The city commission last week announced that it had dropped, for the present, consideration of a proposed curfewordinance which, has been a source of study by municipal onidais for several, months. following conferences with representatives of civic organizations, school authorities and tbe^Prosecutor of the Pleas relative to the needs of such a restriction, the commissioners announced that in their opinion, based on evidence obtained from all of these sources, there is not sufficient necessity to justify imposition of such an ordinance upon the ’"youth of the community. Wildwood. Woodbine and several other county municipalities have adopted or will soon adopt curfew ordinances • requiring all children, under the age of 16, to be off the streets after 9:30 p. m. unless they are accompanied by parents or

guardians.

Commenting on the action of other county communities and the recent suggestion of the Prosecutor that curfew laws be enacted. Cape May officials explained that action of other municipalities must be based upon the needs of the individual community. Regardless of thejtassage of curfew ordinances in other neighboring towns, the commission pointed out, it ts felt that there is no present necessity for such regulation in

Cape May.

The commission’s announcement was issued last week to end, at least for the present, the uncertainty as to Cape May’s

official attitude toward the curfew proposal.

^ By their action, the city officials did not deny that Cape May. has a juvenile delinquency problem. They said in effect, however, that they believed that problem could not be solved by enactment of a curfew ordinance. Records submitted by the Prosecutor showed the principal juvenile rjmAB emanating from Cape May w’ere complaints against a group of young boys who have been in the toils of the law on a number of different* charges. Cases of two girls who had been taken into juvenile court on various charges were of a

character which would not be overcome by a curfew.

Of course, there is need foraction to remedy the juvenile delinquency situation here. Too many youngsters have been

in trouble too frequently, and punishment must be more swift ' "rrow can I cope with food per cent of your daily calories and sure.

Freeholders Ralph T. Stevens and Percy H. Jackson, of . Cape May and Wildwood respectively, began their fourth terms of office on Saturday when thev were sworn in at a quiet ceremony at Cape May Court House. . . To these two m^n—running mates in elections and in the execution of their official duties—should go a large measure of the credit for the outstanding record Cape May County's Board of Freeholders has made in recent years. As director of finance. Mr. Stevens has been resoonsible. with the aid and cooperation of his colleagues, to bring about an outstanding financial recovery of the county since his ' Induction into that office. As director of the board and head of the department of public affairs. Mr. Jackson has made remarkable strides in publicizing and advertising the advant- » ages of Cane May County to the mutual benefit of all sections

of the county.

As they.took their oaths of office Saturday, both offiicials pledged themselves to a continuation of the policies thev have espoused during: their previous three terms of office. Everyone is familiar with these general policies and apnarentlv most residents of the county endorse them, for the two officials have been re-elected with large majorities in three elections since they first took office. The entire Board of Freeholders is in accord on v the general policies mentioned by Freeholders Jackson and Stevens . . . policies of thrift and efficiency. ' pav-as-you-go operations, continuing programs of debt reduction accompanied by earnest attempts to reduce taxes and place the county’s financial structure on a sound and lasting basis while providing the essentials of good goverment. Cape May County is extremely fortunate in having a county governing body composed of men whose ability has been proved time and again. Few, if any, other counties of the state can boast the remarkable come-backs made by Cape ' May County from the depth of the depression. Few can point to such sound finhneial conditions at present. Few, i indeed, can claim such good county government generally as i we in Cape May County. At the start of a new year, -a year which promises to be i t fraught with innumerable problems and complexities borne | of war, it is comforting to know that we in Cape May County j ^^iave men at the head of our county government who. we feel, | ^Bkre equal to the situation, men who have proved thpir ability | ^pin other trying times and have come through with flying* r colors. * At the outset of their fourth terms as members of Caoe; May County’s Board of Freeholders we congratulate Mr. * Jackson and Mr. Stevens upon the%xcellent records thev have | made since they became members of the board and wish them •very possible success during their new terms of office. The other members of the board, too. deserve the congratulations and the thanks of all Cape May County for the ^ Bdendid jobs titey have done and are doing for the entire I «omilT.' i

S TARBOARD WATCH By C Worthy RIGHT ON TIME. TOO True to form, and because of rather than in spite of the war. Cape May ushered the New Year in with more than the usual gaiety and activity in the wee small hours of Friday morning. So pronounced was the presence of service men in all of the local spots where celebrations were in progress that at least one local civilian was thinking seriously of becoming a Western Union boy fSr the night just to get a uni-

form.

WHAT IS SO RARE? No fooling, nowadays a civilian is almost as rare in these parts as the proverbial "day in June". In one crowd of more than 100 the other night, your correspondent counted only four fellows in civics. Which is a mighty small percentage in any language. THE FORGOTTEN CLAN Oh well, with this new Victory Tax and the increased income tax

and all the other

and regulations, it's not safe

to be a civilian any more. In the last war we had a Lost Battalion. In this war it looks like the Lost Battalion will be made up princi-

pally of civilians, the fo

clan of the present.
