1959

The news this month, what there is of it, that is, seems to be cornered by the legal profession. Garf DeMarco is enjoying a well-earned rest, now that this year's elections are over, as retired campaign chairman for the Burlington-Ocean County (N. J.) state and assembly candidates. Garf is Burlington county attorney and cranberry farmer, a title which must have a comma in it somewhere, and has been a lawyer in N. J. since 1966. A resident of Hammonton, he is a member of the N. J. and American Bar Associations.

Rick Kugelman is now vice president and treasurer of Camp Affiliates, Inc. He joined the company earlier this year as assistant to the president—new duties will include serving as the company's chief financial officer, as well as administration. Before joining Camp, Dick held financial posts with Reeves Telecom Corp., Singer Company, and the Columbia Broadcasting System. His present company is the parent of Camp Laboratories, specialist in the manufacture and sale of pollution control and specialty chemical products.

Judge Joe Nadeau of the Durham (N.H.) District Court was selected to attend the 1971 American Academy of Judicial Education held last August at the University of Alabama. The purpose of the academy is to provide practical information for judges of courts of limited and special jurisdiction by discussing recent developments in the law, court administration and the public's image of justice.

Max Fischer, a Boston Admiralty lawyer, has been involved in a problem of growing proportions, that of the drug addiction of servicemen returning from Southeast Asia. Max, an ex-marine with Vietnam duty himself, has been trying to have the drug conviction of a decorated Vietnam war veteran overturned, as he feels in this case that a jail sentence for a man who has risked his life for his country is not appropriate. I believe Max feels the system is at fault rather than the individual and he therefore deserves another chance.

Women's Lib, tax division: The IRS is male chauvinist, fumed a housewife who recently had an application to renew her license to make tax-free wine as head of a household rejected. The IRS, she claim, was in effect denying her such status since she was a woman. Not so, retreated the tax service, stating the lady indicated on the application that she wasn't the family head There must be a moral here, men.

Just a few more days until Christmas— and it seems as if it was only last month we were contending with summer vacations. Where has this year gone? Perhaps now time to reflect on last year and think about how you might do things differently in 1972. Seasons Greetings and a very Happy New Year to you all.
