(Z Oaluabk CULdiium, # The recent announcement that the miUion-dollar chemical plant of the Northwest Magnesite Company will begin full production December 1 marks a milestone in the progress of this locality. Largest industrial enterprise in Cape May County, the magnesite plant is one of the first ventures of "big business" in this area. As such, it gives rise to the possibility that others in the course of time

will follow.

The magnesite plant is not merely a war-time industry which will last only for the duration. It is a permanent enterprise, producing a material which will be of importance as long as steel is important, for the dead-burned magnesite that will be produced here is used extensive-

ly in the manufacture of steel and other metals.

Cape May County has much to offer "big business”. Undoubtedly other enterprising concerns could find valuable natural elements in Cape

May County as the Northwest Magnesite Company has.

Regardless of that consideration, Cape May County offers an ideal location for large industrial enterprises. Its proximity to the centers of population, the possibility of using water, rail or highway transportation facilities, the not too remote possibility of harnessing some of the vast amount Of “water power that is in this area, the moderate pHmate, excellent living conditions .... All of these things combine to make

Cape May County an ideal location.

Sooner or later “big business" will recognize these advantages. It is not inconceivabl! that after the war “big business” will take these facts into consideration, and , if the general trend is toward continued decentralization of large plants, the possibility that other enterprises

will be established in this locality is not too slim.

The history of American industry shows that in the majority of

cases, once a new location is established by one firm, it is not long until others follow suit. That is what built Detroit » nd Chicago and other

large cities. It could happen here on a smaller scale . . . Even disregarding the possibility of a future influx of industry after

the war, the Northwest Magnesite Company's local plant is of great

importance to this area. While the number of permanent employ'

will not be large, the industry will result in a substantia) payroll being added to the total income of the community, a fact which will be even

more significant after the present emergency has passed. Vlfit Only d flight... (Duty, Saturday, November 28, has been designated as the final day for

permanent registration of voters in Cape May County. After that date, any eligible voter who has not been registered under the new permanent registration law must cither register next year with his

municipal clerk or be denied the privilege of voting.

On the final registration day, registrars will be at each polling place in the county from 1 to 9 p. m. to handle the special registration. At North and South Cape May, the hours will be slightly different be-

cause of the small number of eligible voters.

Inauguration of theVw system of registration will eliminate the old procedure of house-to-house canvasses by district election board members, which at best was an unsatisfactory arrangement. It also eliminates the possibility of registering and voting on the same day, a , practice which in some sections of the state has been badly abused’in

the interests of political machines.

a Pr ° babl> ' a ^ thin * state as a whole. While we, like the Freeholders, have felt that it would be more practical to postpone its effecUve date until after the war, thereby postponing a number of rather large expenditures, the Legislature has ht V* make lhe fK ' rmanent registration law effective on July 1

1943, and we must abide by it

In times like these, when the right of franchise is available to Citizens of only a few nations, it is the solemn duty of every good American to exercise his right, to have a voice in his government, to

show the rest of the world that democracy can work.

If. «•! to bo too busy to to tho poll. II you don’t hsve some particular favonte running for office or if you have no personal interest

m the election.

But every one of us would rise in righteous indignation if a dicUtor ahould abolish elections, should arbitrarily deny us our right to vote. The best insurance against such a dicUtorial act is for every ^aligibie voter to assure himself of his-Jegal right to vote at every T election by registering under the permanent registration law on

November 28.

the high school squad.

A live wire alumni association is a valuable adjunct to any school and any community. Bonds of friendship created during youth are materially strengthened by conUnued relationship of men and women

who have a common interest.

An alumni association which has the support it deserves, which has a large and active membership can do a great deal for the school from which it grew, from the standpoint of morale and added interests and

activities.

Under the leadership of Charles A. Swain, the Cape May High School Alumni Association is attempting to make a come-back, to reorganize on a lasting basis so that it can function in the many ways that would be so desirable. * Naturally with many graduates of the local school in the armed forces, many others in defense industries and others scattered far and wide, it is impossible to have every graduate an active member of the

But there are many Cape May High School graduates living and working in this immediate vicinity. Upon their shoulders must rest

the responsibility of making the revived association a success.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINTS

Suitable Wartime Desserts

-By Dr. leases A. Tobey—

Dr. J. A. Tobey

COLD1ERS, sailors, war workers, ^ and civilians all crave good desserts. There is no reason why they should not have them in war-

time as well as in normal times. The wartime dessert should, however, be as nourishing as it is agreeable to the palate. It can easily be both. Despite shortages in sugar, chocolate, spices, and con-

diments, plenty of tasty and'nutritious desserts are and will be

available.

A dessert has -everal definite nutritive functions. It completely satisfies the appetite, giving an agreeable feeling of fullness. It stimulates digestion. It provides food-energy and othe. nutriment needed by the body. Foods that can now be used as desserts include fruits, cake, pie, pastries, puddings, ice cream, custards, cookies, and doughnuts. AH are %'aluable in the diet, although there is some variation in their dietary qualities. Pie. cake, and ice cream are our most popular desserts. Apple pie is the favorite, with cherry pie a

close second. These fruit pies not only are good souroes of foodenergy, yielding from 300 to 400 calories to the average four inch slab, but they contain some bodybuilding protein, some food-min-erals, and appreciable amounts of certain vitamins, such as vitamins A and C. About half of the volume of the average cake is made up of such protective foods as egg*, milk, and butter or pure vegetable shortening. The other half consists of wheat flour and sugar or other sweetening agents such as honey and molasses. "Eat your egg the cake way," is, in fact, a good slogan these days. Cake furnishes about 100 calorics per ounce, although the foodenergy yield may be a little more or a little less, depending on the exact composition or type of cake. Ice cream inherits many of the excellent dietary properties of its fluid ancestor, milk. High in energy value, about 70 calories per ounce, it is abundant in protein, the food-mineral calcium, and vitamins A and B* None of these desserts is fattening when properly included in a well-constructed daily diet A dessert should, Jn fact, be a part of a balanced meal, and not a mere appendage to it

u/L-°i 0,llJ, M old “ feel. Which class are you in? Now that we understand each other let me explain what I am driving at-low temperature meat cookery offers you saving of time, money and

flavor.

We and hundreds of Home Economists have preached a constant temperature for meat roasting for *o long that I am sure we dream about its advantages to the home- ™ aker - It would be interesting to know how many homemakers we h,v * fe*Hy convinced that this method is the most satisfactory. By using a constant temperature you eliminate the browning of meat at » high temperature and then the inconvenience of Tedncing the heat to a lower temperature. In other words, the m derr. method is very simple. You just i 'ut yonr meat in a low sided pan. at side up; do not cover or add water. Set the heat control to the right temperature, turn on the oven and forge it until the time for it to be finished and ready to serve. This method has so many benefits over the searing method it iust seems funny to find anyone using the old worn out procedure. I believe the greatest advantage is the improved flavor due to the tuiceness and tenderness of the lean and fat The newer method minimizes shrinkage of meat—in other words, more meat to serve, ihis should ring a bell in your thrifty soul in these days. Then too, your range oven will not require cleaning so often as low temperature meat cooking avoids

spatter.

Now for the surprise, the newer method "lower temperature for a JonRer time" uses less fuel than the higher temperature for a shorter time" method.

ment.

I. Grant Scott, former assemblyman and at present a commissioner of Cape May, was inducted as a member of the 1937 New Jersey Senate Monday night as,a representative of Cape May County. Scott resigned his Assembly seat to fill the unexpired term of William C. Hunt in the State Senie his week. Announcing that Cape May County’s cash balance at present is $183,987.89, Freeholder Ralph T. Stevens, director of revenue and finance, yesterday introduced resolution authorizing payment a $25,000 tax revenue note to the First National Bank of Cape May Court House. Payment of the note marked payment of the last county note held by any bank in this county. Dredging of Cape May Inlet was started Monday by the dredge Absecon as part of the United States’ program of waterway improvement. Under a $30,000 federal appropriation, the work of dredging the inlet here was begun this week.

The regular meeting of the Junior Community Club was held on Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Mildred Brcwton on Washington street. The main topic of discussion during the evening was the pre-Thanksgiving Hop to be held in the borough hall, West Cape May. on Saturday evening, November 19. Twenty Years Ago John J. Spencer, chairman of the Progressive League's Armistice Day parade, and all of the other members of the committee’ should be congratulated on the fine parade which was held in this city on Saturday night to commemorate the Armistice Day, of the World War. After some years of dilly-dally-...g the Cape May County Freeholders have decided to ask bids for the construction of perman- | ent road bed qn the unfiniabed strip of Beach Avenue. This has been needed for some years and it took some hard plugging to accomplish it. At the regular meeting of tho Board of Directors of the Merchants National Bank, F. M.
