Some indication of the luxury afforded the operators fortunate enough
to secure an assignment to the Marconi station at Belmar is given in the
illustrations on this page. The upper photograph shows a portion
of the land set aside for the raising of fresh vegetables for the table.
Twelve acres of the 600-acre tract are planted with garden truck
for all seasons and experienced farm hands give this feature undivided
attention. The photograph on the lower left hand shows
part of the shower room in the hotel, an additional comfort to the sixteen
bathrooms provided for the men. Outdoor sports play a large part
in the life of the section and while the shower baths are not meant to
be competitive with the sea and still water bathing, they will undoubtedly
be greatly enjoyed by those coming off duty on a summer's day or returning
from a hard set of tennis on the courts provided for the staff. |
