Local Fetes To Mark County’s Anniversary COURT HOUSE — Suggesting that each community give some reeongnition, no matter how brief, on or before November 12th, to the 260th anniversary of the founding of Cape May County, Percy H. Jackson, Director of the Board of Freeholders and of the comity’s publicity department, this week urged in view of gas

■tncxiy iocai,The schools, Mr. Jackson said, are the best places for the observance of the historic event. To encourage school celebrations commemorating the county’s birth, and also to acquaint boys and • girls with important facts about the county, the Board of Freeholders, under his supervision, will present to the schools late this month, for distribution to each pupil, a little booklet containing a short, concise, chronological history of Cape May County. Now in preparation, the booklet should, he announced, be in the hands of all school principals before November 1. In asking the cooperation of principals, teachers and pupils in appropriately observing the anniversary, Director Jackson pointed out that varied and interesting programs, brief or more lengthy, may be built around the county's history. He again emphasized the advisability, in keeping with the times, of making them, insofar as participants are concerned, completely local. Each community has a number •f good speakers, if it is deemed desirable to include anyone outside the school on the program. Where seating capacity permits, parents, friends and the public in general could be invited to attend. The county historical exhibit that was on display last week in •ne of the windows of Stainton’s Department store, Ocean City, attracted much attention. The exhibit is being Shown this week in Cape May, and next week will be moved to Wildwood. It is built around a large book, the pages of which, depicting historic places in the county, are turned automatkaliy, one by one. When the last page is reached, all of the leaves are turned back and the process starts over again. “We regret," said mr. Jackson, “that the elaborate program of parades, pageants and festivals, planned a year ago for the week of November 9th this year, cannot be held: but even without the gas and rubber shortages they would hardly be fitting now, when we are engaged in a struggle to save our nation and all that it atands for. “It would, however, certainly be unwise to permit the occasion to pass without any observance. After all, we are living in a county in which all of us, young and eld, should be justly proud. It has, too, a history of which we niay be equally proud. Let us give some thought to it in the coming week.”

Story Of Navy

Outlined

Day

Navy Day was first sponsored by the Navy League of the United States, a volunteer association of individuals, who seek to place information concerning the Navy before the public, and since that time the official approval and cooperation of practically all patriotic and veterans’ organizations have been offered in support of the observance of the day. The sponsors of Navy Day have aought to establish at least one day in the year when the people will turn their thoughts in a special way to what their Navy means to them, when special articles will be timely in the press, and when tribute can be paid to the past and present services of

the Navy to the nation.

October 27 has been celebrated as Navy Day because it is the anniversary of;the birth of President Theodore Roosevelt, so much of whose life was devoted to establishing a sound naval policy for the United States of America. It will ibe remembered that President Roosevelt first achieved a national reputation by writing a naval history of the war of 1812, a work of such merit that It was incorporated into Clowe’s Royal Navy, a monumental - history of the British sea service. Later, as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and finally, as president, Theodore Roosevelt bent his tremendous energies to impress upon the American people the necessity for nn adequate navy, and through his leadership

to realize this ideal.

October 27 is also the birthday of the American Navy because on that day in 1776, the first resolution to authorize American warships was introduced into the Continental Congress, which measure was passed three days later. Navy Day was first celebrated in 1922. Thus this 1942 Navy Day is the twenty-first, and is the first Navy Day ever to bo celebrated while the United Statee is

at War.
