to their many friends in Boston q.
and now let me suggest that if it is
possible, you spend your summer vaca-
ton at Oak Bluffs because the huge
influx of visitors from the South are
going to impose future restrictions on
the resort . o.. the holiday weekend was
a record breaking event and the steam
ship line was forced to press an extra
boat into service E. the island antici-
pates the greatest business season of
all time E. because national defense
employment has afforded many fami-
lies the means to travel this year and
due to war conditions elsewhere, the
main vacation spot is New England
together with the proximity of Camp
Edwards which attracts friends and
relatives of the soldiers from every
where to the nearest summer resort.
Oak Bluffs tops them all combin-
ing sea shore and country, golfing,
cycling, archery, bowling, dancing,
deep-sea and fresh water fishing,
boating, yachting and complete relaxa-
tion where good food is always ready.
see you there-GOO E DUCK.
