this time of year, hammers,

under way early.
X 1t takes a lot of getting ready
to assure that you'll be as happy
at the beach this year as you
were last year, so that you'll
come back again next year.
Z Motel and hotel operators
are tussling with carpenters,
I masons and maids. And mu-
inequalities are tussling with
the sand.
At wildwood, a big bulldozer
was at work pushing storm
tossed sand back into the sea.
Winters northeasters had piled
1t high against piers and
around the Information Center.
Problems Differ
At Virginia Beach. an intri-
cate system of dredges and
piping was at work pumping
sand back onto the beaches.
Each area has its own special
sand problem. Those smooth,
broad stretches Of beach don't
happen by accident.
Sand is not the only thing
tossed by the sea. Soon. all
along the coast, huge raking
machines will begin clearing
the sand of driftwood. kelp and
other objects thrown up by
wintry waves. This is virtually
a daily operation in some areas.
A few years ago, we visited
Ocean City during the final day
Of a northeaster. The storm
blew itself out while we slept.
When we looked from a win
down in the morning, we could
see little but sand. The board
walk was covered, indicating
one of the spring cleanup prob
lens facing the beaches.
The changing character Of
the beach resorts is even more
evident this year. 1t is wrought
by the hammers, saws and con-
crete mixers. Comfort. coupled
with inevitable higher prices, is
the keynote.

or single.
The older hotels have been
forced by competition to re-
decorate and modernize. Rooms
without bath are virtually nom
existent today. This new build
ing and modernization keeps
the carpenters and masons
happy, and the resort operators
on edge as they watch seasonal
headlines approach.
The beaches have long been

for weekend or week long
trips. Several Of the new motels
this year are borrowing an idea
from the more plush motels,
and putting in fancy suites,
with the frank intention of
Turing Washington executives
and top Government officials.
One has a Governors Suite, +"
another an Executive Suite. +"
The new La Concna, at At
lantic City. has a $l30-a-day
penthouse suite, complete with
color television, a personal
Japanese houseboy and a hell
port on the roof.
Some day when we can scrape
together $1.81, we'd like to
buy 20 minutes of that luxury,
