0 ( By I IBBY DEMP FORREST I | LATE JUNE. . .summer is nigh, but :B fleeting. It's harvest time already for fl many plants. Early risers are apt to find B the sun rises even earlier - a little past 4 SB a.m. this time of year. But as June comes B to a close, the sun starts to rise a little IB later each day. Such are the ways of IB Father Time — when summer is nigh, >B he's gradually edging toward autumn. j Independence Day is just a week away, , I just about everybody's favorite holiday. I IB The Declaration of Independence was ■ adopted on this day in 1776. It's always a IB day for speeches and fireworks. Most IB people seem to enjoy the fireworks a lot B more than the speeches, unless, of IB course, you are the speaker. The B fireworks displays always seem to pass IB too quickly. Not so with the speeches. j ■ While we humans like to get to cool H places on hot days, many of our plants B and animals revel in the heat. Cherries, B blackberries, raspberries, currants and IB gooseberries ripen in it, and so do the earB ly apples and peaches. Sunflowers are B growing rapidly now and will begin to j B bloom before hot July is over. So will lots ;B of otherwild things. Keep a lookout. j: j * * * ji I As July gets ready to make its debut, 'IB we want to go everywhere and do IB everything while summer abounds Here |B are some of the best eating places we like B to get to during the good old 'B summertime: j I JU-JU'S RANCH HOUSE. The ribs are B in at Ju-Ju's Ranch House, at 37th and |B Ocean Drive, Avalon, about the best rib :;B house you're going to find anywhere. B even if you're Texas born and bred I ] The recipes are finger lickin' delicious. ;B Our favorite is The Ultimate, bar-bq ribs jB and chicken combo, covered with a tangy B sauce that is unbeatable. Hubby likes the B bar-bq chicken, fixed from an old family B recipe. The kids go for the Philadelphia |B Italian hoagie with a delicious side order iB of cheese fries. There are specials every tB Wednesday and Thursday — $3.95 is all it IB costs for a big serving of spaghetti and IB meatballs, and a crunchy roll with butter. H This is a favorite of grand-pa's because ■ he gets a 10% discount. Dine in or take out )B at Ju-Ju's — either way the cookin' is fH delish. II ♦ * * ■ THE CHALFONTE. Time stands still m at The Chalfonte, 301 Howard Street, ■ Cape May where food has become an H honored tradition in this historic hotel,

noted tor boumern cooKing mat nas v become the focus of national interest. The ample meals are prepared as they have always been and served family style with special Southern delicacies.

TWO MILE INN. Located between ■ Wildwood Crest and Cape May. right at Hj the water's edge on Ocean Drive, the Two H Mile Inn is an authentic crab house offer- H ing house specialties that are excep- H tionally tasty. We like to watch the sunset from the H; Top of the Mast Lounge, while nursing a I -<cool beverage and munching on Two I Mile's fried veggie basket (pepper. H mushroom, onion, cauliflower and zuc- Hi cini deep fried to perfection) Of course, H the Maryland Blue Claw crabs are what H brings a lot of people to Two Mile, in- H' eluding us. The char-broiler is always H turning out barbecued baby back ribs, ■ barbecued chicken and a thick, juicy H sirloin steak ^andwich thaCgoes over just H about any tafne of the day or evening. ■ Draught beq- by the pitcher or mug. IMPERIAL CHIN E S E I RESTAURANT. We have to admit our ■ most favorite kind of food has always I been Chinese food. Not just any old I Chinese food — we are very H discriminating about our Chinese food. I So, it stands to reason that the Imperial I Chinese Restaurant, at 5900 Landis I Avenue, Sea Isle City is one of our I favorite oriental spots Eat in or take-out — the mysterious I flavors of old China keep us well fortified. I at The Imperial. A special dish we like is I ; Beef with Snow Peas. AAther favorite is I ; Diced Chicken with Alrawds. The other H night we brought a parHp)f six and the I ! sampling back and fortlKyas a treat for I j all. There were several Hfties of Chinese I Americans sampling another tables — that says something atxSt}the popularity I j of the Imperial n DONNA'S PLACK^Mere's something I for everybody, no VnattH what their food I likes, at Donna's Pfafg. 107th st. and I | Third ave., Stone Harb®. a mini mall of I food and baked goods.
