Received Wayne Robinson's fall News Letter from the Realty Owners Assoc, of Stone Harbor and, as usual, it was worth more than the cost of membership. We were interested to learn that Mayor Arden Hand presented Council with four problems to resolve this winter: 1. Having continuous lifeguard service throughout the summer. Too many left before season’s end last year. 2. Address the Windrift parking problem. Samuel Ells, 129 83rd St. has this to say on the issue: “It’s ridiculous. We provide 300 free parking -places along the bulkhead and around the recreation area which must be policed at least three nights a week luring the season. Why doesn't Council pass an ordinance prohibiting parking there beyond ll p.m. and post signs warning that cars parked in violation will be towed away?” 3. Review the BMX track with the Recreation Dept. The Bicycle Motp Cross track at the southeast corner of 80th St. and 3rd Ave. must be beautified or eliminated. It is admittedly unsightly but after talking to Councilwom,an Dorothea Pfeiffer we favor enhancement since it is used only as a practice track to enable young borough residents to •compete more safely in contests held in CMCH and the lot is zoned light industrial. 4. Address the problem of bicycles. Councilman Jack Fitzpatrick will determine whether to extend prohibition of their use in parts of town er attempt to enlist a volunteer civilian patrol. We have been harping on this subject since we started writing this column, and

feel almost any change must be a betterment. Went to a smasher of a buffet supper given by Alice and Tom Clydesdale. Marie and Herman Siri. Ethel add Charlie Rudrauff, and Marie (Mrs. George) Spence. It was held at the Clydesdales’ magnificent home in Cold Spring. It’s a fascinating house with secret staircases and hidden rooms which Tom discovered when he restored the colonial mansion. It must take Alice two weeks to decorate — there are lights in every window which are visible from a mile away. Toth’s faifidus collection of porcelain ‘Clydesdale horses romped through white angel’s^hair snow under concealed lights and every niche in the many rooms contained some beautiful or amusing Christmas ornament. The clothing worn by the guests sparkled plmost as brightly. The gals all looked like illustrations from Vanity Fair and even the gents outdid themselves with their great variety ofChristmasy neckties. Everybody knows that too many cooks can spoil the broth but that depends on the cooks. Five gourmet chefs in this case turned out a gastronomical masterpiece. Following dinner the Seniors’ orchestra took over and we all joined in an old : fashioned carol sing. Two nighl owls who never know when to say good night, this reporter and our hostess, Alice, talked Herman Siri into^a midnight trumpet jam session. It was so great and for awhile a few of us felt like teenagers again. When you’re getting a little long in the tooth that’s one whale of a way to start looking forward to a new year! Unfortunately Santa Claus lowered the boom on us after that party. We woke the flowing morning realizing that our left hand was paralyzed. Our bete noir of 40 years dura-

tion, bursitis, had attacked again. Our favorite physician, Dr. Garcia of Avalon, grounded us for two weeks — no parlies, no work, no fun. Hence,'no column last week and we’ll have to count on good friends to be our leg men to recount parties we regretfully missed over the Hblidays. We rtiissed Christmas with the family most but this year we would have been able to attend Bonnie Reina’s fabulous New Year’s Eve party for the first time and we had so looked forward to that. Bonnie is general manager of the Herald and Lantern. She owns one of the original gracious, multi-roomed Cape May mansions and we understand every 1 , and we mean every, r6om m her home contains a fully decorated Christmas tree. We also' missed meeting her pussycats, which we love almost as much as our mini-dachs. Long Louie, hates them Bonnie is as much a pushover for abandoned animals as Gertrude Cerny. They both have more kitties than Santa has reindeer. We love parties as much as anybody and we felt deprived to miss so many. However, Dancer, Prancer, Rudolf and Co. brought us gifts to compensate. Ten degress of North Pole air (for which we would have sold our souls last July), eight frozen pipes, one cellar fire, two non-starting cars, one dropped wrist and they forgot to leave the lousy partridge in the pear tree. Thanks to our champion volunteer Fire Department the fire in the cellar was contained and damage was minimal. Our hero, Glen Townley, even replaced furniture . which was moved to test interior walls for undue heat. We learned a lot from our misfortune: Never leave your house for a lengthy duration without having : your water supply cut off, Even if you are at home leave your spiggots running in the sinks if the outside temperature hits 30 degrees or lower. It’s been

five years now nd vve’re still learning how to cope with winter in this environ . ment. Hope we have finally

gotten the picture.

Another thing we’ve learned. If you’re in trouble, Stone Harbor is the place to live. When the house started to fill with smoke Matt Woolery immediately asked us to come to his home. On seeing the fire engines Joey Fisher sought us out to offer us shelter, Jane Boss called to offer the same, Marty Conlin ran up to take our dachshund to her home and as word spread offers of help poured in. Our thanks to everyone — they are

heartfelt

Peg Jones. 274 52nd St., Avalon, who was chairwoman of the Angelas Chorus of CMCH Concert sponsored by the Avalbn Home and Landowners' Assoc. Dec. 3 at Community Hall, called to tell us how enthusiastic she was about the response to the program. She said the evening was nifty in every way. It was heavily attended, an audience-delighter andr best of all, a money maker, since all proceeds from the event go to charity. Peg particularly recommends that other organizations wanting to raise funds for any worthy cause contact the director of the chorus. Sherman D. Scull Jr., to avail themselves of, this group’s highly professional skills Hie entertainment was polished off with wine and cheese when a happy bunch of people mingled, met new friends and got the Holidays off to a rousing start. \ Learned from Mike Zane, an editor of the school publication Avalon Courier that the entire\6th grade calss is reporting on radio station WWOC and received a jar of candy front the station as a Christmas gift. Jason Campbell reports that while Avalon’s team was defeated by the Somers Point soccer team. Brendan Borek still managed to score — way to go.

Brendan!
