Predicts Good Resort Season “Civilian furlough*”, representing governmental recognition of the need for rest and recreation, will help bring New Jersey seashore resorts a record tourist sea«,n, W. Bruce Macnamee, chief ot the United States Travel Bureau, declared Friday night in an address at Atlantic City. Macnamee addressed more than 300 members and guests of the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce at ita 35th annual meeting Friday. He declared his statcmenU were based on long research by the Bureau and listed these factors as likely to improve resort business this summer: 1 The government, recognizing the need of rest for human units in its defense machinery, definitely will encourage vacation periods for recreation. 2. Long distance travel will be affected, but New Jersey's resorts lie in the heart of the nation s greatest metropolitan area. 3. Net income in cities throughout this area will be tremendously increased, assuring the resorts of visitors with money to * P 4 n<1 New Jersey has ideal recreational facilities to "revitalize and recondition” the industrial worker. Macnamee said that the nation was agreed that the victory program must take precedence over all else, but that governmental officials were convinced that facilities to travel and recreation must be maintained. Nations in the war for many years, he said, had found that too long hours and working under steady pressure served only to seriously curtail industrial output. , He said that the governments attitude had been summed up by an Army surgeon general in the statement: “A nation at war must see that its people have good food, healthy living conditions, and an opportunity for restful recreation." “Germany has consistently fostered recreational travel even to the extent of opening new tourist areas during the summer and fall of 1941,” he said. “The normal activities of seashore resorts should be continued, for they provide relaxation for a maximum number of visitors," the speaker said.

Principal refreshments will be cherry pies baked by a number of Cape May men. . . , . Among those who baked homemade cakes for the Valentine party last week were Mrs. Lehman Smith, Mrs. Earl Hollingsead, Mrs. Nathan T.- Folwell, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. James C. Hand, Mrs. Bessie T. Hazlett, Mrs. Edward Phillips, Mrs. Marjorie Repp, Mrs. Paul Snyder, Mrs. Edward Scarlett ten4 Mrs. Millard F. Ware.

“June Mad” To Be School Play “June Mad”, by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements, is the play selected for the annual high school show, which will be presented in April by students of Cape May High School. The play was suggested by the novel, “This Awful Age". Other novels by the same authors are “Mild Oats”, “Diana Laughs”, •'Shadows", “Fear of Fear” and “Blind Man's Buff ". Among their collection of short plays are “Ladies Alone", “Angels Don’t Marry”, and “All on a Summer'r

Day”.

This sparkling comedy of modern youth is that rare thing—a family play written simply, yet with both humor and insight, so that it has audience appeal for

all ages.

The story presents the problems vital to youth in an intelligent and sympathetic manner. It concerns Penny Wood and Chuck Harris, the boy next door, as they go about the frequently difficult, but always amusing busi-

ness of growing up.

When Penny’s Uncle Mervyn, only five years older than she, brings Roger VanVleck, a senior and a killer-diller, home from college, she forgets to be a manhater and succumbs to an attack

of calf love.

In her efforts to make herself attractive to the fascinating Roger, she almost disrupts two families, but the discovery that Roger is double-crossing Mervyn by trying to steal his girl brings her back to normal and incidentally

to Chuck.

0. 8. To Insure Fishing Boats _ sssman Elmer H. Wene today announced that the terms of the law providing Joe U. S. Maritime Commission insurance on American -vessels includes fishing boats such as are operated from resorts along the South Jersey seacoast and Delaware Bay. He pointed out that under ai t of Congress approved Juni _J, 1940, the Maritime Comm is sion was authorized to provide war risk insurance and re-insur-ance on American vessels insurance against loss 6f personal injury or detention of captains, officers and crews of American vessels, whenever it appears to the commission that such insurance adequate for the needs of water-borne commerce cannot be obtained on reasonable terms and conditions from companies authorized to do insurance, business in the United States. Recently the term “water-borne commerce" was held to include fishing vessels, Wene said. He pointed out the importance of this, due to the fact that many South Jersey fishermen are engaged in' an industry vital to defense, that of supplying food. “Accordingly," he said, "when owners of fishing vessels are unable to obtain such insurance at reasonable terms or conditions, the Maritime Commission is in a position to supply such need. I have been advised of the rules in connection with applications for

this service.”
