The Pleasantville Branch of the

and the officers and members Of the
committee are anxious to enroll the
largest membership since war days
and in this way assist the Atlantic
City Chapter, of which Pleasant

of 10000 members allotted by the
American National Red Cross for
this year, in the effort to enroll a
National membership of 100000.
Since 1919 the Pleasantville Red
Cross Branch has maintained the
visiting nurse service, exclusive of
the nurses salary, provided by the
Freeholders in the County budget.
The expenses of rent, light, heat,
automobile and supplies have been
met through the unremitting efforts
of the nursing committee, a group
of faithful workers representative
Of the communities served by the
nurse.
Many will recall the unselfish and
faithful service given by these wo-
men and men during the strenuous
days of war, this spirit of service
still carries on in these days of
peace, without the urge of the en-
ergencies of war times, more diff
cult though it be to maintain en-

peace in 1927 than to keep up the
hectic pace of 1917.

HOtelmen Said To Be Almost
Unanimously In Favor of

HARRY BACHARACH
DEMANDS ACCOUNTING

Growing adverse sentiment which
threatens to develop into a definite
move to abolish the Atlantic City
beauty pageant was manifested at
two sources last night.
The Chamber of Commerce and
the Hoteimen's. Association, two of
the most powerful civic bodies in
the city and the most active in fur
thering the pageant idea, last night
exhibited a decided dampening in
their enthusiasm.
Julian A. Hillman, president of
the hotelmen's body, said that a
poll of the members showed an al
most unanimous sentiment that the
pageant should be abolished.
ut has outgrown its usefulness, y
Hillman said. ut has aroused a
great deal of criticism and it has
brought upon the city much oppro-
brium."
At meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, Harry Bacharach, a di-
rector and former mayor of Allan
tic City, attacked the loose" man
agement of the pageant and deman-
ded of Armand Nichols, director
general of the affair, an accounting
of the $4,000 appropriation made
by the city.
Bacharach urged that the pageant
be discontinued and that the city's
advertising be paid for through
newspaper space.
