selected to stimulate discussion
and get things moving," Soifer
emphasized. "All local
John Trifari
businessmen are requested to
be on hand to present their
ideas."
The meeting will begin at the

Another important subject on
the agenda is the new senior
citizen discount vacation plans

promoted since late December
and already over 600
vacationers have been booked

With only a week to go to
candidate filing deadlines,
Cape May County Democratic
leaders this week announced, a
slate of freeholder hopefuls. '
' The three . candidates are
Dennis Township Mayor Frank
L. Murphy, Sr, 48; Rio Grande
resident. William Ackley, 27,
and Wildwood Crest resident
Louis "Chip" Goodkin, 42.
While the Cape May -County
Democratic Organization opted
not to formally endorse any
candidates, the Cape May
County Republican
Organization last "month endorsed
every candidate from
governor down to State Committee
people.
According to democratic
organization Chairman
Michael Marks, Murphy will be
challenging Republican Ralph
Evans for the seat being
vacated by current Republican
Freeholder William Wilsey.
Evans, a resident of Stone
Harbor, faced bitter opposition
for the GOP nod from Upper
Township Republican Committeeman
Milton Wood who
still has left observers with the
impression he may challenge
Evans in both the primary and
general election.
" Murphy, according to Marks,
is a decorated combat veteran
of Korea who spent four years
in the U.S. Army as a
paratrooper where he participated
in air drops behind
enemy lines.
Murphy and his wife, Betty,
have five children and five
grandchildren. He is manager
of Ocean View Plumbing

Lower Township and lives with
his wife Jeannette and their
daughter, Sony a, and son,
William, Iir.
Goodkin is running for a' oneyear,
unexpired term ori the
Board currently held by
Republican Gerald Thornton.
Thornton was appointed to
the Board last November when
Bernard A. Berk was forced to
resign after being convicted of
fraud in connection with his
Cape May_automobile agency.

Wildwood Crest JFK
Democratic Club and received
a masters degree in English

Dr. Robert J. Marshall, LCA
president, sent a letter which
was. read to all Lutheran
congregations on March 20. In
his letter he stated, "There
come times, when the church
must concentrate in a special
way on the source and strength
for mission, upon Christ's
salvation for us and for all
humanity.
"The Lutheran Church in
America has determined that
)977 and 197^ shall be such a
time. After four years that
began with proposals emerging
in a few places, continued
through discussion and
decisions at two conventions of
the church and involved,
careful exploration and
preparation. Strength For
Mission now calls for new
committment from all of us."
