LIFE GUARDS Go ON DUTY JULY 1

Twenty-one life guards go on the
beach tomorrow for the summer sea-
son, and the men who report, with the
exception of three, are all "old timers"
who carry a yearly coat of sunburn
and who accept a rescue as only an
incident in the days program. Wild
wood has an efficient corps of guards
and if one was to compare them with
those of other seashOre resorts he
would no doubt be confident of his
personal safety under their vigilance.
Many of them have seen over five
years of service and know the best
possible way to save time and energy
when the seconds and sheer strength
count.

the leadership of Capt. Edward Cox,

the University of Pennsylvania in the

Livezey, who will be seen at Pine ave-
nue., were both life guards last year.

is a powerful lad. He was a member
of the Wildwood basketball team.

be stationed in front of the Casino
Baths and have served three and four
seasons respectively. They are both
college boys.

son, and Harry Station, a new man.

RIG AUDIENCES GREET CONWAY
AND HIS BAND

Patrick Conway and his Band en-
tertained a large number of people
last Sunday afternoon and evening in
the Ocean Pier Ball Room. The con-
certs were of exceptional merit and
high calibre and pleased the audiences
very much. In the afternoon the con
cert was free, and in the evening a
small admission fee was charged, so
everyone was given the opportunity
TO hear the band that has gained ma
tion-wide recognition. The singing of
Miss Mathilda Verba, Belgian soprano,
was keenly enjoyed by the large au-
diences. At each concert Miss Verba
sang two classical airs and as an en-
core sang april Showers" The cor
net sole by Ernest F. Pechin was ex-
celIent. and Pedro Lozano, in his solo,
Carnival of Venice" showed that he
was a true master of the trombone.
The audience in the evening was a
large one and almost every seat in the
large ball room was occupied. The
receipts must have been very crafty
ing to the Music Committee. The
band was secured under the au-
spices of the Music Committee of the
BOARD of Trade and reflects much
credit upon the work of Miss Lydia j.
Mech and her assistants. Conway
played at Willow Grove when that
park was opened in Philadelphia about
20 years ago.
