AT A RECENT work session of AvalOn Borough Council, Miyoc Ellsworth Armacost described the aid of several teenagers to help clean up the breach 1 . Under the direction and with the help of the hflyor the energetic group dllposed of four truckloads of unsightly litter. During Operation Cleanup, one young man asked, "Mr. Mayor, what is "there for people our age to do on Saturday nights?" The mayor immediately got in touch with Dave llaberle, the very able recreation director for the boro, and repeated the questions. FOLLOWING AN in-, depth discussion, the two came up with some very positive ideas and henceforth every Saturday night will include an activity planned around special interests of the younger generation, i.e., relief skating, dances, movies oh whatever. Police chief Joe Foley is most enthusiastic about the innovation. FOR THOSE of you who are suffering the effects of the February blahs and can’t afford the time or the money to go South — take our advice and go North. George Tatem andf his wife Betty of C.M.(WI. are both connoisseurs oifliaute cuisine. They suggedfcd we take an hour’s ride up to Sweetwater Casino on the Mullica River (off Rte. 563) and they were so right. We had a table overlooking the river and marina and the best food this side of San Francisco. The complex is steeped in history — If you’re a Revolutionary War buff you’ll go nuts. Speaking of history, George T*tem is a direct descendent of William Penh’s brother and proud that his ancestors include a member of the Blackfoot Indian tribe. Among other interests, George is extremely detive in the Boy Scouts of America organization. THERE ARE many on this island who can take pride in their heritage.

SPECIAL GUESTS at the llth anniversary dinner of S.H.

Tom has culinary,' as well as executive, ability. He bakes all the bread for his family, made it for the senior's dinner, and donated three loaves as (door prizes. Joe and Vemls Pllert of 90th St. provided an even-^ ing highlight — clam chowder, both Manhattan and New England — and not a drop |eft over. AMONG 8 GUESTS who received bottlfes of champagne for p;isi endeavors for the Seniors were Matty Woolery of 85th & 3rd Ave.; who consistently says "Never again” and unfailingly gives more time and originality than could be hoped for...Sara Brady, the stellar vocalist and inspiration of the bowling team...Ruth Fisher, who plans Senior expeditions...and Lillian Dougherty, who faithfully reports on disabilities and recoveries.

AT THE*, FEB. 10 meeting of Stone Harbor . Borough Council, Mayor James Wood officially thanked Police Chief Bill Donahue and his force for their speedy and reasonable negotiation of a new wage contract.

AVALON AND Stone Harbor have, for sometime, had a reciprocal agreement on beach tags; one tag suffices for both ad joining communities. Despite Wildwood’s decision not to charge for use of its beach, the costs of beach m&intainance for the two boros have risen so sharply that the councils and mayors of each have agreed the fees for beach tags must be increased. Mayors Armacpst and Wood have ciifrently agreed, subject to authorization of coDncil, that the new fees will cost $4 per seasonal tag until June 1, and thereafter the charge will be $6 and the weekly charge $2.

AS IF YOU haven’t noticed a few other costs are also escalating. On hearing that President Reagan has removed the ceilings on crude oil, we rushed our two antique gas guzzlers to the local fuel emporium and topped off their tanks for $44! For once we had the smarts — next day gasoline dealers started hiking the price 6 cents per gallon.
