To The Editor:

To raise two boys in today's apathetic, “What’s It All About. Alfie" World is, indeed, a little scary. But thanks to you, nameless people between 8«th and 93rd Street ryou’ve made it easier for my husband and I to give our boys a healthy, optimistic, purposeful outlook on life. _ As “paper boys" they served your ared all summer. Of course their original sole objective was to make some spending money. But, thanks to you, they received so much more than money can buy. Thank you to all those people who, when a rain storm came up, offered them shetler and showed them - concern. Believe me, they were impressed by your kindness. Thanks to so many who offered them something to drink on hot days. They recounted to us your generosity to them in awesome terms. Thanks to

Arenberg Family Praised

To The Editor: Please, refer to your paper of Thursday, August 16, - page 21 “Stone Harbor ( Shorelines" written by Jeannette O’May. This article is far from complete in its details. The ArenberMfamily are well liked and wonderful Stone Harbor citizens. Your article was grossly insulting to Mrs. Arenberg. - you only mentioned her son Eric and his family. There is another son Harold of

Cape May Court House and his wonderful family and a daughter. Mrs. John Lebeau her husband Dr. John Lebeau and a son Jay. As a suggestion it might be well to compile all the details accurately before you put them in print and publish. There are a few of us left who have lived here many many years and we know the background of this ole town. Yours truly Mrs. Harold W. Griffin

forcement process in our state and we cannot afford to allow it to die of complacency and neglect." "When the extension was considered by the Assembly earlier this year, one of our opponents, as usual, wasn't even there to vote." Livingston added. "It's important- that this and other critical matters be reviewed and voted upon by our legislators." Wilhelm noted. "South Jersey’s voice must be heard in Trenton by Assemblymen who. unlike our current representatives, are there to vote on all important bills such as »this."

TO: Residents of Middle Township I believe the recent statement placed in the Atlantic City Press by two young men. regarding the old Dia$ Creek School, was in error. They didn't take trie time or seek to find the Whole truth about the building or its grounds. This project comes under the direction of the Middle Township Recreation Commission not the Township Committee. The Recreation Commission, along with a local contractor. inspected the building and found that it would cost roughly $20,000 to make the building structurally sound. If the Board »of Education, who turned the building over to the Township, had performed preventative maintenance over the years in order to maintain a stable structure. and vandals had not ruined the outside, tom the plumbing and electrical wiring from the inside, and Father Time taken his toll on the old building, maybe it would be a workable plan to do as they suggest. But all of this DID NOT happen and now- we are left with an unsourid structure that people want to turn into a political football. In the Recreation planning, we have made

plans to put a playground, basketball court and two (2) fields for Little League Baseball or softball on the property. This can be accomplished with few taxpayers dollars. I am Carl C)--Baker, President of jheltecreation Commission, and would like to tell the people that this land was spoken for to accommodate projects that the children in the area could derive pleasure and recreation from at feast 12 to 18 months before these people started pointing fingers. We have just revamped the Old Quonset Hut on Railroad Avenue in Cape May Court House for a place where Senior Citizens and children can use it as a Recreation Center. We plan to open this building on September the I5th and dedicate it to bur former Mayor, LeRoy H. May - The building will be called the "Capt” May Community Center". If the people of this Township really want to know the truth concerning Township matters, attend the Township Meetings and the Recreation Committee meetings and not read half truths that are placed in papers. Carlo. Baker. President Middle Township Towrtkhip Recreation Commission

WASHINGTON, D C. — Congressman BUI Hughes (D-NJ) has proposed legislation that would halt the ocean dumping of dredged material laden with PCB’s, heavy metals, and other harmful sub-

stances.

"The dredged material being pumped off the nation’s coastlines is a serious environmental problem," said Hughes, a prime ^Congressional leader iry^fforts to halt the damaging practice of ocean dumjkng. “Bottom sediments are dredged from fivers and harbors in heavUy industrialized areaC-SUch as New York Harbor and the Lower Hudson River, and then dumped in the ocean. This dredged spoil is often loaded with dangerous materials, such as PCB’s, lead, and oil."

"I feel it is time to end this destructive practice," Hughes said. He noted that his South Jersey Congressional District is located near the ocean dump sites for much of the dredged material. "The oceans are an extremely valuable economic and environmental resource. The ocean dumping of contaminated dredged spoil presents a serious

threat to our fishing and shellfishing industries as well as to our tourism and resort businesses," he said. The Hughes legislation calls for all ocean dumping of dredged material to come to an end by December 31,1981. It would halt dumping done in connection with a federal dredging project and that done by a state agency or private company in compliance with a permit issued by the Army Coprs

of Engineers.

Hughes said the proposed legislation would fit in well with his earlier legislation to ban the dumping of sewage sludge and industrial wastes by 1981. The ban on dumping of sewage sludge was signed into jaw in November 1977, while the ban on dumping industrial wastes is now awaiting action by the House of Representatives. Dredged spoil is by far the largest single source of material being ^dumped in the ocean. In 1977, nearly 60 E011ion tons of dredged material was discharged into.the ocean. In contrast, sewage : sludge and industrial wastes together totalled just over 7 million tons. "These figures clearly indicate that our nation’s efforts to halt ocean dumping should include dredged materials," Hughes stated.
