Army And Navy Teams Primed For Contest

With enthusiasm running high In anticipation of the coming clash between the Army and Navy basketball teams, a capacity gallery of spectators is expected to witness the basketball classic of the season which will be played Saturday night at the High School gymnasium as a benefit for the Cape May Red Cross war relief fund. Teams composed of former professional, intercollegiate and scholastic court stars, representing both the Navy and the Army, will take the floor at 8:30 Saturday evening to give Cape May basketball fans what is expected to be the best game local rooters have ever seen here. In addition to the basketball contest, which promises to be an outstanding sports event, there will be dancing and an entertainment, according to members of the committee arranging the

event

Both teams have built up impressive records since their formation recently. The Navy Torpedoes and the Army Big Guns, representing units of both branches of the service stationed in this vicinity, are expected to do battle in a big way ... the Navy te fighting to avenge a defeat the hands of the Big Guns, and the Army squad fighting to retain its leadership. All-out support of the benefit game is expected by the committee which is arranging the game and by the Red Cross War Relief Fund committee, which will receive all proceeds from the contest. , School students, faculty bers and employees arc donating their services to act as officials of the game and to take charge of the gymnasium for the event. Officials Oppose New Bill To Tax Bonds Cape May's city commission on Friday adopted a resolution protesting a proposed Congressional measure designed to place municipal bond issues in the category of taxable securities. At present, municipal bonds are tax exempt. Complying with a suggestion circulated recently by the Cape May County League of Municipalities, the commission joined the majority of Cape May County local governing bodies in adding its objections to the measure. In commenting on the city’s protest, the commission said that the proposed change would make municipal bonds less attractive to investors and would increase the difficulty of disposing of them at reasonable rates of interest. Other county municipalities have recently registered similar protests with the Senators and Congressman representing this district" in Washington.

Capers Bow To Wildwood Five After playing an impressive three-quarters of the game, the tiring Cape May squad gave way to the Wildwood Maroons, bowing under a ^ r -24 score in favor of the Five Mile Beach team. Score at quarter-time was 5-6, and at half 16-11 in favor of Wildwood. The Wildwood lads were still leading at the third quarter with a 24-19 score. The Capers slowed up and went behind on successive sinkers in the final frame, and Wildwood took the game with a 14-point

margin.

Francisconi and Cooper- racked up 10 and eight respectively for Cape May. Smith had two peachi for four points. Box scores: Cape May—24

Qaausa QnAbwdtwnA On UJaifA Jo Combat Qnauutuuuf Bombs

Detailed instructions on combatting incendiary bombs were iqsued this week by Police Chief John J. Spencer- Jr, chairman of Cape May’s Civil Defense Council. Spencer recently attended an F. B. I. defense school in Atlantic City where the subject was stres-

sed.

“Cloth bags are even more desir-

able than buckets for containing part of the sand which should be kept in all homes to combat incendiaries,” Spencer said. “However, there should be at least one bucket filled with sand and available in

each household along with

two medium sixed cloth or burlap bags filled with sand. A shovel should also be made available, pre-

ferably the long handled type. "Persons are warned that sand

will not stop the burning action of an incendiary bomb, but will tend to keep it from spreading a fire until the help of fire fighting units

can be obtained.

“The most effective incendiary bomb so far used by the Axis forces is known as the magnesium bomb weighing about two and two-tenths pounds and measuring about 14 inches. The body of the bomb itself is nine inches long with a tapering end of five inches, which is outfitted with four fins which act as guides to keep the bomb upright in flight,” Spencer

id.

"The body of the bomb is made of magnesium and is two inches in diameter and on coming in contact with the ground or a building a firing pin sets off a percussion cap, which in turn sets off a charge of black powder, setting fire to a charge of thermite which bums at the terrific heat of 4,500 degrees ’This themite in turn sets fire to the one-inch core of the bomb which contains finely ground aluminum, iron oxide and flake magnesium which bums fit 2,800 degrees, and then the almost pure magnesium body of the bomb itself starts to bum at the same heat. 'If not quickly quenched the bomb will bum through floors, setting fires in floors below and the flying particles of the burning thermite and magnesium set fire to surrounding walls, furniture or draperies," Spencer continued. “Quick action is needed in all wh^re these bombs fall on to

or into buildings and a sand covering will tend to squelch the burning until the bomb itself can be shoveled up and taken from the building. "Water sprayed on the bomb will tend to spend its burning and is the only recommended way of taking care of the bombs in case they are not removed from the building. Spray on the water but under no circumstances put a jet of water on one for this causes explosion when the oxygen i_ mediately leaves the water in the form of steam and the nitrogen left acts as a powerful explosive spreading the particles of the burning thermite or magnesium around the premises. “Nevgr use a fire bomb or car-bon-tetrachloride extinguisher on an incendiary bomb as this liquid upon striking the boring metal immediately forms phosgene gas which is deadly,” he warned. "Never throw the contents of a bucket of water upon an incendiary bomb for an explosion is sure to result, spreading fire from 20 to 60 feet from the bomb. “Any soda-acid extinguisher can be used on a bomb but the finger or thumb must be held over the nozzle to form a spray of water expelled so that no solid jet will strike the bomb. Use a jet of water on the burning parts of a room to keep down fires until help arrives and then go back to spraying the bomb itself. "A garden hose used as a spray is a fine thing to use, "but the danger of the water supply being shut off in case of broken mains during raids may make this use impossible. "The foot pump actuated fire fighting appliances which can be obtained and used with a bucket of water have proved the most efficient of any yet used in the cities of Europe. These are used in an open bucket of water and the buckets in turn kept filled by aide, but the work of three persons is usually needed for this as one has to use the spray- one the pump and one to keep the water supply moving. “Incendiary bombs burn from 10 to 20 minutes but the spraying of water on them cuts the burning ‘ to about half the usual length. “If possible a bomb should
