The Camp Ere Girls, of Colora,
had an all day meeting Saturday,
Nov. 10, at the home of Mrs. Ruth
Lippencott.
In the morning some made scrap
books, while the rest prepared din

wash the dishes and the rest worked
on scrap books until 2:30, when the
ceremonial meeting was called to
order.
We elected new officers as follows /;
President, Viola Dowland; Vice-pres-
ident, Marjorie Stephenson; secre-
tary, Dorothy Garvin; song leader,

Each told the honor we had en-
joyed most of certain tasks. Miss
Lynch. who had been invited, was
unable to come.
The ceremonial meeting was over
at $3.50, and some left for home,
while others remained to finish scrap
books.
The next coming Wednesday, 23rd
of November, we had supper down
in Gibsons meadow, and we had a
surprise for Mrs. Lippincott.
The Camp Fire Girls made a per-
manent fireplace, to have our sup
pers, and that was the surprise for
her.
We had our mothers down for sup
per the same evening, and planted
our tree.
For supper we had tomato garvy
and boiled potatoes, bread and but

CECIL HAS FOOTBALL STAR

Gus Crothers, son of Omar ID.
Crothers, Sr., of Elkton, Md, has
been named as left guard on the
mythical All-Maryland football team,
and is one of the two University OF
Maryland men to be named. The
other is Lewis Thomas, speedy half
back, and senior. Both boys have
done exceptionally fine playing this
year and easily deserve the credit
given them. The All-Maryland team
is picked from the varsities from all
of the colleges and universities in
the state. To win a berth on it
player must have shown himself to
be better than any other man in his
position.
Gus" figured in every game play
ed by the Maryland team and was
''the power behind the throne" that
made it possible in many cases for
the team to score. Coach "Curley"
Byrd says, "Crothers has improved
in his playing more than any other
man have had. He has developed
into one of the best players we've
got and will be a big help to us next
year. He is mighty fine chap"
Not only is he well liked by his team
mates but his all-round fellowship
has made him probably the most
popular athlete among the students.

West Atlantic
City Terminal
Still Possible
Reading Company Marking
Time on Station Project
As Now Planned
HELP UP BY
PROPERTY OWNERS
Terminal West of Thorough
fare May Be Only Possible
Solution - Avenue Hotel
men Hold Meeting

That it is still possible for a
Union Terminal to be built in
West Atlantic City became appar-
ent at a meeting of the Avenue
Hotel Association, held in the
Hotel Stanton, South Pennsylvania
avenue.
The terminal project is now
practically at a standstill, the
Reading railroad apparently having
reached an impasse in its negotia-
lions with property holders along
the site which the new terminal
would occupy.
IF reports reaching us are cor
rect the Reading has come to an
impasse and is marking time on
the station project said Max
Grossman, executive secretary of
the association. Recently an offic-
ial of that road spoke of terminal
improvements here as only contem-
plated.
This is entirely foreign to our
understanding of the situation as
it is supposed to exist today. We
have been assured that building
operations will start in 1923 and no
one can deny that Atlantic City
will suffer serious setback if this
project is not carried out as extens-
lively advertised in papers through
out the country"
While property owners are hold
ing out for enormous prices on the
proposed site, much possible land
is lying idle in West Atlantic City.
A terminal west of the thorough
fare would be the best thing that
could happen to Atlantic City 1t
would keep the avenues open to
traffic at all times, would elimin-
ate the smoke from the locomo-
tives filling the city. and would
simplify the network of tracks that
now interlace the western half OF
the city.
The meadow terminal project is
still a possibility and the longer
that property owners hold up the
Reading railroad, the more possible
it becomes.
Among other problems brought
up by the association was bus con-
gestion, plan for the solution of
which Charles d. Broughton. presi-
dent of the Colon Manor hotel
corporation is formulating.

Homes Now Built To Save
Steps For The Housewife
Dwellings Now Contain Features Which Meet With Economi
cal Views of the Woman of the House

Home decoration is no longer
limited to wall paper and flat
paints of various types.
Another form of decoration,
which, when it first came into use,
was held by decorators as more or
less of a fad that would soon die
out, it gaining firm foothold.
This is the present-day vogue for
rough-textured wall finishes
Rough-textured wall finishes, we
are told, originated in California
and Florida, where the rough finish
on the walls of buildings erected by
the early Spanish settlers of those
States formed the precedent.
Tourists of those States, seeing
and admiring the adaptions or
these old textures being used by
modern home builders there,
brought the ideas into their home
States. So, within the last two or
three years the vogue has been
spreading rapidly, and rough-tex-
tured wall finishes are to be found

Rails Finished
On Beautiful
New Bridge
Forecast Great Usefulness of
Newest Highway
Structure
MEANS MUCH TO
WEST ATLANTIC CITY
Albany Boulevard Is Rapidly
Becoming Prominent AS
Center of Automobile Show
r00ms-Many Public Build
ings Nearby

The completion of the heavy con-
crete balustrades and rails on the
new 100000 Albany Avenue, West
Atlantic City bridge gives one a
chance to picture the bridge as it
will be when completed entirely,
presumably in few weeks.
The bridge promises to be one
of the most beautiful in South
Jersey and will be practical as well
as beautiful. It's need is imperative,
and its opening will predicate in
creased values on the Albany Ave
nue., West Atlantic City boulevard
This bridge is fitting link be-
tween the beautiful city-suburb to
the west and the new business cen
ter of Atlantic City on the east.
The bridge will open onto a Park
Plaza, faced by the newest and
most beautiful of Atlantic City
buildings.
Atlantic City's new $1,600,000
high school, the new S1,000,000
President Hotel, the new 100000
Masonic Temple, the new Neptune
Trust Co., the proposed s3,500,000
stadium, and the West Atlantic
City airport all center about this
newest bridge project.
Albany Avenue boulevard is fast
becoming the center of showrooms
of nationally associated automobile
dealers. The old type show room,
with grease guns and jacks decor
ating the windows, has been re-
placed by the beautiful modern
palaces such as the show room in
West Atlantic City of the Mathis
Motor Co. for Studebaker cars.
1t is fitting that such a beautiful
bridge should be built in this en-
vironment, and while there has
been no boom in West Atlantic
City, its present status being
reached from normal growth, some
thing very much like boom may
be expected in the near future.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1927-12-27

, in homes all over the country.
Many homes in West Atlantic City
have these new popular finishes.
Another trend in modern building
has added greatly to the popularity
of these rough finishes-the in
terest in homes built after one of
the period styles, the early English
cottage, the French cottage, the
New England or Dutch colonial, the
Spanish Or the Italian.
The discovery thai the originals
of each CT these period homes had
rough-textured wall finishes pecul-
lar to the country and period to
which they belonged proved that.
to be authentic, the modern copies
of these originals also required
rough wall finishes.
This demand for rough-teXtured
finishes has led TO the development.
of a number of mediums for the
production of the finishes.
Among the most satisfactory of
the mediums is plastic paint that
comes in a white powder form to
be mixed with cool water and color
ing matter on the job. This material
both the texture and the color in
single APPLICATION, if desired.
And it also offers wide range OF
possibilities through the use or
colored sand, glaze and similar
materials with it. Besides the wide
variety of finishes made possible
with this paint, the ease and rapid
ity with which it is applied and the
fact that, by glazing it, it can be
made washable with soap and
water are additional advantages.

SEVERAL NEW
EXHIBITS APPEAR

Growing Appreciation of Displays
BY Large Concerns. hW&
Probably the best evidence OF
Atlantic City's right to the title
Playground of the World" is the
growing demand of national adver-
Users for exhibit and advertising
space on the Boardwalk. Each sea-
son finds several such new exhibits
established unobtrusively, never
theless very effectively exploiting
some bit of merchandise or service
before the cosmopolitan throns
which daily promenades the
Boardwalk. National advertisers
are very insistent in their demands
that the advertising mediums,
which they use. have a national
distribution" Atlantic City, annual
ly the Mecca of millions of tourists
from every part of the United
states, satisfied that demand.
