' ¥ CbwihsJi Ch jCLtu } SL • • • • - Rules governing the civilian defense set-up of New Jersey will be changed again on or about September 1, Leonard Dreyfuss, state director, announced last

week.

There has been no indication as yet concerning the 'Scope of the changes, although from past experience, nibst civilian defense volunteers shudder to think of what might be included. Unless the civilian defense set-up is simplified as much as possible in the new regulations, the confusion that has been apparent in each test alert will probably be increased, for there have been too many changes al-

ready.

At the outset. New Jersey's signal system was simple and effective. A two-minute wavering blast on fire sirens sounded the alert. A 10-second blast signalled the all-clear. Everybody came to recognize the signals and they worked effectively. Then there were changes . . . Now no one, including the volunteers of most local defense councils, knows when the test starts and when it is to end. There are many other confusing things about civilian defense . . . matters of jurisdiction, authority, etc., but the signal system is probably the most confusing. With the prospects of new changes to add further to the confusion, those who take their civilian defense tasks seriously are apprehensive. So many changes have already been made that the system has virtually resolved itself into individual guesswork and personal initiative. But guesswork and individual action may be dangerous if the need for a smooth functioning, organized civilian defense setup ever arises. To most of those engaged in civilian defense work locally, the only changes in statewide regulations that will be generally appreciated would be a thorough simplification of the entire system so that workers and the public alike will know what is expected of them. fcnfo’wsjmni Jh& Odd Jsud The recent order banning dogs from Cap? May’s l comes as welcome relief to many bathers who dislike such close association with representatives of the canine world. There have been numerous complaints about dogs mingling with bathers in the surf, of dogs shaking water and sand over those who like to relax on the inviting sands of our beaches. While few people are opposed to dogs if they are kept in their place, nearly everyone resents their intrusion on the bathing beaches. For years there has been a standing municipal regulation prohibiting dogs from the beaches, but it has not been enforced. Now, the Beach Patrol has announced that it will enforce the ruling strictly. Other resorts, notably Ocean City, have handled their dog problems in exemplary fashion. Dogs are not even permitted oh the boardwalk of Ocean City, rtgardless of whether they are on leashes or not. Such additional restrictions in Cape May would probably win the approval of most visitors and residents of this

resort

The good intentions of the Beach Patrol in this matter were announced last week. But good intentions are not enough. Enforcement is the acid test of the value of any regulation, and unless this newest edict is rigidly enforced, it will be worthless. Cape May, like all other communities, has too many regulations and rulings and ordinances and laws which are not enforced. They serve no purpose other th*n to lessen the regard s>f the general public for all regulations. We like many others in Cape May are heartily in >rd with the Beach Patrol order prohibiting dogs from the beaches. Now that it has been promulgated, we hope it will be carried out to the letter.

Congratulations to the Civic Honor Roll Committee for the results it has attained in its brief exis- , tence and for the excellent program arranged for the dedication of the community honor roll on Sunday. Much favorable comment has been heard about the dedication. Its simplicity, earnestness and briefness give just the right touch to the solemnity of the oc-

casion.

The honor roll itself is a beautiful tribute to the

men and women of the community who are How serving their country in its hour of ne<d. It is a tangible expression of what is in the hearts and minds of the community which has sent its eons and husbands and

brothers of to war. ^ / The sincerity and humble appreciation of a gratepeople are often lost in a flood of words, which, tr appropriate they may be, distract to a certain attention of the community from the center

Bf interest. The -local committee exercised excellent Jmpbeth in arranging the type of dedication program that was presented Sunday, avoiding lengthy addresses mi expressi0D to t* 1 * thoughts in the

From its inception the Civic Honor Roll Committee

has worked smoothly and without difficulty. It is

^^ring that such a worthwhile project was comm the same spirit of community service and co-

as it was begun.
