January flew by. By the time you read this, it will be the middle of

February. This means May 8 is coming up fast.

Most of you know that our Law Day Celebration has been moved back

a week to May 8. The day will start at Gia’s with breakfast and the

usual awards. Make sure to come out and congratulate the Liberty

Bell Award honorees, scholarship recipients and Mock Trial winners.

The speaker is yet to be booked, but the list of potential speakers

looks intriguing.

The afternoon and evening festivities will be held at Eastlyn Golf

Course, beginning with golfing, and ending with a family barbeque.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend. Our trial run at

golfing and eating was a ton of fun, and this promises to be even

better. The Law Day Golf Tournament will have prizes of all sorts,

including a chance for a car. Eastlyn management may let me

navigate the beer cart again, but I’m hoping to drive this time. Don’t

golf? Come for dinner. Bring your whole family. Bring your friends. I

can’t think of anything better to do on a Thursday. Plus, your boss

has to let you go - it’s a Bar function!

This is the big fundraiser for the year, please help make it success. If

you would like to help plan and organize, please contact Justin White,

Lou Ann or me. Someone will give you a job. Don’t want a job? Just

buy some tickets and have a good time.

We look forward to seeing everyone there.

Each municipal court as part of their individual municipality and in conjunction with their judge makes the

decision whether or not to close their offices or cancel their court sessions based upon inclement

weather or other emergency situations. Each municipal court has been asked to place a notice in their

public area of the pertinent phone numbers, web sites or media information that they will update for

closings or cancellations. We have also asked each court to email the local bar associations in this

vicinage when they are closing their offices or cancelling the court sessions. If you have any questions

about whether an individual municipal court is open, you should contact that court as the Municipal

Division is not involved in that decision. If you need specific telephone numbers, the public NJ Courts

Online website ( http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/ ) has a section on Municipal Court Addresses which

lists all the municipal courts in the state. If you have any questions about this notice, please contact

Municipal Division Manager, Carole A. Cummings at 856 -853 -3482. Thank you.

GOLF TOURNAMENT

Our annual Major Fundraiser is nearly upon us. This

year, we are pleased to announce the return of the

Golf Tournament. The entrance fee for the Golf

Tournament is priced at about the break-even

point. That means that the “funds” that we need to

“raise” primarily will come from sponsorships.

Please, contact your clients and business

associates, and ask them to help sponsor this

event. There is a sponsorship level to fit every

budget. It may help to point out that monies

contributed towards a sponsorship are deductible as

a marketing expense.

We appreciate that in the past, so many area law

firms have chosen to help sponsor our events. We

need your continued support. However, we also

need you to tap into the extended business

community.

BA R SNI P PET S— FRO M TED R I T T E R , C .C .B.A. H I STO RI A N

Growing Up In Vineland (1952 to 1966)

The decades of the 1950’s and 1960’s were years of prosperity and high expectations in the City of

Vineland.

Government

The City was brand new, having been formed on July 1, 1952 by the consensual consolidation of the

Borough of Vineland with surrounding Landis Township, which entirely encircled the one square mile

borough.

The City of Vineland’s first Mayor was John C. Gittone who served until 1956. Gittone had been Mayor of

the Borough of Vineland from 1937 up until the date of consolidation. He was followed by Frank J. Testa

(1956 to 1960) who later served on the Superior Court bench. The City’s third Mayor died in office.

Albert Giampietro was stricken with a fatal heart attack, following a heated 1962 City Council meeting.

Vineland’s fourth Mayor was Henry Garton who served from 1962 to 1972. Vinelanders have “Bub”

Garton’s vision and determination to thank for the present Vineland City Hall at 7th and Wood Streets.

Industry

Egg production was still a big part of Vineland’s commerce. In fact, the City touted itself as “the egg

basket of America”. One promotion was a Poultry and Egg Festival, the highlight of which was a

contraption called “the world’s largest frying pan”. Thirteen and a half feet in diameter, it was erected

adjacent to the Boulevard and Landis Avenue intersection. Over eighteen thousand fried egg

sandwiches were cooked on it at the June 19, 1954 inaugural festival.

On October 15, 1954, Vineland took a hard hit from Hurricane Hazel. The damage inflicted was

especially felt by the City’s poultry farms, with hundreds of chicken coops being completely destroyed

and countless others badly damaged.

Meanwhile, thousands of Vineland men and women worked in the glass industry. Kimble Glass Compa-

ny, on Crystal Avenue, was bought by Owens-Illinois Glass Company. Mr. Kimble’s Tudor style mansion

still occupies the corner of Landis Avenue at Ewan Terrace.

Landmarks

The Vineland free Public Library, donated by Andrew Carnegie, was a hub of activity.

Diagonally across the street was The Reliance Fire Hall. Parked all the way in the back, on the left, was

the 1924 American La France pumper affectionately named “Old Betsy”. Only one block away, at 6th and

Wood Streets was The Pioneer Fire Hall on the Wood Street side of Vineland City Hall. On the 6th Street

side of City Hall, was the Vineland Elks Lodge. A parking lot now occupies this once vibrant corner.

The Vineland Y.M.C.A. was on Wood Street, just down the block from the Vineland Police Station. It

wasn’t until 1964 that the “new” Y.M.C.A. opened on Landis Avenue near Main Road.

The traffic lights on Landis Avenue were mounted on concrete pylons in the center of each intersection.

The Vineland Police Department Traffic Patrol issued parking tickets from three wheeled motorcycles.

Vineland’s unique Palace of Depression constructed in a swamp out of clay and junked car parts, was

featured in an episode of the television show “You Asked For It”. Soon after, its eccentric, publicity

hound creator, George Daynor, went to prison after falsely claiming knowledge of the 1956 kidnapping of

a Long Island infant.

In the summer, after dinner, families would go for a swim in the Maurice River, at Almond Road Park, and

then stop, for a custard, at the Vineland Circle Dairy Queen.

Cultural

Vineland Roman Catholics were so numerous that Monsignor William J. Hickey’s Scared Heart Parish had

to conduct two 9:30 a.m. Sunday Masses simultaneously: one in the Church proper and a second in the

Church basement. Sacred Heart Parish was eventually split in two, in 1961, with the creation of St.

Francis of Assisi Parish.

The Vineland Jewish Community was also growing. In 1958, the new Beth Israel Synagogue, on Park

Avenue, near Virginia Avenue, was proudly dedicated.

Vineland was known for its Landis Avenue holiday parades. In all of them, Mayor Henry “Bub” Garton

drove his 1912 Baker electric car with tiller steering.

The Vineland High School marching band, led by Bandmaster Carmen Galzerano, was an impressive

sight to behold: 100+ members attired in red military jackets with a white braided citation shoulder

cord, gray slacks and white buck shoes. The white bucks were purchased from Mangino’s in Newfield.

After school, students packed The Spot and The Elite, located across the street from one another, on

Landis Avenue, between Myrtle Street and East Avenue.

All year round, seven nights a week, Vineland teenagers misspent their evening hours cruising back and

forth on Landis Avenue. The serious street racing took place in East Vineland at either Sherman and

Hance Bridge or on South Union Road.

For the celebration of Vineland’s 100th birthday, in 1961, a grand, week-long historical pageant was

produced at Gittone Stadium. That Spring, all of the adult men in town were strongly encouraged to grow

facial hair. They were called “The Brothers of the Brush”.

Piano lessons were offered by Catherine Cresci. Guitar was taught at Vineland Music Center. Saxophone

and clarinet lessons could be had at Platanias Music on Montrose Street and would-be drummers learned

to paradiddle from Dino Fiocchi on North 7th Street.

Ballroom dancing was taught, at The Studio, on Columbia Avenue, by Charles and Norma Tessieri.

Schools

Scores of nursery school aged baby boomers were enrolled at Sandy Hill Country Day School operated on

South Mill Road by Mrs. Kruisselbrink.

The intense high school basketball rivalry between Vineland and Sacred Heart gripped local sports fans

annually.

Sacred Heart Parish built a new high school in 1955, to accommodate the school’s growing enrollment. A

new gymnasium followed in 1960. Sadly, Sacred Heart High School was closed, by the Bishop, in June,

2013.

The “new” Vineland High School opened on January 3, 1963. For the first half of the 1962-63 academic

year, Vineland 7th, 8th and 9th graders attended split sessions in the same Memorial School building.

Those who lived east of the Boulevard went to class from 7 a.m. till noon, while students residing west of

the Boulevard attended class from 12:15 until 5 p.m.

In late January, 1963, the “old” Vineland High School – originally dedicated in 1927 – reopened as Landis

Junior High School.

Businesses

Nearly every family took home delivery of the Vineland Times Journal and nearly everyone did their

shopping locally. The stores on Landis Avenue prospered.

Your family went grocery shopping at Best Market on the circle, at the Food Fair on the Boulevard or at

the A & P at 6th and Elmer Streets. The Acme Market, at 616-618 Landis Avenue, experienced a

spectacular fire in the late 1950’s after which the store relocated to West and Landis Avenues, in the

building now occupied by CVS Pharmacy.

The best cold cuts and cheeses came from Booskos Imports while the best seeded rye bread was baked

by Freedmans. Fresh fruits and vegetables were the domain of Morvays Market.

Young men purchased their apparel at Silvermen’s or Stan Lee’s or at Robert Hall. The women often

shopped at I.C. Schwartzmans. Both genders and all generations patronized Sears and Roebuck at the

circle.

Steven’s Dairy delivered milk to your door, every week

A lot of business was informally discussed, over golf, at the brand new Buena Vista Country Club.

Christmas shopping always included a stop at JJ Newberry Company where the Landis Marketplace is

located today.

An excellent selection of sporting goods could be found at Catarina Hardware.

At the Boulevard and Landis stood the popular Sun Ray Drug Store. Olin Mills Studio rented space, on

the second floor, and took portrait photographs of many Vineland families.

Vineland new car dealerships included East End Motors for Dodge and Chrysler, Bullock Chevrolet, Mori

Brothers Buick Oldsmobile and Cadillac, Vertolli Pontiac and Unsworth Motors which sold Plymouths.

From April through November, the Vineland Speedway offered stock car racing on Friday night, drag races

on Saturday night and sports car racing on Sunday afternoon. The Speedway closed, in 1965, when the

land was sold to make way for the construction of Cumberland County College, which opened in October,

1966.

Restaurants

Even though eating out wasn’t as popular, in the 1950’s and 1960’s as it is today, three busy Landis

Avenue dining cars were Nucci’s, Joe’s and Jim and Larry’s.

Popular hamburger joints on Delsea Drive included the Beef Corral, Charcoal Haven and The Barrel.

The first Cumberland County McDonald’s opened, in 1965, on Delsea Drive across from the Vineland Egg

Auction.

One block North was Vineland’s high end restaurant - the White Sparrow - located at the Northeast corner

of Park Avenue and Delsea Drive.

Recreation

There was a decommissioned jet plane displayed at Landis Park and kids were allowed to climb all over

and through it.

Next to that was the Vineland Little League field. Every child who played there will remember the

distinctive but not unpleasant smell emanating from the nearby Rubinoff Feed Mill.

One hundred yards away, former Cleveland Indian pitcher Ray Narleski and future major Leaguer Ted

Ford competed in Vineland’s high quality, semipro, baseball league. The local bars had a softball

league of their own which played on a field near the Landis Park bandstand.

Boys and girls teams practiced baseball and softball on sandlot fields at Highland Avenue (Vipol), the

Vineland Recreation Club on the Boulevard, at the North Italy Club and on the diamond across from the

Spring Road School.

In the summer, Danny Testa and Clarion Cosh operated Vineland Day Camp at Rainbow Lake.

Horseback riding was available at the Rocking R Ranch on West Oak Road.

For movie dates, Vinelanders had their choice of the Landis Theater, The Grand or the Delsea Drive-in.

The Vineland Roll-O-Rink (upstairs) and Spiegel’s Bowling Center (downstairs) shared the same building

at the Boulevard and Landis.

Miscellany

Throughout 1950’s, and 1960’s, new housing developments were springing up all over the City.

The children of Owens-Illinois employees were feted at annual Halloween, Christmas and Easter parties

in the 0-I “Club House” building.

Virtually all of the City’s children waited in line for hours to receive their polio vaccine shot at clinics held

at Memorial Junior High School.

And, finally, all school aged Vinelanders listened intently to the snowstorm school closing

announcements on Vineland’s own AM Radio station: WWBZ.

REMEMBERING A PIONEER

Vineland native, Darrlyn D’Ippolito Mann, was sworn in as an attorney in December, 1974. Remarkably,

she was the only female licensed to practice law, among the 130 attorneys working in Cumberland

County, at that time!

Throughout her career, Darrlyn concentrated her professional efforts in the field of family law. Though

petite in size, Darrlyn’s skills in the handling of matrimonial cases were mighty. She quickly earned a

reputation as a talented and formidable advocate. Simultaneously, Darrlyn set a high standard of

competence for the many female attorneys who have followed.

Two of Darrlyn’s personal trademarks were her long black hair and her spiked, high heeled shoes.

Darrlyn began as an associate at the Tuso and Gruccio office. After a while, she and Joseph P. Testa

formed the firm of Testa and Mann. Some years later, Darrlyn went into law partnership with Jay R.

Moore. That venture eventually became Mann, Moore, Ferrigno and Cavagnaro, P.C.

Darrlyn, Jay Moore and the late Jerry Spall, were among the originators of the Matrimonial Early Settle-

ment Panel program.

Sadly, Darrlyn passed away, on January 24, 2006, at the age of 56, following a lengthy and courageous

battle with cancer.
