day the Fourth of July turns into the Froth of July for the adults. Once again The Serenaders, that dedicated group of musi cians who so perfectly reproduce the Big Band sounds of the 40's and 50's under the direction of our Own Walter Wagner will be forth On the 96th and the Beach ParkLot. The concert starts at 7 : 30 p.m. but go early and take your own folding chairs. Everybody adores this , event and in case of inclement weather a rain date will be\ announced. Daytime ivents will take place 24 hours later in case of rain ana kids should be to register in the morn i n g for a~Lfe moon activities.

THE AVALON Garden Club is planning a new event for this summer in conjunction with Learning's Run Botanical Gardens on Rte. 9 at Swainton. It will be a search to , determine which is the loveliest garden in Avalon. It will be titled Avalon's Flowering Garden Contqst. All avid Avalon gardners are invited to participate — there will be no entry fee but you must make your ^ entry by phoning Catherine McMenamin at 967-5360 or Emma Fraim at 967-5357 by July 10. Judging will be done by Glenn Aprill of the Learning's Run Gardens after Aug. l. Aprill has donated a bronze plaque to be awarded to the winner on a later date. This year the flowers should rival the ocean as to beauty. Those gadabout S.H. Seniors are off and running again. They are planning a bus trip to Brickman's Resort Hotel in the Catskills for Sept. 7,8,9, and 10. They will be leaving Stone Harbor at 9 a.m. on the 7th and returning 2 p.m. on the 10th. Brickman's is one of those delightful places where you> can be busy every second swimming, golfing or playing dozens of different games but if you're going for a rest ydu can just sit around apd watch the leaves change color The grub is delefetable and we guarantee more than you can eat. The package is unbelievably inexpensive, we think, so

i make early reservations by calling Ruth Fisher at i 368-1421. ON SATURDAY, June 23, Dot and Jim German of 408 24th St., Avalon, gave a Welcome Home Surprise cocktail party for Elsie and .Milt Kuhn. The Kuhns have owned a vacation home at 327 39th St. for some years but recently Elsie retired from teaching and, like so many of'us, they decided to make this their year-round home. Each guest was asked to bring an easy Avalon-Iife-style gift for the retirees. These ranged from the very practical, i.e., paper cups and plates, to the hilarious. One guest brought a jar of sand and Ray and Lee Francis awarded the prize for being Avalon's best tour guides to Jim and Dot German. They are tour directors for Avalon's Senior Citizen's Assoc. The handsome award was a pair of "un-sequined" white gloves with the words Tour Director printed on the backs. THE CAPE MAY County Chamber of Commerce met June 21 at the Rusty Nail in Cape May. The meeting was well attended and committee reports were given by Patricia Nagel. Transportation: Craig Garrabrant, Legislat i o n ; Larry Boyer, Tourism; Larry N'ewbold. Agriculture; Ted Roman. Executive Committee; and Allan Taylor asked for approval of 18 new members

Principal speaker was Joan Bench of the New Jersey Division of Taxation. who spoke on the Issuance and Acceptance of N.J. Tax Exempt Cer tificates and distributed information for new residents and businesses. This is In the form of a light green brochure callejhNew Residents and New-Jersey Taxes. The reason we are so \ specific as to color is that it . contains a gold mirteUHe-/ formation and can.be picked up at the chamber ( building at Crest lHaven Road and Garden State Parkway This is^only one of dozens of useful pamphlets which are obtainable in this office The next chamber meeting at county level will be held Thursday, July 19, at the Golden Inn on Dune Drive. Avalon Becky and Russ Bailey, Arnie Morris, Paul Scarlett and Dotty Stump teamed up to give a great big bash of a dinner party June 23. Even in Dotty's huge roomy cottage on 95th Street, it was quite a crush - and so much fun. There were so many people there we never even got to speak to two of our favorite couples'" we saw at a distance. When we first arrived we thought we were improper- 1 ly dressed because Viki ! Wear came floating out to meet us wearing a I smashing long blue and I green taffeta evening i dress. We felt better when I she said she was going on to I the Commodore's Ball at I the Yacht Club. j For the first time we met ] her sister Lillian Mortara, t

who spends every summer with Viki. Lillian is an interesting gal whom we look forward to seeing lots more. While we were chatting we discovered she winters in Merrick. L.I., ■J where my children wanted to move because of its proy ximity to Jones Beach, t Only one disappointment about the great evening — one host, Paul Scarlett, had e to miss it and we all missed f him. To compensate he a called Dotty while the par-, e -fywas at its zenith and sent j everybody his love. t WE RECENTLY met 5 Anita and Ralph DeAngelo 1 of Reading, Pa. wK5 are a planning to have a yeara round residence in Stone i Harbor. They have two daughters ; Sharon, who ) graduated from college a few years ago, and Michelle, who just > graduated from high school • and plans to study • radiology in college. They own a restaurant in FleetI wood (where Cadillac bodies are produced) on i Rte. 222. i It's called the Kirbyville Country Inn and Ralph says it keeps them so busy they have to get away for an extended vacation every so often. They love Stone Harbor and have been look ing at a condominium called Atrium House on 96th Street, which should be open by July 8. They'll make good neighbors and are anxious to learn the best fishing spots from the local Isaac Waltons. Middle Township High School Principal John McVey stopped in ju^ to say "Hello" the other day and was all excited telling us about one of his students whom we know. Jerry A.V, McCargo came with his father last year to regrade our back property and add to the white stones we have in lieu of lawn. He is a mucho macho young man He is six-foot, four-inch football player wh'o weighs 240 pounds. A natural for an athletic scholarship right? Wrong! He got a scholarship all right, but an academic four - year scholarship to the University of Rhode Island valued l at $50,000! Seems he suf\fers from the smarts too J Way to go. Jerry" .DELIGHTED to be able\ f to report tjtat the owner of \ Stone Harbor's Pharmacy and one of the Li6ns Club's staunchest supporters. Bill Dajugherty is home from a i s i\g e of tests at Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital and is i now on the mend. Florence At wood is fine again but says she still tire£ easily. I We know Floss well and < she'll be her tireless self < again soon. Father Wesley Martin of \ St. Mary's Episcopal I Church had a happy chore 1 last Sunday, the awarding I of merits for perfect atten- ( dance at Sunday School. He f also presented orchid corsages to four of the t children's teachers. They f are. Ruth Fisher. Lydia z Battendieri. Holly Atunes s and he had one for Mary [ C'onwell, but she wasn't z there to collect hers. c She and her husband c were celebrating t their 50th Wedding Anniversary at a party with 1 their family. Afters that e they were leaving\for v for a second honey- r After the service 22 g parishion^F£--were a taken to Story^^k Land in a

Cardiff. Needless to say i they all loved it and the most frequently asked / question was "Where are we going next year?" The benches and trash receptacles are now in place on 96th Street and even bitter opponents of the project are admitting jt looks very handsome. Some added good news, today they are replacing the parking meters and the price has not been raised as it has in Cape May and other areas. MET ANOTHER nice couple this week for the first time although they have been summering here for 15 years, Monroe and Betsy Krichman, who stay at 168 84th Street. Betsy plays tennis each moriiing with a group of friends at 80th Street. They have three sons. Andy. Harlan, and Elliot, 18, 46. and 11 in the same order. Monroe and his sons are all fishing, boating and water skiing enthusiasts and their month here flies. Their winter home is in Milburn. EVA VOSSEN of 87th Street, very kindly called us this week to tell us that our mutual friend. |£Jiz5 \ Harbage. had been admitted to Burdette/Tomlin Hospital. Itw^i an extremely ^thoughtful act becaus/we frequently stop to see i£l»a when we are airin^rttF-pooch and would baVe been quite alarmed if we had found her away ^ unexpectedly. / We went over to see Eliza today, found her looking fine and annoyed because her rare cactus is in bloom and she isn't there to enjoy it>. We was surprised to learn, that another of our "Tigj^hbors is in Burdette tooNEsther Stobbard is in the hospital for tests. Happily. they'H both be home by the time you read this. A * * j-— THINGS ARE getting tensWtfhez Rowland again witfv remarks like "I told vo61 that three days ago" and^I'm sorry but I didn't bearcat y'ou said" being exchangeitoonstantly. This time there^vas no coaxing/ otrmy-pafL \ 'My spouse^ saLd' in desperation one\jay. "I V think I better go over and see Mr. Saad. My hearing is getting worse again." We Strove over to the Cape May Cobnty Hearing Aid Divisionlof Saad Inc. at 1125 Mail St. in CMCH and I didrf't bother going in since I figured something was mechanically wrong with the aids Jerry had been wearing. , After a half hour of sitting in a hot car the thought of an air conditioned office seemed very appealing and 1 wandered in. Mr. Saad greeted me sympathetcially by saying. "Mrs. I'm sure I don't to tell you your hushas suffered a 30 percent loss of hearing the last few months." - I agreed, but secretly thought it was more like 99 percent "Fortunately." he i added, "we now have \ something that can com- \> pensate for it." He had already made impressions of both my loved one's jug and two weeks later the new devices arrived. No wires, no awkward looking device behind the ear Now they are entirely within the ear canal and consort can hear the grow. Peace, reigns at the Rowland manse again.
