FIGHT INFLATION WITH FISH!

□ Z D O cc < DC < Hi

sSS SALE THIS WEEK ONLY:

Another week of nonfishing has gone by. and there's still no activity on mackerel or cod off Cape May I did receive a letter from Boh llertzog of Haddon Heights, and Bob told me of hearing about a school of mackerel that had been off Barnegat ridge all winter Needing some fresh air. and some distance between telephones and himself, he went to Barnegat Light, and took a ride on the head boat Doris Mae IV They went to the North end of the ridge, and found those Bostons. Bob wound up with 60 big fat mackerel and 37 whiting, and then he gave up and started, cleaning them. He said it must have been a goodsized school, because there were also several trawlers worffing them. I HOPE those Bostons move south, so that we can enjoy them too. The only other news I have is what Jack Osborne passed along to me in church Sunday. He and I^*n Verity of the Villas just arrived hack from Mexico where they caught and released 15 sailfish — four of these were taken on 12lb test, and Jack got a 120pounder on this same test line. They plan on going back in a couple of months, and I can't blame them in light of that kind of fishing. NOW LET ME tell you about 1980's theme by the National Wildlife Federation. It's called 'Save a place for Wildlife '' More than 15 million school children, teachexs. and conservationists are expected to use this theme as they observe National Wildlife Week. March 16-22. The 1980 National Wildlife Week poster animals are two young red foxes, photographed by Brian Milne of Thunder Bay. Ontario. More than 800.000 copies of this poster will be mailed to National Wildlife Week participants. The National Wildlife Federation, which has 4.1 million members and supporters, will also distribute 597,000 of a second poster which bears color photographs of 16 species of wildlife with information orj each animal in English and Spanish hacking up the pictures Teachers across the country, as well as in Guam. Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands will receive 394.000 Wildlife Week education kits, which St. Joseph Sets First Grade Sign-up SEA ISLE CITY - St Joseph Regional School registration for first grade students will be 9 to 11, Feb. 11-15 in the school library.

Stone Harbor. Woodbine and Dennis . Township and parts of Middle and Upper Townships Call 263-4296 for further information between 9 and 3

contains posters, activity booklets, and badges Youngsters will receive 65,000 smaller student kits. • HABITAT IS the key to a healthy and abundant wildlife populations.” said NWF President Scroggin. "Without habitat, there would be no wildlife. But as our demands for more homes, more food, and more energy continue to mount, we are putting ever-increasing pressure on our remaining wildlife habitat. Insome places, we are needlessly and recklessly destroying wildlife habitat.” (we can sure agree with that, in light of what is happening over on Stone Harbor Point). “One of the big challenges of the 1980’s is to settle the conflicts between our own needs and the needs of our wildlife. We must save a place for wildlife." NOW THAT’S allwell and good, and I agree with it 100 percent, and with President Carter’s official proclamation on 1980. calling it the "Year of the Coast." But it's going to take a little doing too. This new move by the Stone Harbor Borough Council to develop the grass-covered dunes past 122nd St. is a tough one to swallow. It can mean only one thing, and that is that they (the council) is going to remove the last ridge of protection on that barrier beach — of course there will he some people who will say that houses will protect the strip just as well as sand dunes, but in the 1962 storm, hoascs proved to be much more fragile than our grasscovered dunes. The mayor of Stone Harbor is reputed to have said. "We have more to protect here than a few jackrabbits." (Shame on him). AN OLD TIMER once to d me. "Let them build hoases right in the break of

the Ocean, and mother nature will show tnem just how fast she can wash them away." We saw it in 1962. When are we going to learn? I’m concerned now, also, for the fate of the bird sanctuary. If these folks get away with this move. I wonder how long it will be before they try to get at that valuable piece of property. I know that my writings won't stop this attack on our last natural habitat in Stone Harbor, but maybe it will help slow it down until a better study is made.
