News Notes from-

Seven Mile Beach M'Ellen Rowland 368-2294

Warning — We heard a story about a young lady who carefully addressed, stamped and put her return address on each invitation to a sizeable shower she was giving for a friend. She was shocked when informed at the Post Office that the envelopes were too small to be accepted for mailing. She also learned that had the envelopes been put into a mailbox without a return address, the invitations would have wound up in the dead letter office! (Just imagine the ill feelings whirt) would have ensued.) WK CHECKED at the Post Office to verify the story and ran into Ruth (Mrs. Gene) Fisher.' We told her what we'd heard and she said "It’s true — look at this," and fished a mangled returned note from her handbag. We consulted the postmaster and he said, "Right, we can no longer process anything mailed in a less than 3Mex5 inch envelope." BE SURF: to remember this when buying stationery, ordering Chrismas cards or even sending a thank -you note — iind always use a return address. (We’ve already ordered a stamp and pad V> save time. > We expect everyone in Stone Harbor knows Ruth Fisher, the tall distinguished gal with the kind of smile that provokes, instant friendship and may be a handicap to her in that she always winds up being the hard-working manager of each worth" while project she’ undertakes. AT A RECENT Avalon Boro Council Meeting, we met \1aric Jones and discovered a mutual love of antiques as well as an immediate empathy. On stopping to visit her at her home and shop, at 3889 Third Ave., Avalon, we entered as miniature fairyland. Tiny doll houses furnished with minute and authentic replicas of every period of furniture, a great deal of which she makes

herself. She even does encapsulated birthday parties which include miniscule doll guests, with teensy paper party hats, seated around the birthday cake on the table. MARIE. BORN into a family that's been artistic for generations, started this work as a hobby. She has run the shop for seven years and intends expanding into antiques in the near future. Self taught, she gives art classes, during the winter for both children and adults. Gasses will start in October. We were surprised to learn that the making of miniatures has become the third leading American hobby. Marie believes that this is an "educational and rewarding outlet for any age group " THE ARTISTIC genes have certainly prevailed: her son. I^onard, is an unusually gifted professional photographer and her daughter Carol Frkkr has already obtained a copyright for her Emily doll. Carol also makes dolls to order resembling your child. In this writer’s opinion, Carol's dolls will become collectors' items — if they don’t get too much loving care from their yourg (or older) owners. THOSE OF US who love the Krumhhaarx of Stone Harbor and Newton Square, Pa. are said that Dave and Joanie sold their home overlooking the bay, the ocean and distant Wildwood (Jersey’s most spectacular July Fourth view) and are planning to build at Nags Head, N.C. Dave is the highly esteemed architect who was commissioned to help restore Independence Hall in Philadelphia, among other prominent edifices for which he is responsible. He has designed numerous homes in Stone Harbor but he and Bill Sylvester, of A and J’s Home Repairs, Avalon, are proudest of the cottage on which they collaborated which withstood the storm of March 1962 when all the

adjacent cottages were swept out to sea. Dave still has the picture of his family standing among the still-erect pilings under their relatively untouched home. THE ONLY reason we're not devastated by our buddies removing from the island is because we know they'll be back. Joan has her own business and over which she was bom to preside (the obstetrician was hardpressed to explain to Ruth Oherboltier why her tiny infant daughter's thumb was emerald green >. Joanie provides, sees to the lighting effects thereof, and talks to the plants,at posh restaurants and establishments like l.ord and Taylor's in Bala Cynwyd. Joan’s parents, the Mr. and iv(rs. - Earle Oberholtzers. have summered here for years when not yachting on the Chesapeake — so the Krumbhaars have Stone' Harbor sand in their shoes. They shall return!

THE WETLANDS INSTITUTE, on Stone Harbor Blvd. in Middle Township, is about a three minute ride from the center of Stone Harbor. A marine biology research center which is supported by public funds and grants, it owns its own building and grounds; and in return for the use of its facilities, Lehigh University administers the research and education. On Sept. 20 the Institute sponsored a program featuring three speakers about problems related to dredging before an audience of more thap 50 people. THESE COASTAL issues seminars are made possible by New Jersey Sea Grant funding. The fourth seminar of the series will address the Wetlands — both fresh and saltwater — and is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. Oct. 25 at the Institute. The Wetlands Institute is open 9 to 5 Tuesday. Thursday, and Saturday. Admission is free.
