SLAUGHTER BEACH

This week finds many NOR
stretches of the new boardwalk fin
ished. Now there remains one o
two at the north and as many at tn
south end of the beach. No on
thing could add to the pleasure o
I the residents as well as the visitor
as much as the new walk which il
much wider than the old one. ThOst
who like a brisk walk before retir
ing can do so without a fashligh
as was the custom in the days o
the old walk. With almost a mile
stretch daily walk will add to the
appetite if the salt breeze has fail
ed in that direction. With these
moon light nights that have been Ell
ioyed this week it seems that the
ideal place is right here.
No mention was made last week
of the splendid concert that the
Boys Band, of Milford, gave in the
pavilion on the 21st of June. Fav-
orable comment was general and
the wish that they would play every
week was heard on all sides. The
program was an especially good
one, being well rounded out and not
the usual band selections played on
like occasions. Would it be asking
too much of the organization to re-
peat their concert. if not every
week but as often as is convenient
for them?
This week another fine fishing
boat was launched by the Deputy
brothers to add to their fleet for
summer fishing. II was given the
