BALL Of THE SURF
I STATE OF BEACHES
NEED FDR EXTREME CARE
The long spell of fine weather is attracting increasing numbers of devotees to the surf, and with the temperature of the water moderate at the present time good conditions over the weekend should see large crowds on the local beaches. Need for extreme care is urged, especially at St. Clair, where the beach is definitely dangerous except for the portion between the flags, and. all swimmers are urged to keep within this zone. A good deal of sand has been washed away, and there are a number of holes, while a strong backwash affords all the more reason for caro. The beach is in better order at St. Kilda, but there are several danger spots fairly close to the shore, and bathers are warned to keep between the flags which will be in use this week. The Tomahawk Beach is in fairly good order, but here again bathers are warned to keep between the flags. On St. Clair and St. Kilda Beaches members of the life saving clubs are in attendance over the weekend, but the work of safeguarding the public at Tomahawk Beach has been in the hands of Mr J. Pereira, who holds the highest awards of the Royal Life Saving Society. He has carried out the work .for many years past.
