WE CHECKED with Borough Clerk Dot Krennan of Avalon to learn present status of former Councilman Jim Kusha's effort to recall Mayor Rachel Sloan from office No petition had been filed as of Oct. 1 We called Bus ha and he told us. "We already have more than the required number of signatures on the petition but we want to add more " We asked him about the petition ACAR lAvalon Citizens Against Recall) is circulating and he said. "There is only one petition. There can only be one They are only trying to prevent our getting more " When such a document is filed with the Ixirough clerk she has III days to verify names of signers of the required numlxT and then set a date for a reelection for mayor within fit) but no later than 'jo days from the dale of filing Tension is high in the iMirough workers lor Inith factions are working grimhly. but the attitude of most people we've spoken with is "We don't under stand it : we'll just wait and see." Both Jim Busha and Mayor Sloan have been our friends, we are glad we no longer live in the town, don't have to weigh the issue and can't vote .MARY COFFEE, Floss Atwonri and Frank Adkins treated friends to an elegant cocktail gathering at the Whitebrier Inn Oct 3.

BETSY PFEIFFER. who with husband Ben coordinated the whole wonderful schmear of Wings "n Water festival of Wetlands Inst i tute. called to thank us for reporting it in this column and suggested we might like to add a few people we didn't mention. She was a fountain of information. The top flight professional auctioneer we mentioned was Barry Slosberg from Hatboro He comes down at his own expense and works w ithout fee when they need him. A small bunch of housewives called the Gourmet Group with Kurt and Dona Re Schmid made 5.0tKI hors

d'oeuvres for the cocktail party; Donnelly's of Avalon contributed hoagies for the Coast Guard Band lunch eon. Joanne Willis and Cecilia Napoleon decorated the entrance tent; Carole Diller and Co Wallace were in charge of patrons and benefactors; almost all exhibitors donated works for the auction . and the bottom line is that it made $10,060 for the Institute! JANE AND CAREY Boss. Ruth and Gene Fisher. Eleanor and Jim Kane and Malt and Andrew Woolery timed their Sept 28th party perfectly Arlene and Duenlin Sternbergh had suffered most damage.

They reported generosity and hospitality unlimited. A fHiunteous buffet supper followed happy hour, gave way to vix'al and instrumental solos, then dancing under a moon big as a hula hoop.

Civic Club was memorable for three reasons: great grub, great noise and great news. All members who fancy themselves rivals to Escoffier's fame proved the validity of their claims. Lunch was humongous and delicious. Cacophony from levelling the old Tides Motel startled Seniors from their seats several times. The sight of it made some nostalgic Jane Boss wasn't the only one with memories of the former landmark; everyody resented its replacement with more condos. Official hostesses for the event were; Matt Woolery. Marie Spence, Grace Sheeran, Rose Springer. Delores Celona and Marie Helbig. Excitement was sparked by an announcement that at the Nov. 6th business meeting at the school, the first Stone Harbor Senior of the Year Award will be named. Also on the program will be the Wheeler-Dealers. a square-dancing group from N. Wildwood Senior Citizens. -■ — / LINDA AND HARRY A.

('apt Don Cramer, owner of the charter vessel sporting his name, and fundraiser extraordinaire for S.H. Lions Club, reported on the outcome of annual raffle benefitting the Diller Vacation Home for the Blind Chairmen of the event were Warren and Russell Buckingham. who own the Windrift Motel at 80th Street, where it took place. Helping Jim Shevlin and Cramer. They were casting about for an attraction to sell tickets when someone said "Superbowl." EUREKA! The Lions immediately called the NFL office and when Jim HefferNFL public relations director, and James S. Steeg. in charge of special events for the league, learned how the raffle helps blind kids, they instantly said. "We'll try for 4 tickets for you." and they got em! When word got out that items to be raffled were two pairs of tickets for the famous game, four days in New Orleans with accommodations and trans-

portation included (over $1,000 value), $200 raffle tickets sold faster than Philadelphia pretzels. Scotty McPherson won the car. Chances to be there for the big game, went to Joe Reach and Robert Hammer. Bottom line is: More than $15,000 was raised to give unsighted children an unforgettable vacation. Let's hear it for the NFL! AVALON POINTE Ma rina Inc., 701 Old Avalon Blvd.. has changed hands again. Many remember when Bill Darling sold it to Malcolm and Paul Sykes not too long ago. We met new owner Francis A. (Chick) Cerchiaro last week. He previously owned PTC Corp.. a tri-state telephone systems company with offices in Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, among others and gross annual sales amounting to $30 million. That's big biz — it will be interesting to watch his plans for the marina develop. At the moment they include replacing the bulkhead, restoring and refurbishing buildings with change of decor and landscaping the grounds. Smacks of a future Beautification Award. right?
