BOWERS

While the vacation season is at an
end, yet there are many visitors com.
ing TO Bowers for a day or weekend
while Sunday continues TO bring many
automobile parties. Last Sunday was
especially noticeable for this and the
crowd was almost equal to one of the
larger days of mid-season. The sea
son of 1919 was probably the best that
Bowers ever had, but it was below
what it would have been had not the
conditions been against public travel,
because Of the wet weather and heavy
conditions OF the roads 1t is a GER
tainty that the conditions for travel
viii be far better next season than
they ever have been in the past, and
it is now time for the people OF Bow
ers to plan for the care of visitors
and also for their amusement, so as to
attract larger crowds. Why not ar
range for the establishing of a system
of entertainments, such as merry-go-
rounds, and the other things which
please the children as we'll as the older
folks. Let US have a real dancing
pavilion. with regular dancing floor.
and excellent music during the entire
season. What the public wants, we
must give to them.

The little Love God, Cupid, brought
about a very romantic marriage at

man of Bowers Beach, and Miss Helen
NJ ChilcOt, of Mount Union, Pa, took
place. The young lady had been spend
ing her vacation with her parents and
friends in the Delaware Cottage in
South Bowers, and nothing which
would lead any one to suspect any
tender emotions existed between them
was noticed. Miss Chilcot being al
most an entire stranger to the people
of Bowers, she made frequent visits
to the dancing of evenings at the Cas-
ino, where Mr.. Buckaloo was an at
tentive partner in the dancing with
