THURSDAY. APRIL 7. 1977 

A worthwhile cause 

Five years ago the Waldman ad- 

ministration with the help of various 

civic, groups, most notably the Ocean 

City BeacH and Bay Preservation 

Association, successfully thwarted the 

efforts of several developers to build 

high-rise apartment buildings in the 

resort. 

The passage of ordinance 1104 was 

hailed as a major step forward and the 

law controlling building height and 

population density was used as a 

model for several other communities. 

. Had Ocean City not taken such a 

strong stand against high rise permits 

would have been granted for a 

number of buildings ranging in size 

from 12 to 27 stories along the beach 

and bay The ordinance prevented this 

possibility and also eliminated the 

reality that many of those buildings 

would stand uncompleted like the 

Ocean Colony or largely unoccupied 

like 500 Bay. 

On the heels of ordinance 1104 

economic conditions changed 

drastically and as the recession set in 

the demand for high priced ocean and 

bayfront apartments almost disap- 

peared. 

Having won the battles as well as.the 

war in 1972, the OCBBPA is now trying 

to prevent •Ithe loss of valuable beach' 

areas to development in the form of 

low-rise and low,-density town house or 

garden apartments, The Association is 

urging the City to either buy these 

behind the boardwalk beach areas or 

trade off parcels of city land located 

elsewhere in the City for them. 

The primary areas under con- 

sideration for acquisition by the City 

are located along E. Atlantic blvd. at 

the north end of the island, at Brighton 

pi. and the beach, and in the vicinity of 

18th st. 

All areas are presently used as 

bathing beach by the public, even 

though they are privately owned. To 

permit construction on these sites 

would deprive the public of valuable 

bathing beach. 

We urge the OCBBPA to follow this 

second war against development to a 

successful conclusion keeping in mind 

that the taxpayers will have to foot the 

bill either through cash expenditures 

or in the loss of other valuable City 

property. 

Something to build on 

The blue ribbon Sunday study 

commission has made recom- 

mendations to the city commissioners 

that the 60 year old Sunday blue law be 

changed somewhat. The report was 

presented in ordinance form to the 

governing body late last week. 

What the recommendations amount 

to is the slight liberalization of. or- 

dinance 947 which was adopted in 1963 

as a liberalized version of ordinance 

110. The proposed ordinance as written 

is an open invitation to continued coutu 

battles. W 

The recommendation that all food 

Items in small "ma and pa" stores 

may be sold, but supermarkets must 

remain closed may give the ap- 

mwiiT" >arl Twatnratwlng Ocean City's 

traditional tone," but it could easily 

lead to prolonged litigation. That is 

something the city hoped to avoid with 

a new law. 

The recommendation that privately 

owned miniature golf courses remain 

closed on Sunday while the city's par 

three course at 26th st. and Bay av. 

and all city operated tennis courts 

remain open but free of charge, has 

already evoked a challenge. Joseph 

Harris, the boardwalk miniature golf 

course owner, told reporters he will 

again take the city io court over the 

issue. \ 

Other recommended \changes seem 

realistic. Amendments /permitting the 

sale of beach accessories, personal 

hygiene and laundry products, 

cameras, flashlights and paper 

products orfSunday seem reasonable. 

So does a provision to permit coin 

operated laundromats to remain open. 

The panel's recommendations 

should be regarded by the com- 

missioners as only that - a recom- 

mendation. The ultimate respon- 

sibility for changing the existing or- 

dinance rests with the governing body 

and that change must be ratified by a 

public vote. 

We urge the commissioners to build 

from the study panel's recom- 

mendations to create a fair and 

hopefully litigation proof ordinance so 

in another 14 or 15 years another 

change won't be necessary. 

iThe Easter season 

\ 

Easter, the principal ecclesiastical 

event of the year, gets its name from 

Eostre, a Teutonic goddess, whose 

festival was celebrated in the Spring. 

Her name was given to the Christian 

festival, as it was she, according to 

legend, who opened the portals of 

Valhalla to receive (he White God and 

Sun God, representing purity and 

light. 

The Christian observance on Sunday 

is a symbol of the Resurrection, and 

Intertwined with many religious 

customs and observances, some 

dating back hundreds of years before 

the time of Christ. 

The Easter egg became associated'

Bureaucrats in Trenton are 

playing a game with people's 

livelihoods again and, while it 

may arnuse them, it is very 

disconcerting for South Jersey 

residents. 

Two weeks ago The Sentinel- 

Ledger published a story about 

a meeting between US Rep. 

William J. Hughes (D-2nd), 

representatives of the State 

Department of Tran- 

sportation's Commuter 

Operating Agency, and ConRail 

in which "substantive 

agreements" were made to 

upgrade service on the 

beleaguered Pennsylvania- 

Reading Seashore Line. ' 

Then on Friday it was 

reported that ConRail may be 

forced to shut down service on 

the line on June 1 if the State 

doesn't certify agreements to 

provide 10 percent of the fun- 

ding for the train during the 

next 15 months.

with Easter because eggs were for- 

bidden to be eaten during Lent and on 

Easter Sunday they were traditionally 

served. The Easter egg, though, dates 

back to the Egyptians and Persians, 

and also the Greeks and Romans, who' 

ate eggs annually at Spring festivals. 

In any event, it is appropriate that 

Easter comes in the Spring, when the 

renewal of life is so apparent. Sunrise 

services in our churches, an ob- 

servance of recent origin in most 

churches, symbolizes the Resurrection 

at sunrise. 

This practice is observed in prac- 

tically all churches today as a symbol 

of hope, inspiration and faith. 

Editor, Sentinel-Ledger: In 

the Thursday, March 24, 1977 

issue of your paper, there was 

an announcement that. a bus 

would provide senior citizens a 

free ride to Starn's in Somers 

Point. The reason given for this 

free transportation was, and I 

quote, "the problem became 

particularly acute during the 

recent strike when all major 

supermarkets in Ocean City 

were closed." 

I take exception to this 

° statement. All major super- 

markets in Ocean City were not 

closed. The Thriftway Market 

at 4th and Asbury av. was open. 

Thriftway has played an im- 

portant part in our community 

for a long time and during the

mutual. But when the two heads

how well the cure will take 

Over the years, pooled ob- 

jectives were the order of 

things by politically compatible 

commissioners in City Hall. 

Ever since the commission 

form of government was 

adopted here, the Republican 

triumverate at City Hall has 

been akin to a mutual ad- 

miration society Then a 

Democrat happened to be 

elected. The intrusion appeared 

to have no drastic effect of the 

political expedients The 

political pattern was com- 

fortable, compatible and 

reasonably effective in the 

administration of the City's 

affairs. 

Normally, the pooling of 

brain power is beneficial where 

mutual ends are the prime 

objectives. Unfortunately, 

among political peraonaUues it 

la difficult to assess in advance 

whether or not their individual 

ends comtlnitas Uw

of what farm their 

forum takes. 

With the advent of a seven- 

member council, mayor and 

administrator government at 

City Hall, the odds on political 

and sectional personalities 

being at odds have been 

magnified. Where we had three 

heads nodding in mutual 

agreement, we could now have 

a potpourri of eight political 

personalities in conflict. 

Considering the complexion of 

politics in Ocean City the past 

few years, this collision course 

is very much in prospect. 

To assume that, by simply 

changing the horsepower of the 

administrative vehicle at city 

hall i» going to make things run 

smoother and better is 

poUyannlah. What has hap- 

pened here, possibly, is a 

fragmentation of political 

elements that could be 

detrimental to the good of the

the council election. Add to 

these the normal appearance of 

aspiring independents and 

downright malcontents after 

council seats, and, conceivably, 

we could have two dozen 

candidates on the ballot All 

factions cftuld score, leaving us 

with a contentious council in 

city hall. 

The mutual consent govern- 

ment of ticketed candidates 

which have administered the 

affairs of the city up until now 

at least promised some peace 

and quiet at 9th st. and Asbury 

av. Whether or not this corseted 

style of administration was 

good or bad is something that 

has to be left to history. 

With two or three political 

factions within a seven- 

member council In conflict, the 

result could be political 

mayhem. A pessimistic view, 

admitted. But wait and see. 

Given the health of Ocean City 

politics in the past several 

years there seems to be llttla or

people well. Its shelves were

Editor's Note: The following 

letter was addressed to William 

H. Mclntyre, chairman of the 

Ocean City Planning Board, 

with the request that the letter 

be printed here. 

Mr. Mclntyre - as property 

owners at 831 Brighton pi. for 

eight years and Ocean City 

visitors for 26 years, we are 

very unhappy with the Town 

House proposal. 

The family vacation appeal, 

along with the - beach and 

bathing facilities, is what en- 

couraged us to strive to own our 

own home. We had planned to 

retire here next year but now 

we are wondering if we should 

not move elsewhere. Our own 

children from Nova Scotia, 

Syracuse and Washington feel 

they'll stay near their areas 

rather than coming to no-beach 

city. 

We know there are hundreds 

of families in the Brighton pi. 

area that object to the city 

losing control of the beach we 

all enjoy. And there are 

thousands in Ocean City who 

would preserve the beach. 

Please take a stand in sup- 

port of our plea and turn down 

the proposed town houses and 

save the beaches.

Editor, Sentinel-Ledger: 

About your editorial. March 3, 

1*77. headed "Another Paper 

Project*" 

In talking about the latest 

proposal to waste taxpayers' 

money, a golf driving range, 

you say that it "would be un- 

fortunate if the •*« *iving 

range met tbe tame fate at the 

A spokesman at Hughes' 

office said Transportation 

Commissioner Alan Sagner has 

tpld commuters not to worry 

over this new flap, and another 

source said it's just another 

case of bureacratic 

gamesmanship. 

For a reporter who has 

covered the PRSL-DOT 

debacles for the past 2'i years, 

these maneuvers in Trenton are 

easy to fathom without much 

concern. 

For the commuter whose 

livelihood depends on the PRSL 

transportation, however, it is 

another story. 

To the bureaucrats in 

Trenton, service on the PRSL 

may be a toy with which to gain 

political or personal triumph 

over fellow office mates, but to 

a commuter it is a primary 

means to feeding families. 

Part of the reason for Federal • 

funding of lines taken over by 

ConRail on April 1,1976, was to 

grant a period of grace in which 

the lines could be evaluated and 

riders could be lured to help 

make the lines self-sustaining. 

As with PRSL games of the 

past, the announcement by 

Hughes of impending im- 

provements was a step for- 

ward, but the scare by the DOT 

may lead to two backward 

steps. 

Several commuters told us 

over the weekend that they 

couldn't wait for a resolution to 

this new battle and would seek 

alternative means of tran- 

sportation to their jobs in 

Philadelphia. 

Last year, disgruntled 

commuters gave up their 

homes here and moved back to 

suburbs closer to Philadelphia. 

Rather than working toward 

positive advertising to attract 

commuters to the line, the 

DOT's games are proving to 

drive both current and potential 

users to other energy-wasting 

means of transportation. 

In an era when everyone is 

seeking means to conserve 

energy, playing games with a 

viable alternative to the 

automobile verges on the 

criminal. 

For those who like living and 

raising their families at the 

shore but must earn their living 

in Philadelphia, the PRSL is a 

practical way to do so. 

If this transportation were 

guaranteed and advertised, 

more people who live in and 

around Philadelphia and would 

like to move to South Jersey 

would realize they could to so, 

and more unemployed people 

here could seek employment 

without relocating. 

Before anyone in Trenton 

decides the residents of South 

Jersey can and will tolerate the 

occupation of Pomona by 

supersonic transports, it would 

be wise to guarantee a form of 

UonSo 

Ocean 

Boggle 

really boggles 

the mind 

Parker Brokers company is giving us nightmares 

thanks to a little game .they developed called 

"Boggle." . . 

It all started Saturday night a week ago when we 

reluctantly agreed to sit in on a couple of games of 

Boggle with members of our family. We did so rather 

than appear to be a poor sport in front of an im- 

pressionable niece and nephew. 

Boggle is an easy game to learn and we caught on 

quickly. The equipment involved includes a covered 

plastic board with 16 square holes, 16 plastic cubes 

with a letter on each side, a four minute egg timer, 

and a paper with easy to understand instructions. 

The participants are responsible for supplying • 

their own scratch pad and pencil. It is also recom- 

mended to have a standard American language 

dictionary close by. 

The game is played by spelling out as many words 

of three or more letters by looking at the randomly 

placed 16 cubes. Only words formed from contiguous 

cubes are acceptable. We fared poorly in the first 

couple of rounds and at first the scoring seemed 

difficult. 

Points are obtained when the players take turns 

reading off the words they have constructed. The 

player to the left of the person who mixed the cubes 

reads off first. If anyone else playing has any of the 

words read off all players cross the word off their 

lists. The object is to be the only person with a par- 

ticular word. Each three or four letter word is worth 

one point. Five letter words are given an additional 

bonus point, six letters two additional points, and so 

on. If memory serves us, we came in third in a field of 

six that first night. We have played every single night 

since then with friends, but only in the last few days 

did we realize that Boggle was affecting our mental 

health. 

We have become a Boggle addict, even to the point 

of playing the game alone. Playing with another 

. person the other day wereached a personal high of 20 . 

points, which also included some five and six letter 

words. 

We began to question our sanity when we got up in 

the morning and reached for the Boggle game. 

Inevitably the Boggle game was the last thing we'd 

see at night. 

By last Saturday we noticed we couldn't sleep and 

. would lie in bed spelling out three and four letter 

words hour on end..When we finally were able to 

drift into periods of fitful sleep we had nightmares of 

being chased by a Boggle game and a whole bunch of 

words.. 

We have tried to quit, but to no avail. The situation 

is mind boggling. To make matters worse we have 

created a whole breed of Boggle addicts. We have one 

friend who went out and bought two games. He has 

his mother, wife, and two year old son hooked. This 

has become a problem of massive proportion for this 

family with three children. Meals are late, the house 

is a mess, and the laundry hasn't been done for a 

week. 

Last Saturday night a foursome of Boggle players 

was nearly reduced to fisticuffs over the spelling of a 

couple of words. The only thing that prevented 

trouble was the willingness of the players to let the 

dictionary settle the matter. 

We can envision Boggle breaking up marriages, 

making children wards of the state, and destroying 

life-long friendships. If we have any love for our 

fellow man we will smash every Boggle game in 

South Jersey. But that will have to wait - we just 

discovered another six letter word.

Kielb for governor 

Of all the Republicans and Democrats running for 

Governor of New Jersey, we have finally found one 

we can support. Yes sir, we are going to come out for 

Franklin W. Kielb for Governor of the Garden State. 

We don't know if there's any connection, but we 

received a letter from Kielb announcing his can- 

didacy on April 1. Kielb says he is running as an 

Independent and, if elected, will serve without pay 

and without Morven (the Governor's mansion). He 

says he'll turn over Morven to be used as a half-way 

house for people to reorganize their lives. We were 

under the impression that's what it is being used for 

right now. • . ,. . 

Kielb will use his home in Reaville, called 

Touchstone, as the Governor's mansion. Kielb is 

opposed to oil refineries in New Jersey, and he is 

concerned that the Garden State has so few home 

gardens. During his administration New Jersey will 

have more home gardens than any place on earth. 

According to Kielb, New Jersey will have a new 

capital replacing Trenton. It will be in the center of 

the State and will become THE manufacturing city of 

the United States with industry flowing from New 

York and Philadelphia. 

Kielb supports the State building low cost housing 

and advocates putting the youthful unemployed to 

work building playgrounds and parks for the young 

and elderly. "Rapid transit will displace the evil 

motor car, the monster trucks," according to the 

candidate. 

Kielb says "material acquisition shall be sub- 

stituted by spiritual materialism." For. the Kielb 

campaign "no money will be solicited as none is 

needed. And for campaign headquarters Kielb fays 

hell go underground and use every empty ajr raid
