By LIBBY DEMP FORREST MID-JUNE — Aren't you glad to be ■ alive at this time of year? (At any time of I year as a matter of fact. ) These are the lazy, hazy days of nearI summer when the earth is full. The rush I of plowing and planting is over, and ■ farmers are nurturing crops toward the ■ time of fruition. At dawn the birds' sym- ■ phony makes music in the air. j »** » ■ It's been asked before in poetry and j I song — what is so rare as a day in June? * ■ We can't think of a thing that equals the I bliss one feels as summer's draw nigh. I Thursday a week, on June 21, the Sum- ■ mer Solstice will occur at 12:Q?'a,m. i M E.S.T. Thus, get ready for the longest day ; I of the year. I *** As time moves on its course, this week ■ marks a great event in the lives of many B local youngsters — the last days of B school. Even we jaded adults have to give , B pause to that exhiliarating moment of * B long ago when we raced out the school B door for the final time on a June after- ■ noon. What can compare to that moment I in a child's experience? Lots of flowers to gaze upon this week ■ and next. Hydrangeas will soon to coming B into their glory in the yards of our shore B towns. Enjoy! When it comes to enjoying the shore ■ life, we can't think of a better w->y to do it B than going out to dine. Here are a few of I our favorite places : I' DRAGON HOUSE CHINESE. Chinese I food never goes out of style, and the I Dragon House Chinese Restaurant, at the I corner of Pacific and Lincoln Aves., ■ Wildwood has a landmark for 25 years, B serving the finest in Chinese cuisine. Nothing quite equals the Oriental ■ delicacies from the kitchen at the Dragon I House. Authentic Cantonese, Mandarin ■ and Szechuan food are served daily from ; B 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. so that you can enjoy : B Chinese cuisine nearly anytime. It's not ■ occidental that the Dragon House has en- ! B joyed an outstanding reputation over the ; B years. The ancient culianry arts of China B are more popular than ever at the Dragon B House. *** URIE'S. Who's got the reef? Who's got I the beef? Who's got the fish fry? Only ■ Urie's, of course, offers two full-scale

restaurants with totally different atmospheres to put your bite into. At Urie's Reef & Beef Restaurant, on Rio Grande Avenue near the bridge in Wildwood, find a casually elegant Carribbean atmosphere, that puts on a French accent. At its' landmark location, Urie's Fish Fry restaurant, on Rio Grande Avenue at the bridge, Wildwood, the accent is on seafood made famous by years of nautical experience. Both Urie's employ friendly, professional help Beverages are equally satisfying at either location. ***
