mediately of danger; 2, special signal sent by fire siren; 3, police cars with speakers be used to inform public; and 4, inform residents and visitors, by leaflet, where to park cars on high ground and where to seek shelter. It was point 2 to which Chief Foley objected, saying" three lines would be inadequate to handle inquiries". He agreed a leaflet should be prepared, possibly mailed with tax forms, designating shelters, indicating high and low ground areas, and instructing people to keep a radio on (preferably battery-operated), constantly, during storm warnings. r EVERYONE AGREED cooperation among departments was superb, that the special session had been fruitful and at the semiannual meeting to be held June% at Community Hall, jat 8 p.m.. Avalon's council jcould inform residents of jconclusions drawn from experience and, hopefully get further input. We called Councilman Kenneth Hawk, Stone Harbor's Emergency Management Director, to ask if a similar meeting would be called for our borough. He said the matter would be discussed at the regular meeting of Borough Council the following evening. He reported on measures tpken before and during the storm. He was also warned by the county at 10 a.m. Wednesday., the 28th and immediately advised the police and Office of Civil Defense, which worked 7-10 p.m. in preparation for the Storm.' on\Wednesday, from 8 p.m. 'til 1 a.m. the Fire Department warned as many people as possible by phone and vehicles equipped .with loudspeakers of impending disaster. All incapacitated persons, or those living

. were lapping at her door and she and her neighbors were isolated from vehicular aid. According to Resources Manager Jack Warren, water was rising ft the rate of 0.8 ft. per hour t the time until it peaked at 9.1 ft above mean low water. Meanwhile Griff Sloan was driving around in the Blue Goose, an outmoded Army six-wheel personnel vehicle (equally good in mud. snow, sand and high water) collecting people and entinguishing one fire. Phil Judyski, chairman of the Planning Board, commended Sloan for acquiring the vehicle restoring it to working condition and testing it weekly to ensure its efficiency. SUGGESTIONS WERE made for potential future emergencies: Carolyn Burbank said a stock of warm blankets should be ^available at emergency shelters to guard against hypothermia with, if possible, a doctor at every shelter (Dr. Rodolpho •Garcia was on call during this storm). She also offered to give two persons C.P.R. courses if they were interested in helping and would be available yearround. Fire Chief Richard Dean wants a diesel truck with "the stack above water" but on learning the cost, council agreed this warranted investigation; Police Lt. Tony Taylor advised getting at least a ton of sand to bag which people could pick up, in advance, for protection. Many merchants used Kitty-Litter for that purpose. Police Chief Foley said police have only three phone lines available to the public and chaos would result in Council President Glazier's fourpoint proposal were put into effect. They were: 1, Council be warned im-

alone, were evacuated from their homes and taken to Borough Hall if they so wished. The Rescue Squad transported 10 persons to safety. The Fire Siren was utilized at 5:30 a jn. Thursday to alert residents to the morefeared second high tide. Fortunately the wind switched and damage from the second tide was" minimal here. Councilman Hawk especially commended the Fire Department for working 15 straight hours, then spending five-six hrs. cleansing their equipment and, after the storm had receded, spending 6-8 more hours draining flooded basements. He was unstinting of his praise of Red Cross members Hazel Backman and Elaine fathcart and deeply grateful to two

volunteers. Barbara and Jim Hersh of $9th Street, who worked during the storm to aid all officials. We attended the meeting of Borough Council next evening and were shocked to find an audience of only three. Reports there were : No accidents, no deaths, enormous property damage, all dune fence destroyed, but no fear of , what might have happened if the wind hadn't switched. At the Avalon meeting the representative from the county reminded everyone how lucky we were: The wind switched at the critical time, the moon wasn't full and winds could have reached 150 m.p.h. Aren't we getting a little to compla cement, too reliant on public service and dedicated volunteers? We think so.
