Opening Of Beach
Resort Is Postponed

The weather man got his dates
mixed and as result, the formal open
ing of the bathing beach across the
river, announced for this evening, has
been indefinitely postponed, although
it is probable that the ceremonies will
take place early next week.
This postponement of the formal
opening will not in any way prevent
anyone from enjoying the beach, as
everything is ready and Arthur R.
Wilson in charge from 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon until 9 in the evening. The
bath houses will be completed by to-
morrow, the log boom has been estab-
hshed for safety and the beach has
been cleaned up. The beach and the
river is there, awaiting the bathers.
In addition to the bath houses, a
band stand will soon be built on the
grounds and the diving boards and
other apparatus placed.
In establishing this public bathing
beach, one of the objects of the Civic
department of the Commercial Club
has been to provide a safe place for
children, and for this reason there will
be no charge for the youngsters under
the age of 10. The beach slopes grad.
ually into the water and with the life
lines out and man constantly in
charge, the children as well as the
grown-ups in Salem will now have an
ideal picnieking and bathing resort.
When the opening day is announced,
the big automobile parade will take
place, the Cherrian band will play and
the swimming races will be on. The
announcement OF the name to be given
the beach has also been postponed, and
those who have several appropriate
names on hand, may win a season
ticket by suggesting name that ap-
peals TO the judges. Telephone the
Commercial Club, 302.
