Safety Step In Cedar River Beach Sparks Debate
A new high diving springboard at Cedar River park beach is anchored in deep water for strong swimmers, while a smaller platform was moved to shallower water for children and non-swimmers. A half inch rope marks the safe zone but critics call it inadequate. The Woman’s Athletic Association denounces the policy, and candidates may be pressed to support a safer bathing area amid local criticisms of private funding. In Washington, national veterans chief Robert S. Marx told a Senate committee that former service members face harsh conditions postwar.
