Spring begins in 14 days! Winters are long and lean in summer resorts and as spring nears, many unemployment benefits have expired.

bad pay for a few hours work!! AVALON’S FAMOUS Rock 'N Chair Restaurant and Lounge has new part ner owners. They are Alan Berger, who operates posh cabarets in Ardmore, West Chester, Ambler and Chestnut Hill, and a young North Wildwood executive and civic leader . The local man, \yho is the son of an ex-solon, wishes to remain anonymous at this time. It is not known whether the million dollar-plus sale • price was scaled down. The $1,500 fine levied on the spot for serving, minors happened under the previous owners. If you stumble over the skeleton of a dinosaur in your garden this spring. Dr. Horace G. Richards of Coral Street. -Cape May Point, will be delighted to hear about it. Especially if you find one with the head attached. Dr. Richards was chief paleontologist of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. » Now retired. Dr. Richards is confined to a wheel chair and is now in his 80 s. He used to lead field trips and beach walks around the Cape. Finding a dinosaur in your garden isn't such a wild idea, . either, ^for he points out that Jersey yielded the first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton found in America. THE REMAINS of this prehistoric reptile, which lived in South Jersey about 60,000,000 years ago, were dug up at Haddonfield over a century’ ago and Dr Richards unearthed another in Gloucester County about two decades ago. Trouble is, neither had a head, and the missing skulls have Dr. Richards bothered. What happened to them? One theory is that the head bones, being more brittle, disintegrated. Another is that prehistoric oceans which once covered New Jersey washed them away. That’s what Dr. Richards hopes and he hopes you’ll keep your eyes peeled, too. The Doctor thinks folks are too apt to think of dinosaurs as being remote in distance as well as time. "That they were the only ruling animals where Americans now live," he, says, "is a truth which would make reptiles seem more real than fantastic.” Seeing as how they came 30 to 40 feet long. Dr. Richards, we’ll settle for them as fossils.
