I visited the Shark River Coast Guard Station and had the honor ot meeting Chief Boatswain's Mate M. M. Hymer who, with his crew of four men, picked up 96 living persons from the sea and towed 70 more in other boats, to safety. Their 26-ft. self-bailing surfboat was the first on the scene.

Harry Whinna Nice of Baltimore gave mute, inglorious Senator Phillips Lee Goldsborough a two-to-one trouncing for the Republican right to oppose Governor...
...most exciting in 20 years. East then challenged West to a return match. Last week, after a summer in which horse vans carrying ponies from one practice field to another have done more than their share of traffic-blocking on the narrow roads of Long Island's North Shore, both sides picked their teams...
