On the Screen.
A literary journal in the East says
that Martha 0stens0's prize novel,
wild Geese, which was published
two years ago and since has been
translated into nine languages, is
about to be transplanted to the silver
screen. A. P. Younger will write
the scenario on the basis of the novel.
Miss 0stenso is a native of Norway
who came to the United States in her
teens, and in 1925 she won first prize
about $14,000-in a contest ar
ranged by New York magazine
which set out to find the very best
material submitted by writers who
up to that time had never published
anything in book form. Since then

Appearing before the Ocean

sounded out the Board on the prop
osition of building a concrete high
way from Seaside Heights to Bar
negat Inlet, with bridge across

way through Long Beach Island to
New Inlet, with a bridge across
this to Atlantic County.
This gigantic plan, probably the
greatest development ever propos-
ed for Ocean County, was given the
backing of the Board of Freehold
ers by unanimous consent. Sena-
tor Mathis stated that he had been
in consultation with a group of men
in New York who were ready and
willing to build both bridges at no
expense to the State or county If
it were found that either or both
were in any way interested in the
plan.

JERSEY BUILDING
MOTOR BRIDGES
Last Covered Span in State TO Be Replaced BY Forty
Roadway Trenton Camden Route

The New Jersey State Highway
] Commission has received bids
for the construction of new
bridge to replace the covered
bridae over Rancocas Creek at
Bridgeboro, on the Trenton-Camden
highway. The. Bridgeboro bridge
is the last covered bridge in the
State.
| Decision to replace the span with
bascule lift bridge $50 feet long
and with a 40-foot roadway ends a
long controversy. Bridgeboro bust
ness men opposed the new span be-
cause the commission had proposed
to shift the site of the bridge to
eliminate two dangerous curves on
each approach. At present the ap-
prOaches run through the center of
town and removal of the bridge,
it was felt would affect property
values. The new bridge will be built
at the same location as the old
bridge, but the curves will be
| modified.
Motorists have agitated for years
for replacement of the old span.
1t has been pointed to as relic
of an earlier age, when Walk your
horses" was the dominent slogan.
A new bridge has been greatly
needed there, as it lis one of the
main highways in the State.
South Jersey motorists have
| been actively interested in hear
| ings to erect two new toll bridges,
both privately financed, across the
Delaware river above Camden
Bridge. One of the bridges will con-
meet Tacony, in northeast Philadel-
phia, with Palmyra, N. j. This is
backed by the company operating
ferry between the two cities. 1t
will cost 100000. The other span
is financed by business men of
Bristol, Pa, and Burlington, N. j.,
which will be the terminals of the
bridge. It's cost is estimated at
$1,250,000.
Strenuous opposition to both of
these bridges was voiced at hear
ings before engineers of the War
Department, navigation and ship.
ping interests and the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association on
the ground that they will hinder
navigation. II was urged that the
new bridges be constructed with
Camden Bridge as standard. As
planned the new bridges will have

HOW TO SPEND

Just sc Will Bring Your Taste
Some Downright Smoking
Pleasure

Right off the bat, we want to say
that a good nickel smoke is hard
to believe in. No doubt you've been
disappointed time and again by SC
cigars that claimed to be worth
really more" Forget the past.
Here's one cigar that actually sold
at higher price for years! And
only because of the volume sales it
built up then, can we sell it now for
a nickel!
The name? It's HaUana Ribbon.
And it's real cigar, men, regard
less of price. The kind you'd pick
on smoking merit alone. It's so
fragrant and smooth and mellow
made OF ripe tobacco.
But prove it for yourself. Drop
in today at the nearest cigar store
and ask for Havana Ribbon. Toss
down a nickel and take one fresh
from the box. And just watch
yourself smile the first blue puff
you blow!

The picnic grounds were the
beautiful country estate of Mr.. Ed

placed for the ladies'. Croquet is
also a favorite game.

a County Aid road. The estimated
cost of the highway without bridges
would be around $1,500,000, it's
length 80 miles. 1t would open up
a territory on the north point of
beach for twenty miles, that is now
almost inaccessible, except at low
tide, when automobiles pillow down
the beach to Barnegat Inlet.
The matter of Ocean County f.
nancing it's share of the road would
have to be given very serious con-
sideration, it's share being around
100000, which would stretch its
borrowing capacity to the limit.
The subject of making it a State
highway and not State Aid road
was suggested by Freebooter APP
plegate to Senator Mathis, who re-
piled that he had tried to get the
State to take the stretch of land
last year as a State road, but that
it failed by very small majority.
The Freeholders were enthusiast
tic over the proposition, and urged
the Senator to take up the matter
with the Phipps Estate, which has
large holdings in the section af-
fected, and with the Ross Clayton
company, which aRo holds valua BILE
concessions on the stretch, in an
effort to get these two companies
to assist the county in financing it's
share. The Boroughs of Seaside
Heights and Seaside Park as well
as the other shore towns are all
favorable to the project and will
give it their official endorsement.
