Pop let us sleep late this morning so as a result it was after ten when we got started. In fact it was twenty five to eleven. All these far Eastern cities seem to have daylight saving. There was so much traffic on the road that it was almost one when we got there. We had to be back in Vineland at two so we dashed out and got some sandwiches and had our lunch en route. When we got there the program had already started. Nash, the man that showed us around yesterday wasn’t there but Mr. Johnston the director took us in hand. After the program he took us thru the school house and dairy. Pop and Mr. Nash talked so long that it was five before we got started back. It was six when we got back to Atlantic City (we had located a hotel our first trip) so we didn’t go swimming. Instead we started up the board walk. Lt. Cole certainly knew what he was talking about when he called it New Jerusalem. I never saw so many Jews in all my life. We wandered around until seven then went to a Hippodrome on one of the piers. We stopped at a Cluilds (sic) on the way home for something to eat.
I think "Cluild's" might have been Child's, one of this country's earliest restaurant chains. They began in NYC and reached their hayday in the 20s with 125 restaurants. Most of their locations were in New York, but there was also one in Wash, DC and on Tennessee Ave. in Atlantic City, NJ.
