ee - HE Nortu Swore season is on! Earlier than usual 
4 families have settled in their summer homes along the 
_ North Shore. Scores of families are already here; scores 
__ more are opening their houses getting ready to come. The 
first of May usually finds a few families arriving, but 
_. this year the number is very much in excess of the nor- 
~ mal in that respect. The big influx of summer visitors— 
the first big influx—is usually about the 2oth of May. 
Indications are that the number will be unusually heavy 
this season along toward that period.

LANS are already in the making for much activity 
along the North Shore this season in the way of sur- 
gical dressings committees and Red Cross work. At 
Manchester, Magnolia, Beverly Farms and Beverly, also 
in Hamilton and Wenham, and in Ipswich there are al- 
ready active committees at work. This is also true of

Ann sections. These committees will be augmented by 
committees of summer visitors working with the local 
people on much broader and more general lines than the 
last two seasons. People will be interested to learn of
