Fenwick Island Gains
AS Tourist Attraction

house is still the same as it
was a century ago.
There is no boardwalk at
Fenwick Island and probably
never will be. Bathers find
wide, white beach awaiting
their pleasure, completely free
from all distractions. OF
course well-trained, competent
lifeguards are on duty every
day.
Can't Please Everyone
In his efforts to offer Ocean
City vacationers the best of
everything, a local motel owner
spent thousands of dollars in
stalling air conditioning along
with the construction of his new
motel. When work was COM
pleted the happy owner dis
pensed with all the final details
and opened his doors several
days before the Memorial Day
holiday, sure that his air con-
ditioning and other modern
features would guarantee a
most successful season.
So what happened? The first
guest to arrive asked for a room
without air conditioning!
This and many other similar
incidents are all in a days work
to Ocean City businessmen who
deal with the public.
A motel or hotel completely
furnished with twin beds at
tracts nothing but customers
seeking a room with double
beds. When rooms are furn-
ished with double beds, the op-
posite is true. Local room
renters. however, think they
have this problem licked with
two double beds in each room.
1t was an expensive move but
it apparently solved the prob
lem.
Then there was the woman
last summer who asked if she
and her family could be moved
from unit IS to A. Because all
the units in this particular
motel were exactly the same,
the motel owner naturally asked
the. woman why she wanted to
be moved, After much hesita-
ton the woman finally admitted
she was after the larger frying
pan in unit A. The situation
was easily corrected with the
switching of frying pans.

OCEAN CITY, Md.-Just
north of Ocean City on the
Delaware Maryland border lies
the tiny resort town of Fenwick
Island, a community that
many people consider will one
day be the northern limits of
Ocean City.
Already Ocean City vaca-
TONERS have started visiting
the scenic little town that nes-
ties around the picturesque Fen
wick Island Lighthouse. With
a wide, six-lane highway con-
Meeting the two resorts, it's
only matter Of minutes for
visitors to drive the short dis
tance from one city to the
other.
Although the town of Fen
wick Island marked its Tooth
anniversary last year, it has
only been in recent years that
the resort entered into active
competition for the tourist
trade. Prior to that time the
town was a sleepy little coastal
village that snuggled close
around the protective light
house.
1t was because Of the quaint
character Of the town that va
cationers first started to show
interest. The easy-going way
of the natives, the informal
way of living and of course
the dramatic atmosphere Gre
ated by the warning flash of
the lighthouse, offered visitors
an attraction that could be
found in very few resorts on
the eastern seaboard.
Wide, White Beach
Today Fenwick Island boasts
many new and modern motels,
restaurants, mite clubs and
shopping centers. Whether by
accident or design the Fenwick
Island business people have
managed to retain the old
world quality Of their town.
Many of the streets. although
wide and smooth, are still un-
paved, and this, according to
vacationers, is as it should be.

There is some speculation
here that Riley might have

this. Mike still hopes to get

Nixon also has several other
