THE LOWER BEACH WEEKLY THAT REACHES THE HOMES '*#•1 -tot** - : % '! -i-:i fi •j*?v =y -•> I 5> cm? sas^,; VE1MTNOR CITY. N. J.. JUNE 3, 1921 (Atlantic City, N. J- P. a) II PER YEAR Mayor BrcHman Deplores Fact That • City Fell Down ori' Its Erection. Favors Action Now. ’ During the festivities Of the May Dance given for the benefit of a me morial fund for the Jamies Harvey Post of this city, under the auspices of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Post, some one noticing Mayor Anior W. Brehman •in the audience, thought it more than appropriate that the Mayor should ad dress a few words to the large audi * . 'fr- t •: ence. ♦ . The people had just witnessed the little tots render their dance numbers in a very cj-editable manner, and were enthusiastic in their praise of what the little people had done, and the ‘Mayor’s words came as a thunder bolt from a clear sky, for while still en thralled in the visions of Fairy Land the Mayor took, it upon himself to bring them back to reality by his startling remarks that the city had failed to erect a memorial for the boys who served in the World War from pur city. The following is a Synopsis of his remarks: \ »••• • ) I;' "Members and friends of the Wo men’s Auxiliary of James Harvey Post, 144, and members and friends of the James Harvey Post, li4. I realize that many of you are here; for the purpose of dancing and enjoy ing some refreshments, but may I ask your permission for a few minutes to speak upon a subject that I consider of far greater importance. How. many persons knew or kriokf now for what purpose the proceeds of this dance are to be used. I am quite sure that if you don’t know, it will be an added pleasure to your evening’s entertain ment .when you do. - , .% ■■ v,. When we entered the war we wefe all enthused with patriotism; and as our boys sailed away I am quite sure they carried the following creed close to their hearts. ' ' We believe in the United States of America as a Government of- the peo • pie, by the people, for the people; • whose just powers are . derived from the consent of the governed; a democ racy in a Republic, a sovereign nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; establish ed upon those principles of freedom, /equality, Justice and humanity for [which American patriots sacrificed 1 their lives and fortunes, we therefore i believe, it is our duty to our country to love it, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag and to defend it against all enemies. I have not the time to go into de tails as to the hardships endured and the sacrifices marie by our boys, that ,i;; all a matter of history which every school hoy and girl should know As the war progressed, we were call ed upon to purchase Liberty'Bonds. Ventnor over-subscribed'her allotment for eacli issue; Ventnor also gave lib erally to all organizations who were doing their part ro help America win; "when the armistice was signed and the las! gun fired, there was great rejoic ing all over the Country because it meant the return of our beloved ones and plans were made and carried out for the reception of our boys when they Should again land on the soil of their own Country, It was tjren the cry went up all over the land, what can we do to show our Heroes that we appreciate the great {service they have rendered their Coun trv ? ' ■ -i' ' ' :«VT' { . -% In many cities, large and small tqwns and villages, memorials of var r ions kinds were given In honor of those who for love of Country accepted death and thus resolved ail doubts, and made immortal their patriotism ami their virtue. - At this point I-would like to state that only a few days ago there arrived in New York Harbor 5,000 bodies of American soldiers, and President Har s ding, witnessing this sad sight with tears in his eyes, prayed that $uch a thing may never happen again. On Monday, May 30, Decoration Day, there - win be 43,000 graves of American sol diers in France bedecked with flowers and American flags, and from our own City on that day Comrades will visit West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadel phia, and decorate the grave of James Harvey, who died in the service, and after whom our local Post is named. For those who returned alive, it meant that in America the war was over and all is peace, and God has £ granted them this sight of their coun try’s happiness, ere they slumber in the ' grave forever. He lias allowed them -f - *0 ijehold and to partake the reward of their pariotic toils, and He has al lowed us to meet them here and in the name of the present generation, in the name of their country, In the name of WILL TALK OVER CHURCH SITUATION Invitations Extended to Citizens to ■ ' v Meet Monday Evening and Express Views. is Mr. Poulson, t^fie new minister of the Congregational jChurch, has issued an invitation to tW church members and any others who are interested in the plans for a new Church building at Ventnor and Victoria avenues, to meet Doctor .Carroll neyt Monday evening at the parsonage over the "Little Church-on-the-C'orner” at Ventnor and Frankfort avenues. Mr. Poulson tells us that this is not in any sense a church meeting, nor is it intended to be other than an infor mal occasion for talking over what steps should be taken in the immedi ate future toward putting up a church building that will be a matter of civic pride and general service. If tentative plans are carried out, Ventnor will have a notable church building. The slogan seems to be, a church built for those who never at tend it: ___ __ .. GAME THIS AFTERNOOf^. 'The Seventh grade boys of the local school have a base ball team, and this • afternoon at 4,15 they will line up against the Ventnor Juniors, another local team that have not been defeated ,as yet,, on the lot at Buffalo avenue, and the Seventh grade boys think they are going to break the winning streak of the.

Atlantic City Couple First To Appear (Before, Mayor Brehman to Wed. Many, More To Follow. On Saturday afternoon Mayor Amor W.

Schandel, who came here thinking to escape any notoriety and annoyance by their friends. Members of the fire and police de partments quickly decided that this being the first occasion that the mayor has been asked, to act in this capacity, j it should be done up right, they, there- j fore made appropriate signs to be at tached to the"automobile, gathered to- j gether many tin cans, as well as other musical instruments to give the couple the proper send off. Bedlam reigned supreme when the couple left city hall as all the befls of. the fire apparatus were pulled with vigor by a capable custodian, and rice appeared from no where and was used very liberally. The^Mayor wishing to do the job in the proper manner, decided to use the councilmanic chamber, and believing that he should be treated the same as anyone else, went down into his pock ets and paid the two dollars necessary for the Use of the room. After the ceremony was performed the Mayor was presented with an en velope as his fee, but it was immed iately returned with his compliments as a present to the young bride. When the liberality of the mayor becomes known, those who contemplate matri mony are sure to keep the. mayor busy in this capacity. boyIStjews Dimon's Patrol Wins Attendance Con» test For Second Time—Scouts in Parade.

DO NOT FORGET TO TORN CLOCK AHEAD V ' -■ A':. -- Avoid Confusion By Adjusting The Time Pieces Before Retiring om -Saturday Night. 'r A resolution adopted at the last meeting of City 'Council puts Daylight Saving in effect at 1 a. m. Sunday in conformity with similar legislation passed in Philadelphia, Camden, At-' lantlc City and many other municipali ties, bringing about uniform time and thus saving the residents many incon veniences. The law becomes effective at 1 a. m. Sunday, June 5th, and in order to avoid confusion it will be wise to turn your clocks ahead Saturday evening before retiring. The daylight saving will remain op erative until September twenty-fifth. In passing the law locally the mem bers of council claimed that all the people must be considered and as long] as railroads as well as the many mu- ■ nicipalities had put the law into effect it would be unwise for this city not to do the same thing, not only for the lo-j cal people, but for the benefit of the many summer cottagers. ---i_■ Personal (T^at Mr. E.
