Canal Project Dredge Passes Bayshore Road COLD SPRING — A milestone in the construction of the Cspe May County canal was reached early Sunday morning when the huge pipeline dredge "Baltimore swung through the Bayshore Road in its cross-county course toward Cape May Harbor. Preceded by dynamiting and aceompanfed by collapse of the hard-packed road bed as the dredge’s agitator chewed its way into the high land, crossing of the Bayshore Road marked one of the milestones in the construction approximately 40 per cent jf the dredging operations completed, the large dredge continued [ts cumbersome march through what until a few weeks ago was woodland, and it is expected that it will traverse the land between he Bayshore Road and the Shunpike within the next few days. As the dredge progresses, property owners whose lands and buildings are in the canal route ire speeding work and preparations for the removal or demolition of their structures to make way for the canal. A considerable number of houses have already been moved from he canal route to new locations ihort distances from their orignal sites. A number of others have been ind are. being razed. Meanwhile, large crews ol workmen are working on contim lous shifts’ to rush the project to ompletion. It was estimated this week that construction of the three bridges which will span the canal is apiroximatdy 10 per cent com-

ilcted.

On the Cape May Harbor end if the canal route, construction if the temporary bridge which will be built over the canal is iroceeding rapidly. The re-aligned loute 4 will be elevated considrably with long approaches to he span, to give sufficient dear--tnce so the bridge will not be equired to open for small craft isssing through the waterway. A large group of Lower Townhip citizens and officials, at a neeting last Wednesday evening, dopted a resolution urging the onstruction of a bridge over the iayshore Road. Copies of the reslution were sent to this district’s epresentatives in Washington nd Trenton, and to the War Delartment engineers who are i harge of the canal construction. Unless such a bridge is erected, he canal will make a dead end or both sections of the Bayshore Load. Township residents contend hat such a situation would reult in considerable inconvenience o them. Dredging operations Were startd in Delaware Bay on July 27, nd the "Baltimore” has worked ontinuouslw since that time, and undreds of thousands of cubic ards of mud and sand have been iken from the canal and spread ver a wide spoil area. iommunion Service it Church Sunday COLD SPRING — The Cold pring Presbyterian Church will bserve Holy Communion next unday morning. The service will tart at 10:30. The Communion service is being eld one week earlier in order to Uow the Rev. William Bullock, astor of the church, to take the hole month of October for his acation. During Mr. Bullock’s absence, le pulpit will be supplied for »e morning service.

Blood Donors Sought For October 19 Drive

(Continued from Page One) to volunteer as blood donors. Chairman Fisher pointed out that only one pint of blood is taken from each donor. He stressed the fact that removal of such a small quantity of blood had no bad effect on the donor, “Undoubtedly everyone is familiar with the important work being done by physicians with blood plasma in treating victims of catastrophics or casualties of war, and is willing to donate a pint of blood which he will never miss,” Fisher said. "It is of the utmost importance that at least 150 volunteers be registered before October 1 in order to assure the Red Cross headquarters of sufficient contributions to warrant sending . the mobile unit to Cape May.” Briefly outlining the procedure of taking blood donations, Fisher

said:

"The donor lies down on a cot, the arm at the elbow is cleansed with iodine and alcohol, and a drop of novocaine is injected to prevent any pain. The doctor introduces a hollow needle into the vein and through the small tube attached the blood flows into a bottle. At the end of the donation, a sterile dressing is applied and the.donor rests for 10 minutes'. The complete operation takes about 45 minutes. "No special preparation is required before a donation is made, except that donors should not eat fatty food, such as cream, butter or other fats for four hours prior to making the donation. “The donor is safeguarded. The blood is drawn under the direction of competent physicians. Thousands of donors have given their blood without harm. “The donor is given nourishment by the Red Cross Canteen Service after the blood is drawn, rests for a few minutes, and then resume his usual activities.

“The blood is sent to a laboratory where it is processed into dried plasma, made ready 'for use as a transfusion and' deUvered to the Army and'Kav/ for distribution. "Blood plasma transfusions are made under an entirely new method and prove better in many cases than regular blood transfusions. No blood-typing is n sary; the plasma keeps for j and can be administered al immediately. “Blood may be donated every eight weeks if the donor desires. The blood is fully replaced in less time and six, eight and ten donations have been - given without harm by numerous people. “As a service to the donor the blood is ‘typed’ and the donor informed of his or her blood group. This information may be of great value to the donor in some future emergency involving own life or a friend's. Any healthy man or woman between the ages of 21 and €0 in be a voluntary blood donor. Fisher cited a statement made by the National Rpd Cross ccntly: “A pint of your blood easily and painlessly given, may save the life of an American soldier sailor. You, then, have saved life offered for the defense of liberty—not by gift of money, or clothing, or time, or services—but by giving directly and literally of yourself for our national defense.” He also quoted an excerpt from recent issue of The Reader’s Digest, which $aid: "Here is a gift which, unlike money, unlike time or even work, is a part of yourself. A gift most literally from your heart straight to the heart of another — to an American soldier or sailor who may live to help save all you count precious in this world because you took one simple, generous step to help save him.’’

EDITOR’S NOTE: With several new extra-curricular activities being added to existing ones at Cape May High School to acquaint students with the fundamentals of radio, navigation and airplane construction, The Star and Wave proposes to publish series of feature articles, beginning with this issue, explaining the work being done in these new

activities.

Launched on intensive. extracurricular study of marine and pre-flight navigation, 28 Cape May High School students this week arc swinging into problems encountered by sailors and aviators, as the new war-time activity program of the school gets

under way.

Nineteen boys are enrolled for o marine navigation course and _ ne are taking the pre-flight navigation course, both of which ore taught during activities periods. Dr. Edward E. Pickard, city school superintendent, is instruc-

tor of both classes.

At present the marine navigation course is engaged in the construction of a liquid compass and is studying compass deviation and variation in an attempt to show how to correct the compass before plotting a true course. The students are going into problems of navigation wmere it is necessary to find a position when an imaginary ship has traveled over different courses. The study of dead reckoning is expected to be completed during the first semester this year, and the group will take up celestial navigation during the second semester, Dr. Pickard said. A sample problem, similar to those which the class is con-

fronted, follows:

A ship departs from port hi latitude 20 degrees, 12 minutes north, longitude eight degrees, 16 minutes east, and a bearing is taken on a known fixed object by compass 340 degrees at 12 miles distance with a ship's head

the ship steers 225 degrees for 40 miles; 260 degrees for 41 miles and 286 degrees for 42 miles. There is a current set and drift of 90 degrees magnetic and 12 miles per day, with different compass deviations and variations given for each course. The student must find the true course of the ship and the distance made good and the position of the

ship.

Students taking the marine navigation course are William Burgin, Edward Coleman, Ralph Gallagher. Robert Hollingsead, Bolton Le Gates, T. L. Lemmon, Jack Trout, Bud Stevens, William Weinberger, Harvey Williams, Wilson Rea. Leonard Holloway, Donald Bailey, Joseph Pocher, Charles Weckman, Charles Hoffman, Shull Rutherford, Amsbry Brooks and Ray Shaki. In the pre-flight navigation course, the students are learning the principles of navigation. It is planned to have this group begin construction of a glider after the fundamentals of navigation have been mastered, and to seek affiliation with the Soaring So’ety of America. Present plans contemplate completion of the glider sometime during the school year of 1943-44 and the airship will be used to give students a practical groundwork in aviation. Those enrolled in the pre-flight ivigation course are Fred Chambers, Camick Hamperian, Bernard Hillman, A. Phillips, Robert Sayre, Bud Stevens. Jack Trout, Alfred Vanaman, Ralph Gallagher and William HilL The courses are patterned after those being taught at Naval training stations throughout the country and are designed to giv« students a groundwork upon which to build future education Object of the war-time extracurricular activities is to impress students with the growing importance of aviation both during

Represent County At Observers’ Meeting ERMA — Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Corson, of Erma, Ralph Evans, of Cape May Court House, and Dr. Joseph Levenson, of Woodbine, represented Cape May County airplane spotters at a recent conference in Asbury Park. The session was attended by ground and chief observers from all sections of New Jersey, and was called to discuss common problems encountered by observers. Leonard Drev-fuss, state defense director, was one of the principal speakers at the conference which was held in the Asbury Park Legion Home. A demonstration of various types of observation work was given as part of the meeting, and Mrs. Corson exhibited a poster showing photographs of observers and accomplishments of the local observer corps. Mrs. Corson is chief observer of the Erma observation post, which cover* the southern tip of Cape May County for the Army’s Interceptor' Command.

Sailing Ship Model At County Museum COURT HOUSE — The Cape May County Historical Museum at the county seat has received for display a scale model of the “Pruessen”, largest and fastest sailing vessel ever built. The mode! is 133 times smaller than the original, but is complete in every detail. Its larger counterpart was 438 feet long, and of steel construction. She was five-masted and square-rigged, carrying 47 sails for a total of 60,000 square feet of canvas. Her maximum speed was recorded at ISA knots per hour. ' ‘ i The model at the museum was made by Henry Tiedmann, a cabinet maker, of Wildwood CresL He began work on the model in 1912 and completed it in 1915. It is enclosed m a glass case.
