Junk Rally Collects Tons Of Scrap, Will ^ Reach Peak Saturday

(Continued from Page One) Chairman Swain appealed for more volunteers to help with the collection this Saturday. "We need more men and more trucks to make the house-to-house canvass. We have run into numerous instances where large and cumbersome articles caused the loss of a great deal of time which prevented our reaching all the Uections we had hoped to reach,”

Swain explained.

"If we can get more volunteers to help us with this drive on Satorday, I am sure that we can double or triple the size of Cape

May’s scrap pile.

"The public is cooperating wonderfully, and that cooperation is certainly appreciated fully. The public has awakened to the vital part each civilian has to play in this greatest of all war efforts. We have a job to do. We must back up our fighting men by providing the steel mills with scrap so they can turn out larger and larger quantities of munitions

and machinery of war.

"If we can get enough volunteers to help us collect the scrap that I know will be gladly donated by he general public, I am sure we can go far over the top In Cape May's junk rally/' Chairman continued. Committee members made special mention of the large amount of scrap material contributed by ■ pupils of the Cape May parochial achool. More than three large truckloads pf junk were collected at the school, and transferred to the city’s scrap pile, near the comer of Franklin and Washing- . ton streets. Besides the corps of volunteers who aided in the collection last Saturday, the Army unit at Cape May Point gave the committee the Use of some of its trucks. It was impossible to release Army personnel for the collection drive because all soldiers were engaged in a tactical problem at the time. Secretary of War Stimpson last week issued orders to all Army units to cooperate fully with local junk salvage committees by lending men and trucks for the

task.

Many Visitors At USD Club Sunday A large number of visitors were guests of service men at the Cape May USD Club on Sunday, and many attended the vesper service held during the afternoon.

Hawkes Replies To Smathers’ Blast Replying sharply to U. S. Sc ator William H. Smithers' charges that Albert W. Hawkes had "bought” the Republican nomination for U. S. Senate, the Montclair industrialist on Friday issued a statement in which he declared Smathers' charges were untrue. "The statement made by U. S. Senator William H. Smathers on Wednesday, last, insinuating that improper expenditures were made in my recent campaign is a fabrication,” Hawkes declared. "It is a clear indication of the kind of smear campaign which it is Mr. Smathers’ purpose to conduct between now and the general election November 3. "Serious thinking citizens whose paramount concern today is to aid in winning the war will regret that Mr. Smathers has chosen this time of grave crisis for political epithets and mud-sling-ing. It will be perfectly clear to them that Mr. Smathers resorts name-calling because he hopes by this method to distract public attention from his own bad record and thus secure for himielf another six years in the United States Senate. “Mr. Smathers is an expert in character assassination,” Hawkes continued. "He has been well schooled along these lines by some of his New Deal associates in Washington. The opening gun of his campaign is proof that he will employ in New Jersey the now familiar ruthless methods used by Deal to smear, punish and destroy—those who have the

l - and

certaiq/of its other policies.”

TRENTON — Motor Vehicle Commissioner Arthur W. Magee today called upon car owners to care for their registration plates since there will be no new issue for 1943 due to war priorities. "The present 1942 plates will have to do not only through 1943 but perhaps longer. depending upon war needs,” said the Com-

missioner.

“It behooves every car owner, therefore, to do eyerything possible tb preserve his plates so that they will remain plainly

legible for the duration.

"It is suggested that the plates

thoroughly cleaned of dirt,

grease or other blurring matter and then given an application of ordinary body wax or polish which will protect the paint against the ravages of heat, dust, rain and snow. Proper care, as outlined, will preserve the plates

indefinitely.”

In place of new plates next year, the Department will issue an ivory colored metal tab, serially numbered, which will be attached to the. lower end of the 1942 registration plate. It will be illegal to operate a motor vehicle on the highway after midnight, March 31, 1943, that does not display a metal tab attached to the 1942 plate. All cars that are operated withit the attachment will be considered, in the eyes of the law, as unregistered' vehicles and the owners subject to the customary heavy penalty of a fine not ex-

ceeding $100.

The city official spent some time in the hospital recently and returned home several weeks ago. A recurrence of his illness forced him to return to the Atlantic City institution. whJT ' ' treatment this i

Weae Seeking Vets' Hospital For Area

who for some time has strongly advocated a veterans’ hospital In South Jersey and who last year introduced Bill H.R. 8749 in the House of Representatives for the erection of such a hospital, is now malting a strenuous effort to bring about the realization of this project. His renewed efforts for this area are prompted by the contemplated government hospital expansion program and because of the huge Army and Navy development in South Jersey for the war effort. Hie Congressman said that in view of the importance of South Jersey as a strategic area in the war effort there is definite need for veteran hospitalization. He is bringing to the attention of General Frank T. Hines, Adminisrator of the Veterana Administration in Washington, in view of the fact that 30,000 or more young men are now being trained for the Army air forces in Atlantic City along with the increased activities of the Coast Guard and the tremendous Naval operations at Cape May, that there is now a real need for a veterans’ hospital.

The Navy's two hospital ships are white with green bands and red crosses to marie them as noncombatant.
