting through
the policies theysdesire each year and
then the people take sides when diff
ferences arise and the matters are
sometimes made personal, which
causes continuous strife.
