safety of Sevin and its need to combat heavy infestations of the defoliating moths THREE ATLANTIC County women, meanwhile. were successful in court of temporarily blocking the' state Agriculture Deportment’s Spraying program. A court hearing was scheduled for yesterday. The USDA’s spraying program is separate from the others and is designed to combat the spread of the moths by people driving in and out of campgrounds. It is that program which apparently will begin early next week. Ml municipalities in die county except Dennis Township and possibly Upper Township have decided against joining in the state spraying program using Sevin LOWER TOWNSHIP

Mayor Tom Clydesdale Monday nlghf gave assurances to a cqfcecned woman that the township will not spray Sevin. The woman said it was important for the township to publicize that fact since, she asserted, there are many young women reluctant to come to the shore until they can be assured there will be no spraying — at least while they are here. According to the woman, her expectant daughter-in-law refused to visit her husband's folks in the township until she was assured there would be no spray The USDA advises people living near campgrounds, especially women of childbearing age, to remain indoors until the spray settles, generally considered to be between a half-hour and hour.

The (Republican challenger said he believed those affected should know the history of the "order that affected them so seriously." The law that went into effect April 1 was passed in 1976, he explained, and mandated that anyone receiving public or private retirement pay, including Social Security, had tq have their unemployment benefits cut by the amount of their pension. ,The original law was intended to prevent retired civil servants and others with large, adequate pensions from receiving more government support, commonly called doubledipping." ' NEW BILLS are in the works on Capitol Hill which could provide relief to the individuals whose Social Security pensions are too small to live 6n, Mr. Fox continued. However, the House passed one version of the bill, HR 5507. and the Senate passed the same thing in another bill, HR 4612, and nothing- can happen until they agree on one final bill in a con-

According to Fox, the issue reinforces his call for "more common sense on Capitol Hill. "The voters are starting to realize that if they can’t change these counter productive policies coming out of Washington, then it is time to change the policymakers in the November election,” he asserted. hors d’oeuves and a special dinner arranged by the Chalfonte will add to the gaiety of this charming event from yesteryear.
