Saturday Night Live (From Page 1) Grande Mall. FINALLY. AlXlGER revealed that Hiram Chittandom was missing because he had elofcd with a woman from Chillicothe ahH they were honeymooning in Tallahassee. In the next week’s mail Hiram received 65 congratulatory messages from listeners. The Chittendom’s now have a daughter. Her name is Caledonia Chittendom. While the music of thft big bands and their singers dominates "The Make Believe Ballroom.'' there is one song that is inescapable on Saturday night. It’s Cape May County’s national anthem. "On The Wav To Cape May." By popular demmid. Alligcr plays it at least once, sometimes . twice, every Saturday night.' ^ * "If I don’t play it. I get phone calls, he

points out.

"On The Way to Cape May" has a mystique of its own. Written in the 50’s, the song has no known sheet music available and the identity of the writers, both said to be deceased, is somewhat of a mystery. There are only two recordings around and Alliger believes he has the only copies. One is By Le Roy Bostick, now a nian in his 90’s, and the other by Franny Green, a Philadelphian who appears here in the summer in Avalon. It is the Green recording that Alliger plays on Saturday night Despite the absence of sheet music and the dearth of recordings. "On The Way To Cape May" continues to be the big hit of the county’s barrooms. Virtually every combo playing the Cape May Circuit in the summer knows the tune by hearsay and plays it without ^id of sheet music for the vacationers al^vcll as for the local people. ALLIGER IsVdoing a lot to promote the song. To thoseSpho write to the radio station requesting copies he mails out the words so they may sing with the recording Saturday nights. In the pas^ year and a half he has mailed out 5.000. In addition, a new recording is being made by Rick

Mora no, singer-musician, who operates the R-Dee recording studio in Del Haven. He and Alliger expect to make the record available to the public, next year in time for the summer vacation season. On the flip side will be a newer song, "Smile , You’re in Sea Isle City,” which was written by ASCAP writer Eddie Dean of Wildwood Crest to commemorate Sea Isle’s 100th anniversary. * “The Make Believe Ballroom” is now six years old. starting at station WCMC in Wildwood in 1976 and moving to WWOC in October of 1980. So popular has it become that Allfeer is getting requests to do similar shows In other states. One of them has already materialized at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where his taped show is heard every Sunday night over WGMD from 8 to midnight. Just recently he signed a contract to do the show for WXVA in Charles Town, West Virginia, and he is considering other offers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. * Alliger, who also owns about 1,000 classical and show tune records, is fortunate to have in his possession several recorded promos for his program he requested from people of the Big Band Era. They include Lawrence Welk, Don Cornell, Jo Stafford Ray Anthony ahd Paula Kelly of the Modernnaires. Although he arrived a bit later than most aficionados of the Big Band Ertf, Alliger is just as enthusiastic about the period as his elders. "I can't say 1 dislike rock and roll," he says. "I have a sizable collection, but in, rock and roll there is very little melody. In the music of the 30's and 40's you can hear the words and the melody." Which is his favorite band of the 40's? "That’s like having a lot of children and asking which is your favorite child," he answered. "I like them ail and my favorite depends upon what kind of a mood I’m in at the time."

We all see sin so differently,

You may choose one quite willingly

That I may truly fail to see; But there is one we’ll all agree God looks on most distastefully: To ever hurt deliberately.

How Many Smokers Will Quit

Nationally. 17 million smokers tried quitting on Smokeout Day and* five million made it through the day. Two weeks later, a Gallup Survey showed three million who quit still were not smoking. ALTHOUGH 54 million Americans continue to smoke, the number of people who have quit has- increased in recent years, according to the American Cancer Society. Currently there are 33 million ex-smokers in the United States. The smoking survey will only be a small part of Cape May County’s Great American Smokeout. Special programs will be held in the schools to encourage children to stay away from the habit. Films and talks are on the agendas. "We will try to get the message across to .as many children as possible," said Harry Posternock of North Cape May, a nonsmoker u’ho is in charge of the local Great Anqelican Smokeout ." We will try to nip it ic bud where smoking usually starts, long the young." Helen Pulaski, executive director of the Cape May County unit, said a non-smoking
