The facility is slated to re main open all year and will provide an excellent oppor tunitv for many locals to obtain employment. Lambert is also hitting the streets in an efforr to enlist the aid of several othbr large Crest motels which will remain open all year as well. THE ANNUAL Greater Wildwood Little League luncheon has been scheduled for Sunday at the Grand Hotel in Wildwood Crest This year the luncheon has

been expanded to include any and all T-Ball participants who are eight years old and will advance to Little League next season. That's a nice gesture! The menu, this year, is designed for the kids and will feature hamburgers, French fries, and a beverage. Tickets may be obtained by calling Joyce Emory at 729-2257. Eight-year-old T-Ball players and past Little Leaguers will have their meals paid for by the Greater Wildwood Little League organization. THE WORK ON the regional MUA plant seems to be progressing at a rapid pace The retaining walls have all been sunk and the fill is being brought into the plant by the truckload An incredible amount of fill is required and I can only envision a huge hole somewhere! As stated in previous columns. the cast, once the plant is operational, will be tremendous but the alternative is even more costly. It is estimated that each motel until will be paying somewhere around $300 as an annual fee for the sewage. A 10-unit motel would then be paying $3,000 per annum for treatment. Crest Mayor Frank McCall in the past had estimated that two to three million dollars will be extracted from the lodging industry as a result of the higher fees. Again, the cost when compared to the damage that a mid-season beach closing would cause is inconsequential. I suppose that in a way the problems we had this summer softened the blow of the higher costs and rendered them acceptable to the industry

SPEAKING OF lodging industry costs, the Pallone bill to surcharge guests 1 percent with the proceeds going to fund a beach preservation/restoration kitty seems to be progressing in the legislature The various state motel associations oppose this legislation and a battle seems to be looming It is interesting, as the same type of legislation was proposed in Virginia in 1973 It was passed and then thrown out by the State Supreme court In reading one of my 1973 New Jersey Hotel/Motel Association newsletters. I came upon the article and read it with interest The law was thrown out in Virginia simply because it singled out one industry as the vehicle to gather the tax and did not address any other industry's ability to do the same type of collection. This has been the complaint across our island for years It just seems too easy to surcharge the motel units and forget about all other segments of the tourist economy. I am sure that somebody else, more influential to be sure, is aware of the Virginia situation and if so. a battle is sure to follow We'll keep you posted on the progress of this impacting legislation.

Encephalitis Killed Horse in Clermont

CLERMONT - Tests done on the remains of a horse that died here on Oct. 8 showed the animal to be a victim of Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Judy Hansen. superintendent of the Cape May County Mosquito Commission, reported. The disease, which is contracted through the bite of two species of mosquitos. can be fatal or cause brain damage to both humans and horses. Hansen said. "If you go into an area with mosquitos you should wear repellent," said Hansen. "AT THIS POINT in time, I'm not overly concerned," said county health officer Louis J. Lamanna. "A lot of this can be prevented if horses are vaccinated." Questioned about the lack of publicity about the outbreak of the disease, Lamanna said. "The state Department of Health never called us. We had to work in reverse to verify it." Hansen said the commission has done extra spraying to eliminate the adult mosquitos which carry the virus. "Outbreaks of the disease generally occur in July or August when the weather has been unseasonably warm," said Hansen. While there is no reason for alarm. Hansen said the threat of the disease will continue until frost conditions kill the mosquitos. Two children who con-

tracted the disease last year in Ocean City and Cumberland County suffered brain damage. Hansen said. Symptoms of the disease are similar to those of the flu with victims experiencing high fever, chills, nausea, and "very severe headaches," she said.
