'Keasbey Marine Terminal Is Busy These Days

(Photos by Staff Photographer)KEASBEY More than fifty boats use the Jennings basin and docks at the foot of Crows Mill Road hej-e as a mooring

base during the summer, while nearly 100 vessels of all types are stored in the yards and sheds throughout the winter months. Picturedabove, left, can be seen the huge sheds and marine railways. In the photo, right, is shown the walkway to the main dock and floats inthe Raritan River. The new Edison Memorial bridge stretches across the water in the background. Other boat storage basins are notshown in the pictures. The site occupied by the Jennings Yacht Building and Storage Yards covers more than thirteen acres.

Keasbey Vies With SewrenFor Supremacy'As BasinFor Pleasure Craft; Jennings Develops Marine YardsKEASBEY — Smith's Creek in

Sewaren isn't the only spot in theTownship boasting of the "marinemovement." Keasbey' is also inthe race—and greatly so.

The Jennings Yacht Buildingand Storage Yard.at.the foot ofCrows Mill Road is one of the fin-est and largest boat basins in cen-tral Jersey.

D. Leon Jennings purchased ap-proximately thirteen acres of landbordering on the Raritan Riverhere, including the former Ostran-der Docks, in August last year.

In less than one year, he haserected three large boat storagesheds, a huge workshop and anoffice. The yard can .aceommo-date more than fifty cruisers with

inside storage and many more out-side .

A marine railway system wasconstructed early in the project.The floor space in the repair andconstruction shop can accommo-date four large cruisers.

100 Boats Dock ThereJLast year, more than 100 boats

varying in size from 25 feet to 55feet including many large sail-boats were stored in the yard andsheds. This spring a secondheavy-duty railway was installed.The basin was also enlarged andadditional docks built.

The yard, beside being privatelyowned and operated, has a retailstore supplying paints, varnishes,brushes, compounds and all marinesupplies to boat owners.' Gasoline,ice, bait and incidentals are al-ways available at the main dock.

The location is most ideal for

boating. It is on the deep -water

channel side of the river and faces

the new Edison -Memorial 'bridge

some 2,000 feet away.The expansion of the yard has

been rapid. The property is beingimproved, daily to meet the fast-growing requirements. Two addi-tional mooring basins are beingdug for summer and winter stor-age of boats.

Jennings employs a crew of ex-pert boat builders and repair menthroughout the'year. Boats builtby Jennings are noted for theirappearance and seaworthiness.

Estimated cost of private boatsusing the yards as ancorage totalsapproximately $150,000. The site,including buildings and equip-ment, is valued at nearly $35,000.

HEALTH and BEAIJTYYOUR LOOKS AND THE SUM-

MER SUN,It has been pointed out before

in these columns that unwise andindiscriminate exposure to therays of the summer sun often re-sult in great harm and suffering;.

Some human beings seem tolack the capacity for sane i-eason-ing. They have heard that sun-shine is good for the health. Thereis also a fad for getting one's selftanned. And so at the first op-portunity they proceed to expose,,as much of their bodies as possi-ble to the blistering rays of OldSol. To their dismay the skinturns very red and unless they areextremely fortunate they are infor a very miserable time.

Fever often develops and nauseaand vomiting come on. The skinmay pop out in a mass of blisterswhich are not easy to heal. Thewriter was called not long ago tosee a patient who had spent theday before at the beach. She hadremained in the water for twohours during- the hottest part ofa July day, and. then laid in thesun in a backless bathing suit forperhaps an hour. The poor erea.ture .was piteous to behold. Herwhole back: and arms were cover-ed with blisters of various sizesand shapes. Some were as largeas the palm of the hand-. Her suf-ferings were acute. The properremedies were applied and she re-covered from her sun spree, a sad-der but wiser girl. Instead of ac-quiring the tan which she covetedshe resembled a boiled Lobster-for.a long time afterward.

Frequent and prolonged; expo^sures to the rays of the sun dryout the natural oils of the skin,

produce freckles and pigmentedspots which are a blemish to beau-ty. Too much exposure to sun-shine permanently coarsens androughens, the -skin..

There is a skin disease knownas psoriasis, which improves insummer due to the beneficial, af-fects of the actinic- ray of the sun.Acne, a very disagreeable skin,condition which manifests itself, bya. succession of pimples on.the face,,chest or the back of adolescentyoung, men; and, women is helpedby' sunshine..

THe outdoors are generally con-ducive to health. For fresh- airand a certain amount-of exposureto sunshine promote the general-well-being: of the body. "Vitaminsare more readily absorbed in. asunny, clime than in- one that is.foggy and: murky.

If. you- examine the skin of aNegro under the microscope, you;will: observe a-, thick layer, of: blackpigment, in the true. skin. Thiswas put there by a wise creatorto- protect the inner delicate, tis-sues against the destructive raysof the African; sun. In the southwhere the Negro children livemuch in. the sunshine they flour-ish if fed, on. plain wholesome food:In. the north, it is necessary- to giveNegro children, especially in thecities,, cod liver oil to preventrickets.- The white child suffers:less from insufficient sunshine be-cause he lacks the pigments pos-sessed by the Negroes which pre-vents the small amount of the.northern wintry sunshine from be-ing absorbed into his system.. Like all good gifts from God,sunshine is a blessing; wronglyused it is productive of harm.

Can We Rely Upon Battleships?The United States has embarked upon

. a naval construction program that will givethis nation a two-ocean navy within thenext five or six years.

,,i, „, There are some, Americans who wonder'whether air power has not rendered battle-ships obsolete. They question a reliance-upon sea power for future defense, believ-ing that airplanes will dominate all type of•-.'warfare.V It might be worth while to consider• the present phase of the war in Europe inconnection with this speculation. TheBritish isles are free of German soldiersbecause of British men-o-war which con-tinue to rule the waves. The oceans ofthe world are devoid of German shipping•because British warships patrol the sea.lanes.

The safety of the British islands de-fends upon the navy and the only ohanceof victory over Germany "rests upon thecontinued ability of the British navy toblockade Germany and Italy, and the rest

"of Europe, if necessary. The far-flungempire, with its dominions and crown colo-nies, is safe "from invading Germans be-cause the British fleet has superiority of

The interests of the United States andthe prosperity of our people in-future yearsdepend upon our commerce with the otherareas of the world. There is no force thatcan protect it, or assert its rights, otherthan a fleet of warships that can duplicatethe -present amazing performance of theBritish navy.

The role of the airplane in warfare hasbeen greatly enlarged but there is littleevidence available, at this time, upon

JSphich to doubt the dominance of sea pow-4a: .which has-sustained the great nationsthroughout the" centuries of the past. In

_ jesting its future security-upon the gunsof a great fleet of super-battleships theUnited' States is planning well for futureengagements.

- . -By Ait To AlaskaA commercial passenger airline is now

operating between Seattle, Washington,and Alaska, with the trips taking just a-few minutes over five hours.- . 'This should interest Americans, Gon-eerned- about national -defense, because acommercial plane flies around 160-miIes-an-irour: but "bomber time" is 300-miles-an-hour. This means that Japanese bases,off the tip of the Aleutian Peninsula, arejust about nine hours' flying time from

' the State of Washington.These figures explain the desire of

Army and Navy officials to develop airfacilities in Alaska and their regret thatCongress waited more than a year to givethem the money for this purpose.

. Bomb OutragesThe explosion of a bomb in New York

City took the lives of brave police officersan'd indicated, very plainly, that this coun-try: includes in its population some extreme-ly undesirable individuals..-' Whether the miscreants are appre-hended or-not the bomb outrage servesnotice upon the people of this country thatJJiey must be on guard against such terror-ism. Should those responsible for the bomb.be. . ascertained, they should be punishedingorously. <f? j i t is difficult to imagine the mentality%hat wilfully places a dangerous explosiveia a place where HO mortal hand can stayits fatal blast, regardless of those who may¥e in peril.

]l Training Expert Workmen'". A training program. Vhich is expectedto reach 1,500,000 young Americans will.Soon get underway when 150,000 workerswill be given vocational training; in publicfchodls. ;'

"/; The program will be carried, out under)he general supervision of the Federal

,-flffice of "Education, but local school offi-trials will be responsible for the conduct of

Jgasses. The first classes will be held in,"jtulyr August and September at vocational^training schools throughout the country.

The Office of Education will pay for theuse of ~the schools a*s well as the salaries ofteachers and supervisory personnel.

While 50,000 of the worifers-.will comefrom the WPA, the other 10-Qt0ft0 will beselected through State-Employment serv-ice from the lists of workers ,ndw in indus-try who wish to improve their skill. If thisprogram succeeds, the present-indicationis that the idea of compulsory training willbe abandoned.

Homes For British. ChildrenThe plight of women and children in

Great Britain is dangerous as air raidscontinue and the British government isanxious to remove thousands of these help-less noncombatants out of the war zone.

Many of them will proceed to Canada.Some Americans are willing to provide forBritish children in this1* country. Here is-how it can be accomplished:

(1) File your name with the UnitedStates Committee for Care of EuropeanChildren, 215 Fourth Avenue, New York.It might be a good idea to specify the na-tionality that you prefer.

(2) Contribute to the Allied "ReliefFund, of New York, for the purpose ofproviding shelter and transportation forrefugee children until they can be. placedin homes in the United States or Canada.

At this time, according to informationfrom Washington, the only child refugeesthat have any chance of getting to thiscountry are those of British parents andthose who found refuge in Great Britainfrom continental countries before theycame under Nazi control.

Pershing Urges Aid £o BritishThe non-partisan committee to defend

America by aiding the Allies recently madepublic a telegram from General John J.Pershing, urging Americans to lay asidepartisanship and work together to buildup the defenses of their country against"the greatest peril with which Americahas ever been faced."

General Pershing pointed out that "solong as Britain stands, the danger will bekept at a distance," but, he adds, "whileorganizing and equipping ourselves, it issound sense to do all that we can to keepBritain supplied with the food, arms andmunitions of which' she must have a con-tinuous supply if that outer bulwark ofdemocracy is not to crumble."

Public - Hearing 0m Annual Schoot Budget NecessityTo Paring Costs? Says Stale Taxpayers* Association

By Harold G* Hoffman

Under a bill recently passed bythe State Legislature but whichwas filed by the Governor in theState Library -without his approval,boards of education would be re-quired to prepare .tentative .annualschool budgets, at least twenty daysbefore annual schpol elections(which ate held" the second; Tues-day in February), and to hold pub-lie hearings on these-budgets priorto, January twentieth.

This would give taxpayers amuch needed opportunity to exer-

cise moje intelligent control overschool costs in the local districts,since it would make it possiblefor them to study the budgets inadvance of election, to take part inthe hearings, and prepare them-selves to vote accordingly.

While the taxpayer movementhas developed rapidly in New Jer-sey during recent years, and tax-payers are taking a more conspicu-ous part in the determination of'governmental expenditures, theyhave been retarded in controlling

Some Don'ts' For SwimmersSomething like 7,000 American citizens

were drowned last year, many of them, be-cause they thought they were perfectlysafe.

With the Summer.bathing season in fullsway, it might be a good idea to remindall persons, including good swimmers, thatthe water can be dangerous. There arecertain rules to be followed if one wishesto exercise caution in the water.

The "don'ts" that might save your lifeinclude an admonition against swimmingalone, swimming in unpatrolled waters ortoo quickly after eating. In addition, youare urged not to depend on inner tubesas safety belts and to exercise care in boatsand canoes. •*

-These simple rules might save the lifeof some boy and girl in Woodbridge Town-ship this Summer if parents will take thetime to call them to the attention of theirchildren. Jn addition, good swimmersshould be cautioned against over-confi-dence which might lead them to over-exertion.

And How We Celebrate!You'can say one thing for the people

of the United States:When they celebrate they eelebrate!The. Fourth of July, which was once

an occasion for patriotic gatherings, has I onbecome a public holiday, marked by acci-dents, deaths and much misery.

It is the same for almost any other holi-day. Everybody takes the day off, appar-ently to risk their lives and see how longthey can gamble with the Grim Reaperbefore he mows them down.

Even without a holiday we manage toastonish the world with our annual list oftraffic fatalities. It's not an average daywhen 100 Americans, good men, womenand children,, and true, are not removedfrom the mortal shuffle by highway acci-dents, i

It's about time for us'to settle down andbe our age. Let's recognize the necessityof trying to conserve human life and tosave the expense account that comes withaccidents and deaths. /

Losses Too"We hear much about the' profit

motive.' [Some people speak of itas something sinister.

"Profit is the aim of the capital-istic system. Everybody under-stands that. But few'understand,or acknowledge, that the capital-istic system also takes losses. . . .

"Under the capitalistic systemthe rewards or losses go to thosewho voluntarily assume the rink ofa venture; but when the govern-ment puts its money into an under-taking, the profits or losses are dis-tributed among all the citizens.

"An unprofitable private under-taking usually comes to a quickending, but an unprofitable "gov-ernment venture may continueendlessly 'beeause, for politicalreasons, there may be no one tocall a halt.

"For this reason, private capi-talism is the only system.that hasever worked well in the long run.It isn't the perfect system, but itis the only one we know of thatworks." The William FeatherMagazine.

miscuous sale and use of fireworks. the 4th,.of July has in-

The old argument that fire-works, unless handled by experts,are a serious menace to life andlimb is just as pertinent as ever.But it is now pointed out that theyare a waste of powder and money,which might better be devoted tonational defense and' war relief,respectively.—Boston Transcript.

The Beginning ?An hour or two ago the news'

came that Prance had capitulated.The march of the vigorous and theaudacious people continues, andthe sound is.eloser, now, and easier,to hear.

To many Americans, war started(spiritually) years ago with thetorment of the Jews, To millionsof others, Iess.sensitive to the over-tones of history, war became ac-tual only when Paris became Ger-man. We looked at the faces inthe street today, and war is at last

i

real, and the remaining step ismerely the transformation of fearinto resolve.

The feeling, at the "pit of everyman's stomach, that the fall ofFraSte is the end:.of everything,will soon change into the inevitableequivalent"'. human ' feeling—thatperhaps .this is the beginning of alot of things.—The New Yorker.

TAXThe Treasury Department es-

timates that the national defensetax bill, will yield from new andincreased taxes about $994,000,000a year. The measure provides a"super-tax" of, ten percent, to be'added to income taxes, retains"nuisance" taxes and broadens theincome tax base to cover incomesabove' $800 for single persons and$2,000 for married persons.

POWER. The power capacity of the Ten-

nessee Valley Authority will beexpanded at a cost of $65,000,000as a result of recommendations ofEdward R. Stettinius, Jr., memberof the National Advisory DefenseCommission, in order to provideample power for additional de-fense industry expected to be lo-cated in areas served by Federalgenerating facilities.

school costs to a great extent be-cause they have been kept prettymuch in the dark about tentativeschool budgets. Final figures havenot been released until the lastminute, and even then they havebeen so lacking in detail that ithas been virtually impossible topoint out those items that shouldbe trimmed off in the interest ofeconomy.

No Choice Left •As a result taxpayers have had

no choice on election day exceptto approve or disapprove the bud-get as . offered. The largest per-centage • of the voters has stayedaway from the polls and allowedthe budget to go through "by de-fault." •

For several years the platformof the New Jersey Taxpayers As-sociation has- called for correctionof this situation. . Bringing thefigures out into the open wouldpave the way toward vastly im-proved relations among schoolboard members, taxpayers, school jemployees and others concernedwith school expenditures. -

For-one thing, school board of-ficials would be relieved of someof the budget headaches, becausethe public hearings and budget re-ports would place greater respon-sibility on the taxpayers. On theother hand, knowing that the fig-ures would be exposed to closerpublic scrutiny, officials would bemore inclined to prune away thenon-essential items in order to pre-sent a more acceptable budget.Voters would have more to guidethem at the school elections, sincethe budget would be given morepublicity.

Stimulates Co-operationAbove all, gre'ater co-operation

between taxpayers and officialswould be stimulated. Conscienti-ous officials know they can gaingreater public favor, by heedingconstructive taxpayer criticism.Similarly, taxpayer leaders - arewell aware of the advantage ofgiving all possible assistance toresponsible officials.

Despite his refusal to sign thebill Governor Moore did not findfault with its basic provisions. Be-cause its objectives are in the pub-lic interest, it is to be hoped thata new bill will be introduced andenacted into law by the Legislaturein time to apply to the 1941 schoolbudgets.

TRENTON.—The West Indiesare in the news again.

These islands of coral and vol-canic rock, these mainland junglesalmost under the equator, havebeen silent for a long time. Oneof these islands was the spot atwhich Columbus discovered theNew World. Others were earlyshelters of hardy adventurers whohunted the wild cattle of the is-lands and cured their meat into"B'oucan" or dried beef—a wordthat grew easily into "Buccaneer"when the hunters took to the seaand hunted gold and. silver on thewaters of the Spanish Main.

Later, out - and - out piratesthrove among these islands, HenryMorgan, Blackbeard, Kate Bonny,Jean Lafitte and the mythical fig-ures of Long-, John Silver, Cap'nFlint and the parrot who croaked—"Pieces o!f eight Pieces of eight!Fetch aft the rum, Darby McGraw!Pieces of eight!"

* * *The West Indies were "the plan-

tations" to which English malefac-tors of three centuries ago weretransported, to which lean, rakish,low-hulled slavers .brought theirgasping- cargoes. Then came theera of West Indian rum, when thisrobust beverage was sold in NewEngland stores from casks thatstood between the containers ofmolasses and whale oil.

England and France fought overthese islands two centuries ago,and traded them back and forth.Their rich soils and delightful cli-mate filled them with people untilnow some of them* are among themost densely populated spots in theworld.

* * *Island Sentinels Now Close

All of them, Bermuda and theBahamas, the Windward and theLeeward Islands, Trinidad, Jama-ica and the mainland Guianas,stand as sentinels off our coast,once remote by the measurementof time, now uncomfortably close.

Bermuda, which lies 600 milesout from the mouth of the Chesa-peake Bay, lives on onions andAmerican tourists. It has a Brit-ish naval dockyard and naval base.The defenses are good only againstcruisers. A battleship gettingwithin range could blast the fortsin a very short time.

The Bahamas lie along the Flo-rida Coast, coming within SO milesor so of Miami, and. swinging eastalmost to Puerto Rico. The is-lands are sandy and sparsely popu-

lated. The waters are shallow amithe group and ideal naval ambushfor submarines, destroyers and air-craft.

Dropping south from PuertoRico lie the Windward and Lee-ward Islands, volcanic, fabulouslyproductive and crowded with adense population. The title tothese islands is divided betweenEngland and France.

At the southern end of the Wind-ward chain lies the large island ofTrinidad, covering the mouth of theOrinoco River on the South Amer-ican mainland. - Here there is a.major British naval base.

The Leewards,,, the Windwardsand Trinidad separate the easternend of the Caribbean Sea from theAtlantic and are the gateways tothe Panama Canal.

* * -Y-

Transfer As Debt PaymentAll these islands and the main-

land possessions of England,France and Holland are strong po-tential naval and air bases. Fromtheir position they can be operativeagainst no one other than theUnited States.

England and France are deeplyin our debt. My guess is that theWest Indies will be transferred tothe United States as a partial pay-ment on those debts. The pro-ceeding will be more pleasant ifthe present owners of this terri-tory are cheerful and cooperativeabout this transfer; in these grimtimes that willingness would haveto by a secondary consideration.

I am not speaking from thecynical position of continentalstatesmanship but with realizationthat we can leave no possible dan-ger loose so near to our vitals.

* * =i:

This necessary and impendingmove will not be in our past tradi-tion of sweetness and light amongthe nations—but there is no sweet-ness, and very little light in thepresent situation.

There.would be little point in•building a great now navy and airforce to guard our front door andleaving the back door open fortrading in a future peace confer-ence in which we will play no part.

Don't be shocked if we expel allEuropean nations from the West-,ern Hemisphere, either by our-selves -or in concert with the otherAmerican republics.

None of this has any bearing onCanada. She is a nation in herown right and our very good-friend.

CITY GROWTHPreliminary census figures indi-

cate that urban growth in the lastdecade has been much slower thanin the years 1920-1930.. While the'irate of growth was expected to belower, the decline in the increasereported by seven areas indicatesa shift of residence to suburbs be-yond corporation limits.

ELMER "STEVE" VECSE"S«

M-Sfaf Tilt."'. .Since the American' League came out on the

short side of the score in the All-Star tilt, thehowls of those fans wh'o were dissatisfied with'the 1940 playing selections are growing evenlouder*. The niain cause" of the dissentioti. seems-to center around the fact -fihat although fhe Yank-ees are only in fourth pla'ce,- and showing no defi-nite signs of improvement-—Yank regulars weremore numerous' rrr tKe i rn:eric'ain- League's start-ing line-up than' placers1 from any other rivalclub. . •

And to add to • Joe Cronih's worries, the De-troit Tigers and Cleveland Indians (first and sec-ond place clubs in the Junior' circuit)": were" notgiven the honor of having even one player iri theAmerican League's" startin'g' line-up. • But th'e big-gest joke of all was;the startin'g pitcher for thejunior circuit-—Red: Reffirigi ^hat choice byManager Joe Cronlii seemed to be the finishingtouch in Detroit, Cleveland, and just about every-where else, that" American' League fans' were 1s-tehin'g in'to! the Mg affair.- . . ' \

Sidrts Fireworks . . .This column must agree that picking Charlie

to start the hurling was an erroneous error — aresult of the over-estimated power of the 1940'Yankees. Consequently, while the Ruffing waswhiffing the onion down in or out of there, hurl-ers such as AI Milinar, Buck Newsom,' Bob Feller,1

Tommy Bridges, "Dutch" Leonard, arid suchothers were standing idle', wondering when and ifthey would get the call Some of these did getthe call— toq late. - ;

Some 6f'tn'e"lfecf Sox fans will argue thatjust because a pitcher" has an off day, Croriirishouldn't be blamed. Well, Ruffing (whom werecognize as one of the "better" hurlers) has hadan entirely off year, just as do most ace twirlerssome time or other. 1940 All-Star pitchersshouldn't be selected from 1930's stars. Thiswas the case early this month. And when MaxWest lined the ball over the wall for a rpund-tripper, Cronin must have begun to realize hismistake. However, this wasn't the worst mis-take made concerning the All-Star affair.

Biggest Backfire . . .Most fans figure that this year's selection of

the players was the true boomerang of the affair.Loyal Red Sox fans still are weeping over the ab-sence of snappy Bobby Doer in the St. Louisevent. Rip Radcliffe, of the Browns, (who waspecking .355) is still wondering what a guy hasto do to be chosen. Likewise, Barney McCosky,Detroit's center fielder, who was at the top instatistics, was left o*ut altogether. .

There w-as not as much dissatisfaction in thesenior circuit, although the last of the famousGas Housers, old Pepper Martin, was excludedfrom the National League squad when everyoneexpected him to be chosen. Since the Nationalswon the '40' All-Star affair, however, the critics'cries of anguish are not nearly so loud as theywould have been;—had the Nationals lost. So—all Went well fdr McKechnie—all wacky forCroriin. The latter shouldn't worry too much,,however—American League fans know Joe wastrying his frest and just didn't have the breaks(that was one reason). Likewise, AmericanLeague fans can always forgive a player — theyfigure, if he tries his best.

Betnpsey ToFight Again...When the word came around that Dempsey

was to tangle with another "nobody," frankly,we were disappointed. We had hoped Dempseywould end his second comeback with the Cow-boy* Luttrell drama'. But on goes Dempsey—howfar nobody knows.- Maybe Jack needs themoney, if not, we Just can't quite figure it. Try-ing to return to the ranks of the foremost heavysat 45 is just a bit short of ridiculous, just as wesaid last week-end—ridiculous this week, nextweek, or any other week.
