In case you didn’t know, the two dances held during the holidays and for Valentine celebration at Convention Hall were a huge success. Many are wondering when the next one will be... JUST SO you know — come summer .when the concerts resume once again at the Bandstand park, it’s important, if you want to sit on chairs, that you bring your own. Otherwise. it’s all right to sit on the grass if you care to. but this is how it’s going to be in the future, says Mayor Blomkvest. The other.way it’s too much of a hassle transporting chairs to and from the concert, plus having to pay the help to do so. There’s going to be a rummage sale Saturday. March 24. starting 10 a m

right in-the Rescue Souad Building on Franklin Street, sponsored by the Cape May Rescue Squad Auxiliary. Lots of good buys; you’ll remember there was a "mad" rush at the last sale. Everyone knows what kitid of "goodies” you can get at the rummage sales run by this very dedicated group. Mark your calendar now. Things to come: Some new stores around Convention Hall. The old-train station at Lafayette Street will be the place where some of those “noisy” buses will stop, perhaps eliminating all the exhaust fumes and continued running bus motors. Our thahkfc to Mayor Blomkvest and City Council and also many thanks to City Manager Fred Coldren, for this very sensible move. We’re moving in the right direction and we can always count on progress and more

And to top it all. Freeholder Sturm says now <it’s a fact. Cape May has the longest season of all the other resorts excluding Atlantic City.
