By MICKEY MARTELLE His name is Gent. Ed Gent and he is the postmaster. He has a bit of a pot tummy as postmasters are wont. He also has a weak spot. We covered the annual Elks steak bake Sunday and a gVand and glorious occasion it was.

Conviviality flowed like water and everyone was friends. The was heaped high with meats, cheeses, clams, breads, pickles, olives and the various and sundry things that are required to make an outing of this scope a success. There also was clam broth, and therein lies the tale. Ed Gent is a frustrated seacoast lover. Even he does not realize this but it is a fact.

He will never rest comfortably in the hereafter until such time that' he creates the "perfect" clam broth. For an inlander he doesn't do badly. first time that I met Ed on social plane was at the annual firemen's mid-winter clambake and that is another story altogether. Let it suffice bent my ear at great length discussing the finesse JONES MEMORIAL Census 55 Adults, 6 Babies 4 Operations ATTENDS WORKSHOP Gerald H.

On one or two occasions since then he has reiterated the same old jazz about his prowess in the kitchen at. least as far as the broth was concerned.

The writer listened to Ed, nodded his head in agreement and was forced to acquiesce that whatever intricate step it was Ed was running through at the time was exactly the step that is needed to make a memorable clam broth rather than a so-so one. I listened to him because it was polite to do so. Afterall what could he know about clam broth. What could he know about clams as far as that goes? In any case Sunday came and the writer was among those at the steak bake. Richie Lippman told me that the affair was slated to get underway at noon so I got there at 15 minutes to the hour and nearly died of loneliness.

A quick check by Richie showed that the affair was to start at 1 p.m., fine. I went home and finished some chores about the homestead and returned at the appointed hour again to be rebuffed. While the affair actually began at 1 p.m. the steak bake was 1 not until 6 p.m. Dejectedly I wended my way out of the Elks club, uttering some choice invectives at and about Richie Lippman when suddenly a hoarse whisper said "Hey!" You guessed it, it was Gent.

It was not, the ordinary Gent. It was a Gent that was replete in chefs clothing and with a sly grin of accomplishment on his face. "Try a cup of broth." I tried it and it was good. In fact it was more than good. It was Except for a strange flavoring.

There was something odd about the taste of the broth. It was fine, only it tasted a bit odd, sort of an aftertaste if you know what I mean. First off it lacked salt. I mean it lacked real salt, doubtlessly Ed had laced the product thoroughly with the table variety but unless you have tasted clam broth made with a healthy portion of ocean water you just haven't had clam broth. This we could account for.

The last time that high tide reached Wellsville was many generations before our oldest resident's memory. Still that odd flavor pervailed. I got to the bottom of my broth and there it was! Just as plain! Ed Gent puts chicken liver in his clam broth! All I can say is awhile theve was hope for his culinary future. But chicken liver in clam broth? HOUGHTON The campus of Houghton College was the site of the historic 32nd General Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, held June 1419. Paramount accomplishment of the conference was approval by the delegates of merger with two other evangelical denominations: The Pilgrim Holiness Church and the Alliance of Reformed Baptist Church of Canada.

Ratification of the merger plan by the Pilgrim Holiness Church followed and the Baptist group is expected to ratify the plan during its July Conference. Merger of the three demonin- ations will necessitate a convention, scheduled for 1968, to complete legal and business details of the union. Thereafter, a new name, The Wesleyan Church, will designate the denomination. It will have a membership of approximately 110,500 in the United States and world wide. Meeting in concurrent session with the General Conference were the other two branches of the church, tthe Woman's Missionary Society and Wesleyan.

"The removal of the drunken driver from the highway is the biggest single problem facing those with the immediate responsibility for traffic safety. But the police cannot do the job alone. They must have the complete cooperation of the public if this form of homicide is to be eradicated," he added. Superintendent Cornelius reported that during the first five months of this year, the Police made 1,330 arrests for drunken driving, an increase of 18.2 per cent over the 1,125 arrests for this violation in the same period of 1965. Of these arrests, 511 this year and 470 last year were made as a result of accident investigations.

"It is significant that a majority of these drivers were detected before they caused any havoc," he said. "The State Police will be relentless in efforts to end this menace but they must have the fullest cooperation of the public if this objective is to be achieved. This means the exercise of discretion and moderation in drinking if you plan to drive." BABCOCK Tonight and Tuesday One Showing at 7:30 THE GROUP" The horned toad is actually a lizard.
