The <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> SentineULedger<br />
PAGE 2 — SECTION TWO<br />
THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1974<br />
now<br />
The city commissioners met earlier<br />
. this week to deal with the question <strong>of</strong><br />
the retirement <strong>of</strong> several employees*<br />
who have reached 70 years <strong>of</strong> age.<br />
"The meeting was a positive step<br />
forward to recognizing that these<br />
people should be given their pensions<br />
and replaced with younger people with<br />
new ideas. Most <strong>of</strong> those who will be<br />
retired soon have served the city well<br />
and deserve to enjoy the fruits <strong>of</strong> their<br />
labors.<br />
Yet there is a nagging question<br />
about the mandatory retirement age <strong>of</strong><br />
70. Some employees are "old" at 50<br />
and others who have reached 70 are<br />
' young in spirit and their approach to<br />
their jobs. Thus the 70 year old cut<strong>of</strong>f<br />
age for retirement is at best a common<br />
-denominator that fails to take into<br />
consideration the human element, and<br />
that is not altogether fair.<br />
By taking action now to enforce the<br />
70 year old retirement age, the city<br />
will be losing men and women in key<br />
positions throughout the city.<br />
However, there is no lack <strong>of</strong> talented<br />
younger people ready to move into<br />
these positions. .-<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> those retiring now and in<br />
the immediate future will be taking<br />
. with them more than just a gold watch<br />
and their pensions. So Some <strong>of</strong> these<br />
employees have been on the city<br />
payroll for as long as 40 years and<br />
during that time have accumulated a<br />
staggering amount <strong>of</strong> vacation time<br />
and sick leave.<br />
It has long been the practice in city<br />
hall for employees to save up their<br />
time and remain on the city payroll for<br />
as much as two years after retirement<br />
at the rate <strong>of</strong> pay they were receiving<br />
when they <strong>of</strong>ficially left work. This is<br />
an added burden for the taxpayers who<br />
must still pay a new person to do the<br />
job.<br />
This newspaper has long advocated<br />
a controlled plan for the utilization <strong>of</strong><br />
vacation time and sick leave <strong>by</strong> city<br />
employees. Now is the time for the<br />
commissioners to pass, legislation<br />
controlling these items so retiring<br />
employees won't continue to draw<br />
from the public trough after they stop<br />
working.<br />
Walking the dog<br />
It may have sounded like a loke<br />
when Mayor B. Thomas Waldman first<br />
mentioned the possibility <strong>of</strong><br />
establishing "doggie parks" ui the<br />
city, but the Mayor insists he is serious<br />
about the possibility.<br />
The Mayor's idea deserves careful<br />
study if for no other reason than the<br />
critical problem <strong>of</strong> where to take dogs<br />
to take care <strong>of</strong> their daily needs during<br />
the busy summer months. There<br />
simply aren't enough vacant lots in the<br />
city for the dog population.<br />
The Mayor proposes to have four or<br />
six areas throughout the city where<br />
people can take their dogs to do their<br />
business, exercise, or just meet other<br />
.^•.IW* certain problems inherent<br />
with utoeLa proposal, most notably the<br />
problem <strong>of</strong> where to locate the parks.<br />
The.city owns a number <strong>of</strong> vacant lots<br />
throughout the city, but there is bound<br />
to be a stink from the neighbors if dogs<br />
<strong>by</strong> the dozen are brought daily to those<br />
locations.<br />
Comment on the contemporary<br />
Even assurances from city <strong>of</strong>ficials<br />
that the lots will be cleaned daily will<br />
do little to calm the taxpayers who end<br />
up with a doggie park next to them.<br />
And then there is the question <strong>of</strong><br />
whether people will drive to these<br />
locations when it would be a lot easier<br />
to walk their dogs closer to home even<br />
though that might mean a visit to the<br />
neighbor's lawn.<br />
Nevertheless the Mayor's idea<br />
should not be taken lightly. The<br />
problem <strong>of</strong> dogs on the beach, board-<br />
walk and iust around town is a serious<br />
one. The doggie parks might be a step<br />
forward toward public awareness that,<br />
people should be responsible for^their<br />
animals.<br />
In order to minimize neighborhood<br />
protests, the commissioners should<br />
seek out. locations away from<br />
predominently residential areas or<br />
where the population density is<br />
especially high. The idea deserves<br />
study and this should be done as soon<br />
as possible.<br />
Forum agin' em<br />
Editor, Sentinel-Ledger:<br />
During all the discussions and<br />
arguing over where to place a<br />
waste water treatment plant in<br />
<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong>, I wander why<br />
nobody ever thought • at least<br />
out loud - <strong>of</strong> the way the city<br />
could have gotten away from<br />
having any plant at all.<br />
All the Cape May County<br />
MUA had to do was look across<br />
the water, the bay, that ia. and<br />
make a deal with the Atlantic<br />
County Sewerage Authority,<br />
which, <strong>of</strong> course,ls far ahead <strong>of</strong><br />
CapeMay.<br />
^Connectors could be run to<br />
either or both <strong>of</strong> the Somers<br />
Point and Longport stations<br />
andhecoine part <strong>of</strong> the Atlantic<br />
County collection systems In<br />
other words* <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> could<br />
become a "customer" <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Atlantic County system, and<br />
not ha ve to build any plant at all<br />
(a tremendous savings there)<br />
and not have any plant at all<br />
(which I'm sure would be great<br />
with everybody).<br />
Letters shoald be brief<br />

County system, and the fact<br />
that the Atlantic <strong>City</strong> plant,<br />
which is now under con-<br />
struction, probably could<br />
handle the <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> load<br />
without any trouble. As a<br />
"customer, naturally. <strong>Ocean</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> residents would be<br />
—trrrnr* the same way as the<br />
Atlantic County residents.<br />
I'm sure you win agree this<br />
bears some considerati<br />

practical, but the smartest<br />
thing to do in many respects,<br />
keeping in mind the<br />
geographical proximity <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> to the Atlantic<br />
I have a hunch, considering<br />
how much more smoothly the<br />
Atlantic County project has<br />
been moving as compared with<br />
Cape May, that my idea may<br />
turn out to be the "only way F '<br />

with a copy to the Senttael-<br />
Ledger along with the reaaest<br />
that It be priated here.<br />
Mayor Smith: John F.<br />
Waldman selected for vice president<br />
Mark- April 1 on your<br />
calendar because today is the<br />
day the New Jersey Republican<br />
delegation to the national<br />
convention drafted Mnonrr,<br />
Mayor B. Thomas Waldman, to<br />
serve on President Ford's<br />
ticket as bis vice president.<br />
Displaying his characteristic<br />
humility when informed <strong>of</strong> the<br />
decision, Waldman noted that<br />
he only accepted the <strong>of</strong>fer after<br />
a deluge <strong>of</strong> calls from friends<br />
and acquaintances all over the<br />
country urged him to do so.<br />
"I know that there are still<br />
pressing needs here in <strong>Ocean</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> that should be attended<br />
to," Waldman said today, "but<br />
J. Fred Coldren, my friend and<br />
confidant from the days when<br />
politics were fun, has Informed<br />
me that Ford cannot win<br />
without me on the ticket"<br />
He said the city's PubUc<br />
Works Department employees<br />
have already endorsed his<br />
candidacy and have pledged to<br />
work diligently for the success<br />
<strong>of</strong> the ticket.<br />
As to the fate <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>'s<br />
record $8.5 million budget now<br />
that he is leaving, Waldman<br />
said be would return his salary<br />
to the city, there<strong>by</strong> alleviating<br />
the strain on taxpayers'<br />
pocketbooks to some degree.<br />
He directed all other<br />
uesUonson the matter to Cfaet<br />
Waldman informed us after<br />
Us news conference that, if<br />
elected, he will support the use<br />
<strong>of</strong> Christmas trees to shore up<br />
the sagging East Wing <strong>of</strong> the<br />
White House, but only if Gaudio<br />
Bros. Inc. would deliver their<br />
leftover boughs to Washington.<br />
His first act upon becoming<br />
the Vice President, Waldman<br />
said, would be to hold a gala<br />
dinner to honor all those from<br />
<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> who have served<br />
Urn so'faitnfutty over the years.<br />
"And," he added as an after<br />
thought, "I will invite Jack<br />
BUtner and Bob Ordille as long<br />
as they promise to come in<br />
through the rear entrance."<br />
Hizxoner said he and the<br />
President will be running on a<br />
platform that win address the<br />
specific issues that are<br />
plaguing America *.*wl mm* be<br />
resolved within the next four<br />
years.<br />

He had no<br />

The Mayor assured us that, tf<br />

reportedly, wfl) be located .at<br />
Annapolis where the newly-<br />
elected Vice President can<br />
while away his spare hours<br />
tinkering with the Navy's ship-<br />

The Waldman-Ford Ad-<br />

against everything that's bad,<br />
we have been told.<br />
"Anything in between wiQ be<br />

Chain letter<br />
fad is sweeping<br />
the couiytry t<br />
Chain letters *«re where it's at. Just a few days<br />
after we read a newspaper article about the in- (<br />
creasing popularity <strong>of</strong> chain letters we received one<br />
in the mail. Not since 1959 have chain letters been<br />
around in such numbers.<br />
The chain letter we received came from Venezuela<br />
and was written <strong>by</strong> St. Antonie de Sidi, a missionary<br />
from South America. Our instructions were to make<br />
20 copies <strong>of</strong> the letter and send it to our parents,<br />
friends or acquaintances. Since our parents would<br />
probably mink we were crazy if we sent them a chain<br />
letter we decided to limit circulation to friends and<br />
acquaintances. Even then we were hard pressed to<br />
find 20 people who wouldn't mink we were absolutely<br />
out <strong>of</strong> our head.<br />
The letter said that after mailing the 20 copies we<br />
would get a surprise. We are still waiting. The letter '<br />
explained that Constantine Disco received the chain<br />
in 1953. He sent 24. copies to friends and a few days<br />
later won a $2,000,000 lottery in his country. That got<br />
us interested.<br />
Carlos Brandt, an <strong>of</strong>fice worker received the chain.<br />
He did not believe in it and threw it away; Nine days<br />
later he died. That got us scared. Ken Friedman, an<br />
artist, tried the chain. Within nine days he received a<br />
great deal <strong>of</strong> help on two projects and major<br />
exhibition in a big museum.<br />
The chain is nothing more than a prayer which says<br />
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and all will<br />
acknowledge that He will light the way." The letter<br />
says that the prayer has been sent for good luck. The<br />
original prayer comes from the Netherlands and has<br />
been around the world ten times. The author <strong>of</strong> the<br />
letter insists the letter is not a joke and good luck will<br />
strike the recipient four days after the letter is<br />
received. They dent want any money sent, but the<br />
letter must be mailed within 98 hours after it is<br />
received.<br />
We sent the letter to several <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> people who.<br />
we run into during the course <strong>of</strong> a day. After they<br />
received the letter in the mail we got a number <strong>of</strong><br />
phone calls telling us we were crazy. Most <strong>of</strong> them<br />
thought it was a big joke until we told mem we were<br />
deluged with good luck four days after we received<br />
the letter. An absolute lie.<br />
All <strong>of</strong> a sudden we turned the non-believers, into<br />
believers without even teHini<br />

certainty if the letter was ignored, and this seemed to<br />
have an evctt'greltef effect onthose we.sent.the<br />
letter to. . :<br />
So we have done our duty perpetuating the chain<br />
letter and we have learned a little bit more about<br />
human nature in the process. "<br />
The arrogance <strong>of</strong> Rlzzo<br />
Philadelphia Mayor Frank L. Rizzo is about as<br />
arrogant as they come. All over the city <strong>of</strong><br />
Philadelphia are signs hailing various projects such<br />
as the reconstruction <strong>of</strong> Market St., the Im-<br />
provements at International Airport and the like.<br />
<strong>On</strong> these signs are a few brief words describing the<br />
project and then in larger letters "Frank L. Rizzo,<br />
Mayor." The name and title are apparently there to<br />
pamper Hissoner's ego.<br />
Viewing some <strong>of</strong> those signs recently at the In-<br />
ternational Airport we realized what the con-<br />
Iuences will be in three yean when Rizzo leaves<br />
ce. According to Philadelphia's city charter Rizzo<br />
can not seek a third term. We can just imagine the<br />
frenzy at the Philadelphia sign department when<br />
Rizzo steps down in January <strong>of</strong> 1979. <strong>City</strong> workers<br />
will be running around the town with paint brushes<br />
covering over the ex-Mayor's name.<br />
We have been following with a more than casual<br />
interest the conflict between Rizzo and the<br />
Philadelphia Inquirer. It has been a long simmering<br />
feud and it finally came to a head two weeks ago<br />
when the pro-Rizzo union with no contract with the<br />
Inquirer stopped the newspaper's employees from<br />
going to work.<br />
The Mayor claims he had nothing to do with the<br />
picketing and he maintain* me union was simply<br />
exercising its right to bring to public attention their<br />
grievances against the newspaper.<br />
The incident led to a series <strong>of</strong> charges and counter<br />
charges <strong>by</strong> both the inquirer and Rizzo. Everyone got<br />
into tie set fawimting the Philadelphia Chamber <strong>of</strong><br />
itd h ti b th M<br />
g pia Chamber <strong>of</strong><br />
Commerce which insisted such actions <strong>by</strong> the Mayor<br />
create a bad image <strong>of</strong> the city throughout the<br />
country.<br />
Fighting the Inquirer<br />
Rizzo claims the opposite is true. He thinks the<br />
inquirer is giving the city a bad name. Obviously<br />
there is going to be no easy solution to the ttiauy<br />
inquirer lend, but the Mayor should recognize one<br />
thing. Long after Frank Rizzo leaves <strong>of</strong>fice merewffl<br />
be a Phflanrtphia inquirer to nick over his bones<br />
There is no way the Mayor wuTget the last word in<br />

Less Drudgery...<br />
... More Living<br />
That's what retirement has meant to Fred and Frances. Of course,<br />
they spent close to forty years getting themselves ready.<br />
- They learned the richness <strong>of</strong> living ... the adventures <strong>of</strong><br />
believing and serving and sacrificing. They surrounded themselves<br />
with people who care, who are concerned, who like helping others.<br />
They based their lives on truths and ideals that do not change with<br />
every passing opportunity or disappointment. They found God.<br />
Now they are prepared to enjoy the rest <strong>of</strong>fife.<br />
