PAGE FOUR Farmers Urged To Work With Big Retailers Cape May County’s 418 farm operators can increase their cash income as much as $30,000 a year on fruits, nuts and vegetables alone by woiking with retailers in developing group marketing programs, it was estimated today by a leading distributor of New Jergey crops. “With approximately 80 farmers in this county and_more than 6,000 farmers throughout New Jersey using farm marketing cooperatives to streamline war-time distribution, the general trend toward group action in marketing is one of the most important agricultural developments In the state,” according to Earl R. French, marketing director of A 4 P’s produce-buying affiliate, the Atlantic Commission Company. “Our experience shows that growers can boost their income 10 to 16 per cent by working together to provide adequate volume and standard grade and pack, and by working with distributors to cut out unnecessary handling operations and costs. This 10 to 16 per cent would-bring approximately $20,000 to $30,000 extra annually - on fruits, nuts and vegetables alone to Cape May County growers, who in one recent year received $198,135 from their sale# of these products. Growers could similarly increase their cash income from other crops by group action," French explained. As an indication of the affectiveness of cooperation between growers and distributors, French aaid economies worked out through group marketing programs were one important factor helping to boost cash returns to New Jersey growers and shippers 47 per cent to $3,074,444 last year from $2,095,619 in 1940 on fresh fruits and vegetables sold through the Atlantic Commission Company. With war-time food supply conditions emphasizing the need for shortening commercial distances between growers and consumers, group marketing programs can not only aid the “Food-for-Free-dom” program but also provide a vitally importa.-.t key to ‘ farm prosperity, French He pointed out that the groundwork for building these programs is already well prepared in New Jersey, which “group-markets” poultry and eggs and dairy products in addition to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Continued From Pace One — “Approximately 125,000 service men during the year ending June, 1941 came to Red Cross field directors throughout the country for help of various kinds, and more than 440,000 service men received counsel and assistance in - the J2 months ending June, 1942. “If 4,000,000 men represent the average number in service over the latter- period, then one out of everj' nine men made use of the Red Cross service. o great has been the expanof our armed forces that in order to carry on services directly to the fighting men wherever they are, in camps, at home and at battle stations in a dozen allied countries from Iceland to Trinidad and from England to India, trained Red Cross personnel, including Red Cross field directors and their staffs, are assigned to 776 stations with more than 300 of these alreadv on duty overseas. This trained* personnel works with the 3,748 Red Cross chapters and more than 3,000 branches throughout the United States. Many service men’s problems derive from a home situation. Because of illness or death in his family, a service man may request a furlough. His commanding officer may refer this request to the Red Cross field director. By exchange of telegrams through yie two-way flow of Red Cross information from camp to chapter and back, the necessity of the service man’s presence at home is verified. The function of the investigation is to assist the commanding officer in determining whether a furlough is advisable. Frequently, because of his illness, a service man's wife and children will arrive unannounced at his camp and find no quarters available. The Red Cross

field director is prepared to help in this difficulty. “A man may desire to 'talk out’ a personal problem or may wish some advice on allotments, allowances and insurance, or he may need assistance m solving a business problem. The Red Cross field director is there to help him. The field director’s office is in a position to make loans to service men in order for them to return home on account of death in the immediate family. Such loans are made only upon the recommendation of commanding officers and after verification has been made. “To the service man the Red Cross is a link with his family at home. He should know that the Red Cross is interested not only in his personal welfare, but in his family as well. Therefore, it becomes the function of the Red Cross to arrange for furnishing relief among families of

service men.

“These men should also know that field directors go with troops on maneuvers and on other field duty. By contacting the Red Cross chapter his family can locate him through the field director's office in an emergency. “Multiply these human problems by the thousand for the scope of the Red Cross field directors' work. Treating each as an individual, acting only on sound principles, the Red Cross field director is prepared to act as a confidant and adviser about any of the innumerable problems of human relationship that some up in the course of the everyday life of the service man,” Lar-

kjns continued.

“It is hoped that this information might be of interest to the service men in Cape May (Jouniy and also the residents of this area,” he said.

Convocation To Be Held At Vineland The ,Baptists of the West Jersey Baptist Association are planning a Convocation to be-held In the First Baptist Church of Vineland on Tuesday, January 19. Theme for the -Convocation will be "Spiritual Foundations.” There will be two sessions at the meeting, one in the afternoon beginning at 2 o’clock, followed ■>y a fellowship dinner at 6 j'elock. At 7:45 the meeting will re-assemble for the second sesDuring the afternoon and eve-' ning meetings various representatives of the life and work eff the Baptist denomination will speak. One of these will be the Rev. Gustaf A. -Bword, a missionary in Burma for more than 20 years. The purpose of the Convocations, which are being held throughout the winter in the whole Northern Baptist Convention, is to help people build their lives on spiritual bases. Mr. Sword arrived in this country on furlough in July bringing a wealth of information as related to mission work. He and Mrs. Sword have served among the -Kachin people of Northern Burma since 1921. Although home on regular furlough, the manner and time of their departure from Burma following the Japanese invasion is of outstanding interest.

He sent the following letter tb the retiring board member, lauding him for his service during the last

I would be tempted to argue with you about this except that I personally know about the necessary changes in your business arrangements and I think you are wise in doing what you are doing, as much as I regret the loss of your services. “In behalf of the people of Cape May, may I thank you most sincerely for your devoted and uncompensated work for the community during the last five years?”, the Mayor continued.

TO CRACK DOWN ON SPEEDERS IN N. J.

NEWARK — James Kerney, Jr., state director of the Office of Price Administration, late last week announced completion of rangements for a program of operation between OPA, state, county and municipal enforcement agencies for reporting to OPA the names of persons violating the 35-mile-an-hour speed

limit.

An executive order issued by Governor Edison directed the various enforcement agencies to cooperate with OPA’s mileage rationing program in this matter. "The 35-mile-an-hour speed limit,’' Kerney declared, “is the backbone of the mileage rationing program. The speed limit, coupled with periodic tire inspection, is the program’s most potent factor for actually saving rubber. The object of • the speed limit ’ eliminate waste and abuse tires. Violators are subject to suspension of gasoline and tire rations.” The plan provides for all enforcement agencies including state police, Motor Vehicle Bureau, and all county and municipal enforcement agencies to report speed violations to Kerney’s office. The notices of violations will then be sent to the rationing board in whose area the offender lives for appropriate action.
