County Highway Accident Toil Drops Slightly

Nine live* were lost in automobile accidents in Cape May County during 1941, a reduction of two below the 1940 fatality figure, Motor Vehicle Commissioner Arthur W. Magee reported this

week.

For the second successive year, Cape May County had the second lowest accident death ton in the state, despite the heavy influx of traffic in this "county during the summer vacation season. Only Sussex County had fewer accident deaths in 1941 and 1940. Last year Sussex had six fatalities, and in 1940 it had eight. A total of 971 persons were killed in New Jersey highway accidents last year. Nearly half of them were pedestrians. Commissioner Magee said that the total traffic toll was 60 more than that of the previous year, an increase of 6.5 per cent, whereas the national increase was twice this figure. “From a statistical standpoint. New Jersey did remarkably well in keeping below 1000 deaths,’ said the Commissioner, “but from a practical view the loss of 971 lives is entirely too many. "There were more cars registered, more drivers licensed and more miles traveled than any other year in the state's history. “Add to this the unusual hazards created by the war activity and it made a perfect setting for a record-breaking highway slaughter. Yet deaths, according to present-day standards were kept within reasonable bounds. “New Jersey drivers, as a class, are to be complimented for their fine response to the highway safety program. If the same degree of safety consciousness can be instilled in pedestrians, who made up 48.7 per cent of the year’s fatalities, highway mortality can be reduced to the same degree that industry has achieved through the application of safety methods.” Accidents of unusual severity helped to push the 1941 toll above the previous year's record. Bergen County was hit exceptionally hard in this respect with an eight-death accident, a fourdeath accident and a three-death accident. In all, there were 40 two-death accidents in the state, ~18 three-death accidents, two four-death accidents and one sight-death accident Atlantic and Morris led the counties reporting the greatest numerical increases in deaths. Atlantic's 51 deaths was an increase of 20 while Morris jumped from 82 to 51. Essex County reported the best numerical decrease Vith 109, a reduction of 13 from the previous year. Ocean and Warren Counties each lowered their tolls by nine deaths.

Is contemplate “Any rumor or intimation that the government is planning to confiscate savings accounts is unfounded and is injurious to the morale of the community and the nation,” he said. "The Secretary of the Treasury strongly denied it. Said the Secretary, i wish to state most emphatically that there arc no foundations whatever for such rumors. The federal government does not have under consideration any proposal involving the confiscation of savings deposits of this country for any purpose. Furthermore, any one circulating rumors of this character is acting against the welfare of the nation.’ “In this national crisis,” stated Mr. Williams, “it is imperative that we guard: ourselves against any propaganda that tends to inject fear of the sort that such rumors may engender. “To help curb inflation, it ia essential," added Mr. Williams, “that every receiver of income £ uts part of his or her current icome into Defense .Savings Bonds. This will have two great benefits—first, it will help us to win the war and, second, it will enable buyers of these bonds to •ave money for the future.”

Gulls

; To Meet Two Teans This Week

impot _ games fill the weekend hockey calendar in the Atlantic City Auditorium, with the Jersey SI ers of River Vale there on day night and the Washington Eagles on Saturday. There has never been any love lost between the Skeeters and the Gulls, and the Eagles and the Gulls and with all three fighting for berths in the championship playoffs, the games should provide plenty of action. The Gulls served notice that they’re going to be in there punching from now on when they played heads-up hockey against Boston and battered down the Baltimore Orioles, 6-2. last Saturday. Both games will be preceded by fast preliminaries at 7:30 with , starting at 9^

A timely First Aid demonstra5n was given under the direction Red Cross Nurse Marjorie Cooper, of Wildwood. The demonstration was given by the Cheerful Workers Club and Our Gang Club of Cape May Court House. Henry H. White, county agricultural agent, gave an illustrated lecture on “Farming in Cape May County" in which he encouraged the boys and girls to consider the possibility of agriculture in Cape May County. F. A. Raymaley, county agri--ultural agent from Cumberland County, showed colored slides on ‘’arm Life in Nebraska”. The day ended with a half-hour recreation period directed by Daniel J. Ricker, county school superintendent. The picturesque name tags which the children received were tainted by the Sunshine 4-H Club of Cape May Court House.

New Corporal At Co. State Police Post

Corporal J. H. Westphalen, commanding officer of the Cape May County State Police barracks, has been transferred to Trenton, where he will be in charge of a training class. The transfer took place last Tuesday. To replace Corporal Westphalen, who had been in this county for two years, Corporal William Neiland, of Absecon, assumed command of the county barracks. Trooper Charles Gueridn, who has been at the Court House station for four months, was transferred last week to the Berlin station. No one has been mimed to replace him.

too: Amsbry Mitchi Meyer Levine, Philip Rock, Marie Louise Jones, and Mrs. Peggy Eastwold. The play will continue through Saturday. The bill for next week is three short but very merry comedies entitled respectively “A Marriage Proposal”, "Three’s A Crowd”, and “Fireman, Save My Child.” The first is a rollicking Russian comedy by the great dramatist Anton Chekhov who wrote “The Cherry Orchard”, “The Sea Gull,” “Uncle Vanya” and other famous and successful studies of charac-

ter and life.

"Threes a crowd” is a modern American comedy of young people, while the last play on the program will be a good example of the old-fashioned melodrama, where the audience—if it so desires—may hiss the black-mus-tached villain and sigh with the

Appointment of David W. B. Haining as manager of the South Jersey WPA branch was announced Thursday by State WPA Administrator Robert W. Allan. Haining began his new duties on

Spencer On West Coast Army Duty

brave hero.

Last week saw an interesting and fast-moving production of the mystery - comedy ‘“Three Live Ghosts”. Although some in the audiences had seen this before, the unanimous opinion was that the production was more than satisfactory. Philip Earle maintained the reputation he built up the preceding week that he is an excellent director and actor. His portrayal of the Cockney was especially realistic. William Hughes was a funny Spoofy in the best part in the play. Gene Lyons, changing from his almost farcical role in "The Family Upstairs,” had the only really romantic part In the show and handled it with

quiet but sustained feeling. Vir- currei ginia Daly had perhaps the long- Thf -

est part in the play and did a remarkable job of characterizing ihe difficult Cockney, Mrs. Grubbins. Miriam was an appealing heroine and Deloris Hudson capabily filled the part of Mrs. Grub-

bins’ neighbor.

Sam Freas, of the Navy, though he had to miss many of the rehearsals, gave a very strong performance as Deputy-Inspector Briggs, being alternately the clever, insidious policeman trying to I entrap the supposed criminals, and then again the dominant, I shouting cop who was determined to browbeat the truth out of the

gang.

Others appearing in smaller roles but acting with satisfaction for - all were Amsbry Mitchell Brooks, Dorothy Reeves, and John J. Cunningham. Interest in making at least the winter season of the Cape Theatre as near a community theatre as possible was increased the past week by the fact that a large number of Cape May people volunteered to assist-in the productions either as actors or in other capacities. Among those volunteering are: Mrs. Marie Pitts, Mrs. Gladys Brownell, Mrs. Robert Jones, Philip Rock, Mrs. William Whitehead, Joan Reddy, Amsbry Mitchell Brooks, John J. Cunningham, Sam Freas, of the Navy, Meyer Levine, of the service group at Cape May Point, Stephanie Doherty, Edna LeamHand, Dorothy

Haining is well known in Cape May County where he superviaed VVPA£rojects for several years.
