"Everything's fine," Neil Mclntyre a Deptford farmer who lost 2,000 hogs in the eradication program, said earlier this week.

"We're keeping our fingers crossed, but it looks like the program is working." His feeling was echoed by Charles Messner of Egg Har- bor Road who lost 2,400 pigs to the lethal injections ad- ministered by a federal hog cholera task force.

Original State The mayor said he is wary of adopting any plan that would not assure that homes would not return to their original run-down state within months after they are repaired. City council agreed during a closed-door caucus in August that it is in favor of adopting some kind of homesteading ordinance.

Errichetti said today the survey is being taken in preparation for composing an ordinance. Named to the committee were Don Zissman, real estate broker; Joseph Scott and William Tankaley, housing specialists of the Camden County Council, Office of Eco has succeeded in isolating Israel and pressuring the United States. The world has now started to look at Egypt in a different way." In a formal statement issued yesterday, the Japanese government called upon Israel to withdraw from all Arab lands it has occupied since the start of the 1967 War. In line with Wada's remarks about Japan's views on Egypt, the government declared its policy towards Israel might have to be revised on the basis of future developments. There was no indication of exactly what the Japanese had in mind.

Wada said Japan, which imports 80 per cent of its oil from the Middle East, was more severely affected by the Arab oil cutback than cither the United States or Europe. Face Starvation He said while other nations may worry about a cold winter "we are worried about our industries. We may be able to bear the cold, but we will not be able to bear starvation." The Japanese envoy said Japan's 20-year relationship with the United States has been mainly a business relationship. He said in the new era of East-West detente, "we have been asked to play a new role." He said this new role "is one of mediator to help the Western bloc get rid of its, internal contradictions." But he said Japan remained "committed to coordinate with the United States." He said whetever differences may arise between Japan and America "are only differences between husband and wife." In other action, Saudi Arabia has apparently decided to defy Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's warning that the United States would consider taking unspecified "counter-measures" unless the Arab states ended their oil boycott.

24, a Delran policeman and two other Cinnaminson officers said they saw a "football-shaped object with a haze around it." It was described as' "too large to be a star, and flying too low to be an airplane." EARLIER in October, five policemen from Penns Grove and Penns Neck in Salem County reported seeing a bright white light "just pop out of the sky." The light, they said, headed toward an orange light and the two finally "just disappeared into thin air." A woman in Blackwood saw an amber-colored thing discharge flaming particles from its bottom. Two women in Red Lion saw two cone-shaped black clouds hover over the Medford traffic while the wind carried all the other, clouds right by them. A housewife from Mount Laurel saw a 50-foot, globe-shaped thing explode in mid-air over Church Road. And the list goes on. Perhaps the most bizarre tale concerned two Mississippi shipyard workers who said they were "kidnaped" by three "silver-skinned creatures with pointed ears who took them aboard a cigar-shaped spaceship and examined them.

LATER, the two men were given a lie detector test. Both passed. Michael Campione of Cinnaminson takes these and all reported UFO sightings seriously. Campione has believed in the existence of flying saucers since 1947, when he read an article in a national magazine written by a retired Navy lieutenant commander. The Navy man and three scientists tracked a flying saucer on a missile firing range in New Mexico, according to the article.

The object was supposedly traveling 18,000 miles per hour, faster than any of the government's missiles.

By GEORGE ANASTASIA Courier-Post Staff The Score: 1 50,000 Fans 28 Games Camden Mayor Angelo J. Errichetti said today a survey that is being conducted by a newlyformed committee will produce information on which to base a program for "urban homcsteading" in the city. Homesteading is a concept whereby abandoned homes that have been taken over by the city for reasons such as non-payment of taxes can be sold for a nominal fee in exchange for a guarantee from the purchaser that the home will be rehabilitated.

In cities that have implemented homesteading, such as Philadelphia and Wilmington, the homes are sold for $1. It has been estimated that as many as 1,500 homes about 10 per cent of the dwellings in the city are currently vacant. Not all the vacant homes could be made available for homesteading, however, since some are within urban renewal areas and others have been condemned as structurally unsound. Errichetti has appointed seven persons to an Urban Homesteading Ad Hoc Committee. The committee has begun surveying potential ho-, mesteaders to determine since 1966 with a 14-7 victory at Ocean City.

Ster WOODBURY One year ago Gloucester County's $3.75 million hog farming industry hovered on the brink of financial disaster, rocked by one of the worst hog cholera epidemics in the history of New Jersey.

Before it had ended, the epidemic, and a federally enforced hog eradication program designed to stop its spread, resulted in the destruction of over 10,000 hogs and caused federal and state officials to fork over more than $1 million in indemnities to farmers whose herds were "depopulated." Now, 12 months later, the hog industry appears to be back on its feet and the once- into effect Wednesday, the day the action was announced. His departmental hearing will be Dec. 17.
