End 'Vicious Circle' (From Page 62)

WE SHOULD BE engaging in long-range planning which will attract desirable development now and in the future. An important part of that plan is the availability of a college education in Cape May County Pressure should be brought to bear on the freeholders for a community college or, preferably, a four-year college, possibly one that offers post-graduate degrees. In this way. many of our high school graduates, who we have paid dearly to educate, will not leave the area to find employment opportunities. A big part of taxpayer frustra-tions-just that — we pay to educate our young and they do not come back, giving us the feeling we have wasted our tax dollars. On the other hand, potential employers with desirable businesses are hesitant to locate here because of our relatively unskilled labor force Thus, a vicious cycle is created — less money for education. less opportunity beyond high school for education and. finally, fewer opportunities for employment once someone is educated. UNFORTUNATELY, this cycle has existed :n the county for a long time, and now is the time to brc '. it for good We need to create an environment in which vocational1 education and formal post-secondary education can come together in a comprehensible way to attract employers seeking skilled tradesman and professionals Desirable employers and a skilled work force will com bine to raise ratables and the quality of living in Middle Township at the same time. This, in turn, will pressure the school system to change in positive ways In the long run. there would be more money for educa tion. more opportunities for education beyond high school and. finally, more job opportunities for graduates - a positive new cycle. As a committeeman. I would work toward the establish ment of a college in the county, whether on our own or in concert with the freeholders or other municipalities ANTHONY DEVICO III Cape May Court House

Joyride III pjk. By Libby Demp Forrest \J (ED NOTEf. Joyride columnist Forrest is recuperating from surgery In her absence, the editor will select some previous columns Considering her type of surgery, this week's was chosen for the symbolic significance of its first sentence. ) In the end. no one wanted it. No one. It had had a useful life giving comfort it had held babies, lovers, playthings It had been a place to snuggle on ; it had seen its share of sickness. TV snacks and bedtime stories Now it was worn and faded, with stuffing coming out of an arm but it was hard for us to accept it was headed for the trash heap. For 12 years we had all lived with Gold Sofa. It was the first place everyone headed when they came. into the house It was the first thing anyone talked to when they came into the house "What a lousy day I've had." it heard countless times over the years. Once in a while, someone would tell it. "I had a good day." IT WAS THE PLACE to toss school books: it was the place to curl up on to watch TV. It was the place to bury wrappers from candy and cupcakbs. it was the place to wedge little toys under the cushions When the new sofa arrived. I uncovered Gold Sofa s secrets, still buried under the arms and deep dow n near the springs. Secrets like old G.I. Joe Clothes from back when «1 had egged his G.L Joe's on into one adventure after another. There were tiny, tiny little toy figures asleep under the arms, left behind years ago when #2 used to play with those little guys. I found a scribbled note from so long ago. it all came back to me— the process children go through learning to write legiblv First you creep; then you crawl. THERE WERE THINGS that got lost years ago Things we tore apart the house to try to find and never did— until now. Old homework, some coins, a house key. Some mail from people we had long ago lost contact with Gold Sofa had gotten pretty shabby as the years had passed. We had brought a slip cover to cover the spots, the place where someone accidentally left a marker uncap ped once. The slipcover got torn; it finally faded so' much we took it off altogether, but I save it. It went outside with Gold Sofa, destined for the same trash heap WE DID TRY to locate new home for Gold Sofa. We put ads in the paper, we asked people if they wanted it We put up a sign at the curb, hoping someone would come along and take it. But in the end. no one wanted it. No one. "I felt sad when the trash man took it awav." "2 said. "He had to kind of crush it to get it on the truck It made me feel bad when he did that. 1 loved that old sofa It'll take a while before the new sofa gets talked to Before it takes on our contours and shares our secrets . Before it gets the stuffing knocked out of it.
