Lautenberg Sees Job Training aa^rucial

by Bob Shiles ON THE ROAD — Job training legislation signed by President Reagan last week — aimed at providing job training for oite million people a year won't significantly counter the nation’s present 10. l per cent unemployment rate, according to Democratic U.S. Senate.candidate Frank Lautenberg Pointing to the legislation as a "step certainly in the right .direction," the candidate said in a telephone interview while on the road, last Thursday that the bill, replacing the Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA* "unfortunately comes to late to turn the tide around" on rising unemployment. * "No, I don't think the bill will be able to significantly counter the unemployment rate,” Lautenberg asserted. “My preference would have been to u%e a system that includes the private sector directly in the training where possible. He (President Reagan) has a private sector advisory board, but I like the system that enables employers to hire people to train and perhaps place them on a more permanent basis.”

The voter registration rolls are down this year from 48,836 in last year's gubernatorial election and 47,93V in the 1980 presidential race. Five of the questions are statewide while the remaining are strictly local issues in Cape May, Lower Township, Wildwood, Wildwood Crest and Upper Township. Most controversial issue is a non-binding referendum on a freeze on nuclear arms escalation. It asks the voter whether he or she supports a mutual United States-Soviet Union nuclear weapons "freeze" and urges the American government to propose to Russia that both countries immediately agree to "a verifiable halt" of all further testing, production and deployment of nuclear warheads, missilesoand delivery systems as a first step towhrd "mutual, balanced reduction." It alsoasks* that the money saved be applied tb "human needs and tax reductions.” / OF AT LEAST equal interest locally is a state-wide question on riparian land/?.

Fenwick Pushing Home Health Care for Elderly

UNDER THE BILL, being pointed toby the Administration as the nucleus in its fight to counter unemployment, some $4 billion has been provided for job training. Nearly 70 per cent of this has been targeted at training workers in the specific skills needed in individual communities "I do think the training is a key factor,in our society." Lautenberg went on. "We do nofhave the trained people to support the businesses of th^future — the electronics, the automation, the computer business. It's nlill), certainly a step in the right

SEAMAN TERRY HONOR, left and Apprentice Seaman John Schlegel display their artistic talents on a buoy anchor weighing 22,000 pounds. Anchors are lowered from the Hornbeam's deck into water. This Lady Commands A Lot of Respect

by Jacob Schaad Jr. CAPE MAY — She is a 38-year-old lady, as frisky now as when she was 16. Her body is strong and supple, moving with a grace that complements her umfcual lifestyle. Thousands from far and near ogle her annually, others handle her with the care befitting of a very special lady. Her name is Hornbeam and she is a ■ pride of the U.S. Coast Guard station hero She is a 180 ft. ocean going buoy tender, one of 27 of her size in the Coast Guard, and it is her job to keep the navigation flowing in the Delaware Bay and offshore waters. This lady, born April 14.1944, has lived a life of history. On July 27,1956 she rescued 45 survivors of the SS Andrea Doria when it collided with the SS Stocfeho/m 45 miles south of Nantucket Island. During the Cuban Missile Crisis she was dispatched to San Juan, Puerto Rico, to aid in the shipp ing quarantine. She participated in the dramatic rescue of the fishing vessel Gan net in March of 1971, traveling through

hurricane force winds and 30 ft. seas to reach the stricken tassel 70 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, her courageous actions winning her the Coast Guard Unit Commendation Ribbon. LADY HORNBEAM, named after a tree, as are all 180 ft. buoy tenders, began to grace the Cape May County scene in 1977, attracting the attention of vacationists and year round residents watching from the beaches. As recently as last June she was very visible when she pulled to her deck the remains of a Navy helicopter that crashed into the ocean before astonished vacationists on the Cape May beaches She and an 82 foot patrol boat, the Point Franklin, were the first units to repoM to the scene of a mutiny on a Liberian taMer at the mouth of Delaware Bay Their presence settled things down until three weeks later the FBI and the Coast Guard law enforcement cutter, the Alert, arrived (Page 32 Please)
