jtecf Cross Calls For Workers 

JSillburn-Short Hills Chapter, American Red Cross has 

-uroed out a million surgical dresings since it was chartered 

IP. 1943- This is action of which it may well be proud. 

Contrast this, however, to the call for one hundred million 

iiressings National Sed Cross has been asked to supply month- 

]";, and we get some idea as to the huge task that lies ahead. 

America FtiH i'as millions of men ready and waiting to go 

into sction and as these take their places in the battle lines, 

calls and g greater ones are to be looked for. 

Local women have worked long and faithfully to accomjijsh 

what has been done here but more and more/ they will 

lave to be joined by new hands. 

" Little glamour .attaches to the cutting, folding and pack- 

:ng involved in sending shipments of dressings. It is slow, hard 

work and only a spirit of true service actuates those who do 

Red Cross calls upon every woman to review present and 

past efforts to see if some time each week can not be found 

for joining its work room activities. 

America's most vital contribution to victory is just beginring. 

Remember this as you give thought to its plea.

July Heat" 

Not A Record 

July dealt gently vîth us Monday 

and - so passed into history. 

Humidity was high but light 

clouds cut the sun's glare and thermometer 

readings were generally 

lower. 

It was a hot month for most 

of the eastern seaboard, hot and 

dry. Lawns and gardens suffered 

and farm crops of all descriptions 

were damaged. 

Statistics of the Weather Bureau 

show temperatures for July, 1944, 

were just about average, 80.7, but; 

that persistent higluhumidity was 

the thing that had most stay-athomes 

gasping. F;or 18 days the 

humidity hit 60 per cent or over, 

the over carrying on up into the 

8O's. ; 

Scanning the records for several 

years back, it is disclosed 1935 

was about the hottest. Thirty of 

the 31 days were excessively humid 

and temperatures ran generally 

higher also. Other years from then 

to now, had hot days but no protracted 

heat wave. On July 9, 1936, 

the thermometer hit 105 and 

again in 1937 it touched 100. i 

There is one thing about those 

other hot spells, the populace had 

them for their only trial. There 

was no war, no sons and daughters 

were at the front and no 

"Commander-In-Chief" was seeking 

re-election.. Add all together, 

records and events, and the month, 

just closed probably sets an alltime 

high in human discomfort. 

One thing to date has made 

Township life bearable regardless, 

absence of mosquites . The 

drought put the quietus on this 

pest and the heat finished 'em. 

Traps of the Mosquito Control 

Commission show the density of 

population about 85 per cent lower 

than last July, 'tis said, with 

a_f air chancy August 

the same way. 

Even with heavy and continued 

rains now, it would 1>e the latter 

part of the month before the insects 

could hatch and spread and 

killing frosts are due two weeks 

later, according to katydid prophets, 

so we seem fairly safe. 

The first call of these evening 

clackers was heard July 22, and 

six weeks from that date we're 

supposed to waken to drooping 

squash and other vines as Jack 

Frost lays his finger on-them. 

It will be something if 1944 

hangs up a mosquito record to go 

down in history along with other 

unconditional surrenders.

New Furlough 

Gas Regulations 

OPA has again changed the 

regulations covering gasoline rations 

for service men and women 

on leave or furlough. Their requests 

must now be handled in 

much the same manner as those 

of civilians. 

Leaves under three days do not 

now rate any gasoline while those 

of three to 30 days, may be granted 

up to one gallon for each day, 

a minimum of three and a maximum 

of 30. 

Service applicants must show 

the necessity for any gasoline 

sought, that it is for the purpose 

declared and that no alternative 

means of transportation exists. 

• All applications must be made 

to the local Ration Board which 

will determine the need and the 

amount to be granted. 

It took a month to drive it home 

but, Millburn Board of Education 

has : learned something. The new 

flag pole in front of the High 

School will be a jointed affair that 

can be taken apart like a fish rod 

when desired, so goes the word. 

It was last June when the old 

pole was found wanting and no 

longer serviceable. In fact it broke 

off short just above the granite 

base in which • it was set, when 

painters attempted to scale it. 

Since that time workmen have 

attacked the embedded stump 

with fire, acid and every known 

tool in their endeavors to remove 

it and only on. Monday were they 

successful. A giant corkscrew arrangement 

was rigged with a jack 

to do the pulling. 

The stump about three feet long, 

came out finally with a pop like 

a champagne cork, and all repaired 

to the drinking, fountain in 

celebration. 

-In the interim have come many 

suggestions to obviate future pole, 

troubles. One that an ever-lasting 

plastic pole be used, was well received 

. until it was learned that 

would leave the school flagless 

until after the war. 

Another that a small charge of 

dynamite be inserte'd before any 

new pole was set was discarded 

in view of well known student inqusitiveness. 

Finally 'tis said, Board Member 

A. Ross Meeker, a fisherman 

of parts, solved the riddle by proposing 

an exaggerated deep sea 

fishing rod complete with reel and 

line for raising and lowering the 

flag. 

Coast Guard Reserve Chief Petty 

Officer Fairfield, who heads the 

bo.%rd and too, is familiar with, 

salt water tackle, is reported to 

have concurred, and so we'll see 

what next sprouts from the stone 

base on-the High School lawn.

Twp. Major 

On To Paris 

: A Millburn major is now on his 

way to Paris as the American. 

Army has made its breakthrough 

on the Normandy peninsula. He 

is. Major Francis Skidmore of Morris 

turnpike, where his wife and 

two children still make their home. 

^Commanding a unit of mechanized 

cavalry, he landed in France 

June 13 with the first waves of the 

liberating troops and up to the 

time of his last letter to his wife 

here dated July 14, he has been 

in almost constant action. 

Now that British and American 

forces have routed the Germans 

from their hedgerow positions and 

gained, open country, the mechanized 

branches are pushing the 

fighting and Major Skidmore's 

reconnaissance group is in the van, 

forging ahead, cutting communications 

of the enemy and so disorganizing 

resistance as to make 

later mopping up by the infantry, 

a relatively safe and simple matter. 

' . 

A former member of the National 

Guard, Essex Troop, Major 

Skidmore was mustered into the 

Army with the rank of first lieutenant, 

in 1940. For 21 months 

he has been overseas, most of the 

time in England. At. home here 

is a son now 13 months, old, whom 

he:has never seen. 

Before entering the service 

Major Skidmore was with Public 

Service Gas and Electric Company, 

located in. Orange where he 

supervised operations, of the underground 

department. 

Since Overlook Hospital was, 

designated as a depot hospital 

by' the Civilian Penicillin Distribution 

Unit of the War Production 

Board in Chicago, their 

receipts of this material have 

reached. ample proportions, said 

Superintendent Howard G. Turner! 

•• 

In June the hospital received 

10 million Oxford units, and in 

patients, and supplies a large 

margin of safety for local residents.

The Millburn &> Short Hills ITEM 

Making a Piker 

Of the Mail-Man 

By FRED HERRIGEL, 3rd . 

Somewhere in Italy: One of 

the most harrowing jobs that has 

come my way over here was a 

nightly jaunt to forward positions 

"with supplies. 

These positions were surrounded 

on three sides by the enemy; 

and any activity during the daytime 

was nil. It was my task 

along with Pfe. Ernest Sirois, of 

Waterville, Maine, to guide the 

ration carrying party to the gvto 

emplacements. 

Ordinarily our group of about 

eight men, loaded down with, 

food, water and ammunition, 

would start the trek as sooa as 

it was dark. Privates Elmer Mc- 

Cormick, of Mapleshade, N. X; 

Thomas McLaughlin, of Paterson, 

N. J.; William Weaver, of Barrington, 

N. J. and T/5 Johnny 

Sanson of Trenton, composed the 

working nucleus of our bunch. 

Believe me! It is no cinch carrying 

a five gallon can of water 

over dark, slippery trails! 

The first part of the trip was 

all up hill: with plenty of 'cover, 

and a wide road to" follow. At 

the summit of the hill lay the 

small town of T . The town 

was subject to a shelling at any 

time, but strangely enough we 

never got caught there in a Tsarrage. 

Step by step we would 

probe our way through the dark, 

silent alleys — strong with the 

stench of the long dead—until we 

reached an open square at the 

edge of town. 

It was necessary to cross this 

square with the utmost of. caution 

and 'silence! Jerry had a 

machine-gun zeroed in on the 

spot, and would open up at regular 

intervals, or irregular provocation. 

One man at a time would 

take off. After crossing the 

square there was a tree trunk to 

scramble over, and -the rubble of 

a completely demolished house to 

get through, before reaching the 

cover of a lone wall which we 

used as an assembly point before 

continuing on. 

' From that point in, every man 

was on. tile alert for snipers, patrols 

and shellfire: not to- mention 

the ordinary hazzards of 

darkness, a narrow shell-pocked 

trail, and communication wire 

that had a dirty way of tripping 

a man. Some nights it was so 

utterly dark that the only way 

to keep on the trail was to pick 

the wire up and follow it by hand. 

It was impossible to see the path 

underfoot or the person just 

ahead. German flares occasionally 

lit up the area, but 

were not conducive ,to the 

of solid security. ,* 

Five hundred yards of thia 

brought us to barbed wire. Here 

in the shadow of friendly busies 

we would break down-the rations, 

and half of us carrying a double . 

load would continue., on, (The 

others stayed behind for security). 

From the barbed wire there 

was no more path and it was. 

necessary to wade through kneedeep 

mud. Slipping, sliding, aacj 

falling in puddles we finally 

reached our destination; unloaded 

the supplies (the boys were 

always : glad to get new cans to" 

bail out the dugouts), and without 

further ado we got the hell 

out of there! When we reached 

our quarters" an hour later, hot 

coffee and dry blankets were 

most welcome. 

P. S.—Our last trip up to T . 

was made by Sirois and myself»• 

We were in a hurry and decided 

to pull but- before dark. Jerry 

was much too alert ad spotted us' 

in the - shadows—where the mud 

was the 1 gooeyest. Before the 

first mortar shell landed We found 

ourselves in a foxhole, half full 

of smelly water. The three following 

shells landed to our north, 

east, and west—the fifth?. It 

never came!

JsjEALTHY, happy smiles just don't happen! They're 

carefully nurtured by proper diets with milk—the 

most important food of all. Now more than ever, as the new 

school term opens with the heavier wartime schedules our boys 

and girls will be carrying, food must not only satisfy their 

insatiable appetites, but it must nourish and keep healthy these 

youngsters who are growing while they learn. Mothers should 

see to it that these active, young school children have milk with 

breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in between meals. For milk will 

furnish food-energy, plenty of body-building proteins and a 

liberal supply of vitamins and minerals much needed to protect 

the young body and promote physical and mental fitness. 

Through her wise training at home, she can be assured that 

Johnny and Janie will include milk in their daily luncheon menu 

at school—that drinking milk will become an enjoyable habit— 

and that she is doing her part in raising a healthy, happy nation.

the picnic and marshmallows 

and cookies were'provided for all.

of Taylor Park made notebook 

covers from crinkle paper and on 

Saturday children from all playgrounds 

went to see the Newark

* 

GLENWOOD—Glenwood Playground 

is still doing a rousing 

business as far as attendance is 

concerned. The first of the week 

was devoted to planning for 

Field Day on Thursday. Jane 

Freund, Barbara Harrison and 

Alice Harm participated in the 

amateur show. Others entered 

the field events and Glenwood 

boys played baseball against both 

Taylor Park and South Mountain. 

However, all the excitement 

over Field Day didn't keep us 

from , having a fast game of 

"Snatch the Can" on Tuesday. 

The boys competed against the 

girls with a glorious victory of 

25-14. Team captains were Alice 

Hahn and Lynn Dunlap. 

On Wednesday, July 26, the 

girls staged a small amateur 

show. ' Alice Hahn did a modern 

version of "Snow White"; Bunny 

VanOrden danced; .Joan Duele recited 

a poem; Margaret Duele 

acted out parts of a movie, which 

the others guessed; Connie Crossley 

' recited 'part of "The Bobbsy 

Twins at School"; Nancy Willard 

recited a poem and Barbara Harrison 

sang "Swinging on a Star." 

The week ended with everyone 

looking forward to seeing the 

Newark Bears play on Saturday. 

* 

SLAYTON FIELD—Thirty children 

from Slayton Field attended 

and took part in the parade and 

field day at Taylor Park last 

Thursday. Hunter Grubert and 

Bobby Schweyher brought us first 

place honors for the wheelbarrow 

race. Besides all the games and 

events which took place, there was 

still time to play on the slides 

and swings. 

Friday there was a picnic in the 

reservation and the Taylor Park 

group furnished marshmallows on 

cookies, and peanuts for a peanut 

hunt. We all hiked up to the lookout 

house and past the quarry 

then on home. Transportation was 

furnished by Mrs. H. Norton Clark 

and Mrs. R. N. Marshall.

Second Place 

Still In Doubt 

The softbailers of the Beecheroft 

and Police teams met in a game 

Tuesday evening to determine the 

status of second place. After battling 

until dark, the score was 

still tied at 5 and 5, leaving the 

holder of second place still ill 

doubt. 

Members of both teams are still 

so exhausted after the battle they 

don't know whether they will attempt 

another play-off game or 

just let it go as is. 

Faces were painted on the cork 

and the yarn, was used for hair.
