"Do Not Feed"

On exhibit last week at Atlantic City's Million Dollar Pier, between an educated chimpanzee and a hermaphrodite, was an educated politician. Behind a glass door marked MAYOR was His Honor Harry Bacharach. It was not long before a local wag attached to the door another sign: PLEASE DO NOT FEED.

Atlantic City's wise and popular chief executive, who has served his city steadily since 1911, had plausible reason for taking up his quarters among the freaks. It now costs 25-c- to see him. "I moved in to get away from job-hunters and favor-seekers," explained Mayor Bacharach. "I'm hoping the admission fee will keep them away." Many a citizen, though, guessed His Honor's prank was designed to get a little summer publicity for Atlantic City.

When Harry Bacharach, no fool at politics, returned from a trip to Europe threeyears ago, 650 of his friends and constituents chartered a ferryboat to meet him. Two thousand more were waiting at Atlantic City, where his political prowess and good works (his family founded a home for crippled children) have endeared him to one & all.
