Stephen Animal Shelter to Open Hit By Nesmith Housing 1 Aide Named Maestro own but are faced with animal problems. Two-Fold Interest "We are interested in kindness, not only to animals, but to people for people. We believe that if the public is educated and made aware of the domestic and wildlife around us, that much can be accomplished in other directions as well." One of the special features of the new endeavor is the use being made of the 10 acre tract purchased by the group. The acres surrounding the shelter will serve as a wildlife refuge with nature trails open to the public. These trails will be developed by the Audubon Wildlife Society On Wheels within the shelter for children, teachers or other adults to meet for planned programs by noted lecturers on domestic animal, wildlife and related subjects.

The library will consist of fiction and non-fiction related to animals, nature and similar subjects for all age levels. Classes from schools throughout the area of South Jerspy will be welcome upon a program of days and times to be set up, Mrs. Clausing said. The animal shelter itself will lx open on a 24 hour, seven day-a-weck basis for all emergencies with specific hours for accepting animals on a non-emergency basis. Adoptions will also be arranged from the slid-ter.

Date of occupancy for the animals will be announced following the opening on Saturday. Cahill to Speak Guest speaker for dedication on Saturday will be the Honorable William T. Cahill with Mayor Barnaby McAuslan of Voorhees Township cutting the ribbon. Other guests will include, besides officials of all Camden County municipalities, Jacques Sachel, president of the New Jerspy Branch of the Humane Society of the United Statps with which the Animal Welfare is affiliated; Dr. Marvin Roth-man, director-veterinarian of the local society; Honorable Frederick J.

Scholz, N.J. senator; Peter Del Grande and E. Stevenson Fluharty, Camden County Freeholders. The public is invited to the dedication and the day-long open house for inspection of the shelter and grounds. Courier-Post Photo by Gary L.

Sluve OCCUPYING a section of a 10-acre tract of wooded land is the new animal shelter of the Animal Welfare Association of Camden County. It is the culmination of a 10-year dream of the society and its 3,500 membership. who also will prepare a booklet identifying vegetation and wildlife in the refuge. "Outdoor Classrooms" "Here, in outdoor classrooms, an awareness and respect for all life will be taught," said Mrs. Clausing.

She said there will also be a small classroom of the armory rally the culmination of three parades in various sections of the city at the Republican candidate. Says Case Avoids Issues He said Case was avoiding the issues and personalities of normal campaigns and that, as a result, "the Democratic organization finds itself opposing a Republican senatorial candidate who is desperately trying to be on all sides of all questions and to be all things to all men." Kenny accused Case of "paying only lip service to labor" and said his labor role is "belied by his active and sturdy support" of Rep. Peter H. B. Frelinghuysen (5th District) and Rep.

William B. Windnall (7th District). They have been marked by the AFL-CIO as having the "worst" record on labor issues in Congress. "I know a Republican when I see one," Kenny said heatedly. "The Republican party is the I STOPPED in the other day to see the man who taught me everything I know about the violin.

Ha! Didn't know I could play the violin, did you? Well actually, I can't anymore. I haven't kept up with it. But at one time, I fiddled around with the violin quite a bit. While I couldn't play Tschaikovsky's violin concerto, I definitely was a pathe-tique Paganinni. BUT I WAS delighted to see that Robert Reich of 18 Merwit Court, Mer-chantville, had kept up with the violin.

At the time I knew him some 14 years ago, he had been devoted to the instrument. But I have seen so many devotions die of atrophy with the passing years that I wouldn't have been too surprised to learn that Bob Reich now only played the television set. Reich not only has retained his devotion to the violin, he has formed a string quartet, which has been played together for its own entertainment for 12 years. Self-entertainment is the cul-de-sac that many fine musicians eventually find themselves in. For, as Reich says, if you can't play with the Philadelphia Orchestra or the newly-formed Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia who can you play with and make a living? AND HOW often are there vacancies in the Philadelphia Orchestra? Reich learned bass and for awhile played the gin mills with a combo.

But eventually he gave this up and now works as the operator of a substation for the Public Service Electric and Gas Company. But we still haven't gotten to the real subject of this column. You may have seen Reich a number of times but not have known who he was. FOR REICH, 34, is the man who, in the dead of winter, wears shorts, a tee-shirt and perhaps a sweater and pedals a racing bicycle from his home in Mer. chantville to work in Gloucester Township, eight miles away.

Reich is only five-foot-five and at the time I knew him was inclined to chub-biness. "I once went up to 197," he says. Seeking to cut down his weight, Reich sought a doctor's advice, and the doctor advised him: exercise. As a boy, Reich had always loved bicycling, so he decided this would be it. COUKIER-POST Camden, N.

J. Friday, Ortobor 28, 1066 Hudson Boss Calls Case Faker By IDA MAE ROEDER Courier-Post Staff The first combination humane educational center, wildlife refuge and animal shelter of the Animal Welfare Association of Camden County will be dedicated Saturday at 11 a.m. Mrs. Kay Clausing, educational director of the society, said this is the first humane center of its type in this part of the state. The new facility, located on the Marlton-Gibbsboro Roads in Voorhees Township, is not only for the housing of lost and unwanted animals of every description, but also for the education of people, she said.

Auditorium Planned Besides the kennel quarters, isolation quarters for sick animals and kitchen for preparation of animal food, the new building will house a library and meeting rooms. A future plan is for the addition of an auditorium. Unique feature of the kennel section of the shelter will be its roofed outdoor runs. Roofing will consist of white fiber-glas to protect the animals while outdoors from rain, sun or other weather conditions. Outdoor runs will be connected to indoor kennels by an adjustable door so animals may go in and out at will.

"We are predominantly a humane agency but our interest does not stop with the animals," said Mrs. Clausing. "We are interested in people and their problems in relation to either their own animals or pets or those who have no pets of their City Council Gets Many Complaints A bus-load of residents from South Camden wanted answers to a lot of questions from City Council last night. Their queries ranged from action on rent control to the in stallation of more street lights. Most of the 50 persons at the meeting were members of neighborhood organizations being sparked in the area by six young Volunteers in Service to America, billed as the "domestic peace corps." They have been meeting weekly in St.

John's Episcopal Church, Broadway and Royden Street, which sponsors the VISTA work here. Arrived in Bus They arrived in a bus from the Camden Christian Center, 250 Line Street, with more complaints than council has received in a long time. Roosevelt Nesmith, chairman of the local CORE chapter, also expressed impatience over council's delay in acting on a rent control proposal. Several youths from the Cen-terville-Liberty Park area also pleaded with council for aid in their campaign for a Public Service bus to provide transportation to school. Explains Problem Edward Young of 2023 S.

8th Street, a Camden High pupil, explained the problem. He said about 300 youths in the area have signed petitions and proposed a route to Public Service. They have gotten the endorsement of school officials, but no response from Public Service. The youths said they must walk seven or eight blocks to the -nearest bus to either Camden High Hatch Junior High. Young noted that Public Service has provided bus service for youngsters in the Fairview section.

Council members sug- gested that the Public Utilities Commission might be able to help and promised to investigate. Dr. Anthony Catrambone also is expected to meet next week with Public Service of-' ficials. Presents List Mrs. Anna Sample of 205 Royden Street presented council with a list of problems as a spokesman for residents in the Third Ward; She questioned when the city plans to establish a rent control board, where the Industrial Highway will be constructed and plans for low-rent projects in the area.

Mrs. Sample also asked for action on a vacant lot and house at 528 and 530 S. 2nd Street and boarded-up property at 212 Royden Street. She also proposed "no litter signs" be placed in alleys, speed limit signs posted in the area and enforcement of no-parking zones. She suggested that the 200 block of Evans Street be used as a play area and that more lights be placed in the 300 block of Evans Street.

Councilman Mario Rodriguez, acting president, assured Mrs. Sample that all of her questions will be forwarded to the various directors involved and she will receive answers. Michael DeRosa. a VISTA worker, complained there is a lack of recreation areas from Federal Street to Kaighns Avenue. Rodriguez said he agreed and the matter is being "looked into." 1 By Council By BARBARA S.

WILLIAMS Courier-Post Stajf City Council's selection of a retired Negro school principal to the Camden Housing Authority "disappointed" at least one civil rights leader last night. J. Carroll Rooks of 1483 Greenwood Avenue was appointed to a five-year term to fill a six-month-old vacancy on the authority. Whale Roosevelt Nesmith, chairman of the local CORE chapter, termed Rooks a "nice man," he said Rooks has not been active for years in the civil rights movement. The Coordinated Civil Rights Group has been closely watching the appointment and earlier had urged council to choose "someone in the mainstream" of the movement.

Nesmith said, "we were hoping that before they made a selection they would at least talk to us. But, they completely ignored us. I think a younger man, more active in local civic problems should have been chosen. I'm disappointed." Robert Hazelwood, president of the local NAACP, was more restrained an his comments. Rooks is a member of the NAACP.

While Hazelwood said Rooks has "not been vocal or overt in his activities in the area of civil rights in recent years, he does have the knowledge and capability to perform a service on the authority." Hazelwood said he, "didn't expect any consideration to be given to those who have been active publicly. I only can speak for persons who have been active publicly." However, Hazel-wood said Rooks would be considered in terms of his actions in the future. Rooks, 67, was associated with Camden's public school system for 32 years and principal of the Bergen school. He replaces William Carter, the only Negro on the authority. Jarter, who had some strong disagreements with other mem- bers of the authority, was cen sured by the umt last year.

Carter had not attended a meeting for several months prior to the end of his term last April. He said a change in his teaching schedule prevented his presence. Rev. Ethridge Williamson questioned council last night on how Rooks' appointment was made. Councilman Mario Rodriguez explained that his name was proposed by Council President Elizabeth Hawk, and the other members felt he would be an asset to the authority.

Rodriguez was acting president last night in Mrs. Hawk's absence. Civil rights groups have requested that the next two appointments to the authority be a Puerto Rican and a Negro. Rev. Donald A.

Griesmann, pastor of St. John's Episcopal Church, noted last night that the need for a Puerto Rican was recently demonstrated. Father Griesmann said a mem-ber of CORE had to come up with the idea of translating public housing regulations into Spanish. The rector said the translated material now is being distributed in the Spanish-speaking community. Other council action last night included: Denial of a variance to Charles Jackson for a laundromat at 644 S.

4tji Street. The variance had been recommended by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Council adopted a resolution stating that the facility would "create and increase, traffic and parking problems in the area." Approved a variance to Stanley Heat and Fuel Company to use facilities at 1198 Lansdowne Avenue for garaging' vehicles and storing material and office facilities. Awarded a $19,986 contract to Wallace Brothers of Palmyra for construction of curbs and paving in Pleasant and Dudley Streets from 31st Street to Rose-dale Avenue and in 31st Street, Lemuel Avenue southward. The streets will service the new Stockton Stations apartment complex.

Offered a dwelling at 263 Chestnut Street for public sale at a minimum price of $300. Girl, 7, Hospitalized After Car Accident A seven-year-old Maple Shade girl was admitted in fair condition to Cooper Hospital today with a fractured leg and jaw and her mother was treated after their car smashed two parking meters and hit a utility pole on Maple Avenue, Mer-chantville. According to Sgt. Milow Barber. Mrs.

Dorothy Edwards, 37, of 34 Cambridge Circle, apparently lost control of her car which swerved onto the sidewalk in front of the Merchant-ville-Pennsauken Water Company shortly before 3 a.m. today. Mrs. Edwards, and her daughter, Brenda, were taken to the hospital ythe Pennsauken Aid Squad. Mrs.

Edwards, according to Sgt. Barber, was issued a careless driving summons. time the carnival-like proceedings halted. Grateful for Support Wilentz, expressing gratitude for labor endorsements that one union leader said would swing 500,000 union members to his side by election day, promised to make repeal of the Taft-Hartley law's 14-B, "right to work" provision his first obligation if he is elected and to make a $2 an hour minimum wage also a primary goal. The vigor with which Case was attacked indicated increasing frustration in the Wilentz camp and among Democratic leaders over their inability to come to head-and-head grips with their GOP opponent.

Case has been all but ignoring Wilentz' charges that he is a "do nothing" senator with false credentials as a Republican liberal and a record of poor service to New Jersey. Kenny hurled the main blow Page 15 party of the ulU'aconservatives and the fat cats." Grow Strong Together Hughes recalled that labor and the Democratic party "had grown strong together over the past 35 years," that Democratic legislatures produced pro-labor laws and that "we want this trend to continue." Wilentz who was given the band-playing, singing, marching and flag-waving welcome characteristic of Hudson Democratic rallies responded by pledging to "fight and slave to see that 14-B is repealed." That T-H law provision allows states to legislate the right to work without joining a union. "I am against the idea of a Republican senator," said Wilentz, "who says he's for labor but is working for every anti-labor, ultra-conservative congressman running on his ticket. That's wrong." 486,000 Union Backing Joseph P. Maden, head of Wi- lentz's statewide labor committee, listed new labor union endorsements for Wilentz that were voted in recent weeks and said they add up to a union member backing of 486,000.

The Hudson labor rally was the high point of a campaign day of sharp contrasts in locale and activity. After a brief talk at a Kiwanis Club luncheon here, Wilentz flew to Warren County, where he canvassed for votes and comments at shopping centers in Hopat-cong, Phillipsburg, Washington and Hackettstown. At the latter, a store manager cut the "visiting" short because he said he had not received permission for it. Rep. Frank Thompson whose new 4th District now includes Warren and Hunterdon as well as his home county of Mercer, joined Wilentz during his Warren travels.

After winding up his Warren visit at a reception at the Bel-videre home of Mrs. Irene Smith, a former state Senate candidate, Wilentz returned by airplane to Newark for a Democratic State Committee reception at the Robert Treat Hotel. He made an appearance at a testimonial dinner for a Netvark Negro councilman, Calvin West, and then struck out for the labor rally here. In most of his talks he merely reiterated his criticism of Case as a senator aloof to New Jersey's needs who should be replaced by a Democrat "who would work for New Jersey and who would be available to you at offices in New Jersey." Upstate, Stumps 'Great Society By JOHN O. DAMES Courier-Post Stajf JERSEY CITY John V.

Kenny, Hudson County's militant leader, last night described Republican Sen. Clifford P. Case's reelection campaign as "one of the most peculiar, deceptive and hypocritical I've ever seen in more than 50 years of intense political activity." He told a noisy, banner-waving labor rally for Warren Wilentz, the Democratic senatorial candidate, that he believes Case "is a phony and a faker." Although they were more reserved. Gov. Richard J.

Hughes and Wilentz indicated full agreement with Kenny's views in their comments at Jersey City armory before a crowd that peaked at about 2,500 and then fell off to less than 1,000 by the Case Backs By DICK GALE Courier-Post Stajf NEWARK Republican Sen. Clifford Case defends Lyn-don Johnson's "Great Society," even though he believes there have been better names for social legislation. Asked yesterday by a Newark College of Engineering student if the "Great Society" doesn't take away initiative from the poor so they don't try to get ahead, Case replied: "I honestly don't think you need a stick to make the poor do their best." Competitive Spirit "Andrew Carnegie didn't make $100 million just because he was a poor boy," the GOP senator continued, "there is enough competitive spirit in the human being to do the best that's in him no matter what the circumstances." Helping the poor is one thing American society has not yet learned to do with complete success, Case observed. While there has been some outright crookedness and some influence building in the war on poverty, "such waste as we've had should not deter us from going ahead and increasing the effort," he said. Campaigning through Democratic-controlled Essex County, Case also took on questioners at Upsala College and the Irving-ton Rotary Club.

He addressed the United Nations Day convocation at Montclair State College. Feared White Backlash At a conscience power HE BOUGHT a 10-speed racing bike about a year ago and began pedaling to and from work. "Then I got hooked," he says. 1 For he not only used the bike to go back and forth to work; he began pedaling in his off-hours and eventually was averaging 200 miles a week. "It's the greatest form of exercise and relaxation there is," he says.

"You can pace yourself according to your ability and age. And there's no better way to enjoy nature. You can not only see but smell the things around you." BECAUSE of the heavy traffic on major highways, Reich recommends bicycling in the country. But he adds that it takes only a short time to reach the country from this area. The bike averages a speed of 16-20 miles per hour but can go up to 30.

Most of Reich's riding is done in the less-populous and more scenic Burlington County, and he recently went on a semi-annual jaunt with 75 other bicyclists from the Tacony-Falmyra bridge to Mount Holly. There are no bicycling clubs that Reich knows of in South Jersey, but he would like nothing better than to form one. Incidentally, the doctor's suggestion was effective: Reich went down to 151 pounds. he went on, about questions you don't know exist yet?" In an indirect response to his foe's campaign pitch, Case said "I can do more for Massachusetts kind of stuff" is "degrading to me." Because it suggests that Influence is necessary to get things done, "it's an insult to the federal bureaucracy and to the people of our state," he said. "We should be done with influence, and I think we have." Case, who has been a severe critic of the Young Republican "Rat Finks," got a generally friendly reception at rallies at Newark and Upsala.

He flared up once when a Newark student tried to interrupt his explanation of why he favors increased trade with Communist nations. The senator flew back to Washington last night and will leave the hustings to his opponent today. Tomorrow afternoon Case will be in Middlesex County. meeting sponsored by the New Jersey Ministers Alliance of the African Methodist Episcopal Church here, Case said the Johnson administration faltered on civil rights during the past year because of intimidation by Southern Democrats and fear of white backlash in the North. To Irvington Rotarians, the GOP candidate urged no halt in the civil rights push because of rioting or violence.

"There can be no real security for anybody until everybody has equality," he asserted. Blandest Campaign Case told Upsala students "This is the blandest campaign I've had" with respect to Republican aggravation because of his failure to support presidential nominee Barry Goldwater in 1964. He reiterated his reason: Goldwater's failure to take the lead against efforts to use the white backlash to elect him. The Republican liberal agreed with a student that there was little difference between Richard M. Nixon and the late John F.

Kennedy in 1960, and added "I think it's great." A political party is not a church to enroll persons of the same ideology, he said, but exists "to provide a framework for government when one party or the other runs out of steam." Tells of Choice Case said the choice between him and Democrat Warren W. Wilentz comes down to this question: "Do you think I'm a better man than he is?"
