Smith Urges G 0. P. Vigil H. Alexander Smith, chairman of the New Jersey Republican State Committee, in a speech delivered at the New Jersey State Convention of Young Republicans in Atlantic City Saturday evening, urged that with the call for national unity in the war effort there was a vital need for an effective and loyal opposition. He pointed out that eternal vigilance by an opposition party is an essential for full and effective war production, for the prevention of racketeering and for the curtailment of non-defense spending. "Undoubtedly we will all agree that full employment may be brought about if in some way we can maintain full productivity, which in turn requires maximum consuming power among our people in order to absorb what is produced," Smith declared, discussing the economic issue which •ill face America after the war. “And here, it seems' to me, is the great opportunity for the Republican party to take a definite stand for and champion that free enterprise which has made the United States the great nation that it is. “We Republicans must insist that as rapidly as possible after this war the hand of the state ceases to obstruct the full flc Wering of individual human endeavor, and that all our energies be directed to the inspiring objective that our country shall once more become a land where more people are able and willing to support the government than will ever be looking to the government to support Ahem,” the Republican chief declared.

Kiwanis Given Quiz On Events Cape May Kiwanians were confronted with an up-to-date quiz program at last week’s dub meeting. Dr. Edward E. Pickard, city school superintendent, was moderator, and the judges were Lewis T. Stevens and Steven J. Steger. Contestants were Charles A. Swain, Harry Kunz and Clarence D. Fisher, competing individually and against the audience. Questions of the day were thrown at the contestants and at the close the judges awarded a prize of defense stamps to Fisher for having earned the highest

score.

At another time Kiwanians enS ged in an old fashioned nail iving contest. Competitors were R. Clifton Ware, Daniel J. Rick- ', F. Mulford Stevens. After pounding for a 30-second stretch, the total number of nails was counted for each man, and Ware emerged victorious. In a professional match between two Kiwanians who are carpenters, Frank S. Rutherford defeated Jesse Rutherford.

New Ruling For Local Dairyman WASHINGTON—New and more extensive savings of tires, gasoline and other materials and equipment will result from an Office of Defense Transportation ruling blanketing thousands of socalled producer-distributors under the restrictions already applying

to milk distribution.

Producer-distributors are dairy farmers maintaining one or more milk routes to nearby communities. The milk industry generally began restricting deliveries June 1st in accordance with the O.D.T. orders. The status of the thousands of producer-distributors was questioned as many were continuing .unrestricted deliveries in areas where curtailed delivery

plans are in effect.

Solely as a producer of milk the dairy farmer would be exempt from the orders calling for delivery restrictions. Operations involving retail distribution of milk, however, said the federal agency, must comply with O.D.T. general orders 5 and 6 calling for elimination of special deliveries and 25 per cent reduction in mileage.

The USS DELAWAlfe, completed in 1911, was the world's first oil burning battleship.

Army and Navy camps and baasa, has been voiced by the War Department and many high officials i of the armed forces and govem- | ment. indicating little possibility that the measure will be enacted, despite current rumors to the effect that liquor sales will be banned in a radius of five miles around military stations The bill, introduced by Senator Sheppard on February 18, 1941.! ] was reported out of the Committee on Military Affairs without recommendation in mid-May. A report of the War Department, issued by Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, stated: ‘The War Department is opposed to the enactment of sections 1, 2, and 3 of S.860, Seven-ty-seventh Congress, a bill to provide for the common defense in relation to the sale of alcoholic liquors to the members of the land and naval forces of the United States and to provide for the suppression of vice in the vicinity of military camps and naval establishments, but favors the enactment of section 4 of such bill. ‘The War Department fully realizes that from the viewpoint of efficiency and moral standards, an Army in which drunkenness is non-existing is highly desirable. However, knowing the frailties of human nature and realizing that habits of temperance or intemperance are developed long before the individual 'becomes a soldier, the War Department is convinced that temperance cannot be attained by prohibition applied to the nation at large, and experience has proven that the problem can only be solved by the application of practicable and tolerant measures applied in a logical

manner.

“Fortunately our presently existing laws provide an ideal framework for such control,” the report continued. "Experience has proven that the present policy of the Department is the most effective way to insure temperance and it would be regrettable indeed should the Congress, in its effort to assist in the matter of attaining temperance among military personnel, enact legislation which would destroy the advancements made and return to the Department the difficult problem of combatting bootleg operations,” Secretary Stimpson added. Similar views were expressed recently by Laurence H. Eldredge, president of the Pennsylvania Alcoholic Beverage Study, Inc., before the national conference of State Liquor Administrators, Milwaukee, Wis. Mr. Eldredge, a native of Cape May, is also professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania. “I am particularly impatient with those misguided individuals who are petitioning Congress to prohibit the sale of liquor to men in our armed services. We believe these men have enough maturity, enough responsibility and enough good judgment to be trusted to go out to face the enemy and to fight and die to preserve our liberties. It is a rankling insult to them to take the attitude they don't have enough maturity, judgment and rcsponsibilty to face liquor and enjoy themselves decently in their hours of relaxation,” Mr. Eldredge declared^ "Surveys at many militafycamps, including a survey my organization made at Indiantown Gap, Pa., prove that conditions around them are excellent. It is much easier for the military authorities to deal with persons holding liquor licenses than It would be to deal with the itinerant and surreptitious bootlegger and the clandestine speak-easy of ill repute. "I wonder what kind of children these people have who are so certain boys from 20 up cannot be trusted in a place where liquor is legally dispensed? It would seem that these people believe from their own. experience, or from no experience, that all young men are fatally bent upon mischief. Well, the minority who are, will find it, no matter what legislative fiat is pronounced and

the decent majority will deeply thtm*fortT’tTduTto preserve the liberties of us beck home and at

Inspector Urged To Control Licensees Recommending the employment of an inspector to keep local liquor licensees under surveillance. Commissioner George P. Woutiell continued his opposition to granting license renewals at Friday’s commission meeting. Wentzell announced he would vote against renewal of all liquor licenses in Cape May this year unless more stringent supervision was imposed upon licensed premises to curb alleged violations of liquor laws. A number of license renewals were granted Friday by a two-to-one vote of the commission. Mayor T. Millet Hand and Commissioner I. Grant Scott voted for the license renewals on the grounds that only one formal objection had been filed against any licensee although public notice had been given of all applications. "Unless objectors are sufficiently interested to file their objections with the commission, I see no reason why I should vote againet renewing any license where no charges of misconduct have been filed with us,” said Senator Scott. Both Scott and the Mayor said they favored ample supervision of

Chapel Will Mark Father’s Day Members and friends of the West Cepe May Chapel will observe Fathers’ Day with a program of novel and interesting features on Sunday afternoon at :80 o'clock. This year's Fathers’ Day program promises to be the most outstanding observance of its kind ever held at the chapel Adjutant Theodore F. Thompn, director of the Cape May USO Club, will be the speaker of the afternoon. In addition to the speaker, the program will include singers from out of town. Two novel features will be the presentation of tokens to the parents or friends of former members of the school who are now in the armed forces. The tokens will be presented in duplicate, allowing the families to retain one end to forward the other to the boy or girl in service. A flower service accompanies the token award. As the name of each boy or girl in service, together with his or her rating and unit designation is read, a flower will be placed in a vase. After the service the floral tribute will be taken to the oldest sick or shut-in father who is a member of the Chapel.
