filled with returning Summer sojourn-
ers, among whom are leaders of the
political and military life of the

formed near the north and south bath
ing groups, leaving a long, gradually

locations. The sand beach, the entire

west winds, and the erection of a
group of de luxe cabanas is being
considered

Notwithstanding the modernity Of
It's boardwalk, beach-front amuse-
ments and fine hotels, Ocean Grove is,
in atmosphere, much of the Methodist
camp meeting resort that was es-
tablished on the shore some rs years
ago by churchmen from New York
and Philadelphia who came to the
beach each Summer.
The annual camp meetings in the
great auditorium, seating 10000 per-

vivid reminder of the resorts begin
