SLAUGHTER BEACH

cause the season was not right ANY
number of cottages have been open
since early in June. Now that we
are in the middle of July many folks
are set for the summer. The past
week has been delightful, the rain
coming on Tuesday made a break in
the continual sunshine. Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Hause have again un-
dertaken the management of the ho-
tel here and report that they are
quite busy. Good meals, with some
variety of sea food as u part of the
menu, have brought many to the ho-
tel for luncheons and dinners. The
Rotary Club of Milford enjoys it's
weekly meeting there. Red Cross
swimming classes were conducted,
as usual, last week, and many chill
dren were started on the way to be-
ing good swimmers, while the more
advanced classes were moved up to
the next class. The classes brought
many down to watch the progress
made by the children. With the good
weather continuing, this season
promises to be as enjoyable as in
other years.
