PoAhibiLity Joi PhoyhstAA. Possibility that CajK^Jlay Harbor might be boomed as one of the principal shipping center^-of this area was indicated last week by Freeholder Ralph T. Stevens, of Cape May, a member of the South Jersey Port Commission, who indicated he would press the advantages of Cape May Harbor if a wrangle for fund allotments between the cities of ^T^nton and Camden were not settled in accordance with the intent of the New Jersey Legislature which provided the money. Freeholder Stevens, a new member of the commission, declared last week that unless the Legislature's desire is carried out by the commission, and unless the Legislature so amended the law to clarify the situation, he would bring before the commission the advantages of Cape May Harbor. Mr. Stevens' statement was not merely idle talk. Cape May Harbor has certain very definite advanUges, particularly during present times, when minimums of time and distance are so vitally

portent.

As Mr. Stevens pointed out, two days' time can be saved on every shipment if Cape May’s harbor facilities are used instead of those of Camden or Trenton. With huge expenditures necessary to make the ports of Camden and Trenton fully effective, it would be little more expensive to develop Cape May Harbor so that it could handle the amount of

It is economically feasible to use Cape May as a major shipping port, transferring cargoes to freight trains for final shipment to metropolitan industrial centers," for the saving in valuable time and fuel, effected by eliminating the tortuous trip up the Delaware, would more than offset the expense of railroad transportation and the shifting of cargoes! Years ago, before some of the larger river cities began to velop their port facilities and become important shipping centers, Cape May literally anil figuratively “missed the boat", and what might have developed into one of the greatest Atlantic coast ports remained a comparatively quiet seashore resort. The day of opportunity is not past. Now with transportation a vital problem, there instill a possibility of cashing in on the great potentialities of this city. With a representative such as Freeholder Stevens, who thoroughly appreciates Cape May’s possibilities and is in a position to bring those pMsibilities to the attention of those who can capitalize on them, this city stands to benefit from its great natural advantages.

au-Oui jin ifw iaso Cape May went well “over the top" in its campaign to raise funds for the USO campaign which ended July 5, and contributions which continued to pour in to members of the local committee even after the nominal end of the drive, added substantially to this resort's total contribution to the United Service Organizations, which maintain service clubs throughout the land and in foreign countries in the vicinty of Army and Navy bases and camps to meet the recreation needs of service men. Of all communities in this county, C&pe May knows best the valuable work performed by the USO, by virtue of the club which has been in operation here since last autumn. It has taken an active part in community life since its establishment, and has helped the community at large as well as the service men stationed in this locality. ' Cape May has had ah opportunity to see how such service clubs -function, to .know their value. The fact that citizens of this community expressed their approval by contributing to the support of this and other similar clubs throughout tKe world. The work done by the USO is of inestimable value to service men. The United Service Organizations truly provide “a home away from home” for the large number of men in the armed forces. Attesting the fact that money contributed to the USO is spent wisely and is not wastefully squandered is the fact that statistics prove the cost of operating and maintaining service clubs averages leas than three cents per day per man. The citizens and visitors of Cape May who contributed so generously to the USO campaign fund are to be commended for their interest in the welfare of the men in service, and the members of I the committee which conducted the local campaign deserve great praise for their diligence and the great amount of work they did I during the drive.

Storing Up God’s Word By the Rev. J.L Peaco, pastor, Franklirt Street Methodist Church. Text: Psalm 119:11. Thy word word have I hid in mine heart, that 1 might not sin against Thee. Here is, firft, the close application which David made of the word of God to himself. He hid it in his heart, laid it up there, that it might be ready, to him whenever he had occasion to use it: he laid it up as that which he valued highly and had a- warm regard for, and which he was afraid of losing and being robbed

of.

God’s word is a treasure worth laying up, and there is no laying it up safely but in our hearts. If we have it only in our houses and hands, enemies may take it from us; if only in our heads our memories may fail Us. But if our hearts be delivered into the mould of it, and the impressions of it remain on our souls, it is safe. Second, the good use he designed to make of it “That I might not sin against thee.” Good men are afraid of sin, and in care to prevent it, and most effective way to prevent it is to hide God’s word in hearts, that we may answer cry temptation, as our Master did, with it. David, seemingly knew the awfulness of sin, as seemingly, many peoples of today have not yet learned; and because of this, he sought a remedy and his remedy was to hide God’s word in his heart' and recommend to others to do the same ia order that \ might not sin against God. Let us walk down • life's path little w-ay and look at the aftermath and results of sin. Broken homes, divorce courts, overcrowded prisons, individuals-at variance with other individuals, organizations failing to understand other organizations, nations filled with hate for other nations until today this beautiful .God-given world of is fast becoming one combattlefield, where human flesh is counted very cheap and human blood is spilled as water. Oh yes, there is such a thing

as’ sin, and sin is awful. Sin blights, sin disfigures, sin twists, sin’s wages are death and sin kills beyond the grave. Sin cost God a great price in that he gave His Son to save us 1 An acrostic definition of the word sin gives us the following; Satan's intensive negativeness and that is Satan’s position to oppose, disregard and veto all of GmTs positive program for us. Humanity is the instrument Satan uses for This, and sin is the method. David knew this, hence the text. David resolved to hide God’s word; in his heart, that sin could not lodge there and use him to sin against the God that created him, “for to whom we yield our service, his servant we are”. Therefore, may we, like David, 'go and do likewise.

Con^uMJVjiA Shiny dhunncAA After the highly successful Friends' General Conference which closed here Monday, following a week of sessions. Cape May awaiting the start of the Baptist Bible- and Missionary Conference that will continue from August 2 through August 21. The Friends' Conference demonstrated one important fact. It showed, that despite gasoline and tire rationing, despite the quickened tempo of war-time industry and business, that people still find time to attend conferences «ud conventions which interest them, and that religious conclaves are particularly interesting and well attended because of the increasing trend toward the church in these days of uncertainty and'doubt. Attendance at the Friends' conference surprised even leaderaof' the Society, who had estimated the number attending, Would be mucb less than that of' the 1940 meeting because oC edrrent transportation problems. While the Baptist Bible. Conference is an . entirely new enterprise. and there can be no advance indication of what we might expect, those arranging the gathering are optimistic about the at-

To Case May, reUgioos conferences such as the Friends' gathering and t\e Baptjtt meetings are extremely important, for they bring to this'-serfart visitors who otherwise might not come here. Many who attend such meetings in Cape May become acquainted with the advantages of this resort, and return subsequently for' their vacations and their outings. In this business of acquainting strangers with Cape May. lies the roowt significant aspect of such conventions, although the additional business they create for hotels, boarding and rooming houses and local business establishments generally is a valuable adjunct to the normal - season's business. Cape May is fortunate in baring two such gatherings this Bummer, and H. is hoped that the Baptist conference will be-highlv •wceeesfi.:! both from the standpoint of its' contribution to religion and from purely selfish motives so far as Cape May is concerned.

The mail man may come only once a day on the R F D. route, but the modern farm Miss is far from being out of'touch with things, as the farmer s daughter used to be These days town and country are very much alike where modern living is concerned. for cleocicity has made a big change on the farm., Up to date appliances, refrigeration, the electric range, automatic hot water, have mad£ all the difference in the world to the whole family, while labor saving machinery on the farm has done wonders for the fanner, reducing work and increasing profits. Yes. the modern farm Miss can hold her own in any company. She can drive a tractor, feed the chickens, inilk a cow. and at the same time she can be modern in her home making methods, dress in the latest mode, and have the world in general at her finger tips. The gasoline shortage may cut down callers, or deliveries a bit. bu{ this won't make so much difference now. thanks to electrification which has been extended further into farm sections each year. There's a big job to be done on' the farm in 1942. and the farm families are going to do jf with characteristic American 20th Centory speed and efficiency.

Jersey Central through the conaiatent policy of extending rural lines during the past 10 years, now serves some of the finest farm areas in the State. Our farm pactions, midway between New York and -Rmadelphia, are rich' in truck produce, potatoes, tomatoes, and other vegetables. as well as fruits and berries. This year agriculture is more important than ever, not only to the home front, but to

our fighting -forces.
