With Labor Day comes the dose <strong>of</strong><br />
thu <strong>1970</strong> summer season in <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
and the deparum 1 <strong>of</strong> the legion <strong>of</strong><br />
vacationers and short-tJ-rm visitors who<br />
have made our lives st> much riinri><br />
okeiting <strong>of</strong> the p«st 13 weeks<br />
There is the inclination to refer to<br />
Labor Day us the traditional 'Mid <strong>of</strong> the<br />
summer season ut th* 1 shore This is a<br />
misnomer, since thr rlimatological<br />
summer season extends into Indian<br />
Summer which lasts through October<br />
Labor Day as .the climax <strong>of</strong> the season<br />
is more a mutter <strong>of</strong> expediency that <strong>of</strong><br />
tradition. It is n certainty that were it<br />
not f<strong>of</strong> the fact that the schools in the<br />
Philadelphia metropolitan area, from<br />
whence comes most <strong>of</strong> our summer<br />
guests, open nest week, vacation<br />
activities in <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> would continue<br />
through the golrlen Hay "f <strong>Sep</strong>tember<br />
and October<br />
However, while the bf^adwmnpr may<br />
be willing to spend the summer<br />
commutinH brtwu'n his soashun 1 lifimi 1<br />
here, owned or lewd, and his work in<br />
Philadelphia, it is not very feasible for<br />
the children to make the daily jaunt<br />
hack ami fortli A good number <strong>of</strong> these<br />
slimmer residents have found it possible,<br />
and pleasant, to return to the shore cm<br />
weekends, elearup into November,<br />
So, I4il)or Day rings down thi 1 curtain<br />
on the shore season, just,as surely by<br />
expediency as by tradition It has been a<br />
good summer, a conclusion reached by<br />
natives based on the number <strong>of</strong> visitors<br />
and their deportment and considerations<br />
as our Kiiests<br />

A matter <strong>of</strong> public relations<br />
Several letter* in today's Fonim<br />
column on this page is disturbing to<br />
anyone who likes to cherish the idea that<br />
<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> is, indeed, America's finest<br />
family resort<br />
<strong>On</strong>e letter tells <strong>of</strong> a mother and her<br />
small son who could not find<br />
aceomodations for an overnight visit to<br />
the shore. It seems that motel operators,<br />
according to the letter, require at least a<br />
two-ntght minimum stay.<br />
The other letter tells <strong>of</strong> a woman with<br />
her family and friends who were denied<br />
access to a boardwalk paviilion to rest<br />
following a shopping visit on the<br />
boardwalk. It seems the paviilion was<br />
closed by police because <strong>of</strong> some<br />
unpleasantness earlier with a p-oup <strong>of</strong><br />
young people.<br />
<strong>On</strong>e letter writer said she has<br />
scratched <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> from her list <strong>of</strong><br />
places to visit. The other complains <strong>of</strong> a<br />
"police state" on the boardwalk, a<br />
condition which encourages visitors to<br />
look elsewhere for their seashore<br />
pleasures.<br />
It is not wise to minimize these<br />
individual eases If they are isolated<br />
eases, all right. But how many similar<br />
unpleasantries and inconveniences occur<br />
to visitors through the course <strong>of</strong> the<br />
summer 1 '<br />
Good public relations is a necessity in<br />
a resort like <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong>, It should be<br />
practiced by public agencies and private<br />
enterprise alike. An accumulation <strong>of</strong><br />
isolated situations could snowball and<br />
ruin the reputation which <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
has so laborously built and preserved<br />
over the fast three quarters <strong>of</strong> a<br />
century.<br />
Wi should ft!! resolve to be on our best<br />
behavior when these strangers come<br />
knocking at our door. And we should<br />
treat them more with compassion as<br />
humans than as just stock in trade.<br />
Indifference to even the slightest wishes<br />
<strong>of</strong> our visitors is a blemish on the<br />
reputation <strong>of</strong> the resort. Not only is it<br />
not good business, it is downright rude.<br />
Let's extend our social good<br />
neigh borliness into our business<br />
activities. Let's be p-acious hosts.<br />
Trawlers raid our fish supply<br />
<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> surf and small boat<br />
fishermen have, been enjoying a good run<br />
<strong>of</strong> fiih, mostly weakflsh and some blues,<br />
<strong>of</strong>f th§ beach in the area from 11th st, to<br />
14th st.<br />
The anglers were shocked and, in<br />
some cases, outraged early Tuesday<br />
momlng when a fleet <strong>of</strong> commercial<br />
draggers came in to the breakwater and<br />
spread their nets. The haul by the<br />
commercial fishermen ruined the sport,<br />
in that area for the rest <strong>of</strong> the week,<br />
pOMibly longer,<br />
Veteran fishermen say that the<br />
westerly winds that have prevailed<br />
during the early part <strong>of</strong> this- week<br />
brought the schools <strong>of</strong> fish closer in on<br />
the beach. The draggers, which normally<br />
work a mile or more at sea, followed the<br />
fish in.<br />
The situation is frustrating to the<br />
individual anglers, who contend that<br />
sport fiihing is one <strong>of</strong> the major<br />
attractions in a seaside resort like <strong>Ocean</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong>, The draggers were in their legal<br />
rights, which permit them to pursue<br />
schools <strong>of</strong> fish "up to the wash" on the<br />
beach.<br />
The sports fishermen for years have<br />
been contesting the rights <strong>of</strong> commercial<br />
fishing boats to raid the favorite angling<br />
spots <strong>of</strong> the sportsmen. They have<br />
learned that the commercial fishermen<br />
have a powerful lobby in Trenton, and,<br />
consequently, have pretty much their<br />
own way in chasing their day's catch.<br />
However, such antics will ruin the<br />
sport <strong>of</strong> fishing in <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong>, and local<br />
and county authorities should lend the<br />
weight <strong>of</strong> their <strong>of</strong>fices to the plea <strong>of</strong> tire<br />
sports fishermen who want to preserve<br />
<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> and the Southern New Jersey<br />
beachfront as good fishing grounds.<br />

Editor. Sentinel Ledger<br />
This Ls in responsp to Mrs.<br />
frank Bolush. <strong>of</strong> Philadelphia,<br />
who remarks that a change to<br />
modern mume might incrp&M*<br />
the popularity <strong>of</strong> the concert"-<br />
It might please a few people,<br />
but as a regular attendant tn<br />
ihesp musicals, I can't possibly<br />
see how anything can incn asp<br />
their popularity: The<br />
auditiinum is packed in<br />
capacity every night with fiilk<br />
waiting fur the doors to open<br />
The excellent choice <strong>of</strong><br />
soloists and divers: fieri<br />
orchestral selections, as<br />
arranged by Mr Clarence<br />
Fuhrman. are the finpst in be<br />
obtained nywhere.<br />
I wonder how many people<br />
realize how very- fortunate we<br />
are in <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> to be<br />
privileged to have these<br />
musical,- absolutely free. No<br />
other seashore resort, to my<br />
knowledge, can claim this<br />
distinction. Huw ciimmendable<br />
it wcjuld be if more <strong>of</strong> our<br />
music lovers would express a<br />
word <strong>of</strong> grateful appreciation<br />
to our mayor i.nd city <strong>of</strong>ficials.<br />
I also beliew it adds to the<br />
economy <strong>of</strong> our city to have<br />
something lovely to attract<br />
Ihem to the boardwalk. Many<br />
<strong>of</strong> these people would stay at<br />
home because the sights on the<br />
boards are not exactly pleasing<br />
lo the eye,<br />
1 have heard no rumors<br />
concerning "doing away with<br />
the music" and certainly hope<br />
such are not true,<br />

<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
Editor, Sentinel Ledger: The<br />
SentinelLed|ier reports that a<br />
Rutgers University scientist has<br />
discovered that i» is<br />
"unrealistic" to harbor the<br />
notion that drinking and<br />
driving don't mix. All that's<br />
needed is an Alco-Cttlculator<br />
which informs the 190-pound<br />
boozer with lour martinis<br />
under his belt belt that he,<br />
rather than his 120-pound<br />
clear-eyed mate with only<br />
three under her girdle, should<br />
do the dnvmj!. Now, everyone<br />
knim> that martinis are more<br />
Ami'tican than apple pie hut<br />
what happens when the<br />
drunk I mean drinker, so<br />
has a craving for Imperial Hotel<br />
Fl?7.es or some equally<br />
heavenly concoction' An<br />
important and realistic<br />
question<br />
<strong>On</strong> the same day that article<br />
appeared I heard that the son<br />
<strong>of</strong> a friend o! mine Was Wailing<br />
in his car for i red light to<br />
Change at an intersection when<br />
a drunk plowed most<br />
realistically mtn his rear,<br />
ruining his car but, fortunately,<br />
not seriously injurine my<br />
friend's son I'm sure the drunk<br />
did not refer [o his<br />
Ale u'Calculator (price<br />
$1 95 plus tajt 11 ) because I<br />
presume they are not yet<br />
available throughout the<br />
nation. This acciden! occurred<br />
outside the state <strong>of</strong> New<br />
Jersey However, I do wonder,<br />
had he had his trusty calculator<br />
in pocket, if he would have<br />
been able to do the calculating.<br />
1 understand that alcohol, no<br />
matter what the amount<br />
consumed, has a tendency to<br />
deaden the reflexes inelujing<br />
his calculating ability and, only<br />
incidentally, his driving<br />
alertness: But I suppose that's<br />
old hat<br />
For some reason that Alco<br />
story reminds me that all<br />
aeeidenUi! fireiirm killings are<br />
caused by revolvers that aren't<br />
loaded. Wonder how many<br />
accidents are caused by<br />
drinkers who aren't drunk?<br />

COURTESY TAGS:<br />
Proposals before the<br />
Legislature to increase prices<br />
for special low numbered auto<br />
licenses would Increase State<br />
revenues considerably.<br />
A pending Assembly bill in<br />
the Legislature would permit<br />
the Director <strong>of</strong> Motor Vehicles<br />
to increase the fees for special<br />
motor vehicle registration<br />
plates and renewals. The<br />
permitted fee for new issuances<br />
would be increased from $10<br />
to SZB, The bill also requires<br />
an annual renewal fee <strong>of</strong> $10,<br />
The Division <strong>of</strong> Motor<br />
Vehicles estimates that if the<br />
increased new isiugnce fee is<br />
instituted, a net revenue to the<br />
State <strong>of</strong> $160,000 would<br />
result. Thn proposed renewal<br />
fee would produce net<br />
revenues to this State <strong>of</strong><br />
1840,000,<br />
Thereafter, the division<br />
projects o 5 percent annual<br />
increase In revenuei from both<br />
sources for a total net revenue<br />
<strong>of</strong> ,11,032,000 in fiscal<br />
1971-72 and (1,076,100 in<br />
fiscal year 1972-73.<br />
The Mtlmatei are made un<br />
the auumption that all<br />
regiltranu will continue<br />
utilizing courtesy plates.<br />
However, the division feels that<br />
actual experience may dlfido' o<br />
that 80 percent to 76 percent<br />
will not accept an annual fee.<br />
RUBELLA: • Countywide<br />
cl.nics to inoculate children<br />
against rubella, or German<br />
measles, will resume this<br />
month with initial programs<br />
Kheduled in Burlington and<br />
Essex counties. Later the<br />
programs will be carried out in<br />
other counties at no cost to<br />
patients or parent*.<br />
Technicians <strong>of</strong> tho State<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Health will<br />
continue to give the<br />
inoculations and will use<br />
hypo spray instead <strong>of</strong> needles.<br />
Approximately 78,000<br />
children were vaccinated<br />
against rubella at clinics held in<br />
the first ilx months <strong>of</strong> this<br />
year. Then the programs were<br />
held in Camden, Cape May,<br />
Cumberland, Gloucester,<br />

Mrs. David McOaffir<br />
Harleysville, Pa<br />
Editor, Sentinel-Ledger I<br />
have been taught that when the<br />
rights <strong>of</strong> the majority are<br />
abused by the minority, the<br />
rights <strong>of</strong> the innocent majority<br />
are restricted.<br />
The question now being<br />
asked is how do we protect the<br />
rights <strong>of</strong> the majority and still<br />
insure the rights <strong>of</strong> the)<br />
minority.<br />
For example: on Tuesday,<br />
August 26, four policemen<br />
removed, not forcibly, a group<br />
<strong>of</strong> young people who were<br />
singing from the 11th st.<br />
paviilion.<br />
Later in the evening, with<br />
my family, we went to the<br />
pavillion to rest aft«r making<br />
several purchases at boardwalk<br />
stores. We were refused<br />
entrance by a policeman who<br />
said there had bten a<br />
"disturb.jnee" earlier and the<br />
pavillion was not to bi) used.<br />
I am sure the police force<br />
thought it was doing its job in<br />
preventing another<br />
"disturbance", if you consider<br />
people singing a disturbance,<br />
but if <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> residents<br />
continue to permit such<br />
repressive actioni the South<br />
Jersey Shore will soon be a<br />
police state, Connie Bradley (17)<br />
Havertown, pa!<br />
Editor, Sentinel-Ledger: I<br />
have been a summer regldent <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> for the past 15<br />
years. These have been very<br />
pleasant and relaxing<br />
vacations . , . until last night<br />
(August 25),<br />
Accompanied by my<br />
mother, my children and an<br />
out<strong>of</strong>state guest, I suggested<br />
we relax at a pavillion on the<br />
boardwalk since wo had made<br />
many purchases in the shops!<br />
We were denied entrance by a<br />
policeman and forbidden to sit<br />
down.<br />
When I questioned him, he<br />
explained that "there had been<br />
a disturbance earlier in the<br />
evening". If he allowed us to<br />
enter, he would have to let<br />
"them" sit down too, "Them"<br />
happened to be three young<br />
people quietly sitting on tht<br />
boardwalk Watching the ocean,<br />
"Them " had long hair, •<br />
Jult how big a disturbance<br />
would "them" have made if<br />
they wore allowed to remain<br />
on the 'walk? By declaring th*<br />

not salving the "riot problem",'<br />

Feroe as well as all th p employees in his Public Works<br />
Department. Then he- thanked all <strong>of</strong> the peoplp in<br />
Sharp's department and turned the spotlight over to<br />
Public Safety Director Chester J Wimherg, who thanked<br />
Feroe, Simpson and Sharp iind all the men on the Police<br />
Department, Fire Department and Beach Patrol, With<br />
the commissioners still grinning like school boys who<br />
just cheated on a test, the camera panned to the<br />
how-tied Feroe, who said he would be back in a minute<br />
to add a few thank you's <strong>of</strong> his own, An announcer then<br />
read <strong>of</strong>f a list <strong>of</strong> 10 sponsors who, in addition to the<br />
<strong>City</strong>, financed the programs. Feroe reappeared to recite<br />
his list <strong>of</strong> thank you's. "I have tried to stay away from<br />
controversy," the director <strong>of</strong> Feme Enterprises said,<br />
"Our job was just to cover the special events <strong>of</strong> the<br />
city." Feroe then thanked Sharp and the Commissioners<br />
and former Commissioner R, Robinson Chance, Jr., who<br />
as Feroe said "took a chance with a young kid from<br />
Wilmington, Del., and Haverford College," Modestly<br />
Feroe added, "And 1 think his experiment has paid <strong>of</strong>f<br />
very well." Then to the tune <strong>of</strong> a marching band blaring<br />
out "S<strong>of</strong>tly, As 1 Leave You", a list <strong>of</strong> credits and more<br />
thank you's appeared on tht screen. The list read like<br />
"Who's Who" in <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong>. Anyone who wasn't<br />
mentioned just wasn't anybody. We really don't know if<br />
anyone will pick up where Feroe left <strong>of</strong>f with <strong>Ocean</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> television. All we know is that Ban Feroe will not<br />
be saying "<strong>On</strong>ce Again We Bring You" at the beginning<br />
<strong>of</strong> each show.<br />

MORE ON THE ELECTION - With the city<br />
commission still eight months away the field <strong>of</strong> possible<br />
and probable? candidates is continuing to grow. Several<br />
weeks ago we mentioned that incumbent commissioners<br />
Simpson and Sharp would more than likely be<br />
candidates for re-election. We also commented that<br />
former Mayor B. ThomaJ Waldman was another likely<br />
candidate. Former Commissioners D. Allen Streteh and<br />
Roy Gillian have also been mentioned as candidates.<br />
The list is longer now. Now we hew that fireman John<br />
Esposito, Chief <strong>of</strong> County Detectives George<br />
Dougherty, former parking authority head Joel Mott<br />
and Republican State Committeeman Fred Blank are<br />
interested in a chair at <strong>City</strong> Hall. Further rumor has it<br />
that shoujd Simpson deeride not te:> run Sharp will team<br />
up with Gillian and his present deputy Mayor, Richard<br />
G. Snyder. Other prominent Democrats in the running<br />
in addition to Stretch are Joseph DeFraneo and William<br />

NEW CAMERA • The editorial staff <strong>of</strong> this newspaper<br />
has a new Polaroid Land camera, model 350. It was<br />
purchased by the management to enable us to get last<br />
minute news pictures when we're working on a deadline,<br />
Polaroid shots can be easily reproduced for use in the<br />
paper. In fact several shots from the new camera have<br />
appeared in print already. The job <strong>of</strong> taking pictures has<br />
fallen upon us mainly because we are low man on the<br />
seniority totum pole. We confess we know little or<br />
nothing about photopaphy. The first Polaroid camera<br />
we got was less sophistocated than the new 350 model.<br />
There was too much room for human error and we<br />
made every one <strong>of</strong> them. Seeing wasted film and<br />
underexposed and overexposed picures piling up around<br />
our desk, the management decided maybe we could use<br />
a little less complicated camera. We apeed, and the new<br />
model does every thing except play the Minute Waltz<br />
while waiting for the picture to develop itself. There's<br />
just no way to make a mistake. If there were we would<br />
have found it by now. We have takerueight pictures with<br />
the new camera and each time exclaimed like the man '<br />
on television, "another perfect picture."<br />

SUPPORT YOUR POLICE . Though this department<br />
will <strong>of</strong>ten crack fun at some <strong>of</strong> the antics surrounding<br />
the local Police Department, we firmly believe they<br />
should have the respect and support <strong>of</strong> all citizens when<br />
they are legitimately trying to do their job. The recent<br />
killing <strong>of</strong> a park guard and injuries inflicted on four<br />
police <strong>of</strong>ficers in Philadelphia are regretable incidents.<br />
Police <strong>of</strong>ficers everywhere put their own lives on the<br />
line everyday when they walk into an apparently<br />
deserted house or stop a motorist on the highway. Who<br />
knows? A killer could be hiding in the house or a bank<br />
robber could be behind the wheel <strong>of</strong> the ear, '<br />
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Frank Rigzo isn't<br />
about to,stand by idly while his men are gunned down <<br />
in the streets, Rizzo says his men will fight if the pe<br />
doing this killing want to fight. We believt<br />
Commissioner will keep his word. <strong>On</strong>e thing is cert*.<br />
Rizzo will do whatever he must to see that his men art<br />
protected and not shot down in the streets .like<br />
animals,<br />

A PROPER BALANCE - Much has been madet<strong>of</strong><br />
police brutality jnd excessive force used by lawmen.<br />
"False arrest" is fast becoming as much <strong>of</strong> a household<br />
term as Spiro Agnew. AH too <strong>of</strong>ten the rights <strong>of</strong> police<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficers are sacrificed for the rights <strong>of</strong> those committtnf<br />
the crimes. A cop loses his life and everyone says whut a<br />
terrible thing it is, The polioe shoot up two or three<br />
people guarding an arsonal <strong>of</strong> weapons and all <strong>of</strong> a<br />
sudden its murder and cause-seeking attorneys flock to<br />
the aid <strong>of</strong> the victims, A proper application <strong>of</strong> the terms<br />
"right" and "wrong" would go a long toward solving<br />
this problem.<br />
