^ Of MAN WINTER compounds theproblems of Bill Littlr and his Crest sewage nt crew, composed of ayne Hall. Charlie Guy and Mike McMullen. Since the disposal plant is in the wetlands, it is accessible only by boat across Sunset lake. When the waterway is frozen over, the Crest crew calls on the whirlybird that gets the worm — the U.S. Coast Guard helicopter

from Cape May

Chopper travel is a fairly exotic way for municipal employees to arrive at work. However, it turns out it isn’t all that novel to Mr. Hall. It.seems that he often traveled by helicopter while serving in Vietnam.

IT WILL TAKE many public relations dollars to erase the morst bU of publicity the Wildwoods has ever received. In the February issue of New Jersey Monthly, the State Police chart the ten safest and most dangerous towns in the state'. The ten most dangerous are Atlantic City. Wildwood. Seaside Heights, Stone Harbor, Camden. Asbury Park. RJainfie.ld, Orange/ Ndjwark and East RutherWildwoo<^»nd Stone Harbor reguIaH will find the listing ludicrous as well as false. As any resident knowns. we aren’t even in the crime competition with A.C., Camden and Newark Assemblyman Guy Muziani and area solons have previously objected vigorously to % the State Police listing since the crime rate per 1,000 population is figured on the basic of our year round populatioh, rather than summer population. Isn’t it odd that we can't get an accounting of sales tax revenues generated by our summer population, but can get the adverse publicity of a misleading

statistic table?

THREE LONGTIME Wildwood lifeguards are negotiating to acquire a popular youth nitery in the vicinity of Rio Grande Avenue. They are Tony Siani. Ben Franklin football coach; Chicago teacher Dan Lanno, and Bob Petrella. ex-footballer with the Miami Dolphins. More on this anon as the

sale 1 is finalized.

TED ILLINGWORTH has shuttered the longtime lunch, coffee and chit-chat counter at Anderson's in the Crest. To replace the landmark, he is greatly expanding the variety store and hardware sections of his store, but is open for

business as usual.

NEIL GORDON has add ed Mike Mellon and Sammy I«opez to his staff,, which means you can ex; pect a gourmet-style offering in his new Upstairs at Neil's Area diners are* familiar with the expertise of Mellon and Lopez in their respective depart-

ments.

die’s fondest memory is the roast organized for him at Lifidenwold’s London Inn by long time Wildwood., Cape May entertainers • Patty Barry and Lola Jay. Nearly 2Q0 Delaware Valley entertainers attended. All feathered, furred, sequineed. richly coiffed. Cardin-suited and fancify shirted — the entertainers joined in the surprise tribute. "Agents aren’t the best liked people iq .the world,” S\iez’ schoqlteacher son Edmund Jr.. says./ : ‘So this is one

hell of a tribute to Pop.” Billy Bach, who does

The roasters Recalled Eddie's 25-year office in the late Philly Shubert •building. "Every other agent had plush chairs. Eddie had a wooden bench.’’ Suez has maintained his year-round offices in North Wildwood for more than a

decade.

NO AREA is more concerned with child labor regulations than the Wildwoods. and now Uncle Sam appears to have good news. He is currently reviewing these laws with an eye to updating and easing restrictions on teenage , workers, -according to a Labor Dept, spokesihan. Child labor .regulations vary from state to state, but federal restrictions on working hours and safety around certain types of kitchen equipment have long limited food-service workers. The federal standards have not been substantially changed for about 20 years. Specifically, some of the ^hazardous-occupation provisions and limits on work mg hours for 14 and 15-year-old workers are being studied. Currently these teenagers can work up to 18 hours a week while school is In session. Kids up to 16 are forbidden to d<r heavy! or. dangerous work including operating power-driven food slicers, food choppers and mixers. There are no federal restrictions on the hours 16, 17 and 18-year-olds can work, but the types of jobs they can do are regulated. The Dept, of Labor plans to publish proposed changes in child labor restrictions within the next four months. All should benefit area businesses in time for the 1962 season.
