tjjOjod VhwA Jhs 0(p& South Jersey seashore resorts were given some consolation last Thursday by Leon Henderson, director-of the Office of Price Adiministration, following a conference in Washington in which he said that there will be no curtailment of full railroad or bus schedules to the seashore; that motorists can use two-thirds of their new three-month supply of gasoline as soon as they wish for vacation trips to the seashore; and that there will be no more OPA “Gestapo” check-ups of shore-bound motorists. Officials of a number of resorts who conferred with Mr. Henderson returned to their home communities encouraged by the prospects of reduced transportation difficulties lof^sgashore visitors. Since the outset of the war emergency .transportation has been the major worry of seashore interests. From Washington have come alarming stories concerning discontinuance of all rail and bus travel for non-essential passengers. Gasoline rationing was another blow. The OPA’s early-season check on motorists crossing the Delaware River bridge and ferries on their way to the seashore also was a blow to the seashore. Administrator Henderson was reported to-be symphathetic to tha resort interests’ appeals for modification of some of the stringent curtailment rulings. A native of Millville, Mr. Henderson is certainly familiar with the problems of this area, knows that transportation is the life blood of seashore areas. In essence, he told the conferees that: Railroad and bus schedulec could continue on the same basis as last year, even though there is a great demand for transportation facilities to handle troop movements. The only curtailment will be in the elimination of less essential trips, such as one-day excursions and other special runs. Under the permanent gasoline rationing program which will become effective in the first week of July, all motorists will be issued basic ration books allowing them 3.7 gallons of gasoline per week. Mr. Henderson pointed out that drivers, if they desire, may spend up to twothirds of the units on their cards immediately for vacation trips, provided they are willing afterward to scrimp on use of their cars when they return home. Use of the basic 3.7 gallons will not be restricted to essential motoring, but may be used entirely for pleasure driving if the motorist wishes. All in all, last Thursday's conference seems to clear the air considerably for the seashore, which has gone ahead with its preparations for the 1942 season with some misgivings.

Solution Jo Jjai&i fi/uabkmA. ? A plan to establish a free public employment service at the Superintendent’s office in Cape May High School to function as a community enterprise during the summer season was announced this week by Dr.. Edward E. Pickard, city school superintendent. The plan is the outgrowth of a large number of requests for help of all kinds which have been made to Dr. Pickard. With a distinct shortage of most kinds of labor this summer, there is a real need for such an agency to try to coordinate the wants of employers and prospective employees. With requests for help coming in large numbers, Dr. Pickard conceived the idea of establishing his office as a free employment bureau where those seeking positions may register ,so they may be contacted by prospective employers. Cape May this year is having a great deal of trouble in getting workers for the many resort enterprises and an additional service such as this, may help. In this and many other respects, the schools of our community are playing an increasingly important part in the general welfare of Cape May. They are not confining their efforts purely to the instruction of children, but-are reaching out offering their facilities to the community at large for the common benefit. Schools should seize every chance to give the community maximum service.

Jsuam Iti&ik 9A Jhc ChuwcA, More straingent dim-out orders issued last week making it necessary for automobiles driving toward the beach or on Beach Drive to use parking lights only have brought the full effect of the coastal dim-out to Cape May. While such restrictions may seem rather strict, particularly at seashore resorts, if one coastwise ship is saved through the protection offered by the dim-out, the inconvenience will be worth wliile. Reduction of automobile lights makes necessary strict compliance with traffic laws to avoid accidents. A 10-mile-an-hour sp'-od limit has been placed on after-dark beachfront traffic as a safety measure, and speeds in excess of the legal maximum are definitely dangerous. Since the new regulations became effective late last week, a great number, of motorists have become acquainted with the dim-out order, both through public notice of the ban on bright lights and through warnings given by air raid wardens who have been patrolling the beachfront. Virtually all have accepted the edict In good spirit and have cooperated willingly as one of their individual contributions to the war Effort. Less light for driving is a small sacrifice to make in the interests of protecting pas ring ships, and preventing them from being silhousetted against a glare of shore lights. It is the spirit of cooperation and willingness to sacrifice some minor personal pleasures and liberties, exhibited clearly in this dim-out regulation, which will bring America ultimate victory in the war. Team work is the keynote of American progress and prosperity. It has made our nation the greatest in the world. It will keep our nation tfee greatest in the world. However let the order be enforced reasonably and politely. As in all police matters, courtesy should be the by-word.

ConqhalulationA, Sonatifx,! Capa May County was accorded a signal honor on Saturday when 1 , Senator I, Grant Seett- president of the upper house of the State Legislature, wakforin^fiy inducted as acting governor of New Jersey to serve in the absence of Governor Edison, who is attending a conference and enjoying an extended vacation. His brief term as acting governor of New Jersey is another milestone in Senator Scott’s public career which has been meteoric. Almost from the beginning of his service in the lawmaking bodies of the state. Senator Scott has been honored with positions of great trust and responsibility. Important committees, majority leadership and presidency, of the Senate which places him in a position second only" to that of the Governor, all have been his during his comparatively brief career in the Legislature. His service as acting governor of the state is a still further honor that few men in public life ever have opportunity to receive. These honors to Scott are honors to his county and to Cape May, his home town.

Tire and gas rationing should not reduce vacation travel

A NY present or contemplated restrictions on the use of passenger automobiles need not seriously affect vacation business. Many motorists are saving Iheir gas allotments especially for' vacation purposes. The railroads and bus operators have promised regular schedules equal to previous years. If these facilities are used seven days a week, many thousands of vacationists can be transported. Gas rationing may even prove to be helpful, by converting the one day excursionist into a one or fro week vacationist. * Recent week-ends have proved that people are not afraid of the seashore—on the contrary, they want to come. / And, don’t forget they crowded our beaches in the days before automobiles.
