Hef guests assembled at Kenny’s to hear the County Surrogate WV Robert Hen* tges, detail the 3 methods of drawing a valid will in N.J ■ \ As honored guest his attractive wife, Dorothy, picked the first number ^n the monthly 50-50 drawing. She was embarrassed by the friendly hoots and cat calls when she drew her , oy/n number. \ Bob’s subject, the drawing of a valid will in N.J. might s'ound a little dolorous.

ONE of the most smashing sights in Stone Harbor is the appearance of Andre' Schroder (a Best of Show winner at Westminister if we ever saw one) faking his master. Andy (beach preservationist) Schroder for his daily exercise. When he isn’t walking on his hind legs — for excite•rient Andre' prances like a hackney pony and is something for dog fanciers to watch. However, when winter turned the whole town, into a gigantic )ce j skating rink the picture •' changed. One night when canine (too elegant io be called pooch) and master were strolling. Andy slipped and was knocked out cold. Andy isn't sure how many minutes later a tall, young, reddish-blonde haired young man came along and assisted him home. Andy's wife Mildred called the police immediately and I they arrived within r minutes. The police called the rescue squad, who took jR* An< * y Bur(,ette - whi,e , they patrolled the beach to find the terrified Andre. The Schroders give full credit to PU4 Barnet' for his prompt action. The • hospital gave Andy a brain i scan and then treated his > broken clavicle. The Shroders are still trying to find the redheaded good Samaritan Ron to thank . ^ him.
