A Philadelphia man was drowned and another died of a broken neck in a swimming accident in Southern New Jersey resorts yesterday.
    The drowning was the first fatality of the season in Wildwood, N.J. The second death resulted when the swimmer failed to calculate a receding tide and dived into eighteen inches of water at Pennsgrove, N.J.
    The man drowned at Wildwood was Philip McGoldrick, 40, an assistant fireman at St. Joseph's Convent, Chestnut Hill.
    The victim of the Pennsgrove accident was Morris M. Call, 47, of 2948 North Bailey Street, a city fireman for the last twenty-three years.
    McGoldrick had gone to Wildwood to spend the day with Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Mahoney, of the seashore resort, both of whom were rescued by lifeguards and revived after they made futile attempts to save McGoldrick's life.

    According to Life Guard Joseph Hoffman, who with Lionel Edwards, another guard, rescued the two and carried McGoldrick's lifeless form from the surf, the three paused at the lifesaving station at the foot of Magnolia Avenue to leave their beach robes. As they stood there, Hoffman said, Mahoney remarked jocularly, "If we look as if we're drowning, don't come out for us. We'll be all right."
    "I watched them go out," Hoffman said, "Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney plunged through the surf and swam out. McGoldrick waded out until he was about waist deep. A wave washed over him, and then I couldn't see him any more. I ran to get the boat out."
    Perceiving McGoldrick's plight, the Mahoneys turned and swam toward him, but their efforts to save him only exhausted them. By the time a lifeboat and crew dragged them ashore, all were unconscious.

    Resuscitation measures quickly revived Mahoney and his wife, but although guards and physicians worked on McGoldrick for several hours, they failed to revive him. A certificate of accidental death was signed by Coroner Benjamin Ingersoll, Jr.
    Call, whose neck was broken in the Pennsgrove accident, died in the Salem County Hospital at Salem, N.J. a short time later. He had been a member of the Bureau of Fire for twenty-three years, and at the time of his death, was an engineer attached to Engine 2, Warnock and Berks Streets.
    With his brother, Joseph, an operator in the City Hall Electrical Bureau, and some friends, he had gone to Pennsgrove for the day.
    During the morning members of the party had been diving off a board into the river, and Call returned to resume the sport in the afternoon, not realizing that the recession of the tide had reduced the depth of the river at the point to a scant few feet.
    Dr. Davis W. Green, of the hospital staff, said that Call had snapped his spine at the base of his skull and that death had been almost instantaneous. The dead man, who was the son of former Magistrate Joseph Call, is survived by his widow [Lena Erb Call] and one son, Joseph.

    J. LEON AND JENNY MAURER, of 7117 Valley Ave., Roxborough, who met in Sunday school, are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary today.
    Maurer was teaching in a one-room schoolhouse in Pittman, Schuylkill County, when he and the former Jenny Dunkelberger decided to marry. THey had met at St. Paul's United Evangelical Church in Pittman where they both attended Sunday school.
    A year later, in 1913, the young couple came to Philadelphia where Maurer worked as a trolley conductor until he received an appointment to the post office. He retired after 40 years of service.
    Maurer said he didn't like retirement, so he took a job handling mail for Pennsylvania Hospital for a couple of years.
    In 1959, the couple bought their home in Roxborough.
    Maurer says he now keeps busy in the garden, while his wife takes care of the house.
    The have one son, Lenwood F., two grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
