(pAfiCfASL&A d-fiknhf Last week was an eventful one for Cape May, its. developments bringing realisation of one long-standing dream of many and surpassing beyond all expectations the hopes for still greater expansion and activity. .hr'the span of a few short hours, federal authorities approved allocations of more than *2,000,000 for this immediate vicinity. .An allotment of Naval funds amounting to $1,110,940 was approved, to finance construction of the Cape May County canal from Cape May Harbor to Delaware Bay, a dream which has held great promise for this area for more than half a century. The same day, another million dollars was approved'for Cape May to finance further expansion of Navy facilities here and to make the Cape May Naval Air Station a training base for Naval aviation cadets. Meanwhile, plans for the construction of a Coast Guard servicing bey- in Cape May were advanced, and work is expected to start shortly. Construction is being speeded on a million-dollar plant to produce sintered magnesite used in the manufacture of steel. Work is being rushed on the million-and-a-half dolllar airport in nearby Lower Township which will be used by the Army for the duration and after the war operated by the Civil Aeronautics Adiministration. Add all of these things to the millions of dollars which have already been spent for expansion of the Cape May Naval base, the comparatively recent construction of the Ocean Drive and other important improvements whose value will transcend the war and you have a fair picture^ of progress spelled with capital letters. Taken individually, each project is extremely important to this an Taken as a whole, they portend great things for the post-war period. It might have taken a world-wide war to speed the process, but Cape May today is progressing by leaps and bounds and is being prepared for great thipgs after the war has passed. the nice part about all this progress is that it hasn’t destroyed oi diminished by one iota any of Cape May’s intrinsic charm or attractiveness as vacation resort. It hasn’t spoiled our natural advantages or our man-made facilities. But is has added greatly to the potential value of this community and given us a foundation on which to continue ex pension after the bloody business of war has been ended.

The first annual Cape May Bible and Missionary Conference will begin on Supday, August 2, at which time a large number of churchmen, clergy and laity alike, are expected to be present for the first week of the conference. Under the auspices of the Northern Baptist Convention, the conference will be held in t)ie Cape Wand Baptist Church. Three s pea rate themes will provide foundations fornhethree-week conference, and each week is expected to attract new groups Never before attempted by the Northern Baptist ConvenUon, the Bible and Missionary Conference is a series of religious meetings, apirational and informational, which will be addressed by most outstanding Northern Baptist leaders and executives. of its experimental nature, there can be no indication as to the number who will attend or the success of the meeting?, but the nationwide publicity the conference has received among Baptist clergymen and church merolcrs and the exceptional caliber of the conference 1 cadets ^ expected to draw a considerable number to this resort»for the

- Conference.

Similar meetings held in North Carolina under the auspices of the Southern Baptist Convention have been eminently successful. From small beginnings like those in Cape May, the southern conference has expanded annually until if now continues from early June until autumn, attracting thousands each week. The Rev. Robert D. Carrin, pastor of the host church, has stressed that the conference is not restricted only for Baptist but is open to all. 'regardless of faith or denomination. It is hoped that a large congregation of Cape May residents and visitors will attend the opening conference session Sunday evening and. subsequent meetings. lx it is as successful as we hope it will be. the Bible and Missionary Conference opens a new field for Cape May. one which in time to come may be of great importance. The City Commissioners have lent Dr. Carrin and other conference leaders full support, with the hope that this conference may be an fnmial event of ever increasing-significance.

Gboui Soahdinq dtomoA A proposal to have a list of accredited boarding homes throughout Cape May Count]? for the use of old age pensioners, made recently by E. L. Johnstone, president of the Cape May County Welfare Board, aeems to hold promise of increased business for a number of county reaidents who normally operate boarding houses only during summer

months.

Freeholder Henry Y. Clouting, director of charities, elaborating on Mr, Johnstone's suggestion, pointed out that last winter, the welfare board had considerable difficulty in finding suitable accommodations for many pensioners, who could'not maintain themselves in their own homes. Facilities at the county almshouse are not adequate to care for the additional group of pensioners. In many instances, use of the almshouse is not desirablle anyway, for the old age pensioners are not in the category generally associated with such an institution. Private homes for pensioners provide the most satisfactory arrangement all around. There, their home life can be continued. They can enjoy the comforts and companionships which no public institution, however nice it may be, can provide. They can enjoy their old age with a certain measure of independence, knowing that their smali pensions are paying their way and that they are not inmates of a

Prom the standpoint of the many operators of boarding houses in this county particularly in the resorts, such business would be » welcome addition, especially during the off-esaaon months The pensions received by Welfare boa id clients are adequate in most instances to ■.aiirtniw them modestly in private boarding homes, and such additional Income would take up some of the alack of winter months. Of eearse, ns Mr. Johnstone and Freeholder Clouting pointed out, such homes would have to be carefully inspected before they could be ' placed on a list of approved boarding homes That is only right for, the protection of the pensioners and the county which is paying the
