Pat (Mrs. Gus) Miller. 225 99th St., a Sunday School teacher at Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Stone Harbor, told us a remarkable story about how mysteriously God does move. Drde Harris, one of the historians of the Sunday School, is a descendant of Mrs. Jens Salvesen, one of the church's founders. From the church files and records she has collected news clippings and all sorts of memorabilia from 1914 to the present time. This summer the church hopes to celebrate its 70th Anniversary, calling it "A Month of Sundays '' In the earliest days the Rev. Allen Chamberlain started an Assembly by the Sea. holding devotional services on the beach, RECENTLY SUNDAY, Services have bfeen conducted by candidating ministers and on the Sunday of the Blizzard of '83 word was received that the scheduled pastor for the day was unable to reach the church Members managed as best as they could to admit the congregation. They were pleased when one visitor from Avalon arrived and introduced himself as a retired Lutheran Minister from Arkansas who was staying with friends in Avalon. They explained their plight and asked if he

would be so kind as to deliver the sermon that morning. He said that he was naturally unprepared but would be delighted to help out if they would take that into consideration They gratefully accepted and when he spoke one might have thought he'd spent weeks working on the sermon. Only after the service did they learn he was the son of Allen Chamberlain, who initiated the Assembly by the Sea!

Roadside Tests KO Half of Vehicles

TRENTON - The New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicles' roving, roadside inspection teams stopped 4,348 vehicles in January and issued rejection stickers to 2,376 for safety defects or viol- lions of the motor vehicle laws. "That's a rejection rate of better than 54 percent," said Clifford W Snedeker. Director of DMV, "which is 5 to 6 percent higher than we experience in our inspection stations." MUNICIPAL POLICE working with the teams issued 2,123 summonses and impounded 97 vehicles on grounds that they were unsafe vehicles, unregistered or being operated by unlicensed or suspended drivers. Twenty-one drivers were arrested — 11 because they were driving while suspended and four because of outstanding warrants Another of the drivers arrested was operating an uninsured and unregistered vehicle that was considered unsafe and ^as bearing fictitious plates, while the driver was unlicensed. In most cases, the rejection stickers issued to motorists give them 30 days to make the necessary repairs and have the vehicles reinspected. However. 37 vehicles were in such poor condition that the owners were given only 48 hours to have them repaired or removed from the road. OF THE 4,348 vehicles stopped for the five-minute safety inspection, 2,000 were passenger autos and 1,340 were commercial vehicles. A total of 1,104 passenger autos failed the test, while 1,230 commer cial vehicles were rejected. Of the eight motorcycles tested, five failed

The owners of roughly 49 percent of the vehicles stopped were issued sum monses by the municipal police for various infractions. Sixty-seven percent of the 1.123 summonses issued were to motorist who had no credentials, no insurance or who had failed to have their vehicles inspected or repaired. SINCE THE roadside inspection program was launched in September. 1982. 27,307 vehicles have been stopped and 14,419 have received rejection stickers, a rejection rate of nearly 53 percent. There also have been a total of 9,970 summonses issued by the local police officers working with the four-man DMV teams and a total of 555 vehicles impounded as unsafe, unregistered or being driven by unlicensed or suspended drivers "THE ROADSIDE in spection program is a pilot project that has shown positive results in helping us locate unshfe vehicles, uninsured drivers and drivers who are breaking the law by continuing to drive after their privileges have been suspended," Snedeker said “That is why we plan to increase the number of teams operating around the state from the present five to 15 teams later this year "We want motorists to realize that they must maintain their vehicles in safe condition and that we are going to be looking for them if they continue to drive while suspended for previous violations and if they attempt to operate uninsured vehicles," Snedeker said
