125 Volunteers Donate Blood To Red Cross

— Continued From Page One — Efficiency was the keynote of the entire collection drive. Entering the building, the volunteer was ushered into the reception room where Red Cross workers checked the donation schedule to see that each volunteer was on time. He was registered by two workers who made - records of name, address, age, telephone number, name of family ^ physician, and other pertinent information. -Registration completed, the volunteers were given tests by Red Cross nurses to determine the the blood pressure, temperature, pulse, type of blood, and were asked to give a brief history of arty recent illnesses. After drinking fruit juice, the L volunteers were ushered into the Ward room, where they were mediately prepared for donations by a corps of nurses attached to the toobile unit. Use of a local anesthetic obviated the possibility of any which might be incurred when arm was tapped for blood, and during the 10-minute interval that the donor was bleeding, nurses bustled about the room, keeping constant watch on the progress of each donor, preparing hypodermics for future donors and giving instructions to the volunteers. Following a brief rest period, the volunters were given light nourishment in the church kitchen by local Red Cross workers. Assisting with the blood donation work were members of all volunteer special sendees of the local Red Cross branch, including Staff Assistance, Canteen and Motor Corps. Miss Elizabeth Moran and Mrs. Edith N. Carroll, local Burses, assisted with testing donors, and Mrs. H. B. Merleary, county chairman of volunteer special services, served as gray lady. Expressing appreciation to all volunteers who gave blood, Clarence D. Fisher, local chairman of the blood donor committee, said that a number of volunteers were not called because the percentage of rejections was so small and because there were no long delays resulting from unfilled appointments. He expressed the hope that the mobile unit will return to Cape May within the next few months, at which time it is hoped to duplicate Monday's outstanding record.

— Continued From Page One — tee of other prominent women organized the National Navy Club. To continue the club’s work, Mrs. Hamilton went to Washington to suggest the designation of a day for the Navy, on which the Navy would be "at home”, and during which medals and other patriotic articles might be sold with the proceeds being devoted to the club’s work. The plan did not materialize as Mrs. Hamilton suggested. It was later that the Navy League proposed a Navy Day—of, by, and for the Navy—and the Navy League is the undisputed founder and perpetuator of Navy Day as it is known and celebrated today. The Navy League asked that the day be set aside to commemorate the ~Navy heroes of the Republic, the tradition of the United'States Navy and to keep alive in the mind of the public the needs and interests of the Navy.

Following this proposal, the conference between President Harding and Secretary Denby took place and, since 1922, October 27 has been celebrated Navy Day by the Fleet, Navy's shore establishment and by ,Navy ships and men wherever they may be. ’Through disarmament years and the period of general public apathy toward the Navy,' the Navy League strived mightili keep alive the spirit of Navy Day. The Navy itself held open house whenever it could and detailed ships of the Fleet to'visit coastal cities. Those ships were alv open for inspection, so that public might learn first-hand of the Navy’s first line of attack and defense. War-time restrictions this year —•e again keeping closed all Navy Yard and Naval establishments. The vessels of the Navy are on the battle-lines of the world. But Tuesday, October 27, is Navy Day, not less, but more so than

before.

Secretary Knox Praises Navy For Its Work In Present War

Commenting upon the observance of Navy Day this year. Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, said in part: “Navy Day this year means more than at any time in our history. It is a day of days on which we can pay just tribute to the brave men of our fleet who arc taking the battle to the enemy. At Pearl Harbor, soon after the war broke out) I saw the effects of the damage and I learned the grim determination of the men of our fleet to avenge the insult to our flag—to repay the Japs a thousand-fold for the murder and ruin they caused. "Today we are seeing the fruits of that determination. Whevcr the men of our fleets encounter the enemy, they are fighting ns only free men can fight. America appreciates the magnificent job they are doing. Keep up the good work, men of the fleet. The people believe in you, and have faith in you! “I am proud to say that all America appreciates the magnificent ^ob the Navy is doing; and America is expressing that gratitude by going 'all out’ in the Navy expansion program. The shipyards are turning out the ships and planes, and red-blooded patriots from the length and breadth of our land are voluntccr-

ing to man those ships and planes —anxious to become a part of our great Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps,” the Secretary concluded.

William Kokes Wins Army Promotion FORT BENNING, GA.—Promotion of Private William B. Kokes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl V. Kokes, of Cape May, to the rank of Technical Sergeant has been announced by his commanding officer. Lieutenant Colonel M. C. Snyder, of the 124th Infantry Regiment. The 124th Infantry Regiment is part of the Infantry School Service Command hcVri * The school, largest of its kind in the world, is the home of the Infantry Officer candidates. Officer candidates are selected from the ranks of privates, corporals and sergeants because of their superior ability. They must prove their leadership ability and must train and study diligently for three months nt the infantry school before receiving commissions as second lieutenants and leaders of platoons of 50 men.

Long Records Of Candidates Are Stressed

- Con-

“The incumbents in our county have demonstrated that they are men of independent judgment. They know the average man and his economic and social problems for they have lived with them and are part of them. "Their past services to the state and county, the services they can render in the future, makes it highly desirable that voters of our county cast their ballots for the Republican nominees.” Candidate for U. S. Senator Albert W. Hawkes and candidate for Congress Major General Benjamin Foulois are receiving tremendous ovations at the gatherings they attend, continued Mr.

Smith.

“We are fortunate in having men of the statures of Mr. Hawkes and General Fouleis who are willing to serve us in Washington in this crucial hour.” Mr. Hawkes is an outstanding industrialist, a man of wide experience, of high integrity, honor and ability. New Jersey Treat indui

ferably be

of such experS

Major General Foulois is a former chief of the U. S. Air Corps and organizer of the U. S. Air Force, and he is well qualified to represent the voters at Washington. During General Foulois’ leadership of the U. iS. Ait; Corps, until January 1936, he developed the Flying Fortress, the cargocarrying plane, aviation gasoline. He enlisted in the U. S. Army mck private in 1898 and irough the ranks to Major

General.

The candidates themselves this year will speak at district meetings as the holdings of any mass meetings in the various cities and boroughs will be discontinued. Qape May County is about to observe its 250th anniversary and never before in this county’s history has so much honor been be-* stowed on its present officials. Senator Scott has the distincm of being president of the Senate for two correecutive. years, 1941-42, the first time in 50 years that the same Senator has held that post for a similar period.

During this time Scott has been acting governor of New Jersey. Assemblyman Boswell is also the first Assemblyman from the county to be elected Speaker of the House which position he has

held this year.

Surrogate Fitch is believed to be the only official in the county who has occupied that office for over twenty years. He is regarded as the dean of surrogates with a rich background in office affairs. Director Jackson has brought honor to the county by being the first from Cape May County to be elected president of the New Jersey Association of Chosen Freeholders in 1941, and was re-

elected again this year.

Freeholder Stevens can well be labeled a wizard in finances, capably handling the county’s financial problems. This year he was chosen a member of the allimportant South Jersey Port

Commission.

With the business-like administration which the incumbents have conducted, the officials will continue to give the taxpayers of Cape May County efficient and economical government, Smith

concluded.

great industrial state should preferably be represented by a man

rience.

Old Sword Given To Salvage Committee A sword of 19th century vintage, was donated, yesterday to Cape May’s scrap' metal salvage campaign after having been kept for years as a family memento. Mrs. Harry B. Hand,, of 833 Washington street, owner of the sword, presented it to Charles A. Swain, local salvage committee chairman, to be added to Cape May’s contribution of scrap materials. The sword originally belonged to Captain Percival Frazer May, cousin of Mrs. Hand, who was member of the New York National Guard. It was worn by him when he and Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Jefferson Davis, the Confederate, led a grand march at a ball in honor of Confederate veterans and Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy in New York during the 1880’s. Cape May will be canvassed for scrap materials again on Saturday when the local committee and volunteers will make another drive as part of the county scrap harve^ now under way.
