Caution — Schoo/'s in<br />

It was back to school this week for<br />

children <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> and most <strong>of</strong> the<br />

surrounding area, and motorists are<br />

reminded that once again children in<br />

numbers add to the traffic situation<br />

Motorists in <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> have a<br />

splendid record <strong>of</strong> traffic safety in<br />

regards to school buses and bieyelinp<br />

children. News reports daily earn'<br />

accounts hi accidents involving children<br />

to and from school. Over the years,<br />

<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> has been relatively free <strong>of</strong><br />

such mishaps, and are encouTiged to<br />

continue this record.<br />

All motorists are aware <strong>of</strong> the existing<br />

law concerning school buses. When a<br />

school bus stops to discharge or pick up<br />

Students, and traffic in its vicinity must<br />

come to a full stop.<br />

Many youngsters ride their bicycles to<br />

and from school. This adds to the traffic<br />

conditions early in the morning and in<br />

the |a!c afternoon Motorists should be<br />

tin the lookout for these young i•yclists<br />

Another danger point is street<br />

crossings in the vicinity <strong>of</strong> school<br />

buildings Special police <strong>of</strong>ficers are<br />

assigned as crossing guards, but drivers<br />

can add to the safely situation by driving<br />

carefully when passing through such<br />

areas<br />

Youngsters on foot or on bicycles are<br />

unpredictable in their movement. They<br />

are inclined to run and dart<br />

unexpectedly in almost any direction.<br />

Motorists are required to have full<br />

control <strong>of</strong> their vehicles to meet such<br />

unexpected situ at ions.<br />

We love our children. We don't want<br />

any <strong>of</strong> them injured. So, motorist,<br />

remember school is in session and the<br />

time is at hand when careful driving<br />

becomes more urgent.<br />

Direct election has barbs, too<br />

Proposals for change in the method <strong>of</strong><br />

electing a man to fill the highest <strong>of</strong>fice in<br />

the land is coming under closer scrutiny,<br />

and faults <strong>of</strong> the ElectoriaJ College are<br />

appearing less awesome. Numerous<br />

students <strong>of</strong> government and law are<br />

finding highly specious the merits <strong>of</strong><br />

direct election <strong>of</strong> a President as provided<br />

in the Bayh amendment now before<br />

Congress,<br />

These students find that direct<br />

election <strong>of</strong> a President could lead to<br />

numerous splinter parties and weaken<br />

the two-party system which has given<br />

stability to this Republic and its<br />

constitutional government since its<br />

founding.<br />

Direct election <strong>of</strong> a President could<br />

create massive problems <strong>of</strong> recounting<br />

close elections, the students say,<br />

problems that might prove disasterous to<br />

the elective process.<br />

In contrast to the Klectonal College<br />

system, under which vote counting<br />

disputes are limited to individual states,<br />

direct national election <strong>of</strong> a President<br />

could open a Pandora's Box <strong>of</strong> probable<br />

abuses that chill legal scholars and other<br />

students <strong>of</strong> this issue<br />

To enforce honest vote-counting in all<br />

the 170,000 precincts <strong>of</strong> the nation,<br />

national policing would become a<br />

necessity. Also, uniform federal laws on<br />

voter qualifications would be needed.<br />

The centralization would breach all<br />

American traditions.<br />

The more one studies the alternatives<br />

to the Electoriai College system, the<br />

more appreciation he develops for the<br />

wisdom <strong>of</strong> our forefathers in this<br />

country. There are many pitfalls in the<br />

path <strong>of</strong> liberty and self-government. The<br />

direct election <strong>of</strong> the President just<br />

might be one <strong>of</strong> them.<br />

Editor, Sentinel-Ledger As<br />

a member oT the 19 year old<br />

votinir coalition, I was very<br />

•pleased to rend that you<br />

support the lowering <strong>of</strong> the<br />

voting age. Youny people have<br />

asked for this privilege arid it is<br />

heartening to know that some<br />

people feel we are capable <strong>of</strong><br />

handling such a responsibility.<br />

Allowing young people to vote<br />

will not result m n radical<br />

change in the voting patterns as<br />

many people believe. The main<br />

reason for this is because the<br />

battle to allow young people to<br />

vote is receiving bipartisan<br />

support.<br />

Technological advances in<br />

the past 1 0 years bring news to<br />

the people more quicily and<br />

clearly than ever before. As a<br />

result young people today are<br />

very well informed til" national<br />

and world wide events.<br />

Campus unrest has caused<br />

some people to feel that the<br />

voting age should not be<br />

lowered But what these people<br />

don't realize is that campus<br />

unrest is the result <strong>of</strong><br />

frustration If young people<br />

were permitted to express their<br />

opinion in a voting booth<br />

much <strong>of</strong> the campus unrest<br />

would be done away with. If<br />

young people were given the<br />

opportunity to vote and help<br />

elect the leaders <strong>of</strong> their<br />

country, they would have to<br />

answer to themselves. Mistakes<br />

<strong>of</strong> national leaders would not<br />

be blamed on the older<br />

generations, as' a result, there<br />

would be less polarization<br />

between the young and the<br />

old We are a changing world<br />

and we must change with it.<br />

Young people today are ready,<br />

willing, and able to accept the<br />

responsibility that goes with<br />

the privilege <strong>of</strong> voting.<br />

Garden State . , ,<br />

Governorship Although the<br />

nexl Governorship election is<br />

three years away. State<br />

Democratic leaders are<br />

promoting another term for<br />

former Governor Richard J<br />

Hughes to bolster up the<br />

party's hopes for a successful,<br />

future.<br />

Hughes, who is considered a<br />

master politician, could not<br />

seek re-election last year<br />

because <strong>of</strong> the Constitutional<br />

embargo against governors<br />

seeking a third successive term.<br />

However, former Governors<br />

may skip a term and then seek<br />

re-election.<br />

The political strategy<br />

designers feel that in three<br />

years the people <strong>of</strong> New Jersey<br />

will be in the right mood to<br />

eject a Democrat to the<br />

Governorship, especially if the<br />

present Republican<br />

administration fails to follow<br />

the popular trail<br />

At the State House, State<br />

workers watching the influx <strong>of</strong><br />

newcomers in State service at<br />

high paying jobs, figure that<br />

Hughes would be an easy<br />

victor, if the practice<br />

continues. These newqomers<br />

are shoved into supervisory<br />

positions over employees who<br />

have advanced up through the<br />

ranks through participating in<br />

competitive civil service<br />

examinatSong, The newcomers<br />

•ecure their position* without<br />

examination.<br />

During hit six years in the<br />

executive chair, Governor<br />

Hughes got along with Stnte<br />

<strong>of</strong>ficials and Stnte workers.<br />

However, Governor William T.<br />

Cahill, g Republican, mint find<br />

jobi for his party workers In<br />

answer to demand) <strong>of</strong><br />

Republican county chairmen.<br />

For IB years the Democrats<br />

held full control <strong>of</strong> the State<br />

Government and there was a<br />

dearth <strong>of</strong> Republican <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

holders. Now the Republicans<br />

are at bat and must win the<br />

patronage game<br />

STATE FAIR <strong>On</strong>e<br />

hundred original paintings<br />

done, by patients <strong>of</strong> New<br />

The art will be on display fit<br />

the State Building on the<br />

fairgrounds and will be judged<br />

by a panel appointed by the<br />

New Jersey State Council on<br />

Arts, directed by Byron Kelly,<br />

None <strong>of</strong> the paintings will be<br />

CRANBERRIES: - There<br />

will be plenty oT cranberries<br />

this year for the Thanksgiving<br />

and Christmas feasts.<br />

Cranberries grow only in<br />

Now Jersey, Massachusetts,<br />

Wisconsin, Washington, and<br />

Oregon and the supply this<br />

year is up three percent over<br />

!a«t year.<br />

In New Jersey a crop <strong>of</strong><br />

188,000 barrels i« djjpected, IB<br />

percent above last season and<br />

20 percent above 1B§8,<br />

according to the New Jersey<br />

Crop Reporting iervlee. This<br />

yetr's crop is the largest since<br />

1926. The spring was<br />

practically frost free and<br />

bloom was heavy.<br />

Most cranberry growers<br />

report about an average set.<br />

Rainfall wu abundant early in<br />

the growing season but<br />

conditions were dry in<br />

mid-August. Insect and dlieaie<br />

damage has been very light to<br />

date. Water supplies for<br />

flooding are more than<br />

adequate, Sijes are described as<br />

medium.<br />

With the exception <strong>of</strong><br />

Wisconsin, all other cranberry<br />

growing states have a larger<br />

crop than last year. Dry<br />

weather is the threat to berry<br />

size in Wisconsin bogs without<br />

irrigation systems.<br />

Assuring adequate ennberry<br />

sauce for Thanksgiving and<br />

Christas holidays, the U.S.<br />

cranberry crop is forteajt at<br />

1,9 million barrels. The<br />

nations'! forecast is up 3<br />

percent over last year and 28<br />

percent above the 1B8S crop.<br />

The amaller crop prospects in<br />

Wisconsin are more thin <strong>of</strong>fset<br />

by larger crops expected in the<br />

four other states.<br />

This mock efassifiod ad appeared in the Kepti'rnbi'r 1,<br />

edition <strong>of</strong> the "Conservation News", a wi'i'kly<br />

publication written in Washington, DC by the National<br />

Wildlifr Federation. Though an advocate <strong>of</strong> (•lean air<br />

and I'li'on water (after a fashion) we always felt it was<br />

someone elsos problem. An article in this publication on<br />

"<strong>Ocean</strong> Dumping" changed our mind. The article states<br />

that last winter it was discnvererl thai the ncean <strong>of</strong>f New<br />

York harbor, where the city had been dumping its<br />

sludge, was dead. Dead Not dyinK; dead. Scientists<br />

studying the content <strong>of</strong> bottom sediment in the jireii<br />

were horrified. A bottom sample from one sUiiiun<br />

included cellulose cigarette filter tips, hand aids and<br />

aluminum foil. The same items have been found in the<br />

stomachs <strong>of</strong> fish. Oxygen in the water in the dumping<br />

area was found to be les."! than one part per million, A<br />

concentration <strong>of</strong> 2.S ppm is usually considered essential<br />

for marine life. In fact, nothing live was found, the<br />

article states. These results were recorded jit station 59<br />

in the dumping area in the open ocean ten miles south<br />

<strong>of</strong> Roekaway Inlet., nine miles due enst nf Sandy llnnk.<br />

approximately SO miles north <strong>of</strong> here<br />

A LOCAL PROBLEM - Most people in this area hurl<br />

unkind epithets at the Atlantic <strong>City</strong> Electric Company.<br />

whose generating plant at Beesley's Point spews smoke<br />

from its stacks into the dear skies <strong>of</strong> Cape May County<br />

The black smoky haze from the plant can be seen miles<br />

at sea. While we are quirk to condemn Atlantic <strong>City</strong><br />

Electric for polluting the air many <strong>of</strong> us are doing our<br />

part to litter highways and pollute back bays and<br />

marshland. Some <strong>of</strong> those who puhlically claim the<br />

city's dredge is ruining the ecology <strong>of</strong> the hack bays,<br />

dump enough trash into the water on an avpragp fishing<br />

trip to do more damage than the dredge does in a week<br />

MORE ON HARVEY - Several weeks ago we<br />

mentioned n young cat named Harvey that we became<br />

exposed to hy a quirk <strong>of</strong> fate. We reported that<br />

"Haj-vey" was an un-catlike name for even a<br />

six-week-old kitten. We failed at our efforts to have the<br />

animal's name changed to something more reasonable.<br />

Personally we favored "Clarence", Anyway, we saw<br />

Harvey again the other day and were amazed at how he<br />

has grown, Harvey is going to be a big cat and when he<br />

is fully grown we don't want to argue with him about<br />

his name. It never occurred to us while Harvey was<br />

basking in his kittenhood that someday he might<br />

become a tiger, panther, or cougar. Come to think <strong>of</strong> it,<br />

Harvey's not such a had name for a cat.<br />

PLAN AHEAD . We attended a birthday party for<br />

our Mother last weekend along with other members <strong>of</strong><br />

the family Incli ding our sister and brother-in-law, A<br />

cake was provided upon which five candies were placed.<br />

Don't get us wrong, our mother is more than five years<br />

old. Much more, However, due to the size <strong>of</strong> the cake<br />

and the fact that a Labor Day weekend heat wave<br />

caused the icing to melt, it was decided the lesser<br />

number <strong>of</strong> candles would suffice. Then it happened. Our<br />

sister went to light the candles and not a match was to<br />

be found anywhere. That's right, five adults couldn't<br />

even come up with two sticks to rub together. Imagine<br />

if a power failure occurred or a hurricane hit and<br />

knocked down power lines. We would be in the dark<br />

with about four dozen candles and no way to light<br />

them. Finally we took a candle and tried to light it on<br />

the stove. That didn't work. We tried using car cigarette<br />

lighters, but without success. Finally we went to a<br />

neighbor and borrowed matches. Our family had<br />

flunked the most basic scouting rule - Be Prepared.<br />

RUMORS - Last Sunday morning a privately owned<br />

dredge which had been used to fill meadowlands for the<br />

<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> Homes development, caught fire and<br />

aroused a great deal <strong>of</strong> curiosity as it burned in Middle<br />

Thor<strong>of</strong>are near Corson's Inlet, We heard <strong>of</strong> the blaze<br />

first hand from Fire Chief Ferdinand Taccarino.<br />

However, by the time the story got to some other<br />

people it was the city's dredge "Sandpiper" that was on<br />

fire and going to her watery grave. Those that did have<br />

the right dredge heard the bridge to Strathmere was on<br />

fire also. When additional firemen were called in word<br />

spread that everything south <strong>of</strong> 34th st, was involved in<br />

a giant conflagration. We know <strong>of</strong> at least four people<br />

who went to 14th st. to see the "Sandpiper" bum. The<br />

dredge that was on fire was not the dredge originally<br />

planned to do the pumping in that area. Earlier this year<br />

a brand new $1 million dredge sank in heavy seas <strong>of</strong>f<br />

Atlantic <strong>City</strong> in route to 55th st. It is still sitting on the<br />

ocean floor. Word filtered out somehow that a dredge<br />

sank and the words <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> became associated with '<br />

it. About the same time the "Sandpiper" was being<br />

"road tested" in Great Egg Harbor bay just prior to<br />

going into service pumping sand on the city's beaches.<br />

The rumor finally reached city hall that the new <strong>Ocean</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong> dredge had sunk; riot that a new dredge sunk on its<br />

way to <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong>, <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficials raced to Pitcairn<br />

Harbor to see if the Sandpiper really was on bottom.<br />

<strong>City</strong> Treasurer Anthony E, Imbesi had to be treated<br />

with smelling salts when he realized a half million<br />

dollars <strong>of</strong> city money might be sitting in the mud.<br />

SEASONAL SOARING SEA GULL - We are faced<br />

with the nearly Impossible task <strong>of</strong> trying to decide who<br />

to give the Seasonal Soaring Sea Gull Award. This<br />

"flying sack <strong>of</strong> feathers" belongs to the person or '<br />

persons who did the most unusual or zany thing this<br />

summer. There are a good many candidates to choose<br />

from and we really can't make up our mind just who is<br />

the most deserving person. Should it be given to the<br />

little old lady from First at. who drove her nephew's<br />

motorcycle through her neighbor's fence? Or should go<br />

to the high city <strong>of</strong>ficial who conceived the "waving<br />

wing" city ordinance 1071 which prohibits people in<br />

unusual garb from gathering in poups <strong>of</strong> six or more?<br />

Or, how about Cemmlsiionir David L. Simpson foa<br />

threatening to punch one <strong>of</strong> the city painters in the<br />

teeth in a city hall men's room? Police Chief Benjamin<br />

L. Dungan has nominated for the "brilliant" quotes he<br />

gives the news media on matters <strong>of</strong> importance. And<br />

there are many others who must be considered for the<br />

title. So we will hold <strong>of</strong>f giving the award, and devote<br />

the next few weeks to further thought. Any additional<br />

sugpstions will be welcome. »<br />
