CHIROPRACTIC FOR BETTER HEALTH

DR. JOSEPH J. RIZZO : xpaoHMcroi -

Spinal misalignments are not always caused by a severe strain or a violent accident. Any somewhat unusual activity may be enough to move a vertebra slightly out of alignment Such simple chores as washing the car, raking leaves or spading in the S rden may be too much ' us if we are unaccustomed to such effort. If the slight subluxation oc-

curs in the lower neck or between the shoulders, and is left uncorrected, pain and muscfe ~sp£sms may occur in the shoulder, neck and arms. Chiropractic spinal adjustment locates and corredta vertebral misalignment

By KRISTEN RAMMER CAPE MAY - Some might think that giving up two steady incomes in these economic times in order to open a shop is crazy, but Bill and Betty Sue Adams, new owners of the Village Woodcrafter, 678 Washington St., feel the

opposite.

“Sure, it may sound crazy to give up our teaching careers and the benefits, but we decided to' go for broke,” said Bill. “We want to control our own fate instead of being controlled by our jobs.” Running their own store is not new to the couple which has been operating a woodcraft shop in Cold Spring Village for the past two summer seasons. However deciding to quit the teaching profession and branch out to Cape May area is a new experience. "I’ve been teaching for about 8^5 years and Betty Sue has been teaching for about 34 years,” Adams explained "And I think I can say that we both felt that we weren’t able to totally dedicate ourselves to our work anymore. Teaching was just too regimentated. The bell rang and you were expected to perform. The bell rang again and you were expected to cut it off. There were too many bells and it was too structured. I guess we were both suffering from burn-out.” he said. ADAMS SAID he felt that education has become strictly a business and that °tpcem for the students is almost gone. We both decided that we had given teaching a chance and wanted to try and make our hobbies our career," he said. The couple started making their hobbies their careers during the past two seasons at Cold Spring Village. Bill Adams works primarily with woodcrafting and Betty Sue does most of the stenciling on wood. While working in Cold Spring Village, Bill Adams also built the

Capers Escape Gas Hike

FOLSOM - The 27,000 new customers in Cape May County recently acquired from New Jersey Natural Gas will not be affected by a rate increase recently granted South Jersey Gas Co. by the state Board of Public Utilities. Under agreement reached with the BPU, the rates for these customers will remain at their Oct. 1. 1963 level Other customer bills, effective Nov 1, reflect a 2.5 cents per therm increase, which represents increased costs of gas purchased by South Jersey Gas from its principal supplier. The BPU has approved a 16.9 million increase in the company's Raw Materials Adjustment <RMA) charge, which will be borne by the company's customers in Atlantic, Cumberland.

Gazebo, which was selected to be the logo on the stationery and adver-

tixing and Damnhlets.

"It was a lot of work and sometimes I would be up at i a.m. to work on the Gazebo before I had to go to school, he said. That's another thing about teaching, I had to work around my schedule too much. But it’s very rewarding to look back now and say “wow, I built that.’ ” HAVING DONE so well in Cold Spring Village, the couple decided to open their shop in Cape May on Victorian Weekend. The Village Woodcrafter will be managed by Betty Sue. She hopes Upkeep it open year round. Bill wants to focus mainly on furniture and

woodwork restoration.

"We don't want to pass ourselves off as a standard gift shop. That’s why our sign reads "The Village Woodcrafter Welcomes You To The Restoration

Shop.' Bill explained.

"I think Cape May is a great market for someone to do and repair original furniture and woodwork because of the nature of the town. There will always be homes - which need work and want to mintain the original lines and structure. I’m the kind of person who is willing to take the time to do the little extras that will make it look more

authentic,” be said.

BILL AND BETTY SUE are high-school sweethearts from Clayton. They both attended Glass boro State College and were married in Bill’s senior year. He received his degree in Industrial Education and Betty Sue got hers in Special

Education/Pre-scbool.

After years-of teaching everything from special needs to adult education, they moved to Cape May Court House Before their recent career transition, Bill was teaching at

Hie couple hope to continue to operate their Cold Spring Village shop during the summer season. "We really wanted to be

in Cape May, but we like the concept of the Village, too, and didn’t want to give up our shop there," said Bill. "Hopefully, we can have the best of both
