Last week the l;oderieh Aqua Club staged a show which not only at- urracted ab- very large crowd but also gave every imidichtion of the potentialities behind sueli an annual event. Members of the Club are to be commended for their sueeessflil venture. We predict it will be an annual event that will grow with the passing years and become a water spurts spee'tae•!e of considerable 1113g- Initude.'.

'Phis is nut its final objec- tive but rather to provide needed facilities for recreation at the harbor. Baht now the It sub is building a life guard tower—from the pro- ceetls of its water sports day program—which will be placed on the beae'h. Iu addition, the members of the Club plan to provide regular, voluntary life guard serviee at the beach— something that has been obviously neede, ftr. years. Still another project planned by the Club is the buileiiiig of a diving tower with suitable Jiving boards at the end of the south pier These ;ere but initial projects whieli the Agile flub has planned. Others will follow as part of the overall program of the Club to improve facilities at the beach. The Aqua Club deserves praise for its efforts and merits full public support when it hold its burger and better water sports day next year.
