■ By LIBBY DEMP FORREST I MID-AUGUST. Summer is packing its I suitcase and getting ready to travel. * ■ August and September remain the best J . H beach months; water temperatures are _J I always at their warmest during these H final weeks of summer. ! * * * ! The southward bird migration is beginI ning this week. Along the Atlantic coast I the egrets are returning from their / ■ nesting grounds in the north, and so are ( I the sanderlings. Black skimmers and H common terns are now on their way, too. M Two more of these shore migrants now I starting are the greater and lesser ■ yellow-legs. These birds fly 9,000 miles in ■ migration — from Argentina to northern I Alberta and back each year. ♦ ♦ ♦ ' The insect chorus continues, however, ■ both day and night. These singing insects I are mature, and eat little now. They are ■ attending to the all-important business of I egg laying, and when that is done they I will die. Beware of mosquitoes and I various other members of the fly family. I Also the common house fly. 1^1 * * * , ■ Speaking of other unpleasant matters, -)U at this time of year the ragweed starts to tfl shed its pollen. On the other hand, its a K glorious time of year to observe the » heavens and to watch for meteors. Duri I ing this week we are likely to see more ■ meteors than usual, because the earth is I at that point in its annual path around the I sun where it conies nearest to a great : I flock of little masses of stone or metal I traveling through space. f. * * * While we're on the subject of traveling, I we'd like to tell you about some of the ■ local restaurants we always enjoy travelI ing to: McGLADES' MANSION HOUSE. One ! I of these August evenings wander over to H McGlades' Mansion House for a real I H South Jersey shore dinner eateh on the/ IH cool screened porch. / Located at 110 North Broadway, in I West Cape May, where Cape May and I West Cape May meet, this old time I seafood restaurant offers enjoyable hot | and cold appetizers (such as steamed P broth or marinated mussels)! lanhattan style clam chowder, s that are hearty with special . We always enjoy the crabuth Jersey recipe that can't be Poultry, meat and pasta A must for those looking for a Jersey spot. * * *

f We have never tasted better southern I cooking, even in the deep south. Family I style meals are served in the old fashion- I ed dining room, including such favorites I as Southern fried chicken, grits, country I ham, roast beef, lamb, fresh Jersey pro- I duce, homemade soups, rolls, and pies. I The menus are prepared by the same I famous cooks who nave been with the I hotel for several generations. Breakfast I includes spoonbread, biscuits, fresh fish I and fresh orange juice, bacon and eggs. I On Sunday mornings kidney stew is also I served — an old time favorite. * * ♦ MARABELLA'S. Italian food is never I better . — never will be better than the I freshly prepared Italian food served at I Marabella's Restaurant, at 95th and 3rd I Avenue, Stone Harbor where we love to I go for spaghetti and clams, homemade I by the Marabella family. Marabella's is open daily from 4:30 I p.m. and the take out menu includes I many of the favorites you can enjoy at the I restaurant. You can take home a com- I plete Italian or seafood dinner, including I veal parmigiana, ravioli and me>^6^11s, I the great seafood combination, br-fned I oysters. Stop by for a look at the take-out I menu, or telephone an order for pickup — I 368-5037. * * * PRINCETON GRILL. The Princeton I Grill at 21st and the Circle, Av^lon keeps the flavor of a shore tavern with super sandwiches and draft beer, Monday night buffet, entertainment and snacks seven days and seven nights You wouldn't want to pass by the chance to sit down for awhile and relax with friends, having a laugh or two, or telling a good fish story here. Guitarist Rob Lowrv entertains Friday. Saturday v and Sunday nights. D.J. Bob Bulge n Oldies" is there Wed. thru Sun. Ladies •> night is Wednesday. Enjoy the jam session with "Bulge" 6 p.m. Sat. and Sunday. ♦ * * j UNCLE BJU/S. Uncle Bill's Pancake House and F^muyjestaurants has 4 locations — in Cape May, Avalon, Stone Harbor and Smathmere where the best pancakes in Cape May county are served throughout the summer season. We like to get an early start at one of the Uncle Bill's which opens early, enjoy a big plate of delicious pancakes and a couple of cups of coffee, then head over to the beach to watch the gulls. We aren't the only ones who seem to get the same idea, and who are super-enthused about Uncle Bill's pancakes.
