(From Page 1) several fund raising events throughout the country. According to Mrs Gordon, recent federal cutbacks "have especially affected Cape Human Resources." More than $65,000 was lost, she noted, thru the disbanding of the federal Community Services Administration. "HOWEVER. DESPITE this blow. CHR plans to provide the sorely needed services to those in need in Cape May County. CHR must also surmount the additional problems of high unemployment and the hardhsips brought on by devastating cutbacks and the coming winter months," she stated. Sh£ described CHR as an agency "directly helping poor people to expand their financial resources with programs designed to support and sustain daily living." ALONG THESE LINES. CHR provides emergency assistance programs which include energy relief, shelter, food and clothing on a limited basis; medical aid, day care, summer camp, and transportation.

In other business, Coldren reported that two trackless trolleys are scheduled to arrive befpre the first of July and two more portable lavatories will be situated soon at Ocean St. and at Poverty Beach, augmenting a third new facility that now is situated on Decatur St. Poverty Beach will open on July 1 with 400 feet of protected beach. Coldren cautioned there i» some poison ivy off the paths leading to the beach. “That will discourage nude sunbathing," quipped Mayor Arthur Blomkvest. N Is She Too Much —

(From Page 1) conservative on fiscal matters — having voted in favor of President Reagan's economic proposals for example — she is more liberal in her stance on social issues. She has repeatedly opposed efforts by right-to-life groups to outlaw abortion, strongly supports gun control, fights in favor of human rights, supports the Equal Rights Amendment, and opposed moves by religious right wing groups to force prayer in public schools. "I think she was mislabeled by her opponent as an ultra-liberal," says county Freeholder Gerald Thornton. He believes that could have cost her significent votes in the county. "She’s not liberal,” he maintains. "She’s moderate." 41 Agreeing with the freeholder's assessment is County Clerk Angela Pulvino Who believes that Mr. Bell definitely took advantage of the congresswoman’s moderate views on social issues to gain votes on the Jersey Cape. "HE HIT HARD on emotional issues," the incumbent Republican county clerk noted, citing as examples Bell’s emphasis on Mrs. Fenwick's opposition to abortion, prayer in school and the death penalty. Mrs. Pulvino believes these issues will become secondary in the general election

Eleven at 2nd Ave. and Rt. 109, Apparently the existing building on the site-currently housing a real estate office and apartments — would be torn down to make way for the convenience store. ACCORDING TO Ms. Detwiler. before a Seven-Eleven could be built here, the local Zoning Board of Adjustment will have to determine if this kind of operation is permitted in the special Marine Business District. This zone is supposed to be specifically for marine business activities, although the township zoning ordinance does permit the retail, wholesale, processing and packaging on site of goods considered to be "marine related" or "pertinent to marine use." If Southland decides to pursue the pr6ject by requesting an interpretation of the ordinance, it will be the second time in recent weeks that the Zoning Board has had to make a ruling concerning permitted uses in the marine district. At its June 1 meeting, the board decided a wholesale meat processing business to be operated from the former Mdrrow candy warehouse near the foot of the Rt. 109 Canal Bridge — is a permitted use. According to the land use official, last week she discussed with a Southland representative the procedure that will have to be followed to clear the way for a Seven-Eleven in the Landing. She indicated, however, there is no certainty the proposal will ever be pursued, noting the representative said the project will have to be discussed with council.

CARTOONIST Gary Trudeau is said to have patterned his Doonesbury character. Lacy Davenport, after Mlllicent Fenwick. This is the first panel from last Saturday’s internationally known political satire corn-

campaign, the most important issue probably centering, around the state of the economy. While the Congresswoman’s moderate philosophy may have been the main reason for her defeat in the county, other factors may have played a significant role — primarily her age, pipe smoking reputation, and sex. But the consensus among local officials concerning the pipe smoking and Doonesbury image is that, if anything, it only enhances the candidate’s aura. "IT’S ONE OFJIER assets " Freeholder Thornton believds^ "It represents she’s a free-thinking person and adds to the charisma that is already recognized by both yourig and old.” And while age may have been influential to some voters, local officials believe this was probably minimal. "Cape May County itself has a signifi*cant senior citizen population," Mr. Thornton noted. "They can relate to her." . "Age may have played a part [in her loss! but look at the President," GOP leader Matalucci asserted, adding that most of world leaders today are up in years. MRS. PULVINO also pooh-poohed the issue of age as being a major influence in the election, noting that Mrs. Fewick’s experience as a legislator overrides such considerations. The county clerk noted that shortly before the primary, she addressed two ninth grade classes at Middle Twp. High School. Two days earlier the classes had held a mock Senate election — one class elected Mr. Bell, and the other choosing Mrs. Fenwick. When she asked the students in the class supporting Mrs. Fenwick why they voted for the candidate, , they indicated it was because of her “ex- ^ perience." Those in the class selecting Mr Bell said they voted against Mrs. Fenwick because of her age, liberalism and sex. QUESTIONED WHETHER being a woman may have lost her votes locally, Freeholder Thornton responded that as far as he’s concerned, the "best man for this job [Senate seat] is this woman," there are already two women in the U.S. Senate doing an "excellent job," he noted. Whether the congresswoman can overcome whatever problems she had during the primary and win the county in November only time will tell. As far as the GOP leadership is concerned, there’s no doubt about it — when the final tally is made there will be a Republican U.S. Senator from New Jersey, namely Milli-
