County Fishing Contest Opens Stressing a “recreation for victory" theme, Percy H. Jacksoij, Director of the Board of Freeholders, announced in the second of a series of advertisements appearing this week in the county press that the annual Cape May County fishing contest will enter its seventh season, “at a time .when it is more necessary than . ever before.” • . < . The contest opens May 1st and continues to October 1st, when a distinguished group of judges will award scores of handsome prizes and trophies to lucky anglers. Designed to stimulate interest in the excellent fishing offered down on the Jersey Cape, the contest has grown increasingly popular. Last year ipore than 2,500 persons vied for prizes. "Although there is yet no final word from the government, it appears,” said Mr. Jackson, “that properly registered boats and skippers, commercial and noncommercial will be permitted to go to sea, once they fulfill the necessary regulations. Many of last year’s contest winners made their catches from rowboats, off fishing piers and in the surf. \ m confident there will be as many, if not more, contestants this

year.”

The advertisement announcing continuation of the fishing test is one of a unique senes, reeled solely to native countians, in their role as hosts to hundreds of thousands of vacationists. They will appear over a period of two months and suggest everything from crushing false, rumors about the sinking of coastwise vessels to venturing the opinion that* week-day business may be so heavy as to equal week-end volumes of previous seasons, due to the stagger system of idle days for many defense workers. Cape May County is believed to be the only resort countyabrig

-fully planned advertising program to stimulate war-time optimism on the home business front. WPA Is Cut To War Essentials . Elimination of every WPA service activity not essential to tne prosecution of the war is proceeding rapidly under a reorganization of the Service Division, State WPA Administrator Robert

W. Allan said today.

Under the plan all operating activities of the Research and Records' Section and the l uolic Activities Section were consolidated into a War Services Section. The new secUon will consist of an amalgamated statewide program for manifold war services and certified nationwide de-

fense programs.

“The objective of the War Services Section,” Allan said, ‘ is to assist in work essential to war activities of military establishments and all other public agencies responsible for war work. AU activities of the program must contribute an unqualified and essential effort in war services. ’ Also created in the reorganization is a Defense Health and Welfare Services Section, under which health and welfare projects such as housekeeping aide, sewing, school lunch and surplus commodities distribution are con-

solidated.

"This section,"/Allan said, "will inter-relate WPA health and welfare activities iti such a manner as to. provide maximum benefits for the community as a whole.” WPA health and welfare activities which arc ah/asset now and “which will become priceless in event of eragrgency such as an air raid," Allah said, are being reorganized, expanded or streamlined to assure maximum service to an emergency-stricken people.

Telephone engineers call this “icrong number in mind'’ . . . and it causes 35,000 tcrong connections every day in IS etc Jersey. A wrong number ficcms like a little thing ... until you multiply it by 35.000, and add in the repeat calls needed to do the work of the original call#. . Guarding against "wrong numbers in mind" would mean a real saving—for the callers, for those they call in error, in switchboard operating time, and in use of telephone equipment now so vital to the nation's war effort.
