Entertaining A Nation; The Career Of Long Branch
PREFACE ENTERTAINING A NATION The Career of Long Branch is the New Jersey Writers Projects response to the highly interesting challenge of writing the history of a city which is both a resort and a resident community. As completed, it embraces the joint efforts of the Project and the citizens of Long Branch, who took a liveIy interest in its progress and contributed generously of their historical materials and personal reminiscences. Representative of this spirit of cooperation was the advisory committee appointed by Mayor Alton V. Evans William M. Smith, superintendent of schools, chairman Mrs. Harry Heldc, Miss Eva Howard, Mrs. Harold C. Morford, A. Lawrence Plager, Miss Ethel Pultz and Francis Rosenfeld. They read the entire manuscript and offered many constructive suggestions. To them, and to many others, far too numerous to name individuaIly, the Project ex presses its gratitude.

Weine, Virginia Hyndsman and Caroline Metsgar of the Monrnouth and Ocean Counties unit of the Project.

The citys desire to develop its recreational and civic potentialities has never before been more forcefully expressed than at present. The colorful and romantic resort tradition becomes exceedingly live, considered in terms of todays municipal beaches, an improved hardwalk, attractive bathing casinos and marine construction for the protection of the shorefront. These are modern manifestations of an enterprising spirit responsible for rhe citys most prized memory, its three decades as the Republics summer capital and as the gathering place of the Clite of the Nation. President Grant once said that in all his journeyings he had never seen a spot better suited for a summer residence than Long Branch. The progressive aaitude of the citizenry has kept faith with the community of seventy years ago which merited that high compliment. In the second respect Long Branch has also maintained a rendezvous with the promise of the future. When the golden haze of the Nineties drifted away from our shores, it left starkly visible probIcrns of education, roads, pubIic utility supply systems and municipaI government...
