Herald & Lantern 7 December *83

Stone Harbor's annual Christmas tree-lighting ceremony will differ from last year and start a new tradition. In former years trees have been donated by residents who wished to have huge spruce trees removed from their property or by someone so imbued with thespirit«of giving that he furnished one without charge. It was always placed at the intersection of 96th St. and 3rd Ave. This year, the powers-that-be decided it would be more appropriate to have it closer to Borough Hall. Consequently, on Monday Dec 12, at 7 p.m., the program will start at Stone Harbor Elementary School, as usual, with the singing of Christmas carols led by the school chorus. Here we depart (tom tradition. fhoFire Department has offend the use of its awqfd-winning float to lead the parade of carolers to the smaller, but still grow mg. 6-foot blue spruce in front of Borough Hall. The mayor and three clergymen will be on hand to conduct the ceremonies. Following the tree-lighting, the Rescue Squad will be serving light refreshments to all comers in the Fire

Father Westley Martin; and treasurer, Quentin Sternbergh. The officers of the Women's Auxilliary will be installed the same evening. They are: President MarioR Hornsby; vice president Ruth Eckhardt; recording secretary Eileen Connor; corresponding secretary Jane Owings; sergeant-at-arms, Ramona Wilson; and chaplain Mary Rowland. One of the nicest things, about belonging to this group is that the men and the women have their meetings the same evening and a short period is devoted to congeniality when business is squared away.

WE SPENT an incredibly happy Thanksgiving because we invited three Recruit Seamen from Tracen, the Coast Guard Training center at Cape May, to share our dinner. We hit the jackpot! At noon at Tracen's Chapel we picked up Eric Ketchian, son' of Edward and Jenny Ketchian of Monsey, N.Y. ; Chris Rastallis. son of Anthony and Marianne Siderio.of Blackwood, N.J. Three more refined and well-informed gents you’i never met. Within minuU we were all at ease, taught us the strii rules to which the^ adhere, tne Coast QAard lingo and the penaltti infractions of

only

^ Marine Corps is more rigorous.

Their loyalty to Tracen is unbounded. Their interests are varied: Eric's hobbies are scuba diving, hiking and fishing. He hopes for a career as a marine scientist; Chris is athletically oriented; he was captain of his school’s tennis team and played football. His hobbies include fly-tying, fishing and hunting. Marc is also into sports; his hobbies are boating and spelunking. His family and he have summered at Sea Isle City for years. He’s planning a Coast Guard career and will graduate with our other guests Dec. 9. On Dec. 13 he’ll be marrying the gal he left behind. Denise Cucunato. If y«^ have room at yodr Christmas table we most heartily recommend your getting in touch with Gertrude Reiss, phone 884-1587 and join her in Operation Hospitality which she runs with Chaplain Brown of Tracen for the Red Cross. Either this columnist or the compositor erred when we announced the date for the Garden Club’s Dec. meeting and auction as Dec. 14. That should have read Monday, Dec. 12, at 10 a.m. at the Fire House. Proceeds from the auction go to benefit of our valiant Volunteer Fire Dept. Three things were very notable at the recent fire at the McCartney’s, at 310 84th St.: William Stokl risked his life to save a friend,

according to Det. Sgt. Solis and onlookers; builder Glenn Townley. who lives farthest from the scene, was among the first to answer the call to fight the fire; and Jane Boss was on the scene offering Shelter to those who needed it and later provided coffee for the firemen. In this town, when you need help you get it. ~ l Ronald Jost, principal of ,the Avalon School, has recently undergone surgery on his back. The surgery was pretty extensive but you’ll all be glad to know that it was successful and be is recuperating at the Betty Bacharach Rehabilitation Center, Jim Leeds Rd., Pomona. In his' absence Rona\d Bonner is holding down the fort with the cooperation of students and staff.

Pledged Ramp Nixed; Too Costly-

(From Page 1) companies” and the best price she could get for lumber was $1,000, and that included a 10 percent discount. •i WENT TO ALL the business organizations,” she said. "’Hiere was no response. They’re not interested in charitable work. They'd have everybody calling and asking fora donation.” Design of the ramp was contributed by Tuckerton architect Arvand Padwal, husband of Mindy Padwal, Bachrach social worker. And carpenter Bill Dwyer of West Cape May volunteered the labor. "Mr. Dwyer calls me every week to ask if I have the material,” said Sheik. She said the ramp was costly because Regan has a small-front yard and the ramp needs two right-angle turns. “We are following state regulations for a handicapped ramp,” she said. "It could endanger the individual not to.” AN ORGANIZATION that specializes in ramps for the handicapped is checking the project with the intent of making some donation, Sheik said. The Atlantic City Council of the Telephone Pioneers of America, volunteer organization for telephone company employes and retirees, is supposed to look at the situation this week. But council president Ellen Johnson said 'll,000 was “an awful lot for lumber, too much. We built a ramp for a higher house and with a right turn for $600 in Atlantic City," she said. “We don’t just give money," said Johnson. "We like to buy the lumber and do some of the work.” Sheik, who can be called at 729-9200, said anyone interested in contributing for the ramp should make a pledge rather than send money since “if we don’t get enough, we would just have to send it back." The 17-month-old department, she said, has $520 in its bank account and $3,000 worth of food. In the 10 months she has headed the department, she said, it has received cash donations of $580, goods and materials valued at $7,331, and is averaging 300 volunteer hours a month. •WITH A VOLUNTEER project, nothing is guaranteed," she said. "Many,. many people in this county probably could"

use a ramp and don’t have the money to buy one. Groups in this county are not funded well enough to help individuals." Regan lost her leg because of diabetes and poor circulation. She was in Burdette Tomlin for 81 days, Bachrach for 57, before coming home in September. Bachrach fitted her with an artificial limb and a therapist works with her twice a week. She is visited three times a week by a represenUtive of Jersey Cape Visiting Homemakers. She stopped getting Meals on Wheels because “I’d rather cook myself.” Friends and neighbors help her and her family doctor comes to the house, she said. She was a Comptometer machine operator in the auditing department at Wanamaker's in Philadelphia for 43 years. She and her husband, Earl, moved to Villas in 1963. He died in 1972. She is a member of the Democratic Club of Lower Township and the Lower Township Rescue Squad Auxiliary. *

Rename It (From Page 1) Lower Township not only suffers a sour image, but also an identity crisis, Bowman complained. The National Historical Landmark District has international recognition but, griped the builder, "No one ever heard of us across the county line." Lower’s name, dating to 1723, apparently was the result of an unimaginative founder faced with a northern-most municipality called Upper Township and the mid-section of the county called Middle Township. The negative reaction to “Lower" doesn't happen Uv neighboring Pennsylvania. The Lower Main Line is considered as high class as the Upper Main Line. And its Lower Merion Township is regarded as classier than Upper Merion Township. If Route 9 were renamed as the Cape’s "Main Line," perhaps the same phenomenon would happen here. Meanwhile, Bowman will continue his effort to raise Lower's saggy personality.
