(phapohs J'O’t Jonuyuum “The economic crisis which will face America immediately after the cessation of the war was the theme of an address delivered Saturday evening by H. Alexander Smith, chairman of tbe New Jersey Republican^ State Committee, before the convention of Young Re- - publicans in Atlantic City. In his address, Mf. Smith challenged Young Republicans of the state to promote and work for the freedom of American enterprise, unhampered by government intervention. He characterized this freedom as the only means to attain full employment, which is the only remedy for post-war economic ills. To attain the goal of full employment, American inventive genius and ingenuity must be permitted to operate freely. New frontiers must be found and conquered. New products, new developments in industry, new modes of living ... all are possible frontiers which will open the way to better post-war living. Chairman Smith is to be commended for his farsighted attitude. After today’s all-out war effort there is bound to be a void.. True, government assistance will undoubtedly be required as a stop-gap until normal conditions return, but such government intervention must be only temporary. Otherwise America will become a state dominated country, its industry and business controlled by a few master-minds in Washington. That is the situation in totalitarian states today, a system of government against which we are fighting. It shouldn’t

happen here!

Too few of us look fonvard to the post-war period. The all-out, war effort today is the paramount necessity. Without it tomorrow wouldn’t matter. But our present efforts will succeed; there will be a tomorrow that matters. And we must prepare for that tomorrow logically and in a real American way which provides opportunity for free enterprise and individual development. That is the system which has made America the great nation it is. That is the system which must keep America a great nation. We mustn’t win the war and

lose the peace!

Mold J’OWdh 0# Qulip Plans have been started for an elaborate Fourth of July celebration in Cape May, including a large parade and a field day featuring all types of athletic competition. According to present tentative plans, the celebration promises to provide many attractions for holiday visitors and will be a welcome change from the usual undemonstrative observance of the holiday in this resort. This year, with vacation business what it is, all resorts are doing their utmost to provide entertainment and activities for their visitors. The Fourth of July celebration being planned here is an effective answer to that problem in Cape May. People the world over love parades. That is particularly time during times of war when patriotism normaliy runs high. Athletic competition is also universally popular. The two will probably combine to make Fourth of Julygme of the most pleasant and entertaining days Cape MafVisitors have had for many years. It is hoped that those arranging the various parts of this holiday program will receive the all-out cooperation of the community to help them do a good job for the entire resort. J&i (2 lAnitsid J-JwnL Formation of a Ministers’ Association in Cape May -was accomplished on Monday at a meeting of the majority of local clergymen. Aim of the new organization is to provide a forum where ministers may excange ideas and views apd discuss common problems which arise in the execution of their duties. Greater unity among the churches of Cape May will probably result from the functioning of the association, and the community at large will no doubt derive'benefit from the organization. Cape May is fortunate in having a group of clergymen whose duties and efforts are not confined to their own parishes but extend over the community as a whole through, their civic associations and activities. ‘ The new association has an opportunity to combine these efforts and weld them together for even greater good to the community.

For State Fair New Jersey Granges were called upon this week to increase their efforta in making the annual State Fair successful this year in n statement issued by David H. Agans, state master of the

Grange.

“The New Jersey State Grange approaches the year 1942 with courage and determination to carry on in spite of the many barriers that seemingly confront it,"

Agans said.

"We all realise that we are passing through a period that de-

mands a continuation of activities that characterize this great farm fraternity as not being a quitter. Therefore, we are planning with the New Jersey State Fair to present our exhibits as usual. This will require considerable thought and planning on the part of our subonlinate and county Granges in order that we may be able to make a creditable showing at this great agricultural exhibition,” he continued.

Taken rrom lues of The Star and Wave for the years 1937, 1932 and 1922. Five Years Ago Dredging of Cape May Harbor, its tributaries and other inland .vaterways in Cape May County will be started shortly, it was anounced Tuesday by Commissionr 1. Grant Scott after a telephone conversation with Victor Gelineau, director of the New Jersey Board of Commerce and Navigation. An appropriation of approximately $100,000 for the dredging will become effective July 1. With the sale of the first cityvned property this season, Cape May this week began to rid itself of properties acquired by the city through tax foreclosures. A list of city-owned property available for purchase has been prepared and sent to real estate brokers throughout the city. Work on Pennsylvania avenue, >w the only route between Cape May and the Coast Guard air station, will be started within ten days, it was announced yesterday by Freeholder Osman M. Corson, director of county highways. Ten sea scouts, aboard a disabled cruiser in Delaware Bay, were rescued Thursday afternoon by Coast Guards from the Cape May Point station after they had signalled for aid. The scouts were cn route from New York to Norfolk, Va., when their craft de eloped motor trouble. Ten Years Ago The long discussed new parking ordinance .which limits parking on Washington street to one hour, provides for stop streets and one way streets in n manner that can he enforced, was introduced^ by Council at their meeting on Tuesday. For the first four months of this year the record of automobile accidents shows Cape May County at the bottom of the list with .49 non-fatal accidents and .3 fatal ones. Salem county with non-fatal ones had 1.51 fatal accidents, while Sussex next low had .56 non fatal and

fatal.

Following the enforcement of the dog licensing ordinance and the appearance on the street of a dog catcher accompanied by a police officer, and the subsequent impounding of numerous dogs in the new city pound, applications for dog licenses have been plentiful and there are at least 100 licenses issued. At the annual meeting of the Woman’s Community Club, Mrs. J. Woodruff Eldredge was elected president to succeed Mrs. James Hand, president of this year. Other officers elected were Mrs. Samuel M. Schellenger, 1st vice president; Mrs. J. Walker Hand, 2nd vice president’; Mrs. Kennard Brown, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Horace F. Church, recording secretary; and Mrs. Bessie Hazlett, federation secretary. Twenty Years Ago At their regular meeting on Tuesday at Cape May Court House the Cape May County

Freeholders discussed the application of the Pennsylvania railroad for a right or way to run their tracks to Cape May Point. The anticipated road when completed will run from the Grant street station to the old power house and then switch off to the south side of the turnpike and run parallel with the pike Cape May Point. Under the direction of Col. Brown, of the U. S. Engineers’ Office at Wilmington, Del., certain repairs are being made on the jetties at the inlet of Cape May Harbor. Repairs of the jetties will be accomplished by means of huge concrete blocks, which will be manufactured on the premises. u last Saturday morning about 10 o’clock, the ammonia container connected with the ice ufacturing plant of Karl V. Kokes, exploded. Mrs. Kokes, believing that Mr. Kokes was in the room, rushed in' and was overcome with fumes. Mrs. Kokes is convalescing rapidly. The athletic meet to be staged in conjunction with the various other celebrations planned for this years' stupendous Fourth of July display, bears promise of being a huge success. A schedule of events has been completed that will give to the affair a metropolitan appearance.

Sea Scouts Cruise To Cape Friday

A group of Sea Scouts from Atlantic City enjoyed a cruise to

Cape May on Friday. The c

mittee of Post No. 2, American Legion, sponsor of the ship, visited the crew while at Cape May. In charge of the ship was Francis A. Freeman, while the crew [Consisted of William Draper, act- ! ing quartermaster; John Duffy, chief boatswain; Jack Spittle, machinist mate; James McGraw, boatswain’s mate; John Delaney, water tender; Paul Wagner, carpenter’s mate; Andrew Heires, electrician; Ben Buness, second boatswain’s mate; Thomas Clayton, yeoman; William Solitare, seaman; John Garbutt, and John

S TARBOARD WATCH By G Worthy IT’S A DATE .... Now, according to the powers that be, all you folks with automobiles are going to register again for gasoline ration books. This time it’s to be from July 1 to 3, when the school houses of the nation will be open as registration centers. Life’s getting more complicated all the time for automobile owners. Remember, that five dollar use tax is due- by July 1 . . . . SLIGHT DETOUR If, as some of those who should be in the know say, there is no shortage of gasoline and that the government is just doing all this gas rationing to make the American public conserve tires, it seems like a mighty round-about way of going at the thing. Sort of like going fsom here to Cape May Point by way of New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. But at least it’s getting all us Americans used to this rationing idea so it' won’t be so novel when the government gets around to those dozen other things they say will be rationed soon. TIME’S A-WASTIN’ It won’t be long now until Cape May's vacation season is officially open. According to present plans, the free evening dances and concerts are to start at Convention Hall on Saturday, June 27, which always marks the opening of the season. Another sign that summer's almost here is that the lifeguard tests will be held tomorrow, even though there is a real scarcity of prospective Beach Patrol members. Wonder if the city fathers have ever thought of the possibility of girl guards" Mmmmm. That might not be i bad idea! 'Course the main trouble would be that the number of male bathers needing assistance would probably increase tremendously. WILLING VOLUNTEER But there’s one guy around town who's plenty anxious to go into the service. He’s going to try to be appointed as a camp hostess at one of the new WAAC camps, which will soon be established for the women’s army which is being recruited.

During the past fiscal year the Navy Hydrographic Office has put out 2,331,000 nautical charts.

'lore' K so easily to cover so many feelings — especially when we a kind of affectionate at-

We love our dug;. we love the place where we live; we love tennis or baseball or fishing or good food. And with the same word we speak of the love of God toward us—love so far beyond our soothing emotional love that God sent His only Son into the world to live and suffer and die for us men. I think what S. .John would say in the passage. is that those who live for self and “what I can get ont of life” are so far removed from God that to them love is only an emotion which warms and sooths and satisfies them. God’s love is something else. It didn’t lead Him to Tort and self-satisfaction bnt to poverty, to misunderstanding, froiq an attempted lynching by the people of His own home town, to betrayal by a close friend, and to the death of a

criminal.

The imitation of Christ, which the essence of the Christian life, chiefly involves the imitation of the motives of the divine-hu-man Life, and the sharing by us of His redemptive work. There are many ways to come to know and love a person. We may talk to him, or watch him, or hear others talk about him. But we never really know a person until we have worked beside him at a task in which his whole interest is absorbed and ourselves have become absorbed in the work. Then only do the inner life and motives reveal themselves. So to know God through His Incarnate Son, we must work beside Him in His redemptive work of selfsacrificing love. Again we come up against a phrase that is coming into wide popular use—“Self-sacrifice". Everyone is talking of sacrifice as though every American, brought up in self-indulgent luxury, could suddenly in a few months learn its meaning. But sacrifice is a hard word. It means more than foregoing sugar and gasoline and tires, more than giving, however generously, to the many worthy needs placed before us. Sacrifice not a single act or a series acts, but it is first of ail a point of view in living, which in all life puts God first, others next, myself last. Sacrifice is

To give what is doaarrtaa is not love or charity, hot D, 1 auB ‘ for the ungodly”, not served, but hocaaae they It U sometimes saey to Mm -and sacrifice for im^pItsH ally tae people, but sot so ease love and sacrifice for mn-af-the-mill people, for weak and silly people, for mean and wicked people. To love the unlovable and to serve the undeserving is Christ’s chief work and ours.' We Christians live in a world where the true meaning of sacrificial love has been forgotten.

But the sacrifice which will be thrust upon us if we are to win the peace to come win be not so easy. We will be called upon to give up as individuals and as a nation many of the privileges we have assumed to be rights. Our isolation, not only political, but economic, will have to go the way of the dinosaur—it is hope’y archaic hen are men to learn that the only kind of sacrificial love which will win salvation or human peace is that represented by the selfforgetting love of a God who hung upon a Cross and prayer for those who put Him there? Here at this Altar week by week we memorialize and plead before God the merits of Christ’s perfect Sacrifice upon the Cross. Here, we, His members, offer ourselves together with Him to the Father. Do we dare honestly tc face the implications for us of this Holy Sacrifice? Can we live this Sacrifice in our offices, in onr politics, in our homes, in our shops? Only here at Die foot of the Cross is mankind told that the welfare and salvation of our nejghbors is worth more than our own lives. Here in living words we are told that he who saves his life shall lose it in the death of self-worship, and he who gives his life for God and his brothers gains eternal life as a co-worker with Jesus Christ. Only as human beings stop listening to what people say about them, stop looking into their mirrors to see what nice chaps they seem in their own eyes—only as we start looking at God as God is self-revealed to us as a crucified Saviour, can their lives together in societies and nations be saved .

All officers up to and including lieutenant commanders are introduced by their titles and then may be addressed as Mister.
