The Pocono Record, The Stroudsburgs, Pa. June 15, 1968: 15-A SHAWNEE -ON DELAWARE The corporate title of the Poconos' most prestigious resort situated off the river road from Sliawnee, Shawnee Inn, is used interchangeably with "Golf Capitol of the East," its other title earned by reputation. This is the point when an establishment becomes an institution in the public image and its reputation generates Perpetuity. Shawnee Inn has become indelibly dubbed "the golfer's paradise" and this is a success phenememon brought about by reasons obvious and subtle. One of the obvious ways to inherit golf patronage is simply to own a good golf course, with vast expanse that takes money to maintain.

Doubting Thomas would have little difficulty in believing the nitrogen content of Shawnee sod to be well in excess of six plus, producing a natural miracle, of which nature itself, unaided by man and fertilizer, is incapable. The vocally conservative would doubtless also expend a few "ahs" at the sight of the lawns, even under microscopic study. To say that the texture of the lawns exceed the forest green velvets fresh off the i in not an indulgence in poetic license.

In fact, a moment is rare when some celebrity cannot be seen there. Is it the unique golfing facilities alone at Shawnee, when urge runs high, that account for the notables' being pulled to the Inn as though under magnetic impulse? Are i i intangibles which play their" role? Notables in constant range of either camera or public eye are essentially actors forced to live in a world of fantasy. Many, however, have deep concepts and appreciation for reality which are rarely excercised. Superficiality, with all its built- in status, name dropping, autograph hounding, and the gamut of public obligation as part of their everyday liveSv Birds of a a flock together, so it is said, and celebrities as well subscribe to the clan, for protection in the form of intellectual simpatico.
