Seven Mile Beach News Notes

(From Page 22) Robert Scott of the 1st United Methodist Church; tenor Joel Modern, who summoned tears with his rendition of* Ave Maria; and president of the organization John Walter with two trumpet solos, Joy to the World and Silent Night. All guests received gifts — each gal was given an ornament for her Xmas tree, a red needlepoint Jcnitting bag containing green wool and two toothpicks for needles. The gents got striped candy canes for their handkerchief pockets. The needlepoint baskets were all made by the Senior women, who deserve lots of credit for originality and effort. • • • Dec. 11, afte^ voting on transference; of school funds to purchase contiguous property in the borough (the\Ayes" won 149 opposed to\3 persons against the trailer), we dashed to a nifty cocktail party given by Marguerite and Bill Klotzbucher. Marguerite had decorated their home to look like Santa's embarkation strip and supplied her groaning board with many-flavored sugar plums. One of the neatest things about Klotzbucher parties is that one meets such a delightful mix of old friends and new faces. This one was no exception. SAME NIGHT was the Chamber of Commercd Christmas dinner at the

Whitebrier, As we entered we heard a pianist of the first magnitude. We listened until she had finished the number she was playing and asked "Play It Again Sam?" She smiled and rendered "As Time Goes By" better than we've ever heard it played before. Her name is Melba Pope and we learned she plays regularly at TridiJo's. It may have been the first time we heard her but it sure won't be the last! The place was packed, Joe Brophy was running around like a madman seeking perfection and we were happy to find our favorite waitress, Doreen Karis, was assigned to our table. Each guest had been asked to bring a check or cash donation for the Helen L. Diller Vacation Home for the Blind in lieu of a wrapped gift this year. It costs $250 a week for a child's vacation and the C. of C. gave $250 to start the ball rolling. When all receipts were counted the total amounted to $1,200. That kind of Christmas spirit will make it a joyous year for several children. We think it only fair to mention that when executive secretary "Moose" McCormick and his wife "Mumsey" won $20 in the $50-50 they quietly donated it to the Diller Home fund. WENT TO the Gate House Flower and Gift Shop to use a gift cer- ' tificate and ordered a Christmas wreath for our

door. New owner Pat Wolf wasn't there but Peter Bryden greeted us as usual. We saw a menu for a new catering business Bonelle Douglass Bryden and Patricia Molnar Bango have started in Court House named the Victorian Catering Co. We were so busy looking at the list of delectables they offer and services they provide we neglected to notice the most inciting news contained therein. For four years Bonnie Douglass (famous name in candy in N.J.) and Peter Bryden have owned the shop on the Wharf. When we asked Peter about Bon-

t . . Y nie his face brightened. "Did you notice her last name?" Only then did we realize the two had married. Petet not only knew they'd been married four months, he , knew the number of days — J that bodes well for the hap- L py marriage they deserve. £ If you're planning a party | and want a consultant or £ some yummy food call Mrs. Peter Bryden at 465-5155. Hilda (Mrs. Philip) Mixsell, a much loved gal in this town who runs the Tasty Kake Homerun Derby each year, adopted two kittens from an animal ( Page 24 Please )
