CHESTNUT NECK, N. j..
July 23.-Less than an houl
from almost any southern New
Jersey resort is an area that
once flouriShed in Revolution
ary days. The spot can be
reached by either Route 9 OF
the Garden State Parkway.
The site begins where the
Mullica River enters Great Bay
on its way to the Atlantic
Ocean. Road maps are well
marked, making the location
easy to find.
South of the river, and north
of Smithville on Route 9
stands the Chestnut Neck mon-
ument, quietly marking the
spot where once a very i'm
portant and thriving seaport
town stood in Revolutionary
days.
The bay to the north was
crowded with ships. Some from
New York regularly brought
mail and provisions and re-
turned loaded with lumber, fish,
furs and farm products. Even
supplies for General Washing
tons forces were landed here,
then carted across the state
by wagon.

Beochcombers Scour
Sands of Ocean City

If there has been an extremely
high wind or severe storm, by
all means head for the beach
as soon as it is over. Check the
tides and look for days when
there is to be a low tide during
the afternoon hours.
When you get to the beach,
look for the high water mark
left by the storm or previous
high tide. Follow its wavering
line up or down the beach.
Items that have rested on the
ocean floor for years are often
Ichurned UP and deposited high
on the beach by an unusually
severe storm or wind.
Many veteran beachcombers
will venture out to the beach
in the middle of a storm if the
tides predict that beachcomb-
ing will be favorable. The big
day in the life of a beach
comber comes when a north
east storm hits the coast.
While the timid head for
cover, the fearless beach
comber is heading in the op-
posite direction, toward the
beach and who knows what
undiscovered treasure he will
uncover. Wrapped snug and
comfortable in his protective

rain gear. the beachcomber will
wander the sands at the height
of a severe storm and appear
completely unaware of the
elements.
Although there are no beach,
comber clubs in the United
States, true beach comberS fol-
low a set of rules as if they
were members of a strict
organization. For instance, a
beach hunter will never spend
money found on the beach.
Some unwritten rule seems
to make the spending of found
money a sacrilege. All coins
are separated according to
denomination and deposited in
jars.
Spanish coins, diamond rings,
souvenirs of the 1899 Worlds
Fair, and even false teeth are
boarded by the true beach
wanderer. .-.

OCEAN CITY, Md, July %.
With miles of fine white
beach fronting Ocean City, it's
understandable why the beach
here is never crowded and it is
because of this uncrowded con-
dition that the area is a ia
vorite of beachcombers.
Treasured pieces of driftwood
often lay for days before they
are discovered by a lucky
beach wanderer.
Exotic shells, unusual ma
rine life and rare ancient
coins are tossed upon the beach
by a restless ocean. There they
lay waiting to be retrieved by
q passing beachcomber.
Often the gentle winds
quickly cover the coins and
other bits of small driftage
until such time as the ocean
decides to reclaim its treasure.
Almost invariably the ocean will
deposit the same treasure on
another section of beach as if
it we're anxious for someone
to find it.
For novice beachcomber, the
best time to stroll the beach is
after a particularly high tidp,

Town Burned
\In 1778 two British mer-
chantmen were captured ano
towed to Chestnut Neck. Retail

teer activities, followed. After
some Skirmishes with local in.

Ito Port Republic, Pleasant
Mills, and Batsto, and Chest
nut Neck really never came
back" as a town.
The stage route ended at
Leeds Point in those days. This
small town can be reached by
travelling south on Route 9
from the monument, a very
short distance, then turning
oceanward a short mile.
The area is interesting now
because of the fishing, the pri-
vate fishing boats and activity
around Great Bay, as well as
the view across the once pros
porous seaport.
At the end of the old stage
line here there was a ferry to
Brigantine at one time, and
standing on the point looking
southeast one can see parts of
present day Brigantine.
The stage coach house, since
remodeled and occupied, was
used as a transmitter base by
Nazi agents during World War
II. until the FBI discovered
the hideout.
From here one can return to
Route 9 and the road home or
take the road to Port Republic,
and thence to Batsto and
Pleasant Mills, such as the
Chestnut Neck survivors did.
There will be more about those
places in a later story.

A reader recently asked
whether it is better to shoot
pictures with a high shutter
speed and a wide lens aper-
ture, or with a slower speed
and a smaller, lens opening.
Since this is a question that
comes up rather frequently
we print our answer along
with some replies to other
inquiries.
The question of shutter
speed-lens opening should
be decided by the type Of
snapshot you are taking. For
example, if you are about to
shoot a scenic view Of the
countryside and there is no
motion to stop, you would
stop the lens way down to
obtain great depth of field
and set the shutter speed
accordingly. But if, on the
other hand, you have a NOV
ing subject to stop, then
select the correct aperture to
go with. this speed. An ex-
posure meter will give you
the right answer either way.
