The completion of the first week OF
the bathing beach shows the munich
pal swimming resort to have become
quite popular. Notwithstanding that
the river is too high to permit any but
those who know how to swim to enter
the water, there has been $50 patrons
of the beach since July when 1t
opened.
That the people will seek the water
to get away from the great heat Of the
past few days was best demonstrated
Friday when Lightweight persons
bought tickets and went in for swim
This is the largest number for any
day thus far and P. B. Cain who is in
charge of the beach, says that the
crowds seem to increase daily.
Under Mr.. Cain who has direct
charge of the beach is Ray Wright
who is employed to guard the bathers.
Mrs. Wright who sells the tickets and
F. Zaubitzer who takes care OF the
suits, towels, checking, etc.
The demand for permits to swim at
the beach is not confined to the male
sex alone, but women and girls as well
have sought the permission. Owing
to the stage of the river they were
turned away.
