Awareness Week in Ocean City and Sea Isle City. "Prevention. A Positive Approach" is the theme March 2 through 1 1 . The council hopes to' demonstrate the "Here's Looking At You Two". Seattle Curriculum from Comprehensive Health Education Foundation in Seattle, in both local cities. THE COUNCIL is involved with assisting county schools in developing Student Assistance programs. Until recently educational systems have been left with only two choices in dealing with the problem of Alcohol/Drug use: to tolerate it or terminate it.

Neither solution has worked There is a third solution, treat it. The council's purpose is to increase the understanding that wet or dry. alcohol or pill, substance abuse is an illness. and that the alcoholic or drug addict has the right to be assisted to health, just like the diabetic or terminally ill. News Notes (From Page 10) House Betty (Mrs. Harry) Melah was on duty that day and we'd offered to help with telephones in case of a sudden rush of tourists. Because of inclement weather it never got too busy, but there was an even flow of customers, phoned inquiries and reports. As Seven-Mile Beach chauvinists, we were surprised to find almost all queries concerned lodgings. restaurants and attractions in Cape May City. The bureau of tourism there deserves four stars. Innkeepers kept the chamber office appraised when guests checked out and rooms became available. [ \ BETTY'S professional talents were impressive; In minutes, she'd have a potential guest talking to a hotelier by phone and finalizing reservations. She's equally good at giving directions, making strangers familiar with routes to specific points by use of a map. If they had children with them, she'd suggest a stop at the zoo: "We have a live lion." The center contains a wealth of information, i.e., directions to hospitals, post offices, scenic gardens; schedules of ferry depar tures; booklets and maps are obtainable for historic sites, camp sites and tours One case holds mementoes of the area. Most unusual, we thought, was sheet music for the song On the Way to Cape May Requirements for doing Betty's job are simple but varied: Love and understanding of people < M A in psychology . helpful): resourcefulness a requisite; lour director's curiousity and knowledge, first-aid techniques; speak three languages; unlimited patience with children of all ages: and a welcoming manner. It's a breeze, really Ruthie i Mrs Eugene' Fisher held the Feb. 20th meeting of the Sewing Institute of Stone Harbor. This is one of the town's older traditions and 10 members. Nancy Phillips. Jean W e s t h of f . Matt Woolery. Sara Brady. Alice Daniels. Peg Grimes, Dolty Slump and Dot McMahon, showed up despite the February migration to Florida As usual, chit-chat rather than needlework was the feature attraction and a bracing brunch was provided. The hostess was the most serious stitcher present. She's finishing off a hand worked quilt in shades of blue (1.100 circles and 124 patchwork diamonds) for her daughter Pat Parker. She said it took forever to make the first but she's got the knack of it now and plans to produce one circle or diamond a day until she completes two more quilts.
