(Continned from Pa*e Ono) are needed to fill posts so that territories assigned to wardens trill not be too large to cover thoroughly. Men or women who desire to volunteer should send their names to Chairman Spencer

at city hall.

Instructions in first aid and other pertinent subjects will be given. The first aid course is for 10 hours, a special course designed by the Office of Civilian Defense for wardens and other volunteers. Two sound motion , pictures, "Fighting the Fire Bombs” and “The Warning”, will be shown for the benefit of 'all volunteer defense groups at the high school next Thursday evening at 8 o’clock, and will also be shown to all school classes in the high school at the Friday afternoon

assembly next week.

Air raid instruction posters published by the New Jersey Defense Council for distribution to each home have been received and will be distributed by air raid wardens to each householder in the city, Spencer said. Householders must sign receipt cards and the posters must be placed on the kitchen wall nearest to the dining or living room and be kept

War time restrictions will have little or no effect upon fishing in the Cape May area, according to information obtained this week from Captain A. E. Coffin, U.S. C.G., captain of the Port of Philadelphia which includes this area. Only minor changes have been made since rules were set down March 6 for the Fourth Naval

district.

As few restrictions as possible ill be placed in the way of charter and party boat captains who make their living taking out fishermen. Such boats, when ttiey have been examined for seawAhiness and have been grantjf a license to operate, may go outside from daylight to dark only; they must report to the nearest Coast Guard unit when going out

and upon their return.

Each captain, when applying r a license, must state in what area and how far outside he expects to fish and must stay in that area or be looked upon with

suspicion.

The owner, operator and crew members aboard charter and party boats must have personal identification cards which are issued

by the captains of the port. Guests do not require any identification cards, but the boat captain is responsible for their behavior while they are on his boat No enemy aliens are allowed on

the boats.

There will be few restrictions on fishing in Delaware Bay. The Coast Guard will do everything it can to help commercial owners carry on their legitimate trade of taking out parties; will oppose any chiselling on the part of private owners of pleasure craft who hope to take boats offshore by charging their guests ~ nny a day. lere will be restrictions simple pleasure boats. They won’t be allowed outside without good reason. Outboard boats, too, will be confined to inside waters. The Coast Guard and Navy are aware of the triple advantage of continuing fishing as usual. Tc stop it would tl? up a large industry, destroy the means of income for many. The food value of fish caught on party and charter boats is important. The recreational value is enormous.

Boatmen Form Resciie Fleet Men and boats along the New Jersey coast are being organized into volunteer fleets to assist the Coast Guard in rescuing survivors from torpedoed ships off shore. At least six such fleets have been formed, it was announced last last week by Captain Eugene A. Coffin, district Coast Guard officer. Other fleets, involving hundreds of small boats, to cover all injets along the Jersey coast will be organized in the near future. All Will maneuver under the direction of the Coast Guard. The first unit was formed April 7 at Toms River. Others ready for action are based at Beach Haven, Forked River and Manas-

quan Inlet.

.All the owners involved are members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, have special licenses to go into outside zones, and will pilot their own craft in rescues with regular Coast Guardsmen aboard to assist. Members of the fleet will receive _ telephoned reports of sinkings in their area, speed to docks by automobiles, receive final instructions from Coast Guard officers, then go into action. Most of the craft are of the twin-screw type, an important factor in tanker sinkings, because the boats may be steered by their engines, in the event rudders become jammed with coagulated surface oil. Many of the boats are fisherman-owned, the rest private sport cruisers and yachts.

WPA SURVEYING MAPS AS WAR EFFORT AID The WPA records project has

begun a statewide survey of thousands of maps valuable to civilian defense and war agencies under the sponsorship of Die New Jersey Defense Council, State WPA Administrator Robert

W. Allan announced today.

The War tion announced this week it would underwrite war risk insurance policies covering commercial fishermen against loss of life or injury from war action, it was

disclosed In Washington.

The insurance will he issued on group basis to fishermen’s asciations, unions and vessel own's’ associations, in amounts of not leas than $1,000 or more than

$5,000 a man.

It is estimated ‘that approximately 10.000 fishermen in all' parts of the United States will be subjec to the protection. The rate the-War Shipping Administration has fixed for the insurance underwriting for inshore operations is 75 cents a month for each $1,000 of coverage and for offshore operations $1.60 a month for each $1,000.

General Lauds New

Jersey Observers

New Jersey volunteers in the Civil Air Raid Warning System were praised for their efforts this week in a message from Brigadier General John K. Can-

non, of the U. S. Army.

General Cannon’s statement fol-

lows: /

“If you could be here with me and see the hundreds of airplane flights in symbol form going across the large map in the ' formation center and see force of officers and personnel constantly watching closely everything that goes across the sky, carefully identifying each flight and marking those unjdentifiea as possible targets, then visit the airfields and see the planes with pilots in readiness waiting for the orders which originate from your exact information, then you would appreciate what I mean when I say to you that there is no one more important than you, the observer who so faithfully makes this information available for use by the armed forces and Civil

Air Raid Warning System.

“May I congratulate you for such splendid achievement and urge you to go forward with us in the improvement of this most important and vital air raidwarning service?" the General

concluded.

Continental Congress’ order foiroing a Marine Corps in 1775 called for two battalions or 1,200 men; today there are 84,591 Marines.
