Electrical Men
Hold Banquet
Dine at Harry Glyn's Hotel in
Absecon and Are Wonderfully
Entertained.

The fact that the United States is
far behind Europe in airplane building
n flying was pointed out by w. H.
Ripley, one of the three experts from
the General Electric Company, of
Schenectady, N. Y, who addressed a
meeting of electrical contractors from
Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland
counties in Harry Glynn's Hotel, Alb
secon, last Friday night. His address
was illustrated with s~tereopticon
slides, made from photographs he had
taken while travelling through Europe
by airplane.
Mr.. Ripley declared that one could
get an airplane from any of the prin-
cipal cities in Europe to any other city
at convenient hours, for the small cost
of four cents per mile, while in this
country that would be impossible. He
also emphasized the fact that this
mode of transportation was twice as
rapid as the swiftest express trains,
and just as safe in Europe through
their wonderful development of the
a%eroplane. The European govern
ments substitute the industry.
With Mr.. Ripley, Mr.. Rice, also of
the General Electric, gave a talk on
illumination, also illustrated, and Mr..
Raymond, of the same company, spoke
on motors.
Just preceding these talks, Mr.. Will
liam H. Heller, Underwriters Inspect
or for this District, answered many
questions submitted to him by the con
tractors, pertaining to installation and
other electrical work.. The questions
had been put in writing, and the an
sWers were clear and concise, n of
much value to the large gathering of
contractors.
Talent from an Atlantic City caba-
ret, headed by Evelyn Nesbit, together
with Tied" Lewis and Harry Glynn,
furnished the entertainment. Mr..
Lewis sang several selections of his
own composition. Harry Glynn also
sang several of his radio broadcasting
longs.
During the entertainment an elabo-
rae banquet was served. "Tom"
-Iyers and his Symphonic Quintet
furnished the music.
William H. Heller was in charge of
the affair, with the able assistance of
Clark Adams and Edward T. Stephen
son local electricians, and H. L. Fred
erick, of the General Electric Co., of
Philadelphia.
