Howard will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with an open house Saturday, September 9 from 2 to 4 p.m. in Bethany United Methodist Church. The affair has been arranged by. the couple's . children. Rev. Howard served Bethany church for seven years from 1934 to 1941. Coinciding with this anniversary is the fact that Rev. and Mrs. Howard have completed SO years in the ministry. The Howards' ministry began with their appointment to the Reyburn Circuit outside Shickshinny, Pa., in 1926 and ended with retirement from the Simpson Memorial United Methodist Church of Long Branch in 1975.

editorials Night in Venice study has come at a prudent time event as popular and colorful as the gala Night in Venice boat parade. By the same token, there has been considerable comment in the last few years that the July bayfront extravaganza has gotten out of hand. Tne parade brings some 120,000 people on to this island, most of whom head for bayfront or on-the-water parties. Unfortunately, the overindulgence in alcoholic beverages combined with the congestion, both on land and on the water, creates a volatile situation and this year the bomb did explode when two boats collided after the parade and two people, a young man and a young woman, were killed. In nearby Stone Harbor, a similar event, the bayfront Festival of Lights, was called off a few years ago when it started to become unmanageable. While officials there said "lack of interest" forced them to halt the affair, the real reason was that residents rose in opposition to what had become a threat to the safety and welfare.of the community. In the wake of this year's accident, the same fate could have felled Night in Venice if council had not acted swiftly, openly and intelligently. Immediately following the tragic collision, council President William H. Woods courageously announced that he was calling for an investigation with the intent of developing guidelines for controlling future events. He was criticized severely in some circles but, ironically, there is little doubt that his action was needed if the perpetuation of the parade were to be guaranteed. features .*„ ^~^j officials and residents alike were ready to call for a total abolition of the parade if some restraints were not placed on the congestion and the late-night revelry. Woods, along with fellow investigators Cbuncilmen Henry S. Knight and Jack Jones, developed four requirements, which must be met, and eight recommendations for future parades. Their findings will be aired at a public meeting of council Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in council chambers on the second floor of city hall, 9th St. and Asbury Av. The four requirements include a stipulation that the parade must begin promptly at 6 p.m. to insure an early conclusion; the closing down of streets perpendicular to and adjacent to the bay from 9th St. to Arkansas Av. at 5 p.m. to aflow access by emergency vehicles; an increase in marine police patrols, and increased communications between council and parade personnel. The eight recommendations include requests for aid that can only be met through cooperation with state and federal agencies. The committee's report seems to be a fair one and one which can insure the continuation of the popular Night in Venice without undue risks to people and property. School starts, watch for children School starts tomorrow and it's time again for motorists to strip away the lazy, hazy attitude of summer driving and hone their senses to the dangers of children in the streets. Because of the density of traffic all summer long in shore resorts and adjacent mainland communities, the relief of seeing some open space after Labor Day often brings on the temptation to increase speeds. Unfortunately, it's this same tune that hundreds of kindergarten youngsters are leaving their homes and boarding buses for the first time in their lives. The excitement of this can often overrule the cautions that mothers and fathers have been issuing for the past several weeks and can lead to dangerous situations on the roadways. Motorists have to be careful all year long while school is in session, but the first few weeks are critical. Neither the driver nor the student is quite aware of inherent dangers after a summer of relaxation and cautions can be lax. The Sentinel-Ledger urges all motorists to slow down during the next few weeks and remember that youngsters are back on the road and anxiously looking forward to a bright future and not one in which they are crippled by a careless or less-thanalert driver.

Tuesday Since there is a correlation of at least 90 percent between agents that cause cancer in mammals and agents that cause mutations in bacteria, she believes the results of her experiments may well have a significant impact upon human cancer research. "I believe that we cannot understand cancer until we understand the controls that govern genes and mutations," said Dr. Witkin, who was elected last year to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of her distinguished career in research. "In my laboratory we work with bacteria, because of the ease of handling large populations and the speed of getting results and the sophisticated genetics that we can do with bacterial cells," she said. "But we do fed that what we learn is relevant to mammalian cells and to human ceUstandour ultimate goal is to understand how damage to genetic material is related to cancer. "We never assume that what is true of bacteria is necessarily true of human cells, but we do know that genes are chemically very similar in all forms of life. Other scientists are now trying to duplicate in human cells what we are doing here in bacteria." By means of ultraviolet light, Dr. Witkin and her student assistants Induce molecular damage in the genes of bacterial cells. Her work centers on the enzyme systems that operate to repair the damaged DNA and enable the ceDs to survive. Three different types of ensyme repair systems, "Wff""*' to bacteria and man, were identified by scientists in (teUtelMOs.

Notice at the left comer auditorium. Another bad storm to be recored in Ocean City was the northeast storm of March s, 6 and 7 in 1983. This was not a hurricane but a northeast gate with high tides. The winds were clocked at 60 miles an hour. However, more damage was done by the flood tide than by the wind. At least 300 homes wered damaged with 100 completely ruined. Six had disappeared without a sign. Two fishing piers along the ocean, along with the 10th St beach patrol headquarters were destroyed. Damage was greatest in the south end of Ocean City, however, the entire island was isolated from the mainland for two days because the flood tide had put the roadways underwater.

The township is one of the 108 municipalities in the state that does not have to follow the five percent spending limitation because of its low local purpose tax. The New Jersey Taxpayers Association reports that under the local cap law, enacted in 1978, municipalities with a local purpose tax rate of $.10 or less per $100 assessed valuation are not subject to the law. In 1979, the number of municipalities eligible for exception will increase to 113, more than 20 percent of the state. According to the taxpayers association. Upper Township is typical of the municipalities exempt from the caps. It describes most municipalities with low local purpose tax rates as "sparsely populated rural communities which provide only limited services" and "municipalities which receive proportionally large amounts of revenue such as utilities gross recepits and franchise taxes, and business property replacement taxes."
