All Cars Must Dim-Out Lights In Coast Area TEENTON — Leonard Dreyu, state director of Civilian De- , warned motorists who live te -the dim-out area that when they drive within the dimout rone they must comply with the Army regulation requiring the upper half of the headlight lens to be .blacked out and the headlight on the low or down-

beam.

The State Office of Civilian Defense Director has received numerous inquiries, on this, subject, many persons living outside the dim-out rone believing that they Were not required to comply with the rule even though they were driving their autos within the restricted areas. "If a person does not live in the dim-out zone and has no occasion to drive his car within the zone at night then he is exempt from blacking out the upper half of the lens”, Dreyfuss said_. ‘‘However', if this same non-resident of the dim-out zone has occasion to enter, the restricted area thfn he must comply the same as a resident of the area." Meanwhile the plan for assisting merchants and industrial plants within the dim-out area to meet the lighting restrictions under the guidance of lighting specialists, loaned by the utility companies, and the local defense councils is taking shape. Meetings of an local defense council chainnen with their Area Administrators and the lighting specialists will have been held this week. At these meetings the plan for training several members of the protective forces of the local councils to act as lighting inspectors is outlined and. the trainjng of the inspectors by the lighting spedalisis will begin this week. As training wiH take but a few

hours.

Certifies ten of compliance are being prepared by the office of Civilian Defense and will be ready for distribution to local councils . within the next few days. The . certificates will be issued to merchants whose show windows and other illumination comply with the dim-out retaliations. The certificate will carry information as to the number of lights and watUge in each window and will be signed by the person making the inspection. The merchant will not be permitted to make a change in the lighting unless he first obtains approval from the local defense council. . Regarding the interior lighting of stores, show windows, restaurants, bars, commercial and industrial establishments, the reg- - ulations require that such light- - fag “shall be dimmed, shielded or otherwise controlled in such a manner as to prevent the source of light being visible above the borizontM-and also to prevent the escape . of light from such building in excess of two foot candles as measured by a light meter held at a point three feet from any window, door or other opening of such building or establish-

ment.”

The inspectors will be trained In the use of light taeters and will be'ablc to give the merchants such assistance as they may need In keeping within the require-

ments.

The regulations also require that all exterior lights used for illumination of open areas, parking lots, gasoline filling stations, .playgrounds, place:, of amusement or entertainment, sidewalk cafes, marquees, open air gardens, terraces for holiday . decorations and all other exterior lights, shall be "permanently shielded in such a manner that no source of light “1 be visible at an angle less n 45 degrees below the horiK zontal.” The regulations further point oat that in no case “shall ’ the lighting as measured on the open area exceed one foot candle •t any point and in no case shall the total wattage used exceed one-eighth watt per square foot of lighted area ffa- incandescent bulbs or one-sixteenth watt per square foot for fluorescent tubes". All exterior lights used for outdoor manufacturing, in railroad yards, for repair work and similav work “shall -be reduced in wattage and number to the minimum consistent with their purK and shall be shielded so the source of light will not be visible at an angle less than. 45 degrees below horizontal." GETS 3 MOVTHS FOR DRUNKEN DRIVING Edward J. Bangert, of 5251 Washington . street, was arrested last Wednesday night by Officers Bowen and Hand on a charge of drunken driving. Arraigned in police court, Bangert was sentenced to serve three months in the county jail. Sentence was imposed' by Police Magistrate Edward P. >‘ittinger.

A SOLDIER’!? POEM To the Editor: The following poem was written by Private Samuel H. Bakley, 892 Guard Sqd. M. P., Municipal Airport, Nashville, Tenn., to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bakley, of West Cape May.

But I'm adding a little more. You hear all kinds of poems these

You 'see all kinds of shows and

plays,

But we’re at war, and for sometime will be And some of us no more will Bee A house, a town or even a tree, So put yourself in a place like me, • war bonds and keep us free."

MERCHANTVILLE ACTIVE Dec. 6, 1942 Selectees’ Mothers Club of Merchantvillc and Pensauken, New Jersey To the Editor: has been brought to our attention that a group of inductees from Cape May to Fort Dix, stopping over at Merchantville, N. J. for our inductees, felt that the boys going from Merchantville and Pennsaukcn were neglected by the town. Soon" after the Mothers’ Club was organized in early summer, it arranged for gift packages containing cookies, candies and cigarettes to be givthe departing boys and there were always mothers there to distribute them. The fact that there is no band there when they go is not because we don’t think a great deal of the boys who .go but because majority felt they would rather not have it. We felt we would like, you to have this information to show what Merchantvillc was do-

ing.

SOLDIER REPORTS To the Editor: Some facts of this section of Colorado: By this section 1 refer to quite a large camp, nestled in the foothills of a mountain range. The name of this camp is Camp Carson, which has recently been constructed and is occupied by the Infantry, Engineers, Mule Pack units of FSeld Artilleo’i Mechanized Forces and various other divisions of the Army. Visible to the east from this, camp are large, level prairies,mostly under cultivation and to the west the Cheyenne Mountains, Lookout Mountain and the famed Pike's Peak. Among these beautiful, breath-taking mountains ere some of the most famous sightseeing spots of America. Our camp is about 6,200 feet above sea level, and one will notice quite a difference in the air as compared with about a 15 foot elevation in Cape May. Housewives in Cape May should like this climate because their clothes would dry quickly due to the dry air. The families here are generally large, and quite a few of them are Mexicans. The nearest town to our camp is Colorado Springs, about six miles away, whose population now exceeds 45,000 far more than usual due to soldiers from this camp and Army airfields. Our Thanksgiving dinner was as good as anyone would receive at home, and I'm sure any soldier here would vouch for that. The weather? Well, since I’ve been here we’ve had nothing but light flurries of snow. The fall of the year has been a dry one

and temperatures are quite variable ranging from 30 to 70 degrees at any time of the day or night. Many thanks for the donation of your paper, which I receive weekly. News of a soldier’s home town is good to his ears, believe me. PVT. JONATHAN

Mercur, a prominent Cape May summer resident. “Cape May has made a forward move this season, that notwithstanding the 'o(T year that seashore resorts arc generally conceded to be passing through, by reason of the ships that arc sailing about of threatening appearance, there cannot fail to be a responsive impetus iome to this good oldtime beach in the near future," said “The Journal".

As another year begins for us as a company, more than 150 of our 1,800 employees are serving in the armed forces throughout the world. We get letters from them from Alaska, Australia, The Solomons, India, Africa, England, Ireland, The West Indies. Panama, ^ from fronts around the ‘globe. Last year at this time the men we had in service used to stop in and see us, when they were home on leave, and tell us about their training, and the life at camp. Now it is a rare thing when one of them comes in, perhaps from Alaska, with a handsome beard. Instead we get letters, all from great distances, telling of new experiences, shooting bears for food, sea battles, convoy attacks, air raids, landing operations, ground actions, or tank warfare. Every letter is full of encouragement, confidence, but in everyone there is the same note, the thought of the day when they will be home again, have their old jobs back, and perform the work-a-day ' service of providing people with gas and electricity which we are doing here novJ. So this year we have more to hope for than we ever had before, 'yand we have a bigger job to do. We look forward to the day they wU£ come back, and we are determined, although we are short handed in virtually every department, to carry on and give the best service we possibly can. 1943 will be a tremendous year for all of us, full of promise, marked undoubtedly by sadness, but we will be strengthened as an organization by the will and determination to do our very best until that day comes when we can work again as a united Jersey Central family.
