SLAUGHTER BEACH

l The glorious Fourth is safely pass
{ ed. The day here was perfect, the
weather, the bathing, and everything
p was just right fog an enjoyable day
at the shore. From the number OF
cars one was reminded of Big Thurs
day. The hotel was crowded to its
capacity. 1t really was the best
Fourth in years. The crowd stayed
down for the evening, too, and all
along the shore groups were seen
around a bonfire or else just visiting
with each other. There were some
fireworks displayed by individuals
for their children and enjoyed by
all who were near. 1t was splendid
day at the shore.
:, One of the events of the day was
flag raising in front of Capt. Her.
man Johnson's cottage at the south
end of the beach. The flag called
attention to a splendid new pole that
has been erected recently. The resi-
dents at the southern end can boast
of their patriotism for there are four
fine flag poles that support our ma
tiOnal emblem, while they are pathet-
ically missing at the northern end.
