County Library Wmi Jhu UfeaL

Active Despite Effects Of War

COURT HOUSE — Increased war-time activities and cnrtailed transportation facilities resulted in a slight decline in the nuinber of books circulated by the Cape May County Library during 1942, it was disclosed last week by Mrs. Harry Weir, chairman of the Cape May County Library Commission, in her annual report to the Board of Freeholders. Although there was a slight drop in books circulated directly to mdividnals, the county library has continued to lend books to a large number of county residents through local sub-stations and

libraries.

♦“One of the greatest contributions of the Jibraries has been the distribution of books about tne war, covering every phase,” Mrs. Weir reported. "Books like Quentin Reynolds' ‘Only the Stars are Neutral’, Shirer’s ‘Berlin Diary’, Trumbull's ‘The Raft’ and Churchill's ‘Blood, Sweat and Tears’ have had long lists of 1 readers-waiting for them. "Books on the causes of the present war, and what shalF constitute a just peace, are of. vital importance to all. The County Library considers that one of its most important functions in the circulation of this material. Only in a democracy can there be such widespread knowledge of the world situation. "Reouests still come for books to study for courses such as navi- . gation and welding, information on the far-off countries where our men are stationed.” The report showed that during

Philadephia, a summer. _ this resort, was a weekend visitor here, overseeing her property. Captain Warren D. Robbins, of Camp Pickett, Va., and Mrs. Robbins are guests for several days of Mrs. Charles T. Campbell at her Ocean street home.

Cemrship Office Warn Public WASHINGTON — On battlefronts every day men risk their lives to discover the location ^nd strength of the military units of the enemy. Yet at home, too many cititens are presenting the enemy with information of the same militaiy value, the Office of Censorship said in a' statement issued today. This is the information which newspapers and individuals asked not to tell the enemy: Do not tell the names of ships upon which sailors serve. Do not tell the troop units in which soldiers serve overseas. There is no objection to revealing that Private John Jones is in Australia or that Seaman Tom Brown saw action in the Atlantic, but there is military information which endangers the lives of American fighting men in stating that Private John Jones, "Company C. 600th Infantry”, is in Australia, or Seaman Tom Brown, aboard the U. S. S. Wisconsin, is in the Atlantic. Tbe Office of Censorship said: “We ask editors not to publish these troop identifications, and we ask parents and relatives not to reveal them. Don’t give the enemy anything that may lengthen

the war!”

ly Inst . _ Master of Cape Island Lodge, No. 80, F. and A. M., Snyder has been active in Masonic and other fraternal and civic organizations for several years. CoBservationProgram Changed Radically COURT HOUSE—The 1943 agricultural conservation program embodies radical changes which are expected to bring increased benefite to the farmers of Cape May County, Henry H. White, county agricultural agent, disclosed today. A new method of determing the soil building allowance enables poultrymen who have ranges to participate in the benefits. The soil building allowance can be earned only by applying lime on :rop land, pastures and orchards or by applying any phosphoric acid or 0-14-14 fertilizer furnished under the AAA on legume crops ir pastures or mixing superphosphate in manures. For carrying out such practices is mulching vegetables or irehards, plowing under cover crops and summer green manures and some other practices, liberal payments will be made to help defray the costs of the practices.

resulting from sales of commodations was incorporated in rent regulations to overcome efforts of a small minority of landlords to force sales and thus defeat the purpose of rent control, the director said. "It is important to understand.’ Mr. Cassell explained, "that this regulation is only operative in the event it is contemplated that the new owner will take possession of the dwelling unit for his own use. If the house is vacant, the provisions do not apply. "If no eviction is contemplated and the property is bought for investment purposes, or any other conceivable reason and the owner does not intend to occupy the unit, then the rent director has no jurisdiction over the terms of the sale,” Mr. Cas=ell sriH. “In that event, any portion of the amount decided upon between the contracting parties may be in the form of mortgage or cash.”
