HANDY FASSETT. January 2nd, 1922- 1-7-8-1 COMMUNICATED Phila., Pa., Jan. 6, 1922 Mr- Albert R. Hand, Publisher HThe Star and Wave," Cape May, N. J., Dear Sir: I am one of many Philadelphians who are glad to see qur .favorite resort waking up. The Progressive League deserves great credit for its accomplishments in putting Cape May back on the may where it used to be as. one olf the principal havens of ; heat-evading crowds, and I hope, ; keeping it thereThe proposal to spend - a larger j sum fpr publicity the ooming season is one of the most important that has j ever been brought before the town's officials for decision and one that many of the resort's 'well-wishers hope will be approved- Nothing can be done these days without advertis- j ing; everyone knows that. Rack in the dim, forgotten days when crimson nasal appendages ! were all the rage, and drinking 10' _ per cent, beer and knock 'sm dead whiskey were every-day pleasures,; (instead of luxuries, as at present), people used to scratch their heads and -say: •Cape May? Why, yes; 1 believe I. HAVE heard of that place Quiet ' joint, isn't it ".' Too dead for me, l though!" | But all that is (hanging now. The jazzing, screeching, noisy I crowds who went to "the shore" to dance, eat peanuts and drink booze have spent Aheir energy and their wa:-titne cash. These activities questoinably categaried under the head of "pleasure," were but the outlet for the eWtipns of the war period and the days immediately follow; jng. \ It was the final fling before the dpera. But the orgy; of jazz and wild times is over. People no longer gaze with' satisfaction at each other's wan countenance, pale and sleepy-eyed. They are tired of seeing tango faces, as such worn visages are called in Paris- They want REST. They want QUIETMainly for the reasons stated above Atlantic City has reached the zenith- of its popularity- The past season, it is known, was one of the poorest, financially, in the past decade of that resort's history.1* But the merchants had reaped their gol•den harvest while the public were left with nothing And this coming season where will they go, these jostling, bustling perspiring thousands, who are feeling the reaction after the stress of an unsettled peace, who are, in short, just waking up on their "morning after," with a bad headache and an equally unpleasant taste is their mouths? Many of them, of course, will stay at home to recuperate- But the majority will seek some new haven where, aa soon as they arrive, boardwalk stands will NOT spring up *• it

I along the promenade like mushrooms ^ and fakirs, vendors and Sally-hoo i men will NOT din the visitor's ears 1 1 crying their waresj All of which goes to show that f this is Cape May's one and only op- < J po'rtunity in many, many years. % The country, or at least this part r ; ; of it, has fallen and it is Cape May's i j chance to make good by catching it r ion the rebound, as it were. < ' ' But the throngs, we must remem- i ! .ber, will not naturally flock to Cape I j May because you and I want them to t % or say they should. No, indeed! < ' They must be educated, taught the I advantages of this resort. J It should be thrust before their eyes and mind and kept there con- 1 - tinually that Cape May is THE i t PREMIER RESORT; that coolness 'i - and quietude are merely synonyms i K for Cape May; that besides the best < * bathing beach in the world (only one 1 ' of the things we have to offer) is a i boulevard running parallel with the 1 ' beach for miles, suitable for both 1 driving and riding; that we have i ! golfing, tennis, rowing and fishing. ' j It must be a veritable bombardment < of facts, clearly phrased and attract- < ' , tively presented, brought before the 1 j public at regular intervals. s _ Time and Tide Wait for No Man t s ! There are hundreds of other places t - along the Atlantic coast yMflch have ' r heard the death knell of Atlantic 1 ]City rung as far as being the "Play- < " groud of the Nation" is concerned, i »' They are hustling- They are setting 1 ' things ship-ahap to receive the guests ' with open arms when their campaign « r;of educating the' people to the ad--- 1 " vantages of t'heir own resort, is com- < pleted. . And where is Cape May in this . proposition ? Where will she be when i 1 the psychological moment comes? < s Only the accomplishments, results of | hard work, by the Progressive League < and everyone else can furnish the i I answer. i Where will the people go? Might i as well ask where does a bubble go i when it burstsWhen Atlantic City reaches the end of its downward slide in perhaps ( two seasons, public favor, ever fickle, ] will have pointed its finger, no doufot, . in the direction of its next choice. | Old Man Opportunity, who knocks | at one's door but once in a life-time, , s is baldheaded, we have been told, j . Therefore in answering his summons, e one cannot leisurely raise up an arm . s and try to hold him by his hair— be- ■ y cause he has none! < B Cape May must roll up its sleeves , f and take the old gent to the ground ; |; ! with a driving tackle that will "make ; 'jhim yell loudly and lustily; "Down." rj For if this chance is lost, if this l golden opporunity to offer the means sjof physical rehabilitation to thouss ands of tired-out humanity is pert mitted to pass untried for, some . s other resort will make good, and j ; u , leave Cape May struggling in the rut , ; -jof mediocrity, the butt of crude wit- j | ticisms and styled for all time as a , s' "one-horse burg." 1 s| A SUBSCRIBER, h 0 ' i
