and her husband Sam Wisdom were there and Sam put away any we couldn’t get first. As a great many of you know, Scott Daniels has taken up upholstery as a hobby. He's been studying at the Vo-Tech school in CMCH. He had just finished redoing a barfel-bakcd love seat in brocade and we've never seen a more professional job. All the guests were exhorting him to go into business for himself and he's finally giving it serious consideration. WEDNESDAY. June 8. St Mary's Episcopal Church gave a dessert and card party that was an unqualified success. Emma (Mrs. David) Connor of Avalon was in charge and 96 tickets were sold in advance. The large Parish Hall was attractively decorated with each table wearing its own geranium as a centerpiece. The plants were prizes for the highest score at every table. Desserts were fruit tarts in five delectable flavors — strawberry, lemon, blueberry, apple and blackberry. The weather was finally gorgeous so everyone wore her spring finery for the first time. We were told to bring our own cards, and talk aoout color coordination — Anne Allen wore a silk dress in stripes ranging from blue to lavender and brought cards bearing flowers in the same hues. Serving on Emma’s committee were: Jane Ford. Jean Rollo. Mary Basford, Pauline Young and Carole Leighton. The door prizes were seemingly endless Our table won two; Marlon Meade won a handsome scarf pin and this scribe won what she most needed, a new personal telephone book The most envied prize was won by Marcelle deLaurentls, a $20 gift certificate donated by the Gate House Flower and Gift Shop on the wharf Marlon Meade won the geranium at our table and you can easily guess who had the lowest score. WE HAVE BEEN chatting to people about the June 7th Primary and they've provided some interesting questions and answers. First of all. only approximately 38 percent of the registered voters turned out. Is that because of apathy or insufficient competition? The majority felt it was the latter. At present we have 920 registered voters; two or three years ago we had 1,029 Are we pricing ourselves out of residential voters 9 Many former residents are selling here and moving off-shore or other areas where land is less expensive. People who inherit property are either renting the homes or selling them to others who simply want them as a tax write-off This is not a good situation. After a while there won't be enough concerned citizens to run the borough properly One person we talked to asked "Why don't people seeking office call on us any more? They used to come around and let you

know their feelings on certain issues." The answer to that one has to be "Lack of competition". One thing we didn’t know is, in what manner are candidates listed on the ballot? Maybe you don't know that either — all candidates put their names in a hat and their names are listed according to which number they draw. It's sort of like getting post position in a horse race. One thing is certain; competition is healthy and losing approx imately 10 percent of our voters is not. What can we do to turn things around? THE STONE HARBOR Seniors gave a whale of a 17th Anniversary Picnic June 6 at the Cape MayCounty Park off Route 9. Ninety-seven party loving Seniors showed up to do honor to the occasion and it was a real blast! They played paddle tennis, boccie, long-range darts (thrown underhand) and pitched horse shoes, among other games Following the games came the happy hour; it was a byob affair and what appeared to be tons of good food was consumed in the lovely (for a change) evening air That was only the beginning of the celebration. The Seniors are indefatigable and after dinner everyone was dancing to the music of the Seniors orchestra. We have gotten two new members, Marir and Herman Seri of 94th St Herman was a teacher in ■ Audubon before his recent retirement and on the weekends he played trumpet for a highly successful orchestra. It was our gain all the way. He plays the trumpet like Harry James and even resembles him while playing. 'Hiere were song solof., dance solos and sing-o-longs we don’t understand why the roof wasn’t blown off our pavillion with all He music and merriment. We forgot to mention that thei-e were photographers everywhere so there will be plenty of souvenirs to paste in the Senior's scrapbook for the beginning of their IPth year. Spike and Jim Fisher have done it again. Erch year they corner the market on attractive, wellmannered youngsters for their additional help in the summer months. Therefore, at Seashore Home Supply you’ll be helped by: Seniors: Missy Mules, Western Maryland College; Scott Budd, Skidmore College; and John Barnum, Widener UrJv.; Juniors: Lisa Schaffer, Cabrini College; Vicki Hensel, Shippensburg; Larry Stabb, Villanova Univ.; Betsy Stearns, Marlboro College; Sophomores: John Snart, Ohio Wesleyan Univ.; Allison Svanda. Drexel Univ.; Julia Bauman, Stockton State; and Freshman Susan Hamilton from Gwyned Mercy We wonder how many of you sometimes deplore the lack of convenience of living in a big city? If ycu look around enough you’ll find many of them close ty. For some time we have patronized Court House Stationers for photocopying and pereoialized note paper, meanwhile fretting because there was no convenient artist s supply store. Today Rick Rlxey,

who manages the facility, was on the phone when we ran in to pick up some Liquid Paper and we didn’t see his brother Jim, so we browsed a little. We had always known they carried a complete line of office supplies, furniture and fixed typewriters but while browsing we found they also carry a full line of Grumbacher oil paints, acrylics, brushes, canvases etc. so it’s back to the easel for us. If you think our writing lacks flair, just wait 'til we insist on showing you an original oil attempt — without numbers we don’t have it so good. Alice (Mrs. Scott) Daniels knows we love to read and has been urging us, constantly, to read the novel "Bygones" by Frank Wilkinson. She said "Anybody who has had a Philadelphia background should definitely read it.” I took her advice, got it from the library and read it twice. Now I can’t wait for it to come out in paperback so I can enjoy it again. It was carefully researched and if you have a Phila or Main Line background you’ll be nuts about it too. On almost every page you'll find a name that is familiar, a school or college you’ve either gone to or know all about, dances you, your parents or children have gone to — it’s a trip back to gracious living in the area since 1883. If nostalgia is your dish this was written for you. On Memorial Day weekend we were distressed to watch a strong seagull unable to rise from the water in South Basin. As many as 15 other gulls hovered over it shrieking advice to their fallen com rade without avail. We called friends to see if they could rescue it but noboby had a boat. Never underestimate the young, however. Debbie Porter and Kevin Scheidly, both of Newark, Dela. were visiting their grandparents the Andrew Woolerys (Drew is Asst Harbormaster) and they were equally disturbed so they, in the pouring rain, ran to the edge of the bay. hailed a boast passing in the Inland Waterway and ex : plained it to the boaters (this is so typical of boaters) who immediately caught the gull, freed it fiom a fishnet in which it had become entangled and sent it soaring skyward again. Two kids accomplished in minutes what the rest of us could not.
