By Libby Demp Forrest FLAG DAY AND FATHER S DAY are ■ the biggies on this weeks calendar. Flag H Day is public; Father's Day is private. On June 14, 1777 the Continental Con- ■ gress adopted a design for a flag, which is I the basis of all later American flags : thir- ■ teen stars and stripes, one for each of the I original states. The last time a star was added to our I flag was on July 4, 1960, the fiftieth star I for Hawaii. * • • Father's Day is the day to do something I special for dear old dad. If your far away I from him on Father's Day, bet he'd apI predate a nice card or a telephone call. • • * Lowell wrote of June days as rare days, I perfect days. For him, these perfect days I were made up of blue sky, bright sunI shine, warm air, and green leaves. .That I discription is still as good as ever . Nature I hasn't improved on what is one of the best H months of the year. ■ Yes, we are "knee deep in June" this week. Summer is nigh and getting better ■I each day. • • * M There is a fresh green cloak on the [I landscape — a green still vivid with spr- ■ ing's growth. Ahhhh, take a breather for I a moment or two and enjoy this good I month. v ■ • • • Here are some distinguished local I restaurants where dining remains H unsurpassed: r ■ PETER SHIELDS. Cape May's Beach H Drive is the setting for the Peter Shields

Restaurant, housed in a fabulous mansion from yesteryear. Located at 1301 Beach Drive, (at Trenton Avenue), it encompasses all the elegance of the past. A well trained staff prepares and serves meals in the manner of Victorian days. The Sunday Buffet Brunch is served 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and includes an array of fine foods. Lunch is served daily from 11:30 to 3 p.m., dinners from 4:30 to midnight. The piano bar fits right in with the long ago atmosphere. • • * HUNAN CHINESE. Now Rio Grande has it's own Chinese restaurant, Hunan, located in the Village Shoppes of Rio Grande on Rt. 47. It'll be open seven days a week all year round which is good, good news for Chinese food lovers (which we happen to be. > Take out is available and includes a selection of delicious choices. We enjoyed a Hunan dinner the other night and chose Steamed Meat Dumplings for our appetizer, and Szechwan Hot and Spicy Orange Flavor Chicken, tender chicken sauteed with mushrooms, green pepper, carrots and celery in a special hot sauce with orange flavor. You, too, will find the Hunan a welcome addition to j the area. * * * CAFE GALERIE. Now Stone Harbor has a place to buy fine desserts and fine coffee, The Cafe Galerie at 299 97th Street. It's a neat place to go for a special meal in a unique atmosphere. There's outdoor seating day or night. Everything is offered with real proud by cafe keepers Stephen Sands and Eden Rubenstein. Espresso, cappucino and

fine pastries are freshly made daily. We , ■ dropped by the other evening and enjoyed H a wedge of chocolate swirl cheesecake and a cup of espresso, a rich, heavy coffee that suited us very well that evening.

Brother's Restaurant and Pizzeria offers casual dining year round 6 a.m. to 12 midnight at the Breakwater Plaza in North Cape May. H This is the place to go to enjoy lipsmacking home style Italian cuisine such H as gnocchi, ravioli and lasagna. We especially like the Eggplant Parmigiana, homemade with the freshest ingredients. Sicilian Pizza is a specialty here — we suggest you order one some evening when ypu'd like something a little different and very good. Call 884-2524 to place orders. * * • BELLEVUE TAVERN. Cape May Court House's most popular dining spot is the Bellevue Tavern, located at 7 S.
