New Season
Al Ocean City
BY DICK LOHMEYER

OCEAN CITY, Md. Aug. 81.
- To many vacationers the
Labor Day holiday next week
will signal the beginning Of
a fourth month of summer
weather at Ocean City.
Indeed, many visitors con-
slider September the best Of the
summer months and ever
growing numbers of sun wor-
shippers are planning their an
nual vacation for the newest
of the summer" months.
If veteran resort business
people and residents were
polled on what month they
would choose for a vacation,
the results undoubtedly would
be 100 per cent in favor OF
September.
No matter what beach at
traction was singled out for
discussion, whether it be room
rates, water temperature, fish,
ing, or the weather, people who
know would report it best dur
ing the month of September.
Through the summer. the
temperature of the ocean in
creaseS gradually until it
reaches just the right degree
for bathing during August and
September. The bathing is fur
ther enhanced by an un-
crowded beach.
Perhaps the best feature of a
September week end is the low
off-season rates featured by
hotels. motels, and apartments.
The reduced rates are carried
through to the restaurants,
supper clubs, etc.
1t may come as a surprise to
the summer vacationer, but
every year the resort attracts
a large number of winter vaca-
TONERS who find in Ocean City
the peace and relaxation they
are unable to find in the hurried
rush of city life. The ocean
majestic at any time of the
year, is the perfect companion
to a solitary stroll along the
beach.
The Fireplace has a definite
place in the resort way of life
and who can deny that any
dinner will taste better wher
it is enjoyed before the con.
tented flicker of an open fire.

 "The entire ice cover in these areas looked very disturbed and dirty and its coloring was a bright rust red. The rusty shade of the ice cover might be due to the effect of oil eruptions," the news agency account continued.
 Tass noted that Soviet geolog- ists already have pointed to the possibility of an oil bearing region on the Arctic between the New Siberian Islands and Alaska.

Guards and Police, Taking Each Other For Bandits, "Shoot It Out

FORT WORTH, Texas, R - Two sheriff's deputies and a pair of armored car service guards, each thinking the others were bandits, shot it out Friday night, wounding two of the men.
 "It was the worst mistake in the world" said Tarrant County Sheriff Harlon Wright, "Just one of those unfortunate things"
 Wounded were Deputy Windle Coy Ray, 33, and James E. Hut cherson, 45, a supervisor for the armored car firm. Both were in fair condition in a hospital.
 Wright said Ray and another deputy were part of a three-car stakeout at a supermarket after receiving word the armored car would be robbed.
 Neither the sheriff's deputies mort the armored car officers re- cognized each other.
 The gunfight started when the deputies, wearing civilian clothes, halted the guards car.
 "Everybody was just keyed up" Hutcherson said from his hospital bed. Neither side would blame the other.
 No attempt was made to rob the armored car.

Politically
By The Associated Press

Both presidential candidates could claim a satisfactory Windup to the weeks political activity,
 Vice President Richard Nixon, the Republican nominee, returned to the capital from a Deep South trip claiming the opposition ticket is in "real trouble" in that tradi tionally Democratic area.
 Sen. John Kennedy, the Demo- cratic contender, had the endorse ment of the AFL CIO Union leadership
 "The size and enthusiasm of the crowds exceeded the highest estimates we had received in ad vance," said Nixon on his return from Birmingham, Ala, where he got warm reception, and At lanta, Ga, where an estimated 10000 turned out for him.
 Referring to Kennedy and his running mate, Sen. Lyndon John son, Nixon said We believe that the Kennedy-Johnson ticket is in real trouble in the South and they no longer can conider any South ern state safe as far as they are concerned"
 The AFL-CIO General Board, representing 135 unions, decided Friday to urge its IA million mem bers to support the Democratic tcket "in the best interests of the United States and of the labor movement"
 "On almost every issue between the money interest and the peo- ple's interest Kennedy voted for the people, Nixon voted against the people," said a statement is sued by the board.
 Two Republican officials dis counted the importance of the en- dorsement as an influence on rank and file union members.
 Labor Secretary James Mitchell said it "should be accepted only for what it is, the expression of the personal preference of a small handful of men who hap pen to be officials of the AFL- CIO."
 He predicted workers will vote Republican as, he said, they did in 1852 and 1856"
 Republican National Chairman Thruston Morton said the action came as no surprise to him and that he doubted the endorsement will impress working men and women.
