Red Cross War Fund Growing Contribution* to Cape May’* Red Cross war relief- quota of g >00 continue to mount slowly, . Edward E. Pickard, chairman •f the drive, announced today. Total collections to date now amount to *1171.86, with a balance of S428A4 to raise. "Daring the past week one more district reported reaching its quota—that of Mrs. H. P. Entrikin,” Dr. Pickard said. “Two districts are yet to be heard from. A *25 contribution from George W. Edward, of Philadelphia, a Cape May summer resident, was received this week as a result of an editorial in last week’s Star and Wave. “Several other contributions of five dollars or more were received during the week. "Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Skilling sent in a check for *50 which was a welcome addition to our funds. It was especially appreciated because the campaign committee is fully aware of the many other Red Cross activities and expenses which fall on the shoulders of Mr. Skilling. “Mrs. George Curtis, Sr. added her check of five dollars to the growing total but we’ve still a long way to go before reaching our goal. Total contributions to date are as follows: Less than *1 donations, *23,86; one dollar contributions, *214; two dollar contributions, *224; three dollar contributions, *18; four dollar contributions, *12; five dollar contributions, *160; *10 contributions, *100; *15 contributions, *16; *25 contributions, *176; *30 contributions,' - *30; *50 contributions, *200. “From the figures it is evident that there are many residents of Cape May who have not yet made their contributions to the war relief fund,” Dr. Pickard said. “If a worker has failed to contact you it is suggested that you mail your contribution to the chairman of the war relief drive now. Don’t delay. We’ve a job on our hands which must be done.”

Ask More Time For Report The commission created recently by the New Jersey Legislature to study revision of New Jersey’s Constitution submitted a C gress report on Saturday as ator Robert C. Hendrickson, Gloucester County Republican, its chairman, announced he would move to extend the group 1 ! ficial existence until April 1 February J was the deadline for the commission’s final report under the original legislation. Hendrickson said he had prepared a measure for action this week to give the commission two additional months in which to com-

plete its study.

"I am certain we can do s creditable job by April 1,” Hen-

drickson said.

A proposal under consideration calls for biennial rather than annual sessions of the .New Jersey Legislature, with Assemblymen serving two years instead of one, and Senators serving four years

manager and properties.

T. C. Upham, director of the theatre, has announced that Hie second production will be the internationally famous mysterycomedy, “Three Live Ghosts’. This play came out of the experiences in the world war of 1914-1918 wid convulsed Europe and America with amusement during the early 1920’s. It ran a year in New York, and it was a great stock bill for many years. It is very timely just now and probably just as amusing as it always was. Mr. Upham also announced this week that a percentage of the box office receipts will be donated to the Red Cross or to some

other service organization.

Among the well-wishers of the winter theatre movement is Mayor T. Millet Hand, who expressed the hope that the winter season of the theatre will be successful.

As a united nation began an all-out effort to bring the war to a speedy and victorious conclusion, Republican leaders, both national and state, emphasized the necessity and responsibility of maintaining a strong, vigorous and loyal opposition party dedicated to the task ahead. ■National Chairman Joseph W. Martin declared: “It has been repeatedly asked if unity in the war effort means the 1942 elections will be set aside and the two-party system

abandoned.

"The answer is NO. The Constitution requires Congressional elections to be held every two years. We cannot as a nation set aside these elections without amending the Constitution. If we dispensed with the elections we would be discontinuing ounsAmerican form of government. Once discontinued it might bo impossible to restore. It must liot be forgotten that the war

'The Republican party will support President Roosevelt to a man in thfc war effort, but it expects Senatorial Congressional and state elections to be held next year and it will fight to win." State Chairman H. Alexander Smith declared: ‘While we are wholeheartedly and without reservation behind the breathtaking all-out war program just announced by the President, we are aware that the carrying out of this program means a drastic change in the lives of all of us and a rededication of both ourselves and our resources. “A minority party as the 'loyal opposition’ under our time-hon-ored two-party system is never more needed than at such a time of national crisis. Our job'is not to block and hinder in a negative way, but rather to make a positive contribution by an ever vigilant insistence on efficiency for full productivity and economy with honest administration.
