Slews Notes from y h. Seven Mile Beach J » M'Ellen Rowland 368-2294 i >

Last Thanksgiving Day I proved to be one of our happiest ever! Gertrude Reiss, chairperson for Services to Military Families for the American Red Cross, called us and asked if we would be willing to act as a sur1 rogate family to personnel serving at the U.S. Coast Guard Station at Cape May for either Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. We're generally away at Christmas and volunteered for the latter. We were instructed to pick up our guests- at 12:30 at the Chapel, and were lucky enough to get four gqys we'd have been proud to claim as sons. We were at ease with each other within five minutes and enjoyed a marvelous and instructive day. THEY WERE a diversified group, unified in only one respect — their devotion to the service in which they serve their country ._ Their religious persuasions were varied, yet we all joined hands in giving thanks for our particular blessings. This was really one of our most joyous holidays — we, unfortunately, cannot repeat the experience this year but look forward to doing it in the future. Meanwhile we urge those of you who are not going to be inundated by family responsibilities to take advantage of this super way to share your home and holidays with the best of our younger generation. Just phone Gertrude Reiss at 884-1587 — she'll be delighted with your offer of hospitality and we guarantee you'll be the winners! THE LCW, Lutheran Church Women of Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Stone Harbor, had a whopping success with their Election Day Dinner held at the 7-mile Beach Post of the American Legion. All three scheduled seatings of the dinner were completely sold out! Proceeds from the event will go toward building the new Parish Hair, presently under construction, and expected to be completed in the spring of 1985. Legion Hall was decorated in ' a patriotic theme with added banners "It's Girl" in honor of Pastor Glenn Schoenberger and his wife Kathy's little daughter, Rauren Elizabeth, born Nov. 5, 1984. She weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. at birth and she'll be the first newly-born baby ever to reside in the parsonage, according to parishioner Myrtle Rowles. • •

1 Seventy-two S.H. Seniors I showed up for a happy day r and luncheon at the - Deauville Inn in Strathmere at noon t Wednesday, Nov. 7. Prexy I Carey Boss read out a list of 20 new members who received a welcoming i round of applause from members of longer standing. Both Carey and Jane i Boss are much happier these days — their new liti tie grandchild was hospitalized for a few days but she's Ifome again and doing beautifully. THIS YEAR your reporter and her spouse decided to cast a write-in ballot for the first time. No big deal, what? Forget it! We contacted every knowledgeable politico we knew, studied our sample ballots ad infinitum, dispensed misinformation to others freely and discovered it was mandatory to ask for information from the judge of elections before closing the curtain. Fortunately the judges for booths of Districts 1 and 2 were extremely helpful. They were: Mel Atwood and John Hunter. Despite their assistance we could tell that at least one voter lost his vote by trying to write in a vote on the metal covering rather than push it aside as we were instructed to do. Eric J. Arenberg got 46 write-in votes largest in the borough's history we were told. We hope this is taken into account by decision makers when someone is appointed to fulfill the unexpired term of Councilman Jack Fitzpatrick. An awful shocker to us was the Response of voters in this supposedly affluent community to the request by our terrific police force to provide benefits for their possible widows and their children. In Sea Isle City, Lower Township and Avalon this passed by a wide majority — in Stone Harbor it squeaked through, 402-366. Most surprising to us was the fact that so many absentee voters, who count on police to protect their vacant homes in winter, voted heavily against the petition. Ernie Yarborough and Joey Kauterman of the Avalon School reported on a Frisbee contest held bv l! ' 3S5 'ULVlL-LLLu. .1101 '

; Frisbee expert Mr. Smith who has appeared on five ! major T.V. shows, biggest i of which was Real People. i A resident of Los: Angeles, he has appeared in every state but five and his ' specialty is freestyle. He picked 10 students to help him with tLe contest and winners were: young Kauterman ai d Jeanine Polizzi. Second placers were Matt Haryslak and Jay Koch. Final round was * teachers against students and the students won by 65 points. Eighth graders Rocky Jost and Brendan Borek report that they have been studying and dissecting vertabrates. Audio- visual is another favorite subject and they have already produced four commercials. According to Jason Campbell and Sam Scott in 5th grade the most exciting thing about their year thus far is that they now have an Apple Computer and are learning their math on it. WHILE WE were totally immobilized by our broken shoulder we discovered a wonderful service which is available to any county resident with the individual's doctor's consent. It's the Holy Redeemer Visiting Nurse Agency on Brooks Ave. in Swainton. We called them and their supervisor, Hope Neuer of North Wildwood, visited me the next day. She took my medical history and left written instructions for the aides who would visit me the following day. They phoned me first and arrived 15 minutes later. . The aides are obviously f chosen by reason of their I personalities, desire to help ' others and learning capabilities. The two assigned to me were Carolyn E. Chaney of 'Woodbine and Robin Wiik of North Wildwood. BOTH WERE cheerful, charming and even made my first shampoo in a kitchen sink a happy, rather than painful, experience. The hospice is nondenominational as to its patients and fees are charged on one's ability to pay. It's a vastly needed service, a morale booster and a godsend to people who live alone. Weavers' Exhibit Set

CAPE MAY - The Bar- I rier Island Weavers, A H Guild, will present their I first major exhibition, en- H titled "Eleanor and I Friends" featuring 13 I juried weavers, at the Cape I May County Art League on H Washington Street. - Refreshments will be served at the opening reception 8-10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8. During the reception, a fashion show of handwoven wearables will be staged by the Jersey I , Cape Dance Crater. 4 The exhibit will continue c< through December 31. Art League hours are Mon I day through Saturday 10 ™ a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday v 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Incidentally, the Holy Redeemer Hospice will be giving a benefit cocktail party at the old "76 House," which they purchased not too long ago, on Nov. 18 from 3 until 7 p.m. We really feel this organization deserves our full support. They've already made great strides and it promises to be a whale of a bash for a nominal charge.
