PAGE FOUR Scott To Seek Support For State Waterway (Continued from Pa** One) at m time when they are at a premium, and the cost of land acquisition which would have to be borne by the state of New Jersey would run into the millions. “In the face of all these obBtacles, I feel that the present agitation for a canal from the , Delaware to the fw;a is doomed to failure until after the national emergency has passed*!' Scott ' .explained. "As a representative of Cape May County I am Opposed to such a project when the same results could be obtained at an infini- . teafmal fraction of the cost by improvement of the existing inland waterway facilities between Cape May and Manasquan. “With the Cape May County canal which is now well under construction, the New Jersey inJand waterway could easily be 1 osed for coastwise marine traffic. "When our canal is completed it ' will be possible for barges laden with oil and .other vital products to traverse the entire Atlantic const from Florida to the metropolitan cast without going outside," Scott said. ‘‘This is in accordance with President Rooscadt’s plan for transportation recommendations. "The improvement of the waterway to make this possible would cost comparatively little, and would be principally a matter •f dredging 'deeper and wider channels to permit larger craft to navigate. There would be no demand for vital materials such as would be entailed by the proposed ship canal. The safety factor of the inland waterway would be equal to that of the crossatate canal, and the time required for. completion of the project would be infinitely shorter than that for the canal project,” Scott . explained. The Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association, of which J. Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia, is president, has long advocated a canal across the upper section of New Jersey. In the past it has actively opposed proposals for a canal across the tip of Cape May County. Philadelphia and other metropolitan acreas in the vicinity of the proposed cross-state canal bavc recently filed protests S inst the project, pointing out t its construction would imperil their water supplies.

This includes grocery stores, hardware and paint stores, gasoline aervice stations and garages which aeQ kerosene at retail, as well as fuel oil dealers. Rationing officials alsq pointed •ut that in addition to those us* ing fuel oil, consumers who use kerosene for such domestic, inatitutiunal and agricultural uses as in stoves, ranges, lamps, farm machinery and equipment, brooders and farm trucks will have to fill out application forms in order to be able to purchase, kerosene under the rationing program. When fuel oil and .kerosene dealers register and file inventory statements on October 20 and 21 they will be given sufficient consumer application forms to distribute among their customers.

(Continued from Page Ons) 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday. A doctor, six nurses and other Red Cross workers will be in attendance at the donation center. Each donor will give a pint of blood, from which life-restoring plasma is obtained for use in treating casualties of war or disaster. ■"This appeal for blood donations," Mr. Fisher declared, “gives every able bodied citizen of Cape May and vicinity a chance to help our men on the .battlefields and at sea. The first. World War piled up huge mortality lists.. In many cases, this was because at critical moments there was not sufficient blood for life-saving transfusions. Confused conditions in the wake of battle are such it is virtually impossible to obtain . adequate quantities of whole fresh blood, properly typed and ready for use. ‘‘Plasma is medicine's .answer to the cruel needs of war transfusions, and for peacetime dis-

aster work as well. All who donate to this cause will be . forming a patriotic service of the highest type,” Mr. Fisher assured donors that th technique is simple and after a short rest the donor feels as fit as ever. Volunteers should be between 21 and 60 years of age and in good health. Blood plasma processed from whole blood collected by the Red Cross has already been distributed to United States ships and fighting forces operating in the Atlantic and Pacific war areas, and the efficacy of plasma transfusions at Pearl Harbor and elsewhere has been widely praised by Army, Navy and civilian doctors. Hundreds of thousands of additional donations will be required, however, ‘if the armed forces are to be fully supplied. The only preparation donors need to make is to refrain from eating fatty foods for at least four hours prior to giving blood.
