'Jews Notes from The Wildwoods Charles V. Mathis

A little sea gull tells us the Miss America Pageant chief, A1 Marks, is favorably impressed with Wildwood’s bid for the Miss New Jersey Pageant. The event is slated for July 5-8 and will include a Boardwalk parade. Pageant social'events will kick off July 1 for a full week of

festivities. .

for many years, the Jaycees sponsored the state pageant in Wildwood. However, in those days we had no convention hall ajid the pageant objected to the Wildwood High auditorium as the site. Reluctantly, they switched the pageant to Cherry Hill until such time as Wildwood had a convention hall. At feast one Jaycee was very happy be took part in the pageant, as he met his future wife, who won the state diadem that year. She is now better known locally as Mrs. James Cafiero.

Frances Burke, a summer resident with the Kensington Debs, won Miss America itf 1940. It was a short hop from Magnolia Avenue for Ms. Burke to pick up her crown. The only other Wildwood colonist to place nationally was Suzanne Plummer, who was first runner-up in the nationals. She is now a TV star in I-as Vegas. * * * Many Wildwoodians enjoyed the Orange Bowl, including a local graduate of the University of Miami. Bob Doherty. Others present included the Bolero's Harry “Jeep" Hamiltons and Ken Goicb.

DUE TO a tighter budget, the motel association won’t be replacing its executive director Tom Parsons, who resigned to chair the public relations bureau. Parsons reports Ringer. Bowl, the beachfront cork ring "-stadium for our only national eyeni, the Mables Tournament, will receive a face lifting. “Sports Illustrated” and the national media will cover the June event. Efforts are being made to have a national celebrity crown the champion. Such luminaries as the late Arthur Godfrey and Kyle Rote have crowned previous champions. In addition, efforts are being made to tie in miniconclaves of national collectors of marbles, baseball cards and other memorabilia. Parsons implemented the highly successful motel plan that furnished most child guests with identification bracelets, similar to those used in hospitals. These were a boon to lifeguards and police seeking to reunite lost kids with their parents. This season, Parsons wants to take the program a step along with color coding of the beaches. Each beach from Diamond Beach north will have a color that a child could easily identify as his home base. Herman "The General" and Connie Phillips provided the excellent food at North Wildwood's LitUe Club for over 20 years. They are now retired from the cooking business but will return to the pots and pans for special events like an Avalon -birthday party for their famous sons. Dr. Herman and Richard Phillips were North Wildwood lifeguards in the 60's. Herm was a lieutenant. He’s now Doctor Phillips and is the Philly Eagles team orthopedic consultant and chief of staff at Paoli Memorial Hospital. Brother Richie, an attorney, is attracting national coverage as sports lawyer for baseball and basketball referees and many National Basketball League super stars. Needless to say, their birthday fetes attract a sprinkling of jock celebrities sudi as Paul and Cass Westhead. Paul, an ex-North Wildwood lifeguard, is head coach of the ChiCago Bulls in the NBA. Locals at the most recent Phillips birthday fete included Ruth Dagostino, Mike Coogan and Andrea.
