THURSDAY. APRIL 7. 1977<br />
A worthwhile cause<br />
Five years ago the Waldman ad-<br />
ministration with the help <strong>of</strong> various<br />
civic, groups, most notably the <strong>Ocean</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> BeacH and Bay Preservation<br />
Association, successfully thwarted the<br />
efforts <strong>of</strong> several developers to build<br />
high-rise apartment buildings in the<br />
resort.<br />
The passage <strong>of</strong> ordinance 1104 was<br />
hailed as a major step forward and the<br />
law controlling building height and<br />
population density was used as a<br />
model for several other communities.<br />
. Had <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> not taken such a<br />
strong stand against high rise permits<br />
would have been granted for a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> buildings ranging in size<br />
from 12 to 27 stories along the beach<br />
and bay The ordinance prevented this<br />
possibility and also eliminated the<br />
reality that many <strong>of</strong> those buildings<br />
would stand uncompleted like the<br />
<strong>Ocean</strong> Colony or largely unoccupied<br />
like 500 Bay.<br />
<strong>On</strong> the heels <strong>of</strong> ordinance 1104<br />
economic conditions changed<br />
drastically and as the recession set in<br />
the demand for high priced ocean and<br />
bayfront apartments almost disap-<br />
peared.<br />
Having won the battles as well as.the<br />
war in 1972, the OCBBPA is now trying<br />
to prevent •Ithe loss <strong>of</strong> valuable beach'<br />
areas to development in the form <strong>of</strong><br />
low-rise and low,-density town house or<br />
garden apartments, The Association is<br />
urging the <strong>City</strong> to either buy these<br />
behind the boardwalk beach areas or<br />
trade <strong>of</strong>f parcels <strong>of</strong> city land located<br />
elsewhere in the <strong>City</strong> for them.<br />
The primary areas under con-<br />
sideration for acquisition by the <strong>City</strong><br />
are located along E. Atlantic blvd. at<br />
the north end <strong>of</strong> the island, at Brighton<br />
pi. and the beach, and in the vicinity <strong>of</strong><br />
18th st.<br />
All areas are presently used as<br />
bathing beach by the public, even<br />
though they are privately owned. To<br />
permit construction on these sites<br />
would deprive the public <strong>of</strong> valuable<br />
bathing beach.<br />
We urge the OCBBPA to follow this<br />
second war against development to a<br />
successful conclusion keeping in mind<br />
that the taxpayers will have to foot the<br />
bill either through cash expenditures<br />
or in the loss <strong>of</strong> other valuable <strong>City</strong><br />
property.<br />
Something to build on<br />
The blue ribbon Sunday study<br />
commission has made recom-<br />
mendations to the city commissioners<br />
that the 60 year old Sunday blue law be<br />
changed somewhat. The report was<br />
presented in ordinance form to the<br />
governing body late last week.<br />
What the recommendations amount<br />
to is the slight liberalization <strong>of</strong>. or-<br />
dinance 947 which was adopted in 1963<br />
as a liberalized version <strong>of</strong> ordinance<br />
110. The proposed ordinance as written<br />
is an open invitation to continued coutu<br />
battles. W<br />
The recommendation that all food<br />
Items in small "ma and pa" stores<br />
may be sold, but supermarkets must<br />
remain closed may give the ap-<br />
mwiiT" >arl Twatnratwlng <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong>'s<br />
traditional tone," but it could easily<br />
lead to prolonged litigation. That is<br />
something the city hoped to avoid with<br />
a new law.<br />
The recommendation that privately<br />
owned miniature golf courses remain<br />
closed on Sunday while the city's par<br />
three course at 26th st. and Bay av.<br />
and all city operated tennis courts<br />
remain open but free <strong>of</strong> charge, has<br />
already evoked a challenge. Joseph<br />
Harris, the boardwalk miniature golf<br />
course owner, told reporters he will<br />
again take the city io court over the<br />
issue. \<br />
Other recommended \changes seem<br />
realistic. Amendments /permitting the<br />
sale <strong>of</strong> beach accessories, personal<br />
hygiene and laundry products,<br />
cameras, flashlights and paper<br />
products orfSunday seem reasonable.<br />
So does a provision to permit coin<br />
operated laundromats to remain open.<br />
The panel's recommendations<br />
should be regarded by the com-<br />
missioners as only that - a recom-<br />
mendation. The ultimate respon-<br />
sibility for changing the existing or-<br />
dinance rests with the governing body<br />
and that change must be ratified by a<br />
public vote.<br />
We urge the commissioners to build<br />
from the study panel's recom-<br />
mendations to create a fair and<br />
hopefully litigation pro<strong>of</strong> ordinance so<br />
in another 14 or 15 years another<br />
change won't be necessary.<br />
iThe Easter season<br />
\<br />
Easter, the principal ecclesiastical<br />
event <strong>of</strong> the year, gets its name from<br />
Eostre, a Teutonic goddess, whose<br />
festival was celebrated in the Spring.<br />
Her name was given to the Christian<br />
festival, as it was she, according to<br />
legend, who opened the portals <strong>of</strong><br />
Valhalla to receive (he White God and<br />
Sun God, representing purity and<br />
light.<br />
The Christian observance on Sunday<br />
is a symbol <strong>of</strong> the Resurrection, and<br />
Intertwined with many religious<br />
customs and observances, some<br />
dating back hundreds <strong>of</strong> years before<br />
the time <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />

Bureaucrats in Trenton are<br />
playing a game with people's<br />
livelihoods again and, while it<br />
may arnuse them, it is very<br />
disconcerting for South Jersey<br />
residents.<br />
Two weeks ago The Sentinel-<br />
Ledger published a story about<br />
a meeting between US Rep.<br />
William J. Hughes (D-2nd),<br />
representatives <strong>of</strong> the State<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Tran-<br />
sportation's Commuter<br />
Operating Agency, and ConRail<br />
in which "substantive<br />
agreements" were made to<br />
upgrade service on the<br />
beleaguered Pennsylvania-<br />
Reading Seashore <strong>Line</strong>. '<br />
Then on Friday it was<br />
reported that ConRail may be<br />
forced to shut down service on<br />
the line on June 1 if the State<br />
doesn't certify agreements to<br />
provide 10 percent <strong>of</strong> the fun-<br />
ding for the train during the<br />
next 15 months.<br />

with Easter because eggs were for-<br />
bidden to be eaten during Lent and on<br />
Easter Sunday they were traditionally<br />
served. The Easter egg, though, dates<br />
back to the Egyptians and Persians,<br />
and also the Greeks and Romans, who'<br />
ate eggs annually at Spring festivals.<br />
In any event, it is appropriate that<br />
Easter comes in the Spring, when the<br />
renewal <strong>of</strong> life is so apparent. Sunrise<br />
services in our churches, an ob-<br />
servance <strong>of</strong> recent origin in most<br />
churches, symbolizes the Resurrection<br />
at sunrise.<br />
This practice is observed in prac-<br />
tically all churches today as a symbol<br />
<strong>of</strong> hope, inspiration and faith.<br />
Editor, Sentinel-Ledger: In<br />
the Thursday, March 24, 1977<br />
issue <strong>of</strong> your paper, there was<br />
an announcement that. a bus<br />
would provide senior citizens a<br />
free ride to Starn's in Somers<br />
Point. The reason given for this<br />
free transportation was, and I<br />
quote, "the problem became<br />
particularly acute during the<br />
recent strike when all major<br />
supermarkets in <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
were closed."<br />
I take exception to this<br />
° statement. All major super-<br />
markets in <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> were not<br />
closed. The Thriftway Market<br />
at 4th and Asbury av. was open.<br />
Thriftway has played an im-<br />
portant part in our community<br />

With tongue in cheek<br />
Monsters usually have two heads<br />
There is a fatigued<br />
philosophical cliche about two<br />
Mads being better than one.<br />
This may be true where the<br />
two heads are. not antagonistic<br />
and where they are together in<br />
lituations where their ob-<br />
jectives are unalterably<br />
mutual. But when the two heads<br />
•IV political, the odds are that<br />
|h« mutual objectives are<br />
political .<br />
<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> voters, by a imall<br />
majority, have opted for a<br />

how well the cure will take<br />
Over the years, pooled ob-<br />
jectives were the order <strong>of</strong><br />
things by politically compatible<br />
commissioners in <strong>City</strong> Hall.<br />
Ever since the commission<br />
form <strong>of</strong> government was<br />
adopted here, the Republican<br />
triumverate at <strong>City</strong> Hall has<br />
been akin to a mutual ad-<br />
miration society Then a<br />
Democrat happened to be<br />
elected. The intrusion appeared<br />
to have no drastic effect <strong>of</strong> the<br />
political expedients The<br />
political pattern was com-<br />
fortable, compatible and<br />
reasonably effective in the<br />
administration <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>'s<br />
affairs.<br />
Normally, the pooling <strong>of</strong><br />
brain power is beneficial where<br />
mutual ends are the prime<br />
objectives. Unfortunately,<br />
among political peraonaUues it<br />
la difficult to assess in advance<br />
whether or not their individual<br />
ends comtlnitas Uw<br />

<strong>of</strong> what farm their<br />
forum takes.<br />
With the advent <strong>of</strong> a seven-<br />
member council, mayor and<br />
administrator government at<br />
<strong>City</strong> Hall, the odds on political<br />
and sectional personalities<br />
being at odds have been<br />
magnified. Where we had three<br />
heads nodding in mutual<br />
agreement, we could now have<br />
a potpourri <strong>of</strong> eight political<br />
personalities in conflict.<br />
Considering the complexion <strong>of</strong><br />
politics in <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> the past<br />
few years, this collision course<br />
is very much in prospect.<br />
To assume that, by simply<br />
changing the horsepower <strong>of</strong> the<br />
administrative vehicle at city<br />
hall i» going to make things run<br />
smoother and better is<br />
poUyannlah. What has hap-<br />
pened here, possibly, is a<br />
fragmentation <strong>of</strong> political<br />
elements that could be<br />
detrimental to the good <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Consider the probabilities.<br />

"Democrat" foreaa can be<br />

the council election. Add to<br />
these the normal appearance <strong>of</strong><br />
aspiring independents and<br />
downright malcontents after<br />
council seats, and, conceivably,<br />
we could have two dozen<br />
candidates on the ballot All<br />
factions cftuld score, leaving us<br />
with a contentious council in<br />
city hall.<br />
The mutual consent govern-<br />
ment <strong>of</strong> ticketed candidates<br />
which have administered the<br />
affairs <strong>of</strong> the city up until now<br />
at least promised some peace<br />
and quiet at 9th st. and Asbury<br />
av. Whether or not this corseted<br />
style <strong>of</strong> administration was<br />
good or bad is something that<br />
has to be left to history.<br />
With two or three political<br />
factions within a seven-<br />
member council In conflict, the<br />
result could be political<br />
mayhem. A pessimistic view,<br />
admitted. But wait and see.<br />
Given the health <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
politics in the past several<br />
years there seems to be llttla or<br />

people well. Its shelves were<br />

Editor's Note: The following<br />
letter was addressed to William<br />
H. Mclntyre, chairman <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> Planning Board,<br />
with the request that the letter<br />
be printed here.<br />
Mr. Mclntyre - as property<br />
owners at 831 Brighton pi. for<br />
eight years and <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
visitors for 26 years, we are<br />
very unhappy with the Town<br />
House proposal.<br />
The family vacation appeal,<br />
along with the - beach and<br />
bathing facilities, is what en-<br />
couraged us to strive to own our<br />
own home. We had planned to<br />
retire here next year but now<br />
we are wondering if we should<br />
not move elsewhere. Our own<br />
children from Nova Scotia,<br />
Syracuse and Washington feel<br />
they'll stay near their areas<br />
rather than coming to no-beach<br />
city.<br />
We know there are hundreds<br />
<strong>of</strong> families in the Brighton pi.<br />
area that object to the city<br />
losing control <strong>of</strong> the beach we<br />
all enjoy. And there are<br />
thousands in <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> who<br />
would preserve the beach.<br />
Please take a stand in sup-<br />
port <strong>of</strong> our plea and turn down<br />
the proposed town houses and<br />
save the beaches.<br />

About your editorial. March 3,<br />

Project*"<br />
In talking about the latest<br />
proposal to waste taxpayers'<br />
money, a golf driving range,<br />
you say that it "would be un-<br />
fortunate if the •*« *iving<br />
range met tbe tame fate at the<br />
A spokesman at Hughes'<br />
<strong>of</strong>fice said Transportation<br />
Commissioner Alan Sagner has<br />
tpld commuters not to worry<br />
over this new flap, and another<br />
source said it's just another<br />
case <strong>of</strong> bureacratic<br />
gamesmanship.<br />
For a reporter who has<br />
covered the PRSL-DOT<br />
debacles for the past 2'i years,<br />
these maneuvers in Trenton are<br />
easy to fathom without much<br />
concern.<br />
For the commuter whose<br />
livelihood depends on the PRSL<br />
transportation, however, it is<br />
another story.<br />
To the bureaucrats in<br />
Trenton, service on the PRSL<br />
may be a toy with which to gain<br />
political or personal triumph<br />
over fellow <strong>of</strong>fice mates, but to<br />
a commuter it is a primary<br />
means to feeding families.<br />
Part <strong>of</strong> the reason for Federal •<br />
funding <strong>of</strong> lines taken over by<br />
ConRail on April 1,1976, was to<br />
grant a period <strong>of</strong> grace in which<br />
the lines could be evaluated and<br />
riders could be lured to help<br />
make the lines self-sustaining.<br />
As with PRSL games <strong>of</strong> the<br />
past, the announcement by<br />
Hughes <strong>of</strong> impending im-<br />
provements was a step for-<br />
ward, but the scare by the DOT<br />
may lead to two backward<br />
steps.<br />
Several commuters told us<br />
over the weekend that they<br />
couldn't wait for a resolution to<br />
this new battle and would seek<br />
alternative means <strong>of</strong> tran-<br />
sportation to their jobs in<br />
Philadelphia.<br />
Last year, disgruntled<br />
commuters gave up their<br />
homes here and moved back to<br />
suburbs closer to Philadelphia.<br />
Rather than working toward<br />
positive advertising to attract<br />
commuters to the line, the<br />
DOT's games are proving to<br />
drive both current and potential<br />
users to other energy-wasting<br />
means <strong>of</strong> transportation.<br />
In an era when everyone is<br />
seeking means to conserve<br />
energy, playing games with a<br />
viable alternative to the<br />
automobile verges on the<br />
criminal.<br />
For those who like living and<br />
raising their families at the<br />
shore but must earn their living<br />
in Philadelphia, the PRSL is a<br />
practical way to do so.<br />
If this transportation were<br />
guaranteed and advertised,<br />
more people who live in and<br />
around Philadelphia and would<br />
like to move to South Jersey<br />
would realize they could to so,<br />
and more unemployed people<br />
here could seek employment<br />
without relocating.<br />
Before anyone in Trenton<br />
decides the residents <strong>of</strong> South<br />
Jersey can and will tolerate the<br />
occupation <strong>of</strong> Pomona by<br />
supersonic transports, it would<br />
be wise to guarantee a form <strong>of</strong><br />
UonSo<br />

Boggle<br />
really boggles<br />
the mind<br />
Parker Brokers company is giving us nightmares<br />
thanks to a little game .they developed called<br />
"Boggle." . .<br />
It all started Saturday night a week ago when we<br />
reluctantly agreed to sit in on a couple <strong>of</strong> games <strong>of</strong><br />
Boggle with members <strong>of</strong> our family. We did so rather<br />
than appear to be a poor sport in front <strong>of</strong> an im-<br />
pressionable niece and nephew.<br />
Boggle is an easy game to learn and we caught on<br />
quickly. The equipment involved includes a covered<br />
plastic board with 16 square holes, 16 plastic cubes<br />
with a letter on each side, a four minute egg timer,<br />
and a paper with easy to understand instructions.<br />
The participants are responsible for supplying •<br />
their own scratch pad and pencil. It is also recom-<br />
mended to have a standard American language<br />
dictionary close by.<br />
The game is played by spelling out as many words<br />
<strong>of</strong> three or more letters by looking at the randomly<br />
placed 16 cubes. <strong>On</strong>ly words formed from contiguous<br />
cubes are acceptable. We fared poorly in the first<br />
couple <strong>of</strong> rounds and at first the scoring seemed<br />
difficult.<br />
Points are obtained when the players take turns<br />
reading <strong>of</strong>f the words they have constructed. The<br />
player to the left <strong>of</strong> the person who mixed the cubes<br />
reads <strong>of</strong>f first. If anyone else playing has any <strong>of</strong> the<br />
words read <strong>of</strong>f all players cross the word <strong>of</strong>f their<br />
lists. The object is to be the only person with a par-<br />
ticular word. Each three or four letter word is worth<br />
one point. Five letter words are given an additional<br />
bonus point, six letters two additional points, and so<br />
on. If memory serves us, we came in third in a field <strong>of</strong><br />
six that first night. We have played every single night<br />
since then with friends, but only in the last few days<br />
did we realize that Boggle was affecting our mental<br />
health.<br />
We have become a Boggle addict, even to the point<br />
<strong>of</strong> playing the game alone. Playing with another<br />
. person the other day wereached a personal high <strong>of</strong> 20 .<br />
points, which also included some five and six letter<br />
words.<br />
We began to question our sanity when we got up in<br />
the morning and reached for the Boggle game.<br />
Inevitably the Boggle game was the last thing we'd<br />
see at night.<br />
By last Saturday we noticed we couldn't sleep and<br />
. would lie in bed spelling out three and four letter<br />
words hour on end..When we finally were able to<br />
drift into periods <strong>of</strong> fitful sleep we had nightmares <strong>of</strong><br />
being chased by a Boggle game and a whole bunch <strong>of</strong><br />
words..<br />
We have tried to quit, but to no avail. The situation<br />
is mind boggling. To make matters worse we have<br />
created a whole breed <strong>of</strong> Boggle addicts. We have one<br />
friend who went out and bought two games. He has<br />
his mother, wife, and two year old son hooked. This<br />
has become a problem <strong>of</strong> massive proportion for this<br />
family with three children. Meals are late, the house<br />
is a mess, and the laundry hasn't been done for a<br />
week.<br />
Last Saturday night a foursome <strong>of</strong> Boggle players<br />
was nearly reduced to fisticuffs over the spelling <strong>of</strong> a<br />
couple <strong>of</strong> words. The only thing that prevented<br />
trouble was the willingness <strong>of</strong> the players to let the<br />
dictionary settle the matter.<br />
We can envision Boggle breaking up marriages,<br />
making children wards <strong>of</strong> the state, and destroying<br />
life-long friendships. If we have any love for our<br />
fellow man we will smash every Boggle game in<br />
South Jersey. But that will have to wait - we just<br />
discovered another six letter word.<br />

Kielb for governor<br />
Of all the Republicans and Democrats running for<br />
Governor <strong>of</strong> New Jersey, we have finally found one<br />
we can support. Yes sir, we are going to come out for<br />
Franklin W. Kielb for Governor <strong>of</strong> the Garden State.<br />
We don't know if there's any connection, but we<br />
received a letter from Kielb announcing his can-<br />
didacy on April 1. Kielb says he is running as an<br />
Independent and, if elected, will serve without pay<br />
and without Morven (the Governor's mansion). He<br />
says he'll turn over Morven to be used as a half-way<br />
house for people to reorganize their lives. We were<br />
under the impression that's what it is being used for<br />
right now. • . ,. .<br />
Kielb will use his home in Reaville, called<br />
Touchstone, as the Governor's mansion. Kielb is<br />
opposed to oil refineries in New Jersey, and he is<br />
concerned that the Garden State has so few home<br />
gardens. During his administration New Jersey will<br />
have more home gardens than any place on earth.<br />
According to Kielb, New Jersey will have a new<br />
capital replacing Trenton. It will be in the center <strong>of</strong><br />
the State and will become THE manufacturing city <strong>of</strong><br />
the United States with industry flowing from New<br />
York and Philadelphia.<br />
Kielb supports the State building low cost housing<br />
and advocates putting the youthful unemployed to<br />
work building playgrounds and parks for the young<br />
and elderly. "Rapid transit will displace the evil<br />
motor car, the monster trucks," according to the<br />
candidate.<br />
Kielb says "material acquisition shall be sub-<br />
stituted by spiritual materialism." For. the Kielb<br />
campaign "no money will be solicited as none is<br />
needed. And for campaign headquarters Kielb fays<br />
