BeochUood War Gardening
Aided BY The Tribune

Beachwood. y. j., June l6.-Residents
Ct the resort hamlet of Beachwood have
added vegetable gardening to their list
Of summer recreations and are doing
their bit TO help win the war Over
thirty lot owners are enrolled in The
Tribune Gardening Contest and are
eagerly striving to make two onions,
beets, turnips, cabbages and melons
flourish where none grew before-a
rather pretentious programme where
the soil is all sand as it is in Beach
wood.
To encourage the gardeners and help
them succeed The Tribune has ar
ranged for the importation of top soil
and fertilizer and offered cash prizes
amounting to $500, to be awarded as
follows:
First-Best display garden products,
$50 first prize. s25 second prize.
Second-Largest yield per plot, $50
first prize, SIS second prize.
Third-Largest area under cultiva-
ton, SIS first prize, SO second prize,
Fourth-Five dollars for each OF the
best specimens of corn, beans, beets,
turnips, sweet potatoes, melons, squash
or pumpkins.
The newly elected Mayor of Beach
wood. J. II. Senior. has appointed the
following Garden Contest Committee
TO promote the contest, arrange for the
exhibition and award prizes: {. H..
Haring. b. A. Levett, Miss Marion W..
Rrashears. Judge William Mills Butler
and DR.. VI. l.. Rowe.
On July 4 this committee will inspect
the gardens, and prize will be given
for the ono best kept. At the Labor
Day celebration an exhibition of garden
products will be held in the clubhouse
and prizes awarded to the successful
contestants. The contest has aroused
much enthusiasm and will result in
some shading OF the high cost of living.
ANY one in Beachwood wishing to enter
the contest will be enrolled on spplica-
tion TO c. H. Haring, chairman OF the
contest committee.

Fathers of little vacationists who
have a propensity TO follow the ques-
/ tioning game to the limit may have
been stumped in the past by the query.
PA, how do they drive piles IN the
ocean," but each morning on the shore
| front there is q small crowd OF inter
ested paters getting the inside in
| formation in advance for the coming
! season on this puzzler. Bathing lessees
are driving piles right and left along
the beach in the constantly slapping
waves. A long fire hose, connected to
a plug on shore and equipped with a
fifteen-foot iron pipe nozzle is aimed
I underwater alongside the pile to be
driven and as the sand is dislodged the
pile is sunk gradually but apparently
very easily TO those who had always
had visions of a Cyclops giant welding
a monstrous mallet.
Asbury Park is lining up for safe
and sane Fourth, for an order prohibit
ing the use of all the larger of the ire

sparklers, colored fires, torpedoes, paper
Z
nouncement is made that the police will
strictly enforce the order putting ban
on the noisier explosives. The attitude
of the commissioners toward a munich
pal display on the evenig of the Fourth
has not been made public. but it is ru-
mored the chances are slim for such
demonstration, inasmuch as the far
more patriotic thing 10 do at this time
is 20 celebrate without recourse to the
old-fashioned method. Young America
will probably have his cap pistol as
usual, but since raising boys TO be SOL
diers and prides and joys at the same
time has become national custom
since April s, mothers and fathers will
undoubtedly have little objection to a
slight injection of the spirit Of rs
and II.
Fishing is getting more popular each
day on the piers here at Asbury, but
beach fishing has been backward, due
10 the cold weather. Men who have
followed the rod and reel game for many
seasons predict that there will be good
fishing just as soon as the sun gets a
chance TO warm things up bit. An
occasional catch of "a striper or 4 chan
mel bass is reported. and in these few
cases the weight has been around
twelve pounds. The Asbury Park Fish
ing Club, which has its attractive head
quarters on the boardwalk just north
of the information Bureau, is ready for
the opening of the season. and its mem.
bers are awaiting only the good
weather signal before they start cast
ing in earnest. The club will conduct
its casting tournament as usual early
in August, following the opening tour
ney at Midland Beach and subsequent
loca meets with Belmar fishermen.
Belmar has won the present cup TWO
wears and Asbury has one leg on the
trophy. Three wins are necessary ior
ownership. ----------

Asbury Park Beach Fisher
men Await Warm Weather

Asbury Park, y. j., June l6.--Asbury
Park looked through a London-like
fog for a good part of the time during
the past week, and though boardwalk
managers struggled along with hopes OF
better weather, with at least a side or
der of sunlight, their prayers were only
answered by heavier clouds OF sea-
driven mist. Mist or no mist, never
theless. there is always a crowd ready
to defy weather and stroll in spite OF
its inclemences, in the meantime keep
ing up spirits by whistling anything
from "Wait Till the Sun Shines,
Nellie to "Smile, Smile. Smile" In
the evenings the haloed mazdas of the
concessions seemed to have the same
magnetic power as ever over the
younger seaside fans. but of course the
older folks found the movie palaces
rather comfortable when the mist as
sumed similarity to a trip TO Pixies
Peak through the clouds. Dreamland
is the real word TO describe the setting.
for everything was just hazy enough TO
make one look around the blurred great
white way for some distinguishable
landmarks for reinsurance that the
Sand Man, Cinderella, or some of the
other well-known characters Of dream
land would not be met on the con-
course.
Speaking of the Sand Man brings me
back to earth again. for Asbury's real
Sand Man has already appeared in the
form Of Billy Blockhern. the sculptor
whose marble is the sand pile. Block
hern is a seasoned fixture at Asbury,
and his works have been viewed with
interest by hundreds of summer visit
ors. His studio gallery is composed OF
about fifty feet frontage along the
boardwalk, where he piles up the sand,
slaps on a bit of water, and with =
knife. presto, makes the eagle scream
for Uncle Sam or tears open pages of
history, from Cleopatra down. The
lightning work of this history portray
er has come to be one of the main at
fractions on the beach, and morning
and afternoon strollers who view the
novelty FOR the first time feel as though
they have discovered a new outdoor
sport. Visitors on the walk, however,
should be conservative in their dress,
for the seaside artist has a comic section
in his hall of fame in which he is quick
to record oddities Of costume and ex-
preston as worn by any of his at
tentive audience. and the rapid repro
duction is usually followed by laughter
at the expense of the victim OF his
camera-like eye.

Each army corps has 500 trained
