Their slowing up service to

that Of delivering large
numbers Q f unprepared
packages of bulk parcel

calculate and affix the post
age to each package.
These places have been

their packages-by weigh

postage before delivery
but, until now, they are not
cooperating.

tempt to keep up with this
rapid growth has been to in
stall a few additional boxes
in the post Office, and to in

Chfistiansted.
The postal officials point
ed out the extremely poor
cooperation on the part Of
local business men and resi-
dents, by failing to install
mail boxes or slots in their
doors to expedite mail deli
very. They pointed Q u t
specific examples of reput-
able business men who re-
fused to even install a sim
pie mail slot in the doors of
their place of business. AT
present there are only
twenty mail boxes or con
tainers installed in the

Rotary President Hooper
explained the splendid job

mail that pours in upon
them on a day by day basis

Mighty Atlantic Helped
Carve Resort at Beach

to spend a few hours in Ocean
City.
During the early period, if
sickness occurred in the resort
one had to write to DIR. Ham
mond in Berlin who would ar
rive on the island about five
days later with a home rem
edy which he prepared himself.
The first board walk was laid
on the sand in sections every
July 4 and taken up and stored
on September Is.
Ropes ran from the beach to
posts in the water and it was
a brave person who would ven
ture into the waves without a
firm hold on the rope.
Daniel Trimper had a merry
go-round on Worcester street
that was pulled by a big white
horse. A blacksmith shop on
Philadelphia avenue Shod the
horses of the town, including
those used to haul the fishing
boats up on the beach and into
the fish pounds which were To-
Gated where the resorts famous
inlet now flows. Fishermen and
workers at the fish pounds
stayed in the camps from Sun
day night to Saturday. An in
tereSting point was brought out
in 1899 when it was discovered
that fishermen were using cav
lar for bait, not realizing it's
value.
The first pier was built in
the early 1900s. 1t had a dance
hall, barber shop, novelty shop,
picture studio and movie thea
ter.

gan with rain and high wind
Monday it was getting worse
Many families evacuated to the
mainland on Tuesday and
Wednesday as the waves
reached hurricane force. BY
late Wednesday the storm hao
reached its peak and by Thurs
day morning the resort had its
now famous inlet.
The fish ponds, nets, horses,
tar pots, the railroad bridge
and station all were at the bot
tom Of the bay. When the de-
briS was cleared, however, and
the people saw the results of
the storm, they realized the
potential in this gift of nature
and soon engaged government
help in keeping the inlet open.

OCEAN CITY, Md.-Tragedy
and humor mark the early his
tory of Ocean City, Maryland,
and as it should, the mighty
Atlantic Ocean has played a
major role in all incidents
worthy of note during later
years.
The earliest known records
pertaining to Ocean City date
to 1869 and, although some
what skimpy, tell of the ship
wreck of Colonel Henry Nor
wood somewhere of Ocean
City.
In 1868 Isaac Coffin erected
the first building, a combina-
ton hotel and tavern called
the Rhode Island Inn. The
opening of this inn aroused
curiosity and brought people
10 Tile DSdCu,
1t was a few years later that
Baltimore interest formed the
Synepuxent Beach Company
and changed the name of the
resort to Ocean City. Through
the efforts of this corporation,
in 1875, the Atlantic Hotel was
built, much to the concern of
Mr.. Coffin. who contended the
resort wasn't big enough to
support two hotels.
To visit Ocean City in those
days, people travelled by stage
coach over the marshes to the
