If Patrick Henry thought taxation without representation was bad, he 

should see it with representation. Outpost, Key West, '• C". 

Election campaigns and suggested 

investigation of activities of in- 

cumbent officeholders are chronic 

visitations on the public, and the 

voters of Cape May County are subject 

to these perennial intrusions at the 

moment. 

Philip R. Matalucci, a Middle 

Township cement ' contractor 

and an unsuccessful aspirant for 

election as a freeholder, has asked the 

county prosecutor's office to look into 

the practices of Freeholder Director 

Joseph W. Rixey, Jr., in the matter of 

bids on county contracts. 

Matalucci charges that Rixey has 

piecemealed contracts to avoid the 

state law which establishes the 

minimum on which a contract can be 

awarded without competitive bidding. 

Rixey in defense of his actions says 

that he and the board acted on the 

advice of county solicitors in the ap- 

proval of small contracts. 

Now William Woods, the Democratic 

candidate for freeholder, suggests that 

the State Attorney's office take the 

matter out of the County Prosecutor's 

office and that any such investigation 

be expanded to include the bidding 

practices of all incumbent freeholders, 

not just those of one. 

Since Rixey implicated the county 

solicitor's office in the issue, Woods' 

suggestion seems plausible. There are 

personal, legal and political obstacles 

in the path of any impartial probe 

should Prosecutor John Corino accede 

to Matalucci's suggestion. 

The initial question to be resolved is 

whether or not an investigation into 

the matter of contract bids is really 

warranted. The suggestion could be 

merely political campaign tactics. The 

separation of the wheat from the chaff 

in this instance should be the 

responsibility of the State Attorney's 

office, and not that of the prosecutor's 

office. 

Woods' suggestion while plausible is 

also superfluous. Matalucci said he 

plans to give the prosecutor's office 

the first opportunity to take action in 

the matter, and has indicated that if 

there is not such action at Court House 

he will take the matter to the State and 

Federal attorneys. 

Treacherous waters 

Of the miles and miles of ocean and 

bay waters surrounding the sandy 

island on which Ocean City is located, 

the Great Egg Harbor Inlet probably is 

the most deadly section for boaters. 

Last weekend two men drowned in 

the choppy waters of the turbulent 

inlet at the north point of the beach. 

Several weeks ago a family of four was 

rescued after a wave flipped their 

craft dunking them all in the 

treacherous surf and currents. 

Experienced boatmen in and around 

Ocean City know that even in the best 

of weather, the Great Egg Harbor Inlet 

is a difficult stretch of water to 

navigate. In stormy weather it is 

impossible. 

Yet year-after-year there are those 

who defy the threat of the Inlet to try 

and reach the sea for no greater 

reason than to reel in a few pounds of 

fish. The price of this foolheartiness 

has been costly in human lives. 

Among the boating fraternity there 

are, no doubt, the same reckless 

operators that are found among 

motorists on the highways. A little 

caution and a little respect of the 

prevalent dangers would cut down on 

fatalities in both areas. 

When storm warnings are posted, 

boatmen should heed them. Even 

when the skies are sunny and bright, 

the inlet and the surf may be roused by 

passing storms at sea and not 

navigable. The sandbar which 

narrows the inlet also lends to the 

turbulence through the waves which 

are generated over its shallow depth. 

Area marinas, gasoline docks, boat 

liveries and other knowledgable 

people along the bayfront could help 

out by keeping their customers posted 

on conditions in the inlet, and at the 

same time educate them to the fact 

that the Inlet is no place for an inex- 

perienced boatman or a small boat. 

A genile reminder 

Last week we commented editorially 

on the relative joy in store for local 

motorists when several sections of 

Central av. are resurfaced. 

, While the Central av. paving project 

is to be lauded as an overdue blessing 

for shaken motorists, there is the hope 

that the 9th st. paving job will not be 

forgotten. 

The four-lane state highway bearing 

traffic from Somers Point to Ocean 

City is as good as most resort entrance 

highways in Southern New Jersey, 

better than some. 

. However, once off the east incline of 

the 9th st. bridge over Beach 

Thorofare motorists encounter one of 

the more jolting rides to be had on any 

With tongue In cheek 

established street anywhere in the 

country. 

The surface of 9th st. from the bridge 

to West av. is deplorable. Pockmarks, 

raised manhole covers, elevated 

abandoned railroad beds and large 

rambling cracks are rough on 

automobiles and rougher on motorists. 

The three blocks of roadway from 

the bridge to West av. is one of the 

most heavily travelled streets in town, 

the entire year-around. It is in dire 

need of repair, and City Hall'has said 

the project is slated for this year. 

Again, we hope the 9th st. paving job 

is not forgotten in the city's highway 

improvement plans this year.

Leaving his mark 

Garden State 

\ TRENTON — Farms in New 

Jersey are becoming scarcer 

each year and with the 1971 

nearly all harvested, 

iculturists are taking time 

to think about the future of 

) In theGarden State, 

rankly, from- Governor 

lam T. Cahill to the lowest 

id employee of the State 

Department of Agriculture, 

concern over the situation has 

become a predominant factor. 

State Secretary of Agriculture 

Phillip Alampi has appointed a 

Blueprint Commission of 

prominent* farmers and 

specialists to study the future of 

New Jersey agriculture. . 

The 1969 Census of United 

States Agriculture verifies 

suspected trends to the effect 

that farms are disappearing in 

the Garden State. In 1964, the 

total land on farms in New 

Jersey was 1,153,550 acres. By 

1969, the total had gone down to 

1,035,678 acres, a 10 percent 

drop. During the same five 

years, the number of all farms 

in the State went from 10,641 to 

8,493 farms a 20 percent drop or 

a loss of over 2,000 farms. 

In 1964, the State had a total 

of 7,605 farms with gross sales 

in excess of $2,500. In 1989 the 

total was 5,641. Only those 

farms with gross sales in ex- 

cess of $40,000 in gross sales 

Increased in number.* More 

than 50 percent of the decrease 

in total number of farms was in 

the $5,000 to $9,999 and $10,000 to. 

$19,999 classes. 

The size of the average farm 

in 1964 in New Jersey was 108.6 

acres, and that had increased to 

121.9 acres hi 1969. The average 

value of land and buildingsjni 

New Jersey farms in 1964 was 

$73,487, but this had increased 

to $133,202 five years later. 

During the same period, the 

average value of land and 

buildings per acre had gone 

from $662.42 to $1,092.31. 

The great .majority of farm 

operators in New Jersey are 

full owners of their farms. The 

average age of farm operators 

decreased slightly in the- five- 

year period, going from 52.6 

years in 1964 to 52.5 years in 

1969. In the same five year 

period, market value of all 

agricultural products sold went 

from $215,615,000 in 1964 down 

to $213,892,755 in 1969. 

NEW CONSTRUCTION:- 

With State lottery revenues for 

the six-month period' ending 

June 30 exceeding original 

estimates by $18,000,000, State 

institutions and college officials 

are scrambling for the funds to 

construct new buildings. 

All Lottery funds are 

dedicated by law to con- 

struction of new institutions 

and colleges. Already $15 

million of the first six months of 

the lottery ending in June has 

been pledged to accommodate 

an increase of approximately 

11,500 students during the 1970- 

71 school year in the State 

colleges and Rutgers 

University. 

In addition, Governor Cahill 

has revealed the State an- 

ticipates an additional increase 

of 17,000 students in the 1971-72 

school year in all institutions of 

higher learning. 

The Governor has em- 

phasized that the unexpended 

lottery proceeds will be devoted 

to elementary and secondary 

school programs as well as 

programs in the Department of 

Institutions and Agencies such 

as improved services for the 

mentally retarded and prison 

rehabilitation 'as called for. in 

the referendum approved by 

the voters which created New 

Jersey's lottery. 

• During the first six months of 

this year, $29.8 million in prize 

money was awarded in the 

lottery and another $3.9 million 

in prize money has been un- 

claimed.

Ocean City a fa Carte 

LE GRAND PATRIARCH —We were told a story 

recently, which may or may not be true, about a rich 

man and his family. It is one of those rags to riches 

stories that can happen only in America. However, 

the grand patriarch system, in the true Sense of the 

word, dates back to Medieval Europe. The grand 

patriarch was lord and master of all he surveyed. So 

without further .comment; our story: Once upon a 

time there was a grand patriarch named Duke 

Wilhelm. Our Duke, had a past steeped in European 

legend, but was actually the third in a succession of 

poverty stricken Wilhelms. Disgusted with city life, 

he decided to leave the big city and try his luck on the 

farm. Cows and chickens weren't his bag, so he 

opened up a small but prospering business and 

employed several brothers and cousins. Wilhelm 

used to sit in front of the fireplace each night and tell 

his pretty young wife about the children they were 

going to have and how the Wilhelm clan was going to 

live and prosper on the farm. Within 10 years 

Wilhelm and his wife had a half dozen children 

running around the house. Each night they would 

gather around the young Grand Patriarch and he 

would tell them how they were going to grow up and 

bring their families to sit in front of the fireplace also. 

The Grand Patriarch must have had.plans of adding 

an auditorium onto the house to handle the crowd. In 

tune, all of the sons and daughters joined the family 

business while the mother stayed home and tended to 

the limited number of crops and vegetables, which 

were cultivated in the rich soil of the farm to provide 

nourishment for the Grand Patriarch's family. One 

by one the Grand Patriarch's children got married 

and brought then* husbands and wives to the nightly 

fireside meetings. July and August were the two most 

unbearable months for these get-togethers, since the 

Grand Patriarch didn't like air conditioning. The 

mates of the Grand Patriarch's children joined the 

family firm and did the bidding of their father-in-law 

every day. Then the Grand Patriarch decreed that he 

should have grandchildren, and it was so. Soon the 

pitter-patter of little feet was heard in front of the 

fireplace, the Grand Patriarch's family numbered 

40 and he saw that it was good. The Grand Patriarch 

scheduled all the leisure time activities for his sons 

and daughters, their mates and their children. 

Horseback riding, fishing trips and hunting ex- 

peditions were but a few of the planned activities. 

Everyone participated (except the mother who was 

still tending the crops) and everyone smiled, or so the 

Grand Patriarch thought. But something bad was 

happening. While the Grand Patriarch was pleased 

with what he saw, the inner smiles of his children and 

grandchildren were turning into frowns. They had 

lost then* individuality and when they returned to 

their homes adjacent to the Grand Patriarch's farm, 

. all of their discussions and their thoughts centered 

around the Grand Patriarch and what he might think 

if they did something on their own. Unhappy with 

themselves, some of the sons and daughters tried to 

move away and start their own lives, but they found 

they couldn't. After all, they worked for the Grand 

Patriarch and were beholden to him for money and 

favors. — 

Marvin raps newsman's nostalgia on Farley 

If yr u place your hand in the 

lion's cage, you can expect to 

'.avc it bitten. 

i vou write something 

co- imentary about State 

"PI. Frank S. Farley, of 

Alia. County, you can expect 

to hear from Marvin D. Per- 

skie. 

Recently in this space we 

recalled the nicer side.of the 

venerable legislator across 

Great Egg Harbor Bay ex- 

perienced by us in earlier. 

'times. True to form, the < 

bombastic ex-Marine who > 

'practices law in Wildwood 

nipped at our hide. • 

i' In reprimanding us and 

exhorting on the evils he alleges 

it© have been perpetrated by 

: Farley on the unsuspecting 

'populace of Atlantic County, 

i Marvin abused his prerogative 

(as a member of the bar,..a 

f preponderance of words. 

The lengthy reprisal, printed 

: as a letter to the editor, cast our 

. journalistic Judgement into 

disrepute and laid at Farley's 

• feet every sin of commission or 

omission committed in the 

Atlantic County and Atlantic 

City governments for the past 

three decades. 

We can understand criticism 

on our reportorial talents, but it 

' is difficult to understand how 

someone like Farley could have 

instituted all the misdeeds 

Perskie credits him with over 

the past 30 years and still 

remain out of Jail. Either 

Farley is more influential than 

most of us think, or Hie Btate 

attorney general'soffice is very 

ineffective. And for some part 

of the Farley era they have 

been Democratic attorney 

generals. 

However, we learned at our 

father's side never to argue 

with lawyers/ the family 

. physician or a self-styled 

hlBtorian. Besides, in his quest 

for Farley's political scalp over 

a number of years, 

Marvin's letter was a little 

disappointing in several 

respects. He is capable of more 

sophisticated and articulate use 

of the language.His allegations 

about Farley were not too- 

shocking. Mostof us have heard 

them before. But Marvin's 

rhetoric indicates lie would cast 

into a social and political limbo 

anyone who has even a kind 

thought for Farley. 

We took exception to several 

points in Marvin's message 

After completing his lengthy 

tirade on Farley,. Marvin 

chided us personally in the last 

sentence of the letter when be 

wrote...quote... "shame on 

vou"...unquote. 

Where is the "shame" of 

looking at the good aide of a 

person? We're inclined to the 

Pollyanniflfa view that there is 

some good in everyone. After 

SBtJSS not need us in the ranks of Us 

detractors. He has them by the 

legion. We prefer to remember 

him as the nice guy we knew 

during the earlier years when 

our association was closer. 

More disappointing of 

Marvin's propensity for words 

than the • "shame on you" 

phrase was a paragraph 

...again we quote..: "Maudlin, 

ill-based, nostalgia like yours is 

Just one of the contributions to 

the lack of faith and confidence 

in our very form of government 

that abounds in the country 

today"...unquote- v 

If it was maudlin, we 

apologize. Some readers 

thought it was anything but 

maudlin. Ill-based? Any topic 

that Is not agreeable; to per- 

aonal opinion is ill-based. As for 

nostalgia contributing to the 

lack of faith and confidence in 

the government:..Just more 

lawyer words, like their 

courtroom dialogue, "It is 

irrelevant, immaterial." Both 

mean the same thing. 

If anything, more nostalgia 

on the part of more people 

would restore, rather, than 

detract, from the healthlof pur 

society. Nostalgia is history on 

a personal basis, and 

who rejects the lessons of 

history in living the present or 

planning the future is not taking 

advantage of all his options. 

What is destroying the faith 

and confidence in government 

Is not "maudlin, ill-based 

nostalgia," but rather'the 

apparent lack of integrity and 

the certain lack of credibility so 

prevalent in many of our 

leaders today. This situation 

revolves around the bate and 

animosity which exists at every 

strata of, our contemporary 

society...political, racial and 

p e r s o n a l . . • •' •' • A • ••• 

So, at the risk of infuriating 

. prized acquaintances such \as: 

Marvin's, or even nauseating 

them with touches of nostalr 

we intend to pursue our 

Umental side and 

something'' nice about 

every chance we get. • 

v —V.T. 

Editor, Sentinel-Ledger: 

Your editorial in the Sentinel- 

Ledger of September 23 is I 

believe somewhat premature 

when it was entitled "Good-by 

Washboard av." The contract 

which the city recently let to 

rebuild Central av. between 

11th and 14th sts. and also 

between 29th and 34th sts., 

including the removal oi the old 

trolley track ties, will not 

complete the rebuilding of the 

entire section of Central av. 

between llth and 34th sts. 

' The one area between 14th 

and 24th sts. was rebuilt about 

six years ago, but the area 

between 24th and 29th sts. has 

never been touched except for ' 

sporadic patching. One ride 

over the southbound lane of 

Central av. in this area will 

certainly indicate the need for 

complete rebuilding of the 

street and will also indicate 

mat the old ties still exist under 

the present street surface. 

I have been a property owner 

in the 2800 block of Central av. 

since 1044 and I know that the 

street has not been rebuilt 

during the intervening years. 

That section of Central av. 

- immediately north of the traffic 

light at 29th st. is especially bad 

not only to the ties under the 

surface but also to the braking 

action of automobiles and 

trucks coming to a stop at the 

light and working the surface of 

the street into a severe wash- 

board effect. 

The pleasure of driving along 

a "smooth and safe Central 

av." will not yet be possible 

until the City rebuilds the area 

between 24th and 29th sts.

EPILOGUE —We wish we could say this story had 

a happy ending, but we really don't know what 

happened. We imagine a few of the Grand Patriar- 

ch's clan rebelled and made it on their own. But 

following historical precedent, more than likely most 

of the family stayed intact and the Grand Patriarch 

is still holding court in front of the fireplace. Two of 

the families that were influenced most by grand 

patriarchs in this country were those of Joseph P. 

Kennedy, Sr., and Adolph Ochs, owner of the New 

York Times. However, we suppose it could apply to a 

lot of families in upper-middle class America. Like 

anything else,,the tragic consequences of the grand 

patriarch system occur when the concept is carried 

to extremes. 

BETWEEN THE LINES — A news release from 

Mayor Joseph ROOD, chairman of the County 

Republican Organization, was delivered to our office 

the other day. The statement followed a story in an 

area daily newspaper that reported on the activities' 

of a closed meeting of officials of the County 

Republican Organization. It was reported at that; 

time that Freeholder Director Joseph W. Rixey had' 

been asked to resign because of his involvement in 

improper bidding practices on county contracts. 

Roop's statement contains some of those classic 

statements issued by politicians from time to time. It 

says more between the lines than it does in the 

printed word. Here are a few examples: (our in- 

terpretation of the remarks is in parenthesis) "The 

story indicates that Rixey was asked to withdraw and 

someone else be placed in his position on the ballot. I 

wish to make it clear that this is not so. Everyone 

realizes by this time that this is the only move on 

Rixey's part that would get. Phil Matalucci off his 

back.*' (Everybody doesn't realize this, but it would 

be one way of keeping Matalucci, also a Republican; 

from saying embarrassing things about the party.) 

"I think it is also very clear that PhU has shown his 

true colors as a Republican and a very poor loser in 

any kind of contest." (Matalucci lost the Republican 

primary contest and if he wants to make noise her 

should become a Democrat.) "We of the Republican 

Party have no fear of his charges and threats to go to* 

the prosecutor." (The prosecutor is also a' 

Republican and the law partner of State Senator 

Robert E. Kay.) "If there be any wrongdoings by 

people in office, it will be their burden to carry " 

(There is no way those of us Who haven't been 

fingered are going to get involved.) "At no tithe was 

Mr. Rixey asked to withdraw; anyone attempting to 

verify this could have contacted any Republican 

leader at the meeting." (Birds of a feather fly 

together.)' "This verification was never sought '* 

(and it's too late now) "Mr. Rixey won the primary 

election and Mr. Matalucci ran last." (It was too 

close for comfort.) "The voters have spoken and will 

have another chance on November 2. (Un- 

fortunately.)

B p.m. - Testimony meeting 

More attention needs to be 

paid to the source of thought 

and action. This is a theme to be 

brought out Sunday at Christian 

Science church services. 

These words of Christ Jesus 

will be read: "Every tree that 

bringeth not forth good fruit is 

hewn down, and cast into the 

fire. Wherefore by their fruits 

ye shall know them." The 

subject of the Bible Lesson- 

Sermon is "Unreality." 

Commentary from Science 

arid Health with Key to the 

Scriptures by Mary Baker 

-Eddy includes: "Man walks in 

the direction towards which he 

looks, and -where his treasure' 

is, there will his heart be also. If 

our hopes and affections are 

spiritual, they come from 

above, not from beneath, and 

they bear as of old the fruits of 

the Spirit."

"We care for the dead — \ 

but serve the living." Catchy , 

slogan that...but slogans 

'have to be Implemented if 

they are to be something 

more than froth. How often 

have you looked at the ap- 

petizing dishes pictured in 

full color at a drug-store. 

(lunch counter, replete with 

descriptive, phrases like 

"country-fresh" and 

"succulent crispness," and- 

then turned to the cold 

reality on your plate. In 

reality, caring for the dead 

C while serving- the living is a 

SEAVILLE UNITED tall order to which we have 

ETHODIST devoted many years of 

training and more years of; 

practice. Yet, we are still 

learning, every day, from 

the people we serve that the 

facets of the human con- 

dition are infinite in their 

variety.

Frightening, isn't it? You sec u picture like this 

;ind suddenly you feel you are standing at the edge 

of a. chasm in the dark. You arc confronted with 

the threat of the unknown, and you don't like it. 

Why, you wonder? Why can't men live together 

in peace? 

We all need the courage to face v the future un- 

afraid. We need, to find and to develop love, under- 

standing and peace of mind. But to attain our goal, 

we need Faith. That help can be found in church. 

On Worldwide Communion Sunday — millions 

of men and women will unite in one of Christianity's 

holy sacraments. There will he new faces at thou- 

sands of -altars, men and women who have only 

recently begun to 'realize where man's Hope is to 

be found.
