E. Wooden, Baltimore accountant re-
tanned by the county, that an audit

to report on a survey he has made
of the State accounts. He said he

Codd would not assume responsible
ty for accuracy of accounts prior to
his assumption of office in 1929.
Approximately $4,000 of the
overdraft is represented by bills for
work done prior to 1929, which led
Wooden to believe that only by an
audit of these records could the coun-
ty satisfy itself as to the extent TO
which it is indebted to the State.
The commissioners recommended
six candidates for appointment to
two positions on the county welfare
board made vacant by expiration Of
the terms of DR.. Dexter M. Billiard.

ROTTERDAM, April 4.-Tourists
visiting Holland during Easter will
wonder if they have the season and
their dates correct. Throughout the
land the joyous blaze of bonfires will
string hamlets and villages together
into a great garland of festivity.
The Easter palm will be no other
than a sturdy fir sapling brought in
from the woods and dragged to the
village. where every inhabitant tries
to touch one of its branches in the
ancient belief that here is the tree
of life" whose vivifying strength en-
ters those who touch its growing ex-
tremities. The tree is left by the viii
lage chuch, where it remains until
after the Easter service. With the
whole village looking on it is erected
amid a vast pile of fagots.
Feasting is INDUCED in; thickly but
tered current bread. cakes, hard-boiled
eggs and fruits, attended with deco
rations of ribbons and paper stream
ers. At the last ninute huge barrel
of tar is hoisted to the top of the
tree and when night falls suddenly
the bonfire blazes forth, and in its
reddish glow the people sing Halle
luyah" for the JOY at the resurrection

points out, not one which means des-
ignating the visitors first and second

to the section that has more appeal to
their particular tastes. and the mental
hazards to full enjoyment in a cosmo-
politan crowd would be removed.
Mayor White sums it up this way:
when groups come here with such
extremely varying tastes. some seek

celebrating a holiday. it is absurd to
have them trampi1g on each others

~ ONE people 60 on vacations Or
dained to active hilarity, others
with ability to take their fun
- with little tumult and shouting.
and still others with a desire to sit
restfully and think, perhaps just sit.
When these schools of vacation
thought choose the same resort, the
problem of keeping the more boisterous
from treading on the mental and
physical toes of the calm-and visa
versa1arises. For years, this perplex-
ity has existed, and now Atlantic City
proposes to do something about it.
With its famous bathing beach. ex-
tensive sport facilities, its kinship to
Coney Island and varied social events.
the Baghdad by the Sea naturally
draws ever-on -the-move vacationists.
They swirl by with swish before the
old-time patrons, who yearly return
and have slipped. gradually more
readily, into a Boardwalk chair and a
philosophy of contentment. They,
above all others, hear the slam OF the
door and the yell of that type Of vaca-
zionist who is so bent on hurriedly
drinking his fill of recreation that he
has not the time-nor, for that matter,
the training-for the nicer manners
of the vacation family.
CHARLES D. WHITE, Atlantic City's
~ mayor and veteran hotel man and
banker, has for the past few months
been holding conferences on an am
bilious plan which would, by segregat-
ing attractions, permit visitors of dif-
ferent tastes to gravitate to separate
sections of the resort for their fun.
He would. for one thing, create an
exclusive cabana colony in one section
of the beach adjacent to the finer
residential area. For the one-day ex-
cursionist and those seeking less ex-
penSive diversions. he would build
apart a series of recreational centers
having an atmosphere of Coney Island.
Included In tentative plans are an
entertainment casino and a race track,

pari-mutuel betting by the Jersey
Legislature.
