This show is one of our town’s outstanding events so even ‘tho you don’t want to compete be sure to stop in and enjoy the fruits of your neighbor’s labor. Connie sands of the Sandpiper Galerie, 10629 Ocean Drive just called to tell us that artist, Marie Fisher who moved from here to Florida several years ago has returned to her old home, Stone Harbor to give an exhibit of her latest paintings. Connie will be giving her. last showing for the season on Sat., August 20 at 7:30 p.m. at an openhouse in the Galerie. There will be refreshments as always and the public is invited.

Marie is a member of the Florida Water Color Society and the Miami Water Color Society. She is active in the affairs of the Marathon Art Guild and Key West Art and Historical Society where she won first prize in 1963. She has held showings in Capetown, South Africa, Johannesburg and Bloemflenten. For several years Sears Roebuck and Co. have been purchasers of her works and this show will reflect her impressions of local scenes including Hilton Head, S.C. and Key West where she describes the water as being like a collection of emeralds. Her new home has expanded her horizons but her works show that she has never lost her love for Stone Harbor. Connie tells us she agrees with the Chamber of Commerce that our season here should be extended and with this in mind, her Galerie will remain open until Christmas Eve. It’s a boy for Rick and Eileen Buzby Zuccato. He was born August 8th at Burdette Tomlin and Eileen had a rough time of it.

(From Page !) board ...," county Freeholder William Sturm said Friday. "I have no quarrel with the present hospital administration. "I was never asked or called or anything; I was kind of upset,” he added, referring to his listing as a candidate. "I love Sam DeVico — he’s my buddy — but nobody gave me the courtesy of a phone call.” ROBERT C. PATTERSON JR., executive director of the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce, was also listed as a potential governor candidate. He said, however, that he was not consulted about being named nor is he a candidate. Kevin Hart, chief of the Lower Township Rescue Squad, declined to comment on the •matter beyond a spokesman's remark that Hart planned to ask for a retraction from the daily paper which listed him as a potential candidate. Ann Zahora, director of the county Office on Aging, said she was "absolutely amazed” when she saw her name listed. She said neither she, James Walsh of Rio Grande nor Joseph Fahy of Cape May had been contacted before their names appeared as potential candidates. "I was kind of shocked; I was kind of surprized,” added Mayor Peggie Bieberbach of Lower Township. She said Friday that she had not been consulted either, but had not yet made up her mind about accepting a candidacy. Her colleague, Committeeman Thomas Clydesdale was also listed as a potential candidate but willingly accepts the title^ "We’ll run a slate of candidates against whoever they run,” he said. “I guess the only reason my name was put up was because I’m active in the township." DeVICO WAS NOT disgruntled by the Meters Bilked . (From Page 1) and Police Chief Harry Stotz, neither of whom was available. » Although only announced Monday night, the terminations reportedly took place two weeks ago. The mayor said city police investigated after they noticed parking meter receipts were down. He said all information was turned over to the county prosecutor’s office. Parking meter receipts were an issue last spring when the city proposed raising rates from 25 cents an hour to SOicents. The Chamber of Commerce led the opposition to the hike and charged meter collections were running at 40 percent efficiency. The city subsequently dropped the higher rate proposal, but extended the parking meter hours and season.

reactions. Those named as potential candidates were actually nominees recommended as candidates by members of .Friends of Burdette, he said. "I don’t think, at this point, half of them know about it," DeVico said of the nominees Friday. Aside from ruffled feathers and possible requests for retractions, the issue about who would stand as Friend of Burdette candidates was closef to a resolution Monday night when the organization met at DeVico’s house and formed a selection committee to choose its candidates. According to DeVico, the following people indicated their interest in standing on the Friend’s platform: James Otton, Stone Harbor Realtor; William Darling, a Middle Township marina operator; Mary Joyce and Judy Smith, Lower Township civic leaders; William F.X. Brand, a former FBI agent from Lower Township; and Dr. Theodore Johnson. Middle Township superintendent of schools. "Those are just some of the candidates,” said DeVico. "Others have expressed an interest and desire and they’ll be reviewed by the 35-member selection review board." FRIENDS OF BURDETTE candidates will face seven of the 10 incumbents governors on Feb. 28. Those 10 are: William Koeneke of Wildwood, pharmacist Floyd J. Langon of North Cape May, beautician Mary Fischer and Frank H. Foster of Woodbine, John Holland of Ocean View, lawyer Vincent Lamanna of Sea Isle City, Rev. Cass Shaw of Cape May, motel owner Virginia Way of Wildwood Crest, CPA James Tracey and Dr. Robert Sorensen, both of Court House. Sorensen and Holland will most likely be among the three governors reappointed to the board. Holland served on the board! committee that recommended Nanavati’s dismissal from BTMH; Sorensen has filed a libel suit against Nanavati. Unofficially organized months ago, Nanavati'9 supporters officially organized Aug. 2 as Friends of Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital to "restore control of the hospital to the community.” Besides fighting the board's election policy, the group collected 1,700 signatures on a petition asking for Nanavati's reinstatement. THE CARDIOIXMHST’S sharp criticism of Sorensen, chief of BTMH cardiology, led to the hospital medical staff's decision to fire him several months ago. The board of governors backed up that decision, but Nanavati had his dismissal blocked while Superior Court reviews the dispute. The Indian physician, who contends that he was dismissed because of racial prejudice, opened Resort Medical Center in Rio Grande last month near the major northbound ambulance routes to BTMH from the heavily populated southern Cape.
