T raged y: ' Part .Once
We . went through' a "beach
village" last weekend, on our
way • to, visit the grandparents.
YOU know the sort -of place: per-
haps , 83 `y'ear-round " residents,
and. once • the 'weather • warms,
about `10,000 par -boiled foreign•,
ers every :weekend': and all
through July :and August::
It's not ray, cup of tea, but
such a . resort' has something.
There's 'a carnival excitement
for the teenager: And for family
groups and, the middle-aged, it
means getting . away from the
City, . yet not having Oto cope' with
;the wild, -.frightening. silence of '
the real . country.
Sun and'sand and sky at these
places . are: magnificent: So are
some .of, the bronzed, bikini•clad
goddesses wriggling •past • the
penny: arcades and shooting gal-
leries- + . •
But it isn't these things that
give the beach village its atmos-
phere. No, it's a compound of
other thingsthat make them •
fascinating: .
There are 'the wonderful'
smells:' hamburgers frying; stale
beer; gasoline fumes; fish;, faul-
• ty: septic tanks:
There are ' the fresh -air
sounds: eight ' thousand gulls
fighting over garbage; the
squeal of tires and vroom of ex-
hausts as the punks scatter kids
like quail;. the 'whine of power
boats • beheading' swimmers.
•And -.of .Course• there• are the
,sights. Here the. pen falters.
Words, alone cannot convey the
impression of thatpink, pot-bel-
lied man in the purple ' sport
shirt, that' lavish lady, whose
slacks' match: exactlyher' orange
hair.
Nor do the beach villages
neglect the sense of: '.touch.
There's the stove -hot, sticky as-
phalt underfoot, There's the
cool thrill of bare feet on some
kid's dropped 'popsicle. There's
• the satisfying crunchunderfoot
of a half -eaten bag ''or -Potato
chips:
I'm,
m5, not knocking these places.
They have their own .charm, like .
zoos. At any. rate, there we
were, heading: for this beach vil-
lage, which lies across our route
to Granny's, And suddenly they
started to • batter past • us, . in
pairs, in threes,in gaggles 'of
five or six: the motorcycle •
gangs. There were at least three
as The Marauders., across the
backs of blackleather' jackets.

watching , them. , fly - by, ',black,

-We' stopped in the village to

was on. They were everywhere.

Nothing . happened. We were-

there'd been lquite a rumble at

On the .• way' home, o e,r the

.whether they .had' left, ' There
didn't seem to' be any sign ,of
them: Then weturned a .corner.
There was .a big crowd in the
middle of the road. A policeman
waved us by. On ;the pavement
were.• two bodies, covered with
blankets. But you could see the
cowboy boots` sticking out. •A
greasy -haired girl crouched,,
stroking the face of one of .the
young men lying there. •
I. don't know whether they
were dead. I don't think so, be-
cause nobody seemed hysterical,
and the cops . were calm). even
indifferent.
It was rather like `watching
the last scene of a tragedy,
when you'd seen only Act I and
then had: to leave. . •
