It's hard to find a good hoagie sale these days. Not that a good hoagie can't be found, because many of the local sandwich shops are re-opening. It's just that the organizational hoagie season is behind us. Group members are busy "deonionizing" their buildings for the Spring Rummage Sale Season. You can count on it. With the first pitch of the professional baseball season comes the Greater Wildwood Organizational Rur^mage Season. Super bargains, lots of conversation. and pleasantries will abound. RUMMAGE SALES are events, not just fundraisers. The opening volley of offerings is listed below, and keep pasted to this column because more will appear as they are scheduled April 16 and 17, St. Simeon's Episcopal Church 25th and Central Avenue, will host its annual spring rummage sale at 9 a.m. -3 p.m. on the 16th and 9 a m. -noon the 17th. Not to be outdone, the Order of The Eastern Star will host its annual rummage sale with a light lunch available. Chapter 118, O.E.S.. has announced a sale for April 26 and 27. It will be held 3 p.m. -5 p.m. each day at the Masonic Temple. 6300 Atlantic Ave., Wildwood Cuttt. ANOTHER Wildwood Crest-based rummage sale will be offered by the First Methodist Church April 25 and 26 at Fern Road and Atlantic Avenue 9 a.m. -4 p.m. All of this brings me back to something I mentioned several months ago. I really think that all the organizations should band together and rent Convention Hall for their annual spring rummage sales. I can envision all organizations, churches, and civic groups with their respective area Boldly bannered and attractively signed, the various booths would be an attraction to all patrons who could simply walk around and support the group of their choice. It could become as popular as the annual Jaycee's Trade Show IT MAY BE subtle, but it's promotion nonetheless "What is it?" you say It's the recent New Jersey Bell "Customer Courtesy" training film recently filmed at the El Coronado Motor Inn in Wildwood Crest. The El Coronado was chosen from a list of facilities to be featured in the traiiHhg film designed to impress' the value of courtesy upon N.J. Bell employes The film. recorded by an advertis- / ing/film firm out of Ne\y York City, featured hotel staff members, as well As panoramic shots of tpe area. J Naturally. N.J. Hell hopes that a lesson is/imparted to those who view the flick, but those of xls on Five Mile Beach are hdping that somewhere out [here is that N.J. Bell employe who says. "What a great location to take the Kids this summer." This is ah. example of subliminal pro- ^ motion or the old "we'll

take it any way we can" type of advertising. THOSE OF you with children who will enter the school system next fall, take note that NOW is the time to register them. The latter part of April and early May is traditionally the time set saide by the Five Mile Beach School Districts for the preregistration of entering youngsters. Call the local school in your community for further information. In North Wildwood, it is Margaret Mace School. 522-1454. In Wildwood, call the Glenwood Avenue Elementary School. 522-1630 In Wildwood Crest, it is The Philip Baker School, 522-3818. Those who may choose the parochial school offering are invited to call St. Ann's Elementary School al 522-2704. I HAVE mentioned Mary Federici and her abundant artistic talent in several past columns. She seems to be involved in anything cultural and/or artistic. Well, she's at it again... Federici ha - offered to instruct the adult art classes being formed in North Wildwood by the recreation department. That's good news, as fewcan do it better! As stated the classes are in the formation stage. If you are interested in attending. call 522-2955 for registration information The classes are tentatively scheduled for each Thursday in the early afternoon. DID YOU KNOW that we had a very active Boy Scout Troop on Five Mile Beach? Well we do If you have a child who may be interested. call 522-7285 for participation information That number belongs to "Mr. Boy Scout", the assistant troop leader for Troop 185, Al Brannen. I had the pleasure of speaking with Al last wek and his enthusiasm for scouting is contagious That's commendable If he sells provisions of Gardner Foods as well as he sells scouting he must do very well! Troop 185 is headed by "Ozzie" Osborne, with Al Brannen as his assistant troop master According to

Al. the troop is very active and the members find themselves ' 'doing something" all of the time. That's good! RECENTLY the troop took a brief bicycle trip to the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, took the ride to the "other side" and peddled to Cape Henlopen for a night of camping With the Cape closed, they were instructed to bike-it to Rehobeth Beach, which was "just down the road". "Just down the road" turned out to be another 18 miles! Needless to say, all slept well and returned the next day a bit weary, but refreshed from an excellent weekend. This singlular experience certainly answers the question "Why scouting?" If you have a scout-aged child who sat around last weekend, bored with nothing to do. consider scouting and give Al a call Scouting does make a difference and Troop 185 is an example of scouting at its best I WILL LEAVE you this week with a little ditty I came across No. it doesn't involve the Wildwoods, but it is interesting despite that fact. I was researching diets inot for personal use. of course) and I read a recent press release issued by the US Dept. of Agriculture. All of the diet and calorie information that we read and use was set forth more than 100 years ago by a man named Wilbur Atwater. Not that Atwater is the villian of this digression. It's just that food processing and the character of the American people has changed so drastically that his studies are now meaningless The agency will spend the next year and millions of dollars to correct the errors that abound in our pre sent calorie tables This is earth-shattering, to say the least, but now you now have the answer to why the 2.000-calorie diet doesn't work It's because the info is wrong in the first place and 2.000 calories are still too many Enter the 500-calorie maintenance diet Ugh!
