Jowdh 0# Ctwwd *jooeL Cape May and the other seashore resorts of New Jersey enterained near-record crowds of visitors during the Fourth of July holiday, substantiating still further the growing conviction that the summer of 1942, despite the many vacation problems born of the war, will be far from the worst season vacation resorts have had. Cape May, like most other resorts, reported excellent crowds during the holiday weekend, and many resort facilities were taxed to capacity as the throngs of visitors arrived for the holiday. As was expected, automobile traffic declined markedly below that of last year, but the loss was partly offset by the large number of visitors coming to the seashore by train and bus. . .. Railroad officials estimated a 30 per cent increase in all their seashore passenger services, and officials of bus companies operating public conveyances between cities and shore points said the holiday rush created new records for that type of transportation. Although the number of automobiles was considerably less than last Fourth of July, a great many visitors held to the normal mode of transportation for their holiday trips, and Cape May and the other resorts were well filled with automobiles, while the traffic problem generally was less difficult than during a normal holiday period. Cape May has experienced good resort business during the two major holiday weekends so far this season. Both Memorial Day and Fourth of July crowds surprised many who were rather pessimistic about the outcome of the 194_ season. The intervening periods have compared favorably with the same periods of former seasons, giving rise to ‘• he general opinion that the current vacation season will be near normal, despite the war. With the Friends’ General Conference and the Baptist Bible Conference helping to bring additional visitors to Cape May this year, and with large numbers of friends and relatives of service men stationed in this area coming here for their vacations in addition to the pormal crowds of visitors from surrounding city areas, Cape May has much to hope for as the season gets under way. fphopnhinq Jcfl lOchld (pBOCSL The Friends' General Conference which opened Monday for a week of sessions is one of the most significant gatherings the Society of Friends has had since the days of World War I. Notably peace loving and opposed war, members of the Society of Friends, however, are taking*an active interest in the conflict, doing their bit, according to their religious tenets, and attempting to provide a foundation for a sound and lasting peace after the present hostilities have ceased. This week’s conference sessions are being addressed by a large number of prominent speakers, all authorities on various religious and educational subjects, all leaders of thought and action in their own spheres. Based on the theme, “Toward a Free and Generous World”, the conference is considering international and interracial problems which must be met and solved before a lasting peace can be effected. While most of America is concerned with the all-out effort to win the war through activity in the armed forces and through production of the implements of war, the Friends this year are concerning themselves with the peace which will follow the present struggle. It has often been said that one of America’s greatest dangers in the Second World War is that we will win the war and again lose the peace. Some of our national leaders, some of the best minds in the country, are attempting to lay the groundwork for a lasting peace. That is the object of this conference of the Society of Friends. The deliberations and discussions at the conference sessions are centered about this all-important and farreaching problem, and while to some such considerations may seem rather premature, it is of the utmost importance to be prepared for the action which will certainly foltasv ultimate

victory.

The Friends are a far-sighted group. Their conferences here in 1936^hd 1938 anticipated the outbreak of hostilities on the plane of our present global war; the gathering in 1940 dealt. With the Friends’ part in the war and this year’s conference is concerned with the part Friends will play in the peace which will follow. Advance planning such as this is the surest way for do finite action when the time arrives. The Friends, through their Service Committee are doing and have done a great deal to relieve the suffering of w'ar-time famine and poverty in Europe. Their roles in the conflict, although officially noncombatant, are important to the ultimate goal. Cape May is fortunate to be chosen by such an organization as the location for its conference sessions, for as such, it is the birth-place of many ideas and ideals which will undoubtedly figure prominently in the affairs of the world in the future. 91'a O. Smalt fpAke Restrictions on beachfront activities announced recently by the Coast Guard have, in most instances, been taken in the sportsmanlike manner wrhich characterize the American people. The restrictions do not seriously affect the success or enjoyment of seashore vacations and they cause no great Inconvenience, although their enforcement is necessary to insure the safety of our nation. Briefly, the restrictions prohibit being on beaches (not boardwalks). AFTER DARK, ban fishing from beaches, piera, etc. only AFTER DARK, prohibit use of cameras or field glasses to photograph or watch passing ships, particularly convoys, and authorize guard patrols to require boardwalk, atrollers to identify themselves, satisfactorily after 1:30 a. m. The slight inconvenience caused by the beachfront regulations is indeed a small price to pay to prevent the infiltration of enemy agents along our coastline. Our individual cooperation with those charged with guarding the coast is ond way, in which all real Americans can aid in the war-effort of the nation.

EM WORKING

As a utility company our job is to provide gas, and electric power where it is needed, and wheip it is needed, to keep the geared-up wheels of production turning at a mounting pace. To us the war was as unexpected as to anyone else, and many of our men are in military service. But the increasing demand for power was not unexpected, for Jersey Central has been at work since 1940 enlarging its ’ generating capacity through the installation of new boilers and equipment. This involves major structural alterations, and requires a long period of time for the manufacture and installation of equipment. Some of this capacity is now ready for operation, and more will be available this year. At the present time approximately 52 percent of our electrical output is going to serve war industries, or for essential civilian use. The company also serves a number of key military posts which are constantly expanding, requiring increased

service.

The war may be short or long, but utilities always must plan on ^he basis of long range programs, anticipating the generation years in advance.
