Although they obviously do the lifeguards are not gaily concerned with making the beach more colorful But this year they have in spite of themselves Because of a brainstorm of Capt Roy (Dutch) Miller a- ft fy and his boys large spots of bright color have been added to the ocean front life guard stations for the forth-coming summer season it 'it if THE TOPS of each of the lifeguard stations along the ocean front have been painted in different colors The colors range from a bright canary yellow through deep blue and green to orange and red One has been left white The purpose of this is not to make the beach prettier all an ingenious plot by the lifeguards to cut down the number of lost and adults After all they were called to locate more than 4000 of them last year and hope to cut that number down this i season it it it THEf IDEA is that when the family first gets to the beach mama points out the color of the nearest life guard station Then when junior gets lost he knows where he was before he got that way And for color blind adults they have painted the name of the nearest street on the front and back of the stations One of the other innovations the lifeguards have in effect this year is a system for flying the American Flag when a lifeguard is on duty at each station If you see the flag you will know there is no lifeguard working at the time Of course old timers at the beach say that young girls have been able to tell whether the lifeguard was on duty without the use of a flag Ii aiii Tavern Assn to Open Parley Tuesday in LB NEW HUES The sixth annual convention of
