and the boys and girls perform the
native dancesAand love to teach

and wear flowers in their hair to add
to the gayety. Artists come down
from the hills, and the plaza has
an open-air art show, where the

New Jersey
Offers Sea
And Lakes
State of Famed
Beaches Also
Has Uplands

TRENTON, N. j., June 17.-Na-
ture has endowed few States so
richly in vacation facilities as New
Jersey. Stretching from the rug
gedly beautiful hill country of North
Jersey to the vast reaches OF pine
forests in the southern end of the
State and along the entire 125 miles
of seacoast from Sandy Hook to
Cape May are to be found numer-
GUS spots ideal for development as
vacation lands. Some of these places
are familiar. even famous; others
scarcely known to the public, but
no less delightful.
Although Atlantic City, Asbury
Park, Wildwood and Cape May are
world d-famous beach resortsc the en-
tire New Jersey ocean front has
many spots with smooth beaches of
clean, white sand that are par
ticularly appealing. Atlantic City,
known as the playground of the
world is the mecca of millions each
year and its long boardwalk, with
piers jutting into the ocean, is
crowded particularly through the
summer months with pleasure-seek-
ing vacationists. It's fine boardwalk
hotels and those on the streets lead
ing to the beaches are able to ac-
commodate the myfiads of visitors
and each day brings a new group
into the city to attend a convention
or to spend some hours on the de-
lightful beach.

Ocean City, just below Atlantic
City, is the rendezvous of those who
seek rest and relaxation in a more
quiet spot: Wildwood's beach of
cleaning white sand is regarded as
one of the best along the coast,
while Cape May is one of the oldest
recreation centers in the country,
its advertising appearing as early as
1776. To the north will be found
Seaside Park, just over Barnegat
Bay from Toms River, and along
the stretch of coast north to Bay

Bay Head has many fine summer
homes and Point Pleasant, Just

mer and winter. Brielle and Man

Sea Girt is the summer training
ground for the New Jersey National
Guardsmen. However, there will be
little activity there this year due to
the fact that the National Guard

Red Caps Take
Wage Fight to
Uncle Samuel

WASHINGTON, Feb.-(CNA)-
The International Brotherhood of
Red Caps this week opened an
office here from which President
Willard Townsend of the union will
carry on the fight of service work
ers for full rights under the
Wages-Hour Law.
The Wages-Hour Division of the
Labor Department has before it
now the petition of the Brother
hood that Red Caps and other
service workers be paid the wages
prescribed by the act. The rail-
roads have urged an interpreta-
ton of the law which would CLASH
fly tips as wages. Such an interpre-
tation, according to Townsend,
would be a clear violation of the
intent of the law.
Tips are not considered adequate
compensation for three reasons:
1. Many passengers do not tip
Red Caps, assuming that they have
paid for this service when they
purchase transportation.
2. Tips do not provide an ade-
quate income to Red Caps any
where, and especially in the South,
where they run as low as two or
three dollars a week.
8. Since the passage of the
Wages-Hour Bill, tips have de-
creased for the reason that many
people think Red Caps are now on
salary.
Last fall, the Brotherhood won a
great victory when, through its eff
forts, Red Caps were classed as
employees of the railroads by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and thereby became eligible for
old age pensions. However, this
ruling was restricted to cities of
100000 or more population. The
Brotherhood is now using all of its
influence to have the ruling broad
ened to include every Red Cap in
the country.
