The Ban on Cameras To the Editor of the "Noeru-Cuma Day News"
Sm—May I be allowed space in your valuable and widely read paper to support "Stubbed Toe's" suggestions for the improvement of Chapoo Beach which appeared in to-day"s issue of the "North-China Dail) News." Having lost a valuable toe nail through coming into violent contact with a submerged rock—whilst bathing off this popular beach, hasten to state that I am also willing to contribute $5 towards the removal of the offending stones and small rocks which at present encumber the beach. I venture to respectfully suggest to the Chappo authorities that the said loose obstructions could be removed for something in the neighbourhood of $100 thus making bathing at this delightful spot real pleasure, and like friend "Stubbed Toe" I feel sure that no great difficulty will be experienced in raising the necessary funds from amongst the Shanghailanders who make use of Chapoo Beach during the season, 1 should also like to suggest to the authorities with all due deference that they consider the modification of the present ban on the use cameras on the beach, by permitting their use on the beach itself, It really is a hardship and disappointment to many that they are debarred from making a pictorical record of their best girl attired in the latest Holly-]wood bathing creation, to say _nothing of committing grandpa's manly form to a place in the family album, Another suggestion Is for the authoritles to assume control of the car park, making a fair charge for this Service and eliminating the present pernicious "look see" pests, ensuring that one's car is not interfered with during one's absence.
Hoping that the Chapoo authorities will take these suggestions in the same friendly spirit in which they are tendered, and thanking you for Shanghai, June 13,
