Big Hallowe’en Parade, Dance Here Saturday — continued From Page One — Community Club and the Kiwanis

Club.

Cape May High School students will be dressed in almost anything from overalls to rye bread in the parade. Miss Stanton's home room group of Freshmen are going to show how modernized the present world is: they'll be robots in the parade. Have youibought your war bond? ? If y&& haven’t Miss Fidler’s Sophomores will remind you to stop on your way home for some. An “all-ouf*- campaign for war bonds is their theme. After the bond sale. Miss Holliday’s Sophomores will have a hayride . . . with Mrs. Schellenger’s F'rcshmen as their guests. Any old rags, old metals, old rubbers? If so, bring them out and tag along with Mr. Shill’s Sophomore group. They're out to boost the scrap drive. Did you ever see a sandwich walking? Well, Mrs. Bennett did. She saw her entire home room dressed as sandwiches and thought it a good idea to have them parade. Those Sophomores will look good between slices of bread. The Alpha and Omega of the whole parade will be Seniors who will sell programs. When you see a Senior coming, just dig in your pocket for a dime and you’ll get a program and a smile. Saturday Cape May High School will be "all-out for fun". All school groups will parade in home-room units under, the direction of teachers. To climax the Hallowe’en fete, a marked ball will be held at Convention Hall Saturday night, starting at 8:30. Many prizes will be awarded to winners of various divisions for costumes. Music for the dance will be furnished by the Bluejackets, a dance orchestra composed of Navy men stationed

here.

Refreshments will be sold by the Band Mothers’ Association, and proceeds from the dance and refreshment concession will go toward the purchase of band uniforms. The Lafayette Street School is working overtime to remove parade spectators, like Aladdin, out of today and into a world of make-believe. Mother Goose and all of her relatives from Little Red Riding Hood to Mickey Mouse will appear in the parade. Tempting and delicious foods will pass in a manner to show the public how to make the body a soldier fighting disease. The armed forces— masculine and feminine—will be represented in miniature. How New Jersey supplies work for its people from its own resources will be shown. At the last, the spirit of America’s fight for freedom as represented by war workers, will leave a feeling of pride with spectators.

His answer to the challenge in this time of great national peril, has been to conduct a campaign which represents a calculated effort to arouse class hatred and to spread suspicion and disunity throughout this state. "It is the political responsibility tif the people in times of nationsl peril, such as these, to retire from public life those who, like Mr. Smathers, seek to set one group against' another and selfishly attempt to promote their own political fortunes by using the
