JACKSON PREDICTS GOOD SEASON FOR COUNTY RESORTS

Experience Of South Cited As Criterion COURT HOUSE — Confidence that Cape May County resorts . will have large crowds of summer visitors during the approaching season was expressed late last week by Percy H. Jackson, director of the Board of Freeholders and director of the county’s ad- -»■ vertising and publicity depart-

ment.

' "fVoni all* indications I believe that Cape May County resort communities can anticipate 4 moderately good season this aummer," Jackson said. "I base this on reports received from the •outhem resorts this winter and such activity as has been shown in the county in very recent weeks in spite of the abnormally • cool weather. “In the face of all the efforts of the freshman bureaucracy to regulate our daily lives there is increasing evidence that the men • at the top, those who really know how workers react to long, steady _ grinds without relaxation, are talking about the necessity of time out during the summer to keep workers from going stale," the Director added. “Glenn W. Martin, well known war industrialist, speaking before the Outdoor Writer’s Association of America, declared that if he could have his way every worker . on the production line would be forced to spend some time in the outdoors where they can best re- '« charge aheir mental and bodily batteries. He also charged that much of the present-day absenteeism is directly due to a failure of mental and physical energies brought on by too many days • spent on the job without the proper rest. "Mr. Martin said thaf-Congress and the war machinery had not yet learned this lesson but must speedily do so if they are to nee our manpower geared up for full production over the long period stretching ahead. “Robert Wilder, writing in his column ‘Travel Talk’ said in part. “ ‘We know that winter travel was in a state of confusion principally because no one in authority cared to make a clear-cut issue of the matter of transportation. Hints were dropped that civilians curtail their travel, but no actual ban was issued. As a result the southern resorts had a fair share of winter tourist business. It is probable that no order limiting summer travel will be issued and the public will discover that none will be necessary. ; Difficulties in securing reserva-1 tions for long trips will auto- ; matically force them to turn to places nearer home . . “Mr. Wilder goes on to say that it is his opinion that summer vacations will be taken close to home. It is this last statement I that should encourage and inter- j est Cape Mav Countv. “With five million people within not more than a 100 mile radius of our county, all working at top speed and employed at big , wages, some rest and recreation will be essential to keep them ! from goine stale and so they can build bodily reserves for the I strenuous winter ahead. We are the ‘close to home' vacationland and in^my opinion they will find I , ways and means to come here. ! Our greatest headache is to care | for them after they are here. | “Yes, indeed, I believe that Cape May County will be stepping up health production this summer,” Director Jackson concluded. . |

this vital subject.' 1
