qujte the same, and seldom do thdy use the same approach twice They're flim-flam operators — experts in conning unsuspecting individuals out of their hard earned cash. Their typical mode of operation is* to approach someone and offer what they claim is a quick and easy way to make a bundle. All it takes is a little cash investment and onp’s on his or her way to "easy street." UNFORTUNATELY. HOWEVER, what usually happens is that the poor vittim hands thJlflim-flam operator his cash and before he khows it, the rogue is on his way to parts unknown. Such operations are common occurrences across the country, according to , Cpt. Larry Dalton of the Lower Township •t Police Dept. \ "All persons should be carefiil about ^uick-rich schemes," the officer said. Dalton acknowledged Sunday that an elderly man in the’Villas Was thken for $3,600 in cash la^t week by an unidentified flim-flam artist. The only description was that the culprit was hifnself a senior citizen male. This was the first such incident reported in the township. SINCE THE INCIDENT IS still under investigation. the officer declined to release further information. He cautioned, howpver, that all businesses and individual residents — especially the elderly — should resist dumping cash into quickrich schemes without first checking their validity thru proper agencies. •.*"They (flim flam operators) will promise you anything," the police captain said. He added that senior citizens arc likely to be targets because they usually have their savings in a local bank and are eager to find ways to guarantee they will live .comfortably the rest of their lives on retirement income.

DOFFING HER HARD HAT (for picture purposes), manager Ann Jennings takes to the front-end loader for a scoopful of bottles at the recycling plant. Recycling Expresses Her Talent —

(From Page 1)

P vegetable garden and landscape the area outside the warehouse "This is my operation," she said. "My job is to run the operation properly. I also want it to look nice." Jennings oversees several handicapped employees who are working at the facility through arrangements with the Jersey Cape Diagnostic Center. They are beirtg trained to help- unload the dump trucks, sort newspapers, magazines and 'aluminum, tie bundles, sweep floors and paint the building. “I enjoy working with the handicapped." the manager said. "I treat people with kindness and I get paid back

with pluses "

She ha* "served as an art and music therapist at the Pennsylvania State Hospital She was an artist at the old Madame Tussaud’s Wax M|«eum on the Atlantic City boardwalk ana restored the figures which sometimes arrived-with broken parts. "I liked the figures to look as life-like as possible and when a wax figtire would arrive with hands {hat did not appear as real as they might, I would spend hours, sometimes ’til 5 o'clock in the morning, remaking them and sticking in hairs." Jennings' new job also requires that she spend time visiting schools to talk to youngsters about recycling and the environment. As a single parent of two daughters, she feels many children today are concerned about their bodies and what happens to nearby landfills and water- , ways, "I don't like smoking," she said. "If

people around me want to smpke. that’s their business. But I don’t like to inhale

those fumes."

When she goes to the supermarket, she buys "only good, nutritious food. My daughters and I eat some meat — not much tho. We mostly have fish and/ chicken, fresh vegetables, fruit and nuts.’/ fn her homelife in Upper township, Anfi enjoys making gifts for (pends out of junk ' ' sh(Phas collected. She also reveals her creativity in-her approach to r dressing on the job. "I like to wear clothing that is feminine. I’m very much a lady, but this is a cold, damp place in the winter so I start with insulated underwear.’ I wear knickers and high, laced leather boats, slacks or jeans, but I like soft blouses with jackets.'’ Jennings'studied for her art career at New York University, then became a supervisor in a law firm before joining the wax museum. She was offered various •jobs, but when ah opportunity came up to work for the MUA, it served as a catalyst a for her talents, environmental philosophy axid supervisory abilities I care about people. God has given me I a talent. As an artist l.can look at all this and see the potential we have to work with*. The newspapers will be recycled into more newspapers and that provides reading material for people. The glafts could be recycled into some artistic form. Maybe some glass manufacturer in Vineland will recycle the bottles into art glass, " she said staring at the huge pile of multi-colored whiskey and beer tyttles.
