(From Page 1) some resentment of that. We had to overcome this and establish ourselves in the fishing community." The communications specialist for the Advisory Service is Susan Bonsall. She is based on the Cook College campus and prepares the weekly broadcasts of the Rutgers Marine Line, a marine information program carried over 20 radio stations in the state. She also produces ‘The Jersey ShoreUne," the Advisory Service’s newsletter. Consumer information about fish handling and preservation is another part of Bonsall’s job. She cooperates with county extension home economists in planning programs on such topics as how to select a fresh fish in the market and liow to handle it at home. Working with Bonsall in New Brunswick is Frank Pallone, a specialist in coastal law. Pallone advises fishermen and others who live and work in the coastal area on tax problems, the type of permits needes by a marina owner who wants to expand his operation or steps a homeowner must Watch for Deer Motorists should use extra caution at this time of the year to avoid collision with deer. • The New Jersey Division of Fish, Game and Shellfisheries advises drivers to heed deer area signs and reduce speed.

take before building a dock. "I won’t go into court, but I will provide legal information for people who need it in this area," said Pallone. Robin Zimmer, another Advisory Service specialist, is an expert on the effects of pollution on the New York Bight, a triangular body of water that extends from Montauk Point, Long Island, to Cape May. He works out of the Sandy Hook field station of the consortium at Fort Hancock and takes research findings to users and brings questions back from them to the lab for study. Also based at Sandy Hook is Kathy Manger, a specialist in marine education who visits New Jersey school districts encouraging the addition of marine sciences subjects to classroom curricula and suggesting locations for marine-oriented class field trips. She also works with guidance counselors in the preparation of marinerelated ‘‘career-day’’ programs. As the Marine Advisory Service expands in the future, plans call for it to work on limiting beach erosion and on possibilities for farming of the sea, and to increase its assistance to recreational users of the state’s ocean environment. "Marine resources are important to New Jersey," said Murray, "but this fact hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. Therer is a lot of work for us and others to do in this area.*’

Bethel Union American Methodist Episcopal Church of Stone Harbor lost its most faithful follower when Mrs. Sarah Lewis died last month. She came to our island 60 years ago, attended Bethel Church, and later became its organist and a Sunday School teacher. Mrs. Lewis also served on the ecumenical council. Her husband, Aaron, and daughter, Margaret, remain active in Bethel Church, as do Mrs. Hattie McKnight, Mrs. Charlotte Harmon, Mrs. Hattie Roberson and Mrs. Kathryn Anderson. Mrs. Lewis was active in the Cape May Court House branch of the NAAQP, the American Legion Auxiliary of Stone Harbor and the We Women Federated Women’s Club of Cape May County. I talked with Mrs. Anderson the other day and she gave me some interesting facts about the history of her church. This house of worship was dedicated Sunday, August 25, 1918, with services conducted by Rev. O.S. Watts, D.D. Mrs. An-

derson’s grandparents, Helen and David Chambers, were charter members and served as secretary and treasurer, respectively. Their daughter, Dorothy Hah Robinson, who was Mrs. Anderson’s mother, also was a dedicated church worker during her lifetime. Kathryn recalls with nostalgia how the Hall, McCargo and Roberson children all attended Bethel Sunday School together. The Rev. Robert Budd Is the present pastor of Bethel Church. He comes from Glassboro every Sunday morning to conduct services. During the summer months, the congregation gathers weekly; in' the wintertime, communion services are held the first Sunday of each month. Helen and David Chambers were among the earliest residents of Stone Harbor. They came from Philadelphia when the Risley brothers were developing our town and Mr. Chambers worked with them in construction. Their dedication to Bethel Church has sustained three generations.
