Carefully selected vocal and intrumental numbers, interpretive of the motive of the pageant, traditional characters in colorful -costumes, together with the special tableaux are calculated to pro--vide mbments of great dramatic intensity. A significant feature of this year's presentation is the immense scenic background unlike anything previously shown in this section. It transforms the entire ■chancel of the church into a panoramic view of Bethlehem, accurately produced from recent photography. In the right foreground lifesize scenic figures of the three kings with their camels appear. The entire display measures nine by twenty-seven feet. It is to be seen to best advantage in the ■evening when multi-colored lights bring out the rich, colorful dctails. An invitation has been extended to the general public to visit the charch.

Mayor Hand Speaks To Wildwood Group WILDWOOD — How the war has reversed the general work programs of municipal governments was discussed Monday night ty Mayor T. Millet Hand, of Cape May, in an address before the Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce. "Normal activities of municipal governments have been merged with efforts to aid the war program to such an extent that peace-time activities are virtually a thing of the past,” the Mayor said. Commenting on recent more stringent dim-out regulations, Hand characterized the situation as an important problem affecting the safety of residents of the entire area. “There is a possibility," the Mayor continued, “that the new restrictions may be too drastic. I have no intention of arguing with the Army authorities if such Stringent measures are necessary, but 5 they can be modified without causing undue harm to the defenses of the nation. J feel they should be modified.” Mayor Hand lauded volunteer Civilian Defense workers and .urged them to keep up their interest and enthuRiasm. Referring briefly to the curfew problem faced by several county resorts, Hand said Cape May officials are discussing proposals for a curfew law, but' apparently local civic organizations are not advocating the measure. "The future looks bright for Cape May County despite all the current problems," Mayor Hand concluded.

Officer Addresses Airplane Spotters A large group of local airplane spotters and their friends .defied the cold blasts of the first winter storm last Wednesday night to attend a lecture on airplane Identification at Lower Township Consolidated School. Lieutenant B. H. Fisher (jg), of a Cape May Naval Air Squadron, gave another of his interesting talks, illustrated with movies, models and blackboard diagrams. "Lest we be caught flat-footed in this jj^ar, as so many nations and islands have been, we must organize and train an efficient corps of ground observers,” Lieutenant Fisher said. "Knowing our own planes from those of .the enemy can spell victory or defeat. Just as Dunkirk was turned from a hopeless debacle, into a triumph for the English, we may turn the tables on our enemies, should the need arise. It was the Gennan failure to know 500 English Defiants over Dunkirk, that gave the English command of the air longenough to save thousands of their stranded soldiers." A general discussion followed the lecture and movies, during which many spotters were able to name the plane models- held up for identification. Lieqtenant Fisher then presented 45 of the plane models as a gift to the Erma Observation Post so that spotters can study them closely over a long period of time.
