VILLAS - Wiuth the thermometer at zero, a power outage left 9,142 Atlantic Electric customers without electricity in Villas, Rio Grande, Cold Spring, Whitesboro and North Cape May Sunday night at 9:40.

"I guess most of the other people had kerosene heaters or something," said a police department spokesman Atlantic Electric said it told heatless customers who called to contact their local police departments if they needed to be evacuated. Middle Township obtained buses from the County Transportation Department to evacuate people from Rio Grande and Whitesboro, but power to those areas was restored as soon as the first busload reached Court House Sunday night, said a township spokesman. Meanwhile, electric company work crews tried throughout the night to repair the source of the trouble, an overhead power line at the Villas substation. The company said it is one ^ three major lines

supplying service to the \ area. By 3 p.m. Monday, \ the remaining 138 1 customers were still without electricity, the spokesman said. Other customers were being asked to cut back on their use of high energy appliances until full service was back to normal. The cold weather presented no problem for the 22,000 customers of the South Jersey Gas Co., according to its Cape May Division manager, William Kiser, who said it had "no pressure problems." The power outages were blamed for cable television interruptions to 18,000 of Group W Cable's 24,000 customers, according to Peter Berkowitz, general manager. But it all happened about five minutes after completion of the Super Bowl, to Berkowitz's relief

That's the message in the/ current edition of "The Achiever", the publication of the group. In her message.

citizens, youth, government surplus and many more". But. warns the bulletin. "If Congress goes along with the Reagan Administration's draft 1986 - budget plan, the Communie ty Services Bloqjc Grant (CBSG)-Cape Human Resources Inc. fund- and the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) would be killed, weatherization phased out, and other anti-poverty prograins frozen at current 1985 spending levels. "Zeroing out CSBG would mean a saving of at least $372 million, the current CSBC budget, and eliminating LSC would save another $303 million toward the administration's goal " ^
