County Resorts Termed Safest Vacation Spots Cape May County resorts today were termed as being locations of greater security tnan metropolitan areas, by Percy H. Jackson, director of public affairs of the Cape May County Board of Freeholders. Speaking of wartime safety of beach resorts, Director Jackson made reference to a recent address of Keith Ayling, a former British aviator. On duty in London during the all-out attack upon the British capital by Nazi raiders, Ayling emphasized the fact that Londoners took to their adjacent resorts for greater security. ENGLISH EXAMPLE Those cities suffered little from bombing, notwithstanding the fact that the attack planes were frequently overhead on their way to and from London. “It seems most logical,’’ Director Jackson continued, "that Cape M^fcounty reports will enjoy th^Rne or even greater mctivity.•because enemy bombersaiminfJPto attack large industnal establishments are seldom indulging in nuisance raids." Because of this fact, Jackson predicted that Cape May County will enjoy one of the best seasons in many years as was the case during the first World War. TRAFFIC TO CONTINUE Travel to local resorts will continue by automobile auring the summer, Jackson reiterated, after he obtained official figures from the Keystone Automobile Club on the activity of the Delaware River bridge over the Easter weekend. In 1941, 66,330 cars passed over the bridge on Easter Sunday, while this year, 68,994 used the same bridge to get to resorts. Although there appears to be a loss in travel in comparing the day of a year ago, Jackson said, that big figure of 58,994 stands

out.

EXPECTS HELP “We will continue to get motor traffic into Cape May County. In addition, plans are now being formulated to ease the gasoline shortage in the East. “We in Cape May County are optimistic over the future and we are going ahead with planning our program of various activities for the season. There will be no let-up in our efforts to entertain the visitors and vacationers on the Jersey Cape. This same spirit has continued for the last 250 years, for we in Cape May County will observe the 260th anniversary of the establishment of county government in November of this year,” he concluded. Many At Club Room Opening A large attendance was present at the grand opening <Sf the additional room at the Cape May USO Club Friday evening. The new room, formerly occupied by the Mayflower Lodge, No. 158, I.O.O.F., will be used as a gymnasium and social hall. Honored guests at the event were Captain and Mrs. H. B. Mecleary, Commander Paul C. Warner, Commander and Mrs. Edward Klein, Lieutenant Chaplain Cyril E. Bentley, Lieutenant Robert W. MacDonald representing Lieutenant George V. Beamon, battery commander of the Army unit stationed near here. Captain and Mrs. William Gourley, of the Salvation Army, who will be in charge of one of the USO centers in the East, Mrs. James C. Hand, Donald Lear and Mrs. George Walters, members of the USO Council. A well rounded entertainment program was presented by service men stationed at the Cape May Naval base and at the Army post in Woodbine. Coxswain Samuel Fries, of the Naval base, was the leader of the program,- and Private Charles Reading, of Woodbine, was master of ceremonies. The regular Saturday evening party under the auspices of the Cape May Defense Council was held at the club rooms, Saturday night. Doughnuts were served during tha-Wfeekend through the ggQBKgity of Brigadier Samuel r ~ Hepburn, divisional commander of the Salvation Army. Many visitors were at the USO Club on Sunday, visiting the stationed in this vicinity. A new motion picture machine for the club is scheduled to arrive in Cape May next week to add to the entertainment facili ties^ht the club quarters.
