On Viewy (Day, Ociabuh 27 October 27 has been set aside as Navy Day, a day on which we pay tribute to the brave men of our fleet. There is no need to tell anyone how important the Navy' is to us, or what a heroic job its men have been doing out there on the high seas. Every few days brings new tales of heroism, of bravery far beyond the call of duty. And there, are countless more acts of outstanding valor that will be performed by Navy officers and Bluejackets before our final victory is won. Whether at the controls of dive bombers, manning the big guns of a mighty battleship, at the periscope of a submarine, or guarding the Merchant Marine the men of our Navy and its other fighting arms, the Coast Guards and the Marines, are giving a splendid account of themselves wherever the enemy is encountered. They are fighting for you—for all of us; risking their lives to repel the fiendish hordes that would overrun us-and subject those of us who are left behind to the fate of the overrun countries of Europe and Asia. Standing between us and that cruel fate is the United States Navy and its men. Not only have they hurled back the enemy that sought to crush us with one foul blow, but they are carrying the battle to the enemy—paving the way for invasion. And so, for this Navy Day, 19-12, the Navy League of the United States has adopted the slogan: “Your Navy—First Line of Attack”. We cannot all serve on the battle line. "But we can at least do our small part by.letting the men who are serving know they are not forgotten at home—that we who are' left .behind are not ungrateful to them. So let’s everybody who can join in the tribute to the men of our fighting fleet. In connection with Navy Day, 1942, the Secretary of the Navy has the following to say: "Navy day this year means more than at any other time in our history. It is a day of days on which we can rededicate our best efforts to our common cause as we pay tribute to the brave men of our fleet who are taking the battle to the enemy. Every American is proud of those men—they have earned every American’s utmost gratitude". In previous years, the ships of our battle fleet participated spectacularly in the celebration with banners flying and men and officers in full dress uniform parading the decks. This year there will be no naval parade, no full dress uniforms. For our ships, in drab war paint, are out there on the high seas, their big guns roaring death and destruction on the enemy. And our battle-begrimed seamen are in the midst of the hell of shot and shell that is modern naval warfare. The shipyards are working night and day turning out mighty new fighting ships, and red-blooded Americans are volunteering by the thousands to man those ships on the fighting line—to join that fighting Navy of ours. Let those of us who are left behind resolve on this Navy Day to give them our full support in every possible way. Certainly we can do no less. Let us show our willingness to serve by gladly paying tribute to the men of our fleet. To Your Navy —First Line of Attack!

( l^ouA Oppo’duniiy, XaduLi! An urgent appeal for Cape May women to take a direct part in the nation’k war effort was sounded last week by officers of the Cape May Branch of the American Red Cross. With a large quota of surgical dressings which must be made for Army and Navy use, the local branch is desperately in j need of women workers who will contribute some time each weejj^o the making of the dressings. v- In a statement issued by branch officers, it was explained that only a comparatively few women are working on the surgical dressing projcctv The task is one which requires many willing hands in order to be accomplished swiftly and on schedule. Here, ladies of Cape May, is an opportunity for you To serve your country. By volunteering your services, even for only a brief time each week, you will be doing your part in the war effort. You will be serving just as truly as if you wore the uniform of the WAVES or the WAACS.- You will be behind the men behind the guns . . . It’s a vitally important job. With American fighting men under fire in all parts of the world, preparing for the great offensive which must result in ultimate victory for the United Nations, there 4iave been many casualties. There will be more, for war is a grim business. The nation is doing its best to provide our fighting men with the best possible equipment, care and attention. The Red Cross is doing extremely valuable work -in providing surgical dressings among the many other sendees which are rendered by this great organization. But without the patriotic cooperation of all of u's at home, .these services will fail. The Red Cross is composed . of thousands of local branches similar to ours. Their members are housewives, mothers, working men and women. They are sacrificing time and effort to do their part to help the fighting men we have in the field. We must do our part in order to bear our proportionate share of the task. Here js an opportunity for every woman in Cape May to do her bit V - Go to the Red Cross headquarters today and volunteer YOUR services. They will be appreciated not only by the volunteers who are now engaged in the project, but by the men for whom the dressings are being made.

&/>e S TARBOARD WATCH By G Worthy OH, BOY : NAVY DAY ! Tuesday, October 27, is . Navy Day . . . As if you didn't know after a brief squint at this week’s Star and Wave. Seriously, Cape May should go . . . and is going . . . all-out for Navy Day. After all this community is practically a Navy totvn, and even if it weren’t, the men of Uncle Sam’s Navy deserve all the tribute we civilians can give them. They’re a swell bunch of fellows doing a swell job for a • swell country. Thumbs up, Navy! NAVY TRADITION - And just to show that this colyum is all for the Navy, we're not even going to tattle about some of the woo-pitchin’ we’ve seen hercaliouts recently involving some of the boys in blue and some local gals. No, sir! .Not a word this week. After all, the Navy has a tradition to uphold . . BIG BLOOD DONATION The way local folks contributed pints of blood on Monday certainly proves beyond doubt that they're all for backing up the men on the fighting fronts. That blood donation eampaigs. carried out by the Red Cross was an outstanding ess, and the blood donated in Cape May will help to swell the stores of blood plasma which are being accumulated for life-saving use o>i the firing lines. STRANGER THAN FICTION "What were you in the last nr," he asked. “I was a private,’’ the war veteran answered. And so Diogenes blew out his lamp and went home. PRETTY PICK LB The Oregonian, Portland newslaper. gave this report on the mrvest situation: “Pickle packers’ prospects of ‘getting pickle pickers to pick pickles for pickle packers to pack are poor. Fickle pickers let pickles go to pot to partake of pleasanter pickins’ in war production. Leaving pickle packers without pickles to pack and in a pretty pickle." SOME STUFF man went to the bar and ordered a Martini, drank it, chewed thcfbowl of the glass up, and threw'the stem over his shoulder. He continued this for about six Martinis and- noticed that the bartender was staring at him. "I guess you think I’m crazy, don’t you?’’ he asked. “I sure do,” the bartender replied. “The stems are the best part". COUNTY’S BIRTHDAY Citizens of Cape May County will soon have the distinction of living in a county which has been officially organized as Such for 250 years. While the war has knocked out plans for an elaborate anniversary celebration, the anniversary will be observed quietly. There aren't many counties in thfs country that have operated under organized county governments for two and a half centuries. We should bo proud to live in a county with a background like that.
