By Farmer BUI In a taste test conducted at the Middle Diner, Farmer Bill discovered that: t 1. Cape Maj^-ourt House residents doF^pt eat cantaloupe for broskfast. 2. The famous Jersey cantaloupe. The Jenny Lind, has been displaced as South Jersey’s best tasting •‘lope’’ by the Ambrosia grown mainly by Wuerker's Farm in Rio Grande. Farmer Bill conducted the test by serving a sample each of Jenny Lind and Ambrosia to each of the patrons of Fred and Claire Marie Seymour’s Middle Diner and asking each taster which one he or she preferred. The results: For Jenny Lind — Buck Weaver, Ronnie Barber, Joe Berano, M.D. Miller. Harrisburg. Barbie Seaman. For Ambrosia — Joe (last name withheld). Lillian (waitress. Art Crull, Cliff Spalding. Edith Spalding, Margaret Fisher. Erma, Andrew Fisher, Linda Dickson. Pittsburgh, Ben Wilkinson. Undecided — Wendy Seaman. The jest proves that Ambrosia, which was eaten by the Greek and Roman gods, is truly the can- . taloupe “fit for the gods.” But many Cape May Court House residents thought that it was barbaric to eat cantaloupe for breakfast. Pete Evans and Huck Stone pushed away the samples, exclaiming “Wheat pancakes and

sausage and bacon and eggs, but not cantaloupe for breakfast. That spoils the taste of the breakfast

food."

So, Farmer Bill left to make the ‘rounds of his huckster route, recalling what his old French professor said,/’Chacun a son gout.” meaning each to hid own taste and his Latin Professor whp taught him that “De jGustibus non

disputandum est" translated freely into "There must be no arguments over personal taste." Remember that some people eat snails and some consider pigs feet a delicacy. My own father (rest his soul) liked tripe which is the lining of a cow's stomach. So Happy Eating. Everyone!

Capt. Kidd Treasure Hunt

CAPE MAY - At precisely 1 p.m. Captain •Jimmy’ Kidd appeared suddenly and dramatically on the stps of Cape May Convention Hall to the anxious delight of over 200 youngsters from 2 to 12

years old.

The courageous Captain had a pirate hat and treasure chest for each and every starry-eyed child to prepare them for a quarter mile journey to the buried treasure site where $100 in cash and two bicycle gift certificates from theVictorian Village Bicycle shop were hidden. Once Captain Kidd was certain all lads and lassies had arrived, he waved his

sword to start the energetic bounty hunters from Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York. Delaware, New Jersey and even Paris, France. After 60 minutes of earnest digging it was determined by Captain Kidd that all the treasure chests had been unearthed. Richard Hawthorne. 11, of Cape May, and Kristin Bailey, 8. of West Chester. Pa. recovered the chests with the bicycle certificates. PEACE TREATY A Treaty of Peace was declared between the United States and Tripoli on June 3,

1805

Your reporter could see and heai/the enthusiasm of the Panthers as he drew up at Mefnoria! .Field. It was quite a thrill to hear the barking of the coach and the responding roar of the play£i* Yes, the Middle Township fligh School football team is practicing at Memorial Field under the guidance of new head coach. Phil “The. Flex” Exley and his staff, Brian "Muscles” Tetley, Norm "Steelers” Smith, and a new addition John "Harpo" Kaighn. The coaches are enthusiastic and the players are enthusiastic. Practice has been held three night a week since August 1st, but they are not compulsory, Coach Exley pointed. Your reporter estimated a turn-out of 36 memn which was smaller than last week. But what impressed him was the feeling of enthusiasm which pervaded the field.

No one was "dogging it." Everyone was apparently in good condition (could it be the weight program?) And everyone wanted to get the job done. Outstanding in the wind sprints were Buddy Bailey, a potential star if he can last the whole season, Donny Rhinesmith, a tackle but who runs like a tight end, Chris “Wolfman" Nichols, a real "scat Back’’ Anthony Platt, younger brother Dale Platt, Tracy Bethune of that family of athletes, Mark Garcia, Andy's baby Ju’other, and Stevens and RicDermott, new faces to this reporter. When darkness set in the practice terminated with a lap around the field and sfill that feeling of enthusiasm filled the air. Truly, as the Romans said it in Latin "Novus Ordo Seclorum", The beginning of a new age.
