County to get a college degree, or to upgrade skills for the changing , job market," Mrs. Hannah continued. She noted the college’s closeassociation with the county business and industrial committee. "As new skills are needed, Brookdale responds with appropriate courses and instruction." Sheillustrated this with the college’s automotive tech program and the changes required forc o m p u t e r i z a t i o n , accomplished with the assistance of General Motors.

Service to the community has been expanded into Asbury Park, Long Branch and the Bayshore where learning centers have been established for "easy access to credit and non­credit courses." A feasibility study is underway to create a learning center in the western part of the county.

Mrs. Hannah points out that Brookdale is an "open admission" college. "We are more concerned with exit skills than we are with entrance skills," she added.

There are two basic types of students transfer and occupational. Of the two-year degree­seeking transfer students, 75 percent go on to college for their B.A. or B.S. degree study. She credits the availability of quality courses and the ability of the facility for this achievenoept. "You would be impressed with thecredentials__^ of ourinstructor^*‘sFie adds.

As it begins its 21st year, Brookdale looks at its master plan to determine if projections are being accomplished. Mrs.Hannah feels they are and that the college is meeting the accredited standards. "We are preparing for a new Middle States Evaluation in 1989. The facility, the administration and the trustees are all aware of the challenge," she added.

Brookdale Community College operates with a $27 million annual budget of which the county funds 27 percent, 37 percent by the state, 28 percent from tuition and 8 percent from other sources.

The tuition charge is $38 a credit and the maximum is $460 a term or $920 for the study year. In comparison with other colleges, this is a "real bargain," trustees feel.

Betty Schneider, First Lady Mayor Is First, A Lady!

Neptune Twp, - "This has been a challenging year for administering municipal government in our township," Mayor Elizabeth (Betty) Schneider told The Times, as her year at the helm draws to a close.

"During the past 15 years, both Republican and Democraticadministrators have been in the leadership and have shared in the good and the bad."

Neptune Township’s first lady mayor then reviewed various accomplishments of the year, citing the purchase of three new garbage trucks to improve refuse collection, the rejection of a private contractor to collect refuse and the committment to purctrase three more trucks for the sanitation department.

She also praised the state-mandated recycling program that is underway here, including a schedule of household pick-up and the establishment of a recycling deposit center on Heck Ave., west of the public works garage.

A $200,000 road improvement program has been completed and an additional $1.2 million has been appropriated for more projects. "Almost every neighborhood is included, and we are beginning to make up for the past years when the roadjliaintenance program was^neglected," she added. These additional projects should be completed by mid-1988.

A new telephone system and improved air conditioning were installed in the municipal complex this year. At the same time, all asbestos was removed from the police wing and a new police radio system was installed. The aging fleet of police cars was up-dated with 7 new vehicles.

"The 1987 budget has been a difficult operation with the loss of federal revenue sharing and assistance funds for municipal purposes," she continued, noting that the township committee was able to keep the tax increase to 6.1 cents. "Many other municipalities in the Shore Area had increases of more than 30 cents."

Mayor Schneider noted that a new Senior Center is to be built on township- owned land at Rt. 33 and Neptune Boulevard with a $679,000 county grant. She also reviewed the $1.3 million Green Acres grant that will be applied for beachfront maintenance in Ocean Grove. Acommission is being formed to administer the funds.

She points out that the administration has had to make difficult decisions. "It has not always been easy," and she believes the Township Committee members are seeking what is best for Neptune, to make "our community a better place to live, work

and play."Municipal government

has been a challenge but not her only one - some of her constituents ring wedding bells, calling for Betty Schneider to officiate in her position as Mayor. And she has - at least 35 times this year.

Mayor Schneider has always been dedicated to public service and she gives of her time to perform these nuptial services and she never accepts any payment, gift or gratuity.

Elizabeth Sutts(Schneider) was born here to Hazel (Woolley) and Larry Sutts in their second floor home over his dairy business on Old Corlies Avenue. She was graduated fromSummerfield Elementary School and in 1949 from Neptune High School where, as a freshman.

she fell in love with Albert Schneider, a senior and 1946 graduate. They were in the same homeroom of the late Margery Felter, well-respected English nd Latin teacher for many years.

Betty and Al were married in November 1950 in Hamilton United Methodist Church, where both are still members. He has been with N.J. Bell Telephone Co. nearly 35 years and is currently Director of Management Position Analysis and Telephone Pioneers. They have two children -

Son Albert L., a 1973 graduate of Neptune H.S., is service manager for the BMW division of Circle Motors in Red Bank. He married Mary Beth Munn, daughter of Rita and

POUND FISHING off Bradley Beach was pounded into oblivion by the hurricanes and storms of the 1930’s and 1940’s. The nets and supporting poles couldn’t stand the severe weather.

Woolley’s wholesale and retail fishery on Newark Ave., Bradley Beach, hauled its boats up on the north beach after they returned from their nets offshore in deeper waters. Residents brought the fresh fish direct from the boat before the balance of the early morning catch was loaded in barrel-sacks and carted to the Newark Avenue ice house and store.

>

-A.

The fishermen, many of Scandinavian extraction, lived dormitory style above the Woolley plant. They fished most of the year, but during the depths of winter, nets and gear were repaired. Much of the ice for the ice house was cut from Fletcher Lake. These were the years when waters were cleaner and pollution was minor.

Pound fishing is gone, but memory lingers on!

SmokingSeminar

Neptune - If smoking is a concern and you have set your mind that you are going to quit it before it quits you, the BREATHE- FREE PLAN (revised Five Day Plan) can help. Having helped over 14 million smokers kick the habit since 1960, it has a proven track record.

Robert East, state-wide director of the program, says the original Five Day Plan used methods in keeping with attitudes at the time it was announced that smoking could be harmful to your health. A straight ahead approach was used through the use of films depicting live lung operations, etc. Today, he says, we are dealing with an entirely different type of smoker. In the past, people quit smoking because of the warnings; today, they are smoking in spite of them. Threats and scare methods are far less effective than in the past.

Since today’s smoker is a new breed, new methods are used. East notes. Strong emphasis is placed on self-worth and other value systems, such as consideration for family members and friends who, it has been proven, are affected by other’s smoking in their presence.

The next BREATHE- FREE PLAN will be held at the Community Center at 474 Shark River Road, Neptune, N.J. This is located just west of the parkway at exit 100. The plan begins on January 14. For additional information, call 201-922-1675. The program is a community service of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The cost for the session is only $25 or the amount the average smoker will spend in 18 days. There is no cost for attending the first session at which time the entire plan is presented and the individual decides if the plan is for him.

Tale Of Two ChristmasesFour Injured

On Christmas DaySanta and Police Visit Homeless

Neptune Twp.Neptune Township Police Chief Anthony J. Paduano announced this week that four police officers were injured Christmas Day on three separate incidents.

Patrolman Kenneth Whritenour answered a smoke and fire call at Anelve Ave. The officer, upon being notified that the building could be occupied, searched the dwelling. OfficerWhritenour fell through a floor and received injuries on both his legs.

Officers William Bailey and Steven Smith were both injured answering a call at 55 Embury Ave. in

Ocean Grove. Andrew Sweeney, age 26, was arrested and held on $10,000 bail for aggravated assault and resisting arrest. Officer Bailey received a human bite on his left arm along with scratches on his wrist and facial cuts and swelling, and Officer Smith was kicked in the groin.

Officer Louis Cuevas answered a call at the Coach House Restaurant on W. Bangs Ave., and received injuries to his left kneecap. Police arrested Michael Hussey of Long Branch, age 20, after he assaulted two people before he resisted arrest.

I’VE BEEN THINKING

I ’ve been thinking. I’ve been thinking. What a glorious world were this,

Did folks mind their business more,And mind their neighbors’ less!

For instance, you and I, my friend.Are sadly prone to talk

Of matters that concern us not.And other’s follies mock.

I've been thinking, if we’d begin To mind our own affairs.

That possibly our neighbors might Contrive to manage theirs.

We have faults enough at home to mend-

It may be so with others;It would seem strange if it were not,

Since all mankind are brothers.

Oh! would that we had charity For every man and woman;

Forgiveness is the mark of those Who "to err is human."

Then let us banish jealousy - Let’s lift our fallen brother;

And as we journey down life’s road. Do aood to one another.

Santa Claus (Nept. Patrolman THOMAS BRADY), Sgt. ALBERT MALLORY, Captain HOWARD O’NEIL and Neptune Police Chief ANTHONY L. PADUANO distributed over 160 presents to homeless children in the township. The presents were wrapped by senior citizens of Neptune Township. "The four of us got a big kick out of the children saying good-by’s and thank you’s to Santa Claus,” said one of the police.

New Jersey Ratification Day Celebrated in Gables School

Photo & Caption Page 1

December 18, 1787,New Jersey ratified the Constitution, becoming the third state in the United States of America. Facts surrounding the life and times, as well as an understanding of our Constitution, wereportrayed in an original play with music written and produced by Margaret Braun, 4th grade teacher of the Gifted and Talented.

It included musical vignettes highlighting the personalities of William Paterson, JonathanDayton, David Brearly and Governor WilliamLivingston. In addition, the Constitution was set to music and sung as part of the re-enactment of New Jersey’s ratification convention.

**Oed)t Union M embers - preferred > prices are available *

The musical finale "There’ll be no fight - no fuss" highlighted New Jersey’s unanimousacceptance of the Constitution, despite the fact that slavery and women’s rights were not addressed. A "vision into the future" displayed amendments that later corrected the slavery issue and voting for women.

Mrs. Braun was pleased to debut her play with such a talented group of young people. As chairman of the Bicentennial committee in Gables School, this culminated Gables focus on the 200th anniversary of our Constitution.

Students were prepared for understanding the play by a craft and project fair held during American

Mercy Center, affiliated

with the Sisters of Mercy, provides emergency service to those on welfare who are not able to make it through the month for various reasons. The largest of the center’s services is its food pantry, which provides non-perishable food to some 350 people per month.

During those years, Mercy Center has also expanded its services to include providing clothing and help in paying utility bills and other expenses for its clients.

"These funds from the state will assist the center in fulfilling its mission to provide shelter, clothing, food and counseling to homeless persons "The bill now heads to the

General Assembly for further action.

LE ITERS TO THE EDITOR

A ResponseEDITOR, TIMES:

Setting the Record Straight

For the past 12 years, Christians have been victimized by an unsubstantiated rumor about the Federal C o m m u n i c a t i o n s Commission. The latest example to come to my attention is the ad on page 9 of your December^ 10 edition.

Here are the facts from which that rumor grew. On December 6, 1974, two California broadcasters, Jeremy Lansman and Lorenzo Milam, petitioned the FCC to evaluate the purchase of educational TV stations by certain religious groups that seemed more interested in using those stations to raise money than to provide educational programming. The purpose of the petition was to determine if that practice was legal or not. At the FCC the clerk who received the petition gave it a number, RM-2493. Petition RM-2493 came before the FCC

commissioners in August 1975 and was denied on the technical grounds that the FCC lacked the authority to make such an evaluation.

That would have been the end of the matter were it not that a national organization ofconservative religious broadcasters, seeing a potential threat to the fund­raising activities of some members, circulated a letter in early 1975 advising their member-broadcasters to write to the FCC urging them not to act on RM- 2493. When, a few months later, the petition was denied, the campaign was called off; but, by that time, it had taken on a life of its own.

Concerned individuals, misunderstanding what was really going on, took up what they perceived to be a cause. Anonymous letters sprang up across America claiming that a million signatures were needed to convince the FCC to deny RM-2493. Somewhere along the way Madelyn Murray O’Hair’s name, often misspelled "O’Hare," replaced the names of Lansman and Milam as the

authors of the petition. Mrs. O’Hair was never a party to that petition. The petition’s concern was actually one that Christians could well have shared.

By 1980 the FCC had received more than 10 million letters asking them to deny Rm-2493, a petition which they had already denied 5 years earlier. In March 1980, then FCC Chairman Charles D. Ferris, wrote me: "We have received permission from the Bureau of Archives to throw away, unopened, any mail that refers, on the front of the envelope, to Rm- 2493. We have hired extra clerks just to weed these out and discard the carloads of such letters. The FCC needs your help. Please spread the word to your parishioners and friends that there is

no petition to ban religious broadcasting."

In that spirit, I am taking this opportunity to set the record straight.Sincerely,HERBERT F. LCWE, D.Min. PastorFirst United Methodist Church, Asbury Park

Response To Above

EDITOR, TIMES:Having received a letter

from the Federal C o m m u n i c a t i o n Commission confirming the information as written in the letter above from Reverend Lowe, I would like to thank again everyone who responded in the belief and hope of stopping anyone from

restricting our Christian rights. Had this been the crisis we believed, we surely would have won!

Apologies are extended to those who may feel they wasted their time or postage money in response to what has proved to be a "dead petition."

Sincerely,KATHLEEN ENGLANDCcean Grove

Thank YouEDITOR, TIMES:

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our friends and patrons for another successful year at the New Jersey Museum of Transportation/Pine Creek Railroad in Allaire State Park.

And, as always, our annual Christmas Express held on the first three weekends in December was a huge success. We hauled 4,452 passengers on these three weekends, and everyone had a great time and got a chance to talk to Santa Claus.

Once again, thank you to all our patrons and those who donated to our Museum. And above all, thank you to our volunteer members. Without these people, our railroad wouldn’t run.

The entire crew at the New Jersey Museum ofTransportation/Pine Creek Railroad wish everyone the best Holiday Wishes.

RetrospectK C t ir O e b c c t

By Richard F. Gibbon?

The Christmas-New Year break from school always presentedchallenges andopportunities.

Anyone who had received a new bicycle had no problem planning his or her day. ICE SKATES presented a problem, unless the weather had cooperated and the lakes were safely frozen.

Qf course, there was some school homework to be done - - usually some required reading. Parents saw to it that those things were taken care of.

New dolls, model trains and assorted indoor games brought happy hours.

Any kid who had received a new FQQTBALL or BASKETBALL would be found in one of the parks or at the improvised courts at the Pathway Pavilion and at the North End Pavilion. Endless games of basketball and football were waged from dawn to dusk. In the days before television and bowl games, kids made their own fun.

Like ice skating, sledding depended on the weather. A fair snowfall brought out sleds old and new.

Days which were fair and dry - - no matter how cold - - also brought out the hikers. These came in two varieties: 1) Those whohad bikes and chose to pedal westward to the sand hills and woods, and 2) Those who took the "ankle express."

After all, there had been nearly four months ofschool five days a week, and kids were ready to get in as much outdoor time as possible.

Pack a lunch, don warm clothes, and head for the woods which ringed the western areas of town, in those pre-subdivision days. Find a path and follow it, sometimes crossing a brook by way of a fallen tree. Spot a chipmunk or a tanager. Carve your imtials on a tree. Pick a flower. Sit and listen to the sounds of the forest.

A kid might not want to admit it, but the outing was part of the educational process. And all the skating, and sledding and hiking was an extension of the "physical education" class.

Along about Jan. 2 or 3 or so, it was time to return to the real world in the classroom.

Hymn Search(Harold La Penna, from

time to time, has been writing a series of articles for The Times on hymns and authors and their relationship to Ocean Grove).

In a recent issue of The Times under the caption "Down Memory Lane, Eighty Years Ago", quoting from the Aug. 10, 1907 news, reference was made to a production of the oratorio, "The Messiah", by the children, and to the presentation of a loving cup to Tali Esen Morgan for his musical talent.Investigation reveals that Professor Morgancontributed also to the hymnology of Ccean Grove.

The 1902 hymnbook, "Ccean Grove Songs", was published by the Ccean Grove Camp Meeting Association. Two years later, the songbook was revised by the same editors: Bishop J.N.Fitzgerald, president of the Camp Meeting Association; C.H. Yatman, leader of the

250 senior citizens from Neptune Twp. enjoyed their first annual luncheon held at Jumping Brook Golf Course. Special guests were Santa Claus and Dick Lewis of WJLK. The luncheon, which was held on December 22, was sponsored by the Neptune Twp. Senior Center. A good time was had by all.

Standing from left to right - MR. ART LUCEY, Neptune, Senior Director ROSEMARY McCANN, MR. and MRS. BEN HENDRICKS and TIM DOWNS of WJLK FM.

Young People's meetings, and Tali Esen Morgan, Ocean Grove musical director, and renamed "Ocean Grove Christian Songs", subtitled "The Big Little Book". The tunes to a number of the hymns in the collection were composed by Professor Morgan and identified by the words "Music by Morgan". The titles are "Under His Wings", "We Will Always Say Good Morning", "O Sing of His Wonderful Love", "Mercy’s Door Is Always Open", "That Holy City", "The Weeping Mother", "WhenWe Get Home", and "Hallelujah to His Name".

Professor Morgan had the later edition copyrighted and published it for the Camp Meeting Association. Both editions were indexed for inclusion in the soon to be published "Dictionary of American Hynology". The auther of the words for

all of Professor Morgan’s tunes was Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr., who never held a pastorate though he was ordained in the Methodist Episcopal Church. But he wrote sacred poems which were very appropriate for use as hymns. The musical settings for his poems were provided not only by Morgan, but by John R. Sweney, William J.Kirkpatrick, and Charles H. Gabriel, all in some way associated with Ocean Grove.

The dictionary tells us that Tali Esen was a Welsh bard of the 6th century, and that the expression means "bright brow". I have always admired Mr.Morgan’s handsome residence on Abbott Avenue in Ocean Grove.
