Volunteers Map Share-the-Meat Campaign Here COURT HOUSE — The Women’s Volunteer Corps leaders in the four Cape May County townships and Woodbine met during the last week to plan a Share-the-Meat campaign in Cape May County. In spite of the fact that the t nation’s meat supply is the greatest in history, it will not be enough to meet the needs of the armed forces at home-and abroad, the needs of America’s fighting Allies and the total civilian demands, explained Miss Lois G. Hamilton, county home demonstration agent. Facing these facts, the Food Requirements Committee of the War Production Board has- determined that the amount of meat going to civilians must be restricted. Accordingly, deliveries from packers to civilian outlets were restricted as of October 1 in anticipation of rationing at a later date. In the meantime, the nation's housewives have been asked to share the meat voluntarily so that all citizens wM be able to get their portion. “It has been calculated that the fair share of meat for each able bodied person over 12 years of age is two and one-half pounds per week, for each child under six, three-quarters of a pound per week, and for each child from six to 12 one and onehalf pounds per week is allowed. That includes all meals eaten at home or in a restaurant or someone clse's home. Meat to be shared includes all retail cuts of pork, beef, veal, lamb and mutton, sausage and canned meats made from the limited meats. County neighborhood leaders in rural districts will visit each family and take the message of the Share-the-Meat program with request to cooperate, explain i reasons for the campaign, determine the number of women interested in attending food demonstration meetings to learn about alternate foods and report to the county chairman on the results of their work. Lower Township leaders are Mrs. Irene Wuerker, Rio Grande, Mrs. Hedwigne Gross, Mrs. Isabelle Elmer, Mrs. Louise W. Phillips, Mrs. Elmer Hemingway, of Cold Spring. Middle Township leaders are Mrs. Ella A. Edmonds, Mrs. Julia Taylor, of Court House: Mrs. Virginia Kimble. Mrs. Lillian Stebbins, Mrs. Ethel Robbins, of Rio Grande; Mrs. Lillian Becker, •f Wildwood Gardens; Mrs. H. A. Buzzell, of Burleigh; Miss Clara D. Springer, Mrs. Alice Wilkinson and Mrs. Laura L.

Youth In Africa War Visits lu Borough WEST CAPE MAY — Albert L. Ewing, lb-year-old Navy man. who is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ewing, at Somers Point, visited relatives here on Monday. Young Ewinp member of a battleship which participated in the landing of American forces at Casablanca, North Africa, on Novem-

ber 8.

A former Ocean Cil School student, Ewing er the Navy last February and is cow a second class seaman. The battleship upon which he was a member of a gun crew was under fire from French shore batteries and naval vessels for nine hours, starting at 4 am. In action for the first time, Ewing admitted he was ‘‘•cared’’, but that “I forgot about it in a short time because I was too busy." Ewing and his parents', visited Mr. and Mrs. A. Leon Ewing here Monday afternoon. The battleship on which the youth served was credited with putting 13 ships or batteries out of aetion, largely clearing the way for the landing of troops. Even more harrowing than that experience was when he returned to the United States and was assigned to a detail which helped retiove bodies of dead or severely'injured patrons from the Cocoanut Grove night club fire in Boston. He helped carry out Buck Jones, cowboy film star, who' later succumbed to his injuries. Ewing said sailors in the huge American convoy were given no hint of their destination while crossing the Atlantic, and did not know the scene of action until shortly before their arrival.
