A three-way improvement program for Cape May has been recommended by the Summer Cottagers’ Association, and the suggestions, if carried ,out, no doubt will make Cape May a better place in which to live. The association has recommended, briefly, that the city inaugurate a system of municipal garbage collection; that more adequate police protection be provided for vacant properties, particularly in the East Cape May cottage area; and that the Yacht avenue Area be added to the city’s sewerage system. All of these things are needed in Cape May. For years, the subject of garbage collection has been a vexing problem to local citizens as well as 'officials. There has long been a growing sentiment for municipal garbage and trash collection in order to provide better, more efficient service and at the same time to give city officials a real measure of control over the collectors. Several times in recent years the city officials have tried to improve the garbage situation by attempting to regulate the time of collection and the type of trucks or wagons which might be used. Starting off with high resolves, many of the changes fell by the wayside shortly, and no lasting improvement was ever accomplished. Better protection for vacant properties in all sections of Cape May is needed. Each year a great many vacant houses are entered; some are damaged, others are robbed, others are merely cluttered up. It is extremely dangerous, from a fire standpoint, and extremely annoying to property owners to have vacant properties entered and damaged while the owners are not here to protect them. True, it is difficult for the small city police force to prevent all such cases over such a wide area, but protection must be improved. The Yacht avenue sewerage system is also a necessary improvement. With more and more people residing in the area, it is imperative that some adequate provision be made for the disposal of sewage. Of course, at present, with scarcities of materials, it might be'difficult to obtain enough to install a new sewer line connecting with the nearest city lino, but it is a project which should not. be overlooked or delayed longer than is absolutely necessary for the protection of the public health. The Cottagers’ recommendations appear to be Sound, constructive suggestions for the betterment of the community. It is hoped that the commissioners will weigh them thoroughly and take the action recommended before the start of another season.

# Cape May County has dug deeply into its pockets and has gone all-ont for the purchase of government bonds to help Uncle Sam finance this greatest of all war efforts. Figures released last week show that more than $1,000,000 worth of government bonds, exclusive of Series E war bonds, have bqen/pnrchased by county residents and businesses smee Abe Victor} - Fund drive was started early in July. J A report issued simultaneously by Stuart R. Trottmann, chairman of the Cape May War Bond campaign committee, showed that this ommunity’s total war bond sales, made at the postoffice and the bank, have totalled $164,000 since the first of the year. While local figures for other communities in the county are not available, it is believed that all have had substantial war bond sales, so that war bonds alone sold in. this county have probably reached the million dollar mark. v % The figures are significant in a number of ways. First, when they are multiplied by the,number of communities approximately the same as Cape May County. ‘ they give a fair picture of the national aspect of John Q. Citizen’s part in the war effort from a standpoint of personal contributions. Secondly, they show that the people of Cape May County haw money and are Milling invest it in the security of their country to aid Uncle Sam meet some of the tremendous bills he is piling up as a result of the war. Third, the totals, running into six figures, show that the citizens of Cape May County have accepted the challenge of the dictatore,. Hitler. Mussolini, et als, and are doing everythingjhey can to spell defeat of the Axis byanswering Uncle Sam’s call for loans from the public. Cape May County’s part in the war effort is an example for others to follow, but there is still room for improvement. Everyone is not doing his utmost. It is that,extra effort that will mean success or failure of the total war effort of the nation. Do YOUR part! f

Boswell Is Backing Hawkes’ Candidacy

, OCEAN CITY — John E. Boowell, Speaker of the Assembly and city solicitor of this municipality, onjfriday announced his active support of the candidacy of Albert W. Hawkes for the Re-

Declaring that Mr. Hawkes is hriaging ’’inspirational leadership

Cape May is apparently due for one of the longest seasons in her history, due partly to the fact that many of the cottagers are remaining here because the opening of schools in Philadelphia has been postponed until late this month—Several of the leased cottages have been re-leased for another fortnight or month.

Twenty Years Ago

Saint Raymond's Roman Catholic Church in Wildwood Villas was dedicated Sunday morning at a special service attended by more than seven hundred residents of the bayshore community and its surrounding territory. The new church, located near the corner of Bayshore Road and Hudson street, blessed by the Rt. Rev. Monsignor M. R. Spillane, V.R.P.A., of Atlantic City.

The first thing following the roll call at the County Board of Freeholders meeting at Cape May Court House on Tuesday was the introduction to the Board members of General SupL Torrey and Attorney Walter Hanstein of the Atlantic City and West Jersey Electric Companies. These two gentlemen came before the board to ask permission to erect a high tension line from Ocean City to Wildwood and brought with them a resolution asking for this privilege and also sets of blue prints showing the type of pole to be erected and the exact location along the road where each of these poles will go up.

PLUG FROM THE PLUGS That was a nice break Cape May got last Wednesday at the Garden State race track in Camden. The city’s publicity department engineered what was known as a ‘‘Cape May Handicap” through the cooperation of Garden State’s bosses, and the result was that several of the big city sheets carried banner headlines practically screaming ‘‘Cape May” in two-inch letters.

Hints To Homemakers

WHY USE SUGAR? By Virginia Reynolds, of Cape May After all, bees, for instance, weren't created for naught. They have the comer on honey making. Then man has done a little work on the sweet side, too, like making molasses, maple sugar, and lots of syrups that would satisfy any sweet tooth.

IT COULDN’T HAPPEN And all those folks who knew positively that a canal would never be built across Cape May County must feet sort of foolish now that the dredge is practically in their front yards. Oh well . . .

HO, HUM. ELECTION They tell us there’s going to be a primary election on Tuesday, but from the amount of general interest in this county at least we don't suppose anybody's going to lose any sleep waiting for the returns. •

“No eccentricities in the manner of wearing the hair, beard or mustache shall be permitted," read the U. S. Navy orders.

A cocked hat, according to the Navy Uniform Regulations, shall be five inches high and seventeen inches long, with i

Try substituting the following for sugar: If something calls for 1 cup of sugar, use cup of molasses, honey or com syrup, deduct VI cup liquid. Add Vi teaspoon soda when substituting molasses. The juices of canned fruits are also usable as sweetning. You will find it easier to measure honey, and molasses, too, if your measuring cup is either moist or greased. It is a good plan to measure the fat before the honey. In this way you are sure of getting your full measure of honey out of the cup when you pour it out. One of the greatest difficulties of baking with honey is finding the right temperature. You will have more success if you keep the temperature slightly under what the sugar recipe calls for. Certain cakes made with honey appear lighter and fluffier when they are first baked. They also taste as if they needed more i’eetening. These same cakes, upon aging will become moist, flavorful and better in texture. Plan to bake your honey cakes day or two before you want use them.

Because the sugar bowl has always been handy, perhaps you have been missing the fruit sugar flavor in fresh fruit. Berries, bananas, grapefruit, etc., when ripe have a high percentage of fruit sugar. Why gild the lily? Leave the sugar out and get the natural flavor.

For cooking frait sauces such prunes, apricots, apple or

rhubarb, the fruit should cooked without the addition of

a sweetening agent.

Remove from the heat, but add honey while it is still hot. The amount varies according to individual preferences. For sweetening and flavoring apple sauce try two or three tablespoons of honey for each cup of thick applesauce. For stewed prunes, add one tablespoon of honey per .cup of prunes.
