By LIBBY DEMP FORREST JUNE'S FINALE puts summer in the I center ring, with all its' fun and free I spirit everywhere. It's time to mingle on I the beach, in the towns and during I seashore events. This is the summer when America is I celebrating the good old American I lifestyle and heritage. Miss Liberty is I putting everybody in a happy mood. Isn't I this a grand time of year and isn't this I one grand country? • • • Even work seems fun in the summerI time because the days are so long, and the weather is of such a friendly nature. I The corn is pushing higher and higher, I and those heavenly Jersey tomatoes are plumping on the vines, Oh, the succulence of the first Jersey tomato we bite into summer. It won't be long now. * * • THE BEST THINGS in life are still free, but alas, a trip to most beaches no longer is. Everyone has a favorite time on the beach and ours is during late afternoon. We love to stroll along our favorite beach and watch the waves go in or out after nearly everybody has packed up and gone home. * * » While we're at the top of summer, we want to sample the best of this time of year. We can dine any style in Cape May county — elegant, casual or down home. L m
