"I'm really excited about it," he said. "There's a good feeling at this early stage." the first order of business, Kamin said, will be to meet with representatives of all nine towns to discuss their needs and review the individual development plans.

The Bayshore comprises Matawan, Keyport, Union Beach, Keansburg, Atlantic Highlands, Highlands and Middletown, Aberdeen and Hazlet townships. Kamin is particularly excited about Keyport, which already has begun moving on acquiring funding to develop its downtown business district. "Keyport, in my opinion, is really a jewel of a community," he said. "From what we have seen officials there have advanced rather rapidly, and there's quite a lot of support from as a reporter in 1956 when he began covering the Bayshore area for The Register. Next month, when the development office opens in Atlantic Highlands, he will be coordinating economic development in nine Bay-shore towns.

"It's been exciting to see many of the same problems are still there, but by the same token, a lot of progress has taken place," he said. "The Bay-shore is on the threshold of greater development." The post is an outgrowth of the Bayshore Development Plan a master plan for the region that was funded by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and unveiled by Gov. Kean last year. The office falls under the auspices of the state Department of Community Affairs, whose director, Leonard T. Coleman, is an Atlantic Highlands resident.

Coleman's commitment to the Bayshore, plus Kamin's contacts By WILLIAM K. HEINE Press Shrewsbury Bureau ARTHUR Z.

Kamin, of Grange Walk, was appointed to the post last week, after serving as president and editor of the Daily and Sunday Register of Shrewsbury since 1971. He resigned from The Register earlier this year.

"It's a new career and yet it's an old career in that I felt during my years at The Register we played a part in the orderly and progressive growth of Monmouth County," he said. "My feeling is the newspaper was a positive force in doing that, and in some respects, this is a continuation of that."

Money tree donated to center A MONEY TREE, representing fund-raising by the Old Tennent Presbyterian Church, Manalapan Township, was presented to The Grove Health Care Center and The Lodge, 919 Green Grove Road, Neptune, by Mr. and Mrs.

Frank Schweitzer. The proceeds from the money tree will go into the bus fund, to help purchase a bus to carry wheelchair-bound residents of the nursing home. The Lodge and center for almost 300 elderly residents are affiliated with the Presbyterian Homes of New Jersey.

Panel OKs bus inspection bill. A SENATE panel has approved legislation to make the state Department of Transportation responsible for commercial bus inspections. Both transportation department and state Division of Motor Vehicles have joint jurisdiction over commercial charter bus inspections, said Sen. Leonard T. Connors, R-Ocean.

Connors sponsored the bill, which was approved 3-0 by the Transportation and Communications Committee and is ready for a full Senate vote. The committee merged an identical companion Assembly bill with Connors' measure. Both the transportation department and the state Department of Environmental Protection, which sets environmental standards for buses, support the consolidation plan. Museum plans ground-breaking THE MONMOUTH MUSEUM, which leases property on the Middletown Township campus of Brookdale Community College, hopes to break ground next spring on a addition to house the Junior Museum. The college board of trustees approved the plan last week, and the project now must await approval from the Planning Board, said Dorothy Morehouse, president of the museum.

The Junior Museum, a hands-on exhibition area for youngsters, has occupied a large part of the museum gallery since 1978. Museum officials want to separate it from the conventional museum displays, Mrs. Morehouse said. About 35,000 young students from area schools visit the Junior Museum each year. "We're anxious to get started because with that number of children going through our existing building, it's disturbing for somebody studying the museum pieces," she said.

"We feel if we can move them out to a new building, it will be a lot easier for everyone." The new building, which will be two stories high and be connected to the existing museum by a covered walkway, is estimated to cost $250,000. The museum plans to solicit finds for the project, Mrs. Morehouse said. Reunions NORTH ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL Class of 1937 is organizing a 50-year reunion.

Patients given party by workers Press Freehold Bureau NEW JERSEY BELL employees brought the Yuletide spirit to the Freehold Convacenter, Freehold Township, yesterday, delighting the 120 patients there with a party and gifts of clothing and other items. "When we first decided to do something special for Christmas, we saw that there were a lot of groups doing things for children in the area, but there wasn't much being done to brighten the lives of senior citizens," said Denise Prongay, spokeswoman for the New Jersey Bell employee group.

The employees work at the New Jersey Bell Data Center in Freehold Township, which opened in July 1985. "This is our second Christmas here and it's the second time we've done it," she said, referring to the party at the Convacenter, Route 520, near Freehold Area Hospital. Employees either donate money to buy new clothing, or buy gifts on their own, all of which are brought to the center and distributed at a party for the patients, she said. "There were gifts for everyone," she said. Ms.

A person must strive to get outside oneself, he said. "You immerse yourself (in others) somehow," he said. "It's a goal.

It's a vision. It's something you have to work toward." A person should not only give of himself to those he likes, Clark said, but also to those who seem to have "no redeemable qualities at all." And if it is difficult to treat everyone as special, then treating them "as if they were" special and unique can help. In this way, they will be given the opportunity to become special, he said. "People usually respond how other people treat them," Clark added. 1 I A'.

i wm 1 fir' Ufl Parkway opens new exit Press Coastal Monmouth Bureau A NEW Exit 100 A on the northbound side of the Garden State Parkway opened for business yesterday. No accidents were reported. The new ramp, which opened at 10 a.m., allows motorists to exit from the right lane, onto Route 66, instead of moving to the left side of the northbound lanes to exit.

"We had Christmas dinner at Louise's brother's house, excused ourselves, picked up our witnesses and secretly journeyed in my Model Ford to the Rahway home of our minister to be married," Clark said. The couple managed to keep the marriage a secret for about two weeks. "Her family wasn't too fond of me one's self Focus "We have to be more verbal about our feelings, especially our positive feelings," he said.

"Many times these things are unspoken." Some people are shy about disclosing their feelings, he said. In some situations, a person is unable to pick up a signal given off by another; at times, there is none, he added. A giving person will communicate his love and care to another, Clark said. "But there's just not enough of that, I think," he added. Conncll said people can give of themselves through care, responsibil DAVID T.
