Boards Prepare To Ration Fuel Oil For Winter (Cootinned from Par* One) StaU- OPA headquarters also gave rationing boards a plan for the distribution of new supplemental B and C gasoline ration books to replace those which expire on October 22. According to the distribution plan holders of B and C books which are due to expire on that date will receive by mail a simple one-page form entitled "Supplementary Information for Renewal of Gasoline Rations." On this form the applicant will be required to enter his speedometer reading, the number of occupational miles he has driven during the last 60 days, hit estimated occupational mileage for the three months beginning October 22, and whether he has changed his address, occupation, or car-sharing plan since his original application. Enclosed with this form will be a postal card on which the applicant must write his name and address, and an envelope addressed to the board in which he may return the application and the

card.

The. card will be used by the board to notify the applicant when he may come and pick up his ration book. When he does so he will be reminded that .the rationing regulations require him to return his old book five days after its expiration together with any unused stamps it contains. He will be permitted to return Hie old book by mail. Rationing headquarters announced that the October quota for automobiles is 957, and for bicycles 3,094.

City Officials Lauded For Reducing Liquor Sale Hours

I am confident that experience in Cape May City will demonstrate that the action which the city has taken in fixing an earlier hour will be of material assistance to the commanding officers in their work in

the area.

It has been suggested that such curfews are not I helpful to morale and that if the men in uniform are to be asked to leave licensed premises at a certain time, civilians ought to be willing £0 make the same sacrifice and leave at the same time.

CAPE MAY SCRAP DRIVE NETS 60 TONS; FOLLOW-UP PLANNED (Continued from Page One) Swain said, “we are not concluding the salvage of scrap metals and rubber in Cape May. This is a job which has no set quota and no specified time. It is up to every one of us as true Amer- . icans to assist with the salvaging of scrap materials at all times and to’ continue our salvaging efforts not just for a week or a month but for the duration of the war, for the nation’s factories Which are turning out armaments and implements of war arc going to require a steady flow of scrap metals in order to assure uninter-

not covered in your ordinance amendment. Unless there is closing hour requirement in addition to the hours of sale previsions, proper enforcement is difficult if not impossible. I suggest that the Board of Commissioners consider seriously the adoption, at the first convenient opportunity, of a further amendment to the following effect: " ‘During the hours sales are prohibited, the entire licensed premises shall also be closed.’ "If it is desired that restaurants and hotels shall be allowed to remain open to conduct their businesses other than the sale of alcoholic beverages, the following may be added to the closing hour

provision:

provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to bona fide restaurants or hotels.” “Kindly bring this letter to the attention of the Board of Commissioners," Driscoll con-

Bulk of the scrap collected this city's campaign was added to the scrap pile at the salvage depot on Saturday, September 19, and Saturday, September 26, opening and closing days of the campaign. On those dates, committee members and volunteers made a comprehensive house-to-house canvass of the community and Cape May Point to gather scrap. Truckload after truckload of junk was hauled to the salvage depot by the volunteer corps of Workers. Many local citizens took scrap to the depot scrap pile. A large quantity of scrap collected by the Misses Brown, ol 908 Columbia avenue, was added, to the scrap pile. The material was collected from lots along

Speeders Warned Of License Revocation TRENTON — Motorists exceeding the 35-mile-an-hour wartime speed limit established in New Jersey by Governor Charles - .Edison's proclamation recently might even lose their driving privilege, Edison said Friday. The Governor said he had heard reports from some quarters that his proclamation was “without teeth" because it was not an actual law enacted by the legislature.. Writing to State 'Motor Vehicle Commissioner Arthur W. Magee, Edison urged strict enforcement of the new speed limit, a reduction from 40 miles an hour, and said: “In addition to any other penalty that may. be imposed (such as a fine) you have, as you know, the power to revoke any registration certificate or any driver certificate for a violation of any of the provisions of the subtitle of the revised statutes relating to motor vehicles, or on any other reasonable grounds . ." The Governor interpreted his proclamation a s, “reasonable grounds" for relocations. “May I suggest that you‘work out details of an arrangement whereby any violations of the war-time speed limit will be reported to you at once for appropriate action."

Learning the theory of aeronautics and the intricacies of miniature airplane construction, 23 Cape May High School students—rr bers of the newly organized model airplane club—are devoting hours of extra time to the building of scale model planes. Since the start of the 1942-43 school year, the boys have begun construction of a wide variety of models, covering the range of the better known aircraft types of the present. To date only preliminary work has been done by the dub, but the preparation has entered the realm of minute detail. Club members are laying out their individual projects, studying blueprints and drawings, end are curing out the innumerable tiny parts which, when assembled, will combine to make exact duplicates, in miniature, of present day airplanes. The model plane club is one of four new extra-curicular activities added in Cape May High School this year to impress students with the growing importance of aviation, while at the same time giving them basic instruction in a number of skills and sciences, preparing them to take important parts in the world of wings which is expected to follow the present war. Under the tutelage of William H. Stevens, veteran manual training instructor in the local schools, the students are acquainting themselves with the use of various tools, schooling themselves to the precision required in such work and learning the fundamentals of airplane construction. Model plane construction in the

school workshop is not new. Last year, in response to a request from the U. S. Navy for thousands of model planes to be used in Navy schools to instruct men in plane identification. Cape May students produced some 300 models, of which 40 were accepted by the Navy as this community's proportionate share of the total. Deeply interested in their work the boys arc pursuing what has become a hobby with many of them. No less interested in the models is Mr. Stevens, who takes great pride in the craftsmanship of his students and who is enthusiastic over the possibilities of such work from an educational stand“The four .new activities under Cape May High School’s war-tim« activity program (marine navigation, pre-flight navigation, radio and model plane construction) were recommended this week by the National Education Association for schools throughout the country,” said Mr. Stevens. “Cape May has the jump on many other schools by having already started on such a program this year.” Students who are members of the model plane club are Bernard Hillman, George Feitz, Baylcn Kaskey, David Fox, Jack Needles, Marshal Howey. David Hart, Donald Pocher, Wilson Rea, William Showald, Clarence White, James Wellman. Raymond Brown. Martin Blacknell, Clarence Cooper, William Blacknell, Robert Randolph, Dixon Ouram.

Funds Allotted By Legislature TRENTON — The New Jersey Legislature, after a summer-long recess, acted on appropriations of state funds amounting- to nearly 8900.000 on Monday. The largest single grant was 8650.000 which the Senate approved for construction of buildings at the Skill man Village for Epileptics, the Woodbine Colony for Feeble-Minded Males and the Vineland School for Feeble-Mind-

ed Females.

The bill previously had passed the Assembly and now goes to Governor Edison. Appropriations receiving both Senate and Assembly approval were: 825,000 from relief funds for rehabilitation of draftees rejected for minor physic&l disabilities; 815,000 for expenses of the State Adjutant General in connection with absentee voting by men in the armed services; 812,000 additional for the commission on advancement of the urban colored

population.

Appropriations passed by the Assembly were: $50,000 for purchase of State Police barracks on the White Horse Pike near Hammonton; $18,000 to the State Treasurer to pay employees previously paid from other sources; $26,372 to bind and publish New Jersey Chancery and Law reports; $6,000 to the State Comptroller to institute central pay-

roll procedure.

Wene Bill Proposes U. S. Superhighways WASHINGTON — Congressman Elmer H. Wene last week introduced H.R. 7601, a bfl] calling for a federal superhighways sys-

defense in time of war and for government and commercial by automobiles in time of peace. “The building of 25,000 miles of such new superhighways, connecting all centers of traffic in every state in the union, with three main lines east and west and seven north and south would require the well remunerated vices of millions of munition workers and veterans for three to five years during the perilous readjustment period after the war," Wene explained yesterday in a statement. “The cost of 10 to 15 billion dollars, dependent upon prevailing labor costs and materials would be liquidated by means of tolls, at the same time giving the government handsome profits." Another important factor was emphasized by Wene. All patrons of the superhighways would receive a 100 per cent benefit profit on the amount of all tolls paid, by saving fuel, time, pense and depreciation. Patrons would also have absolute assurance of scientific safety against head-on collisions; hitting pedestrians, animals and other obstacles, grade-crossing accidents, wreck of automobile and personal

injury.

“For financial precedents,

would like to point to the Holland Tunnel, Philadelphia-Camden

... , • . Bridge and the Pennsylvanii which also passed a bill permit- Turnpike,” Wene said. “All are ,^ e , enrollment in the State showing generous profits to the Guard of men up to the age of statcs and gerring a definite pur-

oo and reducing the minimum age •» for enrollment from 18 to 17 years. The three bills were intro-

duced by Senator Stanger.
