aid with food conservation. The ^committee decided that

canning demonstrations in each

community would be valuable, and cr0 p pinB anii t j K . that help with drying, storing and | ] atl . r , bringing food would be of use to , wh( . !i (ho (1( . homemakers. The committee also , _

Plan For Ferry Is Revived By County Agency COURT HOUSE — Plans for the eventual establishment of the Cape May-Lewes Ferry were advanced another step last week when the Cape May County Ferry Commission convened here and elected Lieutenant James P. Johnson. U. S. C. G . of North Wildwood. as its -chairman to succeed Senator William C. Hunt, who recently resigned the post. , Johnson, a, member of 'the Delaware Bay apd BivgrPilots Association, was named to the commission more than a year ago. when the county agency was created following passage of state legislation authorizing its forma-

taking and its advantages will be end of value. The distance from Cape May to Lewes, Del. by the, ferry route is 13 miles, and the running time is 45 minutes. Boats are now available. The important matter now pending is to start the ball rolling so that this undertaking will be in operation by “We are all familiar with the Cape Charles Ferry, and that is on a paying basis. Records show that after one reaches the Delaware side it is but 7o miles actual driving miles to Washington, whereas now it is 75 miles from Wildwood to Pennsvilie.’’ C. Howard Topham, secretary of the commission, stressed the importance of the ferry from the standpoint of commercial transportation. Regular meetings of the ferry commission will be held to put tin- plan into motion shortly, Johnson said.
