Chemical Plant Social fasniA Ogjhs U)bbL

Construction To Start Soon

Pouring of concrete footings for buildings and tanks which will compose the million-dollar chemical plant along Delaware Bay is expected to start within the next two weeks as grading, clearing of land and levelling operations near completion, representatives of the Northwest Magnesite Com-

pany, which is building the huge chemical plant, disclosed today. Delays in grading have slowed the preliminary work slightly, it was said, but with materials for the construction of the 20-odd buildings which will make up the plant arriving almost daily, the plant construction is expected to be back on schedule shortly. Rushing Preparations Preliminary work of preparing the large tract of land for the construction of buildings is expected to be completed within the next 10 days. At present a crew of workmen varying in size from 15 to 40 are engaged in the preliminary work, and the sand dunes which formerly occupied the tract along Sunset Boulevard, near the Cape May Sand Company's plant along the bayshore, have been levelled. A construction road for trucks will be built through the large tract, with work to be started on that this week. At present materials arriving by truck must be unloaded and stored along the

highway.

First Cejnent Arrives A railroad siding has been completed to allow delivery of freight to the site of the new chemical plant, and material* arc arriving constantly. The first carload of cement arrived on Tuesday. The large chemical plant is expected to be completed and in opeAtion some time in July, according to present tentative construction schedules. When it is in operation, the plant will produce sintered magnesite, a product used in the manufacture of steel. The chemical will be extracted from the salt water of Delaware Bay and prepared for commercial use in the huge processing plant which will be constructed here. Although no date for the start of actual construction of tanks and buildings was indicated, company representatives said that approximately 125 men will be employed in the construction work. It is expected that construction of the various buildings, and the installation of huge intake and outfall pipes extending several hundred feet into Delaware Bay will require approximately four

months.

A WORD TO THE LADIES

SCHUMANN CORSET SHOP Wildwood There'll always be a corset And women won’t be free To bulge and curve and spread around From shoulder down to knee. We may not have elastic And stays may get quite rare, But Sisters Dear, you need not fear Your shape will still be there. Well cut them on the bias Well lace them front or back. Well try some new designing tricks, . ou won’t gat too slack. For cars can spare tljeir tires, More readily than you Can spare the tiling, that does the job Your corset’s made to do.

On Monday, February 16, at 2:30 the group will hear two lectures by Mrs. Hyatt, field representative for two-thirds of New Jersey, on “Home Service” and "Disaster". This meeting will be held at the Parish House of the Church of the Advent, Washington and Franklin streets, Gape May.

the electric service that powers practically every operation. But the power is always there —day and night — Sundays and holidays — 365 days a year. The electric industry was ready when the crisis came — ready to tum the eager wheels of almost every arms factory — ready to meet new needs with new construction. 1941 saw more than iV4 million extra horsepower installed — enough to light one-fourth of all the homes in the U. S. A.I

America’s electric companies have been able to accomplish this by good business management — by producing about % of the nation’s electric power and making it available almost anywhere, over carefully interconnected systems. We're glad we can make this report — and glad to pledge our unending effort to supply millions of Jims with all the electric power they need to make America POWERFUL!

EMERGENCY MESSAGE from the New Jersey Defense Council

"When you hear an Air-Raid Warning PONT TELEPHONE” (( f | I HE SYSTEM set up to spread air-raid X warnings and get reports back to defense centers depends upon the swiftness and flexibility of the telephone system. “A flood of civilian calls coming at such a time would tax telephone switchboards, perhaps to the point where vital communications would be seriously delayed or even blocked. “During an air-raid alarm, don't use your telephone. Don't call friends or family to see If they are safe. Don't call to tell them of your own safety or whereabouts. Don't call to report incidents; that is the responsibility of your air-raid warden. “Only the most urgent calls should be made during an air-raid warning and for some time after the ‘All Clear' signal Is sounded.” NEW JERSEY BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY
