Herald * Untern 21 Mardi '84

We attended our first Chamber of Commerce luncheon at County level this week It was held at Cape May County Vocational School. We were given a tour before lunch and were overwhelmed by the enormity of the facilities, the quality of instruction provided, the age levels it encompasses and the- efficient logistics for such a varied group. It offers 35 courses for high school students, trains the learning disabled an^gives retired people a chance to pursue previously untried career. It is really a big plus for our county. During luncheon we learned tha (4 Trenton was passing a bill, S-1322, to revise requirements for unemployment benefits. The changes will delight many and infuriate others: i.e.. “A corporate officer or owner of a seasonal business will no longer be considered to be

unemployed (and eligible for benefits) during his term of office with the corpora tion’ Another paragraph reads “Effective in 1986, maximum tax rate has been rasied to 7.0 percent. For the two-year period commencing July 1, 1984, a surtax of 10 percent will be paid by all contributory employers”. Local news is that one member feels ‘water conservation measures will be made mandatory. County Chamber will soon be sending a letter to all local communities asking them to designate one week to clean up their unsightly areas, possibly with help from Boy Scouts, retired volunteers or maybe using prison labor. MARCH 1ZTH meeting of American Legion Stephen C. Ludlam Post 331 was a revelation of what the male members and women’s auxilliary accomplished

during the past month. You would never recognize the historic edifice. 1116 immense basement, which only a few realized existed, has been completely cleared by (Commander Bob and his wife Ramona Wilson. The clearance yielded untold amounts of junk; years-old paint, numberless curtain rods, reusable kitchen equipment and many old records revealing the history of the post from the time it was purchased, presumedly from the U.S. Coast Guard. Jerry McCargo of Burleigh restored the outside grounds to order and the mirror-like floors in the old boat room are a gleam from the work of Ken Orr of

turies after his death, probably by an Egyptian resident in the first century B.C. We urge those who missed the first lecture to attend the rest to be held in the same place at 7:30 p.m. each Tuesday during Lent. Gracine McMenamy's Kittens (Keeping in Touch Group) met at Alexandra K ok ones' home on March 13. They were all distressed to learn that Florence Arenberg, a charter member of S.H. Seniors, is currently confined to Burdette Tomlin Hospital as the result of a recent hip fracture. Her room number is 3321 for those who want to send cards.

WE RECEIVED a card from Elinor Good of Stone Harbor asking why Gov. Kean didn’t come to inspect beach erosion in Stone Harbor. She wondered whether it was because our local administrators care only about tourist business and shops? We’re sorry we can't answer your question, Ms. Good, but we’d love to bear from any local authority on the subject. If we get an answer it’ll appear in this column but don’t hold your breath — we re still waiting for the answer to a letter we sent the Reagan Administration six weeks ago re: government spending.. Thanx for your interest in this column. . • • • Richard Haggarty of Faramus and 67th Street, Avalon, came down that nasty rainy, Monday to see his new boat. Classy Lady. which be bougit last fall at

Bridgeton. Commander Wilson and his buddies have ^raped and painted the inffhor so it’s now a handsome ballroom with new draperies supplied by the auxilliary, whose quarters resembled a page from House Beautiful due to the generosity of loyal member and Councilman Lou Clelland. The new ambience is attracting a larger membership too. We understand there are 20 new members from Avalon along with others. The post is now the in place to be! Tuesday, March 13, despite a torrential downpour, the Rev. Michael P. Orel of St. Paul’s R.C. Church, opened his ecumenical Bible-study lecture series at St. Man 's Episcopal Church Parish Hall with an attendance of more than 40 persons of varying persuasions. He chose as his topic the Book of Revelations. Father Orsi is young, attractive, dynamic and, above all, erudite. He described the method known as “Historical-Critical” in

biblical research.

For the less knowledgeable he explained in laymen's words “Redactive Criticism”, redacting means editing which has been done so many times for so many centuries to produce the Bible as we know it. As to time involved historic critics have used archaelogy to verify information in the biblical record, i.e., wisdom attributed to Solomon was written cen-

Harvey’s Pori of Call. He stopped at Deauville Inn in Strathmere for lunch, where he bumped into 144 members of the Avalon Seniors Club having one of their regular outings. He stopped afterwards to see his latest acquisition and ik as excited as a mother with her first baby. Despite the inclement (lousy really) weather we had a bully feed at the Whitebrier Inn to celebrate. Next day he spent rounding up Avalon Plumbing, NJ. Bell, etc. to ready his cottage for his daughter Lynne to open officially for the season this

weekend.

We got a valid complaint from friend and neighbor Aggie (Mrs. A. Wayne, III) Robinson. She told us, point blank, that we were sneaky. In front of witnesses too. She said “If

any other neighbor were going to move, we’d know about it through your column. We only found out about you when we saw the ‘For Sale' signs on your house!*' We didn’t think this would be of general interest to our readers but fact is: Having spent most of our married life between tiny rooms on a boat and rooms large enough to accommodate hand-me-down furniture in an apartment, we went bananas when we retired in Stone Harbor. Having lost our interest in boating, we want smaller quarters tailored to our needs. With luck we can still get to the beach when we feel -fey, see friends we’ve made here and survive what seems an impossible move in our golden (?) and least energetic years.
