County Fishing Industry Ready To Meet Demand Cape May County’s $3,000,000 fishing industry is “able and willing’’ to step up^ts 1942 production by as much as 25 per cent if Unde Sam will give some kind of a guarantee to purchase heavier catches. Mayor George A. Redding, of North Wildwood, president of the Cold Spring Fisheries, largest commercial fishing enterprise in the county, made this statement in behalf of the industry in reply to Secretary of Agriculture Wickard's statement that more fish will be needed for food-for-Britain shipments and America's own de*

mands.

Cold Spring Fisheries packed and shipped more than 13,000,000 pounds of fish during the last year, and the combined output of all fisheries in the county is estimated at approximately 25,000,-

000 pounds.

The Bed Cross is deeply appreciative of the clothing donated by Cape May County citizens and of the help and cooperation received in aiding the survivors of this disaster. "To meet any future emergency, the Red Cross has suggested that every community in Cape May County set up an emergency closet, containing clothing enough to outfit 50 men. The American Legion and the Office of Civilian Defense have been asked to collect old clothing to equip these emergency closets. The Red Cross also urges each community to keep its first aid emergency closet well stocked with supplies,” Mrs. Mecleary said. Plans for disaster action are expected to be formulated by county Red Cross chapters at an institute tentatively scheduled to be held on February 14, Mr. Skilling said. Commenting on Cape May's part in the disaster relief work Sunday, Mr. Skilling said that the first carload of clothing for the shipwreck victims was on its way to Sea Isle City within 20 minutes from the time he received the first call. “Within half an hour from the time we received the call four carloads of clothing were on their way to Sea Isle City, and within four hours all the men had received complete outfits of clothing, had been bathed and had had their injuries treated,” Mr. Skill-
