DOTTY STFMP'S Oct 21st cocktail party at her home on 95th Street was a happy melange of friends from the many organizations for which she works constantly One of her pet projects has been the heating of the Women's Civic Club and many of its

members were celebrating its coming to fruitation. Crisp air necessitated turning on heat for the first time this year which summoned unwanted guests from their nests in the insulation. We laughed when we joined the group in the sitting room and Councilman Harry Strohmrtz said: "Welcome to the bee room " He wasn't joking, though; yellow jackets at traded by Ixtttled scent gals were wearing, zeroed in on ladies who ducked as macho men swatted Creates! numliers ol kills were made by Scott Daniels, t)uriitin Sternhergh. Tony Crlona and Norman McMahon. One color predominates in Dot's decor, so natch, the unloved varmints were dubbed Purple People Eaters, what else? WK GOT A letter last week from Hugh MeCullough. P.K.. of 125 100th St.. S.H.. and Fort Washington. Pa. He informed us that Barry Slosberg. auctioneer at Wetland's Wings 'n Water Festival, was not the onlycontributor to the extravaganza from Mon tgomery County. Pa. He wrote: "Otto C. Prin. atop professional photographer Iroiii Fort Washington former chief photographer for the Philadelphia In qmrer and nationallyrecognized authority in 25 mm black and white, agreed to judge a photographic contest at no expense and with no fee " There wasn't time lo set up a contest and he agreed to set up an exhibit to stimulate interest in a competition for next year's festival Thirty six people signed up indicating interest for next year - we can hear shutters clicking already The Carpenter family. Walter and Cloria. daughter l.inda. and son Johnny with his wife l.ucia. have put on a marvelous sea son- extender for customers who come to Deauville Inn in Strathmere from as" far south as Cape May and Atlantic City to the north We went up for their fried shrimp Tuesday night and got a nifty surprise We had two dinners but were billed for only one That's their present policy on Mondays and | Tuesdays two dinners for the price of one from an extensive menu We think this j will' fx* a big draw and will phone for reservations in the future Typical of this closely knit family enterprise is the paragraph "Although you are getting two dinners for the price of one please keep in nund that your waiter .or waitress is still doing work involved in serving two dinners when deciding how much to tip Thank you . The Carpenter Family " Jim and Betty Berger have just returned from an Knglish autumn They started out on their own with a week's stay in London and trips to Plymouth. Portsmouth and Bath In Falmouth they joined a lour and with others traveled

down the Southwest Coast to Land's End. They also made stops at Canterbury, colorful Brigh ton. Salisbury with its mighty- cathedral. Bristol, and Oxford among others. Sights that wowed them most were the Shuttleworth Collection of Antique Airplanes (Jim's a flv-boy > and Wolburn Castle. MEETING OF Stone Har bor Borough Council Oct 15 didn't hold many surprises, because again possibility- of a merchantile license was discussed at length with less than the usual heat Before it was brought up a letter was read by Margie Wohr. Ixirough clerk, addressed to council by the Realty Owner's Assoc.. asking that the tax be put on the agenda for review Oct. 15. Five councilmen weighed its merits Council pres Erie Arenberg was not there, a notable fact in itself. Councilmen Bob Boyer. William Cathcarl and Lou Clrlland opposed further argument and Councilmen Ken llawk and Harry Strohmef/ suggested getting input from shore communities which have employed such a tax already Lessened steam suggests to this reporter that the measure has lieen drow ned in the sea of debate OFFICE OF Emergency Management director Jim tlersh thanked residents for their prompt withdrawal from town during Gloria's visit and said people must realize "It's the law that everyone must evacuate when ordered to do so - only emergency personnel, chosen by tlie Chief of Police, may remain " A letter regarding possible location of a group home for retarded persons in the borough got little attention since it was felt land values here would exceed a budget for such an institution. AT TIIF MEETING'S close. ROA pres William VanNrss perplexed council by saying "I approve Or-s. dinance 755 and would like to see it advanced for third and final reading ." He made his point, since Ordinances 715, 716 and 717 ( we think > had been passed and nobody knew why. Ordinance 755 had never been mentioned and it was some minutes before council realized his purpose He said "I'm sick of numbers'"

When Council realized the audience was without an agenda. Mayor Hand apologized for the oversight and promised to correct the mistake at the next meeting We may be wrong but we think the practice of having agendas available was abandoned in Mayor Jim Wood's day HAD A BRIEF look at off island activities Oct. 11. when we went to opening ceremonies of Cape MayCounty Extension Center of Atlantic Community College in the Village Shoppes. Ric Grand. It was a blue-ribbon cutting affair in every respect Lots of brass attended College pres. Ronald W. Bush; Assemblyman Guy F. Muziani: Mayor Michael J. Yoll and others. Occasion was sparked by judicious sparing of rhetoric. Bush told listeners the extension cost $250,000. has an enrollment of 950 — "it leads the state in enrollment" — and growth is so rapid "we have already outgrown this fa cility." Exquisite pastries were the crowning touch and the creations were all made bystudents! Culinary students at ACC have their own restaurant in Mays Land. Careme's. New York Times gave it a rave review — « that's how good they are S II. Seniors are planning a Nov 20th luncheon there. ILs gourmet selection is no longer a well-kept secret If you go on your own be sure lo phone for reservations: 625-0907 AFTER A disa^^ like Gloria it's especially nice to hear good news Amy and George Kerstetter are celebrating the birth of their son.
