I can't believe this article will appear in MAY! It doesn't seem possible. A relatively mild winter has passed us by; It's spring. Can the season be far behind? Spring at the seashore is something else, indeed. One can pass a mo*el at noon on Monday and by that evening, the "sheets" are removed from the windows, the plastic palms are up, walks are lined with bright, synthetic geranium blooms, the vacancy sign is out, and eight cars are parked in the lot. It's a miraculous transformation, as though the winter never happened Nothing is done gradually along Five.Mile Beach. SINCE childhood, I have enjoyed the pennings of Goethe. In particular, a verse, committed to memory decades ago, always surfaces this time of year. "So then the year is repeating its old story again. We are come once more, thank God, to its most charming chapter. The violets and the May flowers are its inscriptions or vignettes. It always makes a pleasant impression on us. when we open again at these pages of the bcK)k of life." Notwithstanding the degree of commercialism that we witness residing in a tourist town, it is a grand time of year, isn't it? ON TO THE'other rites of spring, yard sales and flea markets. Here are two events to mark on your calendar. The first is* the flea market /yard sale being planned by the Church of the Assumption starting 9 a.m. Thursday. May 15. through Saturday. May 17. The event will be held at the church. Rambler and Seaview Avenue, Wildwood Crest. Thf second listing is actually a reminder. About a month ago, I mentioned the yard sale planned by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Wildwood Crest Fire Department. May 17 the organization will host its annual yard sale in the parking lot across from the police/fire station at Cardinal and Pacific Avenue 10 a.m.-4 p.m. FUNNY THING about yard sales and flea markets, it really seems

) like a gigantic transference t of "stuff" from one i household to another, kin to i the way Social Security operates. I suppose. Last week. I saw "Nan" Lee going into a churchsponsored sale carrying a big box of stuff. Hours later, after donating her day assistfeg at the sale, she exited the sale carrying a big box — of other stuff. The exact details surrounding the "deal" remain a shrouded secret, but according to Pat Collins. "Nan's" daughter, the

Barcelona Motel remains the area's largest repositroy of "winter hand bags" I just love yard sales! SEVENTY-FIVE, fifth and sixth graders from Margaret Mace School enjoyed a day at the beach last week, ma^le possible through the efforts of the North Wildwood Public Works Department and the generosity of local Elks Lodge 18%. The B.P.O.E. donated 3,500 dune grass plants to

the city and the Public Works Department 2 enlisted the aid of the school to accomplish the i .planting. The site selected was directly behind the j restored and LIT Hereford Lighthouse. TIM O'LEARY instructed the students on the proper procedure for planting. Councilman Ralph Johnson extended the city's appreciation to the students and to the Elks. Good project. THE RECENT nuclear accident in Chernobyl has again rekindled concerns over the burning of toxic wastes directly off our shores. Many local residents, are rallying i Page 33 Please)
