Big things are being planned for the 70th Anniversary of the Lutheran Church of Our Saviour in Stone Harbor. In 1910 Anna (Mrs. .lens) Salvesen invited some children into her home to celebrate the birthday of her son, Oscar. She also decided it was a

golden opportunity to infuse a little religion and this ecumenictfT service was the beginning of the Sunday School which started what later became the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Our Saviour. On Sunday, Sept. 11 at 3 p.m. congregants will

recall the ministry of the "Assembly by the Sea” as they meet Uncle Allan (Dr. Charles Chamberlin) and his helpers at 88th St. and the beach. This ministry began with Dr. Chamberlin's father, the original Uncle Allan, in 1922. Dr. Chamberlin will summon celebrants to the service by blowing on the conch shell. This is symbolic, since it is used worldwide in religious rites. Later he’ll demonstrate his expertise on the trumpet during musical events. Participants will include long-standing members of the church like Ixniise Horner, Sarah Gordon Chamberlin, Elizabeth Gordon Tiffany. Peg Wear Grimes and Dr. Jack LeBeau. There will be songs, stories, bible verses and games. Informal attire will be expected because of the games. Representing this generation, the new pastor, Dr. Glenn Schoenberger and his wife, Kathy, will be present, as will Pat Miller and Dottie Young acting as consultant. This will be the kick-off of a month of events commemorating Our Saviour's 70th year and we’ll keep you informed, but this is the most important, so let's plan to be there and become part of the archives of a beloved local place of worship. • • • IF YOU HAVEN’T already made your reservations for the S.H. Women’s Civic Club trip to Bally's Casino' on Tues., Sept. 13 don’t delay! Remember reservations are only valid when you have paid for them, and there are only five spaces left. Becky Bailey (Mrs. Rius) Is in charge of the jaunt and will be delighted to collect your bucks if you get to her on time. Ten dollars will be refundable in quarters when you reach the casino, Bally's is in the heart of things afnd you can go to the Ocean One Shopping Center and spend up a storm without a qualm if gambling is your husband's thing. Libations will be served on the return trip to celebrate wins and sooth qullty consciences as the case may be. Just call Becky at 368-1768 to be part of the fun immediately. • • • The Stone Harbor Lions Club is already fully organized for its biggest night of the year, The annual Raffle Benefit for the Helen L. Diller Vacation Home for Blind Children. The exciting drawing will be held this year at the Windrift Hotel at 80th and the Beach in Avalon, on Sunday October 2. An open bar and hors d’oevres (much more like a dinner really) will be served starting at 6:30 p.m. Only 200 tickets will be sold for two people to attend the excitement. You need not be present to win but you’d be missing an awful lot of fun and melodrama if you weren't present ^yhen your lucky number was called and your chances of being a winner are incredibley good. Since there will be 20 fabulous prizes and only 200 tickets sold this means that one out of every ten tickets will be a winner. There will be two Pocono

weekends for two,' three Microwave ovens, three 19-inch Remote Color TV’s, four Disney World vacations for two; three Bahamas Freeport Flings for two, two Jamaican Vacations for two. two Hawaiian Holidays for two, and if this isn't more than you can believe already the final grand prize Is a\1984 Mercury Lynx. The drawing takes place in an original manner, the tension mounts until the last number is called and we'd suggest you bring a tran- ' quilizer for the closing minutes. Tickets may be purchased at the Rocking Chair Restaurant and Diller & Fisher Real Estate. Arlene (Mrs. Quentin) Sternbergh of 108th St. called us yesterday to see if we'd be interested in watching the second launching of the three-foot tug boat "Natalie Ann" built over a three-year period by her son-in-law, Mark Bresler. It is built exactly to scale and with attention given .to the slightest detail. It is powered by batteries and electric motors and is named for Mark and Anita Sternbergh Bresler's young daughter. People line up to view this tug in action — if you see a crowd bayside, park and take a look. It’s well worth it. On Thursday evening Aug. 18, Rick and Mary Ensslen of Avalon gave a dinner and outrageous costume party for the fast disbanding summer help at Seashore Home Supply. As we drove up we were greeted by a hostess who could have knocked the socks off Dolly Parton (we hasten to add, the actress). We thought it was Jane Ensslen. another beauty, until we noticed the blonde curls in our hostess cleavage. It was actually our host Rick, who had been turned into a perfect ten by his wife Mary. It was a great evening, not at all spoiled by Killer Bees who were in fact Mary’s brothers Spiros and Jimmy. About 50 people turned up, including Alexandra Kokonos on crutches in s Catsup-stained bandages, Auntie Marne and her redhead nephew, Patrick, in his short trousers, school cap and flowing tie. Mary was host in a black business suit and after serving a mouth-watering meal of hamburgers, hot dogs and the best baked

beans we ever tasted she got the younger set started on volley ball and other games. While the volley ball was in progress somebody started screaming with fear. A hitherto unseen guest was found unconscious under the trees. Everyone dashed s to the rescue and was shocked when the victim, Mildred Llllemon, made a sudden recovery and jumped to her feet laughing at the rest of the guests. She was unanimously voted most outrageous guest of the

evening.

We attended the most posh party possible at Grade O'Brien's dreamy home, 484 West 7th St. It's the annual big-do of the Avalon Garden Club and Grade always makes her home, grounds and doubledecks available for the benefit. This year was the sixth year for the party and each year it gets better. The weather was ideal which didn’t hurt and among the boats which passed and hailed us was the Miss Avalon II. Pauline Young and Dot German cochaired the event with a lot of help from Jim German on keeping the afternoon running smoothly. We saw lots of people we knew; Mayor Rachel Sloan.

Never underestimate the outreach of the press and it needn’t.be the N.Y. Times or France-Soir, eithar. This week’s Herald and Lantern hadn't been on the stands for two hours whep we got three calls about this column and we hadn't even seen it ourselves. The first was from a pal who remembered she hadn’t checked with us about an item she had wanted to have included. The second was from Penny Doering of 14) 21st at.. Avalon, who callfd to tell us she had a 1972 Beach Tag for a collector who was missing one for that year ,This revived a friendship dating back to our salad days and bobby sox years when we also liv ed on 21st St. The third call came from Ed Thompson of 2959 First Ave., Avalon, also offering a beach tag for '72. Few people have understood our fascination with newspapers; in turn, we can't understand those who don’t read them from masthead to the last classified.
