On the Friday during their week's stay, an early morning communion service was held on the beach. There were

also group hikes on the beach.

Afternoons were free for the young people's favorite pastimes, and there were many swimming, biking and

boating among’ then!

Il's a house njje thaPeach group is properly chaperoned at all times. One day a refiorter came from New York and made up the kids as clowns and they circulated on the beach. Another day they had a really hot game of volleyball

Among the stars in the circus' 1960 edition are Buck Nolan, called the world's tallest clown, and at 7-2 who’s disputing; and Myrtle, the 'largest elephant on tour.

"The Woodbiqe landfill is the only installation licensed by the (state) Board of Public Utilities and currently approved by the state to receive septage,” according to MUA co-counsel John Mead. "We need to prove to the commissioner of DEP that no health problems will occur as a result of its

extended use.”

MEDE'S COMMENTS

came at the County MUA meeting here last Wednesday. His remarks followed explanation of a letter from the Dept, of Environmental Protection (DEP) which, according to the county authority, indicates the present condition of the township MUA S nt makes it unsuitable

handling additional

wastes without costly

upgrading and expansion. 4 The’ state has directed

the township plant to treat septic wastes beginning October 1, and prohibits disposal of septage into unlined landfills after mid-

March 1981.

THE COUNTY MUA’S Solid Waste Management Plan calls for a lined landfill to be located within the county. Eventually septic wastes will be treated at the proposed Seven Mile-Middle treatment plant operated by the

county MUA.

Through Senator James Cafiero, the MUA has urged state DEP Comm. Jerry English to relax the regulations to permit the use of the existinurWood-

bine landfill.

TOWARD THIS end, the MUA directed that a consultant be hired to test and study the use of the Woodbine facility as a septic disposal site for a two-year period until new facilities are available. "With the results of this ground water study,” counsel Meade said, "nerhaps she (English) will support our plan. The whole county needs the time to prepare.”
