Good Rating OCEAN CITY — The city fire department has received a good rating for management, according to an efficiency analysis report issued last week by the state Department of Community Affairs.

Toxic Nuisance

COURT HOUSE - A former Sea Isle City businessman pleaded guilty in Superior Court last week to the illegal dumping of toxic chemical waste in a field off Siegtown Road in Swainton. Francis Block, now of Williamstown. pleaded guilty to creating a public nuisance. The dumpings occurred between Aug. 1, 1978 and Jan. 1, 1979. The site has been rated one of the worst toxic dumps in the state, and the federal Environmental Protection Agency recently listed it as one of the 500 worst in the country. Ostrander for Mayor? WILDWOOD — Convention Hall Director Earl Ostrander is expected to announce in the next few days whether he will seek the mayor’s seat in May. Ostrander, son of incum|)ent Commissioner Wilbur Ostrander, is the first person to publicly state he is considering running for the post. May marks the city’s change from commission to a mayor-council-administrator form of government. It will be the first time voters, rather than the governing body, elect the mayor.

New Agency Aids Seniors-

(From Page 1) ALTHOUGH there are 36 Congregate Services programs in the state, this is Cape May County's first. Housing Authority executive director William G Cottman Sr wrote the application. Ocean City also has applied for funds The authority provides an apartment for the Congregate Services office and dining area, utilities, supplies, the van for transporting meals, etc "Some were leery of me at first," said Mrs Hankins. But they must like it. They come a half-hour early, for the comradeship. It gives them a feeling of having friends. MRS. HANKIN feels that not eating alone is important “Just because you're old, must^ou sit behind a closed door and have nobody?" she asked. "A lot of these people have no family, or they live elsewhere," she said. "I'm a surrogate family. Somebody told me I was like their daughter; they sort of adopted me.” Mrs. Hankin's goals include involving more young people ("so the senior citizens will have surrogate grand-children”), trips for the senior citizens, a buying coop to get less expensive food, and a greenhouse on the roof, a Cottman idea. He envisions a dual purpose: less expensive vegetables and "something for the people to do." Mrs. Hankin was a CETA counselor for the county until that program was cut in April 1981 She works from about 8:30 a.m. to6p.m Monday throiigh Friday and 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m .Saturday and Sunday when the dinner meals are served at noon FOR THIS, she is paid less than she made 20 years ago as a medical technologist, work she still does for her husband. Dr, Melvin Hankin. Her pgjd staff includes two part-time homemakers plus volunteer help from RSVP, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program * At the center of it all is Mrs. Hankin selecting the dinner menu from Burdette Tomlin, offering cakes and coffee to all

residents every morning, whipping up stuffed baked potatoes, soup, cookies, apple dumplings from donated item*. She also provides "oldtime” background music by taping music from her record collection at home. When one man showed up for dinner without first registering, Mrs. Hankin shot home, raided her refrigerator, and came back with soup and a hamburger. He's still here," she laughed. Sometimes all this means dinner for her husband is a little late. "There’s a need for this type of service,” she explained. "I like working and I like helping. I find it extremely satisfying.”

Workers Get-

(From Page 1) THE PLANT OPENED in 1M2 and 'employed as many as 12S hourly workers and 16 salaried employes during peak years. Starting pay for entry-level Jobs was said to be close to 19 an hour and many experienced workers reportedly were making $500-1600 a week. Magnesite is used to make bricks to line steel-mill furnaces. Sources blamed the plant’s demise on lessened demand for magnesite due to foreign competition, especially from Turkey, changes in steelmaking operations which lessened the need for fire-resistant bricks; the general recession; the steel industry's depression; and the plant's own obsolete methods. County to Buy (From Page l) A full-time experienced agricultural pilot has agreed to join the commission staff. Ted Hughes of Tennessee worked last year for Cardoba Helicopter and is very familiar with Cape May County "Ted Hughes is an excellent ag pilot, the best I’ve ever seen,” Hansen said.
