BOWERS BEACH

Not perhaps in the history of this
place were there as many visitors
here on any one day in the month of
March as were here on last Sunday.
The beautiful spring weather and the
conditions of the roads for travel over
them was one of the main causes, per-
haps, and the heralded prospects of
the great changes in the makeup of
the place with what has been done
and the very probable assurance of
what will be done in the very near
future was an incentive to draw hun
dreds of persons backward ana TO
spend a part of the day looking over
the situation. From morning until late
in the afternoon there was a con-
stant passing of automobiles to and
fro-many cars bearing PennsylVa-
mia and Maryland license tags. The
visitors seemed to enjoy themselves
in strolling on the beach and many
following the Old-time custom of
placing their spreads on the sand and
enjoying their lunch. 1t was almost
beyond comprehension to think from
the appearance of the visitors on the
beach that it was only around the
middle of the month of March.
