SLAUGHTER BEACH

Residents and new comers had 1
: fine example of shifting winds al
this place on Sunday about noon
The sun was shining and all seem
ed well for a good day when .hC
wind changed and blew from the
north and brought a rough sea with
it. Much excitement was evident sll
along the bay front, and folks began
to prepare for a blow" The priced
sail boat belonging to Jack Burris
which gives much pleasure to the
boys and girls, was turned over. AL
most at the same minute six stall
wart young CCC boys came along
and in the nick of time the boat was
uprighted and on shore. This all
happened because of the center
board being up. The boat is other
wise safe. Over at the lighthouse
damage was done to several boats,
and two men and one woman had
injuries to happen to their hands
because of the iamming of boats
caused by the sudden winds. In the
afternoon all was calm again and
the balance of the day passed as
usual.
Wire for the lights on the board
walk has been strung this week and
as soon as a transformer has been
put in place the current will be
turned on.
Residents who are on the same
telephone line as the CCC Camp
were awakened about 5:45 on We'd
nesday morning by the continued
ringing for the camp physician, DR..
Fielding. A very bad accident had
happened in front of the camp by a
large Packard car skidding into an
abutment and turning over. Six men
from Chester, Pa, were on their way
here for a days fishing. All but the
driver were injured, two seriously.
