Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1917-08-17

WOOu Doacu WIS bndt Vi ldSb Suuudy,
August IL, 1917, when 10000 people
were In bathing or ~promenading on the
sandy beach. The sea was smooth, yet
the life guards were kept busy rescuing
the venturesome and the timid ones
who became afraid. About thirty res
cues were made. Everyday for the past
three weeks the weather has been fine
and the hot days have caused the
people to go to the beach early In the
day and stay late. Some play ball on
the hard beach, others play In the sand
and build sand houses, while many
seek the shade under the boardwalk.
Some bathers bring their lunch with
them. The life guard hospital Is full
most of the time and the doctors kept
busy dressing cut feet and attending
to fainting patients. The captain Of
the guards rides up and down on the
beach on his motorcycle on the look
out for those needing help. There is
said to be more bathing in the Holly
Beach section, from Davis svenuedown,
than their is in the Wildwood section.
