LIFESAVERSNEED OF OUTFIT

VENICE CORPS IS POORLYEQUIPPED

SHOULD HAVE MOTOR BOAT AND

ACCESSORIES

Adolph Toenjes, Hero of San GabrielFlood, Is Laid Up as Result

of Daring RescueWork

VENICE, Jan. S.—Tardy, but never-theless hearty, appreciation bythe public of their heroic services

h'-is resulted In greatly brightening tho."Writs of members of tho Venice vol-unteer life saving corps. The agita-

tion being made to procure the neces-sary funds to furnish tho corps withmodern life-saving apparatus of themost Improved typo is watched by theboys with deep interest. Hope is ex-pressed on all hands that the agitationmay result in beneiit to the crew In avery substantial nature.

The recent exploit of the Venice lifesavers in rescuing four persons fromtheir dangerous predicament in theirlittle home surrounded by the floodwaters of San Gabriel river In LosNietos valley has attracted more at-tention than ever before to the self-Bacriflcing work of tho young mencomposing the Venice volunteer corps.This most recent performance of theboys was the climax to a series of ac-tivities in life saving extending overthree years that probably equals therecord of any similar organization Inthe United States. It Is gratifying in-deed, declare members of the corps, tosee that the great mass of people di-rectly and indirectly affected by theirwork on the beach, have come torealize the importance of the lifesavers to this community., At a, meeting a few weeks ago themembers of the life saving corps re-

' organized, shedding the name of"United States Volunteer" and adopt-ing the name "Venice Volunteer"corps. The boys had been Induced toassociate themselves with the govern-ment volunteer service with the prom-ise of flnancia' support, but the sup-port never materialized. Funds for themaintenance of the .ife saving workare provided by citizens of the beaches—practically the various civic organ-izations and women's clubs. Fre-quently entertainments are held by thelatter, at which small sums are re-allzi for the ,orps. None of the mem-bers receives a cent for his work, butengages. in It purely from a heroicspirit and a. desire to aid humanity indistress.

Each member of the crew, is em-ployed in or around Venice, and when-ever the life saving alarm is given,drops his work and hastens quickly to

s the station at the end of the Venicepier. One case is recorded where amember lost thia position for respond-ing to an alarm, but fortunately such

\u25a0 instances are rare. By a recent ar-rangement with the Los Angeles Pa-cific railway, brought about throughthe agency of. President Fred K. Mc-Carver of the Venice chamber.of com-merce, the railway company agrees tohaul the life boat and paraphernalia ofthe corps to any point on Its lines Inease of an emergency free of cost andfurnish a special car for the purpose.By this means the field of the lifesavers Is expanded to take in the beachnorthward to the long wharf andsouthward to Redondo-Beach.

Tom Wilae Is captain of the corps,•with his brother, George Wilde, second

lieutenant, and Adolph Toenjea secondlieutenant. John Molitor Is quarter-master. The following are members ofthe corps, being ranked as surfmen,shoremen and boatmen: George Mc-Manus, Alex Gray, Dan I£nl , StanleyTawasend, David Moreno, Albert Rom-ero, Marcus Lee, Henry Toenjes,Harry Kouck, John Makin, r*. Yarnelland Clifford Bowes, mascot. An exec-utive committee, which directs the ac-tions of the life savers in time of need.is composed of Capt. P. Grant, Capt.W. King, G. L. Anderson and GeorgeHubbard.

The equipment of the life savingcorps is very inadequate, in the opinion-of those familiar with the operation oflife saving stations on the Atlanticcoast and Great Lakes. An eigrhteen-fOOt, four-oared life boat Is the onlycraft available when the boys are com-jiell 1 to make v trip beyond the surf.A small number of corl; jackets andlife buoys, with line, make up thebalance of the paraphernalia.

A motor life boat, unsinkablo andcapable of great ipeed, such a type asthat in use at government life saving-stations, is greatly desired by the Ven-ice corps to place it in position tolender quicker aid to drowning per-sons. In addition to this a long list oflife saving accessories would have tobe provided for the corps before Itcould be considered firmly established.

Adolph Toenjes. who "with GeorgeMcManus, braved the torrential writersof San Gabriel last Sunday, was in-jured in the right log by becoming en-tangled in a barbed-wire fence. Littleattertion was paid to the injury atflrrt, but it hi.s since developed a pos-sibility of blood poisoning, according tothe attending physician. Toenjes isnow practically laid up as a result ofhis volunteer life saving work.
