Help is needed this month! It isn't unusual for public officials to occasionally get letters praising the performance of duty by municipal employees, but Slone Harbor Mayor, James Wood received a notr earlier this summer that was out of the ordinary. It was from Pat Gernert of 88th St. who wrote a poem about how courteous and efficient the lifeguards were in caring for her daughter's friend who cut her foot in the water: Now the Lifeguards at 87th 84. are really grand. They can keep any situation right in hand (the poetic tribute began; ending with: ... Now Mr. Mayor. I could rave on with much more praise. But instead I say ‘Give 'em all a raise! Her note concluded in prose: Thank you for keeping the quality of Stone Harbor so high. Gregory Martin, son of

Father Wesley Martin of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Stone Harbor looks like a Christmas Tree Angel when wearing his white acolyte's robe on Sundays, but there is a lesser-known side to Greg. He started taking karate lessons at the age of six and got his white belt last October. After moving here to live, he resumed his lessons in Venthbr. This year he advanced to the Orange Belt and Father Wes and Greg’s mother Glnny rewarded him with a ringside seat at the '76 Dinner Theater production of Fiddler on the Roof. ••• H.V.

Junie couldn’t help them at that hour. Wa mentioned this to Stone HarW Pn*ee Chief BUI Dsnahne who said we’d be amazed at the number of families in the same straits who showed up at police headquarters on weekends this summer. ••• Mrs. Pauline Moore, now of Wallingford, Pa., wrote us the other day to give us this tidbit. She first came to Stone Harbor in 1923 and stayed at “a little two-story house off the comer from Third Ave." In 1906, her father had built 284 83rd St. and it was the first home in Stone Harbor. She spent her vacations there for many years Then her son bought 246 where her daughter Mrs. Virginia Walton Jr. presently lives. “I HAVE SEEN a great many changes ... homes where there used to be fields' of bay berry bushes, always lots of birds." They fished and she caught her first flounder. They went crabbing at the turn of the tide, and Mrs. Moore remembers picking hundreds of crabs. Anyone for nostalgia? •••

True angling tales arc as good ai the fishing this year: Robert Eldon, the builder from^ Cape May Court House, Harry Keen, one of Avalon's best-known plumbers, and Realtors Robert Haines and Bill Watson, chartered Cpt. Jay’s 44' Spring Fever out of Cape May and headed for Wilmington Canyon, north of Baltimore. They had a longer day than expected when Bob Eldon hooked a 241 lb. BigEye Tuna, The four men took turns playing the 81inch long fish and Eldon landed it after six strenuous hours. The Finale? Nope, they got stuck overnight in a dense fog bank 2Mi hours from Cape May but nobody was complaining. At $1.45 per can of tuna, who could?

'Yt House. We Iteten to the great rythms of Helen and Eddie Bart lam. They play 32 Latin rythms alone and can fill any request of your favorite song be it a waltz ora polka. Formerly Helen was the country music star of Helen Kay and the Kaydettes. She spent a year with Mid-Western Itayride. There were 40 in this troup including headliners like Minnie Pearl and Bock Owens. Eddie at age 15 started recording for RCA with luminaries such as Bob Eberle, Vaughn Monroe and Mr. Music himself, Benny Goodman. When Eddie plays the trumpet, you can close your eyes and swear it's Bunny Berrigan. Helen had retired but resumed her career in a hurry when she was widowed at age 31 with four children to support. When she met Eddie she was impressed by his stories of the Big Bands and shortly thereafter they joined forces starting with a fivepiece group called Going Brass. Four years later they were married but playing with different bands. After three years of being apart on New Year's ^ Eve they came home with the same idea — Never

Again.

They started out as a smashing duo and it's a beaut. Helen accompanies Eddie who plays at least five Instruments and is also the percussionist, on an electric organ which does everything but talk. They now havi six children and live in Wildwood. One son, Donald, plays the organ and the trumpet at the Golden Eagle in Cape May. The Bartlams are starting an innovation at the Broadway Lounge on the first Friday in September a Sing Along-
