Gleanings Caught Here and There in Mays Landing
Heavy Seas Nearly
Swamped Local Boats

BLACK Bottom and Miss Mays
Landing had rough return
VOYAGE after the races at Brigan-
tine on Saturday. Both speeders
came near being swamped by
heavy seas, and as it was both
were put out of business temper
arily and had TO be towed INTO
Ocean City for some oEerhaul,
ing before they could proceed
up the river.
Adam Price, of Parkerto"h,
builder of Black Bottom. had
driven the speedy craft IN the
races. and as he was on his way
back to the Great Egg Harbor
River, a big wave rose up IN
front of him and the vessel took
a nose dive through the compef.
Immediately the craft was
drenched and half-filled with
water and the motor put out OF
commission.
AS Hedges, driving Miss Mays
Landing, saw Prices plight, he
turned around to go to his ana
and struck a similar billow, with
tbe same result, and both of the
boats lay helpless on the sea.
An Ocean City man came TO
their rescue and towed the pair
into the mouth of Great Egg
Harbor Bay where things were
again put in shape for running
under their own power

Action Again
Postponed On
Parking Ban
Township Committee Hears
But One Complaint at
Meeting

!
With the Hamilton Township
Committee ready and willing to
hear the objections and sugges-
lions of the signefs of a petition
against the parking ordinance, but
one showed up at the meeting last
night, and action was deferred. A
special meeting was called for to-
morrow, Thursday evening. at Z
o'clock and all who. are interested
in the Main Street parking ban
are specially invited to be present
and they will be heard.
The committee members all eX-
pressed their desire to do what
would best serve the people, ana
they are perfectly willing to amend
the parking rules if those who
object will come out and voice
their objections so that the prob
lem can be fully discussed and
settled in way agreeable to all.
! There is no intent to interfere
with business nor to curtal the
/ privileges of anyone in this park
! ing ban, according to Chairman
Melvin NJ. Ripley, but from a stand
/ point of public safety parking can
not be allowed on both sides OF
Main Street for its full length
throughout the summer season. 1t
is believed that the construction
of the proposed cutoff around the
south end of the town will alleyl-
ate the situation by next summer,
but this year there must be some
regulation.
It is proposed to mark off spaces
on both sides of the street where
parking can be allowed for a
limited time. By staggering these
parking spaces far enough apart
SO that a double line of traffic can
go between, it is believed that the
problem can be satisfactorily
solved without interference to
business or inconvenience to any
one.
The committeeman were wiling
last night to take up such a
proposition, but it was thought
best 10 wait until ali the petitioners
could be brought together to talk
it over. Following the meeting,
some of the business men expressed
approval of such a plan and It IS
understood that they will 90 before
! the Committee on Thursday night
with measurements and a definite
layout for this method Of parking
John De Falco, the baker, was
the only one of the signers tt
appear at last nights meeting. He
said that others had told him they
were coming, but had failed tt
show up. Speaking for himself, Mr.
/ De Falco told how the parking
ban had cut into his business and
said he was willing to abide by any
reasonable rules, but felt that they
should be so made as to not take
business away from the loca
merchants.

thousand people gathered IN

to complete the exercises, ana
MOST of these appeared to be from

Highway Commission and started
New Jersey on it's gigantic pro-
gram of road paving. Calling for
three cheers for the Vice-Chancel-
Tor, the speaker was heartily re-
sponded to by the assemblage.
Commissioner Reeves expressed
the regrets of the other commits
<sioners in not being able to attend
the celebration, and showed how
they had been so engaged with
other calls for their presence at
various affairs that they could not
possibly get here.
ssAt the close of the Commits
sioner's address, the parade was
again formed and proceeded to
Egg Harbor. At that place, Com.
missioner Reeves again spoke, and
state Senator Emerson L. Richards
and former Judge Enoch A. Higbee
were also called upon.
Z Senator Richards spoke of the
work of the freeholders in proVid-
ing good roads throughout the
county and praised the state in
taking some of these roads over
and paving them. The Senator also
spoke of the future these paved
roads provide for any progressive
city and saiS there was no reason
why Egg r1arDor could not share
with Atlantic City in the prosperity
sof the future.

said that this was not a part OF

men feel that the price given was
to have covered complete install

orders made to cancel Township

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

It seems natural for a prospective
mother to worry. That just seems to
be part of the trials of motherhood.
If one could only make mothers un-
derstand that they cannot avoid the
unpleaSantnesses of ordinary life, or
escape it's worries, or be blind to it's
distasteful sights, and that none Of
| these things has any power to mar
the small souls that are in their keep
ing, mothers would have a much hap
pier time of it.
The following letter is a case in
point:
Mrs. S. +. L. writes: II expect you
will think this letter sounds foolish,
| but if / feel tired and drowsy after
having worked all morning and after
noon, and If l lie down for an hour
before dinner, will that make the
baby lazy and not ambitious when
grown? l am 38 years old and have
family of nine to work for. and ] do
my washing, ironing, baking and
churning and sewing, too, when
have enough energy after the work is
done. My health is and has been
good, but it seems as if I have no
pep.
"Would the baby be cross because
I have to listen to the boys next door,
2 and years old, cry from the minute
they get up until they go to bed at 8
o'clock"
AnSWer--It seems to me that you
have written a whole volume in your
short letter. Far from it making the
baby lazy and without ambition when
you take a short nap in the afternoon,
it is vitality important that you should.
You are doing the work of two per-
sons when you have to care for a
household Of nine persons, and some
one is being thoughless and negligent
to let you do it without help. Surely
in a household of this size there must
be some one who would do something
to tighten your labors. Most pro-
spective mothers want and need a
great deal more sleep than usual.
If you are cross after the baby is
born. because of your many duties
and the irritation of listening to cry
ing all day long, this might lead the
small baby to be cross, too, because
nervous, irritable mothers almost al
ways affect their babies in the same
way, just as adults answer GROSSLY
when spoken to in that manner. But
the things you hear or experience be-
fore the baby is born won't affect him
a particle. 1t is a blessed good thing
that this Is true, for what chance
would a poor baby have to get any
kind of a start at all if he were af-
fected by every experience which af-
fected his mother during nine long
months? These are old, WORKOUT the
cries which are held by no one who is
willing to be convinced by those who
know.
