"Research shows that over half of the alcoholics in treatment can identify that a parent was or is an alcoholic," he said, "as a group, alcohol abusers are two to three times more likely to manifest symptoms of alcoholism such as blackouts and early morning drinking, especially if they have alcoholic relatives." MAYER ALSO added that "a majority of people suffering from alcoholism live in homes with families which also suffer from the effects of the disease. A 1978 Gallup Poll indicates that one out of every four people, or some 40 million people, are affected by someone in the family who is an alcoholic."

News Notes from Seven Mile Beach M'Ellen Rowland 368-2294

From a quiet little seashore resort Stone Harbor is expanding its horizons and will, we fear, soon take on the aspect of a big business area When we noticed that the sign on 96th Street proclaiming that Winston's restaurant would soon be filling the site where Hahn's used to be has disappeared, we hastened to ask realtors. DiMarco and Hendee what plans really are for that spot. Jim DiMarco told us pleasantly that while a lease for the restaurant has been executed he preferred not to reveal names of occupants at this time. He has about 20 persons interested in leasing space, including the restauranteur who has already signed. So have a candy store and pizza emporium. Completion date is targeted for six weeks hence. Workmen are busy seven days weekly to wrap up the job. Have been unable to reach Robert Maerz — so far he hasn't been around to answer our calls and we don't find talking to an answering service rewarding, let alone stimulating. Our neighbor. John Hail, has been granted a permit to construct a single family dwelling on the south side of 96th Street as one approaches the bridge headed west. Now he seeks a use variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment for the property he owns, known as Pier 96. Decision by the zon ing board was postponed un til the meeting May 10 at Borough Hall at the peti tioner's request. The meeting is called for 8pm STOPPED IN at the Gate House Flower and Gift Shop to order an Easter plant and asked owner Pat Wolf about the most recent course she attended at the Hixson School of Floral Design in Lakewood. Ohio. Pat is the gal who urndertook the enormous job of producing the S.H. Chamber of Commerce's annual booklet. She does everything with enthusiasm and expertise. She described the course in Ohio and it sounded pretty darned rigorous She got 225 hours of classwork instruction plus field trips to Cleveland's Museum of Art and the Western Reserve Historical Museum. She studied three weeks, six days weekly and 14-hour days at that. Students were given fresh flowers each Monday and created 14 arrangements for critique every day. using the same flowers for every arrangement. Pat was awarded her certificate of Professional Floral Design and now qualifies to take a Master's Degree. We also learned that only 10 percent of all florists have any formal training, so she's well ahead of the game. ASSEMBLYMAN Guy Muziani, R.-Cape May, was principal speaker at S.H. Chamber of Commerce's March dinner meeting at Henny's. An audience of 112 members and guests heard his rapid-fire delivery up dating us on "Legislation in the hopper, legislation which has passed and legislation to be considered." He had good news for senior citizens. Gov. Kean

signed into law on Feb. 27, a bill eliminating inheritance tax if the spouse is recipient of the estate. Over a four-year period phasing out of the inheritance tax will occur when bequests are between family members. The impact will save N.J. taxpayers an estimated $68 million between January of this year and next summer It will also negate the need to move to Florida to save money for our beneficiaries. "WHEN GOV. Kean came into office he faced a $l50-million deficit," Muziani said. "He changed this. New Jersey is now on the move and has a 6-7 million surplus. Last year you voted for a $3.3 billion infrastructure act which required dedication of the gas tax. Two-thirds will be paid by the federal government and the money will he spent over the next four years improving highways and rebuilding bridges. Routes 9, 50, 47, are being repaired and $62 million will be spent on Wildwood Boulevard ." This year $450 million will be earmarked for improving the environment and addressing the problem of waste materials These will nat be direct grants: Half the money will be advanced as low-interest loans to counties and municipalities to set up a revolving fund so money will be available again CHAMBER Chairman of Civic Responsibility. Jack Fitzpatrick. didn't shake members up too much when he slated. "The story on the 96th Street bridge has changed while it may open April 20. all the work will not be completed It brings to mind an old adage seeing is believing ." he said, accompanied by groans from his audience To give him his due, Jack has been warning us for some time that this might happen - it's just tough to face the reality. Frances (bridge whiz) Thatcher of Avalon called to tell us about the afternoon following the regular meeting of borough council at which Marjorie (Mrs Benjamin ) Jones was presented with a certificate of recognition by Mayor Rachael Sloan for her years of dedicated service to her community. IT WAS NOTED that one year and one day before, in her capacity as Red Cross Emergency Management coordinator, she was seen wading across Ocean Qrive, in water to her hips, to establish a shelter in the First Methodist Church of Avalon from the March 29th storm. Marjorie Jones is a talented and persuasive executive. After the meeting the Avalon Civic Club, from which she was retiring president, held a reception in her honor. More than 50 guests arrived to attest to their esteem and admiration of the honored guest. THE CLUB presented Mrs. Jones with a silver pendant engraved with her initials and the dates of years she served as its president and a corsage. The presentation took place in the Avalon roam of Borough Hall. The Avalon Garden Gub, of which she was a founder and served as its president

many years, also gave a farewell reception in her honor and Dot and Jim German gave a surprise dinner party which they arranged with many of her friends — it really was a surprise too. Together they collected a basket of gifts as mementoes of the many friends she has in this area She will be moving to Maine to he near her children at the end of this week. EILEEN CONNOR. Secretary of the Women's Auxiliary of American Legion Post 331, organized the bus bash to casino land March 21st. Peg Grimes of 95th Street came over to tell us about it, since we were unable to make the trip. Post Commander Jim Daniel and his wife Gail bought the first bus tickets but Jim couldn't make it since he was stricken with the bug. The bus was filled to capacity, however. Marie Spence, Alice Daniels, Hilda Mixsell. Anne Allen. Helen and John Payne of SIC were aboard for the tbur. Bob Michaels and Ermma and Bob Haefele treated fellow passengers to wine on the trip up and Mary Williams supplied hors d'oeuvres. "Evening at La Cage" was pronounced marvelous by all touristas Marie Spence and Anne Allen, both of Stone Harbor, teamed up to give our favorite kind of party at Marie's home Just enough great people that we had a chat with each one before we left. Really elegant grub and everybody mixed his or her own favorite libation. Norman McMahon. the town's superguest. filled every empty by request. It took place on one of our breeeezy days — so breezy it almost blew the door off our Sherman tank and the thermometer registered 30 degrees. We could easily spot the Florida returnees by their tans and all of them felt they had jumped the gun on leaving the Sunshine State. Many of us had received a nice newsy letter from Jane and Carey Boss (he's pres. of the S.H. Seniors) telling us they were playing tennis, bridge, going to polo matches and attending similar drab activities daily. If she were trying to hit a nerve she couldn't have done a better job on this reporter.
