To work out problems that children face, the camp runs a session called "Values and Ethics Clarification." It gives a child a hypothetical situation and then an opportunity to discuss the different responses he could make. Eric Singleton, a counselor for 11 years, feels that ages six to 12 are the most impressionable years of a child's life. "A kid is given a chance to make a right turn. Many of them have taken4t." IN ADDITION to hosting children, the camp has separate facilities and programs for senior citizens. Throughout the year, it can care for 120 seniors a week.

Area golden-ager groups can rent the facilities for their own retreats. In the early fall the camp will start a new week-long program for 150 adult men who have problems with alcoholism, unemployment and social adjustment. The Salvation Army has balked at a request by the borough council that it make an annual "contribution" to the borough of $25,000. The payment, in lieu of taxes, would compensate the borough for services such as fire and police protection, the council says. Major Thomas Adams, the charity's general secretary for business administration, has said that he doesn't want to cut expenses from any of its programs.

The Salvation Army and representatives of the council are still negotiating what compensation the tax-exempt institution will make. Major Hoffman's concerns are not so much with politics, but with her responsibilities to the children. "Anytime you accept the responsibility for the emotional, physical and spiritual growth and well-being of children," she said, "even if. it is for two weeks, it is a serious responsibility.

Black, white, Spanish-speaking children between the ages of seven ah'd 11 are led by a staff of 170 counselors from around the world. Some of the "counselors were campers at Star Lake years'before.

Major Angie Hoffman, the director of the program, has worked with the Salvation Army camp for 20 years. Tanned, her short blond hafc- windblown, she described the program from behind the wheel of the camp van. As she drove along the lush, winding dirt roads of the 500-acre camp, past lakes and modern, cedar cabins, she waved to campers who yelled back greetings. SINCE 1923 when the camp opened, she said in a soft voice, the purpose of the program has been to get the children away from the city, and exposed to a variety of new experiences. Perhaps most important, she said, was the exposure to "good role models," "Kids should see adults working well together," she said.

The high court said the union selected by a majority of employees is the sole representative in grievance procedures. The court ruled in a suit brought by the Red Bank Regional Education Association against the Red Bank Regional High School Board of Education. The association, representing the teachers, had claimed a right to file grievances in contract disputes, but the board obtained a court restraint.

sought by the association was one which could be acquired only through a negotiated contract, and the union always abandoned this demand in exchange for other concessions.

"The gambling hasn't packed them in anywhere except the casino." Gerald Gardner, another Atlantic City real estate said the cool weather may have something to do with the slow business at the resort city. "WE DEAL' a lot more with the weekend and weekly renters than do other resort towns," he said. "For us, the weather is critical, and it has not been beach weather here at all." Just to the north, sedate Brigantine offers a contrast in style to the bustle of Atlantic City. Primarily an upper class vacation spot, the small town appears to be unaffected by the ups and downs of the mercury thermometer. "We have a lot of the same people coming here in the middle of winter," said a grocery store owner.

"They don't care if it's 80 degrees or 90 degrees." Seaside Heights, the melting pot of North and Central Jersey vacationers, appears to be doing as well this year as ever before. Traffic along Route 35 to Pelican Island remains jammed almost every weekend, arid one realtor reported summer sales up. "People insult us a lot," said Louise Blaustein, a realtor at Seaside Park. "They call the Seaside Heights area the McDonald's of the seashore, but do all right every year. This year, we're doing even better."

"We're where we usually are around this time of year," said Ann Doswell, an Absecon realtor. "We booked most of our cabins In advance anyway, and the weekly rentals haven't been affected much by the weather." SAM WENDELL, a Seaside Heights realtor, agreed. "People don't rent on the basis of past weather," he said. "They think their week of vacation is going to be a hot one, so they come down here." The U.S. Weather Service has predicted that the unusually cool, wet weather will continue through August.
