July 13 at Atlantic City was the 

 greatest fishin? exploit ever achieved 

 Dy Isaac M. Bayersdorfer and Paul 

 Berkowitz. They caught so many fine 

 fish that the bait gave out and they 

 had to return in half a day instead 

 of staying out all day as planned. It 

 was a day to make up many times over 

 for other days when the fish would not 

 bite, and was highly enjoyed by both 

 these good sports and their friends. 



Edward Reid believes that progress- 

 ive methods will bring the Florists' 

 Club's usefulness to an even higher 

 level than in the past. 



Miss Faust, of Merion, has won fame
